Make a decision.

The princess looked down at the snivelling girl, at her feet, and pondered what to do. ‘How stupid does she think I am? However isn’t this a golden opportunity?’

Their train of thought was cut short by the sharp voice of the main heroine. “I never wanted to leave in the first place! But this, this person **** me to...”

“Stop right there.” She was tired of where the girl’s line of conversion was going and commanded them to stop, Doing so made everyone focus on her. Specifically, on what she’d say next.

“You want to live, you want to stay, you even want to serve me... You want so many things and you’re picky too, aren’t you Mina.”

“Your highness…” Mina had her reply and a tone to match but even she could see that she’d only be able to play the victim for so long until the princess would grow agitated. Alexandra was very possessive of her playthings and Mina was playing a very dangerous game.

‘There was no point in banishing her. This woman wasn’t going to give up. She was basically telling me to my face that she wasn’t going to give up.’ Still watching the girl below her she saw the opportunity to leave no regrets. She already had plenty of justification.

Her thoughts went dark. ‘Let’s kill her.’

‘I have to kill her.’ Just as she had made up her mind. The woman pretending to be the princess caught the reflection of Alexandra in Mina’s eyes. She saw how addicting the power Alexandra’s body had given her. It would have been so easy to give a single order and have this inconvenience seen to. It frightened her if someone as strong as Alexandra wasn’t able to resist the allure of power how the hell was she supposed to.

The woman out of sheer hopelessness said the only thing to get herself out of the situation, without blood on her hands. “…….Do whatever you want. But you can’t be my maid.”

She looked at Mina’s reaction and saw the girl’s worried expression change to a smile. ‘Shit!’

“Thank you!”

She turned around to look at Dimitri.

“And you?”

“I will remain here as well.” The former prince answered without a single breath.

In the end, the whole situation ended with everyone staying and no change whatsoever. ‘What a waste of my time. If this was what you had to deal with Alexandra. I don’t blame why you went crazy.’

She sighed and ordered everyone to leave.

“Why did you not ask me anything?” Vizima was the last one left.

“What do I have to be curious about?”

“Will you really dismiss me like this?”

“That’s right.”

“Even if I don’t want it?”

“Yes.”

“That… that isn’t fair.”

“Then what would you like me to do? You betrayed me. I won’t make you take responsibility for that. But there’s no real reason to keep you by my side now, either.”

“………”

“Once you’ve sorted out your feelings, come find me. I’ll finally set you free from your suffering.”

“Free…”

A moment later, she was the only one left in the spacious room and looked to the bed, which was drawing her in.

That was when she heard the sound of the door opening gingerly.

“I thought I said for everyone to leave!”

She shouted in frustration but stopped in her tracks when she saw white gold hair through the crack in the door.

“Jorg?”

The door opened a little wider and revealed Jorg kneeling in the doorway with an anxious look upon his face. “I’m sorry… I couldn’t find anything about the task you had given me... it seems all the palace staff didn’t want to chance to upset the princess for talking to her ****… It’s my fault. ”

“It’s fine.” She sighed and dropped herself onto the bed. “Come here.”

He stood up wordlessly and approached her. He sat down next to her and cautiously leaned into her embrace.

She laid her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. In the darkness, she could feel him gently patting her back.

She was glad when he didn’t say anything.
