The maid who was washing her body suddenly teased, "What is this? Is the princess now looking for a man?"
Brittany shrugged, a wistful smile playing on her lips. "I've never really seen a good man around... except..." Her mind drifted to Alex, recalling the times they fought together, supported each other, celebrated victories, and stood side-by-side.

Brittany's cheeks flushed slightly, a hint of embarrassment creeping into her voice. "N-No one in particular," she stammered, quickly changing the subject. "Just... someone I met recently."
The maids exchanged knowing glances, their smiles widening. "Oh, so there is someone!" the young maid exclaimed, her voice filled with playful teasing. "Tell us more, Princess! Who is this mysterious man?"
