The Villainess Next Life (COMPLETED)

Chapter 10

That day was a veeeery busy day. Alarice who woke up at 12 nn was still exhausted from last night. The entire time the maids are getting her ready with countless of baths she was half asleep. These were the times that being rich and in power was very convenient.

But there was a bigger problem.

"A-Ahmm. Your Majesty. I think we need to put a lot of powder on your chest, check and shoulders." the maid Ariel said while blushing

The half asleep Alarice look in the mirror and blushed too.  Both in annoyance and embarrassment.

"That idiot! I told him not to mark too many!" She exclaimed.

Her neck, chest and shoulders are full of red bite marks and kiss marks.

She groaned. The dress that she'll wear was off shoulders. She'll have a hard time going back and forth to the powder room to put powder on the parts that have marks.

"I'm sorry, Ariel. Can you do something about this? Like, the powder should have a long lasting effect. I probably does not have much time to retouch."

"Mhhh. I'm going to try your majesty but we're not really sure." Ariel said

"Why don't you just go to the ball like that? Empress Consort Qashanna and Concubine Elisha were always proud to announced that they slept with the Emperor." The other maid said.

"Are you kidding me?! I'll die of embarrassment. Now, please. Do something." She said

The two of them began to put some thick powder on her shoulders.

Argh. This is so embarrassing. Why did I ride on with his lust?

With all these preparation, Alarice feel so tired already. There were even times when the head Maid Madame Constance asked her about some minor problems in the ball preparations.

Her hair and make up took almost four hours to complete. After she was dressed the maid looked very satisfied and happy as if looking at a masterpiece.

They tied her hair up in a messy bun with some loose curly hair. They put some small, elegant hair ornaments in there. Her neck was adorned in blue diamond necklace paired with small dangling blue diamond earrings.

Her dress was an off shouldered blue ball gown. The top of the gown has floral patterns to it while the base is a layer of dark and light shade of blue with floral patterns on its hem.

"You look really dazzling Empress!" They exclaimed.

She just laughed it off.

"Where's the kids?" She asked

"Oh they were waiting since earlier, Your Majesty."

"Why didn't they just come in here?"

"They said it is ungentlemanly to go into a lady's changing room." the maids chuckled.

It seems those two are starting to grow up. She expect that much from Mark but it seems like Naveen was also imitating him.

"Let's now go. We're already late. Did the Emperor made their entrance?"

"Yes your Majesty. Just a while ago they already entered the banquet. They're now about to start the program."

That means we're late and I'm the reason. Up until now Alarice was always late in most of her appointment especially if she doesn't really want to attend.

She just shrugged and went downstairs to the waiting princes.

When he saw the two princes she was really astonished. Their father's genes did not go to waste. The both of them were really beautiful.
