Chapter 16: Delicious Meal and Sweet Desserts

 

Inside was a huge concert as I heard harpsichord, violin, brass, and other instruments gently humming in my ears, and the party hall was filled with expensive-looking flowers, ornaments, and antiques.

The three of them ushered me to a table in the middle of the room with a relaxed demeanor and a smile on their faces. All around me, well-dressed maids were walking with elegance in their steps. It was a very gorgeous scene.

There was no way I could relax in such a luxurious place that looked like it belonged to royalty, as if it were my own home.

As I sat down on the chair I was led to, the three in dresses let out bewitching smiles to cover up their pale cherry-red cheeks and sat down on the other side of me.

The square table in front of me was set with forks, knives, spoons, and white plates. Soon several maids arrived and brought the food to our table. Their movements were graceful and lean. They must have had a lot of training.

“Thank you very much.”

“T-there is no need to! It is my pleasure to be able to see your majestic face, Haruto-sama.”

“Majestic face…?”

“For all of us who serve the Medici family, Haruto-sama has saved our lives, so to speak. Therefore, we will do our best with all our heart and soul.”

“You don’t have to worry about it. I am glad that all the servants are also safe.”

Hearing my words, several maids suddenly coughed and put down their dishes in silence.

“”Please excuse us.””

The maids who had finished their work walked away, pushing the wagon. And then, Alice, wearing a revealing blue dress, called my name.

“Haruto.”

“Yes?”

“You’re so nice to the maids.”

“Hm… It’s normal, right?”

I replied, scratching the back of my head, not knowing anything about the etiquette of this country. Then Alice squinted her two large eyes, put her hand on the edge of her mouth and moved her glossy pink lips.

“I think Haruto-sama would make a good master.”

“Me… a master?”

“Yes. A wonderful master who is kind to both maids and slaves.”

“S-slave?”

Why were we talking about slaves all of a sudden? The first time I looked at Alice with wide-open eyes, she breathed sweetly through her nose and shook her huge marshmallow a little.

A moment of silence passed.

But this silence was broken by Carol.

“Um… do you have any siblings, Haruto-sama?”

“I’m an only child.”

“Is that so…”

Carol stared at me with her mouth tightly closed. She had round eyes and a face that still looked young. However, her collarbone and two huge bulges made her attractive as a woman.

As I thought before, the keyword “younger sister” was the first thing that came to mind when I looked at Carol’s unyielding gestures. Then her sister Alice, clinged to her and they both stared at me.

“By the way, Alice and Carol are very close. I’ve been alone all my life. Looking at the two of you, I sometimes wish I had a sister like you.”

“!?”

“What’s wrong?”

“No, no! It’s nothing! I’m sure Haruto-sama will be a wonderful brother and prince!”

“Prince?”

I looked at Carol’s face and asked her what she thought of the word, but she pulled her mouth into a tight line again and stared at me with her ruby red eyes.

So cute, I couldn’t help but stare at her all the time.

I guessed it’s their personalities, but Alice and Carol’s gazes had an ineffable power. And of course, Agnes-san too.

I shook my head sideways and ate the food in front of me. Then, the three of them looked at me with warm smiles, as if observing me.

As we ate and talked, sometimes joking lightly, sometimes talking about the undead monster, my stomach began to grumble. The three of them were very sophisticated eaters, and I feared that they would be offended if they ate with me, who did not know much about upper class culture, but surprisingly, they were very kind to me.

I never thought they could be so beautiful and so kind…

I couldn’t help but feel like asking myself if I wanted to spend more time with these ladies.

The food was absolutely delicious. To be honest, as a person who preferred popular dishes such as takoyaki, okonomiyaki, and yakisoba, I was far from being associated with this kind of extravagant cuisine. But I knew the moment I tasted this dish that it was very high quality and made with the best ingredients.

“The food was really delicious.”

I thanked Agnes-san.

Then, Agnes-san,

“Fufu… tea time is still left for you.”

She replied to me in a s**y voice with narrowed eyes.

Soon after, the maids came and cleared away all the plates and carefully put down the three-tiered cake stand full of cakes and a set of tea. Then they walked away.

Blueberry cake, strawberry cake, and cheesecake, among others.

I looked at the fork on the table.

The fork seemed to be sharp, if I didn’t know any better.

“Haruto-sama, please have a cup of tea.”

“Oh, yes. I’m sorry. But you don’t have to.”

“No, I love tea and drink it every day. I pour it for my daughters and servants like this, so you don’t have to worry about it, Okay?”

“Is that so?”

“Please have it with the cake.”

“Yes.”

Agnes-san then picked up a sharp fork and stuck it into the cheesecake on the cake stand. Then she ate the tip of the side of the cheesecake.

“Haruto? Aren’t you going to eat it?”

“Ah, sorry. I’ll eat it.”

“And have some tea too!”

“Un.”

Alice and Carol offered to eat the strawberry cake and blueberry cake, and I started to eat them with some tea.

“Yum… It’s delicious.”

The three of them gave warm glances to each other and began to enjoy their respective cakes.

Silence again. But this silence was very comfortable. Eating delicious food with the most beautiful women and having cake and tea with them. I wondered if I was allowed to enjoy such luxury.

As I was thinking this, Agnes-san opened her mouth.

“Haruto-sama.”

“Yes.”

“Haruto-sama once told me that if I wanted to repay him, I should help others.”

“Yes, I did.”

“But there are no people of that caliber.”

“Huh? What do you mean…?”

“I fully understand your feelings, Haruto-sama, but I still…”

“Still…?”

“I want to give it all back to you, Haruto-sama.”

“?”

Her s**y voice echoed in my head.

“Without you, Haruto-sama, we would have lost everything. So I want to repay you with everything we have.”

“No… I…”

“You have the right, Haruto-sama.”

“Right?”

“Yes. The right to come and go freely in this house, the right to be treated with courtesy by my servants as a guest of honor, and the right…”

… What was this? …Agnes’s voice kept echoing in my head…

“The right to see Alice and Carol at any time…”

“……”

“We want to repay Haruto-sama with this right and with plenty of time with us.”

“Hah!”

I held my head as the three beautiful women in front of me stared at me.

As if they were absorbing me with their s**y eyes.

“Haruto, what’s wrong?”

“Why do you look so happy?”

“H-happy…?”

My head was very fuzzy right now, and I felt like the pheromones coming from them kept torturing my nose…

The voices of the three of them kept on echoing.

Was this happiness?

In my hazy consciousness, I saw blue, red, and emerald eyes shining with the light.

I was…

I lost consciousness with the mysterious pleasure that surged through me.

Black tea with cakes is the best combination.
