Chapter 7: The young lady punished by her maid

Why did things turn out like this?

Su Mengdie didn’t know.

She only knew that the Young Lady seemed to have taken what she’d just said to the Head Maid seriously.

“Young Lady! Please don’t take your clothes off yet… I wasn’t planning on punishing you, really!”

Watching as Penelope began to untie the white ribbon with an expressionless face, her Maid Uniform hanging loosely from her pale arms—

Su Mengdie realized she’d probably made a huge mistake…

But honestly, she hadn’t had any better ideas at the time!

The Head Maid was stubbornly convinced that she wanted to punish the Young Lady.

If she hadn’t gone along with it—

Then her body would’ve ended up getting beaten up badly…

No, what she was worried about was that the Young Lady in that body might be traumatized!

“Didn’t you say you were going to punish me instead of the Head Maid? And you even promised her that, once it was over, you’d show her proof to put her mind at ease?”

Hearing Su Mengdie change her tune, those small hands—grasping the white lace, sliding slowly down slender calves—paused for a moment.

Yes, she had said those things.

But that was only to deal with the Head Maid!

“That was just a joke. Anyway, Young Lady, put your clothes back on. I have no interest in seeing my own body.”

With that, Su Mengdie turned her head away, her cheeks turning slightly red from embarrassment.

Even though she saw the Young Lady naked every day, seeing her own body undressing in front of her felt indescribably strange.

“Then how does Su Mengdie plan to explain things to the Head Maid?”

Penelope tilted her head.

“That’s my business.”

She was the Young Lady now!

Deciding whether or not to show the Head Maid was just a matter of one word, wasn’t it?

Would that utterly loyal Head Maid dare defy her and forcibly lift Penelope’s skirt?

But still…

What kind of punishment involved taking off all her clothes?!

Since she’d gone along with the Head Maid, Su Mengdie figured she ought to know what kind of punishment it was.

“Young Lady, what exactly is the punishment you two were talking about? Could you tell me?”

“Su Mengdie is curious?”

A trace of slyness flashed through Penelope’s brown eyes.

“Mhm! Don’t worry, Young Lady, I’ll keep it a secret.”

“That’s good. But rather than explaining, I think it’s more direct to experience it for yourself.”

Penelope turned to the side and patted the soft Velvet bed.

“Eh~?!”

Experience the punishment?

That sounded strange… and she didn’t have any unusual preferences like that!

“Young Lady, could you just say it directly instead?”

After hesitating a moment, Su Mengdie still refused the suggestion.

She had a premonition that if she actually experienced it, she’d definitely lose something very important.

But as soon as Penelope heard her refusal, her expression turned fierce, and she commanded in a tone that brooked no argument,

“Su Mengdie, come here!”

Almost reflexively, Su Mengdie shakily sat down beside the Young Lady.

Even though she was facing her own body, the habits of a maid meant she instinctively obeyed the Young Lady’s orders without question.

Seeing how obedient Su Mengdie was, Penelope’s lips curved up ever so slightly.

“Don’t worry, I won’t be too strict with you right off the bat! Good girl~, now lie across my lap. Make sure your tummy’s against my thigh.”

Su Mengdie nodded and did as she was told.

But this posture… was so embarrassing!

The height difference made her look just like a naughty girl about to get spanked by her mother.

And what Penelope did next was exactly what she expected—

The black Gothic Dress was lifted from behind, and then that familiar hand, through thin undergarments, gently rested on her slightly raised bottom.

The warm palm soothed her softly, but Su Mengdie’s body still trembled uncontrollably.

“Young Lady, this… this is your body. Please go easy on me~!”

“Oh? Little Die, I haven’t even started, and you’re already begging for mercy? That’s no fun~,” Penelope said with a laugh in her voice.

Smack~

The hand suddenly lifted, then came down with just the right amount of force.

“Mew~!”

“Hm~? I think I just heard a really cute sound?”

“N-no, you didn’t!”

Su Mengdie hastily covered her mouth, the blush on her face spreading all the way to her ears.

It didn’t hurt just now, but it was so embarrassing…

“No? Little Die, a maid who lies to her master deserves punishment!”

“But, I really didn’t…!”

Wait a second, isn’t she supposed to be the master now?

Why was she being spanked by her own maid while in her master’s body???

Smack~

Smack, smack~

Crisp sounds echoed rhythmically through the room, only fading once Penelope’s hand grew tired.

“Su Mengdie, are you alright?”

Penelope wiped the moisture from her hand, looking with satisfaction at Su Mengdie sprawled across her lap.

Not alright.

Not in the slightest!

Getting her bottom smacked for ten minutes straight—who could be alright after that?!

Right now, she just felt her butt burning, and even turning over to sit was difficult.

“Young Lady! You went too far… That wasn’t punishment at the end, you were just having fun, weren’t you!”

So much for “not being too strict”—that was a lie!

She’d never trust that again.

“Ehehe~ sorry, sorry, but Su Mengdie, your butt is just so bouncy, I couldn’t help myself…”

Penelope looked like she wasn’t done, squeezing the air a few times, scaring Su Mengdie into hurriedly covering her bottom.

You pervert~!

“But this is your body, Young Lady! Aren’t you worried you’ll hurt yourself?”

“What’s there to worry about? I don’t mind at all, so you shouldn’t fuss either~. I know my own body best! Anyway, now you can explain things to the Head Maid. I’m sure she heard the spanking.”

Eh?

What does that mean?!

What do you mean she heard the spanking…

Seeing Su Mengdie’s confusion, Penelope scooted closer, leaned over, and whispered in her ear, nearly startling her again.

“She’s actually been listening outside this whole time.”

“No way! Did she hear everything we said, then?”

“Nope, this room is well soundproofed. Even if she pressed her ear to the door, all she’d hear would be muffled voices and those clear smacking sounds… Hahaha~!”

Thinking of Su Mengdie just now, Penelope couldn’t help but laugh again.

“Hmph~, Young Lady, you can laugh! Just don’t slip up later!”

Seeing the Young Lady so happy, Su Mengdie was fuming, but there was nothing she could do about it.

She couldn’t just spank her back, could she!

Given their current strengths, even if she tried, she wouldn’t be a match for her own body.

She’d probably get caught and spanked again by the Young Lady.

“Alright, alright, I won’t laugh anymore… Anyway, Little Die, go freshen up. The Bathroom is right next door, and there’s fresh underwear in the Wardrobe.”

So thoughtful?

For now, Su Mengdie couldn’t worry about anything else.

She turned and went into the Bathroom.

But just as she left, Penelope’s expression suddenly changed.

“Su Mengdie~, it looks like I wasn’t wrong to punish you. You really are hiding something from me…”

After patting her pocket, a White Platinum Butterfly Necklace dangled and swayed before her eyes…
