A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 33 – Handmaid Confused by Unknown Emotions

The freshman welcome banquet continued for about a couple of hours after the sun went down and ended.

“As of the current time, we will finish the welcome banquet for new students. I hope you all leave the room and go back to the dormitory.”

“I’m not allowed to go out until today, so please don’t leak in the middle and head straight to the dormitory.”

When the person in charge of the banquet announced the end of the banquet, people began to leave the banquet hall one by one.

A starry night sky greeted the cadets walking out of the banquet hall.

The faces of the cadets returning to the dormitory were full of regret that the banquet was over and the joy of looking forward to the next one.

The bright moonlight was shining brightly on the cadets as if they were celebrating and encouraging their full-fledged Royal Academy life starting tomorrow.

After the welcome banquet, Nina and I returned to the dormitory.

Why does a simple visit with a three-digit number, 603, look so welcome today?

“Oh wow, I didn’t know that a banquet could be this difficult.”

“You seem to have a hard time, too, Bocchan?”

“I’d rather train… Banquets really don’t suit my constitution at all.”

Wow, I really don’t know how many people come up to me and ask questions.

If you answer one question, another question will fly, and if you answer that question, another question will fly.

At this banquet, I was overwhelmed with just answering the questions that flew in.

I don’t know why there is so much interest in me, but I tried hard to leave a good impression of my family.

Most of the questions people asked me were about my preferences or how I practiced.

Of course, I didn’t disclose everything, and cut off the question in an appropriate line.

“People asked you so many questions this time.”

“No, I don’t know why there is so much interest? Could it be that my family didn’t show up so much in the social world?”

“I will. Young master. The information about our family that the attendants knew was that the sword master was the head of the family. To that extent, it must mean that the Bocchan’s family is not well known among people.”

Certainly, after listening to what Nina said, there was some truth to it.

My family, the Maidern family, is a mysterious entity that rarely shows itself in the social world.

So, the information circulating among the nobles is extremely limited, and even that is all we got from the merchants who come and go to our territory.

“By the way, weren’t there quite a few families that interacted with ours?”

“It is said that he often exchanges letters with the families to which the members of the Territory Knights belong.”

“Yes. Most of our family’s knights are descendants of other noble families.”

Ah. I don’t know.

Today I am very tired.

“Let’s wash today and sleep.”

I told Nina to stop washing and go to bed.

I became a sword master, but I was so tired today, maybe because of the attention people send me.

Nina asked me a question as I helped her take off her robe.

“Brother. Are you going to wake up early tomorrow to practice?”

“I guess so? Now is the moment when life at the Royal Academy begins in earnest.”

“You are proud. Now you know how to train yourself.”

When Nina told me that I was training myself, she responded with pride.

No, what kind of existence is Nina looking at?

With Nina’s help, I took off her robe and changed into a comfy nightgown.

Is it because we’ve been together since we were young?

I didn’t mind showing Nina my flesh.

“Doesn’t it remind me of the past when I take off my clothes like this?”

“What are you talking about, young master?”

“Once upon a time when I was little, I went into the bath with Nina and washed her body.”

When I was little, I often went into the bath with Nina.

Because my parents had a very hard time just taking care of my little brother.

So I always hung out with Nina and often went into the bathroom with Nina to clean me up.

“… …. That’s it. Young master.”

Nina’s face turned red as she quietly listened to her story.

It was red, like the roses that bloom in our family garden.

And then, I caught my eye as Nina kept avoiding my gaze.

Why are you doing that?

Did something suddenly happen that made me feel ashamed to look at my body?

“Nina? Any problem?”

“I, that, nothing. Have a good night’s sleep, young master.”

Nina turned her head away from me and went back to her room.

Hmm. What? What’s wrong?

“I guess I’ll have to ask later… …. What the hell is going on?”

I lay down on the bed and covered myself with the blanket and spoke to myself.

Why did Nina react like that?

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with an answer.

I don’t know. At times like this, it’s best to sleep.

I closed my eyes and immediately fell asleep.

–

Back in my room, I close the door and breathe heavily.

“Ha ha, ha ha.”

How should I look at the boy’s face tomorrow?

As usual in the manor, I was helping the young master take off his robe and change into comfortable clothes.

Aristocratic robes are different from those worn by ordinary people like me, and the way to put them on and take them off is complicated.

There is no way for a nobleman to put on and take off such complex clothes alone, so a servant like me must help.

In the process, you may see the inner workings of the nobles you serve, but you should never panic.

No, it is normal that there is nothing to panic about.

Because people who help a nobleman put on and take off his clothes often see the inside of that nobleman.

Especially, since I was in a position to serve the young master, I had no hesitation in looking at the young master’s flesh.

In the world, when you see this kind of thing, you say, ‘While I saw all the things I couldn’t see’.

From noble mtl dot com.

It was a daily routine for me to take care of the young lady on behalf of the mistress who was busy taking care of the two young ladies and the little boy, and the head of the family who was busy training the knights.

In the meantime, there were many occasions when we took off the boy’s clothes and went into the bath together to wash.

Because the young master trains swordsmanship every day, his whole body was often covered with sweat and dust.

So I had no choice but to take off my clothes and enter the bath together to wash him.

Bocchanim at that time was just a small and cute child in my eyes, probably because his body hadn’t grown yet.

However, the moment I heard the old story of the young master today, I saw the young master’s body differently.

It wasn’t the body I was used to seeing all the time.

The thin and cute body of such a delicate boy was nowhere to be found.

What was revealed under the robe was a well-proportioned body and strong muscles that seemed to split at any moment.

It wasn’t the body of a cute little boy that I’ve seen so far, but a ‘male’ body full of wildness.

Yes.

I thought you would always remain a cute little boy, but suddenly you had the body of a grown up adult.

“Ha ha, ha ha.”

The moment I saw the young boy’s mature body, I felt his heart thump and unknown emotions cover his entire body.

What the hell is this feeling?

“Calm down, Nina. Wake. I am the maid serving the young master. So, you have to keep your mind straight.”

It shouldn’t be like this.

As a servant of the Maidern family and an exclusive maid serving the young master, it seems that my discipline has become lax.

“Starting tomorrow, starting tomorrow, I need to keep some distance.”

I’m sorry, Bocchan, but I guess I’ll have to keep some distance until I realize what these feelings are that engulf my body when I look at your body.

I can’t help it.

Because if you don’t figure out what this emotion is, it might harm you later.

“Ugh, but…… It was pretty cool.”

I try to close my eyes and go to sleep, but the boy’s wonderful muscles keep popping up in my head.

Why are you doing this?

Why do I keep thinking of the boy?

I feel better just by looking at the young master’s smile.

When I think that the boy’s eyes are on me, I suddenly feel happy.

If I think the young master is sad, I get sad too.

What if the boy doesn’t look at me? Thinking about it made his heart ache and ache.

What is this emotion that makes my body and mind so hard?

“I’ll have to ask someone I trust later.”

When I return to my parents’ house, I think I will have to ask the Countess about this feeling.

The Countess is smart, and I think you know what I’m feeling.

Until then, I think I need to keep my distance from you and control my emotions.

I’m sorry, youngster. However, I can’t be rude in front of the young master.

“Boss… ….”

So I lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Today’s bed is strangely cozy.
