Coming out of my reverie, I see Mia's sweet face blushing as she watches me closely, finding her silly look funny, and I begin to play with her.

I put my hand around her waist and pull her closer to me, whispering seductively in her ear.

"So, Mia, even though I spent the day in my room, I'm a little sweaty and would like to wash up. Could you help me?".

Even though her body is shaking slightly and her voice is muffled because she has her face buried in my chest, she meows determinedly.

"I would love to help you wash, but I can't, Lord Kaizer".

A little surprised by his refusal, I ask, ''Why should that be the case? Aren't you responsible for taking care of me? And you don't have to be so formal with me; even though it's your job, when we're alone you can just call me Kaizer. We're close enough for that, right?".

Mia nods with a happy expression on her face.

"Yes, when we are alone, I will treat you with less formality," she continues, "As for your first question, why did you forbid me to bathe you? Even though I am responsible for your care, I have been ordered not to attend to your personal hygiene".

I lower my eyes to meet hers. ''If not you, who is in charge of this task?''

Mia says in a more serious tone. ''The lady who takes care of you in this regard has forbidden all the maids to touch you.''

-Huh, so Miss Sophia is possessive. I wonder what she would think if she found out that her own mother was kissing her, and although I am attracted to possessive women, I have to dominate her, otherwise she might end up ruining my future plans. -

Leaving my thoughts aside, I begin to play with the ''little'' maid with a playful smile.

''So, even though your mistress strictly forbids you to touch me, you still have the courage to hug me so shamelessly. I didn't think you would disobey her orders so shamelessly, Mia. hehehe''.

Mia says pouting while she hugs me even tighter, ''Hunpf, even though she was the first to see you and take care of you, I took care of you too, and besides, I was the first one you saw when you woke up. And even though she's my boss, she doesn't own you, so I can touch you as much as I want.''

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

''Hehehe, you're really brave, Mia. Just tell her that, and she's not the one standing at the door by chance?''

With a startled jump, Mia gets off my lap and starts to apologize stuttering and turning towards the door.

''If-if-miss, m-I'm sorry...'' When she looks at the door and sees that no one is there, she slowly turns to me and asks with real doubt, ''Where is she?".

As I wipe the tears from the corners of my eyes from the fit of laughter this has caused me, I say between laughs. "Mia, where has your courage gone? ''.

Puffing out her cheeks like a squirrel, Mia throws herself at me and starts to throw light punches at my chest.

''Hunpf, you're joking because you don't know how scary you are when you're angry.''

Enjoying her massage strokes, I relax on the bed while continuing to play with her. Hehehe, I imagine she must be really scary to scare my fearless maid.

"By the way, when will she come to give me a bath? ''.

Mia, looking at the clock on the wall that says eight o'clock at night, says, ''At this time she should already be taking care of you, but due to unforeseen circumstances she was a little late, but in a little while she will be...'' while Mia's said footsteps begin to approach the door.

Mia quickly gets up and starts to fix the dress, which was wrinkled due to our proximity, and I quickly lay down to pretend to be unconscious again.

Now, with my eyes closed, I hear the door open while a melodious but cold voice echoes through the room.

"Mia, do you have any news? How is his situation?''.

Although the voice seemed indifferent and cold in some ways, one could sense a certain concern when the woman asked Mia these questions.

''No, ma'am; he hasn't shown any signs of waking up yet.'' Mia said it as if nothing had happened seconds ago.

-''Although you can hear a slight reluctance in her voice, this little maid is really doing her best to keep my secret. I will have to reward her later.'' -

''It's not what I want to hear, but I hope the day he wakes up will come,'' Sophia says with a certain expectation in her tone.

"Mia can rest, I'll take it from here. Thank you for your work today''.

"Understood, Miss Sophia, have a good night''. Mia slowly walks out the bedroom door.

After a moment of silence, I hear the sound of a zipper opening and clothes falling to the floor, followed by a sweet voice. A voice that was cold as ice seconds ago is now calling to me in the most loving way I've ever felt.

''Sorry for the delay, dear; I had a lot of paperwork to review. The county's internal problems continue to increase, and now monster attacks are becoming more frequent on the border of the Black Forest.''

After feeling two soft hands lightly touch my chest.

I hear Sophia say after undressing me completely. ''No matter how many times I've seen this scene, your body is perfect. Really perfect''. When I heard this last part of the sentence, I felt that there was a burning gaze on my treasure.

''Now let's go to the bathroom, I really need a hot shower too.''

After hearing Sophia say this, I felt her soft hands lift me up lightly as she took me to the bathroom.

''Huun, so Sophia is a cultivator. Man, I want to open my eyes.''
