41~ Remembering the Past~
Looking at the Empress's sleeping appearance, the little Princess couldn't help but tease her. The result was that she was locked tightly by the sleeping Empress, both hands unable to move, her small face also pressed against the Empress's face.
What exactly was she doing? Idly reaching out to tease this hentai Empress when she had nothing better to do. Now it was good. She was directly locked up tight, unable to move even a bit.
Locked like this for a full ten minutes, she finally produced a trace of drowsiness. Ultimately, borrowing this trace of drowsiness, she entered dreamland.
......
......
......
......
"Your Highness."
"Starting today, she will be your exclusive personal maid. Her name is Yu Xi. She's responsible for everything in your daily life, including your eating, dressing, living, and traveling. She's responsible for it all."
Gong pushed the newly employed little maid before her with a serious face.
"...I don't need a personal maid."
The little Princess looked at this maid before her who was about as tall as herself with some disdain.
Being watched in everything she did all day long, that feeling was quite strange. Her privacy might even be completely exposed to outsiders.
"I'm not asking your opinion. I'm informing you."
"......"
"Mo, I know you don't want people watching you, but no matter how much you fool around, you still need to pay attention to your body, right? If one day you suddenly suffer Divine Punishment and there's no one around to notify a mage to stabilize your condition, what will you do?"
"I know you have methods to reduce Divine Punishment's effects and shorten the duration, but what if you can't hold on? This time you're fine, but what about next time? You're my daughter. I don't allow you to joke around with your own body. Do you understand?"
"...I understand."
The little Princess's eyes became somewhat moist, but it wasn't because her request was refused or because she was scolded. It was because Gong's words deeply pierced her heart.
Her defenses were broken, broken open by Father the King's stern yet caring words.
From then on, every morning there was one more maid who could enter her room to wake her up to wash and eat breakfast.
"Princess? Wake up. It's time to get up."
"Don't bother me. When I've slept enough, I'll get up myself."
The little Princess turned her body to the other side, her back to Yu Xi.
"But this is His Majesty's intention."
"Zzz..."
"......"
Seeing the Princess had completely no intention of getting up, Yu Xi could only give up. She didn't dare touch the Princess.
......
"You called her, and she didn't get up?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Next time, you directly pick her up, grab her to wash and eat breakfast. She has very little strength. She can't resist you."
"Your Majesty, isn't this not quite appropriate?"
No matter what, that was Glaze Nation's imperial First Princess! How could she, a mere servant, be qualified to touch the Princess?
"I'm giving you the authority. This is an order. Next time, you must pick her up to wash and eat breakfast as soon as the time comes. Do you understand clearly?"
"Yu Xi understands."
"Alright. If there's nothing else, go back first. Watch over her. Don't let her tire herself out."
"Yes."
......
The next morning, the little Princess was clamped under Yu Xi's arm, confused and also somewhat angry.
How did this tiny little maid dare treat her like this!?
"Put me back! Are you trying to die?! If you put me back now, I can still let you off!"
Seeing the little Princess not cooperating, she could only personally help the Princess wash. In a bit, she still had to go eat breakfast.
"Pardon the offense, Your Highness."
"What are you going to do? Hey hey! You... mmph@&¥✘...!"
Then, the little Princess sat gloomily at the dining table, holding utensils and transforming grief and indignation into appetite, eating breakfast in big bites, immediately eating until her belly was stuffed.
"Burp..."
This was the first time in this period she got up this early. She had rarely gotten up at this time before. Almost always she would sleep until she didn't want to sleep anymore before crawling up. By the time she reached the dining table, she ate reheated food.
Because the imperial family members' three daily meals were all made together, and she usually got up much later than others, she had almost never eaten freshly made breakfast.
The taste was okay, more delicious than reheated once. But she still wanted to sleep enough in the morning before getting up.
She looked at Yu Xi with resentful eyes.
"This is His Majesty's order."
Mo: "......"
That's right. She originally wanted to go complain to her father the king, but everything Yu Xi did was her father the king's order. Complaining wouldn't just be useless, it might even have the opposite effect.
Damn it! Making her unable to even sleep well, and so rudely washing her clean and throwing her at the dining table. If this weren't all her father the king's orders, she absolutely would let this stinking maid who couldn't figure out her own status see some color!
......
"I pulled the Princess to get up, wash, and eat on time yesterday, but the Princess seems very dissatisfied..."
"You did very well. Just keep doing it. Whether she's satisfied or not doesn't matter. Helping her adjust her sleep schedule is most important."
"Yes."
Immediately after, for the following period, every morning Yu Xi would pick up the little Princess to the washstand to wash, then throw her at the dining table. Over time, the little Princess got used to it. Even in the morning when taken by Ling to wash, she didn't resist at all, because she knew resisting was completely useless. She could only resign herself to cooperating and hurrying to finish so she could go play with small animals.
However, also during this period, after enjoying the convenience brought by having a personal maid, she seemed to have become much lazier. Even dressing herself she was too lazy to do. Almost everything was completed by Yu Xi.
It seemed she couldn't go back. It felt like being raised to waste.
And Yu Xi almost every day repeated the same operations: taking the little Princess to wash, eat breakfast, change clothes, even bathe...
"Help me get a pen."
The little Princess sketched and revised on paper. After a round of operations Yu Xi couldn't understand, she completed and stopped her pen.
"Give this to the craftsmen below. Have them strictly follow what's drawn and marked on here to make the thing."
Yu Xi tried to understand this design drawing. Ultimately, she gave up thinking.
Of course, this also wasn't because she was stupid, but truly because no one in this world had ever seen this thing, much less knew what it was for.
After Yu Xi left, the little Princess stretched her somewhat numb legs from sitting too long. After yawning, she returned to the bed to lie down and plan to take a nap.
When she woke up again, she already didn't know what time it was. She only saw her personal maid quietly watching her from the side, already not knowing how long she had been waiting there.
"How long have you been waiting here?"
"Apologies, Princess. I also forgot."
Yu Xi got up to prepare to serve the little Princess in getting up.
She didn't know specifically how long, but her legs were already completely numb from squatting. Even moving slightly was an intense feeling like being electrocuted. Then she fell down, fell on the carpet.
After looking at where the sun was, the little Princess was directly numb. She couldn't help but scold:
"Do you have a problem with your brain? Don't you know to find a place to sit? Don't you know to go do something else first? If your legs are numb, don't move first. Wait until they're better before getting up."
Yu Xi lay on the ground and tilted her head:
"My duty is to serve the Princess, so..."
"What bullshit duty? This broken duty had you squatting here from noon to afternoon!? Don't you have any thoughts of your own?"
The little Princess rarely lost her temper and cursed.
