A God Killed Me By Accident, But I Reincarnated As The 4th Son Of The Marquis

Volume 13 Chapter 18: Night Watch 

"Isn't it fine like this?" They all thought it was delicious as it was. It had the perfect sweetness. 

"No, something is missing from it." The others loved anything he cooked, but Keith knew this ingredient needed something. 

"I see." Perfection. Regarding food, perfection was the only word going through his mind. Everyone could see in his eyes that making it delicious was the best. As they conversed with one another, Keith glanced down at his pocket watch.

"Alright, guys. Set up the tents." Setting up was quite simple enough.

"We'll have two people watching again." With so many people here, the time to sleep for the others would increase. Agreeing with his idea, it was time to decide on the pairings. A certain princess cheered loudly, "Yay! I pair up with you, Keith!" 

“Tch!” “Damn.” Alfia scoffed while Scarlet stared down at the stick she pulled like her lifelong enemy. 

“You totally rigged it!” Some shenanigans were going on because there was no way this could happen. The coincidence was uncanny.

"..." Was that why you were so calm and composed the whole time? Did she know this was going to happen? How the human princess looked down on the elf and demon princess was just irritating...well, irritating for the two. 

Carolyn grinned deviously, “Lady Luck is smiling at me.”

“...” Keith could only shake his head at this situation as everyone went to bed before his turn came.  

"Keith, you're up." Herrick yawned as he nudged the man. 

"Understood." Keith sat near the fire while Carolyn came out of her tent. Her seat was right next to him. 

“...” The man didn’t even say anything as she snuggled close! 

“Keith, don’t you think it’s nice?’ 

“...”

“Just you, me, and an open fire, all alone.” Her grip on him got tighter as she rested her head on his shoulders, “And I’m getting so much warmth from this.”

“...Yeah.” Keith patted her head as he let it happen. He had the feeling that if he didn't, it would be a long night.

"What are you brewing?" The princess glanced down at the fire; a pot was brewing. A rich and mellow aroma came from it. 

“Hot chocolate. Want some?”

"Of course." The princess giggled. Chocolate was her favorite. Sipping her drink, ”So how is your magic?”

"I'm doing good. I feel like my fire magic has improved." She had been firing fire magic at a better degree than before. 

"Nice." With those words, silence loomed over the fire again. 

“...Hubby, you're terrible at small talk. Well, you're just bad at it." Carolyn understood he was horrible at stuff like this. She accepted this long ago.

“...I'm not your hubby.”

“In time.” 

"..."

"By the way, you're really handsome." 

"You've been saying that." The number of times she told him this was too many to count. 

“Those looks of yours are deadly. Gabriel as well.”

“Of course, Gabriel’s looks are dangerous.” Handsome man one and two were either Gabriel or Keith. If someone was asked who was the most handsome, it would be a difficult battle. Preference would be a difference maker. 

"Why bring this up?" Bringing up Gabriel was pretty random.  

Carolyn held her cheeks softly as her head slightly tilted, "Hmm? Don't you see how Lucy likes him?"

"She does?!" That was unexpected! 

"She had been giving him glances throughout the exploration." Carolyn then added, “It’s not from today either. I could tell that she had been staring at him from the shadows from time to time." 

"..." She has? However, now that he thought about it, this was highly likely. Being a handsome man, Gabriel would have admirers. 

The princess sighed, “That’s because you're terrible at reading romantic cues. She is clearly interested in Gabriel, and it's the same feeling for me to you.” 

“Did you have to add the last part as well?” That last part was not needed. 

"No, it was needed. I have to tell you occasionally, or you'll forget." 

"..." His hand slowly stroked her silver hair, “Didn’t I get better to a certain degree?” He swore he realized their feelings more so than before. However, that was when Carolyn flicked his forehead, “True, but you’re still horrible.” Improvement is to get better than before. That did happen with Keith; however, it went from extra bad to bad. 

He was still horrible. 

“Tsk,” Keith grumbled, which caused the princess to giggle.

“How cute. Don’t be so pouty.” She started to rub his cheeks. But as she did, the two suddenly locked eyes with one another. There was a moment of stillness enveloping them. That was when the princess pulled the trigger. Her head slowly inched towards him as her lips were about to-

“What do you think you’re doing?” 

“You’re taking it too far.”

Two princesses cut into this silence. One had a dark look, while the other was irritated. 

“Tsk!” “Have you two been watching us?” The way they moved so swiftly was uncanny. 

"Yes, we’ve been watching you cuddle together.” 

“You guys are quite something, huh?” 

Their gaze said everything, clearly wanting to fight. However, Carolyn scoffed, "Please. You guys did this on the carriage. Now, it's my turn." 

“Guys, be quiet, or you’ll wake the others up.” These three talked so loudly that it would wake the others up. Hearing his words, the three calmed down. Yet, it was anything but calm as they sat next to him. 

“You guys had already done your watch.” 

“We can’t go to bed.” “Yeah, do you not want us to be here?” 

“...” There are no right answers to this question.

A groan escaped his mouth, “Fine, you can stay out. But you guys need to be quiet.” Optimal answer. Carolyn pouted as he continued to snuggle into him.
