Chapter 34: Sleeping Together (1)

That evening.

“Ugh. I’m bored. Isn’t there anything else to do?”

Yona closed the picture book she was reading and sighed. She sat on the bed and wiggled her small feet.

“What to do?”

“What do you mean what? It’s time to sleep now. You have to sleep.”

“But, it’s boring to just sleep like this.”

She shook her head at the maid’s words to hurry up and sleep.

She can play again when she wakes up, but she didn’t want to.

She had been very sick as a child, and had been on the verge of death several times until just a few weeks ago.

At that time, Yona understood death at a young age, and felt how futile death was.

Because the Muelia Duchy, which was said to be so powerful, and her father and sister, could not cure her.

So every day was precious.

What if I fall asleep today and can’t open my eyes tomorrow? The thought is implicitly working.

Even though I know that I will not die tomorrow.

That’s how much the experience of death at a young age came to her.

“Then, shall I borrow another picture book?”

“Ugh. No.”

“Hmm. Oh! Then how about sleeping with Miss Emily for the first time in a while? You used to sleep well until you got sick.”

Yona’s eyes sparkled at those words.

She trembled at the thought of being able to sleep with Emily for the first time in a while. Although it’s not a great fun, she feels good when she’s with her sister.

She doesn’t have nightmares when she sleeps while smelling her sister’s scent.

But she soon became depressed.

“She said she’s very busy these days because of that territory war. It probably won’t work, right?”

There were several times when I tried to sleep with Emily after my body was completely healed. But she was rejected because she had a lot of work to do because of the territory war.

‘Sister seemed to be very disappointed, too.’

It’s obvious that she will be rejected this time too.

Unlike herself, who plays and eats every day, her sister is competent and has a lot of work to do.

“Hmm. I heard that the work of the territory war is almost over. How about going first?”

“Really? Really?”

“Yes. Of course.”

“Hehe. Okay. Let’s go!”

She buried her face in the blanket and fluttered. A smile bloomed with anticipation.

She soon put on a cardigan with warming magic engraved on it.

“Let’s go together!”

The maid followed behind with a skirt in her hand.

When I went out to the first floor, a knight in full armor bowed his head.

The maid explained the situation to them.

“I understand. Leave it to us.”

“Thank you. Knights.”

The knights began to spread out in all directions to escort Yona. Of course, Yona couldn’t see it.

“Hmm. Hehehe. Hmm~”

Yona hummed. Her shoulders rose to the left and right because she was very excited.

So, I arrived at Emily’s mansion while breathing in the cool night air. I passed the first floor and went straight to Emily’s room.

“Ahem.”

Knock, knock!

“Who is it?”

“Sister. It’s Yona!”

After a while.

Creak.

Emily, who was soaked in fatigue, came out and opened the visit. She glanced at Yona and put her hand in her armpit and hugged her.

“Let’s go in first.”

“Woong!”

After bringing Yona inside, she closed the door.

“So why did you come here this late at night?”

She rubbed Yona’s cheeks.

Emily was under a lot of stress because she had a lot of work today. She started to heal by holding Yona’s cheeks and moving them around.

Yona hugged her, enjoying Emily’s touch.

“Let’s sleep together today.”

“Today?”

“Yes!”

“Hmm.”

Emily sighed, looking at the documents scattered on the desk. If possible, I wanted to sleep with Yona like before, but it’s impossible.

Because I had too much work today.

Emily stroked Yona’s head, who was full of anticipation.

“Yona.”

“Woong?”

Eyes full of anticipation. Emily felt sorry that she had to betray that expectation.

But there’s nothing I can do.

This matter is as important as the territory war.

“I don’t think I can because I have a lot of work to do now.”

“Why?”
“Someone belonging to the family caused an accident and I have to clean it up. I think I’ll have time next week, so let’s sleep next week.”

“Ugh. I understand, sister.”

She expressed her dislike with her whole body, but she can’t harm Emily.

Yona stood in front of the door, taking heavy steps.

“See you tomorrow, sister.”

“Sleep well. Have a good dream. I love you.”

Emily kissed Yona’s forehead, who was disappointed, and saw her off to the front of the mansion.

So she went out.

Left alone, Emily turned her head as she returned to her room.

“The elders, really. Sigh.”

She sat in front of the desk and began to process the documents.

The movements of the elders, who had been quiet recently, are unusual. I felt it since last time, so I’m constantly gathering information, but it’s not easy.

“It’s already been three weeks.”

Until Yona got sick, I slept with her once a week.

I thought I could sleep with her after Yona was all better, but the territory war broke out and I had a lot of work to do.

The main tasks were to find the right justification and to handle things cleanly.

Of course, all of this was for my only friend, Rachel, so I did it with fun.

From time to time, I had tea with her and chatted. Every time was fun.

But this is not the case.

The elders, who usually showed ambition to devour the family, are showing suspicious movements.

In other words, the current situation happened because of the elders she hates.

And until I figure out their tricks, I can’t rest.

“Sigh.”

Emily tried to control her rising anger and worked hard.

Prepare a trap to strangle the elders, and gather information.

It was a bonus that the anger towards them deepened.

“Oh? Miss Yona? Aren’t you going to sleep with Miss Emily?”

“Yeah. Sister said she’s busy, so she can’t.”

“Oh dear.”

The maid looked at Yona, who came out helplessly, with a pitiful expression.

But there was nothing she could do as a maid.

Just comfort Yona well and be by her side so she can sleep comfortably.

The two headed to the mansion.

“Don’t blame Miss Emily too much. Miss Emily will be very sad too.”

“I know. I don’t blame my sister. It’s all because my sister is busy.”

Yona answered in a nasal voice. Her eyes entered the library with her complicated heart.

At the same time, a person related to the library came to mind.

“Rachel… sister?”

“Yes? Are you talking about Baronet Rachel?”

“No, no. Let’s go to sister Rachel! I want to sleep with sister Rachel!”

“What?!”

The maid was horrified by Yona’s words.

Of course.

No matter how close Yona and Rachel are, they are completely unrelated.

Since Yona, who is receiving the most love in the current Duchy, was hurt even a little bit on her hair, not only Rachel but also the maid and the guards would lose their heads.

Of course, I know that Rachel wouldn’t do that, but you never know.

You can know the depths of a thousand fathoms of water, but you can’t know the depths of a person’s heart.

The maid desperately stopped her. But soon, with tears in her eyes.

“Hmph. Really… can’t I?”

The thought of a tearful Yona disappeared.

‘So cute!’

She was so cute even to herself, who had to assist her.

The maid thought desperately.

If I refuse here, the tears in her eyes will fall. It’s not the virtue of a maid to make the master she serves cry. Right?

And most of all, there are knights. If Rachel has a bad heart, they’ll stop her right away.

In fact, the knights who escort Yona were top-notch, so it was possible.

“Ahem. Well, shall we do that only for today?”

“Yes!”

Yona hugged the maid’s leg. The maid, who had a smile on her lips, headed to Rachel’s house.

It wasn’t far from the library, so it was close.

“Here we are.”

The lights were on in Rachel’s room. Fortunately, she wasn’t sleeping.

“Then go in. I’ll be waiting in front, so I’ll leave when the lights go out.”

Yona knocked on the door.

Unlike the maid who came out of Emily’s house, Rachel came out herself.

“Who is it?”

Creak.

The door opened, and Rachel’s eyes widened when she saw Yona.

“What are you doing here? Miss Yona?”

I used honorifics because there were other people.

Yona said brightly.

“I’m going to sleep with you, sister!”

“Yes?”

“I was going to sleep with Emily, but she said she was busy and couldn’t. So I came to you, sister.”

“Sleep together?”

“Can’t I?”

Rachel’s eyes shook in confusion.

She knows too.

How dangerous this act is now.

So when I looked at the maid, the maid also nodded.

‘Was it agreed in advance?’

Rachel thought so.

Because the maid nodded.

“Okay. I was about to go to bed too. Come in.”

I picked up Yona and brought her into the house.

“What about the maid?”

“I’ll be on my way. Please have a good night. Miss. Baronet Rachel? Please take good care of our Miss.”

“Don’t worry.”

“Good night! Sister maid! You sleep well too!”

Yona waved her hand excitedly.

Rachel closed the door after confirming that she was out of sight.

So the completely unexpected cohabitation of Rachel and Yona began.
