Inside the dorms at the central campus of Antoinette Academy, Bella was undercover as a maid as she followed Princess Aslan to her room. As the second princess of the Aldridge Empire, she was highly regarded within the academy. Although she was not the president of the Student Union, she was one of the many vice-presidents and was in charge of the central campus. Each of the five campuses of Antoinette Academy was managed by a vice-president and they were technically on the same level as the actual Student Union President.

The central campus of Antoinette Academy was similar to Frank Civilian Academy, where they specialized in developing “wandering poets” – who were basically philosophers. The entire Other World in this dimension was filled with these “wandering poets” and the most useless of the lot came from the central campus. The students here were only in school to get by.

Princess Aslan was no exception. She was more powerful than the third princess – the “Third Chapter of Taboo” Princess Effie, and was second to the first princess – the “First Chapter of the Sky” Princess Eveny. Among the members of the Aldridge Empire’s royal family, she was technically ranked second. Even with the addition of the hidden top expert, the sixth Princess Ariel of the Renegades, Princess Aslan would still make it into the top three. This meant that she did not attend Antoinette Academy to further develop her skills and she was merely there to waste time.

Antoinette Academy was mainly for the rich. Although not all the students were nobility or from rich families, at least sixty percent of the students were well-to-do; the remaining forty percent were regular students. The interior of the academy was elegantly designed. In fact, in some areas, the decor was even more opulent and intricate than Olsylvia Academy’s nobility branch – Filomena Nobility Academy, and was even more extravagant than Euphemia Imperial Academy.

Olsylvia Academy would attempt to bridge the gap in status between students and would usually not allow the rich students to get away with everything they wanted. On this side, Antoinette Academy did not place any restrictions on students who wanted to flaunt their wealth. The academy’s atmosphere was extremely materialistic and was definitely a rich man’s world. Life in the academy was no different from being in society outside.

Along the way, Bella could see grand buildings and all sorts of opulent entertainment facilities. It almost seemed as though she was back on Earth, in Dubai. Anything you could think of as entertainment within the Human Continent could probably be found here. If not for the difference in land size, it would be comparable to Macnadix City, the capital of the Manasvir Empire. The luxury student apartments here were even more extravagant than those within Olsylvia Academy. Back there, there were still shared dormitories while inside Antoinette Academy, the mansion district was essentially a dormitory on its own. Each student was assigned to their own small mansion and were allowed to bring their own servants as well.

Other than servants and housekeepers, they could even bring their personal guards and there was no limit to the headcount as long as they paid the required additional fees. According to the rules, guards that carried weapons were only allowed within their owner’s assigned property. However, for a much higher price, their owners could be allowed to have up to three guards shadowing them.

Bella truly did not dare to agree with the atmosphere within Antoinette Academy where the rampant ostentatious flaunting of wealth, materialism, constant power struggles, and using of others to achieve their own ends could be seen everywhere. In fact, this arts school did not even set up a disciplinary committee at all, which meant that they had no intention of solving any of the disciplinary issues within the academy at all. Those who flaunted their wealth and those who resented the wealthy had secretly been at loggerheads for a long time. Every so often, a fight would occur.

Although Antoinette Academy had stepped up their security, the guards were not all-powerful. The student’s personal guards were usually responsible for their own safety. Since the school could only activate a limited number of guards, priority would often be given to the areas where the wealthiest students lived and they would not bother with the regular students.

As Antoinette Academy was severely polarized, the atmosphere was thick with danger. The perfection of this arts school merely existed on the surface. Underneath that beautiful facade, there was all sorts of hidden darkness that only those who have experienced life within the academy would understand. There was too much of a disparity between the regular students and the wealthy students. In fact, the regular students were the only ones who would pick up customers at the academy’s gates.

As regular students did not have much money, they had no choice but to participate in such activities that could provide them with easy money. The dormitories that they lived in were all extremely small houses, which was worlds apart from how Princess Aslan and the other wealthy students were treated. Unlike regular students, Princess Aslan and the other students like her would never participate in any of those special transactions. The dormitory area that they lived in was basically luxurious mansions. Each student had their own mansion that came with various recreational and entertainment facilities such as gardens and swimming pools. It would not be wrong to consider it an area where the rich gathered at all.

Fortunately, there was a special branch for regular civilians within Olsylvia Academy. President Britney of Frank Civilian Academy’s Student Union had as much authority as the other student union presidents. Over there, the relationship among the civilians, the nobility, and the royalty, was relatively balanced. On the other hand, Antoinette Academy did not care about this at all and allowed the disparity between the wealthy and the regular students to grow even further without doing anything to mediate the situation.

As Antoinette Academy was not considered as part of the Human’s twelve famous academies, they were always invited to the Twelve Academy’s union battles as a guest to help with the logistics and to cheer the other schools on. This meant that even the Imperial Union would turn a blind eye to the chaos that was happening within Antoinette Academy. Unless things had gone out of control, the Union would not step in.

Each year, Antoinette Academy was the Imperial Union Conference’s most generous sponsor and would donate much more than the other twelve academies. Since they would receive so much in gold, naturally, the Union would choose not to interfere with Antoinette Academy. At the moment, there was nothing that Bella could do either. Unless they were part of the Twelve Academies, it would not be possible for the higher ups to make any changes.

Princess Aslan lived in an extremely luxurious mansion that stood upon a large expanse of land. It was a three story mansion with a private swimming pool and garden. Other than Princess Aslan, her battle maids lived here with her as well. Unlike the other girls, she did not seem to prefer male maids or housekeepers. Instead, she simply brought her own battle maids when she arrived at Antoinette Academy and did not bother to bring any personal guards along.

There was a reason for her confidence. After all, Princess Aslan was a high level Mage. Most of the girls here who did not have any combat abilities. When facing an enemy, they only had two options – surrender or run. In comparison, Princess Aslan would definitely put up a strong fight. The tension was palpable inside the student residential area. When Bella and Princess Aslan arrived, they were met with large amounts of heavily armed guards.

As Princess Aslan was both a Student Union Vice-President and a princess, she was easily recognized. This meant that none of the guards on patrol would come up to interrogate them. Although the guards were curious about Bella, that strange maid, none of them dared to approach them to ask any questions. The academy was filled with wealthy and highly influential students and they could not afford to offend them at all. In fact, this was the case for the maids, servants, and housekeepers that belonged to such students.

Since Bella’s true identity was the Sacred Demon God Samantha, it was extremely obvious that her appearance and aura was not a maid’s. After all, she was a queen. Even if she was wearing a conservative maid’s outfit, she would not be able to hide the way she carried herself. However, if Princess Aslan, her mistress, did not suspect anything, it would not be appropriate for outsiders to say anything. All they could do was to pretend that they had not seen anything and play along with their performance.

“Princess Aslan, security here is way too tight. Haven’t we already arrived in the safe zone?”

“Bella, it’s not like that. Normally, there would not be this much security on high alert. However, since school started, the academy has not been too peaceful. I suppose you have not heard anything like this before.”

As they walked, Bella tried to chat with Princess Aslan. Surprisingly, both of them got along quite well. After learning Bella’s name, Princess Aslan did not really care that Bella did not speak with deference like a maid should. She seemed to have silently accepted her “impolite” ways and spoke to her as though they were friends, almost as equals. For some strange unknown reason, Princess Aslan seemed to have taken a liking to Bella.

This was one of the Demon God’s natural hidden attributes which allowed them to gain the favor of any pretty girl around them. Since Bella did not know that her original form had such a hidden attribute, she was now flirting unintentionally. Princess Aslan said many things to Bella, including how she was unhappy with the royal family’s marriage arrangement and how she did not have any feelings for Chairman Carlos of the Golden Legend Society.

Carlos was not too bad of a person, just unsuitable. Princess Aslan always admired the strong and powerful, especially those who could use brute force. On the other hand, Carlos was the heir of a successful businessman who lacked physical strength and was not even able to reach the level of a regular junior Mage. This was mainly the reason why Princess Aslan had once again rejected the thought of this political marriage.

Other than that, Bella had managed to find out why the entire residential area of the Antoinette Academy was under such tight security. Apparently, since school began, “midnight perverts” had been spotted within the academy that specifically targeted the girls who did not have any combat abilities at all. Those perverts not only robbed them of their valuables, some of those girls had lost all their clothes as well. Since they had been left completely naked, the girls had no choice but to run back naked in broad daylight. That psychological trauma would probably scar them for life.

None of those girls had said anything about what had happened, which meant that until now, no one knew if the girls had been sexually assaulted. After Princess Aslan got changed, she was supposed to pay a visit to the Dragon Princesses from Alessandra Academy next door. As her newly appointed head maid, Bella would definitely accompany the princess. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity to infiltrate the place. Bella knew that she would ensure that Princess Aslan would leave the residential area safely, even if it meant putting aside her pride as a Demon God.

“Your Highness, welcome back. The bath has already been prepared! Please come with us.”

“Erm, I don’t think... lead the way then!”

At the entrance of Princess Aslan’s mansion, they met her battle maids, who swiftly came up to pay their respects to the princess. Just as Bella was about to leave with Princess Aslan, two of the battle maids reached out and stopped her in her tracks.

“Excuse me, maid, stop right there. That is Her Highness’ private space and regular maids are not allowed to enter.”

“Hold on, you will not be rude. She is Bella, my newly appointed head maid. This means that she will be your direct superior and you will not act with such insolence!”

“Princess Aslan, don’t worry about me. I’ll join you in a moment. I got my clothes a little dirty earlier. I’ll change into a fresh set of clothes before looking for you.”

“Well... alright, come by the balcony on the third floor when you’re done.”

When she saw that Bella had been stopped, Princess Aslan immediately turned to berate her other maids and ordered them to allow Bella to pass. After being scolded, a flash of murderous intent flashed across their eyes. Although it was extremely well hidden, it did not escape Bella’s sharp eyes and she easily spotted the unusual situation.

Bella smelled danger, but she remained composed as she went her separate ways with Princess Aslan. Although there seemed to be nothing wrong with what the two maids were wearing and their expressions did not betray them, Bella took one look and knew that they were definitely fake. Demon Gods and Evil Gods were extraordinarily discerning when it comes to Humans. As World Destroyers had always used Humans for their experiments, they were extremely familiar with them.

Bella was a hundred percent sure that those two maids were actually men in disguise. Her golden eyes had spotted a male’s shadow on those maids. Normally, this would not occur with women. Aside from these two, it seemed like the rest of the maids in this mansion were also all men in disguise.

Bella was simply playing along with their ruse. She wanted to know if these guys belonged to the group of perverts who were creating trouble within Antoinette Academy. She followed them to a secluded corner. Along the way, those two fake maids were acting strangely. The path that they had taken was laden with quite a few traps. Every time they passed one, they would simply sidestep them, hoping that Bella would fall into one of them. However, Bella merely walked over those traps without anything happening to her.

Bella maintained a poker face and did not seem to care about the dozen or so troops lying in ambush around her. Her feet were actually stepping on air as she hovered just slightly off the ground. It was barely noticeable unless one was paying attention. While using the “Air Walk”, there was no way for her to step into a trap. Even if there were modern landmines in the ground, they would not cause Bella any damage at all.

“Head Maid, you...”

“Alright, are we done with the act? It’s extremely tiring trying to coordinate with your performance. Any later, I would probably end up missing some important things.”

“Damn it, you’re... brothers, move it! Tear this bitch’s clothes off and throw her out into the streets.”

Once they realized that Bella had tricked them, those fake maids finally revealed their true colors. They whipped out their weapons and charged towards her from every direction. Suddenly, this secret area was beginning to fill with puffs of white toxic smoke. If Bella was not wrong, there were Magic Forbidding Stones buried near where she was standing, which would restrict a Mage’s ability to quickly cast any attacks.

Bella was not a Mage and those Magic Restricting Stones could only dispel the magical elements within a specific area, which would greatly limit the effect of a Mage’s abilities. However, a Demon God’s magic came from within. This meant that those stones had no effect on Bella and seemed more like a joke.

Bella removed her black eye patch, no longer needing to hide her heterochromatic eyes. Behind her, a faint black shadow appeared. The demonic shadow split up into countless tentacles and instantly killed the fake maids standing closest to her. They died in an extremely gory manner. The tentacles pierced through their eyes and mouths and blood was splattered everywhere.

Bella did not lift a finger at all. She merely summoned an Abyss Demonic Being to aid in the fight. The type of Abyss Demonic Being summoned was related to the level of Demon God. For instance, this particular demonic being was the “Dark Devourer” – a fearsome Abyss Demonic Being that specializes in absorbing Human flesh and blood. If Bella did not control it well here and left it to roam freely, there was a possibility that all of Antoinette Academy would be wiped out overnight.

Those unfortunate fake maids had the blood and flesh sucked out of their dead bodies by those long black tentacles that seemed to act as straws. In the end, even their bones had been devoured. Within moments, other than the masks that those fake maids had used, there were no traces that they even existed, not even blood. An entire team of more than one dozen members was instantly wiped out, just like that.

“Seriously, they were too exaggerated. As a dom, you all fail!”

Bella then turned around and gave her orders to the “Dark Devourer”. Its task was to get rid of any of the fake maids who were lying in wait around the mansion as Bella still had other matters to handle. She needed to see how Princess Aslan was doing. After receiving Bella’s instructions, the demonic being split into multiple body doubles and entered the mansion in search of the remaining fake maids.

Bella put her eye patch back on. However, right before she was about to leave, she seemed to have thought of something. Casually, she reached down and picked up the Human-skin masks that they had used as a disguise. Those masks appeared to be some highly forbidden item. This meant that even the four Human underground evil organizations would not be able to buy them and she had no idea how those fake maids had gotten their hands on them.

Other than the Human-skin masks, Bella found a few other interesting trophies as well. The “Dark Devourer” was only interested in the Human body, and did not care about anything else. Bella had obtained many other “dom tools” that the fake maids had been carrying. After getting those tools, Bella’s imagination began to run wild.

“These tools are seriously professional. Who knows, maybe I will get a chance to try them on Princess Aslan.”
