I had no right to hold him, he has total freedom except for the contracted period. In this case, he didn’t even have to come until the heat cools down.

“…I did not know Ojou-sama had thought that highly of me.”

As if poking fun at me, Dean smiled. Even though I was serious.

“Of course. Or else I wouldn’t have trusted you with this job.”

Dean smiled at the words I had sighed out.

“Ma~…certainly, so far if you talk about my work, I had never had a hard time that I had to hit something against a wall.”

Simply saying big things like that is… just like Dean. Rather, I’m the one thinking that might be so if it’s him.

“……but, that itself is very boring whether it’s studying or exercising isn’t that right? To bump into something and then overcoming it, you will get a sense of accomplishment. Enjoying something has nothing to do with interest or emotional attachment.”

Resetting myself, I was convinced that certainly, that was true. Even in my past life, when I had accomplished something difficult, I felt the sense of accomplishment. …though I don’t know why he would tell me this now.

“……but, when I came here, I had my share of fun. The fresh ideas brought by Ojou-sama that I can never think of, and to work beside the talented servants who were all under Ojou-sama. To begin reforming the fief and cleaning it up. It has been a long time since I had thought about what should I do next and wonder what will come out next. For that reason, it is interesting.”

From the door, he walked step by step, closer to my desk.

“That is why I came here. Though I had previously planned to work here for only a while, my legs unconsciously bring me here.”

I looked up at him as he towered over me. (TL:I’m dying Help!-見上げるような形) He had an expression that tells me he is having fun.

“It is not impossible that Ojou-sama doesn’t trust me. I, myself, can only sign a temporary contract and Ojou-sama has her trustworthy servants who had all been with you since childhood.

It is true that I trust them. No…if you exclude Otou-sama (Father) and Okaa-sama (Mother), you can say I “only” trust them.

“I can’t ask you to treat me the same level of them. They had spent and lived with you far longer than I have. But, Ojou-sama. I truly, from the bottom of my heart, enjoy being your hands and feet. Even when the contract ends.”

“……Dean…”

“You don’t need to hold back. I am only serving you for a while but…I am already, MiLady, yours.”

My face grew warm when he said those words. Even though it was always me who says these confession-like scouting words. When the positions are flipped around, it became embarrassing.

Dean had said what he wanted to say and left the room.

Left behind, for a while, I sat dumbfounded.

What are you talking about Dean? You can sign a permanent [marriage] contract ya know? I’m pretty sure everyone here wants that too (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
