Chapter 11

Wearing that skimpy dress made my life more difficult. Whenever I tried to bend to pick up something or clean milady's room, cold air would assault the backside of my thighs to as far as uncomfortably below my panties which unknowingly sent shivers down my spine.

I had to tuck the short skirt every time I bent or walked a little fast.

From time to time while working, I could feel the gazes of other servants, both male and female servants were staring at me which kind of made me uncomfortable but I felt something else as well….

…The same as how I felt when I washed Freya and how my body heated up.

The villainess so far has not done anything excessive but just made me do her chores.

One thing I felt was that she made me do more and more chores every day and I could somehow feel her gaze on me every time… but when I look back, she would be just doing her business.

Maybe this was her way of bullying me by making me do chores…?

As far as I remember, it was about the time when she would awaken her aura.

Unlike me, who was forced to awaken my aura before the proper age of awakening, she will of course, as a noble would awaken at the proper age only as it is the most appropriate age for most humans.

And I remember that in the novel, she would awaken the dark attributed aura, which was contradicting the holy aura of the heroine.

From then on, she will start to show her true dormant evil nature and wreak chaos in the lives of the heroine and her friends.

The awakening ceremony would make her unrestrained fully.

I fear what will befall me.

A few weeks later

A few weeks later, the birthday of the villainess arrived, and the Duchess had returned home specifically to preside over the ceremony to awaken her aura. Birthdays in this world were not celebrated with great enthusiasm unless one was a high-ranking noble with ample funds to spare. Awakening ceremonies were usually low-key to reduce potential hindrances.

As the Duchess arrived, she embraced the villainess and I, standing behind her with my head bowed, couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The head maid was also present, and despite the passage of months, I couldn't shake off my fear of her. I couldn't see her face, but I could feel her piercing gaze upon me, examining the skimpy clothes I was wearing.

The Duchess also noticed me and asked her daughter, "Freya, how did you like my gift? Was it to your liking?"

"Yes, mother, it was just to my liking," the villainess replied.

"I'm glad you liked it, but why is she wearing such clothes, dear?" the Duchess queried.

"Oh, that is because she is my new personal maid. I wanted her to wear something that would make her stand out, and I think this attire does just that." Freya replied with a sly smile, indicating her twisted sense of fashion.

"I see, well I hope she serves you well." The Duchess said with a nod, not suspecting any ill intentions behind her daughter's actions.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of dread wash over me as I realized that I was nothing more than a plaything to the Villainess, to be used and abused at her leisure.

But I knew that I couldn't let her continue to treat me like this, I needed to find a way to escape and make her pay for what she's done.

Well then, let's get started with the ceremony. You must be quite eager to discover your aura element," the Duchess spoke to her daughter, Freya.

"Yes, mother," Freya replied excitedly, "I can't wait to find out what my aura element is."

It was a given for high-ranking nobles with rich bloodlines to awaken their aura. It would be considered odd if someone from a noble background failed to do so, leading to doubts about their lineage.

As the ceremony began, I was instructed to wait outside the room as my presence was deemed to be a contamination to the sanctity of the ceremony. I couldn't help but let out a sigh at the thought.

As I waited outside the ceremony room, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The thought of the young noblewoman, Freya, unlocking her dark aura filled me with dread. I had seen firsthand the cruel and sadistic tendencies that often came with those who possessed such an aura. My own experiences as a servant, forced to endure her abuse and manipulation, only served to solidify this fear.

But, as a servant, it was not my place to question the actions of my betters. So, I stood outside, lost in my own thoughts, as the ceremony took place within.

Moments later, I was jolted out of my reverie as I felt a sudden, familiar tingling sensation. It was the unmistakable feeling of a dark aura awakening. My heart sank as I realized that Freya had indeed unlocked her dark powers.

I couldn't help but wonder what horrors lay ahead for those in her household and beyond, now that her true nature was unleashed. As a servant, I was powerless to stop her. All I could do was stand by and bear witness to the inevitable destruction that would follow in her wake.

I could sense the dark element emanating from outside the ceremony room, even though the room was likely outfitted with aura-canceling artifacts to prevent any leakage. As I waited outside, the Duchess, Freya, and the head maid emerged from the room. Freya had undergone a striking transformation, her previously shining white hair replaced with long, flowing pitch-black locks similar to my own. Her eyes, once a vibrant magenta, had changed to a hypnotic dark violet color with a streak of green. Her body had undergone significant changes as well."

Her once modest chest grew quite a lot and could easily be E-cup or above, her height increased making her taller than me now, and her body became quite curvaceous, though not as much as mine but it was not something any maid here could compare to.

She looked wilder and more beautiful than before.

"M-milady….?"

I asked even though I could tell it was her.

"Who else would it be other than your mistress, now go and make my bed, I need rest."

I hurriedly left to do as told as she talked with the duchess.

It seems her personality has changed as well successfully.

__________

It has been several days since the ceremony and the Duchess remains in the residence to monitor the condition of her daughter. She appears to be quite pleased with the powerful aura that her daughter has awakened. As for myself, my days have become increasingly difficult. The young lady has become more cruel and now treats me less like a living being and more like a mere tool or object. The slightest of mistakes are met with harsh punishment, leaving me with bruises and injuries on my body.
