Chapter 58: How Could You Undress Anywhere? (10/12)

Ten minutes ago.

“Take~ your clothes~ off!”

In the wild outskirts, this was the flat area right at the entrance of Yufeng Valley.

Passing through here at sunset, Willis remembered it clearly.

Before her, under the moonlight, the blonde girl nearly jumped up in anger, almost slapping her.

“W-what!?”

Ofilia couldn’t believe her ears for a moment.

“If you want to check in your head whether you heard wrong, this princess will graciously repeat it—take~ your clothes~ off.”

Willis approached Ofilia, speaking calmly yet saying something outrageous.

At that instant, the overwhelming humiliation was stronger than ever before.

Ofilia grit her teeth and asked, “On what grounds!?”

“You seem to really like saying those three words,” Willis coldly stared at her. “Because I am your master now, is that enough?”

“Impossible!”

Ofilia shouted loudly.

“Even if my family sold me off, I have not completely sold my dignity! Willis! Don’t push me too far!”

Possessing her—she endured it!

Trading her—fine!

Making her a maid—okay!

But now, Willis simply didn’t regard her as a human being. This was utterly intolerable!

She was human, with dignity!

Not an animal to urinate or defecate anywhere at will!

At that moment, Ofilia’s gaze began to change.

She had thought that no matter how cruel Willis was, how much she bullied her, there were still boundaries.

Now it seemed she was mistaken!

This woman was a demon, a thorough demon!

And to this notoriously infamous princess, she was already bored, even allowed to be insulted at will!

Pushed beyond her limits!

Not treated like a person!

Before Ofilia could explode, before she could shout, “Return me if you want, but I’ll die before staying here any longer”…

Willis tossed her a set of gorgeous clothes.

“Take~ off your clothes, then put these on. There’s a small pit over there; I checked it during the day. Moonlight doesn’t reach it, and there’s no one else around. Go change there.”

An almost non-negotiable command, the madness barely bursting from Willis’s throat was suppressed.

“Uh… uh…??”

Her mind scrambled to process it. Ofilia hugged the pile of clothes, unsure what to do.

“Is changing clothes really this hard? Or do you want me to help you?”

Under the night, Willis’s ruby-like eyes shone with a strange gleam, nearly drawing Ofilia in.

She hastily suppressed the ripples in her heart and followed the direction Willis pointed to the small pit.

After several checks to the left and right to ensure no one was around,

Moonlight didn’t reach the spot, and Willis nearby showed no intention of peeking.

Sighing in relief, Ofilia clumsily began changing.

But without light, she had to keep moving into the moonlight from time to time to inspect the clothes’ structure.

After a long while, she finally finished changing.

Stepping out, she realized the clothes were Willis’s!

The princess’s garments were soft and smooth against the skin, and on her body, Willis’s scent wafted gently.

Under the moonlight, the soldiers Willis had taken from Yufeng Valley stood in the distance.

Figures clustered together, indistinct; only vague outlines could be seen, standing like wooden statues.

Nearby, as Ofilia stepped out, Willis’s eyes lit up.

“Hm, it really is true that clothes make the man,” Willis praised.

Ofilia snorted faintly, barely noticeable, but her eyes no longer held the previous sorrow and hatred.

“What’s that? Praise?”

“Let’s say so. This dress actually suits you quite well,” Willis nodded.

But then her tone shifted.

“But this chest part… hmm, just as I expected, it’s a bit too small.”

Ofilia instinctively lowered her head.

The bra was clearly two sizes too large, making the garment look hollow when worn.

A light touch caused it to cave inward.

At that moment, a greater sense of humiliation arose, but not directed at Willis.

“What… what exactly do you want to do?”

Ofilia grit her teeth and asked.

“That’s a good question… From now on, you are me.”

As she spoke, Willis took off her headpiece and the colorful ribbons from her hands, placing them on Ofilia in the moonlight.

Like a wooden puppet, Ofilia allowed Willis to do so. When Willis then took out a light veil to cover her face, her confusion peaked.

“Hah!? You… what do you mean, master?”

“Literally what I said.” Willis smiled.

“From now on, you are Willis Egbert. So, every move you make must try to imitate mine.”

Upon hearing this, Ofilia couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Imitate you?

Even if it meant imitating a pig’s grunt or a cat’s meow, I’d never imitate you!

But what she thought remained unspoken. Her confusion deepened, and warily she asked, “Why?”

“There’s no need for so many whys,” Willis patted her shoulder. “You’re a maid. Just do as your master says.”

“And you?”

Ofilia asked again.

“You seem to have a lot of questions…” Willis showed no desire to answer.

“Now, you should go back. I’ll have some soldiers escort you… Remember, once you’re back, stay inside the grand tent. Don’t come out and get recognized.”

Willis turned as if recalling something, adding,

“Uh, relieving yourself anywhere is an exception. People have urgent needs. But don’t let anyone see—it damages my dignity.”

At that moment, Ofilia’s heart, which had just calmed, churned again.

Her furious eyes frantically searched the ground, wishing for a rock.

I’ll smash that hateful woman’s head with a rock!

Hmm?

No, I know magic, right?

Perhaps flustered by anger, Ofilia suddenly remembered her weapon.

But the magic she had learned was mostly for show and passing tests, not a lethal weapon.

Before her mind could turn over the idea, Willis had already grabbed her and started walking away.

“You all, escort her back. Remember, treat her with the titles and etiquette due an Imperial Princess!”

Willis stood before the soldiers who had lingered here, then pointed to several among them, giving orders.

“Yes! Following Your Highness’s command!”

Those soldiers took their orders and led Ofilia onto the princess carriage.

Ofilia snapped awake, turning around in surprise, “If you wanted me to change clothes, why not let me do it inside the carriage?”

“Because it’s more interesting outside,” Willis smirked mischievously.

At that moment, Ofilia almost jumped down to kick this hateful princess.

Not long after, the carriage slowly disappeared into the night…

Willis’s gaze followed the carriage’s silhouette when suddenly, a figure emerged from the darkness.

The soldiers immediately gripped their blades, watching the newcomer cautiously.

When the silver light shimmered under the moon, everyone relaxed slightly.

“Victoria, I’ve been waiting for you a long time,” Willis smiled. “So, how’s the setup?”

Victoria appeared from the shadows like a goddess stepping on moonlight.

She approached Willis and gave the Knight’s Salute, nodding, “Everything is ready, Your Highness.”

“In that case, let’s go.”

Willis swung herself onto her horse, but Victoria hesitated.

“Your Highness, let me go instead. This journey might be dangerous.”

“Is there no danger staying here?”

Willis smiled. “Let’s go, ride!”

With her legs pressing against the horse’s sides and a sharp cry, the entire five hundred soldiers began to move.

Victoria sighed, took the reins handed by a soldier, and rode after them.

“No fires, no noise, no speed. Slow down your horses, move quietly!”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

Under the night, the army moved like phantoms across the land, vanishing into the vast darkness.
