4.Some Change in the Heart
update icon Updated at 2025/2/10 10:10:12

There are still three days before we launch a counterattack on the human kingdom. And two days have passed since Lumia has been with Enise successfully. Unfortunately I don't know where Lumia lives.

Thinking about the day Heath Relia just came back, she said I could ask her any questions.

I wanted to ask something about the master and learn more about her, because the master didn’t answer me some of the questions.

But I don’t know where Heath Relia lives. After all, the first great general of the Demon Kingdom has popular reputation.

Walking to the building where Heath Relia is, the soldiers standing guard salute me when they see me.

The place where Heath Relia lives is much livelier than the place where the master lives, with many people I don't know coming in and out.

Just as I walked into the building, I saw Lumia coming down the stairs coincidentally.

"Hello, Ilotia."

Lumia greeted me as soon as she saw me, the joy on her face not knowing if it was because she saw me or because of the lingering effects of her successful confession of love the day before.

"Lumia."

I nodded back to her with a smile.

"Did you come here looking for me?"

I shake my head.

"I'm looking for Heath Relia."

"General Heath Relia is busy and not here."

"Not here?"

F felt slightly lost. Since Heath Relia has been busy, it is not good for me to bother her.

"Well, Ilotia."

Looking at Lumia's face full of excitement, she looked like she wanted to talk to me.

"What's wrong?"

"I... I succeeded that day, hey ..." Lumia rubbed her head and giggled, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you."

Although I already knew that she succeeded, but I still pretended to be very relieved and happy.

"You’re welcome."

"By the way, do you have any urgent business now?"

"Nothing, instead, I'm too bored."

"Why don't you come to my room for tea?"

Looking Lumia’s enthusiastic expression, her eager expectation let me nod happily. And now I am also bored. It’s okay to chat with Lumia.

--------

Lumia's room is on the second floor. Her room is fresh, and the hues are basically white and light cyan.

There was a table in the middle of the room with a teapot and a few teacups, and some pastries nearby.

I saw a conspicuous purple-and-black scythe hanging on the wall. Following my line of sight Lumia went over to take it down. Wow, the scythe is taller than Lumia, and also taller than me.

Then the black mist emerged from the scythe Lumia held suddenly. The next second the scythe shrunk, and turned into a small one lying in Lumia's hands.

"How about that? Pretty cool, right?"

"Hmm."

"This scythe is my most cherished treasure. If I didn't have it, I wouldn't be able to stand at this height."

Lumia looked at the small scythe in her hand with a slightly cherished expression. Then she threw the scythe into the air. The scythe flew to the wall and changed back to the original size hanging on the wall.

"Since you can make it smaller, why not carry it with you?"

Lumia laughed helplessly.

"This is its original state. It would consume magic power to keep its small shape."

"So that's how it is."

We slowly sat down at the table and watched Lumia use magic to boil the water before making tea. I think that magic really works.

"Aren't you going to look for Enise?"

"She's busy now. She is busy checking the soldiers' health."

Sure enough, she is a doctor.

"By the way, I didn't expect Enise to agree to me so easily." Speaking of this Lumia flushed, "Luckily I had you to help ease my tension and cheer me up that day, otherwise I think I would have given up again."

Lumia called me to her room and invited me to tea so enthusiastically. She must want to share the joy of her successful confession of love with me, so I went along with her wishes.

"Can you tell me the details?"

"Hmm." Lumia's expression was all covered up with happiness.

"That day soon after you left, Enise came. And then I confessed my love to her when giving her the gift I was holding."

I know it. I smiled and nodded to signal her to continue.

"I was very nervous and shy, so I kept my head down. I could not hear what Enise was saying at that time. I just vaguely heard Enise ask me to life my head , and then ... and then ... and then Enise kissed me first. Wow! I have been still so happy now as soon as I think about it."

Lumia covered the red face. She seems to be deep in the memories of the day before yesterday. Then I showed a heartfelt smile. Lumia is very cute so Enise can not refuse her. In fact, Lumia has considered Enise as the most important people in her heart all the time, so that she has become humble. But it also proves that Enise is of great significance to Lumia .

"Ah ... sorry sorry, I was rude."

It took a while for Lumia to come back to her senses, with a blush still lingering on her face.

"It doesn’t matter."

Lumia looked up at me with her dark pupils, and her expression changed from excited to calm.

"Because Ilotia is so nice, I couldn't help but want to confide in you. It was only when I talked to you last time that I realized you were different from what I had imagined before."

"And what did you imagine me to be like before?"

"Well ... Don’t be mad at me if I say it out."

"I won't."

"In the past, I thought you were very vicious and hideous. You were very indifferent inside, and liked killing people. I saw you for the first time the day before yesterday and immediately realized you were Ilotia just by looking at your blue hair and the lack of horns. I didn't expect the real Ilotia is so weak and little, and quite talkative, not as fierce and arrogant as I thought. Now I think you're very gentle and kind."

"Is it like this?"

Not to mention that I am gentle or not, I did not expect someone would think I was so weak and little, did Lumia think of me as a male? Ilotia recorded in history are all female, so how can I be a male?

"Well. Besides, I'm excited that I can chat with the strongest of our demon race. Ilotia, can we make a friend?"

Friend ...

Looking at Lumia's expectant gaze, there was a slight touch in my heart because she was the one that really looked at me as the same kind.

"Yes, we can."

I slowly nodded my head.

"Yeah! Making friends with Ilotia, I think I'll be able to show off."

Lumia was so happy that she almost jumped up and down. She was really an energetic girl.

"Ah, yes, I forgot the tea."

Lumia put a teacup in front of me and poured it full of tea. And then the teacup in front of her was also filled.

"Thanks."

I held the teacup and gently sipped it.

"Ilotia, do you have a favorite person?"

The moment Lumia asked the question, the master's face flashed to my mind. But I still shook my head, how is it possible? It is just because the master constrains me all the time so that I have to consider first whether the master will agree when I do everything.

"No?"

"Hmm."

Lumia showed lost, but not a moment later, she became excited again as if she thought of something.

"If you have your favorite one person, would you prefer a male or a female?"

Would I prefer a male or a female? If it was me who hadn't been punished by the master yet, I would definitely reply that I like female without hesitation. But now I don't want to like anyone else anymore.

My master has now filled my heart. No matter what I do, I will give priority to my master. I always care whether my master will be happy, how my master's mood will be, and whether what I do will make my master angry. In short, every moment I will put my master first.

But at the same time I am also confused. I don’t know whether this is a kind of slavish thinking, or this is really a kind of love to the master.

I didn't even want to think about it before. Now I just think it is good to stay by my master. As long as she doesn’t punish me or abandon me, it doesn’t matter. But now Lumia has aroused my curiosity.

"What do you think the feeling of ‘love’?"

"Well ... this?" Then Lumia raised her head and pondered over this question carefully. “It's difficult to describe ‘love’. For me, as soon as I think Enise, I will feel very happy. As usual, when others mention Enise, I can not help but think her. If I get something good, I will want to share it with Enise first. Probably ‘love’ belongs to that feeling of putting each other first."

Isn't that the same as how I feel to my master?

Not really, right?

It's just a coincidence.

But why did I come here in the first place?

-- I wanted to ask Heath Relia more about the master, to learn more about her.

How is it possible? How is it possible?

I just want to learn more about my master through Heath Relia in order to make me better and make the master happier.

I just want to be a good slave to my master, not to be her lover.

"Ilotia?"

"Huh?"

Dazed for a long time, Lumia looked at me suspiciously, and the cup of tea in her hand was cold.

"Thinking about something?"

"Nothing."

Then Lumia gave a cheerful smile.

"By the way, there's a pledge meeting outside in the square this afternoon. Do you want to come along?"

I shake my head and stare at the light red tea in my hand. I don't want to go there. It's too boring. I don't need a pledge meeting to inspire myself.

"The demon lord is giving a speech personally."

Then I put my eyes back on Lumia.

---------- ----

Lumia and others need to line up, but I can move freely. Probably the master also knows that I do not need to participate in the pledge meeting. As long as the master gave the order to me, I will comply. So I do not need the pledge meeting to inspire myself.

No wonder the master didn't inform me and just indulged me in wandering around the castle.

I watched from a high building in the distance, and opened the Clairaudience and Clairvoyance. I can see and hear everything in the square.

The master was standing on a high platform, and the square below was full of soldier officers.

The master wore a gold glittering crown, gorgeous jewels inlaid on top of the crown. Her dark red hair was partly coiled in the middle of the crown, partly draped behind. The noble red dress dragged to the floor with a red carpet. The master's dress was full of complex patterns. At this moment, the master was tall and cold, wearing a solemn face.

The first time I saw the master so well-dressed. Even if I stood far away, the master's noble aura made me shocked. I was deeply attracted by the master, so that I could not move my eyes, and even did not want to blink.

"Soldiers of the Demon Kingdom!"

I listened to the master's passionate speech.

"Since the defeat of the last demon king, humans have become more and more reckless in oppressing our demon race!"

The loud and clear shout resounded through the sky. I never knew the master's voice could be so loud.

"That war sixty-five years ago was the greatest shame in the history of our demon race! The last demon king was also the first demon king who died under the sword of the brave! That war was also the most humiliating war in the history of our demon race! All the demon people who lost their cities were enslaved by humans! ..."

The master probably told some of the tragic history of the demon race to incite the resentment of the soldiers underneath.

Then she went on to tell about her achievements during the years of her reign. That is, she succeeded in recapturing all the cities lost by the previous Demon King and saving many Demon people who were enslaved by humans. The feats of the previous two generations of Ilotia were also read out, making everyone's blood boil with anticipation.

"Now that our Ilotia has been successfully manufactured. In this war Ilotia will help bring us to victory!"

"Trample the human kingdoms! Take back the dignity of our demon race! Show our majesty to the weak humans!"

Until the master stepped down from the stage, I could not forget the master's loud voice, the queen's noble aura, the king-like heavy pressure, her solemn face for a long time. The master's red figure has been left in my mind, and the noble crown let me willing to bow down for her.

My heart has been thumping hard. I do not know whether it’s because my blood boils with anticipation, or it’s because I have been deeply infatuated with the master.

Everything about me doesn't matter anymore, because I am willing to sacrifice everything for the master.
