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