26. Preparing for the Date [2]

"What should I wear on the date…hm?"

Amanda pondered, as someone who has never been on any date before, her condition was no different from Neel's.

"Why didn't you bring Sam or Nina with you? Why did you choose me?"

While Amanda was pondering on which dress to wear on the date with Neel, a womanly voice complained.

"Oh common Lucy, you know Sam's school has started and Nina is utterly useless in things like fashion. And you are the designer of Neel's all clothes, so I thought it would be best to ask the expert directly, am I wrong?"

"You are right about 'This madam being the best' part. However, this madam is busy serving her young master, so you shouldn't have assumed I will help you."

Lucy started to speak in a rather narcissistic tone, even noticing herself as 'this madam'. This was a side she never wished to show to Neel.

"You know, I was prepared for this."

Amanda was not in the slightest interested in wasting time convincing or bargaining with Lucy to help her out in dress selection.

"Today, you Lucy, personal maid of Neel, will spend her day with me, helping me out with dress selection and other preparations for my date with Neel, in exchange for this I will give you Neel's childhood photo, the one which you don't have."

Amanda placed her offer.

"Hmph! I have young master's all childhood pictures. Your offer is void."

Lucy snorted.

"You sure? You know I am a woman of my word."

Amanda squinted her eyes.

"I said I have all of them."

Lucy did not budge.

"Well, have a look yourself."

Amanda said and carefully put a picture in front of Lucy.

"I said-."

Lucy tried to say something but the moment she saw the picture, her eyes widened.

"T-this… how? Why I don't have this?"

It was a picture of five years old Neel walking on the field, while the sun was setting, he had a beautiful smile on his face.

The two women were stalking Neel, for many years. Although their purpose was to safeguard him.

Both women were slightly Yandere, another side unknown to Neel.

"You were stalking him, didn't you?!"

Lucy screamed.

"I don't want to hear that from you, who has a whole server bought just to keep all of his pictures and videos!"

Amanda argued.

Indeed, Lucy has a whole cloud server bought just to keep every action of Neel, stored, so when they return she would have all of his life stored within.

"You have only this or more?"

Lucy ignored previous accusations and tried to pry how much data Amanda had, that she didn't. It was a competition.

"What I have and what I don't, it does not matter. As the deal stands for this picture for your one day. Now hurry up and decide, and yes before you ask, that picture is original and I don't have its copy."

Amanda clarified.

After pondering for a moment Lucy agreed to the deal.

And for the rest of the day, the two women accompanied each other.

There was even a time when Amanda was going to buy the whole clothing company as she was not able to decide on her dress, but thanks to Lucy, she was out of her dilemma and enjoyed her time.

While returning home Lucy curiously asked Amanda a few questions and helped her prepare for the date.

"Princess, what are you going to do about your identity?"

At this question. However, Amanda frowned.

"You know, I want to show him my true face, I want to tell him about my bloodline and race, I want to tell him my true name, and I even want to be one with both my soul and my body with him, but…"

Amanda stopped before completing her sentence.

"He needs to awaken first, huh?"

Lucy completed it for her.

"Yes. I can show him my face, after all, I am his…"

Once again, she did not complete her sentence. But this time Lucy did not complete the sentence.

"I hope you get what you have yearned for, Amanda."

Lucy spoke to Amanda, with warmth in her voice.

"I also hope, Lucy."

Amanda answered with a soft smile on her face.

While the girls were preparing for clothing, Neel was creating a plan to make his date with Amanda, the best day of her life.

He even took the help of Sam, even went as far as to bribe her, to know Amanda's liking and disliking.

And just like that the date of 'The Date' arrived.
