The Maid In The Reverse Harem Game Wants To Quit

Otis, who had been keeping his mouth shut the whole time, immediately changed his attitude as soon as Ahibalt mentioned Irene.

Recalling that blind affection, Ahibalt laughed involuntarily.

‘He’s been following me for a long time.’

Even though there was nothing to copy anymore, they were even copying things like this.

As he recalled that moment, the end of Ahibalt’s smile was bitter though Irene didn’t notice and she only replied with a smile when she heard it worked out.

“I was worried because you both seemed very upset, but it seems it worked out fine.”

In fact, she had no reason not to believe him on her part.

To explain the plan while she was down, Ahibalt had no choice but to speak to Otis directly like that. However, since all such processes were solved, she had to think that they had solved the issue on their own. Above all, the last time she saw Otis was very unstable, and Irene couldn’t help but feel worried.

‘I told him that I’d go back after talking…’

But in the end, she didn’t.

Besides, Otis left for Lowens without giving her a chance to see his face again. The conversation they had just before leaving kept running through Irene’s head.

“I’ll come back when I’m done talking.”

When she said that, Otis let go of her hand and he smiled incomprehensibly

She couldn’t help but wonder if he had really been begging with tears in his eyes just a moment ago, but in fact, the smile that appeared on his face was not much different from the expression that had lingered on Otis’ face a while ago.

The distorted smile seemed to be patient, and it seemed to be holding back something…

…A look that she often saw from Ahibalt.

“You must come back. Don’t forget me.”

As he said that, he let go of Irene’s hand with difficulty. It resembled the appearance of cutting a ribbon with scissors, knowing that the broken ribbon could never be put back together.

It was just that Irene, at the time, didn’t have time to look deeply into it.

‘…So, I was very worried.’

It would be fine if he solved it well with Ahibalt.

She assumed that the reason Otis looked so precarious at the time was because of his fight with Ahibalt, so she thought that she didn’t have to worry about it now that it was all resolved. Because Irene thought that the sincere conversation with Ahibalt, with whom he had formed a bond, would have been much more helpful in stabilizing than herself.

So, she forgot her concerns about Otis.

Above all, Irene didn’t have much time to dwell on such thoughts. A maid’s daily life was always busy, and her daily life was busy with the other servants’ responsibilities.

She spent most of her time caring for Rodion.

Although he was already calmed down, it wasn’t easy for Rodion, who had been consumed by Elios and even taken medicine, to find reason properly again. So, in the end, Irene was still the only one who could approach him.

And, the problem was…

“Kiss me, Rea. Just like then.”

Rodion, who had lost his reasons, remembered what had happened right before the rampage… The person who would normally have been embarrassed to even ask for a hug, was very outspoken, whether it was the aftermath of his reason being eroded or the effect of the potion.

“I didn’t come here to do that with the Young Master. I’m just here to give you medicine.”

“I’ll take the medicine. I hate it because I feel drowsy after taking it, but I can do it if Rea wants me to. So, Rea needs to do something for me, too.”

“You’ve already hugged me for an hour.”

Rodion wouldn’t be separated from Irene for an hour during his waking hours.

Literally.

He would hold her to his heart’s content in a room where no one came near. Patting her hair and kissing on her skinny shoulders, his breath would graze her thin, pulsed neckline.

In the meantime, Irene could feel Rodion’s beating heart.

She wondered what the murky black eyes that stared at her from time to time wanted. Rodion, a shy man who looked more like a boy than a young man, threw away some hesitation and came across as attractive as his half-brothers.

He was a charm befitting the words of youthful blood.

The long curly hair, which was usually tied with the tail, was loosened and naturally covered his back. In addition, a pale scar stood out on the well-groomed chest, visible through the hem of the loose shirt.

The unrefined atmosphere unique to Rodion and the situation in which affection was constantly requested from her definitely felt strange.

‘If this had happened in my first life, I would’ve fallen for Rodion.’

And, enough to make even Irene think.

“Just hugging isn’t enough, Rea. Do you know how much I hate taking medicine? It’s disgusting.”

“I know.”

Irene resolutely affirmed.

The sleeping pills were liquid, and she had tasted them as well.

The first time she came to give sleeping pills to Rodion, whom no one could approach until she woke up, Irene didn’t believe his offer that he would take the pills if he kissed her. However, she didn’t know how to feed him the sleeping pills, so she took her sleeping pills and kissed Rodion on the lips to give him medicine.

It was a medicine that made her brows frown the moment the first drop touched her tongue.

Lavrenti’s doctor said it was specially made for Rodion, as regular medicine wouldn’t work for him. If she hadn’t listened to that explanation, it was a taste that would make her think that something was wrong—from the strangely viscous texture to the smell of burnt rubber, to the bitter, astringent and disgusting taste…

Irene could bet that if the word terrible could be expressed as a taste, it’d be this. So, it was understandable to some extent that Rodion didn’t want to take sleeping pills like this.

‘I’d rather him do this to Louise so I’d have nothing to worry about.’

Suddenly, Irene, who recalled Louise, sighed.

Louise has been avoiding her ever since she fell ill. Even though they lived in the same room, it was difficult to see her face, so did she have to say more? Irene wanted to hold on and asked her why, but she stopped.

It was because Louise was the one she would part with in some way when all her work was over.

‘More than anything, I’d be in trouble if she asked about Rodion’s condition…’

Knowing that Louise had feelings for Rodion, it seemed difficult for her to answer if asked how Rodion was. To everyone outside, Rodion was seriously injured and was in bed. Besides, if Louise found out that Rodion was obsessed with her…

‘Anyway, I’ve been trying to calm him down in the same way until Rodion is fully stable…’

If this was the only way to go, there was nothing she could do about it. Instead of exchanging long quarrels with him, Irene kissed Rodion. Regardless, she was going to stop once the medicinal effect had worn off from Rodion, and this wasn’t too difficult for her.

When she kissed him first, Rodion looked a little surprised before he immediately curved his eyes and smiled. Kissing Irene’s lips back with a groan, he embraced her and lifted her up onto his thigh.

Irene was taken aback by the sudden change of posture and put her hand on Rodion’s shoulder.

“Young, Young Master.”

“Yes, Rea.”

At the call that leaped out without realizing it, Rodion, who smiled brightly, shoved his hand between her hair as if stroking her hair and gently pulled her by the back of her head.

“Wasn’t that the way it was just now?”

“It’s no fun just doing that.”

I want to do more with Rea.

Whispering so, Rodion turned his head and lightly kissed Irene’s jawline, then to her soft cheeks.

He slowly turned the angle and swallowed the promised price.

The moment the lips overlapped and the gap widened, it seemed as if a small moan leaked out. Rodion scanned the damp interior as if savoring it and tenaciously watched the sensitive response of the woman in his arms.

There was a slight wrinkle on the back of Irene’s nose.

It wasn’t even the first time they kissed, but every time he kissed her, she always reacted like it was always so unfamiliar. It was a pleasure for him now to feel her tight shoulders and the twitching of her waist trapped under his arms.

A stronger desire ran through his mind.
