I went back to my room and lay in bed contemplating.

The master said that these days she would not read my mind.

So can I let my mind go free?

No matter what happens, the master who is the head of a country will certainly keep promise.

So my mind is now considered to have escaped the master's bondage. Although it's only a few days, I need to calm down.

The request was made by me. However, I felt a little surprised that the master did not peek into my mind.

Thinking back to the abuse I received more than half a month ago, the miserable pain still lingers in my mind, and the master's horribly cold face is still vivid in my mind.

As the saying goes, a man will forget the pain when he lives well. I live well now and am no longer feel merciful on killing people on the battlefield.

So what I need to do is to gain the trust of the master, because I only have this one path.

It is the easiest for me to follow this path now.

I don't know what hardships the future war will encounter, or what other ways humans have to restrain my strength. But for today's war, I truly realize the gap between me and the beings in this world. I don't think there are many humans whose strength is equal to mine. If there were, wouldn't the humans have long since taken hold of the demons?

I closed my eyes peacefully and started to rest. Just let the past go away. What is important now is to look forward positively. As long as I perform well in front of the master and gain her trust, my life will become better and better.

Besides, I think the master looks eye catching now, so why should I run away from her?

----------

The next day when the demon army was preparing to leave for Hivis City, my master and I remained stationed at the river barrier. We would catch up with the army after a while.

After Heath Relia left, the master was left alone in her room.

I knocked on the door of my master's room with the slanting shadows of the setting sun.

"Come in."

After receiving permission from the master, I opened the door and entered her room. Then I turned around and gently closed the door.

The master was still sitting on her single sofa, while crossing her legs idly. Then she just smiled slightly when she saw me.

I felt greatly content by the master's faint smile.

This unprecedented sense of tenderness put me in a trance, as if the one who punished me those days and the one sitting in front of me now were not the same person.

Now I felt overwhelmed in front of the master. I just wanted to get closer to the master, and did not think of anything to say to the master.

In my mind, a variety of expressions of the master kept flashing through my mind, sometimes cold, sometimes smiling, sometimes angry, and sometimes gentle, most of a serious face or an indifferent face.

So I became curious about what the master really looked like.

"Master, which one is the real you?"

"Which one is the real me? Does it matter?"

Tightly biting my lower lip, I slowly nodded and habitually waited for my master's answer, but then it occurred to me that my master didn’t read my mind. So I said what was in my mind.

"I want to know more about the master, and I hope the master can trust me."

The master gave me the same elegant smile as Heath Relia.

"I haven't hidden my emotions in front of you, because I don't have to hide anything from you. Heath Relia also does the same thing to you like me. Heath Relia can call me by my name in front of you. We have nothing to hide from you. The me in front of you is the real me. Isn't it normal for a person to have different reactions and expressions in different moods?"

So the master means that we can share our minds and thoughts with each other and I am not an outsider. Although it was a bit unpleasant to get Heath Relia involved in our relationship, it was thanks to her that I dared to take this step.

I felt somewhat happy and then lowered the head. I clenched my hands tightly, constantly playing with the fingers. At this moment, I was looking at the ground, like a shy girl , but I can not control myself.

Finally I made up my mind to say out what was in my heart.

"I...I hope the master can be gentle with me."

I don't want to live the hellish life of half a month ago anymore, and I don't want to see that disappointed and angry look on my master's face anymore.

As long as my master is gentle with me, I would be willing to go to war and win for her. It’s a very win-win proposition, isn't it?

The master smiled when she heard my words.

"After spending so much time with me, have you not known what I want from you?"

I raised my head and looked at my master. So it was clear that something simple had been complicated by me all along.

"As long as I'm willing to do whatever you want, you'll be good to me, right?"

"Yes."

The joy of relief kept hitting my brain. I was so happy that I became a little dizzy.

If only I had understood this from the beginning, if only I had only had just care about my master from the beginning, everything would be better. Why would I have ever thought about freedom at that time? Now I just quietly accompany the master, the only person who knows all about me. How good.

In the small room, my master and I looked at each other with smile, and my heart beat faster as the temperature of my cheeks rose.
