Chapter 65: Then Let’s Get Married
***
This bold thought startled Eve, and she couldn’t help but look the Empress up and down.
That nearly perfect figure, full but not fat, as if not a single bit of flesh on her body was superfluous. Adding or subtracting even a bit wouldn’t be right.
Those graceful curves, just one glance would make anyone unable to look away. It was hard to believe she was already a married woman with a child.
Or rather… being a married woman made it even better and more flavorful, hehe…
Usually, even stealing a glance or two would be considered luxurious, let alone helping the Empress measure her figure.
Just learning about those nearly perfect measurements would make Eve’s nose feel hot.
This is indeed the royal family’s strict selection…
However, Eve wondered if the Emperor would sentence her to death along with nine generations of her family if he knew about her inappropriate thoughts about the Empress.
Thinking of this, Eve unconsciously looked down at her own figure, still unable to see her toes due to her magnificence.
Compared to the Empress, she didn’t lose at all. In fact, thanks to Eve’s attack-speed-maximizing outfit and that gloomy, delicate expression, Eve even had a slight edge over the Empress.
She was already a woman, and she was also a mother of a child.
What’s wrong with two mothers exchanging parenting experiences?
What? You’re asking why these two mothers are sharing breastfeeding experiences when their children are already old enough to run errands?
Isn’t learning endless?
Does becoming a mother mean you have to stop learning? It’s really not that Eve is just craving…
“You’re a very interesting person, Miss Eve. I think we’ll get along very well.”
The Empress looked at Eve, growing more and more fond of her.
Eve’s pleasing appearance was one thing, but the secrets she hid behind her were what fascinated the Empress even more.
Women always like mysterious things. Just like how her daughter Alice was curious about what color Eve would wear today.
Chancelianne herself was also very curious about Eve’s undiscovered shining points.
“Since you’ve agreed, shall we set the time for you to teach Alice in two days? It won’t take much of your time after class, and I won’t short you on the payment either.”
Chancelianne looked at Eve, giving her no time to think before setting their next meeting time.
As expected of a royal family member, the attitude was indeed firm.
However, Eve had no objections. It wasn’t because she was curious about how impressive the Empress’s measurements were, but simply wanted to make a contribution to the Imperial family.
“It’s my honor that Your Majesty values my skills. I’ll follow your arrangements.”
Eve slightly bowed her head, and this response pleased Chancelianne very much.
She nodded, then turned her gaze to Alice, who was standing obediently beside her.
“I still have some matters at the Royal Palace, and about Lorraine’s family…”
“Mother, are you going back?”
Before Chancelianne could finish speaking, Alice had already cut in.
This made Chancelianne stop what she was about to say.
“Oh, what a pity. But Mother, you are indeed busy with state affairs, I understand. You don’t need to accompany me, after today’s graduation ceremony, I’ll return to the Royal Palace by myself.”
“You don’t need to worry, Miss Eve is with me.”
Looking at her daughter’s eager attitude to send her away, Chancelianne couldn’t help but show a helpless smile.
However, Alice indeed hadn’t been allowed to leave the Royal Palace for activities these past few days. This was the Church Academy after all, so safety wasn’t a concern.
Moreover, having Miss Eve as company was indeed reassuring. After all, they would have a relationship as both teacher and friend, so it’s good to enhance their friendship.
What if staying at the academy a bit longer would inspire her to study hard when she returns?
After all, these few years are the golden time for learning magic. Once missed, there won’t be any progress for life.
“Very well. Then I’ll have to trouble Miss Eve to look after Alice.”
Chancelianne nodded, thinking of letting the two strengthen their friendship, and Miss Eve’s daughter Leah was an outstanding graduate of the Church Academy, ranking at the top in all subjects.
It was clear she was good at educating children…
Little did she know that Eve and Alice had a special relationship, and if they continued to strengthen their friendship, it would truly become a relationship of both (wet) teacher and (soaked) friend.
“No trouble at all, you’re too kind.”
Before Eve could finish being polite, Alice had already stepped forward and hugged Eve’s arm.
This made Leah, who was watching from the side, widen her eyes.
Even she, as her daughter, didn’t dare to directly hug her mother’s arm in public, how dare the Princess do this?
There’s a cat stealing fish!
And it’s a cat she has no power to resist…
Leah’s joy from earning 20 gold coins instantly plummeted.
“Don’t worry, Mother. I’ll just take a walk around with Miss Eve and then return.”
On the surface, Alice and Eve seemed as close as sisters.
But in reality, behind everyone’s backs, Eve felt that her black stockinged bottom had already been secretly grabbed several times by Alice with lightning speed.
I have to say, this girl’s speed was truly fast.
It was a speed even Eve, as a witch, had to acknowledge.
“Good, then you two chat. I’ll head back first.”
Chancelianne nodded, then turned and left with several servants.
With the Empress’s departure, everyone present couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, except for Eve.
“Um… Your Highness. There are many people here, could you please take your hand out from inside my skirt?”
Eve said in a low voice to Alice beside her.
If she had said she didn’t recognize the well-behaved Alice from earlier in front of Chancelianne, then now she had a complete enlightenment about the current Alice, knowing her all too well.
The anti-counterfeiting verification had passed, so to speak, now she really knew her.
“Hehe.”
Alice didn’t respond, just silently took her hand out, pretending to rub her nose while actually taking a deep breath.
Ah! Going to get addicted… sister, you smell so good.
“Your Highness, this is a public place, have you considered? With your status, what should we do if our relationship is discovered?”
Eve lowered her voice, with a hint of anger in her tone. She needed to properly educate Alice and make her realize the seriousness of the situation!
“What else can we do? Go public and get married? What… are you feeling wronged about marrying me? I won’t mind that you have a child, I’ll treat Leah as our own daughter.”
“…”
As expected of Princess Alice, truly impervious to reason.
“Have you considered that Leah is only 11 years old now, and you’re only 5 years older than her.”
“Hmm… that is a problem.”
“So…”
“If she can’t adjust, we can keep our relationships separate, it’s all for the child’s sake. I’ll call her sister, and she’ll call me mom.”
“…”
