The villainess aims for a peaceful life 81 The slap doesn't need to come from me 1

Due to the unbecoming behavior of Julia in the parade, the Queen couldn't risk Julia ruining the Royal Family's reputation anymore and the training she had to do became 10 times harsher. According to my friends that work on the Palace, after being expelled and had her Queen training becoming the real deal, Julia almost never encounters Prince Albert, and even if she does, both of them quickly go apart. My friends said that since the parade both of them seemed to have fought and Albert doesn't show the same interest for her as before.

Thinking about the not so unpredictable result I shook my head.

'That he woke up not to late, it seems my ex-fiancée still has some kind of brain. But, I can't say for sure if he did... it can also be one of those typical misunderstanding in novels... if it is, I hope god help us all, as Albert's brain hole will grow even bigger'

After leaving the Queen in her room to change, I guided Julia to hers.

Looking side ways, I could see she has, at least, being working hard. With dark circles in her eyes and not so perceptible tired marks, Julia is nowhere near on how fresh she looked before. What's even worse it's the arrogant expression she has since she thought I couldn't hurt her in front of so many (and important) people. The annoying arrogant expression mismatch the fluffy and cute atmosphere that Julia is known for.

Honestly, if I could I would take a picture of her right now and show to her fans. 'I wonder if that sadistic teacher and Albert would still claim she's pure and cute after'.

With idle thought like that, we both walked in silence to her room. I'm done playing nice and she probably is afraid of saying something that would bring not only my wraith but also the Queen's.

"We are here Miss Julia. You will find the robe for changing inside the room. This two ladies will help you out if you need anything and will guide you to meet the Queen after you are done changing"

Signaling to her room, I wait beside the door for her to pass.

Just as she was about to close without even acknowledging me, Julia stopped and turned to me.

"It seems you still know how to respect the Royals". With that she turned again and entered the room.

I only chuckled at the little squirrel fierce attitude. As a proud predator, looking at the false hope in my prey's eyes gives me an unprecedented thrill.

I can't wait to see the Julia's face when I give her my little present.

A few people know this, but a massage poorly done can make someone's muscles be pained for days. What's more (fortunate) is that this kind of injury doesn't leave marks.

Because if I make the squirrel my punch bag it will leave to many evidences and I don't have a probable cause to hit her (besides my utter disgust for her that is), this method is the best I could come up with in this short time.

This way (hopefully) not the prince or the mad dog could complain or accuse me of anything. Having only her complaining of the services after everything of the past few months, will only seem that she is trying to accuse me without proper ground.

The pain and despair (for not being believed at) that Julia will go through make my walk lighter.

'Urgh. Since when do I enjoy torturing people so much? Have I started to have similarities to Junior Demon?'

Shaking my head to put away such scary thoughts, I walked to the other noblewomen that came today.

Because the women will be waking in robes, today it's the women's opening, while two days from now I will have the noblemen coming to try our services.

At first both would be coming today, but in the trial-service with my parents, Dad forbidden Mother of coming here if I didn't separate the women's and men's part.

When building the onsen-spa I completely forgot that different from my first life, people are not so open here with their intimacy.

So after making a few adjustments to the layout, the onset opened being gender separated.

Going through a few formalities, a desperate scream was heard by everyone one inside the establishment.

I could few my face muscles twitching while I fought the smile that was trying to form.

Assuring everyone I would investigate what happened and give them an explanation I went to the massage room where the Queen and Julia were.

Getting close to the room I could hear the arguing.

"Stop this! I said STOP! Didn't you hear?! I'm this Country Crown Princess! You a mere peasant dare to defy me?"

"Julia calm down!"

"Mother! This peasant hurt me! She needs to pay for it!"

"Okay. Can you first calm down? Let me see where you are hurt"

"No! She needs to apologize first!"

"Miss you were told in the begging this treatment may hurt, since it depends on the degree of you muscle tension due to stress and exhaustion. I assure you that this pain is normal. If I don't complete the massage, you will end up with more pain"

"Who believes you! I'm sure this a plot planned by Cecile to hurt me! That b*tch, she dares! Not only she was responsible for Mayne's d-

'PAH'

As I opened the door, I saw a see a scene that almost made me clap.
