Chapter 5
5~ Confrontation~
"This is the gift I prepared for Mo. How is it? Do you like it?"
Like it... as if I could like such a thing!! Who would like this kind of thing?!
Mo roared inwardly.
"Can I not have it?"
"No, you're my pet. Pets should have the awareness of being pets."
Seeing herself rejected, the smile on Fei's face didn't weaken in the slightest. It even faintly showed signs of growing.
This collar, once worn, would almost completely acknowledge her identity as a "pet"...
"No, this kind of thing..."
"Put it on yourself."
With a single command, Mo discovered her hands wouldn't obey her. They actually went against her will and slowly picked up the collar from the box.
"Click~"
The collar fastened. The gap where the clasp connected gradually sealed together until it became completely seamless, meaning it could never be removed through normal means again.
"You pervert!"
Mo couldn't help but curse.
She wasn't unfamiliar with treating people as slaves. In some countries with relatively remote locations and backward systems, slave trading was very normal. But she hadn't seen "human pets" in this world before... No, now she had seen one. This "human pet" was herself!
She had once seen many study materials labeled "human pet" on a certain unknown pink app, studying this field in depth. She knew very well this thing wasn't anything good!
She liked it in the study materials, but that didn't mean she wanted this kind of thing happening to herself!
"Let me go!"
Mo struggled, trying to break free from Fei's embrace, but her hands were firmly clamped down, unable to move at all. She could only keep squirming in the embrace.
"Looks like the little wildcat still hasn't grasped the situation."
Fei grabbed Mo's chin.
Immediately after, Mo felt a hand becoming restless on her body, seemingly wanting to strip away all her disguises and reveal her truest self.
"Pervert!"
This Empress was truly perverted!
She really hadn't expected that the Empress keeping her under house arrest actually wanted to satisfy... those kinds of needs!
Originally, she thought it was because the Empress had grasped her identity and information, wanting to dig out some utility value to advance the progress of ruling the continent. But instead...
...
...
Time flew by. About several days passed...
"Miss Yu Xi, please come with me."
The Maid Xiao Xi didn't know what had happened, but still put down the scissors she was using to trim potted plants and followed the maid before her.
After walking for a long time, winding through the palace's small paths, she finally arrived at a side gate. A carriage was parked outside.
"This is...?"
"Please return to your own country on your own."
This was... the Empress's order for her to leave!
However, His Majesty Gong had instructed her that no matter what, she must ensure the Princess's safety and absolutely not let the Princess face any life-threatening danger.
Without understanding the Scarlet Phoenix Nation Empress's attitude toward the Princess, before that, she absolutely could not leave!
"My duty is to care for the Princess. Without His Majesty Gong's orders, I'm afraid I cannot leave the Princess."
"..."
Hearing this, the maid who had brought her out maintained her cold expression, but unlike before, a trace of gloom now crept onto it.
"Though I'm a personal maid, that doesn't mean I have no combat ability."
She was a death sworn warrior personally cultivated by His Majesty Gong, a death sworn warrior serving the Glaze Nation royal family. Naturally, she had undergone near-death cultivation and training. Otherwise, she wouldn't be qualified to be the Princess's personal maid and bodyguard.
"Lady Ling, we'll trouble you."
Emerging from the shadows was a guard beside the Empress, carrying a sword and displaying killing intent.
"Then, pardon me."
The Maid Xiao Xi said.
After a brief exchange, the Maid Xiao Xi began to gradually fall into a disadvantage. New wounds continuously appeared on her body, and her maid outfit was torn to tatters.
The reason she was still alive now was probably because the opponent hadn't used full strength yet, right?
The Maid Xiao Xi thought.
Was it the Empress's order? Then she most likely wouldn't die here today.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she'd better have a good fight with the Empress's guard. She'd wanted to experience this for a while.
So she tore her hem to make it easier to take steps, took off her gloves to better grip the sword in her hand.
One sword, two swords... eight swords, nine swords!
In the process of sword edges clashing with each other again, she was no longer at a disadvantage but evenly matched with Ling. Neither gained any advantage from the other.
"Very good swordsmanship."
Ling evaluated fairly.
If their positions weren't different, she would definitely have enjoyed chatting with this personal maid of the Glaze Nation princess.
It was just unfortunate that they were currently in opposing positions. She had to fulfill the Empress's orders, knock this little maid unconscious, and then send her back to Glaze Nation.
"This is the end."
Ling raised her left hand. A fireball condensed in her palm.
Magic, the talent that could make an ordinary person leap to become a distinguished guest, a mage's talent.
As expected, just as the Princess predicted, this Empress's personal guard was an all-around guard proficient in both magic and martial arts.
...
...
"Your Majesty, it's handled."
"I know. You may go."
Fei closed the book in her hands, the corner of her mouth lifting slightly.
A helpless little wildcat, at this moment she must be panicking terribly, right? Frantically trying to seek a sense of security everywhere.
However, the reality wasn't as she imagined. A certain princess sat to the side expressionlessly continuing to read, as if she hadn't heard anything.
Fei: (눈‸눈）
What's going on?
Logically speaking, after learning her personal maid had been "sent" back to Glaze Nation, shouldn't she be flustered? How come it's like she anticipated it?
Looks like she had to reevaluate this Princess of Glaze Nation.
Despite being frail and sickly, having no magical talent, and still being rather young, her thoughts were so cautious and meticulous. It was hard to imagine what kind of environment she grew up in.
If the little Princess knew what she was thinking, she'd most likely complain, "You're overthinking it."
Because her rock-solid psychology was entirely due to being reincarnated.
"Mo, come here."
"Oh."
The little Princess obediently put down the book in her hands, walked to the Empress, just like a puppet on strings.
There was no helping it. Ever since signing that cursed contract, if she didn't obediently listen, the Empress would use the contract to forcibly make her "voluntarily" follow orders. And without the Empress's permission, the contract couldn't be dissolved.
She couldn't run away. With a single command from the Empress, she could only come running back obediently. The Empress wouldn't possibly let her go either. It seemed everything was already decided. She'd most likely have to stay by the Empress's side for life.
So she quickly resigned herself to fate. Rather than resist and suffer endless torment, better to just enjoy the new life. After all, with the Empress's beautiful appearance, you couldn't find many like her on the entire continent. Feasting her eyes seemed pretty good too. Plus, she didn't have to worry about starving to death. Someone was providing for her!
Often a person's psychological transformation happens in an instant. She was probably that kind of person, doing whatever was most comfortable.
If it weren't for life's pressures, who would want to suffer?
"Sit up."
The little Princess continued to obediently listen, sitting on the Empress's lap. Two pairs of thighs pressed together through stockings, slippery, somewhat difficult to stay seated.
Just as she was about to slip off, she was firmly embraced from behind by the Empress.
