46 – Plan – 8
“......Empty seat, you mean?”
“That’s right. Is there anything left?”
Beatrice paused for a while before answering.
“There is no problem as you can fill in the empty space, but may I ask why you asked such a question?”

“It’s nothing special. I just found a new maid candidate, and if it’s okay, I’d like to ask you, Beatrice, to give me some training.”
I thought about Nika’s treatment for a while, and it seemed like this was the right decision. If you’re a maid from a noble family, it’s a job that only those with a guaranteed status can do, so there’s almost no chance of your origin being questioned.
Especially if it is my recommendation.
Above all, from the students’ point of view, it was difficult to keep Nika at the academy because she was like a rolling stone.
Someone you haven’t heard of in the past month turns up and takes a class with you as a first year student? And a woman with looks like Nika that you can’t help but notice? She’s probably enough to arouse suspicion.
I also thought about the scenario of a student who passed the entrance exam but was unable to attend school due to personal reasons or illness, but it would be difficult because the list of new students had already been submitted to the emperor.
Besides, if she’s at the academy, her chances of running into Roxanne and I will be greatly increased. Due to her nature, it was obvious that she would not be able to breathe properly if she encountered Roxanna. If she does this too carefully, her true identity may be revealed.
Because of this, I thought it would be better to send her to her parents’ house and trick her like a maid.
“......Master.”
“Why?”
For some reason, Beatrice’s voice was unusual. I felt much more depressed and frozen than usual.
“When I asked you to follow me to the Academy and help you, didn’t you refuse, saying you could do it on your own? But why are you choosing a maid to keep by your side now? That Beatrice will always be there for you, Master. Have you truly forgotten that we are ready to serve you?”
“......”
I found out the cause of that cold voice.
I never said a word that I would have Nica by her side, but I thought it might have sounded that way to Beatrice. I attempted to explain before misunderstandings piled up further.
“It’s not like that, Beatrice. Not with the maid next to me, but from my home-“
“But I am your maid, and I will gladly follow your wishes.”
A voice as cold as frost cut me off. It doesn’t really happen unless it’s something serious, but it seemed like the shock was quite big.
“Let’s prepare in advance for a new maid. Beatrice, I will do my best to test the skills of the maid who was selected ‘directly’ by the Master. Don’t worry if she doesn’t meet the standards. Please don’t do that. I will do my best to educate you so that you will not be embarrassed by your position as a maid of the Crait family and by your side, Master.”
“Wait a minute, that’s not it- Beatrice? Beatrice?”
Suddenly, communication was cut off. Cutting off communication before me, this is something I wouldn’t do unless I was quite upset. It seemed like I had hit the nail on the head.
“...Did you fail? They said they couldn’t let you in as a maid?”
Nika asked from next to me with a nervous expression. Her body was covered in clothes that were better than what she was originally wearing, but were still little more than underwear.
I’m not really going to wear those clothes from now on, but it’s a temporary outfit I’m wearing because I need to expose my skin to mark my obedience.
There were a total of three obedience marks engraved on Nika’s body. Tongue, upper sternum, and finally lower abdomen. Each was an imprint designed to cause pain to the brain, heart, and uterus.
I thought that for that purpose, just the tongue would be enough, but the chairman told me not to let down my guard because even if he looked pitiful, he was strictly a demon. Because it was true, I reflected lightly in my heart.
I heard that that place is much more effective against a succubus than the head or heart, so I decided to leave it like that. Nika seemed to accept it calmly, as if she was aware of her situation.
“No. I decided to make room for you.”
Beatrice looked at her Nica with cold eyes. She Nika shivered. Beatrice ran her nika up and down her body and gave it a flick.
“You have an extremely lewd body. Could it be that you used that to seduce the master? I’ll tell you in advance, if you have any rosy illusions about the relationship between a maid and the master she is supposed to serve, it would be better to break it immediately.”
“Oh, no! Something like that!”
“Did you say ‘eyo’ just now? Where did you make such an absurd statement?”
“Wait a minute. Beatrice. I have to speak first.”
When I stopped Beatrice, she stopped with a very distressed expression. He barely suppressed the laughter that threatened to escape. It had been a long time since Beatrice expressed her anger so openly.
“I understand what the misunderstanding is, but it’s not for the reason you think.”
“Yes?”
“Before that, Beatrice, are you on my side?”
“Of course. If I am not on your side, who will stand by your side?”
“No matter what happens?”
“Yes. Even if you betray the empire, I-“
“That’s all. Since I know your feelings. Then, you can keep any secret, right?”
“Of course it will.”
“From now on, everything I tell you must be kept secret, even from my parents. Understood?”
Beatrice nodded with a serious expression. I looked back at Nika and said.
“You can reveal it.”
Nika then revealed the magic-hidden tail of the devil. When Beatrice saw them, confusion and bewilderment spread across her face.
I immediately explained about Nikah. Beatrice had a serious expression when explaining what happened at the academy, and she was shocked when she explained Nica’s identity.
And when he mentioned that he had tattoos symbolizing obedience magic engraved on his tongue, cleavage, and lower abdomen, he made a strange expression.
“.......Can you tell me such big secrets, master?”
“You told me. You’re on my side. I believe that, and I’m telling you because I trust you. I’m telling you because it’s you, Beatrice. I’m planning to hide this matter even from my parents.”
“You told me because it was me, la...”
Beatrice, who had been mulling over my words blankly, nodded with a determined expression.
“I understand, Master. Beatrice, I will keep your secret even if it costs me death.”
“No, don’t die... So, can I ask you a favor? Even though she is a succubus, she will never harm us thanks to her obedience magic, so don’t worry.”
Beatrice looked at Nica. Her eyes had become much softer than before. Then, she crossed her legs slightly, gently lifted the hem of her skirt, and bowed politely and gracefully.
“I will gladly follow you, my master.”
“Okay. Nika?”
“Yes, yes! I’ll be nice to you from now on – yay?!”
Slap, Beatrice hit Nica in the mouth with the stick she had pulled out before she knew it. Nica was left in tears as she was hit on the mouth out of nowhere.
Beatrice said with a grin.
“When did I tell you to use such undignified language?”
Nika’s hardships seemed to remain the same.
