Reincarnated Maid is About To Be Captured by All Players

This request was somewhat...

I tilted my head in slight confusion, but Chris insisted that I couldn't complete it and couldn't wait to push me onto the bed.

"Chris, your request is rather too vague..."

What kind of operation is milk tea without the tea?

"Don't worry about such details."

I felt Chris was probably deliberately making things difficult for me.

With a "click," both my hands were secured above my head.

Raising my body to look up, those were the handcuffs I had cleaned this morning. Probably an invention brought by adventurers. The handcuffs went around one of the palace sculpture-like pillars at the head of the bed, then separately restrained both my wrists. In principle, I couldn't escape from the secured handcuffs... but actually, I could easily free myself by using partial phasing.

I felt no panic about this. What truly concerned me was Chris.

Like a wall slam, she had me trapped in a narrow space, though the scene was on a bed, and no one uses both hands for a wall slam.

"Chris?"

Under the slightly dim lighting, Chris's wine-red eyes were tender as water, and my heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.

This is bad... it's the feeling of being moved...

"Anna."

Chris parted her rosy lips and smiled as she called my name.

"I like you."

I reflexively responded: "I like Lady Christiana too."

"Not that kind of liking. I want Anna to become my bride."

"...Are you teasing me?"

"No, I'm super serious. I'm willing to swear before the Father God."

Chris and I looked into each other's eyes for three seconds. Chris's expression was incredibly sincere, and today wasn't April Fool's Day either.

Let me make this clear—I had seen Chris's body when we were in the hot springs, and she had even specifically shown it to me.

There was nothing like a dragon's gleaming silver spear down there. I was once a man, after all. There's no way I could be mistaken.

Chris was an authentic daughter through and through.

"Anna probably doesn't understand... so let me explain."

Chris cleared her throat, her wonderful voice flowing into my mind.

"I, Christiana, daughter of Count Montefeltro, like Anastasia and want to become Anna's lifelong, inseparable partner."

My brain cells worked hard to process Chris's statement.

"Lady Christiana is a girl."

"Yes."

"I'm also a girl."

"Mm-hmm~"

"And then, Lady Christiana says she wants to marry me?"

"Correct!" Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs NoveI(F)ire.net

Wait, what? Me???

"Could it be that Count Montefeltro wants you to pretend to be male to become the family heir, and needs a partner who knows the inside story?"

"It's not that. I told you it's me, Christiana. If Anna still doesn't understand, let me be more direct. While I don't dislike men... I prefer girls."

"?!"

"Using the adventurers' terminology, it's called... yuri, I think?"

"Please, please wait! This is too sudden, I..."

So it's not ordinary affection, but Chris (♀) → Anna (♀) kind of liking?

"It's normal for Anna to have trouble accepting this... Generally speaking, girls don't fall in love with girls, right?"

"Yes..."

"But I'm not ordinary, and Anna is equally special in my eyes, so I like Anna."

"But, but, but, but—"

My responses were becoming incoherent. Organizing my thoughts, it did make sense logically. I had long heard that Chris's household only employed young, cute female servants, and she had mentioned things like eloping and marriage with me before. However, I had never imagined that Chris actually liked girls.

The kind of liking that led to wanting marriage, and I happened to be that lucky person.

A trace of loneliness appeared on Chris's serious face.

"I've caused Anna trouble, haven't I? After all, Anna surely likes men."

"Uh, I can't exactly say that..."

I couldn't confess to Chris that I was once a man… Even if I told her, Chris probably wouldn't believe it. Before coming to the Lemoria continent, I had assisted the Young Miss's father and didn't reject my male master, but to say I liked him would be...

However, my hesitation seemed to give Chris a glimmer of hope, and she immediately swept away her previous gloom.

"Could it be that Anna likes girls just like me?!"

"Maybe... I guess..."

I answered hesitantly. Even with my changed gender, I certainly wouldn't reject beautiful girls, but when it came to the degree of discussing marriage, that wasn't accepted by the world, was it?

My sexual orientation... is straight...

"I love you the most! Anna! I've never confessed before, and I was worried it might fail!"

"Please calm down... I didn't say I'd agree to Lady Christiana... Besides, isn't your confession method a bit..."

I moved the handcuffs above my head, creating a ringing sound as they collided with the sculpture railing.

Putting aside the result of the confession, who handcuffs someone during a confession? If Chris were a different gender, I would have definitely treated Chris as a pervert and fought back.

"This is just my personal hobby."

"Your hobbies are quite unique..."

"I got a little carried away and became addicted to it, and it gave me the courage to like girls even as a girl myself."

"What?"

"Because I have these, I can also let the person I'm interested in experience the joy of being a girl, so I don't necessarily have to marry a man, right?"

"I don't understand what you're saying..."

Chris smiled mysteriously: "Does Anna want to understand?"
