=CHAPTER 23=

A ray of light shone through the window.

Disturbed by this, Y/N opened an eye.

She saw the faint silhouette of two people.

"...Huh...?!"

One of the silhouettes got closer and she could see red and black colors on them.

The person took their hands and held them.

"Good morning, Liebling~"

She now could see the faint figure of Reich.

"...Ah... Yeah, good morning Reich...?"

Reich was still standing there, next to her bed.

She could now see better and she saw the genuine smile he had plastered on his face.

Did something good happen...?

Suddenly, the other person spoke:

"Mein Fuhrer, with all due respect, isn't it maybe a bit too much to come visit someone just when they awoke?"

Reich was surprised and he looked at the person.

"Ah. You're right. What's your name, maid?"

"My name is Astrid."

"Of course, Astrid. You're right. Would you mind excusing yourself? I want to talk to miss Y/N in private. I'll mind my manners next time."

"Of course. I'll be right outside the door if you need me."

"Thank you, miss Astrid."

Astrid walked away sending a knowing look at Y/N.

When the door finally closed, Reich looked back at Y/N.

"Liebling? May I sit on the bed?"

"Why are you asking?"

"I would find it more comfortable if I could sit next to you and I just find it very rude to not ask a woman's opinion. Maybe you don't want me closer now. Either way, it's your bed and it would be rude to just sit on it without asking you first..."

"Oh, of course. Sit."

"Thank you, darling."

He sat on the bed making sure he didn't sit on something.

Then, he looked at her and took her hands again.

He put hers into his bigger ones and he caressed them with his thumbs.

He had a worried look.

"Tell me, darling, how do you feel?"

"How do I feel? I feel fine?"

His worried expression became happier somehow.

"That's a relief... I forgot to ask you yesterday and I realized it later... I couldn't sleep that night thinking you might be actually suffering... So, I slept outside the door, just in case. I'm sorry if I caused an inconvenience to you or your maids..."

"Huh..? But I didn't even notice! It's fine...!"

"No, I must apologize for my irresponsible actions. I was too carefree and happy yesterday after what happened so I forgot about everything else. You can punish me whichever way you prefer."

Y/N was flabbergasted.

She just woke up and this guy is apologizing for something so small.

And he's asking her to punish him.
