Chapter 81: Twisted Desires
Prince Florian seemed surprised by my words. He was stunned for a brief moment before he started laughing softly. It didn’t take long for his laughter to get loud enough to echo all around us in the enclosed space of the bathhouse.
“Hmm...interesting...” he murmured before he smiled at me.
“Then, will you please...” I began saying but I never had the opportunity to finish my sentence.
For a split of a second, I saw Price Florian’s lips transform from a smile to a wicked smirk, and then, I couldn’t see anything anymore.
Time didn’t seem to freeze, and nothing moved in slow motion. The next thing I knew, my entire body was already engulfed in lukewarm water. My eyes automatically closed when I felt myself falling forward and then I was in the water along with the prince. I could still feel his hands on my wrists as I struggled to emerge through the surface of the water.
“I forgot to ask whether you could swim or not. I just kind of assumed that you could. Mila, can you swim?”
Is this some kind of joke?
“I can...swim...” I struggled to reply in between my coughing.
I was wet from head to toe and suddenly the maid uniform that I had on felt quite heavy as it clung to my body. Swimming wasn’t really necessary considering that the bath wasn’t even deep to begin with, and my feet could reach the bottom without any problem.
