85~ Treasure~
"Mo, I'll wait until the moment you forgive me."
The Empress opened her arms and hugged the little Princess as she spoke.
The little Princess just opened her mouth wanting to bite down, but due to the contract's constraints, she couldn't.
"..."
She simply decided not to speak. Whatever the Empress said, she'd just treat it as wind passing by her ears.
"Mo..."
The Empress suddenly discovered the little Princess had directly started lying flat, the kind that no matter how she called, wouldn't respond. Only when she teased her a bit would there be some slight reaction, but she didn't dare continue, afraid the little Princess's attitude toward her would become even worse because of this.
"..."
...
"Eh? I can go in now?"
"Mm, keep Mo company and talk with her more."
The Empress instructed.
"Yes!"
Just chatting more with Princess Mo, simple!
After pushing open the door, she only saw Princess Mo lying on the bed, already covered with a blanket and asleep.
Huh? Already asleep?
Seeing the little Princess was already sleeping, Xiyan carefully closed the door, no longer disturbing her.
"Xiyan?"
"Lady Ling?"
"How is Princess Mo?"
Today she had been by the Empress's side all morning with no time to care about the little Princess, so she could only ask Xiyan.
"Ah, after Princess talked with Her Majesty for a bit, she fell asleep."
Asleep? More likely she cursed at Her Majesty until she was tired and fell asleep, right?
She was still clear about the little Princess's frail body. Just being played with a bit by the Empress before would tire her into unconsciousness.
"Then let Princess Mo rest well."
"Okay~"
...
...
Upon waking, she was still on the bed, her body hadn't lost any limbs or had anything done to it. It seemed the Empress would at least keep her promise and not randomly touch her body...
So far it was like this, but who knew what would happen after? Who knew if the Empress would, like before, give her a forceful assault without a word?
After pondering for a while, she decided to first find Xiyan to help her get a meal, then go properly take a bath.
Starting from when she was being tormented, she hadn't bathed. The Empress had always used Purification Magic to clean her body. Now that she wasn't being tormented anymore, she wanted to take a bath and relax.
Although vigilance toward the Empress still couldn't be lacking, she also couldn't keep herself wound up so tightly for such a long time. It would be very easy to collapse.
Having been made into this state by the Empress, unable to run away, unable to resist anything, she could only relax herself a bit like this to avoid her spirit collapsing first.
She didn't want a mental breakdown yet!
She had seen people with mental breakdowns. That crazy, delirious appearance, she didn't want to experience personally. She was still young and didn't want to go insane. She had just turned eighteen and become an adult. The days ahead were still long.
They said people who had already died once weren't afraid of death, but she really didn't want to lose her second life. She was afraid of death. She didn't want her second life to just disappear like this. Who knew if there would be a next time after dying this time?
However...
After soaking in the bathtub for a good while to relax her mood and washing her body once, the little Princess dried herself and wrapped her body in a bath towel, heading to the bedroom to find clothes.
Mm... She forgot to bring clothes into the bath. She had to get the clothes before that little loli maid finished making food and came to call her, then return to the bathroom to change!
"Princess, Princess~ The food is ready?"
Xiyan pushed open the door and called out.
Mo: "..."
So life was always unsatisfactory. The more you didn't want something to come, the more reality gave it to you.
"Ah! Princess, I'm sorry!"
Xiyan hurriedly covered her own eyes, but the gaps between her fingers made this obstruction completely useless, her eyes staring straight at her.
Could you at least not be so obvious about covering your eyes while peeking?
But thinking about it, she didn't really have anything that couldn't be seen. She had long been used to her eighteen years of girlhood. She simply couldn't be bothered to cover up or go change in the bathroom. Right in front of the little loli maid, she put on her clothes.
Wow! Princess Mo's skin is so white and tender! And she's small and so cute!
"Seen enough?"
"Ah... I'm sorry, Princess. I didn't know you were changing clothes."
"It's fine."
The little Princess waved her hand.
Being seen naked and such, she was long used to it. Anyway, the little loli maid was also a girl. Now she was numb to it. As long as it wasn't a man, anything was fine. If a man saw her naked, she would definitely use that Magic Scroll in her hand to blast that person into ashes!
"Help me brush my hair."
"Yes."
The little loli maid thoughtfully brushed the little Princess's hair, asked what hairstyle the little Princess wanted, and after receiving permission to improvise freely, she immediately selected a hairpin from the table. This was something she had specifically bought when she went out with the little Princess last time.
She had always wanted to see what Princess Mo looked like with her hair pinned up with a hairpin but never had the chance. Now the opportunity had finally come!
After straightening the little Princess's hair, she styled what she considered the best-looking hairstyle according to her own feeling, then cautiously asked the little Princess:
"Princess, are you satisfied?"
"It looks quite nice."
She was quite satisfied with this hairstyle. It had a kind of youthful yet classical elegance, and also looked somewhat mature. In any case, she was very satisfied.
If this were in the Imperial Palace of Glaze Nation and not the Imperial Palace of Scarlet Phoenix Nation, she'd be even more satisfied!
"Hehe, as long as Princess is satisfied."
After making some final adjustments for the little Princess, she looked up and down at her masterpiece.
"Alright, what does Princess plan to do next?"
"Just wander around casually."
The little Princess looked meaningfully at the back garden.
She was going to stir up trouble, but before finishing, she couldn't let the Empress know, or else it would all be in vain.
"Xiyan, can you help me with one more thing?"
"Please tell me, Princess!"
"Is Fei free right now?"
The little loli maid was stunned.
Could it be Princess Mo had come around?
"She doesn't seem to be. If you want to find Her Majesty, Her Majesty said I could go call her."
Not free? Not being free was pretty good...
"Help me gather some magic power to the back garden, okay?"
"I can, but what does Princess want to do?"
The little Princess smiled, then began her deception:
"It's like this. Beneath this Imperial Palace back garden, there's hidden a huge treasure..."
After a bout of deception, the simple little loli maid seemed to have been fooled by her. Whatever the little Princess said, she just kept nodding. Whenever she mentioned any treasure, she displayed extreme excitement.
"So you see, this treasure's door needs magic power to open, right?"
"So that's how it is!"
The little loli maid nodded as if she understood but didn't quite understand.
"So could I ask Xiyan to help me open the door and wait for me to come up outside?"
"Of course!"
Xiyan answered without hesitation.
"Then I also need to ask Xiyan to keep it secret, okay? Don't let Fei know about this."
"Mm mm!"
The little loli maid continued nodding in agreement.
