Chapter 320: The Final Taming of the White-Haired Maid, The Complete Overthrow of Mary Sue (2)
The image of the handsome boy surfaced in her mind, his face and smile painfully clear.
'Ahhh!'
Lilith buried her face into the velvet covers.
'Impossible!'
'Why am I even thinking about this absurd question?'
It must be because she had been momentarily deprived of oxygen, making her thoughts muddled!
Sitting up on the bed, Lilith's delicate face carried an expression of determination.
"He's just my pet. A dog. How could anyone fall for a dog?"
Any kindness she showed was merely the benevolence of an owner.
And what should a loyal dog do?
Assist her in capturing beautiful girls.
Yes, exactly that!
And nothing more.
Lilith repeated this conviction five times in her heart, finally dispelling the untimely thoughts.
Resting her chin in her hands, she let out a long sigh.
Even after convincing herself, there was still a sense of emptiness within.
Her first kiss was gone.
And it was given to him…
Suddenly, Lilith's breath caught.
She realized something important.
He was merely a dog she raised—so did it even count as a kiss?
Of course not.
Would a pet licking its owner be considered a loss of purity?
Being close to a pet was perfectly normal, wasn't it?
Even if it was on the lips… it was still… normal, right?
Yes, exactly!
Lilith's spirits lifted.
Following this logic, she was still clean!
Her first kiss was intact!
So, there was absolutely no need to dwell on what happened.
That wasn't a 'real' kiss.
Not at all.
Convincing herself with this reasoning, Lilith nearly believed it entirely.
With this newfound mindset, her mood soared.
Even the sunset outside her window seemed brighter and more beautiful.
That night, a faint tremor shook the foundations of the Guen estate, sending subtle ripples through its halls.
But at the same time, a different kind of tremor rocked the bedchamber.
Silver hair scattered over the silk velvet sheets, blooming like an exquisite snow lotus.
Her cold and stunning face carried an expression of disdain.
Yet her eyes were nearly vacant.
Her vision blurred, the world around her doubling, except for the flawless face of the boy before her, which remained painfully vivid.
Her mind spun like a kaleidoscope, filled with dazzling fragments of thought yet incapable of coherent reasoning.
She simply let go.
Drifting with the tide.
The next morning, sunlight streamed across Tia's face.
The moment she opened her eyes, realization struck her—
She was late!
Scrambling to rise, she was immediately met with a wave of soreness that made her body weak.
Memories of the previous night flooded back.
Had she passed out from exhaustion?
Her thoughts were a jumbled mess, but her actions remained swift.
Even if she couldn't report to her lady on time today, she needed to tidy up and apologize.
Rushing to Lilith's door, Tia took several deep breaths to steady herself before pushing it open—
Only to freeze in shock at the sight before her.
Lilith sat at her vanity, eyes closed.
One maid carefully wiped her face with a damp cloth,
Another stood behind her, gently brushing her golden hair,
A third…
Tia's gaze trailed downward to the maid kneeling before Lilith, massaging her legs.
Lilith was completely surrounded by attendants—each strikingly beautiful in their own right.
And judging by her serene expression, she was thoroughly enjoying their service.
Tia stood in stunned silence.
She had never expected to witness such a scene.
Her movements became stiff, her mind momentarily blank.
Still, her instincts carried her forward to kneel before Lilith.
"My Lady, forgive me for my tardiness…"
Lilith opened her eyes, but she showed no signs of displeasure.
"It's fine. You've been running around for the past few days and even fell ill midway."
"Now that we're back home, I'm giving you some time off. Rest properly."
Lilith's tone was warm, her demeanor composed, exuding the image of a considerate master.
But Tia felt no joy at receiving time off.
She was Lilith's personal maid—her very existence depended on being by her lady's side.
And now, she had been 'replaced'.
The Guen estate had no shortage of servants.
There were countless maids ready to serve Lilith.
If she stepped away, if she lost her position—
That would be her 'real' downfall.
Punishment, scolding—none of that frightened her.
As long as she remained by Lilith's side, she had a place.
But now, she was being dismissed?
What would happen 'after' this so-called vacation?
She had only arrived a little late, and already, someone else had taken her place by her lady's side.
If she accepted this so-called break, would she even have a place to return to?
Lilith genuinely meant to give Tia time off.
Immersed in her garden of delights, she was too enraptured to care.
So many maids, so many different styles of mature and youthful beauties—
How could she possibly miss Tia?
With so many obedient and lovely maids, who could refuse?
Tia had been her personal maid for years, and yes, she was exceptional.
But even the sweetest lie paled in comparison to the thrill of something stolen~.
The maid tending to Lilith's hair glanced at Tia.
She still stood there, her head slightly lowered.
Her hands trembled ever so faintly at her sides.
The maid smirked inwardly.
This one had monopolized their lady's attention for years and still wasn't satisfied?
Now, the time had come for others to take the coveted role of attending their lady.
With a subtle step forward, the maid positioned herself between Lilith and Tia, blocking their line of sight as she continued brushing Lilith's hair.
Her voice was gentle and soothing.
"My lady, I know a special technique for a head massage that is very relaxing. Would you like me to try it?"
Lilith's eyes lit up.
She eagerly nodded.
"Oh? Yes, do it."
She didn't even notice that Tia was still standing there.
Surrounded by devoted maids, Lilith basked in their attention, the picture of tranquility.
