Once the bath was done, Naeva and Ophelia took a dip in the warm pool filled with flower petals and soothing aromatherapy. After a while, they lay down to receive professional treatment by the maids.
It felt really good and relaxing. Naeva wanted to have a maid so she could experience this every day. It's not just Naeva, the maids who take care of her also feel the same way. It was easy to take care of Naeva because she was already beautiful. Naeva also didn't move much and let anything be done to her. It was a bit different from their Princess and Ophelia who were rather regulating this and that and forbidding this and that because they were used to this kind of service.
The professional hands of the maids who were very attentive to the comfort of the people they served made everything feel so soothing. Naeva started to get sleepy, unknowingly, she fell asleep in the middle of the treatment.
"Lady Winter," one of the maids tried to wake her up.
Naeva blinked a few times before actually opening her eyes.
"Hmm?"
"Your treatment has been completed. Please get up and let us help you get dressed. You may catch a cold if you lie down any longer," the maid said worriedly without compromising her politeness.
Naeva started to get up and sat up.
"Hmm... Okay."
The girl was still a bit sleepy. The maids helped her walk to the dressing room and put the Ptolemaios Sultanate's distinctive clothes on her. By the time Naeva's consciousness completely returned, she had already finished putting on her clothes.
"Kyaaaaaaa!!! It fits perfectly...."
"I knew Lady Winter would fit into the blue dress!!!"
"Our hard work paid off!!!"
"Lady Winters is the type who wears anything that fits, you know!"
"Yep, yep, we just polished it a bit."
The maids looked at Naeva with a very satisfied face. Like she had just completed a work of art. Her white skin was neatly wrapped in a soft, expensive blue cloth and several pieces of pure gold jewelry adorned it. Naeva's head was also adorned with beautiful gold jewelry. The maids also put her in heels that matched her dress.

"......"
Naeva stared at her reflection in the mirror expressionlessly.
"Seeing me in this outfit... It feels like I'm really in Ancient Egypt," Naeva mused.
"Oh, you're done too, Naeva?"
A familiar voice emerged from behind another dressing room.
A girl with dark navy hair and golden eyes appeared. The girl was also wearing a similar outfit to herself. Harem pants with a tube top, complete with pure gold jewelry on her hands, neck and head. This kind of dressing style seems to have become a trademark of the Ptolemaios Sultanate.

Ophelia walked slowly towards Naeva, then observed her from top to bottom.
"Hmm... It's weird to see us wearing dresses like this," she giggled.
"Ah, but it fits! I just... Umm... find it a little unusual."
Ophelia didn't mean to mock Naeva. It was just that she rarely saw people wearing dresses like this. Only the original Conqueror of the Ptolemaios Sultanate wore it all the way to the next floor.
Most foreign Conquerors would only wear this special dress on the 2nd floor. They all change clothes according to the floor they come to or wear special clothes from their own floor. It is also possible to wear clothes that are favored and comfortable to wear from other floors because of their simplicity.
"You look dissatisfied about something," Naeva said.
"That... How did I..."
Ophelia hesitated to answer.
After making sure there were no servants nearby because they were still cleaning up, Ophelia brought her lips to Naeva's ear.
"Aren't the clothes in the Ptolemaios Sultanate too revealing? If you look at the clothes of Bere and Cleopatra and their maids, our clothes seem to be covered."
That whisper in her ear made Navea remember something.
"The Calliope family, which upholds elegance and modesty, would definitely not like to wear dresses that are too revealing. Cleopatra probably realized that and helped make the clothes given to us much more covered than usual."
"Hmm...? Wait. Then why did this child ask for the Sultanate's signature dress before? When she has seen for herself how open Bere's are."
Women are indeed difficult to understand.

The bath service was over. Naeva and Ophelia walked to the dining room escorted by several female guards and maids. Naeva didn't like it much. The girl was too used to a life of privacy back on Earth. While the service was nice at times, it made her feel like her privacy was being intruded upon.
Well, although in this case, it was true that the service provided was also surveillance.
"Naeva! Lia! You've come, come here! Here!" exclaimed Bere as soon as Naeva and Ophelia were seen entering the dining room.
With just one code from Cleopatra, the guards and maids stopped at the door, not entering the dining room.
"Widih, hmm... Hmm..." Bere nodded in satisfaction.
"You guys are really beautiful! The Sultan's clothes fit you well!" praised Bere honestly.
Even as a princess who had often met beautiful people, the beauty of her two friends was in the upper category. Wait a minute, Naeva too? Well... The earring item could indeed make Naeva's face invisible, but the aura emitted by her could not be covered with just that. That's why, Naeva still bought that aura and existence disguise belt. And now the belt was in the room.
Ophelia's face was slightly flushed at the tips of her ears.
"Please don't praise me too much, Your Highness Princess."
"Ehh? But it's true! Right, Cleopatra?" Bere asked her sister.
Cleopatra gasped slightly, as did Ophelia and Naeva.
Sis, she's blind.
"Bere!"
"Ah... Sorry..." Bere regretted.
The younger sister just chuckled.
"Fufufu... I don't know how you two look now. But I did see both of your faces in a future scene."
"As Aneue said, you are both very beautiful. Please be more confident," the girl said.
Ophelia was touched, at the same time she glared at Bere.
"Bere, you!"
"Sorry, I forgot! I swear!" Bere regretted from the look in her eyes.
Ignoring the three girls who were getting awkward, Naeva walked to one of the chairs at the large dining table that could fit up to 10 people in front of her. Princess Berenice and Princess Cleopatra had been assigned seats at the table at the north end facing each other. There was one empty seat between Bere and Cleopatra that was not adjacent to the other seats. It was probably the Sultan's or the Queen's place if they came.
Without thinking, Naeva sat next to Cleopatra. Naeva also understood etiquette. The seat next to the host was for their important guest. And right now, she and Ophelia were those important guests.
Hearing the sound of a chair being pulled up next to her, Cleopatra gave Naeva a small nod in greeting. While waiting for her food, Naeva whispered softly, trying not to let her voice be heard by Anubis' sharp ears.
"Why did you want to see me alone?" Naeva asked without taking her eyes off Bere and Ophelia who were still chatting casually.
Cleopatra smiled wryly, she had expected Naeva to choose to sit next to her because she wanted to tell her something. But still, it was a bit disappointing.
"The future I told you about, only 50% of it contains the truth."
Naeva glanced at Cleopatra as if asking for an explanation.
"So you want to explain the other 50% only to me?"
"Exactly," Cleopatra smiled.
"Is that something they shouldn't know?" Naeva asked again.
"Yes. It would be a problem for me if they found out."
"Hmm... Alright, I'll listen later."
Naeva refocused on her table. The kitchen servants were already arriving with the dishes served to them.
"Thank you," Cleopatra whispered softly.
"My nails, we've been eating nothing but bad food all week! Aahh... I really miss the Palace chef's dishes..." Bere's words got everyone's attention.
"Naeva! Lia! Eat as much as you want! This is also a gift for you! If necessary, just tell me if you want more. The Princess Palace will do its best to entertain you!" Bere smiled widely.
Ophelia was amused. Bere who was brash and outspoken was somewhat restrained in her palace. Her words were at least no longer rude and impolite. Although yeah, it's still not polite enough for a princess.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness Princess. We will certainly enjoy this dinner," Ophelia replied just as politely.
"Thank you... Your Highness," Naeva replied rather lazily.
"Okay, you're welcome!"
It seemed like Bere was rather enjoying the moments of her friends treating her more respectfully.
Various dishes were served one by one on the table. Dishes that Naeva and Ophelia had never seen before. Sometimes the taste did not suit their palates, sometimes it was very delicious and appetizing.

The food and drinks are served one by one with just the right portion to fit everything in their stomachs.
Naeva herself quite enjoyed it. Perhaps because she was also from the East, Eastern food suited her palate, especially those that smelled of rice and spices. However, there were some dishes that tasted strange, at least to her. But Naeva finished them anyway. She didn't like wasting food even though as an Ice Princess, she didn't need to eat either.
After dinner was over, Bere took her colleagues out for a walk outside the Palace, visiting the capital city to enjoy the atmosphere of the Ptolemaios Sultanate. Fortunately, there were not many people who had seen Bere when she was picked up, so Bere only had to cover her face with a veil. Ophelia also wore it instead of her hood.
Cleopatra, whose face was known everywhere, could only escort them to the Palace gate. There, Bere, Ophelia and Naeva were reunited with Hamer and Ruka. They were also dressed in the Sultanate's typical attire.
"Fiuww..." Hamer whistled.
"You're so beautiful, ladies~" he praised as he made a greeting gesture.
Bere slapped Hamer on the head.
"Dihhh, uncle! Don't be so pretentious! It's disgusting to see!"
Hamer was furious, "Woi! Get a grip! You are the princess!"
"This is what makes me distrustful. How can this barbarian girl be the princess... What Ptolemaios Sultanate is running out of girls!?"
Bere, "💢💢💢"
"What do you want to be executed for, uncle!?" Her anger.
"Help! Help! There's an abuse of power!" joked Hamer, further upsetting Bere.
The others laughed. They had been worried about their relationship after Bere and Ophelia revealed their identities. But it seemed like it was just a useless worry. Nothing had changed about them, at least they were trying not to change the relationship.
The five chatted casually for a while while introducing Cleopatra to them. After a while, Naeva and the others said goodbye to Cleopatra. They left the palace area on foot and headed into the city while joking around, increasing their intimacy. To be honest, Cleopatra was a little jealous, she also wanted to have fun with friends like her sister. But her duties and obligations prohibited that. And Cleopatra herself understood how great her responsibilities were.
The girl turned around, re-entering the Palace with a mysterious determination on her face.
"Come to your senses Cleopatra. Such pleasures are not your right."
"I must finish it immediately. To prevent a tragic future that destroys everything. I will definitely do whatever it takes. I will save my family."
"Even if it means... I won't be able to see them again."
