No, actually, am I a little happy?

Embarrassing, but… is it somewhat satisfying?

It feels like I’ve become someone important to him.

‘Hmm…’

Staring at myself in the mirror, gently touching the pattern, I was startled when I heard the sound of water overflowing from the bathtub.

‘…Well, let’s take a bath.’

Sighing deeply, I approached the bathtub, turned on the faucet, and immersed myself in the warm water.

The fact that magical engineering has advanced, allowing us to always use clean and warm water, is a good thing.
Of course, this is a convenience that doesn’t apply to the lower class.

‘Do I have to consider myself lucky? Possessing the body of a royal and marrying a high-ranking noble?’

Thinking about various complicated thoughts, I gazed up at the ceiling.

Before the possession, I was just a commoner who paid a small monthly sponsorship. The sponsorship, collected by part-time jobs and allowances as a university student, wasn’t that much.

It probably wouldn’t be much different even after becoming a working adult. Everyone knows that the starting salary for a regular worker is low. Besides, I didn’t have an impressive educational background to be employed by a large company.

‘But now, I’m a diamond spoon.’

There’s so much I can do with a diamond spoon. In any world, as long as you have money, there’s nothing you can’t do. It’s bitter, but… let’s use this bitter truth to our advantage this time.

‘Even if I can’t save all the suins, I’ve decided to save as many as possible.’

…Alright, once we resolve Greian’s imprint situation and the issues in the Alphonse region, I’ll start planning for a proper business.

If there are difficulties, I’ll discuss them with Greian. …Now, it seems like a relationship where it’s okay to do that.

‘A wolf suin, a lifelong companion to love…’

…Thinking about that, my mood somehow became peculiar.

I submerged under the water. My heart was beating rapidly.

“You did well. Knights, go and rest.”

“Yes…! Duchess!”

The knights who bathed the wolf bowed deeply to me. Since the revelation of the person Greian imprinted on, the attitude of the knights had significantly changed from before.

What should I say? It felt like they were looking up to me a bit more? Or a feeling of awe? Anyway, it felt like that. Imprinting seems to be a tremendous event in the wolf suin society.

“…Then, shall we go as well? Come this way.”

After the knights left the room, I approached the bed and spoke, and the wolf followed me eagerly. It wagged its tail, making a distinctly
I don’t know if that’s the case or not. It just feels foolish. I gently scratched the chin of the foolish wolf and muttered to myself.

“I never even dreamed that you would imprint on me… Seriously.”

“Woof.”

“…Why me? Greian, do you like me?”

Suddenly, the wolf that had been calm jumped up, covered me abruptly, and started licking my face like crazy.

“Ugh.”

I screamed internally, tightly closing my mouth and eyes.

When I finally felt that the licking sensation had stopped, I cautiously opened my eyes and saw the wolf, which had climbed on top of me, staring down at me intently.

“…”

Why, why is it staring at me like that? It feels awkward for some reason. It’s already quite awkward… Nervously glancing at the wolf, there was a sudden change in its behavior.

“…!”

In an instant, the wolf, or rather, Greian, who had transformed into a human form, faintly smiled at me.

I couldn’t sense any humanity in his silver-gray eyes. All that remained was pure wildness.

At that moment, Arwin’s words suddenly came to mind.

‘Perhaps during the night, for a short time, the duchess will return to a human form. However, she will still be in a state no different from a beast, so be careful.’

Yes, he definitely said that she would be in a state no different from a beast.

So, Greian’s current state… looks like a human, but mentally, it’s closer to a wolf.

“Um… why does this feel uneasy.”

Or rather.

Suddenly, Greian embraced me as if to surprise me. Startled, I stiffened, and just like when Greian was in wolf form, he began licking my face.

“Ugh, crazy!”

Pushing him away and struggling, Greian released his arms that had been tightly holding me and looked down at me with a pitiful expression.

Where… where is the pitiful act! This cheeky wolf!

I pinched his cheek and said, “Duke, get a hold of yourself! This will go down as a dark history, you know?”

“Heeeng…”

“…?”

Wha- Did I just hear that?

In surprise, I blinked rapidly and barely managed to speak.

“Don’t jump on me anymore and sleep quietly. Got it? Move aside quickly!”

Greian surprisingly stepped back obediently, but as he did so, he cheekily stole a kiss from my lips. Then, with an embarrassed look, he blushed quite ridiculously.

I meticulously covered Greian, who was lying quietly next to me, with the blanket. …Come to think of it, this person was in the state of half-undressed transformation.

“…”

I might really go crazy. I pulled the blanket all the way up to Greian’s neck.

“Sigh, really…”

As cute as the wolf form may be, I hope he comes to his senses soon. It’s overwhelming!
