The Villain Princess survived the Imperial Riot

Domis looked embarrassed.

"Tsk..." Viola chuckled. She was not at all reserved, and her expression was extremely relaxed. The bright firelight reflected on her face, and the blush on her cheeks was as bright as a peach blossom.

Domis could no longer look away.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you," said Viola.

"Are you always this happy after you go to that villa?"

"Hmm... not really, but I can't say no..." Viola pondered, "Happiness and joy are different, right? Hey, anyway, I'm happy when I'm with Domis."

"Viola."

"uh-huh?"

"I like Viola."

"I know, I like Domis too."

Viola said with a smile.

The sudden love made the blonde girl fall into a trance. She carefully put her face closer, and her red lips flashed with a moist luster.

"Domis..."

"Ok?"

"You're too close."

"Sorry." Domis explained nervously, "I might be tired."

"Want to take a break?"

"Um... Viola."

"Ok?"

"Actually, uh... I have something I want to make clear to you."

"Then tell me."

"It's too noisy here, can we change to a quieter environment?"

"You." Viola sighed helplessly, "Is today a special day, or do you have a surprise for me?"

"At the Mahogany Hotel, I did prepare..." Domis had never been so nervous before, "a gift."

"what gift?"

"Can you come here for a moment?" Domis did not answer directly, but said in a pleading tone, "Please..."

Viola understood that Domis really had something important to tell her.

"All right……"

She looked at her friend lovingly and reluctantly agreed. Then, Canary's eyes lit up with a warm glow, as if she had been walking in a dark abyss for a long time and suddenly saw a ray of morning light.

The Taoqixinmu Hotel is right on the seaside, and for this moment, Duomi has made all the necessary preparations.

|

Golden roses, warm red candles, and dolls she sewed with rough cloth.

Domis didn't want her beloved to be taken away by the vicious silver dragon. She hoped Viola would understand that her feelings were not just friendship.

Will Viola really understand?

Duomi was not at all sure.

That innocent, pure and peaceful girl is the treasure she most wants to protect.

If her path ultimately led to freedom for anyone, it would be Viola, and only Viola.

Cut off Tianlong's temptation and cut off Tianlong's shackles.

Arriving at the door of the hotel, Domis suddenly remembered that the candle had not been lit yet. She hurriedly said, "Viola, wait here for a moment, I'll be back soon."

"Is it a surprise?" Viola said helplessly.

"secret--"

The blonde girl quickly rushed back to the room, which was spacious and bright, with flowers and candles creating a romantic atmosphere.

"It's not enough..." Domis murmured.

She lacked confidence and always thought Viola didn't like her enough.

Domis finally understood Gregor's feelings. Just confessing his feelings had taken all his courage.

The girl took out a small pink bottle with half of the lust potion still in it.

Cheating through potions is unfair, but it does open people's hearts more.

Drink it all in one gulp.

……

In the hotel lobby, Viola looked at the bright decoration, the crystal chandelier sparkling under the reflection of the glass.

This technique required expensive magic crystals to provide energy, which was stable and safe, but the efficiency of energy extraction was low, making it a luxury only available to the nobles and wealthy.

"Before I met His Highness, my destiny was probably the same, studying the arcane arts and serving the wealthy." Viola thought casually.

"What are you thinking about?" A voice broke the girl's thoughts.

"Your Highness!" Viola exclaimed in surprise, "You are here."

"Well, are you having fun?" Hestia sat down next to the little maid and put her arm around her waist.

"Well, Your Highness, is it time?" Viola leaned into his arms obediently, "Wait a little longer? Domis said she would prepare a gift for me..."

"But the dance is about to begin, and my partner..." Hestia pouted, "her skirt is covered in soot and has three small burns on it."

"Eh!" Viola just noticed that the sparks had burned her skirt while dancing by the bonfire. She immediately panicked, "I'm sorry, Your Highness..."

"This is your dress, what's there to be sorry about?" Hestia said, "But if you want to change into another dress, I'm afraid the time is a bit tight."

"But, Domis..."

"Go ahead and take care of your friend's affairs. I'll help you explain," Hestia said with a smile. "Besides, it's just the same if you come back to see her after the ball."

……

PS:

6k words, and paid 2k more in interest.

Honestly, I felt that the relationship between Domise and Viola wasn't handled very well, and the development of events wasn't particularly smooth. Especially with the Desire Potion, I didn't want to write Domise as a jerk who took advantage of others, so I think it would have been better to initially describe it as a Charm Potion for herself.

Finally, the princess is still a bit of a mess. But from the overall structure, this is a long-term torture and test for the character of Domis, which is quite complicated. The next few chapters will write about the princess fox's return to the dream house, which will probably make this short storyline more complete.

Volume 104: Bird in a Cage: . Silver Lamp Falling Red Candle

The hotel rooms are decorated in warm tones, with crystal wall lamps emitting a reddish-orange glow. Golden roses adorn the wallpaper and curtains, their blooming shadows complementing the ambiguous flames of red candles.

Hestia greeted the Knight Commander on the stairwell and immediately opened the door. The wind created by the air pressure made the firelight sway and the shadows flicker.

She opened the witch's book in her consciousness, and the material world began to fade. The rose petals shrank into golden feathers, and abstract bird symbols drifted with the wallpaper, as if they were about to spread their wings and fly at any time.

This place is far away from the castle, but the signs of blade repair are still obvious, so it is clear who it belongs to.

"It's really a little mouse."

Hestia sneered. She considered whether to capture the canary in the act, or let it go and secretly monitor it, thus gaining control of the rebels' stronghold.

The princess didn't feel threatened by Domis, which was within her expectations. Even if a girl of fifteen or sixteen, filled with passion, joined forces with the rebels to rebel against the empire, she couldn't possibly be very powerful and would naturally be an insignificant figure.

There have been many cases where such small figures were either pardoned, executed, or given a long-term approach to catch big fish.

Therefore, Hestia did not necessarily harbor any ill will towards the blonde girl. However, she could not accept Viola's association with the rebels, and even more so, she could not accept Viola being deceived into joining the rebel camp.

In the princess's opinion, Canary's main purpose in having a secret meeting with Viola was to take the opportunity to drag Viola into trouble.

So the truth is clear—

Canary is a member of Free Will, and she happens to have a close relationship with the princess's close maid, so she was sent by the Free Will leadership to incite rebellion in order to further carry out the conspiracy against the princess.

This is what the princess originally deduced...

However, when Hestia saw that the room did not look like a secret room where traitors met or where cunning rabbits had three burrows, but was instead a romantic space decorated with roses and candles, her expression suddenly became meaningful.

Does this Canary really have feelings for her maid?

The room is an integrated hall, divided into three sectors by screens.

A relaxing three-legged tea table, a soft bed that can accommodate five or six people, a bathtub with a running faucet, steam rising from behind the white cedar screen, and the semi-transparent embroidered cloth vaguely revealing a petite and slender outline.

"Eh... Viola?" Domis's nervous and surprised voice came from behind the screen. "Didn't I tell you to wait a moment?"

A dagger slid out from Hestia's lace-covered sleeves. She silently performed a secret technique, strengthening and solidifying her body to make it difficult to shake.

Without receiving an answer, Domis became increasingly nervous, not even daring to step out from behind the screen. She simply turned her back to explain:

"I know this may be a little abrupt and may surprise you, but... please don't leave. Just listen to me, okay?"

Hestia approached the screen and looked at the shadow in the bathtub without saying a word.

Domis continued:

“Actually… Viola, just like you can see, I like you.

"It's not the kind of liking that only good friends can have. From the first day I met you, I was fascinated by your kindness, gentleness, and simplicity.

"I always tell you that this world is terrible. Conspiracy and violence are like blood soaking into our pores. Terror and cruelty are the daily reality and the underlying tone of our lives... Sometimes I wonder why people live in such a world? If we are born to face struggle, why do we have such weak qualities as sympathy, compassion, and mercy?

"Until I met you, Viola. Your gentle, pure, yet stubborn heart is like the noblest quality described in fairy tales. You may not yet realize its existence and value, or perhaps power and worldly desires will eventually sully it, but it is within you now, constantly attracting me... You think I'm helping you, but it's your cheerfulness and enthusiasm that saves me...

"Viola, I want to protect you, and your essence, as bright as the morning light. I want to accompany you as you grow old and gray. I want to love you, I don't know... but I believe this feeling is love..."

Canary's voice grew deeper and drier, even choking with emotion and fear of an unknown fate.

But she still said, "You won't accept it, right? My friend suddenly confessed like this, you must think I'm crazy, even my cheeks are hot, I must be crazy..." She said self-deprecatingly, "But I like you, Viola."

Domis had already made preparations for the worst, but was still afraid of the figure's departure.

The air is filled with the natural fragrance of a young girl's body, which is the smell of desire and the breath of her soul.

If you smell and kiss carefully, you can feel the deep love in it.
