BXBX NOVEL Chapter 122
“What? What are you talking about?”
Sion’s sigh can be heard from beyond the door.
“Sure, he won’t hurt you if he is relying on my Sunkland army to support him but…”
If Lambert hurt Mia, then it will immediately turn Sion away from his cause. Also, it will most certainly make him an enemy of the great Tearmoon Empire. This makes the chances of Lambert hurting them low. In addition, there is a man named Jem. If they left the manor, they might encounter that man who might make an attempt on Mia’s life. It was safer to stay at this mansion with Lambert who at least gives them some information.
“But still, staying here for the night…”
Suddenly, sounds of splashing water can be heard as if blocking Sion’s words. Yes, Mia is in the middle of her bath. She was thoroughly enjoying it. Sion was outside the door acting as a guard, but the constant sound of splashing was making him uncomfortable. In an attempt to hide it, he tried to make small talk that sounded like a complain to Mia.
Oh, he’s adorable!
Mia had the accurate insight of Sion being flustered. She seized this opportunity to toy with the superhuman Sion. Just the thought of being able to torment the Perfect Prince gave her a sense of superiority. At one point, she even did a sexy pose in the tub eventhough Sion can’t see from outside the door. She felt like she was not eh Great Seductress of the Empire.
Ufufu… This is my revenge Sion!
Lynsha, however, was standing beside her with a look of annoyance and disgust at Mia’s antics. She was told to wait inside in case something happens. She was wondering if she really has to do this.
While she was thinking such thoughts, Mia got out of the tub and started shampooing her hair. Mia picked up a bottle of shampoo and poured some into her palm. She rubbed it between her palms then frowned.
“Well, this shampoo is not very foamy and to think it came from the Kingdom of Remno… I wonder if Prince Abel’s shampoo gift was a special one…”
“Receiving gifts from a prince?… You really are the princess of the empire… By the way, what kind of shampoo was it?”
“It had a cute horse picture on it. I don’t remember the name …”
“Eh… Uh. For sure that’s…”
Lynsha tilts her head but leaves her sentence unfinished. She decided that ignorance is probably worth this bliss.
“It was a very good shampoo. I have to thank Prince Abel when I met him.”
Lynsha saw Mia smiling… and read the air.
“Yes, that’s right. Yeah, that was good… right?”
“Ufufu, you don’t have to worry. I’m sure that someday you will find a nice young man for yourself.”
Mia, who was soaked in a sense of superiority, was a little annoying. But Lynsha was patient with her, holding back from slapping this cheeky noble brat. After all, Lynsha was the adult.
Ah, even so, when I take a bath like this, I start missing Anne.
Normally, Anne rubs her back for her. But it is something she cannot ask Lynsha to do for her given the current circumstance.
“By the way, you will stop my brother, right?”
“Oh, don’t be too impatient. Haste makes waste, so let’s enjoy this bath for now.”
Mia dodged the question for the time being, but she was thinking what she should do after. Yes… Mia, who has eaten sweets and has improved blood circulation because of the bath, is regaining her normal brain function.
After washing away a few days of sweat and dust, Mia succeeded in regaining about 80% of her beauty. Still, she never came up with a good idea. Cleanliness doesn’t necessarily mean competence.
Mia came out of the bathroom with vapors steaming from her head. The change of clothes that was prepared was a little big, but it was just right comfort for her body that was flushed after the bath.
“Huh, it’s refreshing … Oh? What’s wrong?”
Mia leans her head toward Sion, who has a slightly tired and red face. Sighing and shaking his head, Sion said.
“I’m curious about the plan in your head… But anyway, we should still join Keithwood and others. He is probably already in touch with the Wind Crows. They are surely already searching for us. Also, I have to contact my home country… ”
Sion figured that they have a few more days before things could go wrong badly.
But that speculation turned out to be wrong.
The next day, a scout from the revolutionary army came back with some news. Knights from the Royal Capital has already been seen along the highway.
And it was led by…
Wind Crows = Sunkland’s espionage department
Within the Wind Crows are two factions: Black Crows and White Crows.
