Chapter 9

“Moritz, what are you thinking? I’m very curious…”

Lily fidgeted as if she was about to take off his shirt before dozing off.

“The more I look at it… What you’re doing is so cute, Lily.”

Moritz took her into the bathroom and slowly lowered her into the tub, where the servants prepared the hot water. And after he laid her body against the tub, he poured the rose petals from the little box next to it into the tub.

“Looking this way, Lily looks as innocent as her name.”

Lily’s pale flesh lying among bright red rose petals, bright and calm beige blonde hair, and pink cheeks. She looked much cleaner and purer than usual.

“I…I’m so sleepy. Moritz, hug me…”

Uttering so, she lifted her eyelids, which felt heavy with a gloomy face, laboriously.

“I’ll wash you, so get some sleep, Lily.”

It was a gentle voice, unlike before. Moritz spoke softly as he stroked her chest.

“Even in the midst of this, a pervert touching my breasts…”

“You like it.”

He quietly washed the sleeping Lily. Carrying her carefully, he laid her down on the bed, thinking that it would be a shame to kill such a cute creature.

Lily, who slept in the early evening, woke up early the next morning. Waking up from her sleep, she quickly looked around to find Moritz. Fortunately, he was by her side.

Seeing him sleeping next to her without a sound or movement, she felt more at ease.

“You… Even with your eyes closed, you’re really handsome. Make your Hollywood debut, Moritz.”

Lily muttered as she stroked his gorgeous hair. At that moment, Moritz lifted the corners of his lips slightly as if he had heard her in his sleep and smiled at her.

Knock, knock.

Their quiet morning was broken by a servant’s urgent knock.

“Master, His Majesty the Emperor has visited.”

Frowning at the sound of the harsh knock, Moritz turned his body to lie down when the servant even shouted loudly. He then placed his pillow over his head, covering his head and large shoulders.

“Why are you coming to someone else’s house since dawn, you madman…”

Muttering in a low-pitched voice, he had not yet woken up. The blonde Grand Duke, whom she thought his breathing and even the blink of his eyes were perfect, was a sleepyhead.

Cute.

Lily thought even his hoarse voice was sexy, and she smirked. However, realizing that she shouldn’t have been seen by the emperor, she hurriedly shook Moritz to wake him up.

“Wake up. Either way, he’s the Emperor, huh?”

“Huh…”

It was a voice that had sounded more like a breath than a sound, with no intention of getting up at all.

“But, where are my clothes?”

“I don’t know… Maybe, yesterday…on the spot where you took it off.”

He replied with a squeezed voice that didn’t come out properly.

At that, she came out of the bedroom as she kissed his forehead and wrapped a blanket around her. The place where she had taken off her clothes was the study. The clothes were in the study and hung up on a strange decoration on the table next to her.

After going to the study, Lily picked up the clothes neatly folded by the employees before returning to the bedroom.

In the meantime, Moritz sat on the bed wearing the underwear and pants prepared by the employees.

“Why did His Majesty come here?”

“Well, I guess he was just here to see how things are going.”

He answered so, though she knew for sure that it wasn’t the case.

He hadn’t even woken up from sleep, but they were close enough to visit the mansion for just such a thing. If it was for that reason, it was a bother, so he would have told Moritz to come to the palace and report directly.

The reason Matthias came here was very obvious.

Just like Lily has to depend on Moritz to connect with the Emperor. For Matthias, Moritz was the only link with Lily.

“Well, I decided to show you how to seduce the Emperor. Come here, Lily.”

Lily hesitated at Moritz’s gesture before she went and stood in front of him. Is he going to do something lewd to her again? Her heart was pounding.

“Closer.”

She squinted her eyes and glanced at him suspiciously before she took a step closer. The next moment, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him.

“Oh—!”

Losing her focus and staggering, he reached out his arm and lightly grabbed Lily’s body. He then pressed her against his body and crushed her.

“Like this.”

When he said ‘like this,’ he meant Lily’s chubby breasts, which were pressed against his firm body and gave a soft feel.

“Men are obvious, Lily. If your body touches them when you are a little bit interested in the other person, they are sure to get excited.”

As Moritz lowered his eyes and stared at her, his long eyelashes shadowed his dark green eyes. Lily, with her breasts crushed by his bare upper body, blushed her face and quickly escaped from his arms.

“Th, thank you…”

Answering in such a panic, she immediately regretted it. This was nothing she was grateful for.

‘Crazy… I must have been harassed, but I thanked him…’

“Try it today, because now seems like the best time.”

“Today…?”

Instead of answering, he pointed to the bedroom door with a chin and glanced Lily up and down.

“Follow me to the study. The atmosphere as if you did something lewd with me… Erase it.”

Puffy lips, disheveled hair, red cheeks, rough breathing. Isn’t this a good time to be misunderstood? Moritz shrugged his shoulders and then went out of the bedroom first.

Lily tidied her hair and her wrinkled clothes. Cooling her cold hand against her warm cheek, she glanced into the mirror in the corner of the bedroom and headed to her study.

“There is a guest at the mansion.”

When she arrived at the study, Moritz was just talking about her. As soon as the Emperor felt the sign of presence, he gazed for the guest with high anticipation.

Knowing that the guest Moritz was talking about was Lily, Matthias turned his head to avoid showing that he liked her.

Matthias, who had never met a woman, at this time didn’t give much thought to why Lily was here. He was satisfied that he had met Lily right now, since he thought he would only see her in the afternoon even if he begged Moritz.

“Good morning, Your Majesty the Emperor.”

As Lily entered the study, she greeted the Emperor. Although Matthias didn’t reply to her greetings, she didn’t really care.

She only thought, but how could she rub her breasts to the Emperor?

“Lily, please fold His Majesty’s shirt collar properly. It’s annoying to discuss politics with someone who can’t even wear clothes properly.”

She was startled by Moritz’s reckless remarks. She knew that the two weren’t very affectionate, although she never imagined it would be like that. Anyway, how could he say such a thing to the master of the country?

It was a moment when the numerous secondary characters, which were created with the nickname ‘Mathias’ Keeper,’ became pieces of trash.

Of course, it was a pleasure for her. She wouldn’t want to lose two handsome men.

“Thank you, Grand Duke Kneis. If I want to deal with people who come to Moonique everyday, I have to look upright.”

Saying so, Matthias turned his body to Lily. Matthias also did not accept Moritz’s outspoken remarks.

“Gasp…!”

Moritz, who had shot at her properly, closed his eyes and nodded his head with a bright smile. Even if she didn’t like Matthias, she had to admit that his jokes on a conversational level and his way of thinking fit him well.

“Excuse me, Your Majesty.”

Standing in front of Matthias, she stroked his lapels with her trembling hands.

Even though she was tidying the collar on the back of his neck, it was like she was hugging his neck. Lily did not miss this golden opportunity that Moritz had created. As her chest touched him, she softly crushed it with an innocent expression on her face that she knew nothing.

“It’s done… Kyaaak!”

Lilly, who was in a hurry to get out of Matthias’ arms in shame, shouted, trembling as he put his hand on her waist.

“Lily, Lily… No, that’s…”

Startled by her scream, he hastily released her waist. However, when he saw Lily lose her focus and fall, he quickly hugged her back.

“Lady, be careful—”

Thud.

Matthias, who had stumbled together in surprise, grabbed her and wrapped her in his arms as he fell to the floor with her.

“….”

Lily, unaware that he was holding her, reached out her hand to the floor to support herself as she fell. As a result, her hand was groping Matthias’ groin.
