Naclis knew she was currently in her Reflection identity, and she didn’t have the ability to sneak into the shadows, so it wasn’t convenient for her to go up with Loren right now. She could only watch as they walked farther and farther away.
And she couldn’t confess either, because confessing would be a truly mortifying social death.
In the end, Loren and Reflection Naclis made their way up, leaving Naclis alone in the dungeon.
At that moment, she somewhat understood how Reflection Naclis felt. She had followed her for so long but never showed herself in front of anyone else.
It was only recently that she’d finally had a chance to communicate with Loren.
After this ordeal, Naclis felt like she and her Reflection understood each other a little better. She had experienced what her Reflection felt and discovered they shared the same interests.
Naclis covered her backside. Since Loren had used the Healing Potion on her, she felt no pain now, but the sensation from before still left a tingling itch in her heart.
At the same time, she was thinking about how to sneak back to her bedroom and change her pants. She wasn’t entirely sure how her pants had gotten wet. In her memory, she had never wet herself—that was the kind of embarrassing thing Scarlett would do.
…
But for now, she needed to maintain her persona. She was the original body now, not a Reflection, so even though she was ecstatic inside, she had to keep a blank expression on the surface.
At the same time, Loren was thinking. He felt it was time to find a way to let Reflection Naclis sit at the table too.
Before this, she had been hidden simply because Loren hadn’t realized she was an independent person. He had previously treated her as just part of Naclis’s Arcane Ability.
Now that Loren understood her, it was time to give her an identity.
Outsiders weren’t a problem. No one would dare barge into Loren’s House anyway. If someone knocked, Reflection Naclis could hide at that moment.
Loren’s only worry was someone suddenly breaking into his home. But if someone really did that, they likely wouldn’t have the chance to tip anyone off.
The remaining concern was the Maids in the house. They had no family, were alone, and had no social ties. It wouldn’t be strange to say they were all Loren’s possessions now.
This was already the rule of this world. For Maids bound to their master like them, they were by default their master’s property. Even if the master killed them, as long as it wasn’t weighed publicly, no one would care.
Still, Loren planned to add an extra layer of insurance.
Dinner time passed warmly and ordinarily. After the meal, Loren called out to the Maids who were cleaning up and had them follow him back to his room.
“Huh…”
Hearing this, Corolla was the most panicked. She hesitated for a long time before finally mustering the courage to come to Loren’s side:
“Master… could we possibly take turns coming one by one…? I… I… I have no experience… If my first time is with so many people together… I’d be a little embarrassed…”
“What are you thinking?”
Loren knocked on her head, his expression somewhat unpleasant.
Corolla was still quite reliable, but she was too prone to overthinking. That little flaw was something Loren could accept.
Hearing that Loren had no other intentions, Corolla didn’t breathe a sigh of relief—instead, she felt a bit disappointed.
Originally, she was fairly confident in her appearance, but since becoming Loren’s Maid, she had gradually developed appearance anxiety.
It couldn’t be helped. The people around her were all too beautiful, especially Seraphina, and she had the most contact with Seraphina.
After the small interruption, everyone arrived in Loren’s Bedroom.
Before they could prepare themselves, Loren commanded:
“Close your eyes.”
“Oh.”
Flossie responded and promptly began taking off her clothes.
“No need to take off your clothes.”
“Alright.”
Flossie also showed a disappointed expression, but they never opened their eyes from start to finish. They were very obedient to Loren’s commands.
Then Loren drew Requiem and slashed it at their necks.
The blade landed heavily on Seraphina and Flossie’s necks, and they remained completely unaware.
But just before the blade landed on Corolla’s neck, she made an instinctive dodging motion. However, she clearly didn’t avoid it, and the blade ultimately landed on her neck.
Loren was a bit surprised by this. To him, Corolla seemed the most ordinary, but she was the only one who reacted to danger.
Her Intuition wasn’t low—at least enough to give her a warning about danger.
But that was exactly why Loren thought she was ordinary. At this moment, sweat had soaked Corolla’s hair. Out of fear, her body trembled, but she still didn’t dare open her eyes.
She had absolutely no control over her reactions. If someone were truly strong, even if their Intuition gave them a warning, they could still suppress the instinct to dodge.
Corolla behaved like an ordinary person with slightly stronger Intuition.
“Corolla is also quite talented. She can be trained.”
After muttering this to himself, Loren finally told them to open their eyes.
“What… just happened?”
After opening her eyes, Corolla felt a lingering sense of terror. She looked around the room but didn’t find anything dangerous.
Finally, she looked at Loren and calmed down. Even if there were any danger, Loren would protect her.
“I’m going to tell you some secrets, so just now I placed a curse on you. If you dare betray me, you will die instantly.”
“Huh?”
Hearing this news, Corolla was a bit shocked, but soon she accepted it.
Curse or not, she would never betray Loren anyway. The curse had no chance of being triggered.
Corolla had long planned to cling to Loren for life. She didn’t know how she’d live without him, so lately, she’d been thinking about whether she could have a child with Loren to seize an opportunity.
The wealth and status gained from attaching herself to Loren were secondary. Mainly, Corolla felt she could never like anyone else besides Loren for the rest of her life.
Of course, Corolla was also well aware that this was probably just a fantasy. If even Mirrorheart couldn’t achieve it, she likely couldn’t either.
“Come on. I’ll show you something.”
Aside from Chloe, the others weren’t particularly shocked.
Finally, Loren led them to the basement. Along the way, Corolla couldn’t help but fantasize again, especially after seeing the facilities there.
Lost in her thoughts, Corolla felt the urge to go change her underwear.
But in the next second, she cast that thought aside, because she saw something that could reshape her entire worldview—there were two Naclises in the basement.
