Just by stepping outside, she brought back a filthy girl.
Hill Yu frowned, pulled Willis over, and asked, “What were you thinking? Starved senseless?”
“What are you talking about!”
Willis pouted.
“I found a talented person!”
“Talented?”
Hill Yu glanced at the dirty girl standing uneasily in the City Lord’s Mansion.
The passing people seemed to have noticed her Heterochromatic Eyes, and also smelled a foul stench.
So, they all chose to detour around her.
This made the girl even more nervous and uneasy.
“I think you’re the talented one!”
Hill Yu shot back at Willis.
“Wherever you picked her up, just send her back.”
“If I’m not mistaken, she’s also got Heterochromatic Eyes?”
“Do you know what Heterochromatic Eyes represent!?”
Faced with Hill Yu’s question, Willis shrugged indifferently.
“Sister, do you still believe in that stuff?”
Hill Yu paused, frowning.
“I don’t really believe… Fine, not to mention her eye color.”
“With that skinny frame, what could you even do with her? Even as a bed warmer, I’d find her too bony!”
“Forget it, seeing her like that, she’s a pitiful one. Just give her a few more Silver Dragons and some An Ding Liang.”
Seeing Hill Yu’s confusion, Willis whispered a few words to her.
After hearing, Hill Yu looked incredulous.
“Are you sure? Could it be you’re just finding excuses for your own hunger?”
“Am I that kind of person!?”
Willis put on a face full of innocence and grievance.
That’s really hard to say — Hill Yu’s gaze was the answer.
“Hehe, anyway, Sister, just wait and see. I never misjudge people. She’s really talented.”
Just then, Anne stomped over, cheeks puffed with annoyance.
“I went over there to help with registration…”
At this time, there was a dense line of commoners outside the City Lord’s Mansion, all coming to receive An Ding Liang and Compensation Money under the Lord’s Order.
Although the City Defense Army maintained order,
Having a trustworthy person to oversee things was always good.
Willis said seriously, “Then I’ll trouble you, Anne.”
“Hmph!”
The reply was a jealous snort.
Willis was left bewildered.
Seeing she didn’t understand her meaning, Anne got even angrier.
“I’m leaving now! Hmph!”
“Mm? Okay!”
“I’m really leaving!”
Anne emphasized again.
Willis nodded.
“Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!”
Like a pouting child, the girl stomped away, leaving Willis dumbfounded.
That spoiled child act made her uncertain whether it was aimed at her.
“Um, Sister, did you have a fight with her?”
“Me?”
Hill Yu had still been thinking about Becky, but now laughed.
“Imperial Younger Sister, you call yourself smart, but I think you’re even dumber than a block of wood.”
“Ah ah?”
“Come in.”
Holding Becky’s hand, Willis brought her into the bathhouse.
“Watch your step. Take off your clothes.”
Faced with Willis’s command, Becky hugged herself nervously.
She looked cautiously toward the direction of the voice.
“This is… the City Lord’s Mansion?”
She had already confirmed her location from the sounds outside.
Willis didn’t hide it.
“Yes, the City Lord’s Mansion. I am Willis Egbert. This is a place to get you cleaned up.”
“Willis…”
Becky froze for a few seconds before reacting.
“Im… Imperial…”
“Where’s yellow?”
Willis chuckled and walked over.
“Imperial Princess!?”
Becky fell to the ground in fear.
“Why… why is it you… I… I am not worthy…”
“Enough!”
Willis raised her voice, cutting her off.
“I brought you here not out of sympathy, or pity, or kindness! It’s simply because I want you to do something for me.”
“Do something?”
Becky trembled.
“What can I do for you?”
“You’ll know soon enough.”
With that, Willis ordered her to remove her clothes.
Looking at her thin body, except for the chest, it was all skin and bones.
It really was hard to feel any interest.
Willis pulled her into the bath, starting to wash her.
“Your Highness, I… I can do it myself…”
“You’re blind. What can you do!?”
Willis cut her off.
“But… you’re an Imperial Princess… How could you… At least let someone else…”
“Is that so?”
Willis’s movements didn’t stop, and she kept talking.
“I’m a bit of a clean freak. I don’t like others touching my things.”
“Even with maids, only when it’s absolutely necessary.”
Of course, half of that was a lie.
After all, such personal care is also a way to win people’s hearts.
“But…”
“Don’t move!”
“Oh.”
Throughout the process, Becky bit her lip, letting Willis handle everything.
Then…
Tears fell like broken kite strings into the bath.
“What’s wrong?”
“No… nothing…”
Becky sobbed, wiping her tears.
“It’s just, since I can remember, no one has ever bathed me like this. This is the first time.”
Even more, the person was an Imperial Princess.
What a noble status!
“No one? What about your parents?”
Willis asked.
“When I was very young, maybe my mother did. But since I can remember, no one else.”
Becky showed a happy yet nostalgic expression, mixed with her tearful face.
Truly pitiful.
Afterward, Willis took out her own special Bath Cake with a unique fragrance.
This slippery and soft Bath Cake was said to be made from a mixture of many scented plants, very expensive.
Becky smelled it and cried even more.
“First time too?”
“Mm.”
After changing the water and washing again, Willis patiently cleaned off the dirt.
The girl cried and thanked her continuously.
Annoyed, Willis just said one thing: Shut up!
Gradually, the girl stopped crying, revealing a shy, longing look.
“Still the first time?”
Willis asked mischievously.
“Mm.”
The foul smell was gone, the grime washed away.
Willis looked at the blushing girl with satisfaction.
Though thin, her delicate face and pure body…
And those beautiful Heterochromatic Eyes and purple hair…
“Mm mm, not bad. I’m satisfied.”
Be grateful.
If not for those Heterochromatic Eyes, such a little beauty might not have ended up with me.
Willis was in a very good mood.
The girl, nervous and anxious, suddenly looked up and smiled.
“Your Highness, you’re a good person.”
That left Willis dumbfounded.
A good person card?
“I’ve heard a lot of other evaluations, but this is the first time being called a good person.”
“Maybe you still have time to correct it. Say it again?”
“Your Highness, you’re a good person.”
The girl was honest.
Seeing her sincerity, Willis didn’t argue.
After changing her into clean clothes and having lunch, Becky looked much more lively.
But for some reason, during lunch, Ofilia and Anne left the table after just two bites.
“Ofilia?”
“What?”
“Why are you eating so little?”
Willis frowned.
“What’s it to you how much I eat!?”
“You’re my property. If you lose weight, will you compensate me?”
Willis stared at her chest.
“And if certain parts don’t satisfy this Imperial Princess, I’ll sell you off.”
“Hmph! Whatever!”
Ofilia stomped off angrily.
She seemed to be sulking.
Victoria also tried to persuade Willis to send Becky back.
But Willis refused.
“Don’t worry, I never misjudge people.”
***
In the afternoon, more and more commoners gathered outside the City Lord’s Mansion.
Borden and Nidnia simply moved the speech stage outside.
Working with the Xionghu Army soldiers, they continued to stir up
Pah, to win more prestige for Willis through sincere emotion and genuine action.
All afternoon, the chants of [Long live the Lord] and [Long live Her Highness Willis] never stopped outside the City Lord’s Mansion.
Meanwhile, Willis brought Becky to Winnie’s room.
In this luxurious and unfamiliar environment, Becky kept wanting to return.
She kept telling Willis, [Someone like me is unworthy…]
[All I bring is disaster, nothing else…]
It made Willis a little irritated.
On the bed, Winnie was the same as always.
Eat when awake, sleep after eating.
When not eating or sleeping, she just stared at the ceiling.
As before, Willis took the hot water from the maid and wiped her body.
Afterward, Willis looked at Becky.
“The song you sang this morning, sing it again.”
She didn’t know why Willis wanted her to sing.
But having been cared for all day, Becky softly parted her lips.
“Mm mm~ mm mm~ la la la~”
The melodious song floated out, and the noise outside instantly faded.
Winnie, lying on the bed, was also drawn by the sound, her emotionless eyes fixed on Becky.
“Mm mm~ mm~”
[Detected faint Healing Magic. This target has not yet awakened magic, but has already absorbed Healing Magic on her own.
There is a sealed power within the Heterochromatic Eyes, still unopened, but its hidden power is not low.]
Reading the Real Eye’s information, Willis smiled in satisfaction.
Becky’s singing carried a mesmerizing magic.
And within it, there was even a trace of healing power!
To merge magic into song—what a stunning talent!?
With proper training, she could even activate magic arrays with her voice alone in the future, enabling large-scale group healing!
Unfortunately, the girl was blind.
But perhaps precisely because she couldn’t see, her singing was so pure and infused with healing power!
Willis was intoxicated, but Becky couldn’t finish the song.
Willis wasn’t in a hurry and turned to Winnie.
At last, under the song, the Elf showed some spirit.
In Healing Magic, there are spells that heal the mind and soul, but there were no such Healers around Willis for now.
So Winnie’s recovery was slow.
But as Becky’s song ended, Winnie finally spoke her first words in days.
At the same time, Willis was nearly struck speechless.
“I want to pee…”
For a moment, everything—wanted or unwanted—fell silent.
“Cough, well, that counts as good progress too.”
Willis came back to her senses, then picked up Winnie and went outside to let her relieve herself.
Just like a gentle husband caring for his wife.
