A girl with slightly pointed ears, shining golden hair, and features as delicate as a finely crafted doll rolled over a few tis on the bed.
Her exquisite face twisted slightly, glistening with sweat as if she were suffering, appearing ill?
The next second, her eyes snapped open and she took a deep, gasping breath.
Her blood-red eyes scanned the surroundings with confusion.
"Where is this?"
This wasn't her room, so what was going on?
In the next mont, mories flooded back like a tide, making her understand her current situation.
As punishnt for her arrogance and offense against that person, she would have to serve him properly as a maid until he was satisfied before he would let her go.
So, were those claims actually true?
That making an enemy of him was equivalent to declaring war against nurous factions?
More importantly, did he really kill a god like Indra? Was that even possible?
But Elnhilde believed it, because she later saw a figure approach—the beautiful angel Gabriel with twelve wings, who treated him with great respect.
And even the original Gremory had submitted to him.
Therefore, Elnhilde was terrified—terrified that she had provoked such an existence, and even more terrified that she might bring destruction to the Vampire race.
So she absolutely had to appease him properly, she had to satisfy him.
Then, she should get up quickly.
Fortunately, the nightmare had woken her up early, otherwise she might have overslept due to not yet being accustod to her new status.
Sighing, she got up and picked up the maid uniform that had been placed beside her at so point.
She removed her clothes piece by piece, then put on the maid uniform item by item, finally slipping the black knee-high stockings over her smooth, delicate calves and stepping into the round-toed leather shoes.
Looking in the mirror, she told herself not to wear such a miserable expression.
After taking a deep breath and exhaling, she stepped out of the room and headed toward the room of the person she needed to properly apologize to.
"U-um, may I co in?"
Standing at the door, she spoke in a sowhat timid and soft voice, but received no response from inside.
At that mont, another figure appeared—it was the nun nad Asia.
"You are? Mm, looking for King Solomon?"
"Ah? Yes"
Elnhilde responded sowhat flustered.
"If it's King Solomon you're looking for, he's still working in his office"
The nun murmured sowhat drowsily before heading to the bathroom.
She didn't seem fully awake yet.
In the office? Where was that?
Ah, was it that room?
Last night, the princess of the Phenex family had shown her around to familiarize her with the environnt, so the office should be that room.
Additionally, she had been allowed to return to the Vampire territory yesterday afternoon. After informing the queen about what happened, she had returned—she didn't dare not to return.
So Elnhilde headed toward that room.
When she arrived, she saw the door slightly ajar and could see several figures inside, almost all of them asleep as if completely exhausted, with only one person still working at the large desk.
After steadying her emotions again, Elnhilde nervously entered and approached the teacher who went by the na Renji at Kuoh Academy—whose true identity was actually King Solomon.
As she got closer, she realized he was writing magical formulas?
"U-um, what should I do?"
After watching quietly for a while, Elnhilde asked timidly.
"What should you do? Do I really need to teach you that?"
He raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, making her feel as if she'd been glared at by a ferocious beast, causing her delicate body to tremble involuntarily.
"You usually have maids attending to you, right? Just do as they do."
Is that so?
Elnhilde recalled how her maids usually served her.
Ah, at tis like this, they would prepare tea, right?
Where to make the tea?
After scanning the large office, she spotted the tea preparation area.
She went over, boiled the water, and put tea leaves into the teapot. That should be enough, right?
After pouring water into the teapot, just enough to cover the leaves, before they were fully soaked, she lifted the teapot and poured directly into the teacup...
Then, she picked up the teacup.
So hot! Her hand imdiately let go, nearly tipping the cup over.
Biting her lip slightly, she endured the heat and picked up the teacup again, carrying it over to him. When she reached his side—
"Please, please have so."
So, he glanced at her and reached out to take the teacup directly.
But just as he was about to touch it, Elnhilde suddenly retracted her hand, causing the scalding water inside to slosh out and splash onto her own hand. Instinctively, she let go due to the heat, and the teacup fell, landing right on him.
"I-I'm sorry, so sorry. I was worried you might get burned. I didn't an to, I'm truly sorry."
Ignoring the burn on her hand, Elnhilde imdiately apologized in a panic, so frightened that she was on the verge of tears.
"You really are clumsy."
"S-Sorry, I... I've never done this kind of thing before. It was always the servants who did it~"
The Vampire young lady's voice also carried a hint of grievance.
So, Renji raised an eyebrow. He could tell that this Vampire young lady's arrogance hadn't disappeared; it was rely overshadowed by fear.
Although her current words and actions were full of fear, placing herself in a lowly position, the deeply ingrained pride ford over a long ti was etched into her mind and body, impossible to change imdiately.
She seed 0.1 parts aggrieved and also seed to be conveying this ssage: "I am the young lady of the noble Vampire clan. Personally brewing tea for him is an honor; he shouldn't scold for it."
So, she needed to be properly disciplined to rid her of her arrogance. Turning it into tsundere pride would be quite good.
Thus, he didn't say anything more and simply stood up to walk outside, while she followed anxiously behind.
Finally, after entering the bathroom, her fearful expression beca even more pronounced.
"What? Haven't your servants ever assisted you with bathing?"
"Y-Yes, they have, but, but..."
But the ones who assisted her were female, while now she was to assist him, a male.
So, saying this, Elnhilde bit her lip slightly and stepped forward.
