Ray woke up the next day with Elsa lying with him on his bed.

Of course, no sex happened last night, and at most, they only stopped at some deep kissing.

But Ray was still pretty satisfied with this result.

.

[ Arnia Max]

[ Affection: 80, I will give my everything to you.]

[ Affection(Homeworld husband): 40, there is not much interaction recently (locked)]

[ Description: The mother of capture target George Max. Currently, have her memory locked and is in love with you.]

.

Looking at her information, Ray knew that there still would be a conflict when her memory was fully opened, so he chose to let her be this way for a while, as Ray still needed her help to get Mira's heart.

During Ray's time in the castle, he had tried to meet Mira a few times, but almost every time he tried to meet Mira, he was constantly interrupted by Elsa. And after some consideration, Ray decided to get Mira's heart secretly.

It's time to play secret lovers, he thought. And for that, a wholly controlled Arnia was necessary.

Ray then waited for Arnia to wake up, and luckily, it seemed Elsa had something to do this morning. Thus she won't come there and make some ruckus.

Soon, the sleeping beauty beside Ray woke up and looking at where she was right now. The memory of last night's event immediately came back to her, and she became flustered.

" Prince, I...."

*Smooch*

" Shoosh, from now on, you are this prince woman. And there would be no one to disturb you anymore." Just with one kiss, Ray was able to erase Arnia's worries and love for her husband, and now all her heart was already devoted to Ray.

" Yes, my prince. If so, please let me go for a while. I will quickly take a bath and returned to serve you."

" Sure, enjoy your time. But remember, from now on, you are this prince woman."

A few days passed after Arnia became Ray's woman, and during these few days, Arnia had fully broken her contact with both her husband and George, fully dedicating her heart to Ray.

And strangely, somehow, Ray didn't meet with Elsa that much.

Other than in the morning where Ray woke up Elsa, and in the dinner where they would gather and eat together with Anna, Ray didn't get that much into contact with Elsa.

At first, he was a bit concerned about this, but after making sure that she was only busy because of the tutor things, Ray relived the burden in his heart.

' Now was not the time to think about that. Ket's just quickly get Mira's heart too.' Ray thought.

For Mira's case, Ray has deployed a particular strategy. Meeting directly would be no go because Elsa would surely interfere. Thus Ray had been making move behind the scene via Arnia's aid.

Ray told Arnia that he was concerned about his other maid, Mira, who he wasn't able to meet this whole time, and asked Arnia to send her a gift and letter.

The days passed, and Ray and Mira were getting more frequent at exchanging letters at each other. The formalities between the two of them have gone, and their relationship was more like pen pals.

Now, it has been a week since Ray first sent a letter to Mira, and Ray decided to up his game for a bit.

He called Arnia and told her to give Mira a special gift which he had prepared specially. Well, Arnia was a bit jealous at first, but after a few kisses and spoiling, she was glad to be Ray's errand girl and give the present to Mira.

*********

- Mira's POV -

"It has been a week since me, and the prince starts exchanging letters with each other. At first, I thought it was just a formality as I am his maid, but after a few letters, somehow, my heart now expecting more.

It was all started from a simple " How are you?" and " Please keep your body healthy." But for me, those two simple sentences were like my gateway to the new world.

Soon the simple exchange of formalities and greetings changes into an everyday story, and sometimes he even sends me a gift that makes me really happy.

*Sigh* A prince and a maid, will it really work....

No, no, no, Mira. You are just her maid, and you should not expect something more from him.. except...

Kyaaaaa. Mira, what are you thinking!"

- POV end-

Just when Mira was still deep in her imagination, the door into her room was suddenly opened, and she was a bit startled.

" Mira, are you there?"

Fiuh, it was only Arnia. Mira sighed some relief and looking at Arnia, somehow she felt her face getting hotter.

Arnia coming to her place means that the prince has tasked Arnia to give her something, either a gift or letter, making her expectant.

" Big sis Arnia, what do you have for me today?" Mira quickly approached Arnia like a dog welcoming her owner.

" Hehe, this time, the prince has another gift for you. And from the outside looks, it might be a little bit special."

Arnia placed the present from Ray in Mira's room and quickly left. She knew that Mira might have some feelings for the prince, but it was not her right to intervene.

Even though Ray had said that she was his woman, she knew deep down that she was still Ray's maid, and it was pretty normal for someone like Ray to have several concubines.

After Arnia left, Mira, who was alone in the room, screamed with ecstasy at Ray's gift. Her expression currently was like a girl in love, and she couldn't help but get curious about Ray's present.

She moved quickly and opened Ray's gift, and when it was finally unveiled, Mira was pretty surprised.

" This..."

Ray's gift for Mira was the special cosmetic he also had given to Arnia, but now, it was wrapped in a beautiful glass bottle, making it look exquisite.
