Lilia shrank into the corner, hugging her knees.
On the bed was that white dress.
A heart-shaped cutout at the chest, only a few straps left on both sides of the waist.
The skirt was so short it barely covered her hips.
There was even a special hole in the back for her tail.
Could this thing even be called clothing?
“Miss, please cooperate with my work.”
Lilith stood by the bed.
“I’m not the one making things difficult for you! Meow!”
Lilia hugged her knees tighter, her neck stiff.
“It’s that perverted Demon King making things difficult for me! Meow!”
“Is this the kind of thing a human would wear?! Meow!”
“This was personally designed for you by Your Majesty.”
A scene suddenly popped into Lilia’s mind.
Lucia sat on the throne, holding a charcoal pencil and sketching on a design diagram:
“Make the bow here a bit bigger… Move the cutout position down three centimeters…”
She shivered and hurriedly shook the image out of her head.
“I don’t care who designed it! Anyway, I’m not wearing it! Meow!”
She buried her head in her knees, motionless, making it clear she wouldn’t cooperate.
The room was silent for a few seconds.
“Miss.”
Lilith lowered her voice.
“Yesterday, you said you wanted to know how to deal with Your Majesty.”
Lilia lifted her head from her knees and stared at her.
“What? Meow?”
“I can teach you.”
Lilith walked up to her and crouched down.
“But first, you have to learn one thing.”
“What is it? Meow?”
“Disappoint Your Majesty.”
Lilia was stunned.
“Her Majesty wants to see you break down because of this dress.”
“She wants to see you overwhelmed with shame, wants to see you beg her not to make you wear it.”
“If you really do that, she wins.”
Lilia bit her lip.
She remembered what Lilith had said last night.
The more you resist, the more excited she gets.
“Then what should I do? Meow?”
“It’s simple.”
Lilith straightened up and unwrapped the black silk bundle on the bed.
“Act like you really like this dress.”
“Like?!”
Lilia’s voice cracked.
“How could I possibly like something this perverted! Meow!”
“It’s not real—just act.”
Lilith picked up the white dress and turned around.
“Your Majesty thinks this is punishment for you.”
“Then you have to let her think it’s a reward.”
“Her Majesty wants to see you embarrassed. If you act like you love it instead, her goal is ruined.”
Lilia opened her mouth.
She started to understand.
Lucia wanted to see her humiliated, wanted to see her explode with shame.
But if she acted especially happy…
Wouldn’t Lucia’s twisted fun be spoiled?
But—
“I can’t do it, meow…”
She stared at the dress, her voice trembling.
“This outfit is just too…too…”
“Miss.”
Lilith cut her off.
“There are fifteen minutes left until Her Majesty’s scheduled walk.”
“If you haven’t changed clothes by then—”
She paused.
“Her Majesty will come help you in person.”
Lilia jolted.
Let Lucia come in person?
That would definitely be more than just changing clothes!
That pervert would definitely take the chance to do all sorts of indecent things!
“I’ll wear it! Isn’t it fine if I wear it?! Meow!”
She jumped up from the floor and snatched the dress from Lilith’s hand.
It’s just acting!
She’s a Hero who plans to overthrow the Demon King!
If she can’t even handle this little scene, how could she talk about revenge?
The feel of the dress was soft and smooth, with a magical wave in the fabric.
This thing… was actually Magic Equipment?
“Please take off your current clothing.”
Lilith’s voice returned to its businesslike tone.
Lilia gritted her teeth and started unfastening her Gothic Dress.
One by one, the bows came undone and the skirt slid to the floor.
She stood naked in front of Lilith, her cheeks burning.
“Put this on first.”
Lilith handed over a set of white underwear.
The fabric was so thin it was nearly transparent, the edges trimmed with lace.
Lilia took it with trembling fingers.
She put on the underwear, the soft flesh on her chest pushed up high.
Then the panties, the fabric barely covering the key parts, the side straps so thin they were terrifying.
“Next is the dress.”
Lilith picked up the white dress and walked behind her.
“Please raise your arms.”
Lilia closed her eyes and obeyed.
The dress slid down over her head.
Cool fabric pressed against her skin.
The heart-shaped cutout at the chest left a large patch of skin exposed to the air.
Only a few straps remained at her waist, the cold sensation spreading over her skin.
The worst part was behind—
That fluffy tail slipped through the special hole, swaying with her breathing.
“Finally, the socks.”
Lilith took out a pair of pure white thigh-highs.
The tops were decorated with lace and bows, reaching up to the base of the thighs.
Lilia sat on the edge of the bed and let Lilith help her put them on.
The soft material wrapped around her thighs, the top hugging tightly and the lace digging into her skin.
“Done.”
Lilith stepped back, surveying her “work.”
“Please look in the mirror. It’s Your Majesty’s order.”
Lilia froze on the bed.
She had to look in the mirror too?
What was this, public execution?
“Miss, time is short.”
She gritted her teeth and shuffled to the floor-length mirror.
The person in the mirror—
Lilia sucked in a sharp breath.
Silver hair, black cat ears, pure white dress, black collar.
Under the heart-shaped cutout at the chest, the white underwear was faintly visible.
Straps at the waist left fine red marks.
The skirt was so short you could see the tops of the thigh-highs.
Behind her, the black tail swayed uneasily.
“V-very pretty, meow…”
The words slipped out before she realized.
No!
This wasn’t in the script!
She was supposed to act like she “liked” it, not be “shy”!
“Miss, you look very satisfied.”
Lilith’s voice came from beside her.
Lilia snapped back to her senses.
That’s right!
Act!
She took a deep breath and turned to face Lilith.
She forced a big smile onto her face.
“Mm! Meow!”
She nodded hard, her tail swinging wildly.
“This dress is amazing! Meow! I love it so much! Meow!”
“Thank you, Master! And thank you, Sister Lilith! Meow!”
Lilia spun in place.
She tried her best to give the sweetest smile, but her facial muscles were stiff.
Too embarrassing!
The dress was ridiculously short.
Just moving a little made it feel so empty.
Now she finally understood.
Why did the dress feel so light in her hands?
There was barely any fabric!
“Miss, you look very happy.”
Lilith watched her.
“Of course, meow!”
Lilia kept up the act, running up to Lilith and grabbing her hand, tilting her small face up.
“This is a dress personally designed for me by Master, meow!”
“I love it so much, meow!”
“I’ve never worn such a beautiful dress before, meow!”
As she spoke, she blinked her heterochromatic eyes hard, trying her best to look cute.
The cat ears on her head even twitched in sync.
Her tail behind her wagged quickly as well.
Lilith looked at her.
The usually expressionless face twitched ever so slightly at the corner of her mouth.
She had worked for centuries and thought she’d seen it all.
But something like this—
A little one who would rather die than give in one moment, then the next put on shameful clothes and even “act spoiled” to her.
It was the first time she’d seen anything like it.
This acting… was so clumsy.
But clumsy in a way that was… interesting.
“As long as Miss is happy.”
Lilith withdrew her hand.
“It’s about time. Your Majesty should be waiting for you.”
