“Really? Even though the palace management requested an article, did the biased media readily accept it?”
Klaus’s purple eyes showed a suspicious glint.
I laughed softly.
“The editor didn’t know I was in charge of the palace management. I went without cross-dressing.”
“What?”
Klaus’s expression twisted strangely.
“So, without cross-dressing… You mean as a woman…?”
I’m not sure why he looks so bewildered, but anyway, I confirmed positively.
“Yes, that’s correct.”
He asked in a somewhat scared voice.
“Then what about me?”
“Well…?”
I didn’t understand for a moment why he looked so bewildered. Anyway, I answered positively.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“I’m the only person who knows your true identity, but I also want to see your original appearance.”
My original appearance. That expression was quite refreshing.
Musel is originally a man. In other words, my basic form is male.
Moreover, since I have become quite accustomed to living as a man rather than as a woman, even I hesitated on whether to perceive my outwardly visible original appearance as a woman or a man.
However, Klaus, who has never seen me as a woman, naturally designated my unseen, feminine appearance as the ‘original.’
It felt strange somehow.
“Well, if there’s an opportunity to show you, then someday…”
“When is that?”
Klaus persistently asked, not backing down unless I gave a specific date.
I hesitated for a moment on what to do and asked him.
“When would be convenient for you?”
“Tonight is fine.”
“Yes, huh?”
Suddenly, my heart started pounding. Tonight? Did he say tonight?
In the middle of the night, an adult woman going to an adult man’s room, completely unnoticed.
The easiest situation to imagine with just four words combined like this.
“W-Why all of a sudden?”
“If it’s inconvenient for you, there’s nothing I can do, but I mean tonight is completely fine.”
Klaus looked at me with a casual expression.
“Ah…”
He seemed so nonchalant that I felt embarrassed in an instant. I must have misunderstood it all by myself.
Maybe he just wanted to see out of curiosity. After all, he has never seen me in women’s clothes.
Except for Lumie, Klaus is the only person who knows my identity.
And Lumie has seen me in a female appearance when we met before.
So, it could be natural for Klaus, as someone who knows my identity, to want to see the appearance without cross-dressing.
Pull yourself together, Eojin. You’ve made a fuss over nothing.
Feeling embarrassed, I discreetly cleared my throat and said.
“Well then…”
While doing so, I slightly lowered my head to avoid his gaze. If he finds out what I imagined, he’ll surely find it ridiculous.
“I’ll show you tonight.”
I couldn’t see Klaus’s expression.
Without looking at his face, I stepped back.
After a long time past the evening hours, I took advantage of the absence of servants in the corridor and quietly left my room.
“…”
I held my breath and took slow steps. In one hand, I tightly grasped a bag with the only dress for going out.
I didn’t bring any makeup tools. There seemed to be no need for heavy makeup to show my original appearance.
I passed through the quiet corridor and reached Klaus’s bedroom.
The escort knight guarding in front of his room recognized me and willingly stepped aside.
I also lightly bowed towards him and casually passed in front of him as if reporting for official business. The knight didn’t pay any attention to the bag in my hand.
“Phew.”
It’s not the first time heading to Klaus’s bedroom in the dark night. However, given the circumstances, I felt unusually tense this time.
Opening the door, I felt the familiar texture of the carpet beneath my feet, and I lightly bent my body towards the black shadow visible on one side of the room.
“Your Highness, it’s Musel.”
Due to heightened tension more than usual, my chest fluttered, and my breath quickened.
“Come on in.”
The black shadow sitting on the sofa gestured as if inviting me closer.

Short scene 2:
