Reborn as the Princess' Knight (GL)

Chapter 63: Vanilla is a Pegasus, not a Horsie.

The inn was bustling early in the morning with the other knights when we woke up. I could hear their heavy footsteps walking around the inn and leaving outside. It woke me up as I groaned, holding the side of my head and fixing my horrible bed head. "Ah... right, these two..."

I look towards two figures beside me breathing in sync. Rose was sleeping peacefully, her arm coiled around Vivienne\'s waist, both of them curled around like a mother cat and her baby and I laughed a little seeing these two having similar personalities.

"Hey wake up... it\'s close to morning, Rose we have to get you into your carriage." I shake her coiled arm but she just groans. "No... five more minutes." she curls up even more and places her chin above Vivienne\'s head.

Vivienne feels someone moving around so she instantly woke up and looked around to see Rose\'s soft chest in front of her in daze. "Mwommy..." she mutters out burying her head into the better pillows falling back to sleep again.

"Vivienne... I haven\'t even done that..." I cried out to her feeling my heart aching but we really should get going.

"Come on, Rose! Vincent is waiting for us outside!" I tell her to shake her harder and finally she gives in, waking up and sees the little one by her chest.

"Ah... how do I move without waking her up? I don\'t want to wake her up..." (Rose) asks worriedly looking at Vivienne who was still clinging on her chest and I smile, dragging the sleeping girl away from her chest. "Ah... well thank you."

"Get changed in the bathroom, I have a few more commoner clothes here. I\'ll watch Vivienne for a bit then I\'ll change into my armor after." I told the princess who pouts, her hand snaking up to my shoulder and holding it firmly, her long nails digging gently at my skin.

"Are you sure you don\'t want any help getting you into that armor?" she leans over to my ear and licks my earlobe before I move away with a flustered face.

"W-What are you-?!" I looked at her with wide eyes wanting to ask her why she did that but I saw Vivienne with my arms moving around so I had to stop. "Ahhh..." I held the lobe of my ear feeling so hot.

"I still have Vivienne with me to control yourself..." I told her that my mind and heart is fighting in a long heated battle on what I should do. "Rose come on... I\'m not messing around stop or-" I pleaded and she stopped licking my ears.

I could feel her breath faintly on my neck.

Rose could only grin, seeming to be satisfied with the reaction I gave her. "Have it your way... no peeking alright~?" she gives me a peck on the cheek and enters the bathroom.

My ear... I think it\'s still... so hot.

I covered half of my face and screamed internally for what that woman put me through. My ears! My face! My hands won\'t stop shaking! "Ugh... that woman is turning into a fox the moment I let my guard down." I complained waiting for Vivienne to wake up but nothing.

She\'s still sleeping soundly and I\'m glad she\'s taking some rest.

This is our second day of having her and both this princess girlfriend of mine got attached.

I should... send her to the orphanage but... for some reason I want to bring her to my home instead for a while besides- the orphanage is full of other kids! The capacity of the building is surely worrying.

I\'ll help them by keeping her for now! Yes! Then when we find a proper home for her then maybe... actually... What if we just- keep her?

"Kein, I\'m done. I can go take care of Vivienne now because you\'re spacing out." (Rose) bops my nose and I look up to see her wearing new commoner clothing with her usual red shawl.

It was a cute light pink dress that really fit her so well, especially with the way the clothes were showing her curves.

"You\'re making that face again." she points at my expression that I usually make when I\'m thinking seriously.

"I\'m fine. I\'ll go ahead and get into my armor then." I gave her Vivienne who murmurs things I don\'t get while Rose happily takes the girl into her hands and sits on the bed.

I walked into the bathroom and grabbed a scoopful hand of water cleaning my face taking out my armor from my storage ring. Quickly putting everything on and I brushed my hair to look decent.

"Alright I\'m done." I tied my hair before getting out of the bathroom holding the hit of my sword.

"Rose, I\'ll be calling you princess from now on until we get some more private alone time. I hope that\'s alright." I tell her teasingly remembering that almost a week ago she went all moody on me just by calling her princess. "You won\'t ignore me this time right?"

"Heavens no! I won\'t!" She chuckles standing up, showing that Vivienne was in new clothes that seemed to be in pair with her. "Now isn\'t she cute?"

"Moma?" She raises her hands in my direction and I take her away from Rose who seems to be teary eyed while giving away Vivienne.

"She likes you more..." she pouts, crossing her arms and I chuckle patting Vivienne\'s head. This is revenge for seducing me and licking my ear! "Oh! She does, does she? What a good girl you are Vivienne!" I smile looking at Vivienne happily for choosing me.

I could see Vivienne looking up to meet my gaze before placing her hands into my armor. "???" she stares at me in confusion, further patting on the armor in my chest.

"Puff Puff! Hmm..." she mutters and I tilt my head in confusion.

"!!!" Vivienne looks back at Rose and at her chest, reaching onto her hold. "Mommy!"

This little brat- she wants to be with Rose because of her big soft chest now is it?

"Just because my chest is flat hard right now doesn\'t mean Mama can\'t be soft with hugs too!" I tell the little rascal who doesn\'t listen and even almost falls out of my hold.

"Aw Kein don\'t be salty she doesn\'t like you, come here. Mommy will hold you until I\'ll have to leave okay?" she takes Vivienne out of my care and I smile a little bit feeling that once again the three of us acted like some bickering family in custody of a child.

"Let\'s go then." We head off outside of our inn room. I was immediately greeted by some other knights who eyes on me curiously whispering to each other.

"Hey isn\'t that the troublemaker who graduated just a few weeks ago? The Commander of the Lion brigade?" one knight turns to another, Rose couldn\'t help but looking behind but I shrugged and ushered her to just ignore them.

"I was definitely a troublemaker in school- if you\'d like I could tell you all about my school days some other time?" I ask her. Rose cradles Vivienne with a nod.

"I\'ve also been curious on how you fared well in school, after all you needed to hide your magic and such yet you became the valedictorian of your school." (Rose)

"Ah that. That was an accident because of a test- I\'ll tell you later."

The knights behind us continued to gossip.

"Whoa... I\'ve heard rumors of her personality when it comes to women- but I didn\'t know she would go after married ones too with a child." Their voices were a little too loud and my walking stopped.

I felt something scary beside me and noticed it was the ever so princess who seemed to smile under her shawl sinisterly.

I know I can\'t see it but I can feel it with the way she\'s pinching my wrist right now!

"Ow... ow...! I-I promise to tell you that too when the time comes! I swear there\'s more to the story!" I shouted at Rose in a whisper pleading for her to spare my life and she did. I sighed in relief and turned my gaze around the knights who got me in trouble.

"Hey you! If you\'re going to gossip about someone make sure that they can\'t hear you dumbasses!" I yelled at those knights that whispered some more before running past us quickly making me mad but I know I can\'t do anything against them with the princess beside me.

"Look at you commander, going after married women with a child. Oh wait- I\'m actually an engaged woman with a child." she flashes her diamond ring at her finger and Vivienne. "Isn\'t that right Vivienne? Your other mother is horrible- not only does she go after engaged women she\'s also a player."

My face turned red with embarrassment with how she worded things making it seem like I\'m the bad guy here. "Rose... come on." I pleaded some more and she laughed.

"I\'m kidding, I assure you once I\'m out of my loveless marriage. I won\'t even let you out of my sight." she says seriously while walking outdoors, I follow her bright red shawl and out into the stables we went.

There were several other Pegasus in it and I could see Vanilla patiently standing around waiting for me. She must have been waiting all night for us, "Hey Vanilla. How have you been?" I held the side of her head and patted her mane gently.

"Hwosie?!" (Vivienne) asks excitedly and I\'m surprised she knows what horses are. "Moma..." she tries reaching out to me clearly wanting to also pat Vanilla the same way I did. I looked at Vanilla who has never seen a baby human up close.

"Pfft." I never knew a Pegasus could make a funny confused expression but here it is.

"Vanilla, this is Vivienne. Can you let her pet you?" I asked my Pegasus, who seemed disappointed that I even asked her.

She turns around and lets us face her butt instead. "H-Hwosie..." the little girl muttered sadly, hiding her face at Rose\'s chest. "Kein erm... I think she\'s crying but- really trying her hard not to be loud right now."

Small sniffles were heard and I panicked.

"Vanilla please just once! Let her pet you this once. I have apples! I have carrots! What do you want?! I will buy it the moment we get back home!" I began taking out the food I have in the storage ring and offering it to my Pegasus who in the end was too annoyed at my panicking and decided to face us once more.

She leans in closer to Vivienne who was still crying quietly at Rose\'s chest.

"Vivienne, look darling, the nice Pegasus is here. She says you can pet her now." (Rose) pats Vivienne\'s back who turns around slowly and sees Vanilla. "P-Pwegaswus? Hworsie no no?" she asks.

She can\'t say Pegasus right- that is so... cute.

"Yes, Vanilla is not a horsie, she\'s a Pegasus. Now go on, don\'t be afraid, try patting her." she moves Vivienne a bit closer and immediately with no hesitation and some snot in her nose. She puts her small tiny hands at the front of Vanilla\'s face.

"Pwegasus... Whoa..." she pats Vanilla softly who neighs, not expecting that she would actually enjoy it. I could see flowers blooming behind this adorable interaction and my heart can\'t help but enjoy the two of them getting along already.

"I\'ll be having Vivienne travel with me with Vanilla." I opened the stable doors and held her leash leading Vanilla out. "Rose, should we escort you into the carriage?" I offered.

Rose thinks for a moment and then she shakes her head giving me Vivienne who raises her hand bracing for impact. "No need for you to escort me, I know Vincent said last night that you should bring me back but I am capable of sneaking back inside alone." she giggles facing the little girl in my hands.

"Mommy will come visit some other time. Oh... I\'ll miss you so." she turns to Vivienne, booping her nose before smiling at me. "Take good care of her, alright Mama?"

Rose teases me with the \'Mama\' calling hoping that I would give her the reaction that she wants all flustered and red but I just laughed, leaning in closer to kiss the silver haired woman in front of me. "Oh... Kein..." she closed her eyes when her lips met mine.

Her lips... felt so soft and wet.

I can\'t get enough of it, I could even feel her hands sneaking behind my neck pulling me closer. "Rose..." I called out to her name, she bites my lip instantly.

I could only pull away when I felt Vivienne\'s voice grumbling at our display. "Mmph!" she raised her hands and broke our intimate display.

"I guess we were taking a while- I\'ll meet you by the carriage, your highness." I opened the stables and let Vanilla out of her stable, placing Vivienne on top of the saddle. "Whoah! Pwegasus!" her eyes twinkled excitedly and Vanilla snorts.

"Hup!" I placed my foot into the metal stirrup and climbed up placing myself behind Vivienne. "Be safe, your highness."

I held my steed\'s leash, clicking my tongue to get on moving with the others, trusting Rose to sneak in the carriage by herself.

Thank you to my patreun!
