Volume 1 + Chapter 45: I Knew She Would Come

Eve had something on her mind, so her footsteps were hurried.

This time when Eve walked to the Royal Palace gate, she wasn’t stopped. Even the knights responsible for guarding the gate nodded respectfully to Eve.

Originally Eve was hesitating whether to let them go in and announce her arrival, but seeing that they had no intention of stopping her at all when they saw her, Eve still walked in with some confusion.

The Royal Palace was vast, but that didn’t prevent Eve from successfully finding Princess Alice’s chambers.

However, before walking much further, Eve’s attention was drawn to an elegant beautiful matron sitting under a gazebo in the garden, slightly squinting her eyes while savoring her tea.

The matron was simply too beautiful, her delicate and cool countenance mixed with a contrasting gentleness. Her curvaceous figure was like a ripened fruit, causing Eve to couldn’t help but take a few extra glances.

Inside the Imperial Royal Palace, seeing beautiful women wasn’t anything unusual.

Let alone Princess Alice, one of the empire’s peak beauties, even those maids’ appearances could stand out in a crowd.

After all, this was royal-level aesthetics. You could doubt the Imperial Royal Family’s incompetence and poor governance, but you couldn’t doubt the Imperial Royal Family’s taste and aesthetics.

That beautiful matron clearly noticed Eve as well. Her delicate face showed no ripples, but when looking at Eve, her eyes carried some different emotions as they moved.

Their gazes briefly met, and Eve was the first to look away, after all, it wasn’t appropriate to stare at members of the Royal Family.

Who knows, that lady might even be the wife of some great noble.

But undeniably she was truly beautiful, that gentle and elegant appearance, just one glance made Eve unable to forget.

Meanwhile on the other side, Princess Alice had received news from the Church Academy and had been waiting early on the balcony, certain that Eve would come looking for her.

She held a delicate small telescope in her hand, patiently anticipating Eve’s figure since several hours ago.

Suddenly, Eve’s graceful figure appeared in her view. Alice was overjoyed, and while putting away the telescope, she hurriedly woke up the maid who had almost fallen asleep beside her.

“She’s here! She really came, I told you she would definitely come. How is it? Is my hairstyle still suitable? What about my makeup?”

Princess Alice was so excited she seemed about to jump up, repeatedly asking the maid beside her if her appearance was proper and beautiful.

As for her clothes, she wasn’t too concerned, after all they would all be taken off directly in a while, so it didn’t matter if they looked good or not.

The key was whether the underwear was chosen well, this was the decisive factor.

“Your Highness, haven’t you forgotten that the empress has invited guests from the Lorraine family for tea in the back garden today? You’d better not be too unrestrained.”

The maid stood beside the delighted-looking Alice, with some difficulty in her expression.

“It’s fine, mother has important guests, and so do I. Besides, how about the matter I asked you to handle?”

“Everything has been resolved. Some who knew better were willing to apologize after recognizing reality.”

“Mm.” Alice nodded, “And those who didn’t know better?”

“As you said, after using some small measures they became much more obedient, promptly realized their mistakes and made corrections.”

The maid lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly at her princess. The small measures she mentioned concealed topics that couldn’t be touched.

“Good, very good. As they say, it’s never too late for a prodigal to mend their ways. As long as they recognize their mistakes and are willing to reform, they can still be considered salvageable material.”

Watching Eve gradually approaching her chambers, Alice couldn’t help but squeeze her thighs wrapped in white lace over-knee stockings.

What was also squeezed was her soft and crisp voice.

Seeing Eve looking around, obviously unable to find the specific location, Alice didn’t care that this was the Royal Palace’s restricted area, and the matter of her mother inviting important guests for talks was also thrown to the back of her mind.

“Miss Eve, darling! Over here, over here, I’ve left the door open for you, just come up directly.”

Princess Alice leaned on the balcony edge, her gaze towards Eve carried a hint of haziness, as if it could draw out threads.

She waved to Eve while shouting with all her might.

This frightened the maid beside her so much her face changed color, and she hurriedly went up to cover her princess’s mouth.

One word from her princess’s mouth could possibly result in her entire family being executed.

Have to say, the princess really knew how to play. She knew early on that Eve would come, yet didn’t let her go down to welcome her. Originally the maid was curious about why, but now she understood the reason.

If this was heard by the empress it would be unthinkable, no… if it was heard by His Majesty, the sky would probably fall down.

After all, the princess’s image in front of her father emperor and mother empress was that of an obedient girl like a little white rabbit.

“Your Highness, pardon my rudeness, but what are you doing? If this is heard by the empress…”

The maid was very nervous.

“Oh, mother won’t hear it. Besides, don’t you think this is exciting? It’s a pity Miss Eve won’t cooperate with me, otherwise, I would use some invisible magic to bring her to tonight’s dinner room where I’ll dine with father and mother.”

“The tablecloth would be just right to hide Miss Eve, then I could let her help me, hehe…”

“Father and mother would be chatting with me on and off, while I would answer properly on the surface, but actually already trembling all over, cold sweat flowing, this kind of exciting feeling, just thinking about it…”

Hearing her princess’s words, the maid wasn’t surprised at all.

After all, having followed the princess for so many years, she was already used to it.

“You’d better just think about this, don’t actually do it.”

The maid wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. Although she hadn’t done any physical work, her back was already soaked with sweat.

“I’m not a child anymore.”

Alice pursed her lips, grumbling with displeasure.

“I like her from the bottom of my heart, why should I hide it. I’ve already lost her once, this time I won’t lose her again…”

“Unless it’s in bed, hehe.”

The maid thought her princess had returned to being serious when speaking from the heart, but didn’t expect that before three sentences were finished, it had completely gone off track.

The wheel ran over the maid’s face before she even realized it.

Is it possible that the palace’s doctrines have suppressed the princess too much usually, so she needs an outlet?

And Eve happens to be that outlet?

After all, the Imperial Royal Family’s rules require Alice to keep herself pure, maintaining virginity before marriage is the bottom line, and self-satisfaction would be viewed as a devil-like existence.

The child has grown up, having desires is normal, but have you seen any proper girl with so many little toys that they can’t even fit in the cabinet?
