Chapter 192 - 21 - Morning With A Busy Nature
"Uuuhh... what happened?"
When the day had changed to morning and the sunlight had entered the window of my private bedroom, I was surprised by an unusual sight before my eyes.
My private bedroom which still contained an important document from the successful spy and infiltration operation carried out by the stealth slime had been crowded by the Black Maid unit on duty.
With my window wide open and my balcony door wide open to let in fresh morning air into my private bedroom. I was faced with an activity that happened earlier than usual.
"Oh, you're awake Lily? The right time to get back to work after sleeping last night."
With my eyes still feeling incredibly sleepy, I was greeted by the presence of my father who was again reading an important document that he had not finished.
The important document was stopped being read by my father after Mama forcibly picked up my father to sleep with her.
In the condition of my private bedroom which was again crowded, I began to pay attention to my surroundings which found Alice Exclusive Maid and Alyssa Exclusive Maid standing beside Mio.
"Good morning, Father. It seems like my father is too enthusiastic in working on a beautiful morning like this," I said while stretching my body after waking up. With my body feeling a pain after sleeping in the wrong position, I saw Alice and Alyssa who were still sleeping beside me.
Unlike me who could wake up in the morning, I think they had to sleep longer to wake up from their delirious sleep.
"Onnee-saammaa... don't go..." Alice gave her cute little delirious while sleeping and her little hug on my arm was released.
"Lily-nee... Uuuhhh... hug me again..." this time, Alyssa also delirious in her sleep who seemed to be dreaming about me hugging her.
Seeing my two sisters who were still sleeping like this, I could only smile a little and slowly get out of my bedroom bed without waking them up.
It seems like I woke up late because the cold morning air was colliding with the warm sunlight.
I also saw Sebastian who seemed to have prepared some breakfast for my father that had been wholeheartedly prepared by the Maid on duty.
"Yes, I have to be enthusiastic after this work was delayed before and have to finish this work before these idiots do something that endangers our family's life, Lily," with a calm attitude and his eyes still focused on reading the important documents in his hands. My father had brewed the warm tea that had been provided several times.
The steam of the warm tea and the aroma of the warm tea made me want to taste it but was held back by Mio who had prepared my bathing equipment.
It seems that I woke up late after the night before listening to Alice and Alyssa's little ideas about their sweet and right-on-target revenge.
I still clearly remember their ideas that made me unable to think.
An idea that sounds cruel but logically must be done for better prevention and resistance.
The tactic used by Alice is a tactic that must be done when our enemies make their move by sending an invitation to war to fight over our territory as they did before.
With our abundant mining and natural resources in mind, their official invasion targets were already a given, especially with our territory now surrounded by the opposition faction of the nobles.
On the other hand, Alyssa made a plan to prevent their resistance by conducting small attacks that would make them suffer a little before being provoked into making an official move to invade fellow nobles of the Aurora Kingdom after several of their farms failed to produce crops.
The tactic was between attacking offensively and attacking slowly but the damage was visible as time went on.
I don't know what happened to these twin sisters of mine, they seem to have a cute and scary side at the same time.
"Our family seems to be struggling to survive on a battlefield, huh?" I muttered a little while making a small joke about what was happening to Marquess Rommel's family.
"We are indeed on a battlefield, Lily," my father replied without paying any attention to the joke I had given.
Since the situation in my private bedroom was a bit more serious and hot, I immediately took some of my toiletries from Mio and went to take a shower to freshen up my body before doing the activity that made me locked up in the room all day.
With that many secret documents that stealth slime herd managed to collect, I think the most suitable thing to do for now is to survive the onslaught of the opposition noble faction that began to show their fangs to our family.
Mio and I walked towards the exit of my private bedroom towards the bathroom that Mio had prepared beforehand.
Kraaakk...
Kllaapp...
When Mio and I were outside my private bedroom, I suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect that after waking up I would be greeted by the presence of my father and several Black Maid units that moved under his command. It almost made my heart jump out in the morning, Mio," I said jokingly to Mio who was following me from behind.
"That's too much, Lily-sama. If your heart is jump out like that, Yulia will have a hard time putting your heart back into Lily-sama's body."
It seems like Mio is in a serious working condition right now. Even my little joke was not responded to well by her.
If Mio is in a serious and focused working condition like this, I can conclude that there will be an official movement that will be given by my father today.
The situation that can't make Mio joke and look serious is probably related to the preparation of my expedition that will enter the forest to establish an alliance with the Elf race and the Dark Elf race.
Although the information is not official, Mio seems to be giving a sign that it will be done soon by my father.
"Ah, I just remembered, it seems like bringing Yulia into this expedition will be quite helpful, especially with her medical skills that are beyond normal."
With relaxed steps towards the bathroom that Mio has prepared, I make a casual conversation topic for Mio.
With her serious face, Mio would definitely answer some formal questions that felt important to answer with her serious condition like this.
"Lily-sama, you're not planning to take Yulia to the deepest part of the forest that is still unknown, right?" Mio replied with a look in her eyes that seemed to worry her colleague who was not good at defending herself.
"That's a good idea to get her involved in this, right? In the deepest part of the forest that is still unknown and puts my twin sisters in danger. It will make them much calmer with Yulia's presence who will be their savior."
I don't want any incidents that will hurt my cute and beautiful twin sisters.
However, if there is a precaution like Yulia's presence that makes the mood more comfortable, wouldn't that help relieve Alice and Alyssa's anxiety if they get sick when entering the deepest part of the forest?
At least, I hope that this expedition will end well and have optimal results to make the Marquess Rommel family rise in a war behind the scenes like this.
"That's true, but to bring Yulia. At least we need someone reliable to look after her," Mio replied, seemingly thinking about someone to look after Yulia if she were to participate in this expedition.
"Can't you look after her, Mio?" I asked suddenly, making Mio stop in her tracks.
"M-Me?" With a stutter, Mio looked like she wanted to make a small protest.
"I-I'm the one in charge of guarding and protecting Yulia?" Mio asked further after she was unsure about what I had said earlier.
"But... what about Lily-sama, Alice-sama, and Alyssa-sama? Shouldn't I protect and guard all of you?" Mio's expression immediately changed when she realized that this expedition would make her guard and protect someone who didn't have high value like a member of the Marquess Rommel family.
"Mio... right now Yulia is different from me, Alice, and Alyssa, we have been trained independently to protect our bodies from attacks coming towards us. While Yulia doesn't have the skills to protect herself," I tried to explain why Mio needed to be Yulia's bodyguard and protector when an unwanted situation occurred.
"Moreover, this will be a fun experience for Yulia after she found rare plants for herbal medicine several times like what happened on Marquess Rommel's family vacation before. You still remember how happy Yulia's expression was when she found a rare mushroom that could cure insomnia suffered by several Maids with messy sleeping hours, right?" I sounded like I was giving another reason that made Mio have to accept a task to escort and protect Yulia if she joined this expedition.
"I-I understand all those reasons, Lily-sama. But!!" with some small protests, Mio tried to refuse her task that was not part of my Exclusive Maid's duties.
"Do I need to use my authority as your owner to do a small task like this?" with a cold feeling in my heart and a small glance in my eyes, I stopped walking and gave Mio a cold stare.
"This is not a small task after the situation of Marquess Rommel's family is on the brink after being toyed with like this, Mio," I continued my words with a cold stare that made Mio bow her head dejectedly.
"We need some precautions and countermeasures before the game behind this board turns, Mio. I hope you understand the important conditions we are facing after returning from this family vacation," by giving Mio a little encouragement about this urgent situation. I hope that Mio understands this.
Mio's face looked tired after getting some cold words from me.
I did that so that Mio could listen to my selfish request and make her follow this request without asking many questions.
Mio who was still looking down tiredly invited a small feeling of mine that seemed like I was bullying her.
With my small steps to approach her, I gave a soft touch to her ear to whisper something.
"I know this feels heavy, but just hold on for a while."
"If this goes smoothly and the alliance contract is successfully obtained, then..."
Along with my whisper that was getting closer to Mio's ear, I gave a soft kiss to her ear.
"Then we'll do something we usually do every night when we sleep together," I whispered into Mio's ear after releasing a soft kiss on her ear.
Like a spellbinding spell, the whisper made Mio smile and blush.
What do you think?
