Chapter 135: Alice Wants More

Leanna was a bit perplexed. “Opportunity? What exactly is that?”

“For example, a romantic trip for just the two of you,” Lisana replied word by word.

“I have somewhat come to terms with the False King’s blood. Roy is likely unconscious because the demigod’s power is too strong to control, leading to intensified bloodline side effects.”

“In this case, to relieve it, you need to find a place where the extraordinary elements share the same properties as the demigod, and bathing in that environment will naturally calm the restless demigod’s power.”

Upon hearing this, Leanna’s expression gradually brightened.

At that moment, Lisana smiled knowingly and hinted, “Coincidentally, I have a friend in the South Sea Kingdom.”

“Got it?”

“Got it!”

The mother and daughter looked at each other with narrowed eyes, sharing a mischievous smile as if plotting some naughty scheme.

Of course, to Kreya, it seemed that Cassandra’s mother and daughter were simply planning a spontaneous vacation trip.

Right now, she had no idea how serious the problem really was.

———————-

Dark purple flames engulfed the world.

Fierce demons, pouring blood, shouts of battle and cries of despair interwoven, creating a hellish scene.

But what truly terrified Alice was not hell itself, but the figure of a person within that hell.

That was her master.

And it was a sight she had never seen before.

On the hellish battlefield, the Black-Haired Boy bathed in demonic flames, fighting against demons, pressing on relentlessly, yet moving further away from her.

Alice desperately reached out, calling to him, wanting to catch up to that figure, but was blocked by the demonic flames.

She could only watch helplessly as the boy’s figure gradually receded, unable to do anything.

In the end, the boy finally fell exhausted and wounded in the dark purple flames, disappearing completely—

Alice jolted awake.

What greeted her was a somewhat blinding morning light and the familiar wooden ceiling.

Turning back, her little dog doll stood dazedly at her bedside.

With tousled blonde hair, Alice propped herself up, bathed in the gentle morning breeze, lingering for several seconds before relaxing.

She placed a hand on her chest and sighed softly.

Just a dream.

The day after Roy left for the Purple Magic Faction’s expedition, Alice felt a sudden anxiety while washing the dishes.

Just like the earlier dragon commotion and the attack of All Things Wither.

After that, Alice did feel somewhat uneasy.

But soon, the black mage sent back a reply, saying that although Roy was injured, he just needed a few days of rest and wouldn’t be seeing anyone.

Her master was indeed okay!

Just as he had promised, no matter what happened, he would definitely come back!

It was a pity she couldn’t go see him…

However, as her master’s maid, she should be concerned about his health and not disturb his rest.

After all, her master would be back in a few days; all she had to do was be a good girl and wait at home.

With those thoughts, Alice finally set aside her worries and threw herself into the bustling school life, doing everything she needed to do while patiently waiting for her master to return healthy.

However, days turned into weeks.

Every night, Alice sat on the couch, quietly staring at the entrance and door until she could no longer resist drowsiness. Every morning, she would rush to Roy’s room to check if she had missed his return.

Today was no different.

Without even changing out of her pajamas or brushing her hair, the blonde girl slipped into her fluffy slippers and hurriedly pushed open Roy’s door.

But just like the door at night that never got a knock, her master’s room was perpetually empty, with only the white curtains fluttering in the wind.

“Not back yet…”

Immediately, Alice’s mood soured. It was still early in the morning, yet she hung her head down, feeling listless and sleepily droopy, like a flower that hadn’t basked in sunlight for far too long.

That’s fine, all she had to do was take care of the usual things and wait for her master to return.

Slowly, she moved to the bathroom, only to realize it was the weekend, and she didn’t need to go to school.

She had originally signed up for an extra practical class on weekends, but the teacher responsible for it was injured and recovering from the expedition against the Purple Magic Faction.

As for cleaning her room, it was already spotless, and even Alice couldn’t find a single fault with it.

Alice always ticked off her to-do list like a clockwork toy, methodically completing each task. But once that mechanism was gone, she was at a loss.

Especially now.

With nothing to do, Alice returned to Roy’s room, hugging her knees as if she were a lazy golden retriever sprawled on the floor, completely still.

Anyone familiar with Alice would be shocked to see her like this.

Because the little maid prided herself on never embarrassing her master, always dressing impeccably, with every move proving undeniably refined, setting impossibly high standards for herself.

Yet, all of that was for Roy.

Even if his gaze just flickered her way for a moment, it was enough to satisfy Alice, making her feel all her efforts had been rewarded.

But now, alone by herself, Alice felt completely drained, lacking the motivation to do anything. Her beautiful golden hair was tousled, her slightly wrinkled pajamas remained unchanged, and she had completely devolved into a useless maid who couldn’t do anything.

On the seventh day without her master, she missed him.

Alice buried her head in her knees, her delicate toes curling tightly, radiating a strong sense of emptiness.

However, she quickly lifted her head.

This won’t do!

As her master’s maid, how could she let him see her like this, so hopeless?!

She had to cheer herself up!

So, even if it was just a little, she needed to absorb some of her master’s essence…

This was all for the sake of boosting her spirits!

Alice suddenly stood up, her eyes sharp as she glared at the bed beside her.

That’s her master’s bed.

That’s the bed her master slept in.

That’s the bed with her master’s scent!

Alice’s gaze gradually became ethereal, as if hypnotized, slowly walking in front of the bed, kicking off her troublesome slippers, and kneeling on it.

She wrapped herself in Roy’s blanket, her nose twitching, and just a whiff brightened her expression immediately.

But that wasn’t enough, far from enough.

She couldn’t hold back any longer.

Cuddling the comforter tight against her, the familiar scent of her master enveloped her, feeling as if she were resting in her master’s embrace.

“Ah… Master…”

Warm waves of tingling sensation coursed through her, and Alice couldn’t and didn’t want to resist that feeling, burying her head deep into Roy’s pillow.

Her originally flawless little face flushed, her crystal-clear blue eyes gradually grew dreamy, and her dainty little feet danced around restlessly. Most importantly, soft words slipped from her usually composed lips.

“Master, master, master~”

“Alice wants more~!”
