?Chapter 358:


    Molly led me through the garden, where the air was thick with the fragrance of flowers that seemed to dance vibrantly under the sunshine.


    As we walked along the paths, Molly’s voice came softly. “Lily, how long have you been at the pce? Are you finding your way around alright?”


    Her genuine concern touched me, prompting me to open up about my experiences and feelings. “I haven’t been here long. I’m still trying to find my footing,” I muttered, dropping my gaze to the ground.


    All of a sudden, Molly stopped and reached out to gently hold my hand. Her bright eyes seemed to pierce deep into me as she looked at me with admiration. “Lily, do you know? I find you incredibly beautiful, far more so than the other sex ves of the princes.”


    Her words made me blush. I bashfully lowered my head further as a wave of happiness swept through me.


    Molly let out a sigh. “If you ever be a sex ve, I bet the princes would favor you the most. Particrly Prince Dominic. I’ve heard he has a soft spot for women with a distinct charm like yours.”


    Really? Prince Dominic liked women like me? I couldn’t believe it, but a flutter of excitement stirred within me.


    Noticing my shocked look, Molly nodded emphatically. “Don’t doubt yourself, Lily. From what I’ve seen, Prince Dominic tends to favor women like you.”


    Lily’s POV:


    Molly’s words kept echoing in my mind, sending waves of shyness through me as I fiddled with the edge of my dress.


    Molly moved closer, took my hand, and said sincerely, “Lily, did you know? That day we had dinner with the three princes, Prince Dominic couldn’t take his eyes off you.”


    She paused, her grin carrying a hint of mischief. “Moreover, he seemed to favor the dishes you prepared over the others, as he ate them more.”

    “Really?” My heart skipped a beat as I tried to picture that night, slowly convincing myself that Molly’s observations might be urate.


    “Of course!” Molly continued, recounting details I had missed. “When you got drunk and lost consciousness, Prince Dominic was truly concerned and rushed over to make sure you were alright.”


    My eyes widened in surprise and joy. “Really? I had no idea…” I muttered to myself, unable to lift my eyes to meet Molly’s.


    “It’s true, Lily,” Molly insisted seriously. “If Makenna hadn’t been so demanding of Prince Dominic’s attention that night, he might have… slept with you.”


    At her words, I felt a pang of sadness. My gaze dropped as my expression turned gloomy. Thinking about my status, I said dejectedly, “But I’m just a maid…”


    The idea of being with Prince Dominic felt like a distant fantasy.


    Molly let out a sad sigh. “Lily, you’re too beautiful to just be a maid. It’s such a waste. If only Makenna would speak well of you, you could be the princes’ sex ve and perhaps even bear their children.”


    The mention of Makenna stirred a tumult of mixed feelings within me. I envied her for being a sex ve. I had openly expressed to her my desire to also be a sex ve, but she consistently rebuffed me.


    My hands balled into fists as I pondered whether Makenna’s resistance stemmed from fear ofpetition. This thought fueled my anger.


    “Makenna keeps telling me that being the princes’ sex ve is not a good thing, urging me to abandon such thoughts.”
