"Mistress, everything is perfectly ready," announced the Head Maid of Mariel, her voice reflecting a hint of disapproval.
"I-I see... We will be heading there shortly," Mariel replied, straightening her dress before stepping out of the room, the scent of naughty lingering behind.
"Hello, HeadMaid" Eli greeted with a wave as he followed Mariel.
"Tsk," the Head Maid clicked her tongue, her disdain palpable in her eyes as she acknowledged Eli's presence.
"Welco... Sir," she forced out the words, her tone dripping with barely concealed animosity.

'She really can't stand ... well, can't bla her,' Eli thought to himself as he observed the middle-aged woman with red-blue hair.
"Do you have any siblings?" Eli inquired, a hint of scepticism in his voice as he considered the Head Maid's features. If she had horns, wings, and tails, she would bear a striking resemblance to Evelina, though Evelina was younger than this headmaid.
"I am the only daughter of my parents... sir," the Head Maid replied, her disdain palpable even in her curt response.
Mariel frowned, sensing the tension in the air. She knew her Head Maid harboured strong negative feelings toward Eli, yet he was her beloved. Mariel couldn't stand by and watch Eli being looked down upon, even if it was by soone close to her... How could she allow sothing like this?
As Mariel was about to scold the Head Maid for her attitude, an alarm interrupted the tense atmosphere.
~Ding~Ding~
"It's ti!" Eli exclaid, glancing at the alarm on his phone. Mariel nodded in agreent, signalling that it was indeed ti to proceed to the underground prison.
Unlike their previous visits where everything was grimy and unkempt, this ti, the prison was spotless and organized.
"I don't want my love to be tainted by these disgusting surroundings!" Mariel declared proudly, her smile conveying that she understood Eli's sentints perfectly.
Eli returned her smile, appreciating her thoughtful gesture, though he couldn't help but let his gaze linger on her ass as she swayed seductively, her movents alluring in their own right.
"Hehe..." Mariel smiled inwardly, enjoying the attention she was getting from Eli. She enjoyed teasing him and seeing his reactions.
"Tsk," the Head Maid clicked her tongue in annoyance, her disapproval evident as she observed the playful exchange between Eli and Mariel.
They entered the cell, and Eli's eyes landed...
"Looks good," he remarked, his attention drawn to a red cocoon lying on the ground.
"We recreated it exactly as you instructed from the picture you sent us," Mariel explained, lifting the red cocoon delicately to avoid damaging it before handing it over to Eli.
Eli accepted the cocoon gently, his mind montarily comparing it to Prisania's own red cocoon. "Let's move it to the top. You've prepared the room, right?" he asked, turning his attention to Mariel, his tone filled with anticipation.
"Yes, everything is ready!" Mariel confird before they left the underground area, carrying the red cocoon with them.
Upon reaching the room, Eli carefully placed the red cocoon on the bed, taking in the familiar surroundings that resembled his room in Nex.
"Now, Mariel, I need you to wait outside and set up a barrier around your territory.... just in case," Eli instructed, his expression serious. Mariel nodded in understanding and Head Maid was about to follow Mariel, Eli swiftly caught her hand, pulling her back and pressing her against the wall.
'Thud'
"W-what are you doing...?" the Head Maid protested, attempting to break free from his grasp.
"Nothing," Eli replied as he sniffed her hair, noticing a different scent, 'Slls different...' he frowned.
"I-Is this how you treat an old lady like ?" the Head Maid's voice was now laced with even more disdain, her eyes narrowing slightly as she t Eli's gaze.
"I've had enough of this charade!.... Evelina, I know it's you," Eli said firmly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
"What the hell are you talking about? I am not Eve or whatever you think!" the Head Maid retorted, her voice rising with indignation, "Let go, you perverted bastard!!"
"Tsk, I guess I have no choice..." Eli mumbled almost to himself before tilting her head slightly and focusing intently on her lips, searching for any resemblance to Evelina in her features.
Eli had long harboured suspicions that both Head Maids, the ones serving under Mariel and Adriana, might actually be the sa person, given their strikingly similar appearances that he couldn't shake off no matter how he looked at them.
While so might speculate they were related... perhaps mother and daughter or even sisters—there was sothing about their expressions that always unsettled him. Both of them seed to regard Eli with a subtle disdain when he first encountered them.
Exactly the sa expression of disdain!
Although he didn't dwell on it much, as his main concern was his own safety and goals, it did irk him to think that Evelina was toying with him, assuming his ignorance.
Eli then whispered with a hint of mischief, "They say the taste of a kiss never changes, even if your body odour does."
The Head Maid's face turned from defiance to horror as she registered his words. Eli's statent was ant to push her into a corner, hoping she would finally drop the pretence. If she continued to deny the truth, he knew he would be left with no choice but to take a more drastic step, such as a kiss, to force her hand.
"What? Scared?" Eli asked, raising an eyebrow as he observed the Head Maid's reaction.
"Of course, I am!!" The Head Maid exclaid, her face displaying genuine horror. She added, "You dare to kiss an old lady like !!"
"Hmm..." Eli was slightly taken aback by her genuine expression. 'Maybe I am wrong...' he wondered but decided to push a little further.
With a sly smile, he remarked, "Well, as long as it's a lady... I don't care about their age," inwardly adding, 'I an, I'm practically married to a 1000s of years old woman.'
anwhile, in a distant location,
'Achoo!' Lilith, who was engrossed in watching a nightly video, suddenly sneezed, thinking, 'Did my dear think about ~?' She chuckled to herself before continuing to view the secretly recorded video.
Back in the room,
"I-I will call the Mistress!!" The Head Maid shouted, her face flushing red with embarrassnt.
"Before you do, I will seal your lips~" Eli whispered playfully, leaning closer towards her trembling lips. The Head Maid's face turned even redder as she closed her eyes and bit her trembling lips in fear.
Just as their lips were about to touch, a sudden interruption broke the tension.
~Ring~Ring~
Eli halted his movent and glanced at his phone's caller ID, which displayed 'Evelina'.
Eli then looked back at the Head Maid before answering the phone...
"Eli, Can I bring him now?" ca the voice from the phone.
Eli frowned, his thoughts racing. 'Am I wrong?' he pondered before releasing the Head Maid, who imdiately rushed away.
Eli stared at the door for a mont until the voice from the phone shouted impatiently, "ELI!"
Shaking himself out of his thoughts, Eli responded, "Yes, bring that Incubus."
