「Are you okay? Don’t overdo it…」
The Princess, sitting by his side on the bed, leans over his body and puts a wet cloth on his forehead, and then puts him back onto the pillows. Hearing her mistress’s voice that Rou was awake, Diana’s expression also brightens.
「Oh my, Rou-sama, I was so worried since you were asleep for three whole days… I’m so glad…」
「T, three days straight!?」
Hearing a revelation like that seriously surprised him, but as the time passed he was gradually remembering what made him lose consciousness in the first place.
「…hah!? M, more importantly, are you alright, Reaina-sama!?」
「Eh, me…?」
The boy suddenly got all worked-up, and for the moment the Princess seemed to be at a loss to what to say.
「Yes, thanks to your brave efforts, Rou-sama, all of the bandits have been disposed of, and Reaina-sama remained unharmed.」
「Is that so… I’m glad to hear that…」
「Rather than me, you should be more concerned with your own health! You were injured so seriously… I was so worried since you fell and wouldn’t wake up no matter what.」
Says Reaina with a red face, letting out a sigh of relief.
Rou’s injuries must have been really serious if he slept for three days straight without waking up at all. Additionally, his right arm was put in splints, and it was fully bandaged.
「Eh, Raina-sama… You were worried… about me…?」
He would never even dare to think that the Princess would worry about someone like him, and that fact got his so happy that he just stared at the Princess without really saying anything.
「That’s right, Reaina-sama was tending to Rou-sama’s wounds all this time without even sleeping for this three whole days.」
The Head Maid smiles while saying that, to which the Princess turns towards her and glares daggers at her.
「T, there’s no special meaning behind that or anything like that at all… Y, you were injured because of me, so it is only natural that I should take care of you in return!」
The Princess was so embarrassed by her own words that she blushed heavily and turned her head away. Rou only noticed that now, but this place was Reaina’s bedroom, and he was sleeping in her bed.
(Is this a dream of some kind…?)
Hearing that he was being cared for by the Princess herself after his brush with death, Rou was speechless. It was that unbelievable of a situation.
「Is it true that Rou finally woke up!?」
「Aah… Rou-san… Rou-san…」
After hearing that the Princess’ savior regained consciousness, Karen, Mirianne, and other maids began to flood the room to see him with their own eyes. At the very end, the young Princess flew into his arms and hugged him tightly.
「You dummy! Doing something so dangerous so carelessly… What would you do if you died out there!?」
Karen’s eyes were also red and swollen, and in addition her arms were shaking with anger. She must have been worried sick, but now wore the expression of relief just like any other maid.
「Now, now, as you can see, Rou is still injured. He needs his rest, so please leave him alone for now.」
Reaina get everyone to leave the room, including her little sister. However, she let Diana stay with them.
「Geez, Onee-sama…」
Of course, Ann was not happy with the fact that she had to leave as well, but she still left without trying to argue or stay behind.
The Princess must have been tired from all this noise as well. After every visitor leaves the bedroom, it regains it original peace and tranquility.
「Oh, that’s right, you must be hungry. I shall go and prepare something for you.」
Hearing Diana say that, not only Rou but the Princess seemed to be surprised as well. Diana put a trace with a bowl and spoon in front of the boy, and he tried to lift if to his mouth like he would usually do. But seeing his struggles, the Princess offered her aid yet again.
「Eh, um, umm… What is, this…?」
「It must be hard for you to eat with your dominant hand broken like that. Here, as an exception, I shall feed you this one time.」
「No way… Reaina-sama, there’s no need for you to do that for me…」
Seeing how this normally prideful Princess was going out of her way to help him made Rou look in between her and the bowl of porridge with teary eyes.
「Since you got injured because of me, it is only natural for me to help you out. Think nothing of it.」
「I, I understand… Well then, ah! It’s hot, hot! Fuu, fuu… 」
Not being used to feeding others, the Princess shoves a spoonful of hot porridge into Rou’s mouth. It was so hot that he thought he might have actually burned his tongue, and tears begin to well up in his eyes.
「I, I’m sorry! I didn’t know it was so hot…」
Reaina apologized while wiping the boy’s mouth with a towel.
「…No, it’s alright… Haha, it’s hot, but it is also delicious.」
「I, I’m not going to fail this time around.」
The Princess looked completely serious, to which Rou responded with a forced smile. She scooped some of the porridge with a spoon, and then blew on it a few times to cool it down and brought it to his mouth.
「Well? Is it delicious?」
This time around, the rice mass passes through Rou’s throat and falls into his empty belly without any problems. The boy looked thrilled to see such a gentle expression on the Princess’ face, one that he never seen before. His heart was soaring at the sight.
(W, what happened to you, Reaina-sama…?)
「Yes, it very delicious. Thank you very much.」
「I’m glad to hear that. Oh…? Look just how much you’re sweating. Diana, please draw a bath at once.」
Looking at the boy’s face while he was eating, the Princess ordered her maid to prepare a bath.
「I’ll order the maids to prepare a bath for Rou-sama right this instant.」
「Wait just a minute, Diana.」
Although it was middle of the night, Reaina ordered her maids to prepare a bath, but just before Diana left the bedroom, the Princess stopped her.
Although she looked surprised for a minute, Diana patiently waited at the entrance to the room.
「Right, let us go. Think you’ll be able to stand up?」
「Reaina-sama, just where…!?」
「You’re still injured, so for now just stay quiet and play along for now…」
Even though the boy was worried for a second, but the Princess held his hand and got him out of the bed. And even though he was thrilled to hold hands with his beloved Princess, he was more concerned with her well-being, rather than his own health.
「Eh, this place is…?」
After walking for a while on wobbly legs, they arrived at the large bath, the very same from which the Princess threw him out before.
「Now, please take off your clothes, Rou.」
Several maids were already working on undressing him and preparing him a fresh change of clothes. When Rou got undressed, he was forced into the bath.
「Eh, eeehhh…? Umm… Eeh…?」
Suddenly he was thrown into the large bath reserved for royal family members only, and the boy had no idea why all of this was happening. Then without a moments delay ––
「S, sorry for keeping you waiting…」
Reaina enters the bath, having changed from her pearl-white dress into the almost transparent bathing suit resembling a bathrobe.
Although her skin was covered, the cloth was perfectly sticking to her body, outlining her perfect curves and round butt. Because of the belt around her waist, Rou could see just how slim her waist was and see her exposed legs.
Her round breasts were sticking out of the robe, her milky-white robe peeking into the open from behind the cloth.
「It’s really embarrassing if you just keep on staring at me so much…」
Under the boy’s passionate gaze the Princess’ body shakes and her cheeks turn bright red. Even though she would normally get mad at him for acting in such a way, right now her reaction was strangely meek and even sweet.
「Ah, aah… I’m terribly sorry… Umm, Reaina-sama… What exactly is the meaning of this…?」
Being stared at made the Princess turn her eyes away, while Rou asks her the question he wanted to ask for some time now.
「You did so much for me, so now it is only natural for me to return the favor in kind.」
「No way… Reaina-sama, you don’t have to concern yourself with something like that…」
「It, it’s fine, really, so just sit there and let me do my job!」
The Princess presses on the shoulders of the startled boy, while sitting on a seat near the bathtub.
(This is, what is going on…?)
It was now clear for him that Princess Reaina kept on acting strange from the moment he woke up. Her usual haughty attitude was gone, and she was acting in a really bashful manner.
「Now then…Let us begin…」
The Princess wet the towel with hot water, rubs some soap in, and starts to wash the boy’s back. However, her movements were rather awkward, as she was having some troubles.
Since the Princess would often have the maids wash her body, she must have been unfamiliar with washing up the other person. However, he could feel that she was going her very best to wash him properly.
「There we go…. Oh my, now that I take a closer look, your back is very muscular…」
「T, thank you very much…」
The Princess stars at the boy’s back, while looking entranced.
「To be hurt so much just because you protected me…」
Seeing just how bruised and wounded his whole body was, Reaina traces her hand across some of them.
「This is only my duty as a royal knight…」
She was always so harsh with him, so he knew that he should feel grateful for this sudden change of attitude. But some part of him felt ashamed for enjoying this new side of Reaina. However, this meekness was so calming and relaxing, that Rou couldn’t even perceive when two soft objects began to occasionally press against his back.
The natural softness and springiness of her breasts were transferred through the robe, and just like in Diana’s case, his lower body began to respond to this sudden stimulus.
(Ughhh… If I mention to her that her breasts are touching me, she might get mad at me even though she seems to be in a good mood today…)
His crotch area becomes bigger and bigger, and so he tried to conceal it naturally by placing his hands over it.
「There, all done. Now, if you could please turn around and let me wash the front as well… Kyah!」
「T, this is… I’m terribly sorry!」
Seeing the head of his penis poking its way through Rou’s hands, Reaina lets out a cute scream. Rou blushes like crazy and couldn’t help himself but to start to apologize for this natural phenomenon.
「…It’s fine, there’s no need for you to apologize… I know that men tend to grow down there when they get overly excited…」
