I Became the Maid of the Lout Prince

T/N: This bonus chapter is sponsored by Soothsayer (3/10). Apologies for the delay! Lots of stuff happening recently.

When I opened my eyes after briefly closing them while lying in bed clutching my pounding heart, the scenery outside the window had changed from the dark night sky to a blue, sunny morning sky.

Checking the hourglass, it was around 6:30 in the morning.

I remember having trouble falling asleep because my heart was pounding so much, but it seems I ended up sleeping soundly as usual once I did fall asleep.

‘So morning has come, after all.’

Thump, thump, thump.

When I thought about what I had to do today—something quite different from my usual exclusive maid duties—my heart started racing madly.

It would be my first experience of intimacy since birth, or more precisely, my first experience in two lives since I died as a virgin in my previous life.

I wondered if my heart would have pounded this much if I’d had the chance to be intimate with a woman when I was a man. I could only cautiously guess that it probably wouldn’t have been this intense.

But I couldn’t run away now. It would be too shameless to make Ethan go through all that trouble and only run away myself.

So I had no choice but to accept it as calmly as possible, as if it were nothing special. 

If we were going to do it anyway, it would be better to do it before the semester started to avoid any potential complications.

‘I heard the first time… can be quite painful.’

It should be… fine, right? After all, my partner is Ethan.

While they say breaking the hymen hurts, that mainly occurs when proper foreplay isn’t done. It shouldn’t apply to Ethan and me, who had already shared dozens of intimate moments with ‘foreplay’ alone.

If we took enough time to prepare, it probably wouldn’t hurt that much. …Probably.

‘…I’m a bit nervous.’

We’ll prepare thoroughly before doing it, but… isn’t there a way to make it hurt less?

It wasn’t that I was afraid of the pain, but first times are just like that. Wanting to make it a good memory is an instinct shared by women worldwide.

And the size of Ethan’s thing was… also somewhat concerning. No matter how well we prepared, something that size entered my body couldn’t possibly be painless.

‘What if I took the initiative instead…?’

Wouldn’t it be better if I were the one in control than be led by him?

If I could move on my own, the situation might be a bit better. At least I wouldn’t have to endure continued thrusting while in pain.

Having reached this conclusion in my mind, I quickly got up from bed and changed into my maid uniform. 

As they say, strike while the iron is hot—it’s better to do these things quickly once you’ve made up your mind.

The same morning, in Ethan’s bedroom…

“…So it’s morning, after all.”

The only son of the Blackwood family, who had spent the night almost entirely awake, muttered emptily while lying in bed.

“To think I couldn’t even sleep because my heart was pounding over thinking about my first time, what am I, a child…?”

Even he found it ridiculous how trivial the reason for his insomnia was.

Of course, there were mitigating circumstances since his partner for this first experience was his first love whom he’d had a crush on since he was very young, but it was still a somewhat embarrassing reason to admit to others.

He was starting to think that maybe he should have just done it last night if he knew this would happen. His plan to rest for a day and recover his condition before embracing Lilith had already gone awry.

Additionally, he had made some date plans since it would be their first time together, but given his physical condition, it seemed better to just rest at the mansion today. He needed to rest now if he wanted to recover enough stamina by evening to go through with their plans.

He figured he could catch some sleep now and tell Lilith when she came to wake him up. Or perhaps the perceptive Lilith would see him sleeping deeply and let him rest longer on her own.

Just as he was about to try sleeping with these thoughts, he heard a familiar voice at his door along with several knocks.

Knock, knock, knock.

“Young Master Ethan, it’s Lilith.”

“…Yes, come in.”

Creeak.

Though he found it slightly strange that Lilith was visiting about an hour earlier than usual, Ethan didn’t mind too much.

He had already decided to spend the day resting in bed anyway, so it was better to let her know this fact as soon as possible.

“You’re up early, Young Master Ethan.”

“…Yes, somehow.”

Ethan couldn’t bring himself to admit that he had stayed up all night. Saying that would be tantamount to indirectly confessing how much he had been anticipating their first time together today.

He could have honestly said it if it were any other maid, but he just couldn’t bring himself to tell the truth to the woman he had feelings for.

“Um, Lilith.”

“Yes, Young Master Ethan.”

“…I’m thinking of sleeping in a bit more today because I’m tired. Could you tell the kitchen to skip my breakfast?”

“…Ah, you don’t need to worry about that, I’ve already taken care of it.”

“Ah, I see. As expected of Lilith… huh?”

While Ethan was still processing the strangeness of Lilith having already conveyed the message he had just thought of this morning, his exclusive maid brazenly began to undress while continuing to speak.

“And… you don’t need to worry, no other maids or servants will enter the room for about four hours.”

Rustle.

“W-Wait, Lilith?!”

“Yes, Young Master Ethan.”

“Wh-What are you doing? Why are you suddenly taking off your clothes…?”

“Well, what do you think?”

“……”

The answer to why she was doing this was… too obvious to respond to.

He couldn’t possibly not know, since it was the same reason he had desperately fought in the duel against his father.

“You know very well what young men and women might do alone in a room with their clothes off, don’t you, Young Master Ethan?”

“But it’s still morning, Lilith. Usually, these things are done in the evening or at night…”

“It’s the morning after you’ve had plenty of rest, young master. I believe you’ve sufficiently recovered from yesterday’s duel with the master during the night.”

“……”

Unfortunately, he hadn’t recovered at all.

If anything, he was even experiencing some muscle pain. Muscle fatigue typically sets in more seriously several hours after the activity rather than during the moment of exertion.

However, either knowing or ignoring his condition, Lilith calmly removed her maid uniform and quickly stood in just her underwear.

“How is it, Young Master Ethan?”

“How is… what?”

“My attire. Isn’t it a bit different from usual?”

“……”

Indeed, Lilith was wearing underwear quite different from her usual style.

While she was wearing black underwear matching her stockings as usual, the design of the underwear was considerably different.

Instead of the plain black underwear provided by the mansion to the maids, it was adorned with lace embroidery that made it look somewhat erotic… no, somewhat more elegant.

“I-It is a bit different. Wh-When did you buy such underwear?”

“I made it myself. It wasn’t as difficult as I thought once I tried.”

“Y-You made it yourself…? You m-made that…?”

“Yes. I thought there might be an occasion to use it someday. And it seemed that today was that day, so I wore it for this moment, Young Master Ethan. You could call it battle lingerie of sorts.”

“Battle lingerie…?”

Lilith smiled at him nonchalantly, as if asking if he liked it.

Her slightly roughly knitted underwear seemed almost deliberately designed to be somewhat see-through, making her appearance in underwear feel even more erotic than if she were naked.

“……”

Gulp.

“I’m glad you seem to like it.”

Ethan’s heart started pounding like a carriage tumbling off a cliff as Lilith responded with a smile and a reddened face.

It was a dream-like moment he had imagined since he was very young. Despite his intense fatigue, Ethan’s body automatically responded to Lilith showing such beautiful yet erotic gestures before him.

“Um, Lilith.”

“Yes, Young Master Ethan.”

“Are we really going to do it now?”

“Are you thinking of running away after making me embarrass myself this much, Young Master Ethan?”

“…I didn’t say anything, you just started undressing on your own.”

“But since you didn’t stop me, that means you potentially agreed to it, Young Master Ethan.”

“……”

He had simply missed the timing to stop her because he was flustered by the unexpectedly bold underwear she wore, but Ethan couldn’t bring himself to argue back as it seemed too pathetic to say such things out loud.

“Lilith, I feel a bit bad saying this after you’ve come this far.”

“……”

“As I said earlier, I’m tired and was thinking of sleeping more. So could you please wait until evening if possible?”

“It’s fine, Young Master Ethan. You can just lie still, and I’ll take care of everything.”

“No, that’s not the issue…”

Swoosh!

“And unlike you, Young Master Ethan, your ‘young master’ seems to have a different opinion.”

“……”

Ethan’s lower body expressed its feelings while quietly rising beneath the blanket that Lilith had mercilessly pulled away.

Having been caught with evidence that his desire had overcome his fatigue, Ethan couldn’t bring himself to refuse Lilith’s touch on his body.
