A few hours later I was laying exhausted on the couch after finishing the fourth of the homework that I planned to do.
Camille, we arent even half done yet you know?
Uuu I cant, anymore.
In various meanings My emotions cant endure. Raising my head from the sofa and turning my neck, BAKIBAKI sounds ring out.
Cant be helped, huhh.
Achille chuckled to himself, and sat right next to where I was laying down.
Mn
I felt a comfortable pressure on my neck then on my shoulders too.
How stiff. Even though you hardly did any work.
It seems that Achille is giving me a massage. Together with a needless comment.
I was reading a magic book after all. Phewww-
Ahhh, feels good. To Achille whos great at everything, massages are no exception.
Youre like an old man.
I decided to try my best to shut up. I feel that being called an old man by your own fianc is pretty bad too, after all.
Hey Camille, does it feel good?
In a sweet voice overflowing with amour, Achille whispered to me.
Mn It feels goood.
It feels so good that Im about to fall asleep. Even though theres still more than half of the Homework Youll Do Today that Achille gave me to do.
Ah-, oh yeah, Achille
Mn, whaat?
Only now do I remember the rumours about the revolution end that Aurelia talked about. He might just tell me that Im exaggerating, but I decide to tell Achille.
You know, it seems that recently amongst the commoners theres an anti-noble movement appearing. An institution that does nothing but ignoring the circumstances of the commoners, and fighting amongst themselves is unnecessary they say.
Aahh, youre talking about how theres been stuff like huge numbers of torches being thrown into nobles estates, or noble girls being assaulted when they go out?
-, yeah.
It seems that Achille knows about it too. Moreover, in greater detail than me
Its kind of been on my mind. It couldnt be a revolution or something, could it?
I spoke while feigning indifference, but Im actually worried about if theres preparations for a revolution going on somewhere, or maybe the actions of those extremists will escalate and becomelinked to a revolution.
Camille.
Achille stroked my head soothingly.
Certainly its difficult to say that the situation in the castle is normal Outside of the conflict between the King Faction and the Royal Prince faction, the knights will struggle for achievements and wont do their jobs properly, or the bureaucrats are afraid of stepping on anyones tails so in self-protection they wont give the go ahead for various important ventures. The reason that we had trouble getting permission to access the forbidden areas of the archives are also because of that.
Eh-, really? The permission for the forbidden magic books was because of that too?
I dont really know much about the soldiers struggling for achievements, but the issue of the forbidden magic books was just recently.
At that rate theyd just pretend that it didnt happen, so I forced it.
So it was because of your efforts that we got permission.
I didnt know. That he went and got us permission.
Um, Achille Thanks.
If its thanking me, theres no need, you know? I wanted to see the forbidden magic books too after all
Even so, its because you got us permission that I could remove the forbidden magic on Claire, you know?
-, Camille!
Uwoa-?
The place I was lying down on suddenly overturned becauseof Achille. Achille who was sitting next to me was now blanketing me.
Eh-, ah-, Achille? Achille-san?
Its because you said something so cute, Camille.
Chuckling while letting out an amorous atmosphere, Achille buried his face in my nape. Uwah, uwah, what do I do? What do I do? I can feel his breath at the bottom of my neck, and its really ticklish.
Achi--,
Suddenly, I could feel a light pain on my neck.
That hurts What are you doing!?
However, Achille who had raised his head paid me no heed, and smiled in satisfaction.
Camille, because the commoners are moving, you might be worried for Royce-sama, but dont do anything rash Youre a noble too, after all.
Its okay. I can use heaps of magic after all, and I have my magic tattoos too Huh? How come even though I have my magic tattoos, I could feel pain on my neck?
Isnt it because the magic tattoos didnt determine it as harm?
Is that how it is?
It seems that there are a number of ways to get around it, huh Its because there are things like this too, that I think itd be better if you didnt overestimate yourself.
Y-, Yeah By the way, just now, what on earth did you do to me?
Achille just smirked and didnt tell me.
I think youll find out at night.
That night, when I saw the nape of my neck in the bathroom mirror, I turned red and let out a scream.
