A Part
Lux’s Side
“The tea you both brewed had flavors that contrasted perfectly, and drinking them alternately gave me a kind of deliciousness I had never experienced before. It was truly enjoyable!”
“I am glad to hear that.”
“If Master is pleased, then that is all I could wish for!”
When I shared my impressions after drinking the tea they had prepared for me, both of them looked very happy.
Then, after a brief pause, Florence-san spoke.
“Well then, Lux-sama… Now that your body has warmed, shall we go to the bath together?”
“Eh!? T-together with Florence-san?”
“Yes. We bathed together once before, and I found that time very enjoyable, so I wished to invite you again tonight.”
To bathe with Florence-san again… Her words made me recall that time, and I could not help but remember it.
And then… the image of Florence-san’s alluring body rose in my mind, my face grew hot, and I quickly shook my head to drive the thought away.
Immediately after, Siana spoke.
“Please wait, Florence-sama! I cannot allow only a friend such as you to my master to go that far. As his attendant, I should be the one to accompany him in the bath.”
“Eh!?”
W-with Siana!?
…When I bathed with Siana before, if I remember correctly, she embraced me directly while wearing nothing at all…!
I-I must not remember such things!!
Just hearing the word “bath” together with Siana or Florence-san inevitably brings back those memories, but I tried desperately to shake them away.
“The connection between Lux-sama and me is far deeper than can be described as mere friendship, so there is no need to worry about that… Besides, it is only natural to attend to a guest’s needs.”
“That may be so, but for Florence-sama to bathe with my master while I am here as his attendant would not leave a good impression.”
“Just as with the ahhn from earlier, there is no one here but the three of us, so there is no need to worry about appearances…”
Their argument went on for quite some time… until finally.
“…”
I waited quietly, my heartbeat racing, as the two of them entered the bath where I was.
Siana’s Side
“I do not know what you were planning to do with Lux-kun by taking advantage of your own mansion’s bath, but… too bad for you, I will not let you have your way.”
As Siana spoke while undressing in the Duke Florence mansion’s changing room, Floria, undressing beside her, replied.
“You need not worry. I had no intention of doing the kind of things the Third Princess is imagining.”
“We will see about that.”
“As one who wishes to become Lux-sama’s wife, making him feel comfortable in the relaxing space of the bath is part of my duty. But I wonder if the Third Princess is capable of such things?”
“Of course I am.”
“Then I would like to take this opportunity to see for myself.”
With those words, the two of them undressed.
Siana held a towel to cover the private parts of her body, while Floria wrapped a bath towel around herself entirely.
“Third Princess, is that appearance of yours not overly stimulating for Lux-sama?”
“Is it? Well, if something like Florence’s body were to be seen by Lux-kun, that would indeed be a problem. In that sense, it is good that you are covering yourself with a towel.”
“I have considered Lux-sama’s state of mind and our relationship, and that is why I am dressed this way.”
Speaking like this, the two of them stood before the door to the bath where Lux was waiting, and Siana said.
“I will show you one reason why I am the one who should be united with Lux-kun, right here in this bath.”
“And I will show you one reason why I, not the Third Princess, am the one who should become Lux-sama’s wife.”
After declaring this to each other, the two opened the door and stepped into the bath where Lux was waiting.
