They recognized their feelings, but the knight had been reincarnated as a fox cub

"You didn't give him any trouble on the way, did you?"

"Pfft." Beatrice couldn't help laughing. "If I wanted to do something bad to him, do you think I would have gone to the trouble of letting him go that night?"

Indeed, that's the truth. That night, I was already a damaged version of myself and Kaido was a weakling. As long as Beatrice wanted, neither of them could escape. Since she let the man go, there was no need for Beatrice to attack him. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time to let him go and take unnecessary risks?

Of course Fei'er understood, but she just couldn't help but worry and wanted to ask a question.

"What about Nia?"

"As for Nia, if nothing unexpected happens, you'll be able to see it later." Beatrice said meaningfully.

A while? ?

Just as Fei'er was thinking about the meaning of this sentence, a sound of footsteps came up the stairs and gradually approached the room.

"Greetings, Her Majesty." Nia, dressed in formal maid's attire, appeared at the door. She didn't seem to have any injuries on her body, but her mental state seemed to be a little bad and her face was pale.

When she saw the girl standing next to Beatrice, wearing a maid uniform and with her long golden hair tied in a high ponytail, her face turned even paler.

"........" Fei'er lowered her head silently and clenched the hem of her skirt with both hands. She felt the temperature of her face gradually rising and was about to turn red.

"Oh, Nia, you're here." Beatrice greeted with a smile. "How was your rest? Are you okay?"

Beatrice seemed to really care about Nia when she asked this question. It would be quite touching if Nia's coma was not caused by her.

"............" Nia looked at Fei'er blankly. She seemed to have heard Beatrice asking her and nodded subconsciously.

"Oh, it looks like you've recovered quite well. Actually, you don't have to be so diligent. It's totally fine to rest for a few more days." Beatrice said, and put her arm around Faye's waist. "I don't need you to stand guard by my side for now, but now that you're back, how about patrolling the palace with the royal guards?"

"Or, if you feel that your injury has not healed yet and you want to go back and rest, that's fine too. You don't need to ask me, I'll allow it."

Beatrice knew very well whether Nia was still injured.

Although the effect of [God's Oath] is tricky, it is impossible to hurt people. That day, Nia just fell down due to exhaustion and was not seriously injured.

"Master, you?............" However, Nia did not intend to leave just like that. She looked at Fei'er with a complicated expression and could not speak for a long time.

This also made Fei'er very embarrassed. When her apprentice, whom she had grown up with, saw her in this posture, he wanted to dig a hole in it and crawl into it.

"Okay, Nia, as you can see, I don't need you on duty here for the time being. Go and do what you should do." Beatrice turned her attention back to the documents.

"........Your Majesty."

"how?"

“........Please don’t make things difficult for Master.” After saying so much, Nia could only sigh deeply, secretly feeling guilty that she was not strong enough to save Master.

"Huh? Did I embarrass her?" Beatrice tilted her head. "Your master did all this on her own accord."

"Right?~" Beatrice asked with a smile.

Fei'er just remained silent and didn't say anything.

".......Then, I'll leave first." Beatrice seemed to be urging her to leave, not wanting her to stay here. Nia had no reason to stay any longer, so she had to take her leave. Before leaving, she looked at Fei'er deeply.

"Oh, by the way, you probably haven't heard about it these days in the palace." After Nia left, Beatrice said while reviewing official business.

"Grand Knight Arins died in the line of duty. The campaign against the Principality of Casas has to be cancelled. According to the rules of the Inquisition, Deputy Knight Commander Kaido will take over the position of Grand Knight Arins and continue to lead the Inquisition."

"So, from now on, the Inquisition and the royal nobles will still share power. How about that? Are you happy?" Not sure if it was a joke or something else, Beatrice took the initiative to mention this to Fei'er.

"That's true, but neither the nobles nor the current court can check and balance you." Fei'er was silent for a moment and asked.

"If you think so, then I can't help it." Beatrice raised her eyebrows. "In fact, I now hope that the court will be more useful, so that I don't have to review so many documents all day long."

"I'm afraid you're enjoying it." All matters, big or small, must be submitted to Beatrice for review, which means that Beatrice has such great power that she can influence any decision in the empire.

What if I am a little tired? As long as I can keep the power firmly in my hands, all this is worthwhile and insignificant.

"So, you have always been like this, judging others based on your own personal opinions. If I say that I am now somewhat tired of living a life of dealing with all these trivial matters, would you believe me?"

Faye did not comment.

"Oh, so the answer is no?"

".............Would you mind if someone else took away your power?"

"Of course I mind, but to put it bluntly, gaining power is just a means, a process, not a result." Beatrice stood up and stretched lazily.

"Come on, take a walk with me."

"You've finished grading them already?" Before she knew it, dusk had fallen. Looking at the mountain of official documents on the table, Fei'er was a little unbelievable. She doubted whether Beatrice had carefully read these documents word by word before she started writing.

"if not?"

"Are you really serious?" Fei'er couldn't help asking. "We can't be so careless about state affairs."

If this was Beatrice's normal marking speed, Fei'er found it hard to believe.

Beatrice did not refute Fei'er's question, but grinned. "Why, do you want me to take these official duties more seriously?"

"As a monarch, isn't this your duty?"

"But is this the speed at which I normally review documents? I can guarantee that I reviewed these documents with my usual level of diligence."

"How serious are you usually?" Beatrice seemed to be deliberately making it difficult for her to understand what she said, and Fei'er frowned slightly.

"Is this how serious you are usually?" Beatrice came over, picked up a strand of the girl's hair, and started playing with it like a little girl.

".....I still hope you can pay more attention to these things."

"Want me to pay more attention to you? It's not impossible." Beatrice let down Fei'er's hair, put her hands behind her back, and looked at Fei'er with a smile.

"As long as you are obedient like this every day, I promise to devote myself to handling state affairs at full capacity every day."

"How~?"

"............You are not dealing with these things for me, nor for any particular person."

"In that case, I'll just follow my usual efficiency." Beatrice pouted. "But it probably won't be much different, right?"

"You can't just work hard if I'm by your side, right?"

"If you want to understand it that way, you can understand it that way." Beatrice began to touch Fei'er again. She raised her eyes and pinched Fei'er's jaw. "Think about it from another angle. If I was always within your sight, wouldn't I be a tyrant?"

"With you watching, if I want to do something bad or abuse my power for personal gain, won't you be able to find out immediately?"

"With you by the emperor's side supervising, aren't the citizens of this country safer? And you'll feel more at ease, too, right?"

".......I can't always be by your side." Fei'er looked away slightly.

"What did you say?" Beatrice's voice suddenly turned cold.

"You're grown up now, can't you let me accompany you?"

"Accompany? You don't seem to understand the situation yet, Miss Fei'er." Beatrice pushed Fei'er against the wall of the office. Although Beatrice was shorter than Fei'er, her aura was much stronger than Fei'er, as if she was the one looking down on her.

"You owe me all this. It's only natural for me to take back what belongs to me from you. Do you understand?"

"Until you pay off the debt, don't even think about leaving this palace, let alone leaving my sight."

"........."

After the work was over, Fei'er followed Beatrice out of the Cailiu Palace. Beatrice seemed to be angry about her previous remarks, and she didn't speak to her along the way.

After dinner, it was time to take a bath.

The palace is very large and has all the necessary facilities, including an entertainment room, a dining room, a study, a storage room, a data room, and several other rooms. The first basement floor is the queen's exclusive large bath.

As Beatrice's personal maid, Fei'er naturally had to take a bath in the bedroom, but here she would inevitably run into Beatrice.

"What are you doing standing there like an idiot?" Beatrice, who was sitting on the stone lion of the bathroom fountain, had tied her long black hair into a bun.

"Rub my back."

".........I?"

"What else?" Beatrice said unhappily. "As a personal maid, you don't think your duties are so easy, do you?"

"Besides dressing me and feeding me, you also have to help me take a bath."

"Can't we call another maid over?"

"Do I have a second personal maid?" Beatrice looked at Fei'er with amusement.

"Also, I asked you to change your underwear, but you haven't done so yet. What are you trying to do? Are you disobeying my orders?"

Do you have to wear that kind of underwear yourself?

Fei'er was already very resistant to wearing women's underwear, and now Beatrice told Fei'er that she had to wear the most shameless one.

Even though Fei'er didn't know much about these things, she was more or less aware of shame. She just couldn't accept it. She would delay it for as long as she could and pretend to be deaf and dumb for as long as she could.

Beatrice urged her again and again, so Fei'er had no choice but to go behind Beatrice.

Fortunately, there was a lot of fog in the bathroom, and Beatrice's half body was soaked in the water, so Fei'er could hardly see anything.

This is the best way. After all, Beatrice is grown up now and should understand that there are differences between the two sexes.

I don't know how I finished taking a bath. Although I didn't do anything today, Fei'er felt extremely tired. Perhaps it was because she was sealed by Beatrice's [God's Oath], which caused her physical condition to decline a lot, so she felt extremely tired.

Can she go back to her room and sleep tonight?

Even though she didn't know which room hers was, there were so many rooms on the third floor, so she could just pick any one, right?

"where are you going?"

Fei'er had just put on a bath towel and was heading for a room on the third floor when she heard Beatrice's voice behind her.

Her wet black hair was scattered behind her. Beatrice, who was wearing a bathrobe, half exposed her shoulders and glanced at Fei'er with her beautiful eyes.

".......It's getting late, it's better to go to bed early."

"It's time to rest, so what are you doing in the other room?"

"We have to sleep separately tonight, right?" Fei'er looked away.

As soon as she finished speaking, I don't know which word touched Beatrice's minefield, and the latter's eyes instantly turned cold.

Fei'er shrank her head. She felt that Beatrice seemed to be more moody than before.

"Come here." Beatrice walked up to Fei'er without saying anything, grabbed Fei'er's wrist, and walked towards her room.

"Come on, come into the house with me."

"........"

"There is no room for you here, you can only sleep with me, do you understand?" Beatrice looked back and said coldly.

"But......."

"What? Do you want to disobey the master's order?" Beatrice suddenly stopped, turned around abruptly, and grabbed Fei'er's neck with her bare hands, using just enough force to make the other person feel uncomfortable.

"I was wondering if I was too gentle and easy to talk to today, giving you the illusion that you still have room for bargaining with me." The gorgeous jewel-purple eyes were filled with a domineering oath.

Fei'er swallowed her saliva. She had never seen Beatrice in this posture before, and for a moment she felt an indescribable sense of strangeness.

"Just this afternoon, you were still thinking about owing your debt and running away."

"I originally wanted to postpone it for a few days to let you get used to it, but with your performance, I can only move it forward..."

"Tonight, I will let you know what the consequences will be if you dare to disobey my orders~" Beatrice's head leaned over, and she pinched Fei'er's face with both hands, leaving her no room to dodge her. She pressed her forehead against Fei'er's forehead, staring into the blonde girl's pure blue eyes that were full of retreat, and spoke every word.

"........." Fei'er didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

"Be prepared, maid lady who has not yet understood her own identity~"

Chapter 114: Final Chapter ~ The Scarlet Peach Gauze Female Little Devil Queen (8200 words burst, I can’t write anymore)

Fei'er sat on the edge of the bed nervously, tightening the bath towel around her body. This thin bath towel could not bring her any sense of security.

After pulling her into the bedroom, Beatrice let her sit on the edge of the bed and went out, not knowing what she was doing.

When Beatrice came back, she sat down at the dressing table again.

Are you still putting on makeup when you are about to go to bed?

Fei'er didn't understand.

She now somewhat understood the feeling of being at the mercy of others. A weak woman without any power, facing the coercion of a person who is completely unable to resist, had no choice but to accept it.

After a while, when she stood up from the dressing table and walked over, Fei'er noticed that Beatrice didn't actually wear any particularly heavy makeup.

With Beatrice's image, she doesn't need to rely on makeup to enhance her looks. At most, she would put on some light makeup when attending aristocratic banquets. Excessive makeup would instead destroy her natural beauty.
