Chapter 71. Heart-Pounding Summer Vacation!
“…Lady, who wears that sack-like dressing gown these days?”
“Yes? But I can wear a dress.”
“Oh, really. This is so boring! Just wait a moment!”
Milena, kicking tongue with her innocent face, rushed out to her room. She seemed to have completely forgotten that she was pregnant, so she narrowed her eyes in confusion and sighed deeply.
Meanwhile, Milena entered Henelone’s room, waving her clothes in her hands.
“Now! This is the bathing gown that is popular among the capital’s nobility these days!”
“Milena, please take care of your body… no, it’s too thin…..!”
What Milena proudly held out was her white gown made of white fabric.
The neckline that covered the neck down, the long sleeves, and the ankle-length gown were identical to the gown Henelone had brought, but the material was different.
“This is muslin!”
Henelone, who received the bathing gown from Milena, was astonished and raised her voice. It was much thicker than a chemise worn as pajamas, but it was too thin compared to a wool gown.
Henelone, disgusted as if she had seen something she should not have seen, threw the thin bathing gown onto the bed.
“If I get w*t, my whole body will be exposed!”
“Oh my, my! It’s not that thin?! Also, it’s best when your body is exposed just enough!”
“But I’m n*ked inside!”
“That’s why they wear it. Men are so nervous about it. Ho-ho!”
Henelone, at a loss for words, looked at Milena with her bewildered face. The strangely confident look in her eyes was annoying. It was as if she had experienced it herself… No way?
“…Could it be brother……?”
“Oh my, oh-ho-ho! Oh my, that’s it…”
“…It’s okay. Don’t tell me.”
Henelone, who resolutely interrupted Milena’s words as she blushed and stroked her stomach, got up from her seat and headed to her bathroom. She never wanted to hear any of her brother’s personal anecdotes.

“…It’s pretty.”
Henelone, standing in front of the clear water lapping at her feet, muttered absently.
After taking a quick shower, she was about to go down to the beach, but Milena had already fallen asleep. She didn’t feel like going to the beach alone, so she came down to the first floor.
Although it was a little disappointing, she quite liked the swimming pool, which was just as beautiful as the beach.
Transparent water shining under a clear, cloudless sky beyond the blooming orange jasmine. The scent of orange jasmine flowers mixed with the pleasantly gentle salty sea breeze.
Henelone closed her eyes and deeply inhaled the now quite familiar scent. Is it because of the strong scent? It seemed as if Heinz was very close by.
“Henelone.”
She woke up to a familiar voice calling her, turned around, and saw Heinz walking out among the lush orange jasmine.
He is well over 6 feet tall and has wide, straight shoulders. Thick torso and slim hips that radiate presence over a thin shirt. And underneath, his thighs were swollen as if they were about to explode.
Henelone’s mouth fell open at the sight of the man, who was wearing only a white shirt and dark blue pants, but exuded an intimidating force.
“…Heinz?”
“Hm. What were you doing?”
“Ah, I wanted to watch the sea later…”
She sees him all the time, so why is it so unfamiliar? Henelone responded with an awkward smile and took a step back to avoid Heinz, who was approaching.
Her mind was dizzy with the thick floral scent that she couldn’t tell if it was the scent of flowers or his scent.
“Why don’t you come down?”
“…Milena fell asleep. I was going to go to the beach with her when she woke up.”
“Right.”
Heinz responded by nodding his head, then turned his gaze and looked down at the beach spread out below the cliff. She too pretended to follow his gaze towards the beach, but she couldn’t stop her eyes from returning to him again and again.
The atmosphere was somehow unfamiliar compared to when they were in the capital. She looked blankly at the sea contained in the soft red eyes, and soon their eyes met. Henelone, startled, flinched, and rolled her eyes.
“Shall we go down together?”
“Uh… to the beach?”
“Yes. There is something I want to show you.”
What do you want to show?
Henelone, with her eyes wide open, did her best to hide the smile that was slowly blooming.
He seemed busy the whole way, so she thought they wouldn’t be able to enjoy their summer vacation together. Are you a little more relaxed now? A pounding, pleasant excitement filled her heart.
However, she suddenly began to be very concerned about the loose-fitting indoor clothes that were thrown on and the messy hair that had not been dried properly.
“Can I change my clothes and come?”
“Okay. I’ll wait here.”
As soon as she heard the answer, Henelone turned around and hurried into the annex.
***
On the fine white shining sand, a shade cloth with a canopy so thin that it appears transparent and sunbeds with thick cushions.
She wondered if this was what he wanted to show her. Heinz did not stop walking and walked deeper into the beach. Henelone looked at Heinz alternately at the shade tent, which looked quite cozy, and then opened her mouth.
“Heinz, how far are we going?”
“We’re here.”
Turning her head back, Henelone almost hit Heinz’s back as she looked wistfully at the receding shade, and stumbled to a halt.
But she couldn’t see anything because of his large frame.
“Where are we….”
Henelone stuck her head out from behind Heinz’s back and her mouth fell open, unable to continue speaking.
A pure white yacht tied under the lush tree branches was lying on the fine sandy beach, boasting an elegant appearance.
