Chapter 102
102~ Zero-Distance Communication~
This remaining one-third of the contract had a very large loophole, large enough to let her exploit it and slip away from right under the Empress's nose...
She didn't have this plan for now, but still silently noted this point. Who knows if she'd need to use it later?
The original contract was practically perfect, almost without a single flaw. Now, after the Empress erased part of the content and patched it up, a loophole appeared.
Now she could use this loophole to escape far away, but she also didn't know if this might be a trap set by the Empress... After all, after erasing most of the contract, the Empress had emphasized multiple times not to attempt to escape from her side.
Because she didn't know if it was a trap the Empress deliberately left behind, she didn't dare try. At least before encountering a situation where she had to flee, she wouldn't attempt it...
"Your Highness?"
Little maid Xiyan tugged at the little Princess's clothes.
"What's wrong?"
The little Princess came back to her senses and placed the Kongming lantern in her hands on the ground.
"I'm just worried seeing you constantly spacing out."
Worried the little Princess was thinking about some rather dangerous things.
After returning, she discovered the little Princess was often spacing out. Combined with the Evil God's aura from before, she was very worried whether the little Princess had been bewitched by the Evil God.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
The little Princess revealed a very natural smile, both hands continuously kneading Xiyan's little head, giving birth to a trace of satisfaction in her heart.
So this is the feeling that hentai Empress has when toying with her? Seems a bit easy to get addicted to.
"Then Your Highness, let's quickly release the lanterns... Eh? Should we try calling Her Majesty the Empress over?"
"Call her for what?"
The little Princess's complexion immediately darkened.
As expected, Princess Mo still held such hostility toward the Empress.
This topic would be set aside for now. The little Princess crouched down, had Xiyan come over to use magic to ignite the burning area below, then released her grip on the Kongming lantern.
"So beautiful!"
Little maid Xiyan had the appearance of a curious baby.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, do you know how this lantern flies up?"
She was very curious, filled with curiosity about this novel trinket.
"Because the flame heats the air. Hot air has greater buoyancy than cold air, so it can carry the Kong... sky lantern up into the sky."
"Eh?"
Xiyan: @_@a
She couldn't understand what Princess Mo was saying at all...
But is this lantern called a sky lantern?
Little maid Xiyan stared at the Kongming lantern for a while.
It seems this name is also quite fitting?
Sky lantern, a lantern suspended in the sky... really fitting.
Just don't know what kind of person invented this sky lantern.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, why do you know so many things?"
She asked curiously.
"How could one be a princess without knowing many things?"
"Wow, Your Highness is so amazing!"
The little Princess exhaled a long breath, once again rubbing little maid Xiyan's little head.
She didn't know why, but there was always a trace of unease in her heart, after discovering the contract's loophole...
"Mo."
"Mm?"
The little Princess's body stiffened slightly. She turned around to look at the Empress.
"Toys Mo and Xiyan bought?"
The Empress casually picked up a Kongming lantern, observing it with interest for a while.
This thing could fly into the sky once lit?
"Can Mo explain to me the principle of this lantern?"
The Empress asked with a beaming smile.
Things seemed to have become slightly ominous...
Although she had almost never concealed her knowledge reserves, this was also because the Empress had never inquired, which was why she dared not make even a bit of concealment. Now that she had gradually broken away from the Empress's controllable range, the Empress's purpose in asking was obviously to probe!
"Don't know."
"But Mo just explained it once to Xiyan. Does Mo hate me this much?"
More than hate, it could even be said to be loathing without exaggeration!
Of course, she didn't dare say this kind of thing out loud. She could only say it in her heart to vent her emotions.
The Empress used magic to light one and handed it to the little Princess, while also lighting one herself.
As the two Kongming lanterns ascended to the sky, the little Princess sighed, tidied up things, then left the Empress and Xiyan behind and walked toward the bedchamber.
"Your Highness?"
The Empress stopped Xiyan, indicating she should go stay with Red Leaf tonight, then closely followed the little Princess.
Xiyan was slightly confused for a moment, then walked toward the outer city in the opposite direction from the two.
Her Majesty the Empress's orders must be obeyed...
...
...
"It's been quite some time since I've helped Mo bathe, hasn't it?"
"...Mm."
The little Princess's head sank into the water, like a goldfish blowing bubbles from her mouth.
"Mo..."
The Empress rubbed the little Princess's head, removed the clothing from her body, and entered the bathtub together.
Two pieces of incredibly smooth and slippery skin merged together in the water. For a moment, it was impossible to distinguish you from me.
Don't misunderstand, they were simply pressed together...
The Empress embraced the little Princess from behind.
"Mo, what exactly must I do for you to forgive me?"
"..."
Still like before, she didn't receive the little Princess's reply. As if she already knew the result, the Empress showed no surprise at this.
Picking up the towel to clean the little Princess's body, the little Princess also sat quietly.
"Mo, move your hands away."
The Empress's brow furrowed as she commanded.
The little Princess's hands continued blocking.
It seemed she had no choice but to forcibly pull them away.
The Empress used one hand to pin the little Princess's two slender small hands, the other hand holding the towel to clean the final area.
After finishing the bath, the little Princess was tossed onto the bed, the expression on her face becoming even more disgusted.
Taking a bath was one thing, but while washing, her hands also weren't behaving. Fortunately, this time no bleeding incident occurred...
Mm... she was afraid of experiencing another bleeding incident. She just didn't know what level the Empress's Treatment Magic was to actually be able to heal this degree of "wound."
After the Empress also finished washing herself, she got onto the bed, embraced the little Princess, and engaged in zero-distance communication. The two bodies, one large and one small, pressed together, then there was no further movement.
(PS/Author's Note: Not negative-distance communication. Don't think wrongly. Please don't kill me...)
"So what exactly must I do for Mo to forgive me? Can Mo tell me?"
The little Princess didn't want to speak and didn't dare to speak. She could clearly feel the Empress had become somewhat unfamiliar again, as if she'd become a different person. But unlike before, this time no violent bleeding incident occurred.
"I'm tired. Sleep."
The little Princess clamped her legs around the little crocodile body pillow.
She really was tired, not joking. Of course, it was also to avoid the Empress's questioning, lest she accidentally step on a landmine and cause another violent bleeding incident.
She had learned her lesson this time. Landmines stepped on once wouldn't be stepped on again. So this time, no matter what, she absolutely wouldn't answer this kind of question again when the Empress became strange.
Mm... this hentai Empress must have some kind of mental illness! Stepping on landmines with a mentally ill person, isn't that purely seeking death?
