Reborn as the Princess' Knight (GL)

Chapter 72: Hero meeting (II).

Kein's POV

"I'll be meeting her in my study then, I'll be telling Alfred to welcome her with open arms." I told my father who was multitasking by talking to me as well as making sure he was trying his best to help Vivienne paint her little horsie on the canvas. "Avery Williams would be a good alliance if we need it."

Father held his chin and thought

"Avery Williams, that rings a bell now isn't it. The Hero that was summoned from here full of accomplishments for almost defeating the Demon Lord, I'm quite impressed you have her on your list of alliances." (Father) nodded proudly.

"Having a private audience with Kein?"

Not exactly a private audience... more like I need to hire her for my mission.

"Father, she wanted to be friends with me and I couldn't refuse. She was very... persistent about it." I told him and he seems to have bought my excuse. The real reason that I couldn't refuse her offer is that she knows too much.

She scanned me, and so much information that I didn't even know was displayed upon my eyes that day. Giving the promise that she won't do anything bad with my information I felt safe enough to trust Avery.

"In any case I'll meet her now. Please take care of Rose and Vivienne for my father while I'm gone." I was about to go out of the room when Rose pulled onto the end of my sleeve stopping me from my tracks.

"Can I come with you, Kein? I'm a bit familiar with the hero since we've had some talks with one another and she's helped my elder sister by bringing a wheelchair into our world." (Rose) explains.

"She was the one that brought that here?" I asked, Rose nodded in answer. Now I understand where the wheelchair Princess Cecilia uses came from. In that case I underestimated Avery and her good morals to help.

"Avery has already agreed to give the blueprints in exchange for keeping production public for anyone else who isn't able to support themselves." (Rose) smiles while taking my hand. "So I want to come with you to see her again. I haven't given her my thanks due to my father's orders for her venture to weaken the demon lord but-"

"No need to explain further, princess. We can meet her by the door. Father is already keeping himself busy looking so happy with Vivienne it's like we're not even here." I chuckled, noticing that they were almost halfway done with their painting, and the ones that we did before were almost dried.

I took off my apron and Rose did the same. "Let's go meet her then."

.-.-.-.-.

Rose covered her face with the red shawl from before, seeing so many busy servants in our estate but I could feel their curious stares looking over the beautiful figure beside me. Of course, the princess is clearly a beauty even with something covering her face.

Someone who doesn't understand her allure of mystery should rethink their choices of preference because Rose is clearly the best of the best.

"Hold on- did you see who was with milady?" One maid who was feather dusting a vase stopped to lean on her friend to whisper a question.

"I heard it was a private guest?" The said friend who was holding a broom seemed to just want to peacefully finish her chores but another maid followed. "Please when I walked by milady's room I could hear two voices coming out, perhaps it was them together all alone?"

"You're right- and didn't milady make breakfast in bed this morning? For her guest- quite a beauty might I add." They all continued to gossip with no shame. Perhaps I should consider telling the head maid of deducting their salaries if they continue to spout such things when I'm near.

"Please, you're all asking the wrong question. Is she really a guest or milady's fling in bed?"

...

"No way! You did not just say that."

"You all know what rumors surround Milady in the estate and her taste when it comes to preferences, the same as a sprivana would!"

"Still I've heard that if the lady ever had a fling, she wouldn't be as sweet as to make something as intimate as a breakfast in bed! Things must be serious between them."

The three stared at us more intensely and I could feel a nerve popping out of my head.

"A shame we can't see her face."

I couldn't take the gossiping anymore so I turned to them and yelled. "All of you-! Excuse me, we're literally not too far from your gossiping!"

"Eek! L-Let's go girls! Apologies milady but we'll have more chores to do."

They scurried off into the other hallway and I sighed tiringly. My face was a little bit red but thankfully they really can't see Rose's face.

"Quite the fun servants you have, do they always gossip this much even knowing that you're around?" (Rose) asks chuckling looking at the maid's running figures and I couldn't help but roll my eyes slightly. "If they ever knew you were dating someone of royalty, how priceless would you think the expression of their faces would be?"

I really didn't want to know.

If her face got leaked and the news got out that a princess had a small rendezvous at my place, rumors will spread that she's slept with a lowly knight like me who was personally assigned to her because I had help from my father.

"I don't want them to know, not when you're engaged at least."

Ugh... they'll be slapping dirt in our name.

"Milady perfect timing," (Alfred) just came into the corner of the hall and bowed in our direction. "I've let your guest in the property and she's being a little rowdy, I know her face and she's the rumored summoned hero of the kingdom. What are your orders?"

"There will be no orders for your Alfred because I'll be keeping her occupied talking about business matters upon my private study." Private business matters that concern the mission for the cure.

Rose nudges my sides. "M-Maybe the private study is not the best place to hold a meeting don't you think, dear?"

I tilted my head wondering why my private study wouldn't be a perfect place to hold a meeting and by the look of her embarrassed face- I got the message. The mess that we had from doing the dirty on that table and chair- the way she ate me up leaving several of my white liquid sticking on the surface hasn't been properly cleaned.

I coughed. 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m

"A-Ahem! Actually! I'll be having a meeting with the hero in another room." I told Alfred who was slightly surprised by the sudden change.

"Yes anywhere other than my study, I accidentally broke something in my study last time and I haven't cleaned it up yet." I lied, honestly I feel a little bad- I would talk to Alfred about what really happened at a later date and ask him to clean the room. "And it would be embarrassing if the hero would see such a mess."

Alfred bows and goes out to find another room fitting from my instruction.

Rose was just finding the whole thing a little funny, perhaps enjoying my embarrassed face when the room being unsanitary slipped out of my mind. "Next time we're not doing it anymore in my study. It'll be a one time thing-"

"How about a once in a month thing~?" (Rose) holds my arm, teasingly wrapping it around her breast and I gulp. She's doing it again! Not again! She's seducing me with those soft things I would like to hold all day!

Ugh even that is turning me into a degenerate. I must stay strong. I've been in the military for a short amount of time. Clearly two years is not enough to strengthen my will of temptation. "No-! My study requires to be clean at all times due to all the guests and-"

"Are you sure you don't want the thrill of someone pinning you down on your chair and eating you out on your table, legs spread wide?"

"..."

I thought about it through, her silver eyes glittered an amount of hope that I would say yes and I can't believe I'm actually thinking about it. "Maybe... let's just keep it a once in a three month kind of thing... I really need to keep my study clean, princess or you'll be making me want to retire early."

"How about if I make it the crown princess' decree to do it with me in your office once in a month? After all, being my personal knight you're responsible for handling my whole wellbeing."

"You're actually a succubus under your commoner light maiden disguise."

Rose kissed me on my cheek with her shawl and held my hand as we came to find the hero. Thankfully, Avery was just playing around in the corner with her huge- familiar in the front of the estate.

I was expecting a long goose chase thinking she got lost or anything like that but whew.

"Avery! You came!" I yelled over getting her attention but made sure to check on Rose if she was watching her steps walking down on the stairs. Thankfully it seems that it was only us around here.

Avery's eyes lit up happily seeing me and ordered her tiger familiar to stay in one spot before quickly running in a fast speed over to us. "I wouldn't miss an exciting adventure to help you on whatever it is you need help with buddy!"

"Buddy... we'll work on the nicknames." I smiled stiffly and turned to Rose. "And let me introduce you to the crown princess, Princess Rosarie Goldheart." I introduced Rose knowing that Avery here can just [Scan] her and everything there would be no point in hiding her real identity.

Rose curtsies a little, "Pleasure to see you hero."

"Ohhh yeah I know her we met just last year, pleasure to see you again your highness." (Avery) tries her best to imitate a curtsy but with her tight adventurer clothing it was sort of hard to do. "I can't believe you have a princess visiting over your estate, even other nobles around here don't have that kind of thing."

I won't tell Avery of my real relationship with Rose yet, maybe later when we're in a private room instead. "Well I'll explain more, for now how about you come inside so I can finally tell you the real reason why I wanted to hire you."
