Volume 1 + Chapter 48: Doing This in Front of Your Mother… Isn’t Appropriate

“Hello.”

Eve hurriedly stood up to greet, but her foot slipped, and she almost lost her balance.

Fortunately, her core strength was quite good, after all, she was a witch with a perfect figure, and those beautiful abs weren’t just for attracting pretty girls.

However, Eve was curious about what she had stepped on…

But facing the elegant and aloof empress, she couldn’t be disrespectful by looking down, so she could only glance with her peripheral vision. What she saw was shocking, under Eve’s high heels was a white stocking adorned with lace trim.

This stocking was all too familiar to Eve.

Wasn’t it the same kind of stocking that Princess Alice had been constantly showing off by lifting her princess dress’s slit since the moment she walked in?

When did this girl take it off? So quick… Eve hadn’t even noticed.

If Empress Chancelianne hadn’t come to intervene, in just a few more seconds, the princess would probably have been completely undressed again.

To be honest, if Princess Alice was properly dressed and elegantly mannered, Eve might have found it unfamiliar.

But seeing the princess wearing only black or white stockings, Eve would instinctively think… now this makes sense.

This image of Alice had almost become like an anti-counterfeiting mark in Eve’s eyes.

If there ever was a plot about distinguishing between real and fake princesses, Eve could easily identify the real Alice.

After all, who else in this world could be more perverted than her?

“Hmm… Alice’s friend? That’s quite rare, this child has never brought a friend back to her private chambers before.”

Chancelianne looked at Eve before her, her expression showing no ripples, but her scrutinizing gaze made Eve feel somewhat nervous.

The person before her was, after all, the empire’s empress with an overwhelming presence. Even Princess Alice had to behave properly in front of her, so it wasn’t hard to imagine she was a formidable character.

Moreover, what Eve was stepping on right now was the delicate stocking her precious daughter had just taken off.

If the empress took just one step forward, she would probably be able to see the fine white silk under Eve’s red-soled high heels.

At that point, even if Eve had two mouths, she couldn’t explain it away.

Fortunately, the empress didn’t take that step forward, stopping at the critical distance.

This made Eve breathe a sigh of relief, but beside her, Alice seemed to be secretly laughing?

This wasn’t Eve’s first time seeing the empress. The stunning young woman she had locked eyes with in the garden on her way here was the empress before her.

Up close, she was even more beautiful, the imperial family’s aesthetic standards were truly first-class.

“Mother, did you come just to meet my friend?”

“I came to tell you not to miss dinner later, as we have important guests.”

Then she turned her gaze toward Eve, who looked somewhat awkward. Seeing Eve’s nervous appearance, the empress couldn’t help but show a slight smile.

After all, beautiful people tend to look pleasing no matter what they do.

Not to mention someone as beautiful as Eve, and being the first friend her daughter had brought back, she must hold quite an important position in her daughter’s heart, right?

However…

Chancelianne was a bit curious, weren’t they standing a bit too close together? While talking, they had practically pressed against each other…

“If your friend doesn’t mind, she’s welcome to join us for dinner.”

Chancelianne glanced at Eve, whose expression seemed somewhat unusual, but since they were both girls, she didn’t think much of it.

She assumed Eve was just introverted and naturally nervous meeting the empire’s empress.

What Chancelianne didn’t know was that her completely trusted precious daughter was currently secretly grasping Eve’s delicate hand hidden behind her back, her long fingers constantly stroking Eve’s soft palm with practiced movements that made Eve’s heart race in trepidation.

This was just palm stroking, if it were something else, Eve didn’t even dare to imagine…

“That depends on whether she wants to.”

Alice responded with a smile, maintaining her gentle and elegant appearance.

“Alright, then I won’t disturb you two.”

Chancelianne nodded gently, the light falling on her beautiful chestnut-colored wavy long hair, complementing her exquisitely refined face that emanated gentleness and grace, like a painting that took one’s breath away.

Unfortunately, Eve, whose palm was being stroked by Alice, had no heart to appreciate it, feeling like she was already sweating profusely from nervousness.

“Goodbye, Mother.”

After confirming Chancelianne had left, Alice finally dropped her facade, gently biting her lip and giving Eve an incredibly seductive smile.

She withdrew her fingers from Eve’s palm, which was still dotted with Eve’s nervous sweat.

Alice showed no sign of disgust, directly licking it with her small tongue – Eve’s taste was sweeter than candy to her.

“That was just a small interlude, Miss Eve, where were we?”

Alice advanced step by step, the little succubus before her seemingly unable to completely suppress her true nature anymore. She couldn’t wait to devour Eve whole.

Before her, Eve was like a weak little white rabbit, completely without any means of resistance.

In the blink of an eye, Alice had already moved close, her small mouth slightly pursed, about to give Eve a fierce kiss.

But just then, another series of urgent high-heel footsteps approached from afar, but this time, Alice clearly didn’t have enough time to react.

“Alice, I just saw a draft paper on the table, it had… Hmm? What are you two doing?”
