Chapter 109: Chapter 7 - Head Maid Massage

The privilege of being a maid was incredibly pleasurable. This warm pool felt like a blessing from a goddess descended from heaven, easing the fatigue and weariness I’d been feeling.

Even at my young age in this time, I’ve become addicted to this bath activity.

It felt different from the onsen I was used to, but it wasn’t so bad when combined with the full-body massage. Without a word, the Head Maid massaged my upper arms and shoulders, pressing on relaxing points that felt good and made me sigh softly.

Of course, I feel all these services are not without reason.

I was allowed to experience this relaxing massage to learn, using myself as a test subject to find the right relaxation points.

"Your shoulders feel so hard, Liliana."

"Don’t push yourself too hard to write in the middle of the night, or you’ll end up with a hard muscle buildup in your shoulders."

Nyyyuuuttt...

Nyyyuuuttt...

The Head Maid’s gentle massage hit the hard and stiff spot on my shoulder, suddenly making me wince in pain after the Head Maid massaged it quite hard.

"Huuunngg!! P-Please don’t massage that part too hard, Head Maid!" I screamed in a voice that was holding back the pain.

The pain was like a metal rod piercing through my body. It was so intense that the muscles in my shoulder trembled with the sensation of pain spreading rapidly throughout my shoulder.

"H-How did you know I was writing in the middle of the night, Head Maid?" I asked, holding back my sobs after feeling a painful massage on my shoulder.

"This is what you call experience, Liliana. I know, because in the past, our beloved Duchess would stay up until midnight writing reports. Her shoulders were growing new muscle tissue, and I was having a hard time finding a suitable fur coat to cover them. It’s a bit of a hassle at that time, because she’s still so concerned about her appearance as a young woman who’s only been married for a year. Luckily, that hasn’t continued to the present; she’s already happy with her two children and her beloved husband."

It seems I’ve just listened to the Head Maid’s complaints and the story of Duchess Adelheid Von Blutfeld’s past. It’s not a bad thing. There’s been significant development character in that past story, especially with the mystery of the Duchess’s muscles hidden beneath her beautiful and graceful appearance.

During my intensive training, the Duchess’s sword movements flowed like calm water and were effortless. This meant something was playing a vital role in replacing her arm muscles. Without the role of arm muscles or any other muscles to balance her sword technique, that was the true answer I need to seek. It may have sounded like a far-fetched reason before, but now it makes sense.

Her arm and shoulder muscles were deliberately absent to enhance her elegant appearance as a Duchess. Her beauty was maintained through a rigorous and torturous diet, so muscles were not a reasonable answer to Duchess Adelheid Von Blutfeld’s primary source of strength.

The most reasonable answer is the efficiency of her magic.

She’s already at a stage where she can control her magic well. Even a five-hundred-year-old sage would remain powerful as long as the mana within his body could replace his muscular needs.

"I know that feeling, Head Maid. You must be having a hard time keeping Duchess Adelheid Von Blutfeld’s natural beauty shining brighter than other women, right?"

"Although it feels like a waste because the Duchess was already beautiful from the start," I said while keeping my words in check so as not to hurt the Duchess’s feelings.

Although she appeared calm and enjoying the warm bath, her piercing red eyes were fixed on the Head Maid. Like a predator closing its eyes, pretending to sleep, and waiting for the right moment to ambush its prey.

That’s what keeps me on my toes.

"Beautiful from the start? That’s too much for our Duchess, Liliana."

"I’m not exaggerating. Because it’s true. Master Reina even inherited her beauty. Her long, silky red hair, her captivating red eyes, and her honest personality. I think it comes from our Duchess."

"You mean... an overly honest personality?" the Head Maid replied, her tone implying something else.

"Y-Yes, because she was too honest. I could understand Master Reina’s feelings more easily."

This conversation is giving me more and more of a headache.

Isn’t there anything Head Maid can say that is safe and doesn’t make me bother to find a logical reason?

It’s already twice... That I had saved the flow of this conversation to maintain her good relationship with Duchess Adelheid Von Blutfeld.

Bllussshh...

On the other hand, the Duchess looked proud of something I didn’t know, and Master Reina blushed. Master Reina turned her head away with a glance at me, then looked away again. Master Amagi, watching this with puffing cheeks, and approached me slowly.

"H-How about me, Liliana?" Master Amagi asked with an innocent look that was full of hope for her.

The sudden question confused me for a moment, but I managed to figure out what she meant after Marchioness Shinano Vii Lichtberg looked at me curiously.

"A-About Master Amagi? I-I think it’s much more complicated because Master Amagi has a quiet personality. Guessing what’s in your heart is a bit difficult, but that’s what makes me try to understand what Master Amagi likes."

"The more I understand Master Amagi, the more I understand what she’s thinking."

"I still have a long way to go to understand Master Amagi’s mind, so please be patient with this unreliable apprentice maid, okay?" I said to Master Amagi, who expecting a honest answer, but ended up with this insistent request.

Master Amagi puffed out her cheeks and wanted to say something to me, but she let out a sigh of relief first.

"Huufftt... Yeah, I’m not really open with people I don’t know. But if Liliana wants to get to know me better... I’ll wait until the day when Liliana really gets to know me," said Master Amagi with a sweet smile on her face.

"B-But... don’t make me wait too long," Master Amagi pleaded while puffing out her cheeks to look cute.

I smiled too, when seeing Master Amagi’s cuteness. She said it as if she didn’t want to lose to Master Reina, who was too honest with her feelings. My two Masters’ personalities were opposites each other, and as a maid assigned to serve them, I felt this kind of complex personality as a challenge.

"Don’t worry... Not too long," I said confidently.

That’s not just empty talk. Of all the Villainess girls in this novel’s world, Master Amagi is the easiest to understand. She’s a hard worker who won’t stop until she’s satisfied. I just need to support her and stay by her side when she needs something. She’s not as complicated as Master Reina, whose her stubborn are persistent and her needs must be met at all times.

"Are you sure? My need is quite difficult to understand, you know," said Master Amagi, who sounded like she was challenging me.

"I know... that’s why I need time to understand what’s in your heart," I replied while enjoying the Head Maid’s massage that was moving down to my chest.

Sqquueesshh...

Sqquueesshhh...

Her hands deliberately massaged my flat chest, too childish to dominate my body that was being pampered by her little massage.

Master Amagi’s eyes went blank as she watched me receive a chest massage. Without speaking her mind, Master Amagi simply stared at me with an incomprehensible emptiness.

"Oh, it really does take time to understand Young Miss Amagi’s heart," said the Head Maid while massaging my chest.

Nyyyuuuttt...

Nyyyuuuuttt...

Her hand massage felt so good. It made me close my eyes, savoring every gentle pressure on my chest, which had been feeling stiff lately.

"Humm??" While enjoying the gentle massage, I looked at the Head Maid, who was smiling broadly with pride.

I don’t know what she’s done. As long as my survival instincts and danger detection aren’t activated, I think it’s safe.

"It’s okay. You can understand Young Miss Amagi’s feelings slowly, Liliana. There’s no need to rush. It would be more troublesome if you understood Young Miss Amagi needs and feelings faster than you should."

The Head Maid said something I didn’t understand between her hand massages. My mind couldn’t keep up with her meaning and intent.

Gllaarree...

Gllaarree...

Meanwhile, Master Reina, who had been blushing and reluctant to look at me, now stared at me with a sharp gaze, fixed on my chest, which looking at the hand Head Maid. Her massage wasn’t too hard, just a tingling, circular motion that made me breathe a sigh of relief.

The Marchioness and Duchess seemed to have finished their routine morning massage, and the maids in charge of massaging them moving out from the noble bathroom.

"Enough playing around, Mell."

"It’s time to prepare for intensive training."

Gllaaarrreee...

Gllaaarreeee...

Duchess Adelheid Von Blutfeld’s orders sounded gentle to my ears, but somehow her gaze looked scary, as if she was going to do something to the Head Maid.

Is this related to the little tease that happened during the warm pool soak session?

Or is there something else I’m not aware of and forgot to sweep up to lessen the impact of the problem?

Whatever happens after this, I have to find a way out as soon as possible.

Syyyuuuutttt...

Syyyuuuuttt...

The Head Maid suddenly hugged me from behind. Her large breasts pressed against my back, making me feel it.

"Eh? But I haven’t pampered Liliana with a thigh massage yet?" the Head Maid retorted with an unreasonable refusal.

"DO NOT DO IT!"

"YOU CAN’T DO THAT TO LILIANA!"

Right in front of me, Master Reina and Master Amagi screamed. Their gazes were fixed on the Head Maid, who was hugging me even tighter from behind.

"With all due respect, Young Miss Reina and Young Miss Amagi... I have to do this so Liliana can get the experience of massaging your thighs too!" the Head Maid argued.

"This is for your future..."

"Young Miss Reina and Young Miss Amagi want to feel Liliana’s hand massage all over your body after a day of hard work to release all fatigue, right?"

Ugh, why the Head Maid is getting more and more insane with her naughty jokes?

What happened to her head, anyway?

She didn’t eat poisonous mushrooms or hit her head on something hard before, right?
