Chapter 2: Cross Dressing?!
She continued to watch my body with an eager gaze. I sighed helplessly. Back in the village, most of the girls were always eager to help me, especially when it came to washing by the riverside. So, I was used to it—it didn't bother me too much.
But her touch... it was different. Every gentle brush of her hand against my skin sent a strange tingle through me. It wasn't unpleasant, but it wasn't something I was used to either. She washed every inch of my body with meticulous care, as if trying to memorize every detail. By the time she was done, my face had flushed a deep red. She gave a satisfied nod and began drying me off with a soft towel.
Feeling awkward but curious, I broke the silence, my voice barely above a whisper, "Your Majesty, could you perhaps tell me... why did you help bathe me?"
My eyes met hers with innocent curiosity, and I could tell she felt it—my sincerity was palpable.
Her cheeks turned pink, and she looked away for a moment before gently putting some clothes on me. "Hmm... don't ask questions unless I give you permission, okay?" Her tone was calm, but I could sense the embarrassment behind it.
I simply nodded, choosing not to press further. Once she finished dressing me, she didn't waste any time. Taking my hand, we walked through the hallways toward her private chambers.
As we passed maids and servants, I could feel their amused stares. Their eyes lingered on me with a mixture of curiosity and mischief, making me feel self-conscious. I tried to keep my gaze low and make myself as small as possible.
While walking, I realized that I barely reached her shoulder in height. That annoyed me slightly, but I kept my feelings to myself.
When we finally reached her room, she closed the door behind us and turned to face me. Her cheeks were flushed again—this time with anticipation. Without warning, she pushed me gently onto the bed and began undressing me once more.
