Fostering the Male Lead

How long has it been since he last took a bath? When I counted mentally, I realized it had been around three weeks ago.

“Your Highness, would you like to take a bath before my brother comes?”

“I’d love to, but are you sure you can do it?”

“Of course.”

I was confident I could because it was me who took complete care of Shasha before.  Sihael nodded at my confident answer.

“That’s great, though it’s still awkward.”

However, Sihael, who allowed me to bathe him, immediately regretted it.

“The rumors weren’t false.”

Sihael trembled, feeling betrayed.

“I thought you were a kind person, but I didn’t expect you to be so vicious.”

This kid. Was this something you should say while I’m washing you to the best of my ability even though I’m having a hard time?

“Yes, yes, come here. Your fur is as dirty as a rag. Ugh, just look at all this dirty water.”

“I have lost my innocence.”

Someone might misunderstand if they heard it. I just touched it by accident while bathing him!

Sihael, who crouched down to avoid my touch, had a playful look in his eyes.

‘Is this how you’re going to play?’

Sihael often teased me in this way to make sure I was comfortable, but it was clear that he enjoyed seeing me in trouble.

But who I am, I am the one who tamed the finicky Shasha! I won’t get embarrassed by this kind of prank!

“Oh my, Your Highness!  Haven’t you mated not even once before? To think you’ll lose your innocence just with a light touch like that. You are so innocent, unlike someone who has rolled in the battlefield.”

Because of my exaggerated gestures, Sihael’s eyes widened as he hurriedly took my hands off his body.

He could not hide his embarrassment because he didn’t know I would react like this.

“You, you! That’s not something that a kid should say!”

“But I’m all grown up.”

“You’re still a child if you haven’t had your coming-of-age ceremony.”

What is it, you boomer? I just didn’t have my coming of age ceremony, but I’m 18 this year.

“Don’t go around saying stuff like mate or anything like that.”

“Huh? What did you say? Did you say you want to mate? Don’t worry, I’ll find you a nice female!”

“Rosetta, are you not ashamed?”

“Aww, baby Shasha is very shy.”

“Shut up.”

Was it because I was not all scared of staring at his soaking body? What’s with the alarmed look on your face? I was just smiling because I found his sagging fur funny. When I giggled out loud, Sihael revealed his fangs, showing that he was really very angry.

It was the first time Sihael had shown me his fangs since he regained his consciousness, and funnily enough, I was happy to see his sharp fangs.

‘Before, whenever he had a chance, he would show his fangs to intimidate me… My Shasha, where did you go, leaving your older sister?!’

Missing my Shasha, I poured water on the growling Sihael to wash away the foam.

The way he growled and showed his fangs was just like my Shasha, so I wanted to touch him more. However, maybe I provoked him too much. Sihael looked grumpy until he finished taking a bath.

“There, it’s done.”

Sihael’s eyes instantly flashed as I approached with a towel.

‘Uh, wait…!’

Sihael shook his fur without stopping.

Tatatatatat!

Drops of water splashed all over my face, clothes, and everywhere.

“Ah! You should have told me before doing that.”

“It’s revenge for harassing me.”

Sihael’s face softened, perhaps because he was feeling a little better.

Okay fine, as long as you like it. I roughly wiped the water that splashed on my face and walked over to Sihael and covered him with a towel.

I wiped his fur with a towel.

From his head to waist, even his hips, and tail. Lastly, as I was wiping his feet dry, Sihael’s gaze became strange.

“What’s wrong? Is there something on the ceiling?”

“No. It’s just that there are a lot of water droplets.”

What are you talking about?

I dismissed Sihael’s words as nonsense, and took out a new towel, and wiped the remaining moisture.

“Done. Now it’s clean.”

I took him outside to dry up the remaining water on him.

“Now go.”

Sihael’s steps were light as if he was happy to finish his bath.

Just when I stepped out of the bathroom, I shivered for a while feeling a chilling gaze.

As I turned around, wiping my dripping head with a towel, a strange man called me.

“Rosetta.”

“Brother?”

It was Leonard, Rosetta’s eldest brother. I opened my mouth foolishly when I saw my brother’s face for the first time.

‘He really looks like me!’

A man who looked like Rosetta’s carbon copy approached me.

I thought I looked like Lanoa, but it turns out my real resemblance was with this guy.  Leonard’s beautiful face looked at me and then moved towards Sihael.

While the two exchanged glances, Lanoa, who had followed Leonard, cried out.

“Did you play something in the water?”

When I came back to my senses, Lanoa looked at me and frowned.

“I can see your undergarments. Don’t torment my eyes. Just go and change your clothes.”

“Is that what you should be saying to your sister?”

Leonard smacked Lanoa’s back.

“Ouch! Brother, why are you hitting me when I said something true?!”

As they fought, I lowered my head and looked at my chest, and as Lanoa said, my undergarments were visible. The dress I wore today was white, so they came out to be more clearly visible. Now I understood why earlier Sihael avoided my eyes when I asked him why he was looking at the ceiling.

“Did you see it?” (Rosetta)

“I didn’t see it.” (Sihael)

“You saw it. You definitely saw it. Pervert.” (Rosetta)

“Ho, who’s really the pervert here?”(Sihael)

The conversation naturally led to an argument.

Lanoa, who was watching this sequence of events, slapped himself on the cheek.

“Am I dreaming… the dog is talking.”

“Rosetta, he’s behaving the exact same way as you did.” (Sihael)

Because of Lanoa’s response, Sihael smiled remembering that day when Sihael regained his consciousness.

I smiled at the dumbfounded Lanoa.

Yes, how can our reaction be so similar?
