Act 456: The Maid-in-Charge's Strong Suspicion
update icon Updated at 2026/3/24 21:30:02

"Ah, the sky is so blue." Aya leaned on the broom, standing on the polished floor, staring at the chandelier on the ceiling and contemplating life. There must be some kind of problem, right? I, Aya, the illustrious Golden Dragon, top expert, the princess's... uh, fiancé? Anyway, even in the human world, I should still have some status, right? Why am I still cleaning here?!

"Aya, you can't see the sky here." Little Ellie, standing beside her, reminded her.

"Ah, little Ellie, you're always so cute..." Aya turned to hug the blonde twin-tailed girl, but she dodged, "Um, Aya, if you don't work properly, Mimi will come bother you again."

"Don't mention her to me!"

Just the thought of Mimi made Aya's head ache again. She never expected Mimi to wake up so quickly. Luckily, she didn't remember clearly the events from when Aya was still groggy in the morning and didn't recognize her.

But what's with being asked to clean the place? What's with the self-righteousness, saying "Although a lot has happened, don't forget you are still a Gilliast maid.” Have you ever seen a maid who is Holy Rank?

Of course, Aya didn't dare say these things in front of Mimi. While theoretically she should stand firm in front of Mimi, Aya felt guilty. Even though they had feelings for each other, why did it feel like they were having an affair? Unthinkable!

"Are you slacking off again?"

"Agh!" Aya jumped, grabbing the broom and sweeping the floor left and right. She looked back and realized Mimi had appeared in the corner of the wall behind her.

"Mimi?"

"I said, Mimi miss, can you stop sneaking up on me... my heart can't take it," Aya wiped the nonexistent sweat off her forehead.

"Just passing by and heard you have quite the opinion about cleaning." Mimi, with her arms crossed, made her ample bosom look quite impressive in her maid outfit.

Aya nodded cautiously.

"Well, I am not unreasonable."

"Because you're not even human..." Aya muttered under her breath, only to be silenced by Mimi's glare.

“Anyway, can you help with anything besides cleaning?”

“Um…”

“Repairing structures?”

“I'm quite good at dismantling things…”

“Setting defense inscriptions?”

“If humans could use the dragon language Magic system…”

Mimi sighed, with a look of “I knew it.” “Anyway, just continue, I don't want you to be idle. Just clean this area.”

"Huh?" Aya was surprised. The area Mimi referred to was just a small hall serving as a connection point between two corridors, and Ellie was helping her. If Aya was caught by Tiran just now, the area would probably have been the size of a whole floor.

Did Mimi... change her ways? Well, probably not. But why was she being asked to clean, and why did Tiran think it was her duty as a maid? It seemed like Mimi was somewhat less devilish this time.

"Cut it out. Even though you've defended the princess so many times, I won't treat you the same way as in the beginning," Mimi said, her mouth forming a sneer.

"Um, may I ask, what was the initial impression?"

"Dumb and cowardly, but relying on your face to seduce the princess." Mimi said calmly.

"...Shouldn't have asked."

"Anyway, continue. Chirp should be waking up soon, she clings to you a lot." With that, Mimi walked away towards the staircase leading to the study, disappearing around the corner. Yes, that was Mimi, stringent in her demands but entirely loyal to Tiran. Despite her harshness, once she recognized Aya's feelings for Tiran, she would approve. She was actually a gentle and tolerant person...

That was a lie.

Despite the calm facade, in reality, deep down, Mimi was extremely suspicious of what Aya might have done behind her back. There was no clear evidence, but during the boat trip back from the East Land, as a long-time attendant of Tiran, Mimi had perceived a subtle tension between Aya and Tiran.

She had to investigate what this person had done to Tiran!

Behind the corner, leaning against the wall, Mimi clenched her fists, determined.

...

After a while , Aya finally noticed there is no need to clean with cloth while using her unique ability, she could just control the water element to let it take the dust away then burn the water orb with flame.

Of course, if dragon magic has mind, it will probably doubt its life for being used on such tiny matter.

"Ok, Nailed it"

Aya retrieved her magic then turned back to look at the clean corridor and nodded in satisfaction.

But somehow she always found a gaze staring at her somewhere.

But there was nothing.

"My illusion?"

After going through a detailed check, Aya shrugged her shoulder and went to check chirp, after all, she promised to be by chirp's side.

Chirp's room is under Tiran's bedrom,the distance is quite short, and the decoration is top quaility which made Aya feel annoyed at the first time, why chirp can live like this but she has to do all the work!

.......

"Because Cuteness is Justice,"

"I am also adorable!" The little dragon girl left all her dignity behind.

But Tiran stared at Aya's face for a long while then shook her head:"Sexuality is nothing compares to Cuteness."

.....

Anyway, it is not important, and Aya won't take any of these seriously right now. Well, Tiran is mine because I could live in her room.

But Aya still was shocked when she pushed the door.

It was not because she saw anything horrible, but the scene that the pinky hair maid was sitting on the sofe holding a cup of black tea in her hand while stareing at the beast ear girl on the bed,

This is what you called a serious matter?

......

At noon

"I yield"

Aya helplessly put the chess down then bent over on the table and sighed.

"Mmm, Mom is weak" Chrip pouted as if she was a little bit unsatisfied.

Aya lost 19 games so far, though they have played weiqi for a whole morning, but none of a single game could last ten minutes, though Aya herself only knows the rule, but it is just simple bullying while playing chess with such a strong mental power!

Again, she felt being overwhelmed in intelligence, this ain't right, it is said the dragons are all ancient but witful creatures, how could she be overwhelmed!

If she was being played from the beginning when she was brought back by Tiran with her wit, but what is this about Chirp?Chrip gave her a feeling of holding massive calculation power and each of her move was predicted, so this is that pervert's treasure?

Hmph...

Aya smirked:"Hey chirp, why don't you play chess with Tiran?"

Just want to see Tiran's face full with depression.

"But dad couldn't defeat me either, we played a lot when we traveled to East , but Dad just talked about AlphaGo all the time, and not willing to play with me again..."

Chirp felt wronged when she brought this up.

"That is why that guy let you play chess with me?"Aya's eye twitched.

"Yeah..."Chirp looked at Aya blankly with lost as if she had done something wrong.

Aya could only rub Chirp's head and condemn Tiran's Immoral action, completely forgot she was trying to do so.

Gurgle~

"It is already noon"

Aya looked at the clock and looked at Chirp touching her belly.

Let's have lunch first.

Thinking of this, Aya pushed the door and walked out.

"Mimi?"

The female in maid outfit with a delicate hair was exactly Mimi claiming to have serious matter to deal with, beside her is a dining car, After opening the cabinet, many dishes on silver plates were taken out and delievered into the room where Aya played chess with Chirp.

"What? You have any objection of me being here?"

Mimi looked at Aya

"No.....I thought you have a serious matter?why you came here in person?"

"......."Mimi still didn't spoke, but her serious face made Aya close her mouth, well, it is better not to ask for my safety.

"I am just...passing by,to see Chirp, it is not for you."

Worst explanation ever! Who will believe this...well maybe the last half part.

Thinking of the weird gaze before, Aya looked at Mimi a few times.

Well....better believe for once.
