The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

Bella continued.

"No, Bella, I can't watch you bear this alone."

Lucy insisted on refusing.

"My attitude is the same as Lucy's."

Anne said firmly.

"Don't be like that, Anne, Lucy, actually I still have my own little selfish reasons."

After a few more seconds of silence, Bella spoke again, this time in a very soft voice.

"Selfish?"

Lucy and Anne expressed their confusion.

"Yes, actually I... I like Prince Leon."

Bella kept her head slightly lowered.

"Huh? Bella, you—how could you have fallen for—"

How could you possibly fall for a bastard like Leon?

Lucy didn't say the words that would cost her her head, but the disbelief on her pretty face was very obvious.

"Bella, you—you you you—"

Anne was equally surprised; it was all so sudden.

Although Leon is very handsome, after spending time with him, it becomes very clear that he is a scumbag.

Leon was also surprised at this moment.

Leon has only been in this world for less than a month, and he has never had any contact with this Bella. Therefore, the Leon that Bella likes must be the former "Leon".

No way? Σ(っ°Д °;)っ

How could a jerk like the original owner have any girls who like him?

Despite his great surprise, Leon remained in a drunken state, demonstrating the self-cultivation of a seasoned actor.

“Yes, I like Leon, but he is a high and mighty prince, and I have no chance to get close to him. So this time alone with him... Anne, Lucy, please grant me this wish. Even if it means death, I think it will be worth it.”

Bella's tone was full of pleading.

"Bella, I didn't expect you... alright."

Lucy gave in.

"Alright then, Bella, I think Your Highness actually..."

Actually, there's really nothing good about it.

Anne hesitated for a moment, but finally relented, "Alright then, Bella, good luck."

Uh, this...

Leon didn't know what to say.

While they were talking, they were actually moving around. At this moment, Leon had already been carried to the bathroom door by two maids.

Anne, Lucy, and Bella worked together to get Leon into the large, gold-plated bathtub.

After exchanging glances, Anne and Lucy left without saying anything.

After all, Bella liked Leon, and neither of them could argue with that.

After Anne and Lucy left, Bella gently locked the bathroom door.

The bathroom, though not very large, was extremely luxurious, and instantly fell silent.

Looking at the drunken Leon in front of her, Bella suddenly had a smug smile on her face.

Then, she slowly approached Leon, her simple maid nightgown flowing down from her shoulders to her heels like water.

No!

What's happening here!

You're giving me a bath, why are you taking off your own clothes?!

Looking at the vast expanse of snow-white that suddenly appeared in front of me, it was breathtaking.

Leon was completely dumbfounded.

P.S.: Only three days off for National Day... I'll try my best to update a lot tomorrow, I'll post as much as I can. It's almost the end of the month, so please give me your monthly votes... [Subtle hint]

Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Pitiful Person

The nightgown was as smooth as silk, sliding down from her shoulders to her heels.

Then, Bella emerged from the skirt that had fallen to the ground. She was only wearing a lace-trimmed bodysuit, and her beautiful figure was almost completely exposed to Leon.

Continuing forward, she quickly walked to the edge of the bathtub.

Bella...

Leon's brain was racing, trying to recall details from the original series in an attempt to find the character Bella.

This guy even dared to challenge a prince, so he must have been a significant figure in the original anime, right?

Hmm... Let me think, let me think, let me think...

It was her!

That's strange. This female character was just an ordinary extra in the original anime. But upon closer analysis, her desire to sleep with me does indeed fit her greed.

Bella was just a minor character in the original anime. She was a vain and greedy woman, but she didn't have any outstanding abilities, which meant that her strength didn't match her ambition. However, she was lucky to be good-looking, so she could only rise to power by selling her body.

In the original series, she first hooked up with Jack and became the head maid. Then she got entangled with a certain count and was eventually severely punished by the countess, after which she had no chance to recover and was no longer part of the story.

The Countess commissioned Helena, who was hiding in Guberland as a private detective, to gather evidence of the Count's affair. The Countess paid a large sum of money for this, which was a lifeline for the impoverished Helena, who was living on black bread at the time.

After recalling the original storyline about Bella, Leon quickly figured out what kind of person Bella was, and thus understood the reasons behind her actions.

That is—the naive girl thought she could become a prince's wife.

That was indeed what Bella was thinking.

That bastard Jack promised to help her climb to the head maid position, but after they slept together, he became a wanted criminal himself. Otherwise, she would probably be the head maid by now.

It's impossible for Bella to rise to power through Jack's connections, which is why she's very distressed.

But when she saw the drunken Leon, she suddenly wanted to take a gamble.

If she were to have relations with Leon today, it would be best if Leon could impregnate her and give her a child of the Hoyle family. That way, for the sake of the royal family's reputation and for the sake of the child, she might be able to become a prince's consort.

The Princess Consort of the Fchester Empire!

That was the highest honor and wealth.

So, Bella only told Anne and Lucy nonsense about liking Leon; her real motive was to get the chance to be alone with Leon and have sex with him.

If she gets pregnant with Leon's child, she could rise to the top in one step. Wouldn't that be much more comfortable than being a mere head maid?

With this thought in mind, Bella's eyes were filled with madness.

She quickly bent down, her icy hand reaching for Leon's shirt, but just as she was about to touch him, Leon suddenly grabbed her wrist, stopping her from doing so.

This!

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

Bella was stunned by Leon's sudden action.

"Who are you? Where am I?"

Leon tapped his head lightly with his other hand, feigning a dazed state, yet still retaining his ability to think logically.

"Your Highness, you are currently in the palace."

Bella answered quickly.

Your Highness sobered up so quickly? No way!

Bella was stunned.

"The palace? Hmm, then what are you doing? Why are you dressed like that?"

Leon's deep blue eyes were fixed on Bella.

"me……"

Bella trembled with fear, and Leon could feel her wrists growing colder.

"roll."

Without a word, Leon abruptly shook off Bella's hand and uttered a single word with a fierce expression.

"Okay, Your Highness."

Bella was terrified and had no interest in playing her game of tag with Leon anymore. She simply picked up her nightgown from the floor, hugged it to her chest, opened the door, and ran away.

The farce has now come to an end.

"Whoo~"

As Helena says in the anime, the palace is truly a terrible place.

Leon put his arms on either side of the bathtub and let out a long sigh.

Bella was too naive. Even if she had a relationship with him, it wouldn't be her turn to become the Crown Princess.

Because Leon could have easily ordered her execution the next day, there would have been no chance for her to have a child.

So if Leon wants to beat her up, even if he beats her up tonight, what can she do?

Of course, Leon wouldn't do that.

First of all, Leon has a mental fastidiousness. In the original series, when he was with Jack, Bella was already having sex before. As for who else had been with her before, Leon was neither interested nor needed to investigate. In any case, he had no interest in getting on that kind of public bus.

Then there's the second point: Leon is a very conservative and principled guy. Of course... if Helena had ulterior motives towards him, then Leon might actually continue to pretend to be drunk.

After all, the main reason the original anime was so popular was Helena; her looks and personality truly captured the hearts of many men. Back then, Leon was also completely obsessed with her.

Leon watched this anime not entirely because of the yuri (lesbian) scenes, but mainly because he was attracted by a poster of Helena.

In the poster, Helena stands on a sunny deck, wearing a navy blue ship girl uniform, looking absolutely stunning.

Ok……

If I have the chance, I'll get Helena one of those outfits...

Thinking of this, Leon chuckled mischievously before quickly returning to normal.

But I digress. Let's get back to Bella.

When Leon was talking to Lucy and Anne earlier, Bella said something that was true: her family members were indeed dead. If Leon remembered correctly, they died in the war against the Orcs.

She was one of the victims of war, and in truth, she was a tragic figure.

With her abilities and methods, she posed no threat to Leon in the slightest. So Leon should just pretend he knew nothing about what happened today, and continue being the regent prince, while she continues being the palace maid.

As for what happens to Bella later, let her do whatever she wants. Although everyone's fate is different—some are born orphans, while others are born into wealth and power—the final outcome is ultimately determined by oneself.

Leon is not a saint. There are too many pitiful people in this world. He can barely take care of himself, so how can he have the energy to save everyone?

Although the main storyline of this anime seems to be Helena trying to heal this corrupt world.

But that's all for later. Right now, the important thing is to prevent Helena from being captured and brought back to the palace.

Although being a phoenix-like figure doesn't necessarily mean death if captured, physical suffering is inevitable.

Leon didn't want his favorite goddess, whom he had loved in another world, to be tainted in the slightest, even though they were separated by a screen.

Thinking of this, Leon quickly got up and climbed out of the bathtub.

After tidying his collar slightly in front of the bathroom mirror, he quickly left.

The original series only had one season, and the ending was the same as the beginning: the world was still terrible.

But as long as Helena is alright, perhaps a miracle will happen.
