Help! Its host was very scary! Did it make a mistake?!
Emily lowered her gaze and looked at her palms. There wasn't a single callous, which was completely different from her original body.
With a smile, Emily asked, "Mimi, what career should I choose now? You are here to change my career, aren't you? Then, give me some suggestions. You ought to know some things, right?"
She was enthusiastic to hear Mimi's ideology on 'career-changing.'
Mimi felt conflicted about this. It didn't know how to speak its thoughts without offending her. So, it decided to tread carefully... besides, its host was unpredictable.
"Host, you are now an empress... so maybe that's your career? Or, you can leave the imperial palace and become an adventurer. Think about it... people will remember your name as a great warrior! But... you can also be a businesswoman. A trader, maybe? What do you think?"
Emily curled up her lips in disdain and scoffed, "You should keep your thoughts to yourself. Did you think that I would relinquish my position? I am an empress so of course I will have to keep this profession." She shouldn't have asked that white ball anything. Clearly it was stanching her mindset.
Mimi pouted. If she had already decided, then why ask it?
Suddenly, three maids entered Emily's room. They bowed their heads, showing respect to their empress.
"May the sun always rise in your favour, Your Majesty."
"May the sun always rise in your favour, your Majesty."
"May the sun always rise in your favour, your Majesty."
They said in unison.
Emily smirked at them. Their reactions satisfied her. Loyalty mixed with admiration... these maids were good.
Emily ordered, "Rise your heads, and prepare yourselves to bath me. Is my bath ready?" Her voice was cold, showing her authority.
Mimi was shocked. It never expected its host to adept that quickly. But then again, its host was an actress... though she was quite unsuccessful.
The maids raised their heads. One of the maids named, 'Trisa' replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. Everything is ready. Shall I approach you now for assistance?"
Emily nodded. According to the memories, Caroline always got helped by these maids when she woke up. It was the part of routine. Maybe she should make more mental notes on Caroline's behaviour. She had already prepared a basic shell and now all she needed do was fill it up.
Trisa nodded and approached Emily. Removing the blanket, she helped Emily to stand.
"Not bad, Trisa. Have you done your hair?" asked Emily.
Trisa blushed and nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"It looks good. Although, you should leave your hair a bit more on the sideways. It will make you look more beautiful," commented Emily, fully adapting Caroline's persona. She always liked women who dressed beautifully.
Trisa blushed even more. Compliments from the empress always made her heart race. Her master was truly the most beautiful woman in the empire.
"I will, Your Majesty. Shall we proceed as usual."
Emily nodded, "Yes, it should be like always."
◆◇◆◇◆◆◇◆◇◆◆◇◆◇◆◆◇◆◇◆
Emily let out a long sigh. The rose water was lukewarm, soothing her body. The petals in the water were rubbing against her, making her feel giddier. In the past, she would never have imagined to bath in rose water.
"Your Majesty, shall we rub your body," asked Umi. She was one of the maids whom she had seen this morning.
Emily smiled, "Yes, you can. But be gentle, okay?" A playful look was seen on Emily's face.
'You know it's a cheat. Having this body is really sinful. Even women get affected by my body. Am I really saintess?'
Mimi replied, "You are a saintess. But I think the problem lies with you." The original owner was a divine existence, but its host? She was the devil. Being in her body had increased its allure.
Emily frowned at its words.
Umi was now rubbing her hands with soap.
Ah, the poor girl might faint at any second. Was she going to be 'bent' from now? Maybe not. She was the one who bathed Caroline for a few years now... and had a boyfriend. So, no.
Umi bit her lip. It was a privilege for her to bathe the empress. But still... her heart couldn't withstand looking at empress's body. She had to control her heart every time she bathed her master. Even five years weren't enough to stabilize her heart.
'Come on, Mimi. Don't feel shy~ I am sure you are even affected by me. If Caroline had used her looks, I am pretty sure she would have been able to defeat that idiot.'
Mimi was speechless. Why was its host being so narcissistic? Also, it would never get affected by its host!
'Whatever that makes you sleep, Mimi. But I know you like me~'
What the hell!
Mimi decided to ignore its host.
Emily ignored Mimi's silent protest and asked, 'You are a system, shouldn't you give me some profile or something? Maybe some skills?'
Mimi replied, "You need skills? Have you forgot your identity? Besides, I don't think you need skills." It was being sarcastic.
'Hmmm... correct. This body is powerful if used properly. Also, I can just steal some stuff from the protagonist. Clearly, he wouldn't refuse his 'mother,' would he?' All kinds of bad thoughts emerged from Emily's mind, scaring Mimi.
It lit a candle and prayed silently for the male protagonist.
Mimi said, "Although, I can make a profile card for you."
With that, a screen appeared in front of Emily, visible to her eyes only.
[Name: Caroline Rusenberg (New)
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Career(s): Actress (Old), Empress (New), Saintess (New)
Morality: 0/100
Body: 92/100
Voice: 90/100
Scent: Lavender
Personality: Not Good. Proceed with Caution.]
Emily's eyes darkened drastically. She wanted to break the screen in front of her. Was the white ball trying to make fun of her?
Mimi was aware of its host anger, which was constantly increasing. But even it didn't know it would turn like this. It just used its mechanism to make a profile for its host... it didn't know it would turn like this. And why was its host's morality... 'zero?'
There must be something wrong with its mechanism!
Before Emily could say anything, Mimi apologized, "Sorry, Host! It seems my mechanism isn't working properly! Let me contact my higher ups and talk to them."
Hearing its words, Emily's eyes finally returned to normal. As expected, her system was a defect... otherwise it wouldn't have created this lousy profile. Where were attributes?! Her skills!
'Can I have more than one profession?' asked Emily.
Mimi replied, "Yes!"
'You are an idiot, aren't you? Shouldn't you inform me about this? If I had known, I would have never discussed about my career with you. Can your higher ups replace you?'
It teared up when it heard its host merciless words. It yelled, "You are a bully! I am not talking with you!"
