Chapter 299 – Astonishment
The palace of light where the imperial princess resides.
Although it is the servants’ iron rule to serve the imperial family day and night, they are also strict people.
Of course, there is a rest area inside the palace, and servants, including ladies-in-waiting, gather there separately to enjoy a sweet break, such as having a meal or taking a nap.
However, since it was a busy time right now, there were only two people gathered in the break room.
“Are you nervous?”
The lady-in-waiting, with her arms crossed, looked at the lady-in-waiting with long curly white hair and a calm look.
It was a strict gaze, but in it, warmth, trust, and weak worries coexist. It is reminiscent of a veteran soldier watching a new recruit go into combat for the first time.
“If you’re nervous, your movements will become unnatural. So just do what you’ve learned.”
Spica, the maid in charge of education with bobbed ultramarine hair.
She was in the process of tutoring her new bath maid, Rael, once again as she prepares to go into battle for the first time. Because no mistakes are tolerated in serving the imperial princess.
“If possible, pay more attention to your facial expressions. People with cold faces like us can easily get misunderstood. Even if you don’t like it, just think of them as smiling all the time.”
Even so, I don’t think it’s interfering too much in every case. All of her colleagues are well aware that she is a bit clumsy in her expressions.
Even though her career is quite long and objectively evaluated, she is quite capable, but the reason why she took a step back from the front line and is in charge of education was largely due to her personality.
So, her bitter voice must be her own way of cheering.
“I understand, senior.”
Rael smiled softly at Spica.
Her restrained emotions and attitude, as well as her strange composure, showed her unmatched skill as a rookie.
Spica asked quietly while gently stroking her trusted junior Katyusha.
“The princess is very merciful. So nothing to worry about will happen. As I’ve already said, she’s active and talkative, so you just have to take that into consideration in everything you do. And… I’m just saying this just in case.”
“Yes?”
Spica hesitated for a moment to stop her words.
It seems like he is seriously contemplating whether he should say this or not. This was unusual for her, who rarely showed her emotions outwardly. It was also the first time she had ever seen Rael.
‘What is it?’
In Rael’s eyes, she had a suspicious expression that could not be hidden.
“Yes. If you’re in charge of the bath, you’ll find out anyway. The princess sometimes shows up in a rather embarrassing way. It’s obvious, but don’t bother showing it. Okay?”
“Yes. I’ll keep that in mind, senior.”
When Rael nodded her head with a serious face at a meaningful word that could never be overlooked.
— Whoops!
A faint vibration sounded from the blue earrings attached to Spica’s earlobes.
It looks like an ordinary accessory, but its true identity is a convenient artifact that allows you to have a conversation anywhere inside the Palace of Light as if you were right in front of you.
Spica put her hand on her face to help her concentrate, and Leona’s message resounded in Spica’s ear.
[Spica? Her Highness has ordered her to prepare a bath, so that the maid in charge can be put in as of the current time]
[Good reception. I’ll upload it right now]
Spica nodded her head as if she had expected it in advance.
“Okay, now we can go up. The princess generally prefers to take two baths a day, but in the morning, it’s just about now. Then… Have a good trip.”
“Thank you for your support, senior. I’ll be back.”
Spica lightly touched Rael’s shoulder and took a step away from her.
At that, Rael nodded his head and quietly stepped out of the break room.
—Sue
Strangely, no footsteps could be heard in her new model as it slipped away.
With her white hair and faint presence, she looked more like a ghost or an assassin than a lady-in-waiting.
Spica looked at her from behind and murmured briefly.
“Please.”
Rael was her junior because her personality was similar to hers. Most of her is from a prestigious family, so unlike the maids who entered the palace while doing other things, she decided to become a maid from a young age.
No matter how well the court ladies were treated and their social status was high. In the end, it is like the ladies of a noble house who have lived their lives caring for others overnight become subordinates who serve others.
It goes without saying that this is a very difficult decision.
It would be impossible if there was no loyalty to the empire itself and furthermore to the imperial family.
That’s why Spica felt that Rael’s determination was very noble. If you were born as a citizen of the empire, wouldn’t you have to give all your allegiance to the imperial family?
Spica gently put her hands together. Then, in her heart, she prayed that her first mission with Rael would be successful.
* * *
A large public bath located on the top floor of the Palace of Gwangmyeong.
All of the bath attendants who perform their first mission here are often surprised. This is despite the fact that the preliminary survey was completed in order to smoothly perform the mission.
This is because all the facilities in the large public bath do not fully function until Alicia, the owner of the place, sets her foot within a certain radius.
—Shoot!
“…!”
Rael, who had reached the public bath before Alicia and was inspecting her inside, was also startled.
The white marble bathtub, which was so large that it seemed desolate, quickly began to reveal its true form decorated with green jade and agate. Masterpieces and statues magically rose from the seemingly empty, hard walls.
I don’t know if that’s all. A slit at the end of the bathtub had opened and a magnificent golden statue in the shape of a golden double-headed eagle had protruded.
Feeling a strange sense of incongruity with the lighting, I glanced up, and the ceiling, which began to project the morning sunlight as it was, rather than artificial light, left the viewer at a loss for words.
It really looked like a lie.
“Oops…! I’ve never received this kind of information before.”
Rael groaned and murmured in his low voice.
Originally, this was a kind of special secret shared only among bath maids from generation to generation, but it was because her predecessor, Anna, was forced to retire due to sudden health deterioration, and she was not informed of the fact.
—Rush!
Rael’s large, well-shaped breasts fluttered and swayed as she shrank in her embarrassment, and the slippery floor almost threw her off balance for a second.
“…My body isn’t responding properly. It’s annoying.”
Rael’s expressionless expression like ice frowned, and blue bloodstains appeared around her eyes.
She looked terrifying, as if she was about to do something, very different from the lithe attitude she had seen in front of her Spica earlier.
That moment.
— Beat beat
Hehe~”
The sound of footsteps and humming came from outside the bath.
“Hot!”
In response, Rael quickly corrected his posture and put his hands together to cover his cheeks in a respectful stance.
In a space where even the most noble woman in the empire, the princess, candidly reveals her appearance as she was born, it is literally outrageous for a mere maid to wear clothes.
Of course, Rael was also naked, not wearing a single thread.
No matter how prepared she was in advance, she couldn’t help but feel that her face blushed spontaneously when she faced another person naked.
‘This I… !’
Rael did his best to control her emotions, suppressing her rising anger and shame.
However.
“Glory to the imperial family! I’m Rael, and I’ll be in charge of the princess’s bath as of today!”
“Ah! You are the lady-in-waiting that has just arrived? Nice to meet you~”
The moment Alicia finally appeared before her eyes with a bright smile.
“Sigh…!”
Rael’s eyes widened, and soon her icy expression was terribly distorted by the inconceivable astonishment.
Alicia, her whole body covered in bruises, as if she had been badly beaten by someone.
Her big breasts far exceeded the average size of women in the Empire, and her slender shoulders were covered with manly marks resembling the marks of beast teeth. Her neck and thighs and other delicate and sensitive areas were filled with red hot flowers, as if someone had sucked them hard with their lips.
‘Oh, how could a human do this!’
The bashful pale pink nipples and areolas a little smaller than a gold coin had fang marks engraved with blood.
As soon as Rael saw it, she recalled her memory of witnessing the deformed body of a woman who had been mercilessly raped by a wear wolf in heat and turned into a slut.
Most disturbing of all was her ass.
Is the state of the buttocks of a young child who has committed something irreversible wrong and has been assaulted, narrowly crossing the line between corporal punishment and abuse?
The sight of her voluptuous buttocks, like white drawing paper, terribly ruined by huge handprints and bruises, made the viewer imagine truly terrifying things.
Rael, inadvertently stepping away from Alicia in her indescribable fear.
It was to the point where I couldn’t say anything, but I couldn’t stay still like this.
Rael finally opened his mouth with difficulty.
“Gwa, are you okay? There are wounds on your body…”
“Ah, this? Whoops…! I’m perfectly fine!”
No.
Can it be okay
‘Is that man really a beast? How could you do this to my girl… !’
Although she was Alicia, who showed an excessively calm appearance on the subject of being raped and assaulted mercilessly just enough to not die, and then abandoned on the street.
Rael felt like he wanted to scream.
