Lucia POV—
Nah, I took out my hand from my pants. I am not really that desperate to touch my 'new' body. Honestly, its awkward and I am not ready to face the reality. So, let's just forget it... or postpone it for the time being. Suddenly, I heard a knock at the door. Just as I was about to say something, my throat hurt badly. That bastard lied! He didn't heal me! Whatever he did was just temporary... and for the god's sake... I just want to strangle him.
Not getting any response from me, the door was opened and a maid came in. She bowed, "Your Highness, your brother... His Highness wants to meet you. Although, he said to clean yourself up before meeting him.
Are you kidding me? Aren't I supposed to be Morise's only child? That's what I thought? Did Kevin or his letter said anything about me being his only child? Hah! It doesn't matter, does it? I have an instant 'father' and an instant 'brother.'
"It's a strict order from His Highness, the crown prince... to clean you up properly before you meet him."
I nodded with a 'resigned' face. Suddenly, the maid grabbed my hand. Shocked, I pushed away and created some distance between us. "I am sorry, Your Highness. I just wanted to take off your clothes."
Her words made my face flush. For someone who had slept with countless women, this is certainly new. Perhaps it's because of my new body, I am feeling ashamed at her words. I do know that during medieval period and even in modern times, both men and women had help from their servants but that doesn't mean I need help as well. Even when I finally became rich, I never took from my servants for simple task like bathing.
I immediately shook my head, and looked at her. I waved her off. Thank you, I can bath alone. So, please don't disturb me.
Understanding my 'unspoken' words, she nodded and left the room.

I am traumatised. Never in my entire life, I have thought that would be turned on by my own body. My hair was honey blonde in colour, glossy and glowing as if the sun has blessed it with ethereal beauty. It was like I was touching cotton candy. There was no unwanted hair on my body. Even though malnourished, I looked perfectly 'okay' in the right places. Hah! I miss being a man~ I pretty sure that Kevin's boss punished me by turning me into a woman.
With a deep sigh, I turned away from the mirror and walked towards the wardrobe. When I opened it, I saw almost hundred percent of the clothes were gowns. Just as I was about to give up, I saw a pair of jeans and shirt. Without any thought, I put them on.
Bathing was really a hard task for someone who had injuries all over his... her body. The sheer nerve of 'my brothers,' to force an injured person to take bath so that she could meet them... it's fucking diabolical.
Suddenly, the door was knocked and the same maid entered again. Bowing, she greeted.
"I have a message for you, Your Highness. His Highness, the crown prince has said there is no need for you to visit him for now. He will call you later," said the maid.
Pissed. I am fucking pissed at this guy. What the fuck is wrong with him? First, he calls me. Second, orders me to take a bath. Third, makes me horny for myself. Fourth, causing me to fall in a sea of unwanted thoughts. And fifth, changes his mind after everything I went through in the last half an hour. Is he mad? Or, does he want to make fun of me?
When I looked at the maid, I found her sweating profusely. Ah, it seems like she knows I am pissed at the 'crown prince.' Giving her a fake smile, I waved her off. She flinched and immediately bolted out of the room.
The father and the son... both a piece of work. They are like the paintings of an artist who doesn't even know how to handle a paintbrush. As for Thomas, I am hundred percent sure something is going between him and Morise.
I sat on the bed and began reviewing everything that has happened with me.

Third POV—
Kevin knew the moment he uttered those words... it was over for him. All he can do now, was to beg his boss for mercy.
"Raise your head, Kevin," said a very inhuman voice. Just by listening to that voice would reveal a lot of things to you.
Kevin squeaked and tightly pressed his head against the ground.
"Please! Boss, I am sorry! It was just a slip of tongue! I won't do it again!" pleaded Kevin.
