Chương 346: Chapter 329. Taking A Dip In The Spring

" Finally.... Haaahhhh...."" Ruby, you're making too sloppy of a face."" But Em.... It feels soooo goooooddddd....."" Really with you, are you just trying to get all of this out of you before they get back?"" That might not be too bad of an idea... What do you think, Charlotte?"" It's so relaxinggggg..." It's been a few days since they finally finished the first hot spring bath completely and all of the ladies of the mansion were now taking a dip in the hot spring.

Ruby and Charlotte both were floating naked in the hot spring water, letting their bodies float wherever the water took them. They were unable to maintain any composure and looked as if they were floating on clouds full of happiness. I admit, the water was great, a tad hotter than I would like it, but that discomfort was eliminated after using a special Magical Device that was suggested by the Health and Safety Team.

Based on their studies, the hot spring temperature was perfect for both Demons and Dark Elves with their strong constitutions. Humans on the other hand, would most likely find the water a tad too hot, that's where this Magical Device comes in, it creates a barrier of cool air that surrounds the body and cools the area around the user. For Humans, it's almost needed to enjoy the springs. Of course, it depends on the person's preference for hot baths.

As for me, the device makes the hot spring's temperature just right." I'm surprised you're not acting like they are, Ms. Emily." Ms. Deborah, the Mansion's Gardener was currently soaking next to me and was surprised to see that I wasn't acting like the 2 girls currently lost in their own worlds." I'm afraid I'd need the hot springs to be somewhat cooler to even think about floating around with them. What about you, Ms. Deborah?" I'm treated quite respectfully by the Mansion Staff.

I believe it's a combination of my current job as Matthew's Secretary, which makes me the most important woman after Sarah and Anna. And the fact that the Humans that have stayed in Paradise tend to look for me when they need to make an important decision. I assume it's because I can inform them if the job they'd like to do is needed. After a few consultations, Ellie ended up telling her mother, Janet, then the Maids, Amy, Brenda and Catherine found out.

Before long, they all started to treat me as if I was the leader of the Humans and began to call me "Ms. Emily". Despite the fact that I've told them, I've no such Status and they should just call me "Emily"... So far, only Janet and the kids have done as I asked." Well, for me, I find the spring to only be warm."" Really?" I was shocked to hear those words come out of Ms. Deborah's mouth, to think that this was only "warm" to her... What would hot be to her I wonder? While I pondered that question, Ms.

Deborah began to answer my question." Yes, as a Snake Demon, we're cold-blooded creatures, that means that our body temperature is decided by our environment and the sun. Like other reptiles."" I hadn't even thought of asking you that until now, are you okay in the winter?"" Hm?

Well, if I was left to my own devices, sure I'd be in trouble, but Lord Matthew always makes sure that the green house is warm with its Magical Devices to keep the plants healthy, it's a safe place to rest in when I feel like the cold is beginning to be intolerable. Of course, I have his permission to take breaks in there when needed. Also, he told me that the fireplace in the living room is always open and he makes sure that the fire is always going during my work hours."" I had no idea he did that for you.""

Yes, he asked for me to not make a big deal of it and if anyone had an issue with my frequent breaks for warming up, to send them to him. I've done as I asked since-" Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings." No other Noble would be as understanding as he was?" Ms. Deborah formed a warm smile on her face as her pupils went from slitted to rounded as she nodded her head to my words. It's just like him to think something like this isn't even worth mentioning."

Ah, right, your breaks. I've always wanted to ask you, Deborah, was that the reason you protested as hard as you did when he talked about those mandatory rest days?"" Yes and no, Ms. Janet. Of course, that was some of the reason, but the other was like everyone else, I just couldn't sit back while that child was acting so cheeky."" Right... Even though Jim is working quite a bit as well and I'd like him to take more breaks, something about him asking us to accept days off while he works everyday...

If he were my son, he'd never hear the end of my scolding, I swear."

"!"" What?" I was surprised to hear Janet speak so candidly about Matthew. I guess the shock appeared on my face and Janet wasn't sure why I made such a face." I just... Never thought I'd hear you say something like that, Janet. You're usually so mature."" I have my moments. Like everyone else, Emily. I just can't always show it, I'm the Head Maid of a Marquess after all, I need to hold myself to certain standards.

As for right now however, we're all just women, bathing together, I don't see a reason to mince too many words about what irritates us as we soak in the water. Come now, I'm sure all 3 of you have your own complaints about Lord Matthew. Let me hear them, I may just be able to help you with some advice."" Oh, the Head Maid is going to be giving out relationship advice, I suppose we should join the conversation, instead of just listening, girls!"

With Janet's suggestion, Amy, Brenda and Catherine also moved closer to listen to our complaints... But wait! This means..." Oh, she's blushing! Did you really think we Servants haven't seen the way you act around Lord Matthew, Ms. Emily? Or Ms. Ruby or Princess Charlotte? It's clear as day!"" Huh!?"" What did I just hear!?" Ruby and Charlotte finally rose out of the water after figuring out what the girls were talking about. Especially after Amy said all of those things after joining the conversation.

I've always thought that we had hid our feelings well... But that was apparently wrong." Come now, Ms. Ruby, Flare was more than happy to show her support for you in various ways, if the whole town would've seen what we saw, well... Just be thankful your affections are only known to the Servants in the mansion. As for you, Princess Charlotte. What other possible reason would a Foreign Princess follow a man to another Country? Especially a place like Diablos? Then you even began to work as his Subordinate.

Maybe if something had happened during a battle or during a war, that'd be one thing, but it was just a simple visit to your home in the Shadow Forest. Take that and the way you act in front of him, well... I suppose you should feel happy that Diablos allows Polygamy, right? Well, I guess that expands to all 3 of you, doesn't it?" Ms. Janet explained our situation with a glint in her eye that rivals someone talking about their favorite romance stories... This is what it is, isn't it? We're entertainment to them!

I don't know what's more embarrassing, the fact that everything was so easy to tell or the fact that Ruby and Charlotte had already sat themselves next to me in front of the 5 women in front of us earnestly waiting for romantic advice... Wait? Where's Brend- Press... Squeeze..." Hyahh!"" Really, how are you having such a hard time with such amazing weapons? I mean, they're so soft and feel so good to squeeze..."" Brenda, stop teasing the girl." Brenda had snuck up behind me and groped me without a second thought.

Thankfully, Catherine's words put a stop to that. Release... Stare..." Huh?" I felt a familiar sensation on my skin as Brenda let go of me... It felt like Anna was right next to me? Wait!? My towel fell off of me! And I'm not covering anything with my hands!" Hm!" /SPLASH! /" What did she eat?"" Don't worry, Charlotte. He's not only attracted to big ones! Sarah and Anna are both on the normal side! She's just a monster!"" I am not a monster! I'm perfectly normal! Sarah and Anna are on the bigger end too!""

Not as big as that... Maybe there is hope after all, Ruby?"" Why are you both pretending you're flat chested! You're both C-Cups aren't you!?"" But what cup are you?"" H-Cups! What does that have to do with anything!? Don't look at me like that!" All of the women in the bath looked at me with anger, jealousy or a combination of both, the only one who was normal was Ms. Deborah. I looked at her for help, and she only smiled at me before speaking."

Well, perhaps you could use them to seduce Lord Matthew when you have the chance?"

"!" I ran out of the hot springs as fast as possible. The pressure became too unbearable. The fact that I gave serious thought to a strategy to use my...

"Amazing weapons", but I still think it's too embarrassing to do... But how would his face look if I did? These thoughts swirled around in my mind as I tried to fall asleep that night. Before finally shutting my eyes, I couldn't help but wonder when he would come home to Paradise so we could see him again.
