Volume 1 + Chapter 46: I Can Only Give You My Most Precious Thing

After much persuasion from the maid, Princess Alice finally agreed to be properly dressed when meeting Eve.

At least Eve hadn’t even come upstairs yet, and she wasn’t down to just wearing a thin, slightly transparent cute white stocking.

It was still the kind with lace trim decorating the absolute territory on her thighs, and reinforced toe design.

Just like a plate of fine cuisine, not only giving people a fresh visual sensation, but also preserving the inherent taste of the ingredients in terms of flavor.

To be honest, seeing the princess she had been taking care of since childhood being so eager to please Eve, the maid felt uncomfortable.

It wasn’t because she was upset that Eve had taken advantage of their precious princess, but rather because Eve had no interest in pursuing Alice at all.

It was clear that Eve’s attitude towards Alice was the same as theirs, the maids who acted both as servants and mothers.

It was purely love and affection, just like raising a cute pet lamb, you would like it when it acts spoiled or cute with you, but you would never develop romantic feelings for it.

What the maid truly couldn’t bear to watch was her princess’s unrequited love.

“Excuse me, Princess Alice, today you…”

Eve was slightly surprised, she was about to say how Alice was wearing so much today, wondering if she felt cold.

After all, this was the first time she had met Alice privately where she was dressed so properly.

Given Princess Alice’s personality, even with her maids present, she would usually be at least 50-60% undressed.

Then after sending the maids away, she would completely be herself, not treating Eve as an outsider at all.

To be honest, after seeing it so many times, Eve knew exactly where every mole was on the princess’s body.

“You look very beautiful today.”

Eve smiled awkwardly, fortunately she hadn’t spoken her thoughts out loud, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

“Come in quickly, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, please sit down first.”

Alice very naturally hugged Eve’s arm, her intimate manner making the maid beside them unable to bear watching.

“Okay… um, Your Highness, there are plenty of seats here, you don’t need to sit on my lap, right?”

Eve looked troubled at the petite girl sitting on her thigh, wearing an elegant princess dress with side slits paired with cute white stockings, sitting obediently on Eve’s lap like a delicate doll.

Of course, it would be better if her little hands could behave themselves and not touch Eve’s black stockings on her legs.

“I know.”

Alice nodded, but showed no intention of moving, just clinging to Eve unwilling to move even slightly.

“Well, actually this time I came because I have something to ask of you. I hope you can help me… I really have no other options.”

Eve sighed slightly, mentally repeating “it’s all for the children” before finally gathering the courage to speak to Alice.

“Mm, I already know about everything.”

Alice nodded, while nuzzling Eve’s chest with her soft cheek and mumbling softly.

“You already know?”

“Yes, after all it caused quite a stir, there was even the grandson of an imperial meritorious official involved, I put in quite a lot of effort to settle things down.”

Alice looked at Eve, appearing as if she had truly made many efforts and sacrifices for Eve.

That soft gaze made Eve feel somewhat guilty.

“You’ve already helped me… I’m so sorry for causing such trouble.”

“Oh, why are you being so formal? We’re family, and family doesn’t need such formalities.”

Princess Alice gently interrupted Eve, seeing her being so well-behaved and understanding, Eve felt momentarily dazed.

Why was the princess so well-behaved this time? Seeing her being so obedient, even her sneaky hand movements touching Eve’s thighs seemed less offensive.

“However, I did put in quite a lot of effort to help you, just the bribes up and down took quite a bit of thought.”

“So, Miss Eve, how should you repay me?”

Princess Alice smiled while looking at Eve, and although she didn’t say that formulaic line out loud…

Her eyes seemed to have said it thousands of times already.

After all, madam, you wouldn’t want to…

“Alright, I understand. There’s no such thing as a free lunch, in that case, I can only give you my most precious thing.”

Eve’s beautiful eyes showed a hint of hesitation.

“Really?”

Alice was overjoyed, the most precious thing, wouldn’t that be Miss Eve’s… first time?

Woo-hoo!

If it weren’t for the burden of being a princess still restraining her, Alice would have probably jumped three meters high by now.
