ALL NOVEL “Young Master….”
“Yes?”
“When will we arrive…?”
“Isn’t Miss Sophia more likely to know than I do…?”
That’s true, but….
“…..”
The carriage was so uncomfortable.
It was sad to think there were still days left until we arrived, but there was nothing I could do about it.
“Sigh…”
“If it’s really uncomfortable, why don’t you sleep?”
“Well….”
I actually wanted to sleep.
But with just the two of us, I thought it might not be right for the direct servant to sleep while the master was awake.
“It’s fine. There’s nothing else to do but look out the window while riding the carriage anyway.”
“…Then.”
Maybe a little nap wouldn’t hurt.
Yeah, since Kyle said it was okay, sleeping wouldn’t be a problem, right…?
“Is it okay if I take a short nap?”
“Yes, go ahead. I’ll just look outside.”
“Thank you.”
Saying that, I closed my eyes.
I could faintly smell Kyle’s scent beside me.
It was different from what he used at the castle, but why did it smell the same?
Well… since it wasn’t a bad smell, I slowly drifted off to sleep, inhaling that scent.

“Haa…”
Sophia, lying next to me, was quietly breathing with her eyes closed.
Kyle was watching her.
The inside of the carriage was designed so it could hardly be seen from the outside.
They communicated with the driver through a small window, and the carriage’s window was glass, but due to the angle, it was difficult to see inside from outside.
“I’m really going crazy….”
Kyle muttered to himself, glancing at the sleeping Sophia.
It was no wonder.
These days, bathing with Sophia was driving him insane.
Each time she pushed her chest out while washing him, he found himself battling his own will.
Though he covered his lower half with a towel, if it grew, it would definitely be noticeable.
That was for sure.
He couldn’t say his size was small—if anything, it was on the larger side, so a silhouette would surely show.
“Huuh….”
He endured with unbelievable patience.
It was undoubtedly the hardest time of Kyle’s 17 years of life.
He thought it would be harder than what happened in his childhood.
Even now, a unique fragrance that didn’t quite match Sophia continued to waft around him.
He felt like burying his nose in her neck and just breathing, but he held back.
It annoyed him that Sophia viewed him as a little brother.
He couldn’t say anything inappropriate to foolish Sophia, who had such a tempting body and no thoughts about it.
Just like Sophia thought of him as family, Kyle also thought of her as family for now.
He had always thought of her that way, so he didn’t suddenly find the courage to do anything.
He held still for the sake of a single desire.
There were too many things more important than that desire.
Sophia had already weakened compared to before.
That was certain.
As she grew, the once taller Sophia had become smaller than Kyle, now looking up at him cutely.
Every time he looked at her, his eyes would wander down to her chest.
And at some point, Sophia had grown weaker.
Kyle guessed it was because she hadn’t been exercising.
“….”
If he pushed Sophia away with force, she would definitely fall back.
If Kyle treated her forcefully, she wouldn’t be able to resist properly.
“I’m really going crazy….”
Kyle found himself imagining strange things every time he looked at Sophia.
How could she have such a chest?
What would happen if he touched that chest with his hands?
How would it feel?
“…..”
Kyle seriously thought he needed some alone time.
Sharing a room at the inn and having Sophia always follow him around meant he couldn’t have any time to himself.
It had already been days since he had last… released himself.
“At this inn, I really need to get separate rooms.”
Or at least find a room with two beds.
He had to find a way to relieve himself.
Absolutely.
He must.
He had to do it before the week was over.
He had to figure something out before they arrived at the capital!
Otherwise, he was sure he would end up having an accident while sleeping.
When Kyle didn’t know about relieving himself, he had once woken up to find he had messed in his pants.
It was really dangerous when he woke up due to a strange feeling.
That morning was incredibly difficult because Sophia was still trying to help him change his clothes.
As soon as he felt that strange feeling, he quickly took off his pants, then his underwear, and somehow managed to find a new pair to change into.
When Sophia suddenly caught a whiff of the smell that morning, Kyle couldn’t help but sweat.
*
“Sophia, let’s rent two rooms today.”
“What?”
“Well, since there’s nothing dangerous, wouldn’t it be better to stay separate?”
“Um… Is that so?”
Separate rooms suddenly?
What if something happens…?
What if a ninja suddenly appeared through the window or I caught some disease starting with ‘C’?
What if I collapsed from a heart attack?! What if I tripped and hit my head on the sink?!
“If something happens…”
“…That won’t happen, so don’t worry.”
“But Young Master….”
“Sophia.”
“Yes….”
“Just stay in the next room.”
“Yes….”
Against her will, they ended up with separate rooms.
Kyle’s expression seemed off today, so Sophia accepted it without thinking.
Under normal circumstances, she wouldn’t have agreed so easily…
But she had no choice.
Kyle wanted it.
“Sigh…”
She felt worried about whether he was really washing himself properly.
Having been helped his entire life by servants, could Kyle really wash himself correctly?
Or should she just go help him now?
“Grrr…!”
It felt like throwing a child into the river.
She believed he would manage well in her head.
But her heart didn’t think so.
Sophia continued to ponder while sitting in the bathtub of the bathroom in the room that was separate from Kyle’s.

-Knock knock
“Young Master, may I come in?”
Saying that, I opened the door to Kyle’s room.
He was still asleep.
“Sniff… Sniff…”
Something smelled…
It was a scent I’d smelled from Kyle’s room before.
What on earth was this sweet smell coming from?
Could it be Kyle’s body odor?
If so, that would be quite surprising.
He usually didn’t have this sweet scent…
“Sniff… It’s nice.”
Well, it didn’t smell bad.
A nice scent isn’t an issue.
“Young Master.”
I gently shook Kyle awake.
Perhaps because it was hot in the room, he had taken off his top.
Thanks to that, I could clearly see Kyle’s well-defined muscles.
“Ooo….”
Every time I saw him, it was still impressive.
I shook Kyle a little and touched his muscles.
“Wow…”
They were really firm.
When washing him, the soap made it hard to feel it properly, but now, without any obstacles, I could feel the texture much better.
“…Sophia?”
“Oh.”
Maybe I pressed too hard.
Kyle had woken up without me realizing.
“Young Master, it’s morning. We need to get on the carriage again today.”
“Yes.”
Kyle got up from bed without saying much.
He had completely removed his top but had put on his bottoms properly.
If it were me, if it were hot, I’d have taken everything off.
Wouldn’t it be more comfortable to sleep completely naked than just in a top?
Or is that not the case?
“Young Master, how would you like breakfast? Should we eat lightly at the inn or go to a restaurant?”
“Let’s just have a quick meal at the inn and set off.”
“Yes.”
As Kyle suggested, they decided to eat at the inn.
Truthfully, the taste wasn’t as good as a restaurant, but it wasn’t bad either.
It was sufficient for a light meal.
As they got closer to the capital, the infrastructure improved in various ways, so that was a relief.
“Hmm… we’re not debuting right after we arrive at the capital, so we have plenty of time to enjoy it. Young Master, I believe you’ve never visited the capital before.”
Kyle hadn’t left Eristirol.
It seemed a good idea to check out the capital while they were there.
“Yes.”
“Then until the evening before the debut, let’s explore the capital together. I’ve been there a few times, so I should be okay to show you around.”
“Oh….”
“Don’t worry. The capital will definitely be different from Eristirol. I can guarantee it will be fun.”
“Then I appreciate it.”
That settled it.
Kyle and Sophia would enjoy their time together.
Afterward, they got back on the awfully uncomfortable carriage.
While the carriage was uncomfortable, mentally, it wasn’t bad.
Having Kyle sitting next to her made it much more comfortable.
Thanks to that, she was able to sleep easily.
Whether Kyle slept next to her, she didn’t know, but he probably did.
How long would it take them to move from village to village? He couldn’t have just sat there doing nothing.
After continuously riding the carriage, they finally arrived at the capital.
It felt like such a long journey.
“Young Master, we have arrived.”
“Yes.”
Now, Kyle’s debut was right around the corner.
She believed he would do well. After all, he was a little genius.
