“LYLE HERE, sorry that I’m always out and I couldn’t entertain you because I was busy doing this and that. Oh well let’s just begin….. *Ahem* mic test! mic test! *Ahem* recording starts on…)
I woke up in the middle of the night. I looked around to survey my surrounding and noticed that I was back in my room.
Wondering why, I search through my memories to see if there is something I can remember.
‘Oh right, I fought with Uncle Gil!’
Remembering what happened a while ago, I felt somewhat happy. Executing the skills I remember from my past life has made me feel nostalgic. Although it felt satisfying I also felt depressed at the same time
‘*sigh* my body still couldn’t keep up with me. I’m easily exhausted with just doing that much…. Aargh’
While thinking of the outcome of that battle, I felt a sudden pain from my eyes. I immediately cover it with both my hands. It felt like someone is pricking my eyes with a needle. It hurts so much I wanted to cry.
Then the pain vanishes as if it was never been there in the first place. I was bewildered on what just happen while I rubbed my eyes. Thinking maybe it’s just an aftereffect in doing those moves while I’m in this kind of body, I shrugged my shoulders and decide to continue sleeping.
I stretched my hand to grab my blanket when I came into contact with something tender and soft in the vicinity of my solar plexus.
Wondering what exactly it was, I groped around it with my hand, that soft something changed its shape gently in the middle of my palm.
“Nnnya…… aahn……”
‘What was that? a cat? They’re making some pretty strange sounds today. But still, what is this object with such a remarkable elasticity, smooth round thing?’
As I reaffirmed the feeling of that soft something with my hands by opening and closing my palm, I heard something again.
“Nnh… no… oh, Lyle-sama…”
“……Mmm?”
At last, I came to realization. ‘T-this is…’ while thinking something, I slowly raise the blanket. There I saw Sasha clinging to me while sleeping.
“Wh— Ma—”
My body stiffened in surprise. I suddenly realize what the thing I’m firmly holding on. I immediately retracted my hand in which the feeling of that soft something still lingered unto it.
“Mm…. Lyle-sama…do your best…fight-o!”
Watching her blissful looking sleeping face while muttering those words, a feeling of something warm surge through my heart. I smiled while stroking her hair. She seems pleased with that because she smiled then she hugged me tightly and buried her face to mine. Feeling delighted I decided to sleep while embracing her.

(Author here, for now I will be the one who will continue, a twelve-headed hydra came up and Lyle needs to do something about it. Poor Lyle, oh well
Where did he stop? Oh right here…)
-Lyle’s Room, 6:00 AM-
Taking a look back in time, yesterday Sasha carried Lyle to his room all alone and was so tired she immediately fell asleep together with him. Lyle, who woke up in the middle of the night saw her beautiful sleeping face next to him decided to sleep with her while embracing her.
Now both of them were asleep, if someone open the door and saw them, they will surely think something is going on between them.
But there is no one in the room so it’s safe……. is what you wanted to think but suddenly
BANG!
With a force that was not to joke about, without so much as a knock first, the door opened. No...It was kicked open.
A startled Sasha immediately opens her eyes to see what was going on. Turning her head she saw Ileana, both feet out in a stance that had her blocking the doorway. Upon seeing her she immediately tried to sit up properly but couldn’t for some reason.

Ileana who was just on the doorway dashed out inside the room. The next moment, she started speaking in full force.
“Lyle, are you okay? I hear what happened yesterday, are…”
Ileana who was panicking and frantically shouting, upon seeing Sasha stop.
“Y-your majesty….”
“No, before you talk, please do something about that and please wake him up while you’re at it”
“-----eh!?”
Sasha who tried to say something immediately was cut off by Ileana. Wondering what Ileana means she look at her body and noticed a hand grabbing her dress. Stretching inside the blanket, she was startled because Lyle was besides her embracing her while sleeping.
Sasha looked as though she was about to scream—but she suppressed the urge to do so, after mustering all his self-control. She tried to separate from him but Lyle only moan a little and pressed his body on top of her.
“L-lyle-sama, i-it’s already morning!”
Feeling embarrassed she gently shake Lyle’s body.
“Uuhm…5 minutes… just 5 minutes….”
“You can’t Lyle-sama, h-her majesty is here!”
Lyle flailed his limbs about, sending the blanket flying. Lyle who had been unreasonably roused from his sleep blinked his black colored eyes, looking at Sasha then to her mother Ileana, and elegantly—while still half asleep—smiled.
“Good morning, Sasha and also to you Mother!”
“G-good morning to you too, L-lyle-sama and also Y-your M-majesty!”
“Ah, Good morning Lyle and Sasha!”
Witnessing the sudden embarrassing situation, Ileana who was just before was frantic and panicking, couldn’t help herself but just stand there, watching while smiling.
“Y-your M-majesty, T-this is…Uugh!”
Noticing the smile on Ileana’s face, she got flustered and immediately got up from the bed. She tried to make an excuse but couldn’t think of anything good. Lyle was just looking at Sasha’s flustered appearance and laughed inwardly. He stood up and tried to help her by changing the topic.
“So, what are you doing here so early in the morning mom?”
Hearing the question, she fold her arms and look at Lyle’s face—and just his face, she raised her eyebrows in a frown.
“I heard what happened yesterday! Are you okay? Do you have any injuries? Just why did you try fighting Gil?”
Instantly, a barrage of questions was launched at Lyle. It seems like the fight happened yesterday has become the talk of the people inside the castle. All the servants keep muttering how amazing and talented the prince is, especially the knights who saw the fight was always saying how incredible and amazing the fight was. Obviously it will reach the master of the house which is the king and the queen.
He took a deep breath, blinking his black eyes. With an unreadable expression, and looked back at her. He smiled and said with his chest puffed out.
“You have nothing to worry about mom, I just collapsed from exhaustion. Even Uncle Gil’s sword didn’t reach me!”
He tried to calm her down by means of showing off, but it came out…. silly. Seeing her son boasting about, she smiled and said
“Fine! But you better promise me not to do something like this again, okay?”
“Hai~!”
Lyle smiled while he answered, but then a sudden thought came to Ileana’s mind.
“Oh, right! You need to dress up, your fiancé is coming!”
Stunned, Lyle couldn’t hide his surprised. Even Sasha who was silently listening just now, distorted her face as if she just heard that the whole world was going to be destroyed.
““F-FIANCEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!””
Their shrill voice reverted through the whole room or maybe through the palace.
