Fourth Prince's Debauchery - Chapter 129

Chapter 129


"Hope, where are you going this late?" Lotus, Lilia's second maid, and Hope's friend, asked when she saw her friend leaving the room .

It was already seven at night, and the two maids had finished their duties with the empress .

Normally, her duties would not end until nine o'clock, but Empress Lilia went to the Emperor's bedroom tonight, so they were sent to rest early .

But strangely, when Hope reached her bedroom, instead of wearing her pajamas, she dressed relatively nicely and prepared herself to go outside .

Hope froze for an instant hearing Lotus's question, but she made sure of hiding her uneasiness and put on an apologetic tone .

"… I'm going to the servant's quarters . I promised Daisy I would help her with something tonight . "

"Daisy? Is she not Prince Claus's maid?" Lotus asked with a confused expression before nodding . "Now that I think about it, you have a good relationship with her huh… Hope, you are not going to tell her anything you can't say, right?"

Hope's back was full of cold sweat, but her face showed a bitter smile, without any sign that she was hiding anything .

"Of course not . I know the rules, Lotus . Even if she and I are good friends, I'll never betray my master . Lotus, please, keep it a secret from her majesty . You know that she doesn't like anyone related to Prince Claus, but I had taken care of Daisy from when she was a little child, so I want to help her if it's possible . "

In the empire, being a personal servant means being completely loyal to one's master . Each personal servant was indoctrinated from a child through certain secret methods to never betray his master .

Although the method to create such loyal servants was very expensive, it could not be denied that it was effective . In history, the number of times that a specially-cultivated personal servant betrayed his master could be counted in one hand .

It was the reason Lotus did not doubt Hope's words, and it was the reason Hope did not lie about seeing Daisy . After all, if she lies and someone discovers it, then the empress will become suspicious .

Lotus looked at Hope and sighed . "I understand, I'll cover for you . But don't take too long . It'll be bad if someone asks for you and you are not here . "

"Thank you very much, sister . " Hope smiled happily and kissed Lotus on the cheek . Exasperated, Lotus pushed her outside . "So corny, hurry up and go! Stop bothering me!" Saying that, she closed the door .


On the other side of the door, Hope's expression turned complicated and she sighed .

Actually, the method used to train personal servants was truly effective . It was so effective that, despite Hope having slept with Claus once before, she still hesitated to tell him the truth .



Hope truly did not want to betray the empress, but when she thought about Claus perishing under her plots, her heart would constrict painfully .

Hope felt really conflicted . Thus, after hesitating for a while, she finally decided to visit Daisy first and think about everything else after that .

Unexpectedly, when she reached Daisy's room she learned that Daisy had not returned to her room .

It did not take Hope long to figure where Daisy was . After all, there was only one place in the entire palace where Daisy could be at this hour beside her bedroom .

However, Hope wanted to avoid that place if it was possible .

After struggling for another few seconds, Hope finally took a deep breath and made up her mind .

With big steps, she walked towards the prince's room .

*Knock Knock* Hope knocked twice on the prince's room softly, as though fearing that someone answered . She decided that if nobody answered after five seconds, she would go back .



But it seemed as though fate wanted to bring her here tonight .

Almost immediately after she knocked on the door, someone opened it .

"Sister Hope?" Daisy tilted her head curiously and invited her inside .

Hope hesitated slightly before entering . She then looked around nervously before sighing in relief when she realized that Claus was not in .

Seeing that, Daisy giggled mischievously and teased her . "The youngest princess kidnapped his highness for today, so I'm not sure if he will sleep here tonight . How unfortunate, I'm sure you wanted to see him badly . "

"I-I don't!" Hope denied her words instantly, although her face had turned red . "I-I came cause I wanted to talk to you . "

Daisy giggled, but she stopped teasing Hope . "Is it so? Okay, then, let's talk . " Looking at the two of them, anyone would think that Daisy was the elder and Hope the younger .

Actually, Hope didn't have any idea what to talk about . But now that she was here, she could only bite the bullet and find a topic of conversation .

To her dismay, though, the two brown-haired women's conversation quickly turned into a conversation about Prince Claus .



Through the conversation, Hope could feel Daisy's deep love towards the prince . Daisy's words were filled with happiness . Every time she mentioned the prince, her eyes would glow brightly .

For a brief moment, Hope felt envious . Daisy, despite being a servant like her, could stay with the love of her life freely . She could accompany him proudly and help him every time he was in trouble .

She, on the other hand, could only long for him despite knowing that they were in different camps .

A deep feeling of sadness and longing filled Hope's heart . Seeing the happy face of Daisy, Hope wanted to escape from the room and cry below her blankets .

But at the same time, she wanted to continue hearing Daisy's words . She imagined herself in Daisy's shoes, being every day together with her loved one .

'Maybe dying like that is not so bad…' With an inwardly sigh, Hope decided to go back to her room .

But at that moment, someone opened the door .

"Oh? We have visitors huh . "

Hearing once more the voice she longed to hear, Hope didn't know if to be happy or to be sad .
