---- She entered with two servants who would fill the bathtub.


    Fill the small wooden one and pour ice into the waterI dont want it warm, I instructed, and they bowed.


    I caught a flicker of surprise in their eyes.


    I didnt care.


    Just thinking of anything warm made me feel suffocated.


    The door stayed open for a moment, and I nced sideways at the stairnding through the mirrors reflection.


    It was odd that he wasnt there, waiting.


    My mind immediately sought him out, my magic ring, but I reined it in tightly.


    I had enough on my te controlling Electra and her lust.


    Come brush my hair, I called to the girl standing in the corner, sneaking furtive nces at me while she waited.


    I watched as she hurried over, picked up the brush from the dresser, and gently began running it through my hair.


    It was actually rxing.


    I pretended to close my eyes, leaning back in the cushioned chair as she caressed my scalp while brushing over and over.


    T seemed half-asleep, my guard down, but in reality, I was exploring her, feeling her probe.


    ---- Just as I suspected, Morgana had ced something inside her to spy on me.


    Taking advantage of my apparent carelessness, that spell was trying to dig into Electras consciousness.


    That''s enough, I stopped her, and she quickly withdrew her hands from my head and nodded.


    Was Morgana starting to suspect something was wrong with Electra? Mydy, the bath is ready, the servants informed me, and I dismissed them, leaving only the ve behind.


    Pl help you, mydy, she said, and before I could give my consent, her hands reached for my nightgown, gently sliding down the loose sleeves.


    When her fingers brushed over my exposed breasts, she tried to caress me.


    No, I snapped, stepping back and grabbing the fabric to keep it from falling to the floor.


    I didnt want to be naked in front of her.


    Please, forgive this ve, mydy.


    Im sorry, Im so sorry...


    she threw herself to the floor, kneeling with her head bowed.


    I thought through my options and how! could use this ve to deceive Morgana.


    You dont always have to be so nervous, I said, lowering my hand to gently lift her chin.


    Her expressive eyes immediately looked up at me, expectant.


    J...


    Lean serve you well, mydy.


    Please, dont sell meI can do it ---- right...


    Of course you will, I smiled with hidden intentions, just like Electra would, despite the nausea twisting in my stomach.


    Tonight, I''ll request your services.


    Be ready.


    Yes, yes, mydy, she nodded, even seeming excited and nervous.


    Her mouth moved to kiss my hand, but I pulled it away immediately.


    Now get up and aska servant to bring me another tub of ice.


    Go, T ordered coldly, and I watched her hurry out, grabbing the hem of her skirt and running out of the room.


    Pfft, if that idiot Morgana wanted to check if I was still her disgusting, lustful sister, then I''d show her exactly what she wanted to see.


    If she was a powerful witch capable of manipting peoples minds, then I was even more powerful.
