~68~ The Invitation Towards the Maximus Duchy

"Wakey-wakey, Milady! It's already morning! Rise and shine!"

Melly's voice always wakes Victoria with the following moan. It's because her voice was pleasant however, it's enough to ring an alarm in her ears - as Victoria knew that when she was still in her precious world - that was what her mother would usually do and she knew it better than anyone else about Melly being somewhat similar to her mother in her previous life

'There we go again, as usual, Melly's voice is like an alarm to me as always. Ah! Is it already morning?'

Victoria was slowly waking up from her bed as she opened her eyes while gently running them. However, instead of hearing the birds singing from the outside - Victoria hard Melly chuckles for a bit while looking at her

'Huh? Is there something funny?'

Victoria was confused however, Melly immediately said something that made her eyes widen

"You're so adorable when you're doing that, Milady"

"Doing what, Melly?"
