Volume 1 + Chapter 12: The Princess of Contrasts

“I see, then these past 2 years must have been very difficult for you.”

“It was fine, felt like taking a nap in a cramped space.”

“A witch is still a witch, truly amazing. However… embracing a witch like this, as an Imperial Princess, I’m doing something that goes against both morals and laws, it really makes one feel… so thrilling.”

“…”

Eve spent half an hour finally calming down the Princess who was nearly out of control.

Although Eve reasoned with logic and appealed to emotions, ultimately stabilizing the situation, barely preventing anything from happening…

But looking at the Princess who was tightly clinging to her, wearing nothing… no, to be precise, she still had something on, like those translucent white over-knee stockings with a hint of pink on her legs?

You tell me if she’s wearing anything or not.

Eve told her about her experiences during this period while helping the Princess collect her clothes scattered around the room.

“So I had no choice, that’s why I came here to ask for Your Highness’s help.”

Eve bent her knees slightly, jumped with precision, and hooked down the pink panties hanging from the chandelier above with her fingers.

It had to be said that Her Highness had quite some strength, Eve couldn’t quite understand how those got thrown up there.

“Just call me Alice.”

Princess Alice rested her chin on her hand as she lay on the sofa, her small feet wrapped in translucent white stockings swaying slightly, showing both playfulness and undisguised joy.

After all, this was another meeting with her secret crush after 2 years of one-sided love.

Princess Alice’s gaze toward Eve was so alluring it seemed like it could form threads.

“Alright, Your Highness. Please put your clothes on first, it’s a bit chilly…”

“Is it? But I feel quite hot. You don’t know how uncomfortable those chest bindings and corsets are, constricting my body all day long. It’s rare to have a chance to relax, just let me talk to you like this.”

Princess Alice pursed her delicate lips, softly coaxing Eve.

If it were anyone else, seeing the usually dignified and gentle Princess acting coquettishly like this, even sharing her private troubles that no one else knew, they would have probably fallen for her already.

But who was Eve? She understood Princess Alice before her better than anyone.

In Eve’s memory, since Eve had helped her before, she had become completely devoted to Eve.

This girl, who appeared serious and even somewhat aloof in temperament, should never be judged by her appearance.

Her public dignity was all a facade; when alone with Eve, she would unreservedly show her true self.

In her words, Eve was special, and with Eve, she didn’t need to wear various masks, she just liked being herself.

When Eve first met the Princess and heard these words, she was quite happy, thinking she had opened up the heart of this long-suppressed Princess.

She even encouraged her, supporting her to be free-spirited in front of herself, saying it was their little secret.

Little did she know… the Princess was actually a deeply hidden little succubus, and moreover, one who had been completely turned by Eve’s personal charm.

It was only afterward that Eve learned this dignified Princess actually had so many little toys that her cabinet couldn’t hold them all. She had even given Eve a special tour, though this memory was absolutely traumatic for the original Eve…

And Alice specifically emphasized that none of these toys were insertable, saving her most important thing for Eve.

She even took out her favorite one, saying she wanted to give it to Eve.

It scared Eve so much that she fled overnight, running incredibly fast.

This was also why, even though Eve had noticed some signs that the ungrateful child was planning to report her as a witch, she hadn’t sought help from Princess Alice.

After all, it would only take some behind-the-scenes manipulation by the Princess to have the ungrateful child arrested for falsely accusing a Church Cardinal Deacon, followed by a major memory recovery spell, and Eve could have continued living her peaceful life helping others.

But Eve didn’t do that, partly because of her obsession with the ungrateful child, and partly because the psychological trauma caused by Princess Alice was simply too great.

However, although the Princess was perverted and full of contrasts, her feelings for Eve were truly sincere.

This was also why Eve, after much consideration, chose to ask for her help.

After all, Eve’s personal charm was simply too strong. Coming to help in times of need, beauty saving beauty without asking for anything in return, not to mention being beautiful and handling matters decisively and gracefully — forget Princess Alice, even a steel bar would have been bent.

Princess Alice had grown up in a rather suppressive environment, she rarely smiled, and as the well-behaved princess, she had no outlet to release her accumulated pressure.

So having finally caught Eve, she naturally wanted to show her most authentic self, holding nothing back.

Eve had to admit, it was very authentic… so authentic that only a pair of translucent white over-knee stockings remained — could there be anything more authentic and unreserved than this?

“I remember the last time we met 2 years ago, you were also like this. When I wasn’t around, you must have spent quite some time alone in this state, right?”

“Nonsense! The last time we met 2 years ago… I was wearing black stockings.”

Princess Alice stated the first half of the sentence righteously, then seemed to realize something and softened her tone slightly.

That look could be described as extremely cute, but Eve knew very well not to be deceived by her.

This girl… would devour you whole.

“We haven’t seen each other for 2 years, I really thought you were dead. Do you know how I’ve spent these 2 years?”

“Just look at the wear and tear on the little toys and you’ll know.”

Eve responded heartlessly.

“Wuwu!”

Princess Alice nearly burst into tears from frustration, and seeing her eyes already filled with tears, Eve finally realized something was wrong.

This girl’s expression didn’t seem like the deliberate performance Eve remembered to evoke sympathy, the hurt on her face seemed genuine…

“You could have come to me for protection, but you didn’t… I only learned about it the day you were sent to the execution ground.”

“My world collapsed… Those who judged you, executed you, and even cursed you after your death, I’ve basically found ways to punish them all. Now there’s basically only one target left, that’s your daughter Vivian.”

“You could say that for these past 2 years, my life has been filled with your shadow everywhere. I missed you so much, but now that I see you again… you won’t even give me a hug.”
