Chapter 22
22
Early morning, I run around the circle for morning training, and then I spend the morning in the library learning aristocratic etiquette and extraordinary knowledge, without taking a lunch break, and directly practicing swordsmanship until evening.
With the “Revitalizing Potion” and various elixirs, I can maintain my high spirits almost all day and directly transform into the Viscount of Veszia!
However, even the Viscount has times of fatigue.
After finishing a day’s hard work, I eat dinner and then have my scarce relaxation time for the day.
“Ah~♂…… that’s it…… not bad, not bad, you’ve become quite skilled already.”
“Yes…… thank you, master, for your praise!”
I am lying on a soft bed in a bright bathroom, wearing only a pair of short pants, and enjoying Alice’s massage.
The little maid is wearing a white half-sleeved blouse, with her golden hair tied into a neat ponytail, and is currently sitting on top of me, disregarding her own sweat, breathing heavily, and using her white and delicate hands to apply a special oil to relieve fatigue, fully dedicated and meticulous in serving her master.
It’s said to be serving, but it’s pure and innocent serving, Alice is only massaging me!
Just this alone is enough to make me feel extremely comfortable.
Initially, Alice’s technique was a bit rough, but after training with Ana and gaining experience over these few days, the little maid has become completely familiar with every inch of my body, serving me with just the right amount of force, and paying attention to every inch of my skin!
Enjoying Alice’s service, I can’t help but express a soft and tender sentiment: “Having Alice is truly a happiness.”
“It’s fine if you like it,” Alice’s tone is light, but there’s a hint of delight.
“However, coming to massage every night is also quite tiring, isn’t it? I remember you also have Ana’s tutoring, don’t you?”
Alice never went to school and almost didn’t know how to read, in the original story, she was a person who secretly snuck into the library and slowly learned to read. The difficulty was like extracting light from darkness.
However, under my guidance, Ana will take out time every night to tutor Alice, and the maid herself is also happy to do so.
I feel a slight pause in the force on my back.
“It’s okay, as a servant of the master, this is nothing.”
“You’re the one who’s busy, master. Are you not tired lately? Not learning or exercising, but getting up before dawn and not even having time to drink afternoon tea. Are you pushing yourself too hard?”
“Hmm.” The force on my back increased.
Alice, who is usually quiet, suddenly becomes talkative when talking about herself.
I forced a smile: “There’s no way, people have to work hard.”
Say what you will, but mainly, there’s no electronic entertainment in this world, and I don’t have any friends. Moreover, compared to preparing for the high school entrance exam in my previous life, I’m not tired at all.
Plus, with the support of the elixirs led by Old Eight, I feel that I’m still going at a comfortable pace.
“I don’t want to spend my whole life as a useless villain, and besides, that noble is already so trusting of me, I won’t be able to say no to the effort.”
The image of Charlotte, the princess, flashed before my eyes once again.
That was the first time someone treated me with equality since I came to this world.
It’s not like the affectionate treatment from Karl and Ana, who are like seniors to me.
Charlotte, the princess, is actually treating me with an equal attitude, making a promise to support me.
Being friends with the queen has a sense of being under one’s wings, with neither the weight of royal duties nor the burden of high position, which is not a bad thing?
“Ah, it’s a pity that Charlotte couldn’t ascend to the throne, or Roy might have had a bit of a urge to serve her.”
Roy’s mind wandered, and he didn’t notice his mouth curling up or his sighs.
Everything was reflected in Elise’s eyes.
The master was thinking about Princess Charlotte again.
“Uh, Elise, can I ease up a bit?” Roy suddenly felt a slight discomfort in his back.
“!”
“Ah, sorry!”
“……Why are you apologizing while pulling even harder?” Roy’s eyes widened in surprise.
“……Sorry.”
Elise shook her head slightly, and her golden-hued ponytail swayed with it.
She emptied her mind and refocused on the massage.
Princess Charlotte was very beautiful, and her noble status made her a great match for the master… No, concentrate, concentrate!
Elise fixed her gaze on Roy’s back, calming her mind completely.
At first, Roy’s back was soft and pliable, but now it was clear that he had well-defined muscles, like a sculpture, exuding a sense of power.
She had witnessed Roy’s transformation with her own eyes and felt it with her own heart.
She enjoyed it. Not only did she relish the rare moments she spent alone with the master, but also the act of massage itself.
She placed the tip of her fingers on him, feeling the slight warmth of his skin. Then, she slid her fingers slightly, and the master would let out a soft sigh of pleasure. Next, she pressed her entire palm against him, applying gentle pressure, and the master’s breathing would become more labored.
Together, their breathing rose and fell, synchronized with her hand movements.
“Ha… Not good, this is too…!”
As Elise saw the master’s face relax into a look of bliss, her mood finally eased.
What’s the use of being a princess, anyway?
Only she, Elise, could satisfy the master’s physical needs.
———————————
After finishing the massage, Elise changed back into her maid’s uniform and returned to her room.
Anna had already lit the magical stone lamp, which illuminated the entire room, and was waiting for her.
“Let’s check the diary first, and I’ll take a look at your progress this week.” Anna smiled warmly.
Elise had almost mastered reading, and now it was time to focus on fluency. There was no better way to practice reading than through the diary.
“It’s fine.” Regardless of the time, Elise always approached tasks with seriousness.
From noble mtl dot come
Whether it was household chores or Roy’s personal matters, Elise always gave her best effort. Even without Roy’s care, this obedient, responsible, and diligent child had earned the affection of all the maids, including Anna.
So Anya also believed that mere academics were nothing to her.
Yet, when Anya opened her diary, her smile froze.
Date ×1
Today, I had cheesecake. It was delicious.
Date ×2
Today it rained. The rain was heavy.
Date ×3
The master started exercising.
Running so slowly.
Date ×4
The master brought out many potions.
I want to help the master too.
Starting today, I will learn massage.
Date ×5
The first massage.
I made the master very comfortable. I must work hard from now on.
I want to make the master even more comfortable.
“Sigh…” Anya was a bit overwhelmed.
“You could, actually, write a bit more content.” Anya said rather tactfully.
Alice nodded earnestly: “I asked the other seniors, and they said the same.”
“Look at the back, I wrote a lot more later on.”
Anya flipped further, and then she was utterly silenced.
Date ×11
Today, I woke up in the morning. Prepared a towel and flower tea for the master. Step one, boil water. Step two, get a clean towel from the seniors. Step three, slap the tea leaves into the water. Step four, wait. Step five…
Anya silently closed the diary.
She pondered, a diary automatically written by those wound-up dolls would be just like this.
Setting aside some strange content, isn’t this diary written too emotionlessly?!
“A diary isn’t written like this. Alice, you could write a bit more, um, about your inner thoughts.”
Hearing this, Alice tilted her head in confusion.
