Chirp… chirp.
“….”
Iris opened her eyes amidst the cool autumn breeze brushing against her cheek, the morning sunlight, and the chirping of the birds.
As always, a bit late in the morning.
Arthur wasn’t there, but Brodie was, and a knight was at the door.
And Professor Lorensen was sitting at the table, pouring tea and waiting for Iris to wake up.
It was a sweet morning.
“….”
She was surprised at how she had become used to waking up late in a clean and cozy bed, even after more than ten years of being a maid.
She felt sorry for her body that wanted to stay here a bit longer, snuggled up under the covers, enjoying the happiness.
If she returned to a life of sleeping three hours a day, she wouldn’t be able to adjust in a week.
She would miss this clean, warm bed when she returned to the damp bedding on the rotten wooden bed.
“….”
Iris rose with a sigh.
Usually, Brodie would have approached her to drape a shawl around her so she wouldn’t have to get up in her pajamas in front of the knight and the doctor….
“….?”
Iris was fully dressed.
She remembered that last night….
The faint scent of wine that remained on her breath brushed past the tip of her nose.
Slowly, the memories of last night returned.
···

···
What was it called?
Lunaha, a very precious and expensive topclass wine.
It was the very wine that Empress and Emperor had shared three nights before their wedding, brought personally by Karl Klein, the Oribe of Empress.
“….”
Having heard such a story, Iris could not refuse the glass offered by the Crown Prince.
Because she knew how much the Crown Prince cherished Arthur, and the significance he attached to this occasion.
Rather die drinking.
In the seat named after Miss Christina, she could not refuse that glass.
“This wine is the same age as Arthur.”
The Crown Prince said with a proud expression.
It was a tradition in the royal family to present wine made in the year of a child’s birth when the child came of age and got married.
He smiled, saying that he had a hard time finding that wine because he wanted to give it to Arthur.
It was the most precious and expensive wine from Lunaha, the origin of all wines, that the old royal family had monopolized for hundreds of years, only drinking privately, so even some nobles couldn’t taste it.
He said it was a wine from a famous vineyard that the royal family is currently monopolizing every year.
Although she doubted whether she should be allowed to taste such wine….
She didn’t know. It was too late to avoid it.
Thus, the Crown Prince, poured a glass each for Arthur and Iris of the very precious wine with historical significance.
And then filled his own glass.
With a broad smile, the Crown Prince slightly raised his glass and gave a short toast.
“For Arthur and Lady.”
The red wine in the glass looked like a gleaming ruby.
The glasses made a clear sound as they lightly clinked.
And the Crown Prince pulled his glass back towards him with a smile and added,
“And for Ryan Dalton.”
Arthur also finally chuckled and brought his glass to his lips.
The sour and fragrant liquor shimmered brilliantly in the crystal glass.
Iris, keeping up with the pace of the two men, placed her glass against her lips and held the wine in her mouth.
The unique woody aroma and the delicate, soft sweet taste spread throughout her mouth.
And that was it.
···
···
···
“….”
Well, what could she do?
She did her best.
Iris just fainted.
But she drank that one glass.
She wasn’t sure whether she should be proud of herself for having done her duty and died heroically, or whether she should be troubled.
“Miss, are you okay?”
Brodie came over and asked.
“Ah, yes.”
“You slept uncomfortably in your clothes….”
Brodie said apologetically, almost as if making an excuse.
“Usually, Sir Arthur would tell me to change you when you sleep in your clothes…. but today, he didn’t say anything. I came late and didn’t know. I’m sorry. You must have been uncomfortable.”
“Ah….”
Sir Arthur?
Oh, Sir Arthur….
“Do you need help changing?”
“Oh, yes….”
Awkwardly, Iris took Brodie’s hand and stood up to go behind the curtain to change into a comfortable dress.
“….”
Did Sir Arthur have a good talk with His Highness the Crown Prince yesterday?
I wonder if it ended well.
I fell asleep again yesterday….
“….”
He seemed genuinely concerned about Sir Arthur….
Is Sir Arthur with His Highness the Crown Prince right now?
With Brodie’s help, Reyna undressed from the dress she had been wearing since yesterday.
…I wonder if I’ll meet the Crown Prince again today?
She felt selfconscious about needing to wear makeup like Miss ‘Christina’ because of the Crown Prince and it bothered her that today’s maid wasn’t Marina.
Would Brodie be doing the makeup today?
Marina’s help made her look a bit more like a lady…
As Reyna slid her arm into the comfortable indoor dress Brodie offered, she casually asked,
“Where is Marina?”
Brodie whispered back in a hushed voice, barely moving her lips.

Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
