The girl's expression gradually eased, but her look was still tentative and full of distrust.
"Well...I...I am indeed a little nervous, but...but it’s no problem."
Then Lumia took a deep breath. But her expression told me that she is still nervous. Looking her cute appearance, I could not help but smile, Unless Enise is ruthless, I think she should not refuse Lumia.
Lumia sighed again and sat down on the bench in depression.
"It's already the ninth time. I must say it out this time."
"The ninth time?"
"Well, before it was because I was too nervous and not confident that I can’t say it out."
I'm sure I made the right choice in cheering her up. She has held back eight times before, so she will not fail this time.
"But this time, I can't put it off anymore."
Lumia opened her small hand, then a jade stone appeared in the palm of her hand. The jade stone has two cute small people engraved on it. I looked at Lumia, and then turned to look at the jade stone. These two small people are Lumia and Enise.
But looking at the person inside the jade stone, the two are the same height. So does it mean that Enise is also as short as Lumia?
"Enise is also very cute."
Looking at the jade stone, I could not help but praise.
Lumia raised her head excitedly after hearing it.
"Right, do you also think Enise is cute? Enise is the cutest, prettiest, kindest and most gentle person in the world. Enise is an angel in my heart."
However, after Lumia just praised Enise, the next second she felt so depressed.
"I like her for a long time, but I've never had confidence in myself. So I've been putting it off. Every time I want to express my love to her, I want to give up. When I give up, I always comfort myself that there's still time. But this time, I do not want to keep the words in my heart, because the war is about to start. I do not know if I can survive this war. If I do not express my love to her until I die in battle, I will be very sorry. At the same time, I also worry: Enise promised me. She would be sad if I died on the battlefield. Now I become hesitant again. I...I feel very ambivalent."
Saying so many words to me at once, it is clear how nervous she is and how much she wants to pour out this love.
I'm not an expert on love story. I don’t know what kind of person Lumia was talking about. However, something has been stirring me up with a deep desire in my heart. That is, I hope that she can succeed. I hope Lumia can be with Enise forever.
I think Lumia and Enise have been already on good terms.
"Have you ever thought that perhaps Enise likes you too? Maybe she is also hiding her feelings not daring to take the first step?"
Lumia became excited as she looked at me, but soon she became downhearted again.
"There are so many people who are better than me. How could Enise put me first?"
"No matter what happens, it's better to confess your feelings first. If you hide your feelings and want to come back alive to express love to Enise after the battle, won't it be easier to die in battle?"
I was going to comment more on this. But seeing Lumia's dawning realization, I think she has known it.
"You're right. Say it first. If I fail, I can go on the battlefield without too much thought. If I succeed, I'll try to survive to see Enise."
Lumia stood up and looked up at me.
"Ilotia, thank you. I don’t expect you to be such a gentle person. You’re willing to listen to me nag so much. They all think that Ilotia is a very cruel person. Ilotia has killed the warden, Moore, the other day, and has killed over 10,000 human captives a month or so ago personally. And not a single body was left intact."
"That's right. I did it."
I smiled and looked at Lumia. Her pupils instantly dilated when she heard my response. Then she became frightened again.
"But you have to know the situation I was in. I would have been tortured by my master if I didn't kill those humans. And I killed Moore because she insulted me before. I was all out of necessity."
Lumia relaxed and even looked at me with a little sympathy.
"Master..." Then she looked at the collar around my neck and gave a helpless smile. "That's right. Staying by the Demon Lord should be very tiring, Ilotia. It's not easy for you either."
"Hmm."
Before Lumia wanted to talk more about me, I changed the subject quickly.
"What kind of person is Enise?"
"Enise is a very gentle and cute person."
When mentioning Enise Lumia's eyes lit up.
"I remember we met a few years ago. At that time, I came back from the battlefield with wounds. I had a very serious injury. Thanks to Enise, otherwise I am a cripple now. During that time Enise took care of me every day. Every day I lay in bed Enise would chat with me. From that time, I fell in love with Enise."
So Enise was a doctor? Or a nurse?
"If Enise is really good, you should take advantage of the opportunity, not to be preempted by others. Or are you willing to see Enise with someone else?"
"No! No matter what happens, I .. I'm going to try."
Looking at Lumia's expression, I knew that she was still a bit nervous but did not have any desire to retreat timidly. I nodded my head and smiled in satisfaction.
And lunch time is almost here, so I can not continue to delay her.
"Good luck! I'll go first."
"Well, thank you for listening to me so much. I'm not very nervous now. Bye."
Saying goodbye to Lumia, I was not trying to leave. I wanted to use my light wings to fly to the roof to observe them with Clairaudience and Clairvoyance, but the sun was too fierce at this time. I did not want to be exposed to the sun.
There is a small palace in the garden with many artworks for viewing, but it is quite far from here. There were soldiers stationed in front of the palace. They didn't stop me, so I could come and go freely.
I went up to the second floor of the palace, and opened the window in the direction of Lumia. It’s so easy for me to use the ability of ten layers to see her and hear her words .
I finally waited for the arrival of Enise, so I leaned on the side of the bed and propped my chin to spy on their every move.
Enise is also a little girl, wearing a pure white chiffon dress. Under her swaying long silver hair is a gentle and kind smile. She looks really like an angel.
But Lumia's expression became tense when she saw Enise, and I sighed helplessly.
"Enise!"
Too bad. Lumia called Enise loudly first, and Enise also looked clearly startled. Then Enise became confusion suddenly.
"Lumia, what's wrong with you today? Is there something wrong?"
The gentle and euphonic voice came out. All of a sudden, I felt my heart melted.
"I...I, want to give it to you."
Lumia handed the jade stone in her hand to Enise. And then Enise smiled faintly and reached out to accept the jade stone.
"Thank you, Lumia."
Finally Lumia became calm and not so flustered.
"Enise."
"Hmm?"
"I know it is abrupt, but... but..." Lumia’s voice was getting smaller and smaller, and her face turned crimson.
"But what?"
It turned out that Enise hadn't heard what Lumia said clearly.
"I...I like Enise."
After saying that, Lumia flushed and lowered her head. From her current expression, she wanted to cry.
Enise also froze at that moment.
The two just stood there. One stood dumbfounded, while the other flushed.
Eventually it was Enise who came back to her senses first but her expression still froze.
"Is... is that kind of like?"
"Hmm."
Lumia who couldn't lift her head was still blushing.
Enise's confused expression slowly turned back to a gentle smile. Then she reached out to touch Lumia's purple hair.
It's no wonder that Lumia fell in love with Enise, since she has the gentle temperament, though she is obviously a little girl.
"So Lumia had called me here so many times just to say this?"
"Yes..."
"Made up your mind, right?"
"Yes..."
"I...I also..."
Enise blushed once again.
"I don't know how it would be with a girl either. But I'll accept it if it's Lumia, because...because I like Lumia too. Although I...I'm not sure which kind of like......can you raise your head first?"
So I saw two red apples staring at each other.
Seeing here I also know the ending.
So I turned around and closed the wooden window. Then I turned down the hearing sensitivity. Watched them successfully together, I did not feel great happy and excited.
Instead, there is a sense of loss and loneliness like falling into the deep sea in my heart.
Because I thought of myself.
Leaning by the wall, looking up at the ceiling, I think they are so happy. Their love story is so simple and pure.
But I started to become confused.
I have lost my qualifications as a human being, losing everything.
The master's few gentle smiles and occasional expressions of satisfaction at my performance came to my mind.
I will remain single all the time, because I am monitored and controlled by my master. Everything is in her hands, so there is no way I will ever have the chance to like someone else.
Do I still have that right to love or have any crush on somebody else now?
In other words, would anyone accept their lover being controlled by someone else? Would anyone treat me well now? I don't have the qualification to like others or to be liked by others.
Everything I have is my master's. The only choice I have left and the only choice I have is my master. But how could the master like me, and how could I dare to like the master.
Besides, the master will surely leave me first in the end. After all, my life expectancy is much longer than hers.
Thinking here, the already cold heart ... can not stop the pain.
