“Ahhh~”
Lilly let out a surprised yelp but didn’t resist. Max held her in his chest for a few seconds. He then cupped her face gently and looked into her eyes.
“I love you, Lilly.” He confessed. Lilly had a very shocked expression on her face. She didn’t expect him to confess to her, a lowly maid.
A moment later her eyes were filled with tears. She was happy. She knew that she loved him and also cared for her and she could feel that after he woke up from the coma he was attracted to her and that was the reason she gave him her body. She was happy when he didn’t reject and actively sought her even if it were only to satisfy his lust.
“Do you love me?” He asked wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.
“Mhm… Y-Yes… Yes, I do.” She hurriedly nodded.
“Good. From now on you’ll call me Max when we are alone okay. And soon enough I’ll give you the status you deserved.” He said looking into her eyes.
Surprisingly, Lilly shook her head. “No Y- Max, it’s okay. If you want to give the status do it after I also have become strong. That way I won’t feel that I’m unworthy to be by your side.”
Max looked at her incredulously. After thinking for a bit about it, he understood her thoughts. Although she also loved him and wanted to be with him and she was very happy to hear that he wanted to marry her but at the same time, she also felt that if she did marry him now. Everyone especially his family members would not approve of him marrying a lowly maid.
Even more, now that they knew that he was no longer the same as before and was becoming a powerful mage after his show of strength in the beast tide. She would also not feel good when others pointed at her. So, she wanted to become strong, strong enough to be worthy of becoming his wife.
This was easier now as after the beast tide incident everyone knew about her strength and that she was also a novice mage. You can say that the beast tide was advantageous to her in this way. She didn’t have to explain anything to anyone or more like, they didn’t have time to question her.
Max Knew what she was thinking but he thought that she was downplaying herself so he said “You don’t have to think like that. You are a very strong and talented girl. You already are a novice mage and soon would be a one-star mage. And most importantly you have also awakened your ice element, all that you’ve achieved without anyone’s help. You…”
Max was interrupted by her mid-speech “No young… No Max please allow me to do it.” She insisted.
Max shook his head inwardly at her unusual stubborn behaviour. He could only sigh at this “Okay we will do as you say.”
Lilly smiled hearing this and didn’t say anything.
“Okay let me take a bath. I’ve sweated a lot just now.” Max let go of her and stood up to go to the bathroom.
Watching him stand up and go toward the bathroom Lilly hesitated for a moment but finally asked in a low voice while looking down “M-Max can I ask you something?” Her voice was soft to the point where if he wasn’t close to her and there was silence in the room, Max wouldn’t have heard it.
He turned to look at her and said “Yeah sure. Ask away.” He became curious as this was the first time Lilly was asking him something.
“W-What will be my sta-status when we marry?” She asked. From her stammering voice, it was clear that she was very anxious about it.𝑜𝓋𝑳xt.𝗇𝓔t
“What do you mean? Won’t you be my wife then?” Max asked, puzzled.
Lilly looked at him for a moment, speechless. When she remembered that after he woke up from his coma, he seemed to have forgotten everything. She explained “As a noble and given that you’ve become a two-star mage in such a short time, you will most likely become even stronger, you can marry many women but not all can have the status to be the main wife. There can only be one wife, the rest of them will have the status of concubine.”
Max now understood this. He curiously asked, “Who is the main wife of my father?”
Lilly was taken aback by his question but she answered “From what I heard, It was Lady Hannah, your mother.”
Max nodded hearing this. He didn’t even know why he asked this question. He then looked at her and said
“You’ll still be my wife. So don’t underestimate yourself and from this moment onwards you are no longer a maid but my girlfriend. So dress like one.” His voice was a bit authoritative, so Lilly unconsciously nodded her head.
He went to the bathroom after finishing his sentence.
Lilly sat there on the bed, her expression frozen. After a while, her expression became cheerful like a little girl who finally has her wish granted.
“I’ll be his main wife…” She muttered with a dreamy look on her face.
…
After a while, Max came out in his bathrobe. He saw that Lilly was lying on the bed, her body was covered with the silky white blanket.
“Are you sleeping…” Max didn’t continue his sentence when he noticed her dress lying on the floor beside the bed. His eyes blazed with lust and his little brother became hard after realising what this situation meant.
Lilly looked at him with love-filled eyes. After hearing his words earlier, she decided to please him as it has been a few days since they had sex.
Max reached the bed and slowly pulled down the blanket revealing her flawless body. Lilly covered her breasts with one hand and her sacred area with another. Her legs clenched tight.
