Sidella pondered for a moment, an interested expression appearing on her face.
The Blood Clan, claiming to be my daughter?
It seems things are starting to get interesting~
“Well then… where is my ‘daughter’ now?”
A dangerous light flickered in her blood-red eyes, and Sidella’s tone was playful.
“Replying to Your Majesty, she is currently arranged at the Temporary Camp together with other Demon Folk who have no place in the Royal City.”
“Hmm, bring her to the Palace tomorrow. I want to have a good look at her.”
Sidella said.
“Yes! Your Majesty.”
After a while, the two stopped at the bottom of the Maid Dormitory where Hualí was located.
Sidella casually pointed to the nearest dormitory, signaling for Lilith to wash off the bloodstains on her body, then turned without looking back and went up to the second floor, heading towards Hualí’s room.
As she approached the door to Hualí’s room, it was quiet on the other side.
She reached out and grasped the doorknob, turning it gently.
Unexpectedly, with a ‘creak’, the door opened a narrow crack.
It wasn’t locked.
Stepping into the room, the scattered Royal Maid Uniform immediately caught her eye, crumpled and tossed carelessly on the floor.
Sidella’s delicate brows lifted slightly.
Combined with the sound of water flowing in the bathroom, she had a pretty good idea of what Hualí was doing.
Truly, coming early is not as good as coming at the right time.
She crouched down, her cool, fair fingers lightly pinching the hem of the maid uniform Hualí had changed out of.
The first sensation was damp, as if it had been soaked with water.
No doubt, simple sweat couldn’t have made it this wet.
Sidella rubbed a bit between her fingers and brought it to her nose for a sniff.
A sweet scent—like… Strawberry Juice?
At that moment, a light knock sounded at the door.
Following Maid Chief Jeilinfa’s instructions, a maid delivering a change of maid uniform for Hualí stood outside.
“Hualí, are you in there? The Maid Chief asked me to bring you some clothes.”
The maid outside waited quietly, arms holding the neatly folded uniform, for Hualí to open the door.
However, when the door slowly opened, what appeared before her was the stunning face of a silver-haired girl, her eyes deep as she gazed at the clothes in the maid’s arms.
The maid’s pupils trembled.
Her body stiffened, and she stood dumbfounded on the spot.
“Y-Your Majesty!”
“Hualí is still bathing in the bathroom. Just give me the clothes. I’ll remind her to put them on when she’s done.”
Sidella reached out calmly.
“What’s wrong?”
Sidella frowned.
“Is there anything else?”
“N-no, I wish Your Majesty a pleasant meal!”
Inside the bathroom, Hualí finally washed away her fatigue, even her mood improved.
She couldn’t help but hum a tune.
“Hmm hmm hmm~~ hmm~ hmm hmm~ hmm~”
Of course, the reason for Hualí’s good mood was that she had a nice dream while soaking in the bath.
In the dream, she was omnipotent, attacking and defending at will, ruthlessly trampling that hateful Sidella under her foot.
Even now, Sidella’s pleas for mercy echoed in her mind.
“Despicable Sidella, this time it’s Hualí-sama’s victory! The brave and fearless Heroine Huali will eventually defeat the evil Blood Queen!”
“Even if it was just a dream…”
Hualí added quietly.
“Don’t lose heart! This is a good omen. If I can even dream about it, can the day I defeat her in reality be far off?”
Hualí clenched her small fists and punched the air in front of her.
As the water gradually cooled, Hualí decided to get out of the bathtub.
Just now, she seemed to faintly hear someone bringing clothes.
Her fair body broke the water’s surface, soft soap bubbles clinging to her snowy skin.
Water flowed along her graceful curves, streaming back into the tub.
Stepping out, her body shivered, and she squeezed her white thighs together, arms crossed over her chest to cover the beautiful snowy landscape.
She was like a lotus rising from the water, delicate, pure, and irresistible.
Her pink feet left the foggy water’s edge, dripping water as she carefully tiptoed onto the bathroom floor.
Hualí breathed a sigh of relief, glad she hadn’t slipped.
She turned on the shower, rinsing off the remaining soap bubbles, finally revealing all her beauty.
She used a towel to wipe away the water on her delicate body, wringing out the towel.
Without a thread on her body, Hualí stepped onto the wet floor with bare white feet, tiptoed out of the bathroom, and after confirming no one was there, let out a long breath and patted her chest.
“No one, no one. The door wasn’t locked. They must have just left the clothes and gone.”
“To think you’d willingly expose your body before me? Trash Hualí, you’re quite the little pervert~”
As if appearing out of nowhere, Sidella’s teasing laughter sounded from the side.
The silver-haired girl sat quietly at the edge of the bed, legs crossed in small white socks, her delicate hand propping her cheek, blood-red eyes filled with mirth.
Her scorching gaze swept back and forth over the naked Hualí, her tongue licking her blood-red, moist lips.
Beside her, a brand new Royal Maid Uniform was neatly folded on the bed.
Sidella looked at Hualí, whose cheeks were flushed, and a wicked smile curved her lips.
“Come to think of it… I don’t think I’ve ever seen what dumb Hualí looks like in a maid uniform~”
“Guh…”
A sense of doom instantly surged in Hualí’s heart, her face falling.
Trouble was coming again…
On the floor below, the small hole Hualí had made in the ceiling that morning had been hastily patched with cement.
In the center of the room, several maids huddled together, gossiping in hushed tones.
“Let me tell you, I just delivered clothes to that new maid, Hualí. Guess what I saw?”
The maid who had brought Hualí’s clothes earlier spoke mysteriously.
“What? Did you catch her self-(guh) reading?”
“You’re so dirty! But it was even more exciting than that~”
“Seriously? Tell us!”
“Do you know why I called you all to this room? When I brought the replacement uniform to Hualí, I saw… forget it, don’t speak, listen for yourselves in a bit!”
Bang——!
The bathroom door flew open, and Lilith, freshly washed and dressed, walked out, interrupting the little maids’ conversation.
Her warm body steamed, moisture evaporating from her skin in waves of white mist.
“Thank you for letting me use the bathroom.”
Lilith scratched her head.
“I’ll be going now.”
As she stepped out, a faint voice penetrated the ceiling, reaching everyone’s ears.
Lilith recognized the owner immediately—it was Hualí, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time.
“Guh… it’s too tight, Sidella, loosen your hand, it hurts!”
“That’s all it takes to defeat you? I haven’t even used any strength yet, trash Hualí~ trash Hualí~”
Lilith blinked, looking up at the ceiling, pondering whether to remind Your Majesty that the walls weren’t soundproof…
Or maybe not?
After all, Your Majesty must have her own reasons for doing this.
“Lighter, loosen up!”
Hualí’s pained face twisted as she untied the tight sash around her waist, glaring back at Sidella.
“Didn’t you say you’d help me put on the maid uniform?”
That’s how trash Hualí was.
Once she confirmed she didn’t have to Aito and was safe, her attitude became unbearably arrogant.
Sidella’s eyes narrowed as she pinched the soft flesh of Hualí’s small waist.
Hualí’s face instantly turned pale from pain.
“Trash Hualí, are you doubting me?”
“Uuu… I’m sorry… it hurts! Let go, I really know I was wrong…”
