Her Devotion As A Knight ✔

Chapter 5

I feel so calm and relaxed. Man, I don't think I will ever get used to sleeping in such a comfortable bed. I've been sleeping so well these past couple of days. This bed is so squishy and cozy. I almost don't want to get up because of how comfortable I am right now. I don't think anything can disturb me. Just then a loud banging sound rings throughout the room and a pile of footsteps scurry into the room. I squeeze my eyes shut at the loud noise. What on earth?!

"Up and at 'hem!" A male voice yells with a laugh after that. I go to open my eyes, but all I met with is a river of water coming down onto me. When the cold water reaches my bare skin, I jolt up in bed in shock. I glance around the room to see Haku and two other knights standing there with a bucket in their hands, laughing their asses off. I stare at them in shock. "Morning Rikiya~." I look up at Haku in shock for a moment. He simply laughs at my shocked face before he and the other two knights rush out of the room with the bucket in their hands. Why didn't I see this coming?

"Rikiya?" I hear a different, more calmer, male voice ask. I glance up to see Lute walk into the room with a concerned expression.

"Oh, uh, hey Lute," I greet him awkwardly as I squeeze out the dripping, cold water from my hair. Haku, that asshole. Clover, what do you see in that guy?

"Why is your hair all wet?" Lute asks in confusion as he looks at me, "In fact, while are you soaking wet?"

"Haku, being the jerk that he is, and a couple of other knights came in and poured a bucket of ice cold water on me," I explain with a sigh. Lute gives me a sympathetic look. "So, yeah, now I'm soaking wet." As he is about to respond we hear a loud yell coming from down the hall.

"Get your ass up Shion!" Haku's loud voice rings through the hallway.

"Haku! You son of a bitch!" Shion exclaims angrily. Oh boy. Looks like Haku did it to Shion too.

"Run run run!" Haku says hurriedly as he pushes at the two other knights. The three of them race down the hallway with Shion hot on their trail. Oh my god, Shion is shirtless. I can feel my face start to heat up. My god, those abs though. Geez, I almost wish that I didn't just see that. Once they are gone, Lute looks back to me.

"So.....," I start, but then trail off as I scratch the back of my head awkwardly.

"Do you need me to help?" Lute asks curiously with a neutral expression. I shake my head as I hold the poofy covers against my chest, so that Lute can't see my boobs. "But you must be cold." Yes, I hadn't noticed when Haku and his friends came in and drenched me with water.

"Thanks for offering, but I'm fine," I respond as I try to hint to him to leave now.

"Alright, I'll leave you to it then," Lute answers with a nod as he gestures to the door, "Don't be late." I nod in response as I watch him leave. I let out a breath when I hear the door close and I remove the covers from my drenched body. I'm so freaking cold. I sigh as I quickly change into my uniform. That was a close call. I almost got caught. I've got to be more careful of the fact that I'm just pretending to be a boy.

Well, I'm freezing right now, so I guess I'll take a quick, warm shower. I hobble my way into the bathroom and close the door, locking it behind me. I turn the water to hot and step into the shower. The warm water touches my shivering body and I relax. Much better. Unfortunately, my shower isn't that long because I don't want to be late. Once I'm out of the shower, I quickly get dressed and then head out of my room. As I leave my room, four figures rush past me making my short hair blow forward. What in the world was that?! I look down the hall to see halfnaked Shion still chasing after Haku and two other knights. Oi, they're still at it? I roll my eyes at their behavior and head in the same direction as they went. I follow them down the stairs. Oh lord. If the king sees Shion halfnaked. Oh god, I don't even want to know how he'll react. I let out a sigh as I walk down the stairs. Lute's at the bottom of the stairs watching them with a disapproving look.
