Chapter 301 – Clumsiness
—Slap…
In the relaxed silence, only the sound of splashing water could be heard for a while.
Alicia’s silver hair, which had been soaked up to her neck in the bathtub, floated around like willow leaves, and her cold blue eyes looked up at the open ceiling, enjoying the scenery of the morning to the fullest.
In contrast, Rael sits in the corner of the bathtub in a very awkward position with his body shrunk tightly, unable to hide his discomfort.
Alicia let out a strange snort as she looked at her like that.
“Huh.”
“What, do you need anything?”
It was Rael who responded by forcibly raising the corners of her mouth.
From her point of view, this bath water with holy water added to it felt like an acidic lake that is said to exist in the southwest of the empire, so she wanted this time to end as soon as possible.
“I was sweating and she was thirsty. Could you bring me a cold glass of bangsho?”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
Rael stood up straight away as if he had been waiting for the opportunity to get out of the bathtub.
But, I don’t know if it’s because of my mood. The rattling sound coming from the minibar in the corner of the large communal bath seemed to last for a very long time, so Alicia stopped laughing.
It looks like someone is trying to pass the time.
Isn’t it really an attitude that is too deceitful?
‘Uh… You’re a bit too cute for a spy, right?’
Naturally, Alicia had already figured out Rael’s identity to some extent.
She was Alicia, who absorbed and developed the supernatural powers of Hasene, a high-ranking spiritual supernatural power, and made them completely her own.
If she only eats her mind, it is not a task to read the other person’s thoughts or feelings.
Of course, it took her a while to fully introspect, but a brief eye contact was enough to get a rough idea of her intentions.
I don’t know if her name, Rael, is really her real name. In any case, the fragments of her feelings that clumsy Miss Rael had shown in front of Alicia so far were clearly mixed with deceit and hatred.
Neither of her emotions were something that her normal maid would show in front of her, and her physical ability and reaction speed were left alone, and her hypersensitivity to her holy water further increased her suspiciousness. .
But that doesn’t mean you can’t be vigilant, that woman broke even the oath of silence and oath of allegiance, the imperial family’s security measures that were almost cursed, and infiltrated as Alicia’s bath attendant.
That would be a daunting task even for the Imperial Counterintelligence Enforcers, who were extremely trained for stealth and stealth, or the Assassins, the Imperial Family’s secret special forces.
Isn’t it a stark contrast to showing a clumsy appearance in many ways?
She was Alicia, who thought that even her appearance was a tactic to distract her, or at least for some reason.
Then what’s behind it?
Alicia thought as she exhaled as she put her mouth to the water and boo, like a child.
—Bugrrrr…
‘Your first brother? No… Of course, the second older brother is the one who is capable of plotting such a gloomy deed. Or the possibility of a third force cannot be completely ruled out.
The Imperial Princess is naive, but she is by no means stupid.
No, rather, Alicia’s brain is much sharper than her peers.
The reason why she was able to devote her full time to her external activities and hobbies without doing anything different from her childhood was because she had completed all of the imperial family’s required education before she was even ten years old.
To put it mildly, Alicia clearly belonged to the so-called genius.
Instead of paying attention to politics or current events, she pursues a sweet sex life with her beloved master, in which cum and pussy juice do not dry up, simply because she wants such a life.
It wasn’t because she was a goblin prostitute who only knew how to groan in her cock.
Furthermore.
Several disturbing events that have occurred around her recently, including the Rivera Salon incident.
A fight between the successors that he never wanted but was forced to become involved in.
And, the time of contemplation that I had while being stuck on the other side of my memory.
It was enough of a catalyst to awaken Alicia’s other self, who just wanted a quiet and lustful life.
Alicia is also clearly the emperor’s daughter.
Even at this moment, the blood of the ruler flows in her veins.
‘Then, the key is how to deal with him… ‘
In the middle of a hot tub, in the midst of contemplation.
Rael quietly approached Alicia with a glass of dewy vincho and a few pieces of fruit on a tray.
“Sorry for taking so long, Your Highness.”
“No! I had something to think about, and I brought it to you at just the right timing.”
Alicia smiled, took her tray, and set it afloat on the water.
To be honest, she almost fell asleep while waiting, but she didn’t bother saying it out of her mouth.
Because she didn’t want to stay in the bathtub for too long, she didn’t finish her work and wasted her time.
Even so, she is a completely degraded lady-in-waiting.
Aside from her work ability, Rael’s sense and manners in serving her superiors were at such a level that even an ordinary aristocratic family, not just the imperial palace, would be kicked out in a day.
To be precise, the feeling that something important is missing. Maybe she’s never had a social life, or maybe she’s lived a life where she doesn’t need to be noticed by others.
In many ways, she was an underachiever as a lady-in-waiting.
She was Alicia with a lot of originality and weak heart, but at this level, she would have seriously considered dismissing Rael even if he had been her official handmaid, not her spy.
“Then come back quickly, it must be cold.”
“Go, thank you…!”
On the other hand, Rael, who had a faint smile as if he had regained her tranquility after getting out of her bathtub, twitched the corner of her eyes at Alicia’s command and took it again.
—Fuck!
Alicia, who was watching her closely, snapped her fingers and brought another glass from the mini bar.
At the meticulous mana control reminiscent of an archmage, Rael took a breath as if he was embarrassed for a moment.
“Come on, take it. It’s a bit like drinking alone, right? Let’s listen together.”
Actually, Alicia just smiled casually and handed the half cup of drink she poured herself to Rael.
“Woah, it’s an honor.”
“Huh? What’s the reaction like? Did you get poisoned by any chance?”
“No! How can you…!”
—Gulp!
Rael hurriedly empties her glass, frightened by Alicia’s joking words.
“Ahaha!”
Alicia held her stomach and giggled at Rael’s panic as her ice-cold expression was broken.
Rael avoids Alicia’s gaze with her face blushing slightly.
“Whoa… Rael, do you hear a lot of cute things around you?”
“Oh, no! I hear a lot of people say that it’s scary or brittle. The word cute means…”
“Ah, why? You’re so cute. I’ve never seen a lady-in-waiting as cute as you.”
“That, like that…”
I don’t know if it’s about being bullied, although it wasn’t really Alicia’s taste to bully others.
For some reason, this cute spy kept provoking her sadism.
It doesn’t seem like it, but the reaction is so funny that she feels like she wants to play more and more mischievous pranks.
Originally, she was going to stay afloat and keep her distance or see an opportunity and imprison her, but Alicia changed her plan and decided to tease the clumsy spy a little more.
“Hmm… By the way, is that hair color natural? Of course silver hair is the same, but white hair isn’t common at all, right?”
“Yes. This is the inheritance from the mother… Side.”
“Aha, it’s the same as me. I also inherited my mom’s hair color. Almost all of the direct descendents of the imperial family have blonde hair. I’m the only one with silver hair, right? That’s why I heard a lot of comments when I was little.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah. She looks so much like her mother, and since she passed the golden test right away, it soon became quiet. Until then, even rumors that she might not be His Majesty’s daughter were circulating.”
“That…”
Alicia secretly pretended to be drunk and began to tell her about her personal affairs.
It was literally a meaningless story that left out the details, but to people who didn’t know it, it looked like a drunken princess blowing important information about the imperial family.
If so, what will be the reaction? Alicia narrowed her eyes and studied Rael’s expression.
Then, as expected, Rael opened her eyes wide and was fully focused.
“Ha.”
“Why, why?”
“No. Just. Talking about the old days suddenly makes me emotional.”
“I see… Then, how can I bring you another drink?”
“No. It’s not even necessary. It’s mealtime soon, right? It’s troublesome to fill your stomach too much.”
“Ah, I see…”
How can you look so clear? Rael was truly the kind of person Alicia had never seen before.
I want to play with them more and play with them however I want.
She was Alicia, about to open her eyes to something new.
