Chapter 300: Staying at the Palace

That aside, where was this? The ceiling was a view I had never seen. Her Majesty leaving the palace in the middle of the night was unthinkable, so it had to be somewhere inside the palace.

"Um, where is this?"

I asked, and Anouk leaned in from the side.

"It is a reception room near the entrance of the rear palace. Her Majesty cannot go outside the palace at night, so this is the room where Her Majesty and the consorts meet with men. Please do not concern yourself."

Then Her Majesty added,

"You may stay lying in this room until morning. Lord Marie still cannot move his body, can you?"

I tried to lift a hand. It would not move. My fingers would, though. Eyes, mouth, and fingers. That was all.

"My fingers can move now."

Her Majesty said,

"No. Take the safe course. Page, you will not move Lord Marie. You will stay with him tonight. Leave him be."

"Understood."

Lily answered, and Her Majesty said,

"Then we will withdraw. Time should take care of the rest. I have had the same experience myself."

They left the room one after another. "One after another" was only three people. Her Majesty, Anouk, and Dee.

Once it was just Lily and me, Lily’s face changed at once.

"Lord Robbie, tell me anything. Lily will do it for you. Please lean on me."

This girl. Her stance was exactly a mother nursing a sick child. She kept staring at my face, so I shut my eyes.

After a while the urge came. Not that kind. The living kind. I needed to piss. My body still would not move. I could not even roll over. My wrists had started to move a little.

Which meant I would have to have Lily help me piss. Help was the polite word. I would have to leave it to her and go. No, wait. I had made her drink semen any number of times, and now the idea of her taking my piss made me embarrassed. The act was the same. Only what came out was different. Why was this so embarrassing? It was strange, but embarrassing was embarrassing. Could I hold it until morning? Thinking that only made it feel like it was pooling faster... maybe I was already done for? Maybe not?

"Lily."

"Yes, Lord Robbie? What is it?"

For some reason she sounded happy. Was nursing me that much fun?

"No, um, what... Lily. I need to piss. I want to go."

"Hah? Piss. Ah, piss? Aaaah, I understand! A chamber pot! I will go ask!"

Hearing "piss" somehow raised her pitch. What about that was exciting?

Lily stood and flew to the door. There seemed to be a watch at the open door. They talked. I already knew the content. I want to piss, so lend us a chamber pot!

"Yes! Understood! I will fetch one at once!!"

A young soldier’s voice carried into the quiet room. Then the sound of him running. Tat tat tat.

Lily came all the way back on purpose.

"Lord Robbie, please wait. Only a little longer!"

Bright voice, for some reason. I knew no one else was in here, but did she not know how to keep her voice down?

For a while the going had been only the soldier’s footsteps. Coming back, there were two sets. Soldier steps and heels. A bad feeling.

"Miss Lily, I brought it. I searched and searched and finally found one!"

The bad feeling landed. Anouk’s high, bright voice from the doorway. If Anouk was here, something worse was about to happen.

"Miss Lily, I brought the chamber pot."

"Ah, thank you. That helps."

"Good that there was one. What would you have done if there was not? Ufufufu."

"Who knows. Put it in a wine glass, perhaps?"

"My! Then it would be the same as the medicine!"

"Oh, that is true. Ohohoho!"

I did not know what was funny, but the mood from a moment ago had flipped 180 degrees. They were getting along just fine.

"But it is strange, is it not?"

Anouk said.

"What is?"

Lily asked, and Anouk went on.

"Is it not strange? Medicine and piss come from the same hole. Why would two completely different things come from one hole?"

"That is true. Why would that be?"

The two of them left me there with a full bladder and ran a worthless debate.

"Hey, Lily. I am about to go. Anouk, thank you. That is enough, so could you leave?"

I wanted Anouk out of the room so I could piss. Then a devil dropped onto Anouk’s head.

"Miss Lily, may I stay? I would like to watch Lord Robbie piss."

"My!"

Lily was shocked. Yes, Lily. Refuse her.

"Anouk, you may watch, but watching only. I am the one who touches Lord Robbie."

Eh!? Lily, what are you saying!

"Lily, no! Anouk, do not look! There is nothing interesting to see!"

Lily heard me and laughed, kukuku.

"Lord Robbie always says no, and then this part stands straight up. Once the fire is lit it will not stop, they say. Ufufufu."

Worthless talk. Anouk added,

"My, is that so? Then I will have a look. Ufufu."

Lily and Anouk were sinking into the bog. Anything I said to these two was wasted. I would just have to take it. What kind of penalty game was this!?

In the end Lily held it and I emptied into the chamber pot. After that Anouk made a worthless suggestion.

"Well then, shall we try whether medicine comes out this time?"

Lily climbed on board, and I was made to let out the thick white stuff... twice. Even with a body that would not move, that part still woke up. I hated my own body for it.
