The wish I gave seemed to have come true.

Princess Anastasia now seemed to be thinking about something else about my past behavior that seemed like a little girl who would make enemies anywhere.

Although it was an incident in the past with me being unable to hold back a feeling of irritation after being belittled just because of my light brown skin color, now I could give a reply to the insult calmly and full of threats.

With the incident in the past where there was an attack from a slime that had become a Sin-Eating Slime and the curse spread by Zoe that marked several noble families. I seemed to have become a walking disaster that could bring disaster if someone challenged it.

The attack by the Sin-Eating Slime and Hana who became a Saintess of the Goddess Aurora, were two major historical events that would probably be recorded in the history of the Aurora Kingdom and studied by people in the future.

The most important of all was the incident where my name would be recorded as a troublemaker or spreader of the curse that caused the collapse of several great noble families’ glory.

I didn’t feel guilty about this.

Their descendants’ mistakes have become the source of the disaster of Zoe’s curse that has been planted for the entire family’s descendants as well.

It could be said that they deserved the curse from Zoe after they had so arbitrarily insulted and belittled others when they were at the peak of their glory.

With that incident, at least I have made some historical events that make my name remembered until the future for the decisions and consequences of arbitrary actions taken by nobles with other nobles.

It also made me wonder whether the feud between the factions that support the noble family and the factions that oppose the royal family will continue to insist on carrying out behind-the-scenes actions such as trying to acquire the Aurora Goddess Temple.

"Uuh, this will make me look like a villain in the future," I muttered a little while taking a cup of tea and drinking it.

In this small tea party, I seemed to be completely exhausted by the questions and suspicions given by Princess Anastasia.

I occasionally glanced at Princess Anastasia who was working hard to understand my previous words. The day the Royal Palace was attacked by a party held on her special day and the birth of a Saintess that coincided with her special day.

Indirectly, it made Princess Anastasia and Hana complement each other. An incident that made me sad but was overwritten by an incident that made me happy. Like water mixed with oil but suddenly produced a new liquid that tasted good as the main seasoning for a dish that had fatty meat as the raw material.

Just thinking about it, my body started to get goosebumps if all those incidents were caused by me who thought too short-sightedly in making decisions.

"Lily, I want to ask about this. Has the Goddess Aurora ever said anything about me?" asked Hana who suddenly appeared behind my body with a wide smile on her face.

I, who was thinking about something before, was surprised after Hana suddenly appeared beside me.

A heavy question that was the same as Princess Anastasia’s question.

I slowly put down my cup of tea and tried my best not to choke after getting a question like that.

Taaakkk...

After carefully putting down my cup of tea, I tried to answer Hana’s question with a calm facial expression.

"The Goddess Aurora?" I replied to buy time which made me think about the appropriate answer to give to Hana.

"Yes, I feel that the Goddess who is dejected... Uhh... I mean the Goddess who has abandoned humanity has a hidden plan after making me her holy Saintess," Hana said with a sweet smile on her face.

It seems like I heard Hana’s words that slightly insulted the Goddess Aurora, but I will pretend not to hear it.

"There is no special message given by the Goddess Aurora to me. She only told me to maintain a good relationship with you," I replied while hiding all the bad behavior of Hana and the Goddess Aurora who did not get along with each other.

Even maintaining my calm attitude has made me exhausted with Hana’s one question.

"A good relationship with me? What is that like?" Hana asked further while getting closer to me.

It seemed like Hana did this on purpose after Princess Anastasia got close to me. With the two girls pressing their bodies closer to me, it felt like I had just teased two girls at the same time.

If anyone else saw this, how could I deny it?

Hana brought her body closer until it was like she was hugging me tightly.

The small chair I was sitting on felt like it was holding the weight of three human bodies which started to make it creak and scream as if it wanted to break.

With a calm and gentle attitude, I immediately stood up and pulled the two girls’ bodies that were supporting their bodies on mine.

"I’m going to go take care of some things," I said to escape from Hana and Princess Anastasia’s questions who were now pressing their bodies against mine.

"It seems like I’m going to be busy," I said further while releasing their bodies that were tightly attached to mine.

"Ehh? Even though our tea party isn’t over yet?" said Princess Anastasia who looked disappointed after I wanted to leave to take care of some things.

"Haahh... you’ve been working hard lately, Lily," said Hana who looked sad when she saw me who was going back to work taking care of something.

When I was about to leave them who still wanted to have a small tea party, I suddenly got a feeling of pulling a heavy weight on my right arm and left arm.

"Hmmm..." with my feelings starting to get worse, I glanced beside me and saw these two girls seemed to be locking the movement of my arms so that I wouldn’t leave this small tea party.

"Lily, don’t you want to take one more sip?" said Princess Anastasia as if she wanted to give me an incitement to make me stay longer to attend this tea party.

"Lily, can I help you work?" Compared to Princess Anastasia who seemed to want to force me with incitement and seduction, Hana seemed like she wanted to join me who was going to work inspection the Marquess Rommel Main Mansion for the renovation and cleaning that had been done previously.

These two women seemed like they wanted to follow me whenever they had nothing to do.

I took a deep breath and started to move away from them, "I’m really busy today you know..."

As I moved away from them, I suddenly heard them move quickly to sit down and finish a cup of tea before going after my footsteps who wanted to do a special inspection of Marquess Rommel’s residence after the family vacation.

During the busy activities of the Maid on duty, I was accompanied by Hana and Princess Anastasia walking through the hallways that were still part of the hallway of my private bedroom. This long hallway had been completely cleaned by Aiko without leaving any traces of dust and dirt stains that could be seen by the naked eye.

"Hmm..." with my small mumble, while paying attention to every gap in the walls of the hallway, I tried to find small mistakes left by Aiko but no dirt was missed by Aiko.

"I’m impressed with Aiko’s hard work who can clean these hallways without leaving a single trace of dirt. If all slimes could be tamed and think like Aiko, maybe a house cleaning service with a herd of slimes could be a brilliant business idea," I said in a small tone praising the hard work done by Aiko along with the other stealth slime herd.

"Yes, this is the result of maximum hard work for an evolved monster," following my work which was inspecting a total cleaning of the Marquess Rommel Mansion, Princess Anastasia looked like she was rubbing her index finger to check the dust left behind.

When her index finger touched one of the hallway walls, there were only traces of her fingerprints left on the wall without any dust stains.

"So clean, I also want to experience a place to live as clean as this," grumbled Princess Anastasia who was now starting to pay close attention to the hallway walls.

"With cleanliness like this, wouldn’t it be a waste to do inspections every day, Lily?" asked Princess Anastasia as she stepped closer to me.

"I have to do this because this Mansion has been abandoned for a long time since our family vacation. Some wild plants such as mushrooms and moss which are natural pests to decompose an object in the forest have grown abundantly until it makes us have trouble to clean them. I’m worried if they will grow back if not detected by my inspection," I replied with an answer that made Princess Anastasia nod.

"I understand the main point of this inspection. But mold and mildew take a long time to grow, right?" Princess Anastasia asked as she looked around.

"Oh, Your Highness. Mold and mildew are things that can easily grow like other plant pests. Their unexpected appearance is an indication of humidity that can damage a building. As a Saintess who once worked at the Aurora Shrine near a water source, I can feel how troublesome this kind of inspection work is to prevent further damage to the Aurora Shrine building," Hana now chimed in about this troublesome work with her life experience of having worked at one of the Aurora Shrines with high humidity levels.

"I don’t have such a tough life experience. Thank you for sharing that experience and information about useful knowledge," Princess Anastasia smiled as if she had gained new information about forest pests that could damage buildings after being allowed to grow for so long.

"You’re welcome, Princess Anastasia. Now let’s help Lily inspect the entire Marquess Rommel Mansion!" Hana exclaimed in an excited tone with her fists raised.

Seeing these two women who could disagree and be good friends made me confused in dealing with them.

"Am I being too excessive when thinking about them who often disagree and are good friends like this?" I muttered a little, starting to question their relationship.

I immediately ignored my bad thoughts about their relationship it seemed like they were pretending to be friends in front of me by continuing my important work to do an important inspection of the Mansion that was restored to be my residence.

Along with the sound of our footsteps walking down the hallway and paying close attention to every corner, I heard the sound of small footsteps from Sebastian who seemed to be looking for me.

From a distance, our gazes met and we exchanged greetings with our nod.

Sebastian began to approach me who was with Princess Anastasia and Hana.

With a letter in his hand, I could feel that there was a new problem.
