Endless Silver Machine

Because there had been light rain for a while in the evening, the courtyard seemed a bit stuffy.

Anjie paid attention to how long Zi Ming stayed in the hot and humid environment, and pushed her wheelchair back to the castle in time.

Before Zi Ming goes to bed, Anjie still has the task of helping her take a bath.

The bathhouse in the castle is decorated with gilt, tall stone pillars support the huge space, and is surrounded by indoor plants that exude fresh fragrance.

The bathtub, which occupies half of the bathroom, is surrounded by exquisite screens and floor-to-ceiling windows with curtains drawn.

The only user here was supposed to be Zi Ming, but An Jie was also "pulled" into the water by her.

When she served Zi Ming to bathe for the first time, An Jie, who was wrapped in a bath towel, always refused to bathe with Zi Ming because of her different status as a maid and a princess.

For this reason, Zi Ming was slightly dissatisfied. If she had used orders, Anjie would have had to accept her invitation, but that approach deviated from her original intention.

This problem troubled Zi Ming all night. When she was about to fall asleep, she thought of a way.

When taking a bath the next morning, Anjie helped Zi Ming sit down by the bathtub just like last night.

"Then, Anjie will be waiting behind the screen. If necessary..."

The moment An Jie let go, Zi Ming, who had been letting her control his body, suddenly grabbed her slender arm.

"your Highness?"

The tone that had been without any fluctuations finally had a feeling of confusion. Zi Ming didn't give her time to react and used all his strength to pull her into the bath.

Just like the literal meaning, Zi Ming "pulled" Anjie into the water.

There was a small splash of water in the bathtub. The water here is not deep, and after Zi Ming sat down, it could only spread to his chest.

Anjie was now only wrapped in a layer of bath towel, which was originally worn to prevent the maid uniform from getting wet. It would not hurt even if her whole body was soaked in water.

What she didn't understand was why Zi Ming did this.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Princess..."

The little girl who served the royal family for the first time didn't know if she had done something wrong.

She didn't complain at all about Zi Ming's slightly rough behavior, and she didn't even have any doubts.

An Jie, who was pulled into the bathtub, remained in a sitting position, waiting blankly for Zi Ming's announcement.

Zi Ming held the edge of the bathtub with his hands and soaked his body in the water.

"Isn't this water temperature very comfortable?"

To An Jie's surprise, Zi Ming did not reprimand herself, but instead showed her a gentle smile.

She was even more confused.

"Yes……"

"Anjie, I will give you a new task now."

"yes……"

"From now on, when I am taking a bath, you have to be by my side to help me measure the water temperature. This is my new task."

Zi Ming pointed slyly at the stunned Anjie and said the princess's order.

In the end, the clumsy Zi Ming could only think of a way to order, but he just added a reason that Anjie could accept.

She believed that the smart Anjie would understand her thoughts.

In fact, Anjie did understand Zi Ming's intention of doing this.

Since that time, Anjie followed Zi Ming's wish and became the second user of this large bath.

Today was the same as usual. Anjie helped Zi Ming sit by the bathtub after he was cleansed, and she soaked in the water first.

After Zi Ming sat down in the bath, the two of them became side by side.

The distance that initially made Anjie feel frightened now seems to have become an indispensable part of life.

In the warm water bath that induces sleep, Anjie's thoughts gradually drifted to the past that she would no longer recall.

…………

Anjie once worked as a maid in the mansion of a border noble with a low status. She was born in a rural area and was accidentally photographed by the noble who came to inspect.

Working in the nobleman's mansion can get a very high salary, which is a timely blessing for Anjie, who comes from a poor family and has several younger brothers and sisters to take care of.

She didn't know that the reason why she was photographed was because of her appearance. Naturally, the noble's improper private life would not be known to a country girl.

The work in the mansion is not very hard. There are also several girls here who have similar backgrounds to themselves, and they naturally become friends.

This friendship was so brief that it was unbelievable that it ended when Anjie was taken into the noble's room by the girls.

The former "friends" took off their somewhat revealing maid uniforms in front of the nobles. They pushed Anjie, who didn't understand what was happening, onto the bed and tried to take off her clothes.

Anjie, who fell into panic, lost the ability to think. She couldn't accept the money she earned from selling her body at a low price, so she resisted.

During the fierce struggle, Anjie knocked over the priceless vase, and the flying fragments scratched the noble's hand.

The furious noble imprisoned her in a dank dungeon hidden under the mansion, and the obedient girls personally locked her hands and feet with iron cuffs in a cell where sunlight could not penetrate.

There is no one else here except Anjie. It seems that the only one who resists the nobles is himself.

There was no anger in Anjie's heart, only endless sadness.

The nobles would come to the dungeon from time to time, symbolically teasing Anjie's body that was unable to resist, and then leave calmly after finding that Anjie's heart still refused to give in.

What he wants is the conquest from body to soul, but Anjie has not yet reached his request, so he wants Anjie to give up her self-esteem in pain.

Only the feeling of conquest over a young girl can satisfy this man whose career is sluggish.

This kind of imprisonment lasted for half a month.

What brought light to Anjie was not the position gained by giving up a woman's self-esteem, but a royal family member who came to suppress the border noble.

The fact that the noble was involved in corruption and bribery was discovered by the Imperial Intelligence Agency, and he was also found to have interfered in the development of surrounding small cities. The evidence was conclusive.

After learning that the crime was exposed, the nobles threatened the lives of the people in their territories and asked their soldiers to resist.

In order to prevent further casualties caused by the atrocities of the nobles, the fourth princess of the Bis Empire, Zi Ming Yiela, came to the scene in person and used the magic costume of the "Iela" family to suppress the incident that occurred on the border of the empire. Little war.

When the imperial army broke through the mansion, the corpses of servants could be seen everywhere, and the seriously injured nobleman himself disappeared without a trace in the mansion.

With such an obvious murder and silence, Zi Ming realized that there must be a secret passage in the mansion that could allow the nobles to escape.

Under the kind advice of his subordinates, Zi Ming did not enter the mansion that was filled with the smell of blood. Due to her limited mobility, she could not directly participate in the search, but in front of the magic costume of the "Iela" family, no matter how small the fluctuation of magic power was, there was no way to hide it.

The injured nobleman obviously lost his usual scheming, and was even reluctant to throw away the magic equipment for self-defense, thus exposing his escape route.

While chasing the fleeing nobles in the secret passage, the dungeon where Anjie was imprisoned was also revealed.

She was the only one who survived in this mansion, and the imperial soldiers carried her to Zi Ming, who was so weak that she could only lie on the ground.

"What are you doing! The first thing you should do is not to interrogate, but to ensure her life safety!"

Anjie, who was unconscious, only heard this sentence.

…………

"Anjie, are you tired?"

Zi Ming's voice brought An Jie back to reality. Only then did she realize that she had dozed off next to Zi Ming. She quickly apologized to Zi Ming who cared about her.

Anjie has never made such a mistake, so Zi Ming is a little worried whether she has been given too much work recently.

Zi Ming did not reveal his worries until he returned to his dormitory and prepared to go to bed.

Even if you say it, it won't help. Zi Ming had no choice to give up.

As long as Zi Ming does not give up resistance, she must replace her limbs, ears and eyes with An Jie.

There was silence in the bedroom with the chandelier turned off. Although the floor-to-ceiling curtains were opened, there was no bright moonlight tonight.

Zi Ming did not think wildly in the dead of night. Her determination had been made long ago.

She is just a vase princess with the title of "royal family". In this case, you should play this role well.

The light will not go out. Even if it cannot be seen temporarily, it still shines in places that are out of reach.

So, as long as you work hard to reach out, there will always be a day when you can touch...
