Lately princess Eleanor changed very much.

According to the doctor, it is because she has retrograde amnesia and as a result, she no longer knows who she is.

Is it wrong to wish that she would not recover her memory?

She treats everyone around her better and everyone seems to like this version of herself more.

'No Lilly, you can't think like this!' Lilly scolded herself inwardly while she scratches her head in frustration.

'She is my princess and I am her loyal maid no matter what! Even if the whole world shall become her enemy, I will be right by her side!' Lilly vowed to herself while raising her fist as a sign of her ambition.

Unfortunately, someone was behind her and she just subconsciously punched his nose.

And this certain someone was none other than crown prince Ethan.

By the time she realized her misdeed, it was already too late.

She knelt on her knees with her head lowered and asked for forgiveness in a trembling voice.

"C-Crown Prince I – I am so sorry I did not see you. I – "

"Rise." Ethan said in a flat tone.

When she rose, she caught a glimpse of him.

He has a nosebleed and the blood was already running down his s.h.i.+rt.

'Did I hit him so hard?'

Lilly could feel her tears welling in her eyes.

She was doomed.

Her soul slowly left her.

She could already see herself being executed for attacking a member of the royal family.

'Goodbye, old world. My only regret is that I did not have enough time to read those romance novels from the public library.' She thought with a longing expression.

'Why is she the one who wants to cry? Obviously, she punched me with all her might. Should not I be the one crying?'

A bewildered expression was displayed on Ethan's face.

"What were you doing?" Ethan asked.

"I was just daydreaming." Lilly replied in a hushed voice.

"So, every time when you are daydreaming you randomly punch someone?" Ethan's forehead knotted.

Lilly lowered her face and pursed her lips.

Her face cringed in embarra.s.sment.

"N-no it's my first time." Lilly refuted.

He raised his eyebrows in disbelief at her answer.

Lily felt as if she was wronged.

After all she is not a hooligan!

Seeing her pouting like a little child Ethan ma.s.saged his temples.

'What's wrong with this girl?'

"Give me a handkerchief." Ethan ordered.

"Y-yes here."

From her dress pocket of her maid uniform she reached for a handkerchief and handed it to him.

After he cleaned his face with her handkerchief, Lilly could properly check him out.

He looked stunning!

'No Lilly you are not allowed to have such dirty thoughts! But I will die anyway so before that, I might as well sin once.'

Not long after, she laid her hand on his face and caressed his cheeks.

She explored his cheeks as if they were an extrterrestrial being, of which she wants to make inquiries.

Ethan was utterly shocked by this bold action.

But instantly Lilly retrieved her hand as if she had now received her desired results of her research.

'What's wrong with this strange girl?'

In his whole life he's never met such a weird girl.

However, he could not deny that she piqued his interest.

He cleared his throat and handed her her towel.

"T-thank you." he muttered with a shy face.

"Y-you are welcome Prince." and she gave him a bright smile.

For a moment Ethan electrified by her smile but he quickly straightened himself up.

"If that's it then you are dismissed." Ethan said with a firm voice.

"B-but what about your s.h.i.+rt?" Lilly asked in a concerned tone.

A smile etched on Ethan's face and he leaned closer to her.

"Do you want me to strip in front of you so that you can take care of it?" with a seductive voice, he said.

Immediately, Lilly shook her head in denial and her cheeks were tinted with a slight pink.

Silence reigned again after that for a long while.

Not wanting to torment the young maid anymore Ethan decided to walk away when she suddenly grabbed his sleeve but what they did not expect was that she tore off his sleeve.

Ethan: …

Lilly: …

Lilly did not know whether to laugh or to cry.

Why was fate so cruel to her today?

Her eyes were clouded with tears and she averted his eyes.

'He certainly thinks that I am a foxy lady' echoed in Lilly's mind.

'Is she trying to seduce me? Well I offered before to strip in front of her but I did not expect that she would take it literally.' Ethan thought.

"Y-young Prince I-I did not mean to. I just wanted to let you know that I want to compensate you but you were about to go so I had to stop you." she said with a voice tinged with fear.

'This girl is really something.'

Ethan gazed penetratingly at Lilly as if he tried to see through her.

Lilly did not dare to budge an inch and tried to make a poker face with her remaining willpower.

Seeing her enforced stoic att.i.tude Ethan was amused and decided to let her go this time.

He turned away from her and told her:

"Just forget this incident and treat it like it never happened. Here's some advice for you. Don't be so intimate with the opposite s.e.x. They might mistake your intentions. Not every man is as understandable as I am."

He then left her alone.

Lilly was utterly dumbstruck but in the spur of the moment she had regained her composure.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down and then went straight to Eleanor's bedchamber.

*knocking sounds*

"Come in." Eleanor stated.

"Here are the clothes you requested Eleanor."

"Why is your face as red as a tomato?" Eleanor [Liz] asked concerned.

"Because I feel hot. Please excuse me." Lilly said in a rushed voice and escaped and fled from her piercing questions.

No one could fool Liz.

The look in her eyes was that of a woman fresh in love.

'The guy better be worthy of her.' Liz thought.

Driven by curiosity, Liz started to investigate the ident.i.ty of Lilly's crush.

…

Somewhere

"The princess and the maid Lilly seem to be very close those days." Madam Wu reported to the disguised man.

"Keep observing their relations.h.i.+p." the disguised man instructed.

"Yes, sir." Madam Wu bowed her head and then left.

'Liz Quinn I want to see your reaction when your flower starts to wither.' the disguised man thought while holding the wine gla.s.s so tight that it shattered.
