The Princeliest Prince of All - Chapter 14
She gently set Leonard’s semi-erxct member down and started cleaning up.
She selected an appropriate cloth from the laundry basket to clean her hands, then wiped down their clothes and the carpet.
Sera dampened a handkerchief in the basin and carefully cleaned Leonard’s member, now soft and resting after a satisfactory release.
Having used water from the morning, she expected him to have a fit, but the prince was too exhausted to care about such details.
The stains were a problem, but the smell was worse.
The bedroom, usually devoid of any scent, was now filled with the heavy musk of a man.
Of course, no one would suspect that a maid had given the prince a handjob just from the smell, but still.
Sera glanced at Leonard, opened the window wide, and said,
“Your Highness, let’s air this room out a bit…”
Thud.
At the heavy sound, Sera quickly turned away from the window.
Leonard had collapsed onto the carpet, not even managing to put his now-flaccid member back into his trousers.
The intense excitement of his first climax and the subsequent shock, combined with a delayed stress reaction to the uncleanliness, had caused Leonard to faint again.
Sera looked at the unconscious Leonard with a tired expression.
* * *
Leonard found himself in a deep pit.
The bottom was a squishy, muddy mess of indeterminate depth.
His trousers were already stained with filthy water.
He struggled to escape, but his feet only sank deeper.
Where am I?
When he looked up, he saw a dark sky studded with stars.
Would someone come to rescue him?
The only sound mocking his plight was the wind rustling the branches.
“Ugh. Disgusting.”
A clear woman’s voice pierced the air, and Sera Brandt’s brown-haired head appeared before him.
Leonard tried to call for help, but no sound came from his throat.
“How does it feel to be in the muck? Now, it seems like you’re dirtier than I am.”
Is this all manure?
What had appeared to be mud now looked like a mix of horse and cow dung.
Leonard lifted his hand to cover his mouth, feeling nauseous, but found his hands just as dirty, unable to bring them to his face.
Sera continued speaking, looking down at the helpless Leonard.
“Your Highness, you can vomit or faint as much as you like. I’m going to follow this brave and handsome knight.”
A man appeared beside Sera. Though his features were obscured, Leonard somehow knew he was a gallant knight.
Sera. Don’t go. I’ll give you a raise.
But once again, his words did not reach his lips.
As he sank deeper, Leonard closed his eyes in despair.
Was he going to faint again?
“Your Highness!”
Leonard’s eyes snapped open.
Sera, who had supposedly left him with the knight, was standing before him.
The night sky and mud were gone, replaced by the familiar ceiling of his room.
Sera waved her hand in front of his half-conscious face.
“I wanted to let you sleep, but Sir Evan has already come by three times. I’m also really hungry…”
It was already past lunchtime.
Since Leonard had fainted before breakfast, Sera had also gone without eating and was now starving.
Why had she stayed by his side out of loyalty?
“Oh, Sera… Right, I’ll get up.”
He seemed a bit out of it, but hopefully not broken.
As Leonard got up, creaking, Sera hurriedly prepared fresh clothes.
Leonard often changed clothes frequently.
Sera, as usual, prepared a towel and water for a quick wash and waited behind the partition.
But today, even after Leonard went behind the partition, she didn’t hear the usual sounds of him changing clothes.
Peeking over the partition on tiptoe, Sera asked,
“Are you feeling unwell?”
“No, I’ll be there soon.”
Though puzzled, Sera left the room obediently.
Leonard sighed heavily and slowly undressed.
As he unbuckled his belt, his erxctixn sprang back to life.
Just the thought of undressing with Sera so close made this happen.
Leonard could no longer deny it.
It wasn’t unresolved s-xual desire causing this but Sera Brandt herself.
***
At lunch, Leonard’s behavior was extremely odd.
Whenever Sera took a bite of meat, he did the same.
When she ate mushrooms, which he normally disliked, he followed suit.
Leonard’s strange actions weren’t romantic—he somehow unconsciously felt that whatever Sera ate must be clean and safe.
Back in the office, Leonard’s unusual behavior continued.
He had work to catch up on, but he couldn’t focus.
His eyes kept straying to Sera.
He wanted to be near her, to touch her.
This realization both frightened and thrilled him.
He tried to concentrate, but it was no use.
Sera had become an unavoidable distraction.
