I Became the Maid of the Lout Prince

Holy Land of Mireya.

We came here for the Saintess’s wedding, and somehow, the mess just keeps piling up.

First, the so-called Goddess sends a telepathic transmission into my head in the middle of the night.

Then, she drops the bomb that the reason I got dragged into this world was because that bastard Hero asked for攻略(walkthrough) help.

And now, Ethan’s the problem. Seems like something I said made him remember his childhood, and he’s all rattled.

“Y-You didn’t talk about anything… weird, did you? I-I wasn’t suspicious or anything! Just… curious…”@@novelbin@@

“…Nothing strange. It was just a little misunderstanding between me and the Hero. We’ve sorted it out now.”

“O-Oh… I see. That misunderstanding… I—no, never mind, Lilith…”

The entire way back to our room, Ethan was trailing beside me, glancing over with that awkward, uneasy look.

Honestly? I hated it.

The Ethan I love isn’t some meek, hesitant man tiptoeing around me.

The Ethan I love is intense, possessive, and completely fixated on me.

Not that I’d ever love him any less for acting like this… but compared to the Ethan I know, this version of him? I don’t like it.

‘Ugh. He’s acting exactly like he did back when we were kids.’

Just like that time when I told him he could grope my chest if he won his duel with Harold—and he stood there all flustered, too shy to make a move.

Sure, it’s nostalgic… but if he stays like this, we’re going to have problems.

The last thing I need is for the world to start seeing Ethan—the mighty Duke of Blackwood—as some pushover husband who’s whipped by his wife.

Hell, I'd rather let my reputation take the hit than have that become his image.

‘So… what now, Goddess? This mess is on you. Ethan’s only acting like this because of what you said.’

‘…Well, to be fair, isn’t this partially your fault, Lilith? I’d say your handling of the situation left… something to be desired.’

‘If you hadn’t told him that the Hero called me here, this wouldn’t have happened.’

‘So, should I have lied to you? I figured you at least deserved to know why you ended up here.’
