Chapter 416 Little doubt
"Mistress, everything is perfectly ready," announced the Head Maid of Mariel, her voice reflecting a hint of disapproval.
"I-I see... We will be heading there shortly," Mariel replied, straightening her dress before stepping out of the room, the scent of naughty lingering behind.
"Hello, HeadMaid" Eli greeted with a wave as he followed Mariel.
"Tsk," the Head Maid clicked her tongue, her disdain palpable in her eyes as she acknowledged Eli's presence.
"Welcome... Sir," she forced out the words, her tone dripping with barely concealed animosity.

'She really can't stand me... well, can't blame her,' Eli thought to himself as he observed the middle-aged woman with red-blue hair.
"Do you have any siblings?" Eli inquired, a hint of scepticism in his voice as he considered the Head Maid's features. If she had horns, wings, and tails, she would bear a striking resemblance to Evelina, though Evelina was younger than this headmaid.
"I am the only daughter of my parents... sir," the Head Maid replied, her disdain palpable even in her curt response.
Mariel frowned, sensing the tension in the air. She knew her Head Maid harboured strong negative feelings toward Eli, yet he was her beloved. Mariel couldn't stand by and watch Eli being looked down upon, even if it was by someone close to her... How could she allow something like this?
As Mariel was about to scold the Head Maid for her attitude, an alarm interrupted the tense atmosphere.
~Ding~Ding~
"It's time!" Eli exclaimed, glancing at the alarm on his phone. Mariel nodded in agreement, signalling that it was indeed time to proceed to the underground prison.
Unlike their previous visits where everything was grimy and unkempt, this time, the prison was spotless and organized.
"I don't want my love to be tainted by these disgusting surroundings!" Mariel declared proudly, her smile conveying that she understood Eli's sentiments perfectly.
Eli returned her smile, appreciating her thoughtful gesture, though he couldn't help but let his gaze linger on her ass as she swayed seductively, her movements alluring in their own right.
"Hehe..." Mariel smiled inwardly, enjoying the attention she was getting from Eli. She enjoyed teasing him and seeing his reactions.
"Tsk," the Head Maid clicked her tongue in annoyance, her disapproval evident as she observed the playful exchange between Eli and Mariel.
The Head Maid's face turned from defiance to horror as she registered his words. Eli's statement was meant to push her into a corner, hoping she would finally drop the pretence. If she continued to deny the truth, he knew he would be left with no choice but to take a more drastic step, such as a kiss, to force her hand.
"What? Scared?" Eli asked, raising an eyebrow as he observed the Head Maid's reaction.
"Of course, I am!!" The Head Maid exclaimed, her face displaying genuine horror. She added, "You dare to kiss an old lady like me!!"
"Hmm..." Eli was slightly taken aback by her genuine expression. 'Maybe I am wrong...' he wondered but decided to push a little further.
With a sly smile, he remarked, "Well, as long as it's a lady... I don't care about their age," inwardly adding, 'I mean, I'm practically married to a 1000s of years old woman.'
Meanwhile, in a distant location,
'Achoo!' Lilith, who was engrossed in watching a nightly video, suddenly sneezed, thinking, 'Did my dear think about me~?' She chuckled to herself before continuing to view the secretly recorded video.
Back in the room,
"I-I will call the Mistress!!" The Head Maid shouted, her face flushing red with embarrassment.
"Before you do, I will seal your lips~" Eli whispered playfully, leaning closer towards her trembling lips. The Head Maid's face turned even redder as she closed her eyes and bit her trembling lips in fear.
Just as their lips were about to touch, a sudden interruption broke the tension.
~Ring~Ring~
Eli halted his movement and glanced at his phone's caller ID, which displayed 'Evelina'.
Eli then looked back at the Head Maid before answering the phone...
"Eli, Can I bring him now?" came the voice from the phone.
Eli frowned, his thoughts racing. 'Am I wrong?' he pondered before releasing the Head Maid, who immediately rushed away.
Eli stared at the door for a moment until the voice from the phone shouted impatiently, "ELI!"
Shaking himself out of his thoughts, Eli responded, "Yes, bring that Incubus."
