"You don''t want to give me a hug?" Mia asked while tilting her cute head to the side.


    She still didn''t know why Orion loosened her hands from his waist.


    "It''s not that. It''s been a long day, I''m sweaty and I don''t want to get your clothes dirty,"


    "I don''t mind and besides, we''ve hugged already,"


    "I know babe, but I have to bathe right now. Once I''m done, I promise to listen closely to everything you want to tell me," Orion informed Mia and nted a kiss on her forehead.


    "Okay," Mia nodded her head with a cute pout on her lips. She didn''t mind hugging Orion even though he was sweaty and wanted to have a bath.


    In fact, she would be happy to get dirty as well, then she''ll use that as an excuse to have a bath together with him.


    A light bulb shone on Mia''s head as she realized that she could actually do this.


    Mia didn''t waste a second to think, and she instantly began to skip happily behind Orion while humming a beautiful song.


    She was grinning  from ear to ear and she couldn''t wait to have a bath with Orion.


    It''s been a while since shest bathe with him, so she was eager to bathe with him, and if possible, Mia would be happy to undergo an intense exercise with Orion on the bed.


    However, while she was happily following Orion, Mia suddenly heard Dahlia''s voice behind her.


    "Your Highness, would you like me to get you something to eat and drink?"  Since Orion had been training and walking around all day, Dahlia knew Orion might be hungry or thirsty and she would be more than happy to get him something to eat.


    However, Orion wasn''t hungry right now and neither was he, thirsty as well. "Thank you Dahlia, but that won''t be necessary. I just want to have some rest and you should probably get some rest too. Remember, we have a lot to do tomorrow," He informed her and Dahlia nodded her head in understanding.


    "I understand, Your Highness," Dahlia bowed with a smile on her face.


    She couldn''t wait to spend more time with Orion tomorrow. She really enjoyed her time with Orion today and she knew tomorrow would definitely feel the same way as well or maybe it would feel a lot better than today.


    Anyways, she couldn''t wait to spend more time with her beloved prince and anyone could see how happy Dahlia was while she walked towards the exit of Orion''s room.


    Meanwhile, Mia noticed the weird expression on Dahlia''s face and she couldn''t help but have a single thought on her mind. ''What did I miss?''


    Mia wasn''t a love expert but she had seen enough to know that Dahlia wasn''t the same gloomy maid she saw a few days ago.


    "Hey," Mia called out to Dahlia and the pretty maid turned around to know why Mia wanted to talk to her.


    "Princess Mia, is there anything I can..." While Dahlia was still asking if she could help Mia with anything, Mia asked her a question whichpletely caught her by surprise.


    "Did you have sex with my boyfriend?"


    "Huh?" Dahlia''s eyes bulged open when she suddenly heard what Mia said. She slowly took a few steps backwards when she noticed Mia stumping towards her direction with her hands on her hips.


    Dahlia tried to create a distance between them but she suddenly noticed her back was now against the wall and there was no other ce for her to go.


    "Don''t make me repeat myself, did the two of you had sex or not?"  Mia asked again.


    "W-We didn''t,"


    "Huh? Really?" Mia was surprised to hear Dahlia''s response.


    "Yes," Dahlia replied with a nod.


    "That''s strange, I thought you had sex with him because you look different,"


    "Princess Mia, what do you mean?"


    "You were smiling, so I thought you had sex with him, but if you didn''t have sex with him, then why would you suddenly...." Mia paused mid-sentence when she suddenly realized something.


    She leaned closer and whispered into Dahlia''s ear. "You like him, don''t you?"


    "Huh?"


    "Come on, you heard me. I''m talking about my boyfriend. You like him too, right?" Mia asked again but Dahlia didn''t know how to respond.


    Dahlia looked around the room but noticed Orion wasn''t in the room with them.


    Mia noticed that Dahlia was worried Orion might hear the truth, so she assured her. "Babe isn''t here right now, so you have nothing to worry about."


    Dahlia looked around the room once again and she noticed that Orion had entered his bedroom, so he shouldn''t be able to hear anything they were saying right now.


    But Dahlia wasn''t sure if she should tell Mia the truth because she doesn''t know how Mia would react if she told her the truth.


    However, Dahlia didn''t want to lie to a princess, so she summoned the courage to tell Mia the truth. "Y-yes," Her voice was barely above a whisper but Mia heard it clearly and she smiled to herself before holding Dahlia''s hand.


    "Come, with me. We have a lot to discuss about,"


    "Huh?"


    Mia dragged Dahlia out of Orion''s room before heading straight into Dahlia''s bedroom which happened to be next to Orion''s dorm room.


    The two sat in the living room and were discussing about the things she and Orion had done while Mia wasn''t around.


    Dahlia told Mia about the runes Orion helped her to remove, then she told Mia about the friends she''d made in the academy, which was thanks to Orion as well.


    At first, Dahlia felt ufortable to be talking about these things with Mia, but she noticed that Mia was genuinely interested in hearing about things like this and she became even more rxed to tell Mia everything she wanted to hear.


    Before she knew it, Dahlia was happily telling Mia everything she wanted to know.


    Of course, Mia also told Dahlia about the fun she had with Orion while they were adventuring together in the elf kingdom and it didn''t take long for the two beautifuldies to be close friends.
