The Alpha Prince's Purchased Maid
Chapter 170: Welcome Back

Chapter 170: Welcome Back

Suddenly, I felt restless and decided to climb out of the bathtub and get dressed. The sun had long set by that time, and it was already dark outside. Just when I got changed into a soft silk night gown, there was a disturbing knock at my bedroom door.

Prince Leonard...

It can’t be him. I sighed when I realized that it couldn’t possibly be the prince as I cursed myself silently for how disappointed I felt.

“Yes?” I called out to the one knocking on my door.

“It’s me,” a familiar voice said from the other side of the door.

“Hi...” I said softly as I opened the door.

Madame Sand stood in front of my door with an unreadable expression on her face. She was dressed in her usual uniform. Her eyes glanced past me into my room, and I immediately stepped aside to let her in before closing the door behind us. The atmosphere suddenly felt tense and that was probably because I realized that she was here to gather details for her report.

“Take a seat,” she said as she gestured to the sofa.

Although it was supposed to be my room, she was the one inviting me to take a seat. I smiled a little at her as I sat down on the sofa. Surprisingly, she remained standing to the side of the sofa with her eyes on me. The distance between us made me feel uncomfortable.

“Welcome back, Mila,” she said before she smiled at me.

“Thank you...” I mumbled.

“Just like I told you before, I am responsible for filing a report every time an honorable maiden spends the night with one of the princes,” she explained emotionlessly.

“Yes, I am aware,” I said.

“Good. Then, we should just get to it. Where did you go last night?” she asked.

“I spent the night with Prince Leonard in his room,” I replied while trying to keep my voice steady.

Thankfully, Prince Leonard had instructed me on what to say so I didn’t have a hard time coming up with a cover up story for our escape beyond the palace walls.

“I see. Did you sleep with the prince?” she asked as her eyes narrowed at me.

“For other details, I would...umm...appreciate it if you could ask Prince Leonard himself,” I replied just as the prince had instructed me to.

Madame Sand’s eyes widened at me and my unexpected response. I bet none of the other women under her care had ever given her a response like that before. I pursed my lips tightly shut to prevent myself from saying anything unnecessary. This was what Prince Leonard told me to do and I had made up my mind to follow his instructions strictly.

“I see. Well then, details aside. Let me get straight to the point. Mila, did you manage to take in the prince’s seed?” she asked as her eyes narrowed at me again.

“Umm...” I murmured.

This probably counts as asking for more details, right?

“Did he ejaculate into you? Yes, or no?” she demanded in a louder voice that made my body tremble slightly.

Her brows were now furrowed, and her gaze became even more piercing. I sighed loudly as I thought that someone was obviously taking her job too seriously.

“It’s just like I told you before, if you would like to know any more details, you’ll have to ask the prince himself. I’m sorry but I can’t answer any of your questions,” I said apologetically.

Madame Sand glared at me for a moment before she tore her gaze away from me and turned away. A lump formed in my throat, and I started to feel bad for speaking to her that way. She was just doing her job and I understood that she didn’t harbor any ill wishes.

“Make sure that you get a lot of rest,” she said with clear resignation.

“Thank you...” I thanked her again.

I was comforted by the fact that she had decided to drop the matter and stop pressing me to tell her anything more about my night with the prince. The fact that we seemed to have broken many rules was probably why the prince was so adamant about me keeping silent. A soft smile touched my lips at the thought that he was probably worried about me.

“Callum will be talking to the prince regarding this matter. I take it that the prince probably ordered you to keep quiet about this and I have decided to obey his wishes,” she said sternly.

I was amazed at how spot on she was with her guess. Thankfully, it seemed like she wouldn’t hold his against me. I nodded my head a little to tell her that I understood.

“What should I do from now on?” I asked abruptly just when Madame Sand turned to leave.

I’m not longer a maid and I didn’t know how to spend my days. If I asked to clean, I would probably be yelled at because honorable maidens were not supposed to clean or do any type of labor work. However, I didn’t want to spend my days just idling sitting by.

“Just rest for now. You look like you’re ready to collapse at any moment. If you get sick, the prince will undoubtedly blame me, and I can’t have that. When you’re decently rested, we can discuss the start of your classes,” she told me with a pointed look.

“Classes?” I said with some surprise and excitement.

“Yes, as I told you before, there are many things that you still need to learn,” she replied flatly.

“I understand. Thank you...” I murmured as I recalled her words from before.

Both Prince Darius and Prince Leonard did mention that there were many things that I had to study and learn.

“Just focus on resting up for now,” Madame Sand said.

This time I didn’t stop her when she headed for the door to my room. Instead, I bowed a little to her as I watched her left.

“Thank you...” I whispered.

If she heard me, she didn’t bother to turn around to acknowledge my thanks.
