Reborn as the Princess' Knight (GL)

Chapter 71: Breakfast in bed for you (I).

Kein's POV

"I said no sex."

I crossed my arms not budging but she giggled opening the easel drawer revealing some of my untouched paint and brush.

"Who said we're having sex?"

Oh Lord have mercy.

...

"Paint me! Come on! I know it'll be a lot of fun!"

Is what she said but...

I held the end of my brush looking over at the half finished canvas. The paint freshly coated, it hasn't dried. I've only done half of her naked body... and she's already tired from posing for only half an hour.

"Pfft-!"

"Oh Rose... you little dummy." I let out an affectionate sigh, seeing her fall asleep on the sofa while she was trying her hardest to strike a sexy pose for me. It honestly felt like a scene from a certain titanic ship movie inside.

Where the main character was asked if the love interest would be able to paint her like one of his French girls. Rose was even rather enthusiastic that she would be able to do it for me.

"Zzz... Mmm..." (Rose) twists and turns with her naked body on my sofa, I was eyeing her chest go up and down in momentum making me look away in embarrassment.

There were a few bite marks here and there- oh dear did I go too overboard?

"This girl will be the death of me." I muttered to myself feeling so ashamed, literally I'm finding new parts of myself that I didn't even know.

I'm not sure if these were parts of the past, Kein's personality resurfacing or a newfound thing as the professor that I'm actually a whole power bottom in this relationship- in any case- ahem.

"A blanket... she'll be cold." I looked around my room, standing up from my little artist chair before grabbing the bed's warm blanket covering her up. It feels a little illegal to move her to my bed at the moment so just covering her up with a blanket should be enough.

The morning is about to set off anyways.

What would a good lover do in a situation where you just had one of the best sex of their lives-?

Well we couldn't pitch in the cuddling plan after because she already fell asleep on a sofa with no other room for me to get in but- another idea came into mine. "I could make her breakfast in bed!"

Who doesn't like breakfast in bed? And besides I can cook them myself!

"Yeah! That's what a good lover would do right after a well rested back from doing the dirty!" I managed to talk myself out of doing something productive as a small ray of daylight set in through my window.

I fixed my clothes and hair, I took a quick shower before taking in my casual clothing where I would borrow an apron once I got settled into the estate kitchen.

I'm sure many of the servants who're probably up and awake at this time to serve breakfast would find it surprising that I'll be there to make something.

"Ah... the towel..."

I reached for the clean towel drying my wet hair, I thoroughly dried it looking at my mirror seeing a few marks left by Rose by the neck and collarbone. It would be difficult to hide without something over it. I could cover it up with a concealer but it would be too time consuming.

If anyone asks- I'll just say a huge bug bit me while I was sleeping. That's a good enough excuse, right?

.-.-.-.-.

In the kitchen...

I was right, there was already a servant here prepping up some ingredients for breakfast. Freshly baked bread that just came out of the oven and a few scrambled raw eggs mixed with salt and pepper placed on a bowl.

"Oh! Milady-!"

The chef realizes I walked in on his kitchen and immediately gave an affirming bow.

"This is the kitchen- are you lost in your own estate milady?" He asks while scratching the side of his head looking confused as to why I was setting foot to servant territory so early in the morning.

There were other maids who were either cleaning, prepping ingredients and drying some plates by the side. I could see their ears perking up in my direction as my voice turned a little shy... "N-No... I'm not lost. I'm actually here with a guest in my room, you see I'm here to make her some breakfast in bed."

My hands sort of played with itself while I said those words... I mean- it's a little embarrassing to say. I've never done this before in the estate, so I'm sure many of the servants would be questioning everything right now wanting to unveil my mystery guest.

"Y-You have a guest, milady?!" A maid couldn't help herself to shout and ask, I nodded in reply.

"I have a guest over my room right now and I would prefer that you leave the serving to me when it comes to her." The moment I said that, all of their eyes went wide. "She's currently asleep and I wouldn't want to startle her with anyone here."

The maids huddled up in the corner talking in excited tones.

"Oh my gosh! It's true milady really does prefer ladies as lovers!" One maid started to fan herself from the new information she obtained, it seems this one didn't believe the rumors that I was more into women than men.

Her co-worker hit her on my shoulder and frowned. "You dummy of course she does! I was trying to shoot my shot this whole summer too!"

Wait, she was what?

She was trying to shoot her shot at me in the summer?!

When was that?! I didn't even realize she was doing that, I thought all maids were kind towards me with no ulterior motives. I covered up my mouth in shock. How many of them were actually trying to seduce me.

I'm too oblivious when it comes to these things- this is why I would prefer the straightforward option.

"I can't believe you're only believing that now- when she has someone over." The other maid continues crossing her arms looking disappointed.

"Oh dear- what if we're misunderstanding things? What if she's just Milady's friend and not her lover!"

"Are you blind- you fool look at her neck!" One maid grabs both of the other maid's cheeks turning them towards me and stares at my neck.

My hand immediately covered the part where it had the most bites and laughed. "I know I can hear you ladies talking over there, and these are not what you think they are- they're bug bites." It was such a lame excuse but that was the only thing I can come up with at the moment.

And since I can't use the light magic to heal these marks-

I can only do this.

"Bug bites she says..."

"I mean is it really-? It doesn't resemble any bug bites I've ever seen. Isn't it too big?!"

"Maybe it is... I mean it is near summer after all. The little critters are out and about crawling at this time of the season."

These girls are the gossipers.

"So um... I hope it's alright for me to use the kitchen, chef." I turned to the chef to get his permission. I know a chef's kitchen is their paradise and it's a hard place to let people in if you're inexperienced. "I promise to make no mess." I raised my hand jokingly swearing on my knightly honor.

The chef shrugged at me with a smile, continuing to do his prepping.

"You are the heiress, milady. You basically own the estate and hence the kitchen is a part of it." The chef moves a little to the side making some space for me to work.

"I know Chef, but I still wanted to ask for consent, I know kitchens are something of a place of importance for professionals like you." I complimented the chef that has been taking over us for years.

His name was actually Leonardo Jorten Rumsley. He takes his cooking very seriously and I honestly would count on him to make me a really nice home cooked meal, sometimes some of his dishes would remind me of home.

We rarely call him by his name because everyone around the kitchen already got used to calling him chef, so that's what I do too.

I laughed a little taking a hair tie over the wall as well as a clean unused apron.

Tying my blonde hair I joined him after I washed my hands.

"You flatter me, milady. Professional-? I am a cook only for your family. Now it seems will I be serving a new addition to the family after the young miss?" The chef raised his eyebrows a few times teasingly and I couldn't help containing my smile.

He was teasing that well... we might be getting a new family after Vivienne was really something to look forward too and I couldn't stop my lips for doing that stupid smile.

It seems that the chef notices it too and quickly drops his tools to do a slow motioned clap.

Clap...! Clap...!

"Would you look at that! Milady, you're on fire!" He started to laugh and I started to laugh by his side. "I mean- I'm... still in the process of making her part of the family if you know what I mean." I told him my heart felt a little full from talking about this.

It seems that the chef wasn't the only one listening to my story.

The maids were still in that one spot but soon they were called out by the head chef. He raised his knife but made sure that it was the backside of the blade, only to scare them a little. "Oy! Move you gossiping chicks! You think gossip is easy when you have work? Work while you gossip. Tch, women."

I looked at the chef forgetting that he's also gossiping with a woman too. He sighs, shaking his hand and then going back into the chopping board.

"No offense to women milady, I only said that to get their butts moving."

"Oh erm- none taken."
