THE “RAT” turned out to be a maid planted by Princess Mikaela to spy on Sonata and Diether.

Was Sonata surprised?

[No, I’m quite fascinated.]

“We caught the maid and locked her up in her quarters,” Diether informed her while the two of them were at the rooftop of the mansion’s main building. “Since the maid belongs to Princess Mikaela, we still have to treat her with courtesy.”

Sonata, sitting on the edge of the railing, pondered for a moment while appreciating the beautiful sight in front of her.

[The Hexford Estate is indeed beautiful.]

“Can we punish the royal princess’ maid if you can’t even throw her in the dungeon?” Sonata wondered out loud. “Is the king a fool for his daughter?”

In most cases, a princess’ power was attributed to how much the king favored her.

“Yes, His Majesty favors the royal princess more than the Crown Prince,” Diether confirmed. “His Majesty turned a blind eye when Princess Mikaela bullied Celeste in the past. Instead of keeping a rein on his daughter, the king just asked for my understanding.”

Pfft.

“His Majesty only stopped Princess Mikaela from messing with us when Francine, the Saintess, stepped in,” Diether said, his voice more relaxed now. “Celeste and Francine are good friends, after all.”

“Is the king a devout follower of Goddess Avari?”

“Not really,” her husband replied. “But His Majesty knows that most of the citizens in this kingdom are devoted Avaris.”

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

Right.

[People who worship Goddess Avari are called ‘Avaris.’]

“Hence, as much as possible, His Majesty doesn’t want to antagonize the temple and its followers,” Diether said. “Anyway, since you’re not related to the temple, I don’t think His Majesty would take your side even though he seems to be fond of you.”

“So, are you saying I shouldn’t bully the princess too much?”

“It’s unfair, isn’t it?”

“But it’s fascinating,” she said, her eyes glowing. “It’s making me want to press the king’s buttons. I wonder how far he’ll go to protect his stupid daughter.”

“Ahem,” Diether said loudly, faking his cough. “Don’t talk like that in front of other people. You’ll get arrested for insulting the Royal Family.”

She just laughed.

[Things are fun these days.]

“Alright. I’ll let it slide for now,” Sonata said, turning to Diether. “Bring me to the maid– I have a job for her~”

Diether gave her an awkward look. “Now you’re making me nervous.”

***

“HE RELEASED his hard cock and cradled it with one hand while his other one grabbed her ass to hoist her up– which made it easier for her to wrap her legs around his waist, and then he pushed in–”

“AHEM.”

Sonata stopped reading a passage from the erotic book in her hand because of Diether’s loud fake laugh. “What?” she complained to her husband. “You’re disturbing Miss Leslie.”

She then pointed to Leslie, the spy maid, who was sitting on the chair behind the desk.

Sonata was sitting on the edge of the table while Leslie was writing down every word she read from the erotic book she was reading out loud.

Every. Vulgar. Word.

Leslie’s face was red– whether from anger or embarrassment, that Sonata wouldn’t know.

“What kind of punishment is this?” Diether asked with furrowed brows. “Why are you asking Miss Leslie to write an excerpt from that e-erotic book?”

Sonata pointed at the letter that Leslie was writing. “That’s the report that Miss Leslie is going to send to Princess Mikaela about our married life, my lord.”

Leslie dropped the fountain pen with a shocked look on her face.

Diether, on the other hand, looked like his eyes would pop out of their sockets. “You’re going to send that vulgar letter to the royal princess?!”

Sonata tilted her to one side. “Well, that’s what Princess Mikaela gets for being too curious about our married life, my dear legal husband.”
