Chapter 359:

Molly’s expression registered shock at my words.

“How could that be, Lily? If being the princes’ sex slave is so bad, why do so many people flock to it?”

Molly shook her head in confusion. “Besides, the position comes with significant benefits that could transform someone’s life.”

As Molly highlighted the advantages and prestige associated with being a sex slave, my envy toward Makenna deepened. Makenna insisted she was looking out for me, but I suspected she was simply afraid I would outshine her.

In the end, Molly held my hand. Her eyes were filled with sincerity as she said, “Lily, if I were in her shoes, I’d help a kind and beautiful soul like you become the princes’ sex slave, to relish riches and honor, rather than remain a maid.”

Her words sowed a seed of resentment within me, which slowly took root. I began to doubt Makenna’s intentions more with each passing moment and was convinced that she had never seen me as a true friend.

After parting with Molly, I wobbled back to Makenna’s residence. Everything was a blur. It was as if I were floating between dreams and reality, my thoughts swirling in confusion.

Standing at the entrance, I peered through the slightly open door to see a scene of laughter and merriment inside. A chill ran through me, and my heart filled with raw emotion. I couldn’t stand it! Had Makenna not come in my way, it should have been me by Prince Dominic’s side.

As I stood there lost in thought, the door abruptly swung open, and a tall, imposing figure stepped out. It was Prince Dominic!

Startled, I quickly composed myself. I blushed as I lowered my head to greet him. “Y-Your Highness, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Dominic arched an eyebrow, casting a brief, detached look my way. “You’re Lily, Makenna’s maid, aren’t you?”

Hearing him say my name sent a thrill through me! He could actually remember my name. I nodded vigorously, feeling a bloom of joy in my heart.

Dominic gave a slight nod. “Look after Makenna well. She’s pregnant and needs extra care. Keep a close watch on her health.”

With those words, he turned and strode away with a cold demeanor.

I remained rooted to the spot, my mind buzzing as I watched him walk away. In that moment, a fierce resolve awakened within me, like a dormant volcano coming to life. I wanted to be a sex slave! I wanted to be Prince Dominic’s woman! I wanted him to care for me just as deeply as that!

As soon as Dominic and Bryan left for their respective official duties, Lily stepped inside, her face a mixture of distress and determination. She seemed as though she had been wrestling with some difficult decision.

Noticing her unease, I furrowed my brow in concern. “Lily, where have you been? You look awful. Did something happen?” Her gaze seemed distant, and she responded with a dismissive tone. “Oh, I just went for a walk.”

My concern deepened. The palace, with its tangled web of politics and hidden dangers, was no place for aimless wandering. If Lily had encountered someone she shouldn’t have or wandered into a restricted area, how could I ensure her safety? I felt compelled to remind her, “Lily, this palace isn’t a place where you can just roam around. Stay away from unfamiliar areas to avoid any danger.”

“I know,” Lily replied, her eyes flashing with irritation, but it faded as quickly as it came.

I was taken aback by her response, unsure if I had misinterpreted her feelings.

Had I seen it wrong? I was puzzled.

Without offering more, Lily hurried into the kitchen, announcing, “I’ll go make dinner.”
