You feel a chill around your face and slowly open your eyes. The room is still dimly lit, as if it is just before dawn.
You take a deep breath in slowly, and the breath you let out is white. It is that cold in this room.
Slowly you cover your face with the blanket. Now you should be able to sleep a little longer. ....... In contrast to the coldness of the room, your body is enveloped in a subtle warmth. It is very comfortable. I want to sleep a little longer with this feeling. .......
At that moment, I felt something strong embracing me.
"Vieille......"
I hear a man's voice in my ear. You can't help but smile at the sound of his voice, but you don't dare say anything and pretend to be asleep.
"Vieille ...... Vieille ...... Vieille."
The man is probably still half asleep. Nevertheless, his hands slowly begin to crawl over his body.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh. ......"
I couldn't help but let out a laugh. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I told myself.
Sleeping in bed was Vieille. She is naked and wrapped in a blanket. Behind her, also naked and without a stitch of clothing, there was a man with his left hand outstretched to her and his right hand holding her body in his arms.
The man's hand slowly strokes her body.
"Beautiful skin ....... It's like silk ......"
"All you do is lie. ......"
"It's true. ......"
The man's hands never stop. But Vieille slowly grabbed the man's hand and made him stop moving.
"You can't go any further, sir."
"Why ......"
"I'm still going to bed."
"I can't stand it. ......"
"Well, can you do me one favor?"
"Yes, I'll do anything."
"Please send all the queens ...... away."
"What?"
"As long as you ladies are here, I will never be your best woman."
"I love you more than anything in the world."
I have heard you say that many times. Now please show me the proof.
"Okay. I'll do whatever you want. I'll do whatever you want.
"Thank you very much. ...... cah!"
The next thing she knew, a man was leaning over her. He was staring at Vieille's face and muttering to her as if he were gasping.
"This breast, this body ....... All mine. I can't live without you. ......
Skinny, gaunt cheeks ....... and dark shadows under his eyes. The man was Rinos, king of ...... Agartha. Vieille smiles at him with a big smile on her face.
"Vieille......"
Linos' lips are pressed all over Vieille's body. Vieille was filled with an indescribable feeling of satisfaction, both ticklish and pleasant.
......Now everything is mine. Everything will be mine.
"Uh-huh, ah-huh, ah-huh."
Unable to contain the joy that wells up from the bottom of her heart, she bursts out laughing. She then puts her hands behind Rinos' back. He impatiently rubs Vieille's body as if he couldn't hold back any longer.
"Oh... ......"
Linos shouts in surprise. Seeing the look of surprise on his face, Vieille slowly leans over Rinos and covers him. It was as if she was holding Linos down from above.
"Vi......Vieille......"
Linos' expression as if he was pleading for something: ....... Vieille nodded his head in satisfaction as he looked at the pitiful expression on his face.
......That's the way to look out over the world from a horse. I am the only one who sees what even my grandfather could not see.
I've finally surpassed my grandfather. I've finally surpassed him. ....... This thought filled her heart with an indescribable sense of fulfillment. She slowly closes her eyes.......
"Dear Vieille, ......"
Suddenly I hear a woman's voice. You open your eyes, startled, to see a woman with a worried look on her face. I see a familiar sight ....... It seems that I am in my own bedroom.
"Mr. Vieille,...... are you awake?"
A woman with a look of sincere relief on her face. This woman is one of the servants who always help me to get ready. I can't remember her name: .......
A voice leaks out. There was an indescribable weariness. But it was different from the usual. There is a sense of satisfaction from a good night's sleep.
I sit up slowly. Linos, who was supposed to be sleeping next to me, is already gone.
"......Where is Mr. Rinos?"
"Huh? I'm sorry, what did you say ......?"
"Mr. Linos, ......"
"Um... ....... Are you the King of Agartha ......?"
"......"
I look around slowly. Brilliant sunlight streams in through the windows. The bedroom is as it always is, beautifully arranged and tidy.
...... dream?
A sense of malaise still pervades my body. I am thirsty. She was about to say "water......" when a glass of water was held out in front of her.
"......"
He takes it silently and gulps it down. The cold water quenches my throat.
"...... delicious."
Thank you very much. We were really worried when you didn't wake up.
The woman looks as if she is about to cry. That's right. She stopped by the university on her way back from a trip to Agartha. There, Meilias gave her a quick checkup. And he pointed out that she was not getting enough sleep. .......
"I think you will have a good night's rest if you take these pills."
With a gentle smile, Meilias handed him a small paper package.
To be honest, Vieille did not trust the efficacy of the medicine Meilias offered. She herself had tried in every way to find a potion that would help her sleep. But none of them worked.
She had one habit. Once she concentrated deeply, she could not fall asleep. This had its advantages for her, but the deterioration of her physical condition caused by the continuous sleeplessness was a double-edged blade.
I am sure this medicine will not work either. ....... With this thought in mind, Vieille was skeptical when she took a sip of Meilias' medicine, but it seems she slept more soundly than she expected.
What time is it?
"It is 11:25, sir."
"Eleven o'clock?"
That's over 12 hours of sleep: ....... It was safe to say that she had never slept this many hours in her life.
I slowly sit up and get out of bed. She feels dizzy, probably from the medication.
"You're in trouble!"
The maid of honor unexpectedly takes Vieille's arm to support her. At that moment, she looks aghast and reverently awe-struck.
"I beg your pardon.
No, it's fine. Thank you.
Saying this, Vieille heads for the bathtub. There, the bathtub was ready for her to take a bath at any time. She bathes there as usual, and then polishes her skin with cold water.
"......"
Vieille gasped when she looked at her reflection in the mirror. It was as if her skin was glowing white. For a moment she admired her reflection.
When Vieille came out of the bathtub, the maid of honor froze, her eyes wide open.
"Could you prepare my underwear for me?"
"What? Oh, yes,...... excuse me,......."
With her face turning red, the maid of honor leaves the room. Then, wearing the underwear and costume provided, Vieille stands in front of the mirror again.
"Beautiful ......"
Behind you, you hear the voice of a maid.
"What is your name?"
The maid of honor shudders for a moment as Vieille speaks to her through the mirror.
You are the one who is cleaning this room, aren't you? It would be rude not to know the name of the person who keeps the place so clean. Please tell us your name."
"My name is Sariella from ......."
"You must be Saliera. I look forward to working with you in the future.
"I'm in awe of ......."
Saliera bows her head, her face bright red. I wonder what would happen if men saw this skin while looking at her in the mirror. I am sure they would all gasp.
These thoughts made her feel hungry. Vieille leaves the room and goes to her office. There, today, I will have a meal and think about the future. .......
Somehow, though, she had a feeling that something good would happen today. .......
