'This was the best night I have ever had in my entire life!'

'Heh. It was an amazing experience for me as well'

'Mhm! Let's do it again!'

'Hahaha~ Calm down Edda, we can't do something like this regularly. Even though you are a cultivator, you will tire yourself out~'

'Ughh… I wish I could raise my cultivation faster…'

'Don't worry, you will become a Grand Master Stage Cultivator soon.'

'Hehe~ You and I will need to work hard for it, especially you'

'Heh. I am not scared of hard work, rather, I enjoy it'

'Of course you do'

A big smile appeared on Edda's face as she recalled her conversation with Nux.

Last night was truly awesome and anyone could tell how happy Edda was by looking at the wide and silly smile on her face.

Right now, she was rushing towards the Royal Palace.

No actually, rather than her, Nux, who was carrying her was hurrying towards the Palace.

Why?

Because she was late again.

However, she wasn't as panicked as before.

It had already happened a few times.

She doesn't really care about it now.

Also, she won't be able to change anything even if she panics, so what's the point in worrying about it?

Wouldn't it be better to just tighten her hug around Nux and enjoy the ride?

"Heeh? You are pretty relaxed today huh…" Nux commented as he noticed it as well.

"Indeed…" Edda answered lazily.

"Huh? Didn't you say that you will work hard so that we can have a session like this again? Why are you acting all lazy now?" Nux questioned.

"I am saving my energy so that I can work later."

"Ahh, that makes sense."

"Also, it's not like I will work hard as a head maid of the Royal Palace… that, I will do slowly and lazily.

I will only work hard for the plan that you have for Lad- Sister Allura." Edda answered.

"Tsk Tsk, what a bad head maid," Nux commented.

"Hoh? Aren't I the best head maid? Am I not your favourite?" Edda questioned.

"I am just talking from the Royal Palace's point of view. In my point of you, you are the best Head maid I could ever hope for. My serious outside but a pervert inside head maid." Nux smiled.

A smile appeared on Edda's face as she answered,

"I only care about your point of view~"

"Hahaha~"

The two of them soon appeared in front of the Royal Palace and Nux stopped.

"Ugh… I need to work again…" Edda groaned in displeasure.

"Just keep it up for a few more days~" Nux smiled.

Edda smiled back before she climbed down from his back and started walking towards the Palace.

"Alright, I will meet you soon~" Edda smiled and waved her hand at Nux.

Nux smiled, he kissed her lips and then turned around.

Edda then turned around and walked towards the Palace as well.

However, as soon as she entered the palace, she heard a high-pitched voice.

"Head Maid Edda, You are Late.

I know that the spring has bloomed a little late in your life, however, that does not mean you can ignore your duties.

This is the 4th time now, how many times are you going to keep repeating the same mistakes?

How are you going to fix that 5 minutes gap that you have created?"

Edda sighed inwardly and glanced at the woman standing in front of her with a dead look on her face. _{ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​}

'What a bitch like voice and face.'

She thought inwardly and soon, a smile appeared on Edda's face.

"I apologize that I am late, however, being loved by someone is a completely new experience for me since unlike you, who goes whoring around sleeping with any men they find for the tiniest of advantage, I was a pure and innocent woman a few days ago.

And having just tasted the forbidden fruit, it is a little difficult for me to handle up with everything."

Suddenly, a strict expression appeared on her face and she narrowed her eyes.

"However, Sub Head Maid Edrea, I still do not understand how and since when was this your duty to keep tabs on my schedule?

I believe people responsible for this can do their work just fine, you do not need to involve yourself."

Edrea's face turned red in anger.

'This bitch really has a vile mouth'

'"Head Maid Edda, I indeed do not have any obligations to keep tabs on your schedule, however, I feel that if the Head Maid of the Royal Palace shows irresponsible behaviour like this, other maids might not do their work properly.

I just don't want you to set a bad example, Head Maid Edda." "Oh? Is that so?"

"Indeed." Edrea nodded with a smile on her face.

"Ah, I just remembered, have you checked the rations?"

"Yes, Head Maid Edda, I have checked the ration, wheat, pulses, fruits and vegetables, everything is stocked up and is ready to use.

You don't have to worry about it, I do not slack off"

"What about clothes, have you made sure all the washed clothes are sent back to where they came from?"

"Yes, I had a few maids check the whole process, it is done. As I said, you do not need to worry, I do not slack off."

"Good, Ah yes, I remembered, Liliana is on a holiday today, have you distributed her work to other maids?"

"Huh?" Suddenly, Edrea frowned.

"What? Have you done it or not?" Edda questioned.

"But you did not order me to do it…"

"Haah? Aren't you the subhead maid? Aren't you the one who is responsible to manage everything after me? Don't tell me you need an order to do something as simple as this!

What's the use of having you around if I need to remind you to do things like this?

Aren't you practically useless?

Why don't you become a normal maid?

You asked me how I am going to compensate for those 5 minutes I have wasted but what about you? How are you going to compensate for this?

Who will do Liliana's work? You? Huh?

What a useless woman!" Edda screamed in anger.

What was Edda doing?

She was using her status to bully Edrea.

Actually, even if Edrea had done something about it, Edda would have simply found fault in something else.

She was the boss here!

Can Edrea do anything about it?

Heck no!

Actually, her trying to go against her superior was a stupid idea to begin with.

Edda was not easy to bully.

Now, Edrea could only listen and grit her teeth in frustration.

"It's better to focus on your own work rather than doing useless things. I have had enough of your incompetent ass roaming around here.

Fix yourself or you will have to face the consequences, am I clear?"

Edda questioned.

"…"

"I asked, Am I Clear?"

Edrea gritted her teeth in anger however, in the end…

"Y-Yes"

She could only bow and nod.
