[Alice’s side]

Alice woke up.

At the same time, the events of yesterday floated through her mind.

It was like a dream.

The man who had saved her from the brink of despair had defeated the Undead Nephilim with overwhelming strength.

He had black hair, brown eyes, and a foreign face.

A muscular body and fighting ability befitting a Class 5.
No, the way he fought, he was far stronger than a half-assed royal class 5.

And she was surprised at herself because she had used that magic to defeat that monster.

Alice was a Class 5 Magician, an expert of ice magic.
She had not achieved this through rigorous training or discipline, but rather through her excellent lineage.

But she didn’t like to use her magic.

When she was a child, Alice used that strong offensive magic to mortally wound the eldest son of a duke in order to save her sister’s life.
And the duke’s eldest son was still bedridden to this day.

In other words, if she used that magic, someone else would get hurt.
Driven by this thought, she had never used magic in front of others since that incident and had always practiced magic alone.

But when he said,

“Thank you for helping me.
It was wonderful magic.”

The words that Haruto said made her feel acknowledged.
She felt a sense of accomplishment for being able to help him.
She couldn’t stop grinning at the thought of her magic being used for the man of her dreams…

Alice, dressed in a disheveled nightgown, laid on her side in bed with her blue eyes moistening lusciously.
Then, even her huge marshmallows that have good elasticity changed their shape due to gravity.

Her mind was fully occupied with thoughts of Haruto.
She felt the languor of waking up gradually disappear due to a kind of weak electricity that ran through her body.

“Haruto…”

She called his name wistfully, remembering yesterday’s events.

The ice magic Alice used to trap the Undead Nephilim.
It was supposed to be so powerful that it would take a fire magician like Carol to break it.

However, Haruto summoned a huge weapon that radiated fire very robustly and pierced through her solid wall of ice with ease.

Without breaking a sweat…

“Hn!”

Alice’s body trembled.

Her cheeks turned cherry-red, and her beautiful blue eyes shimmered with longing for Haruto.

“Haruto’s back…”

Because of her sprained leg, Haruto carried her on his back.

The hard muscles of his broad, well-trained back.
Alice felt it as much as she wanted with her two precious marshmallows.
—No, it wasn’t even close to enough.
So she had asked,

“Please, let me stay like this… forever.”

Drunk on the pheromones, his muscular body touched hers, which had never been soiled.

And when he grabbed the back of her thighs, she felt a numbness that paralyzed her entire lower body.

Haruto…

Haruto…

She touched her innocence thinking of his muscular body that was overflowing with power…

“No! I shouldn’t!”

The feelings that were about to gush out, Alice had no way to control them.

She wanted to be married to Haruto.

If they were to get married, he would be able to claim the title of the Duke of Leinster.
And the Medici family’s vast wealth and authority would be his.
And she would be too…

If she were to marry someone else, that marriage would be nothing but a thorough business relationship.

But Haruto was different.

He was the man qualified enough to have everything of her.
Alice was well aware of this undeniable fact.

Alice had been proposed to by countless men.
Royalty, dukes, merchants, etc.
But without exception, they all had the same face as the men who wanted to violate her body.
The only role she had to carry in this society was to marry and give birth to an heir.

That’s why she was pessimistic that one day she would be forced to marry a man she didn’t like, forced to sleep with him, and forced to bear his children.

But now…

Alice’s position as the eldest daughter of the Medici family and Alice’s body as a woman wanted the same thing.

She wanted to be Haruto’s wife.

She wanted to be conceived by him.

And she wanted to give birth to his child.

Please… I will give everything to you… body, mind, authority, property, and love… everything…

So, please…

“Hn!!”

At that moment, the thread in Alice’s heart, which was fainting in agony on the bed, broke.

Alice’s breath hitched.

She rushed off the bed and stood in front of the mirror.

There was a female she had never seen before.

The female had those eyes that her mother sometimes showed her when she talked about Haruto.
Her blue eyes, which seemed to suck in something like a black hole, did not have the usual cold atmosphere but were longing for love, overflowing with pheromones.

“My Master Haruto-sama… please make me your slave…”

Alice muttered and looked at the 5,000 meso that Haruto had given her on the dressing table.

There would be a party for him in a week.

In other words, she could see him again.
The thought of it sent electricity through her entire body again.

“Have to pick some flowers for a bit…”

After letting out a sweet breath, Alice left her room.
It was still early for breakfast, but the servants were busy with their morning routine.

“Hey! Lindsey! After work, why don’t we go to the food stall that Haruto-sama is running? I want some tako-aki!”

“Elyse, the undead monsters just showed up, so we have to be more careful.
If something happens to Agnes-sama and the young ladies, we will be in trouble.”

“Uuu.
But I want to eat…”

Lindsey and Elyse, who protected Alice yesterday, were the same age as Alice, and were very good maids (although Elyse was a bit childish).

As these two were conversing while cleaning the finest carpets, Alice passed by.

“Good morning, Miss Alice.”

“Is your foot all right?”

“Good morning.
Thank you for your concern.
I cooled it down with magic yesterday, so it’s better now.
So I’m… fine.”

“Huh!”

“Hmm!”

Lindsey and Elyse were terrified.

The two of them had been serving her since she was a little girl, and that’s why they knew.
They knew what Alice’s expression meant.

It was the expression of a female laying bare her primal desire for a male.

These two knew very well the man who made Alice, also known as the Empress of the Frost, make such an expression.

There was no nobleman in this kingdom with such combined strength, intelligence, kindness, and humility as him.
Even if they were to run around the world searching, they did not know whether such a man even existed or not.

They came to this conclusion only because they had seen countless men approach Alice behind the scenes.

If Haruto-sama were to become a member of the Medici family, a new order would be created with Haruto-sama as its center.

This was one of the ideas that came out of the meeting that Agnes, Siesta, the head maid, and the girls attended last night.

It was true that this was only one of the ideas, but everyone who knew the history of the Medici family here was aware of it.

Haruto Takatori was a man that must not be allowed to escape.

Alice staggered a little as she made her way to the washroom.

But the two maids did not support her.

They knew why.

Because it was not a stagger caused by the pain in her leg.
