Chapter 429 Social Death
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Although this was supposedly a luxury shop, there wasn't really much space left over in the changing room with two people already inside, making the saleslady feel even more shy whenever her fingers 'inadvertently' brushed against the beautiful crimson-haired girl's skin.
Although she would never deny that the girl's skin was tantalizingly soft and smooth, it definitely, definitely wasn't intentional. Purely an accident. Unavoidable, really, since she was so 'nervous' and 'embarrassed'.
Since Emilia had things to do and places to be, however, she naturally didn't care about these little things too much, and even motioned for the saleslady to help her with the dress.
No matter how 'embarrassed' she was, the saleslady felt that it was her responsibility to help the girl out, and quickly helped her as best as she could.
Unfortunately, the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity passed faster than she expected, and she was left staring in regret at the back zipper that she had just pulled up, completely unaware that Emilia could see her expression clearly in the mirror.
Of course, aside from being momentarily amused, Emilia wasn't really bothered, and quickly pulled the dazed lady out of the changing room in 'excitement'.
"I love this one! Do you have any more just like it?!"
Naturally, this was the 'trigger', and the six maids who had already been prepared quickly burst into action, surrounding the two of them instantly.
The surveillance clearly captured the shocked expression of the two girls as their faces were covered with a white cloth, and the two of them 'fainted' within moments.
To make sure nothing went wrong, Emilia had already handed the maids some real chloroform instead of having them just act, and didn't warn the saleslady either.
After all, she could trust that her acting would be at least somewhat real, avoiding suspicion.
Fortunately, there were no other customers in the store at the moment, and the staff was also absent except for this one lady, preventing any possibility of panic or alarm that would alert the security outside too fast.
The six maids stared at each other in excitement. "Let's proceed according to plan."
"I've always loved spy movies, ahh! Who knew one day I would get to actually be a 'heroine' in a real-life scene like this?!"
"I know, right?! I feel like a special agent!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHigh on energy, two of them quickly went ahead to scout ahead on their escape route through the emergency exit at the back of the store, while one stayed further back to intercept and distract anyone from behind.
Two of them supported the saleslady from each side and lifted her up till her feet weren't touching the ground, while the strongest of them picked Emilia up in a bridal carry, and the team moved swiftly as a single unit.
Of course, although the chloroform was real, Emilia was only pretending to have fainted. With the way her body worked, not to mention this little bit of vapor, even if she were to chug the thing like water, it wouldn't really any effect aside from momentarily numbing her tongue.
Cynthia hummed. "Are you too lazy to walk?"
'Hey, I'm just putting a show for the cameras, you know?'
Emilia couldn't deny that the maid's embrace was actually quite comfortable, though.
The raven-haired girl just rolled her eyes as she watched her partner continue pretending as the team reached the building's back exit, where they knew two people were guarding outside.
With the rest of the team staying further back to stay out of their sight, the maids at the front took out the tasers from their aprons before they pretended to approach the door while chatting loudly.
"Why do we have to go fetch these things from the back exit, ahh?!"
"I don't get why 'it wouldn't look good' either. These people are just strange."
"In such hot weather, too!"
"Well, we're just servants, what can we do?"
They opened the door with a sigh, and the two security guards only momentarily turned their eyes before recognizing them as their own villa's maids, and then they turned back to ignore their existence.
Unfortunately, this negligence was bound to cost them their job, because the moment the two maids were about to pass them by, the men in black were 'shocked' to realize that they had been fooled, but it was already too late.
The two maids were merciless, as they didn't dare to take the risk, and made absolutely sure that the convulsing guards had completely lost consciousness before they withdrew and dragged them back inside the gates.
"Okay, let's tie them up here and we can leave."
Emilia also relaxed a little in her heart when she felt that the maids were able to take care of their first major hurdle.
After taking care of the two fainted men, the team quickly and swiftly made their way out into the back alley and sifted through various unmonitored areas before stopping in front of an abandoned building.historical
Having already made sure that no one was following them, the maids still checked once more before quickly entering the building.
The rusted metal door had an internal lock that could be opened from either side, and the maids quickly locked it back up.
As soon as she heard the 'click', Emilia sprang back to life, shocking the maid who had been diligently making sure she didn't bump her head anywhere.
"P-Princess, you almost scared me to death! What if I dropped you?!"
Emilia giggled as she pecked the maid on the cheek. "It would be my fault then, don't worry. I just don't want everyone to wait for me too long at the base, you know?"
Lost in the feeling of the gorgeous girl's soft lips on her cheek, how could the little maid have the time to do such boring things as listening to words?
Fortunately, Emilia didn't really care about her response, and instead had the two maids who were carrying the saleslady place the girl on her back.
Naturally, they didn't do so without a fight, but Emilia was luckily able to convince them using her performance on TV as proof of her strength.
"Trust me, if she wasn't unconscious and could cling to me on her own, I would definitely be able to carry one of you in my arms at the same time!"
The maids naturally didn't believe in her exaggeration this time, but they still couldn't bring themselves to burst this gorgeous girl's pride when she was bragging so cutely.
They could only follow her helplessly, ready to throw themselves down on the ground as cushioning if she really fell.
Emilia quickly led them to the basement of the abandoned building, where the 'exit' that had already been prepared was hidden beneath a heavy carpet.
"Just shift it back a little, there's a rope we can pull from the other side to shift it back into place once we're done."
The maids did as they were told, and the team quickly made their way down the stairs that had been revealed after opening the hidden door on the floor.
Emilia had them quickly close the door once their pencil flashlights were lit, and a brown rope that seemed to go right through the floor quickly revealed itself.
The crimson-haired girl nodded at the strongest maid with a smile. "Pull it gently and slowly till it's almost touching the ground, okay?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter doing as they were told, they couldn't deny that the feeling of slight anxiety that had been following them for a while somewhat faded away.
Unless the enemy had some amazing luck, it was almost impossible for them to find this place, right?
Although thinking of the effort put into all of this, they felt that it was a little too much, considering the usual level of officials in their country.
It was unlikely that they would ever be able to find this building, let alone the hidden basement. As for the tunnel inside? Almost impossible.
Naturally, they had no idea that Emilia planned to have this tunnel refilled and completely 'fixed' before the day was over, or that there were already multiple diversions set on various different areas to pull the target of the officials away from this location.
If they did, perhaps they might really feel like bowing down to the crimson-haired beauty in awe. As it was, though, they were too busy trying to keep up with the girl's swift pace through the somewhat uneven tunnel.
"B-Be careful not to fall down!"
"Princess! Please let me go ahead to shine the light at least?!"
Of course, the girl in front of them only giggled. "Don't worry, I won't! You girls don't rush, though, I can't guarantee I'll kiss it better if you stumble and bruise your knee~"
Exasperated, the maids could only try their best to keep up with their willful 'boss'.
It wasn't long before they saw the light at the end of the tunnel, with a clean metal door that had been kept open. On the other side, there were already a few people looking at them with welcoming smiles.
Breathing a sigh of relief, the maids finally slowed down as Emilia went ahead to chat with the people welcoming her, and their thoughts caught up with their feet.
"Wait a minute… did the princess say she 'wouldn't necessarily' kiss it better if we got hurt back there?!"
"Doesn't that mean she MIGHT do it? Why didn't we try?!"
Filled with regret, they couldn't help but wonder if it was too late to pretend to fall down on the spot.
Unfortunately, their voices were a bit too loud, and the 'welcoming party' was already giving them weird looks.
"…"
