Elise was helping Adela get ready for the bath. She was washing Adela's long, silky smooth hair. Adela closed her eyes and relaxed in the warm water of the bathtub.

Elise said, "My lady, your hair shines every day more and more.

When Adela heard Elise's statement, she smiled.

In her previous memories, Elise was really helpful. Yet, she was also poisoned to death.

Elise was talking to Adela, but she suddenly became scared and jumped over the side of the tub while Adela was immersed in thoughts.

She screamed, "My lady!"

After hearing her scream, Adela opened her eyes. She was not surprised, since she understood why Elise had shouted. Adela turned around and grinned while looking down at the floor. Her voice was pleasant when she said, "My baby is here."

Adela said, reaching out her hand as a little snake hissed and moved toward her. It then crept up her hand. Elise's frightening gaze was fixed on them.

"My lady, why do you always let him go free? He has venomous teeth, Elise said. The snake instantly hissed at Elise. Elise stepped backward out of fear.

Adela chuckled when she saw Elise in this view and said, "It's okay. Unless I tell him to or unless there is danger, he won't bite anyone."

As soon as he heard his master's words, he rubbed himself in her palm. "Why are you so afraid of him? It's only a baby," Adela stated. "My lady, I don't want to die in the baby's hands," Elise remarked pityingly.

"hissss."

Oba hissed at Elise after hearing her.

Elise called out to Adela in a trembling voice, "my lady."

"No problem, Oba. She likes you, too," Adela remarked as she patted Oba's head. "Go ahead, touch it," she urged Elise.

Out of terror, Elise shook her head no. However, Adela was always a villain. "If not, I will command Oba to chase you," she threatened.

"hisss."

Oba hissed as if he understood Adela.

Elise cried in terror as she added, "My lady."

"Yes."

Adela nodded and grinned mischievously at her. When Elise couldn't think of anything else, she approached the snake cautiously and tried to touch it. As she extended, her hands trembled.

"hiss."

Elise screamed in terror as she moved her hand, "Oh God." Adela laughed as she caught sight of her.

Adela chuckled aloud.

"haha."

"You don't have to pamper him right now. Go at your own pace," Adela remarked as she stepped out of the tub. She put Oba in his place before leaving to dress.

…

Elise was assisting Adela with her dress. She was combing Adela's hair when a maid rapped on the door.
