“Hey, are you sure you should be drinking that many glasses of champagne?” Ethan asked.

“Shut up,” Nicole replied as she continued to sip from the champagne glass in her hand.

Her face was flushed, but the scarlet hue only highlighted her natural beauty.

If not for the fact that there were eight empty glasses right in front of her, anyone who saw her would think that she was blushing after being looked at by Ethan for a long time.

After downing her ninth glass, Nicole called out to the waiter so that he could give her another glass.

“She has already drunk enough,” Ethan said when the waiter got close. “Don’t give her another glass.”Googlᴇ search ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

The waiter nodded in understanding and left to go to the other tables.

Nicole glared at Ethan for getting in the way of her drinking.

“Nicole, what’s going on?” Ethan asked. “You’re not usually like this.”

Nicole didn’t answer as she closed her eyes. Truth be told her vision was starting to turn blurry, and she was feeling a bit drowsy.

Ethan was right.

She wasn’t being herself.

This was actually the first time she had drunk more than two champagne glasses during a gathering.

Of course, she knew that doing so was a bad idea.

But after recalling what the plain-looking girl said to her earlier, she just felt like drinking until she passed out.

Ethan thought that she was drinking like this because of what Vladimir, Constantine, and the Patriarch of the Asta Family, Oscar, had said earlier.

Because of this, he didn’t stop Nicole when she asked for a fourth glass of Champagne.

It was only after she finished her sixth glass that he realized that something was up.

However, Nicole ignored his words and kept on drinking.

She just wanted to get completely knocked out, so she could stop thinking for a while.

‘You should probably take her back to her room before she makes a mess of herself,’ Sebastian commented.

‘A Lady’s reputation is important, so you have to act now before things get out of hand,’ Ethan’s Other Half commented. ‘Also, just to be on the safe side, let her sleep in your room tonight. I don’t trust any of those Asta brats and that Old Man. They might do something while Nicole is knocked out.’

Ethan knew that his Other Half was over-exaggerating. There was no way that Vladimir, Constantine, and Oscar would make a move against them while they were guests in the palace.

But he didn’t disregard the advice of his Other Half.

It was better to be safe than sorry, after all.

“Let’s go, Nicole,” Ethan whispered in Nicole’s ears, making the latter open her eyes. “I’ll listen to what you have to say. I believe that you understand that you can’t make a scene here, or it will reflect badly on you. So don’t resist and come with me.”

Although her mind was hazy, and her vision was slightly blurred, Nicole knew that Ethan was right.

Because of this, she didn’t resist and allowed him to take her back to her room so that she could prevent herself from making a scene.

Although drinking this much might reflect badly on her later, it didn’t mean much to Nicole since she was still able to walk somewhat properly while using Ethan’s arm as support.

Only when they were no longer in sight of other people did her steps falter. But, that was fine.

Ethan was there to catch and support her.

Mary and Sue followed closely behind them.

The two Honorary Knights were their responsibilities, so they would assist them in whatever way they could.

“Just change her clothes, and don’t let her take a bath,” Ethan ordered. “After that, bring her to my room. She will sleep with me for the night.”

Mary’s and Sue’s faces turned beet red after hearing Ethan’s orders.

The two maids were not innocent ladies, and they could easily connect the dots for what the young man wanted to do.

“Understood, Sir Ethan,” Mary said.

“What kind of nightwear do you prefer?” Sue asked. “Black, white, or completely transparent?”

“Make her wear pajamas,” Ethan answered. “Bring her to my room afterward.”

Ethan didn’t know what the two maids were thinking as he returned to his room.

He wasn’t aware that Mary and Sue thought that he had a pajama kink, so they made sure to make Nicole wear pink pajamas to highlight her natural beauty.

“Lady Nicole, your skin is so smooth and beautiful,” Mary commented. “Even as a girl, I can’t help but be attracted to you like this.”

“Indeed,” Sue commented. “Also, she’s lean and toned, and her flesh went to the right places. Just look at these abs. I feel a little envious.”

As a Magical Knight, Nicole trained her body properly, and her discipline was very high. This was why Ethan felt that something big must have happened for her to recklessly get drunk, making her vulnerable in the process.

Nicole was barely awake as the two maids worked together to change her clothes.

Although they originally wanted her to wear pajamas, it was too troublesome to do that.

Also, the two maids were feeling mischievous, so they made Nicole wear a silky one-piece black nightgown, which highlighted their features.

When they were done, Mary went to knock on Ethan’s door, telling him that they had finished changing Nicole’s clothes.

However, they also said that she was too heavy to carry, so if possible, he should carry her himself.

Ethan didn’t find any problems with this arrangement. However, when he saw that the young lady was wearing a black nightgown, he eyed the two maids who met his gaze back without even blinking.

A sigh escaped Ethan’s lips as he carried the sleeping beauty in a princess carry.

Mary and Sue opened the doors of his room for him and followed the young man to the bedroom, where he deposited the lady in his arms onto the bed.

“The two of you may retire for the night,” Ethan said. “I’ll be locking the door to ensure that no one will bother us later.”

“H-How many rounds?” Sue asked.

“Huh?” Ethan blinked. “What rounds?”

“N-Nothing,” Sue stuttered as she hastily retreated.

“Good night, Sir Ethan,” Mary said respectfully. “Please, do things in moderation. Young people these days tend to lose control of themselves when they get into the mood.”

“You’re right,” Ethan replied. “Next time, I’ll make sure that she will only do it four times.”

“F-Four times?!” Sue, who was about to leave exclaimed.

Mary dragged the other maid outside of the room and closed the door behind her.

Ethan wondered why Sue was feeling excited, but he decided that it wasn’t that important.

After firmly locking the door, the young man headed towards the washroom to take a quick shower.

Unlike Nicole, he only drank one glass of champagne and was perfectly sober.

A few minutes later, he dried his body and pulled on the pajamas that were inside his closet.

Nicole was now sleeping peacefully in his bed, and he didn’t want to disturb her.

Fortunately, the bed was big enough for five people, so he didn’t need to sleep on the couch.

While the two Knights were preparing to sleep, the party was still in full swing.

The moment they left, the Nobles started to gossip with each other and even said mean words behind their backs, like they weren’t fit to become Nobles and such.

Those in positions of power, on the other hand, were also talking to each other.

But the content of their discussion was very different from the Noble Ladies, who only liked to gossip about those within their circle.
