I am thinking again about what the master said.

The gap between me and the master.

The identity gap, the age gap, the life expectancy gap, and the race gap.

These are the only things I can think of at the moment, and I wonder if gender counts.

Just imagine. If I and the master are together, what about the heir of the demon king?

No, no, no. Since the master can give me a chance there must be a way. After all, this is the other world.

First is the identity gap.

She is my master, and I also have long thought about it.

But it doesn’t matter. After all, when I was a human in my previous life, I also knew lesbianism.

The first thing that crossed to the other world is to go to the auction house and then just buy a slave girl. I have known this outdated plot for long. Besides, if I secretly imagine that I will be with the master in the future with the identity of the servant, is it not quite interesting too?

This does not have to tangle.

The age difference.

Just from the appearance alone, the master looks like nearly 30 years old, while I ...look like 17 years old. And I will always be 17 years old.

The master will get older and older, but I will remain young.

Life expectancy is the most annoying.

When I imagine the master slowly becomes an old woman, I feel a little sad so I hug the quilt. Because the life span of the master is limited. Even if the master becomes old, I still like her.

If one day the master dies, what will I do?

I will secretly kill myself. Although I kill myself and the demons have to kill 20,000 people to sacrifice to create the next generation of Yiluodiya, I do not want to care so much. I am so selfish.

If I were to cross over to the other world as a free man with my ability, it should be a different script.

It's not that I haven't thought about exploring the other world completely. After all, everyone will be more or less curious about it when he just arrives in a a new environment, He will want to venture into the other world and see many unseen things.

But...my curiosity have been worn away by the master.

I have lost my curiosity about this world, and the only thing that can interest me is the master.

I have read a lot about lifespan theory on Earth, but the most important thing is to cherish the time I have together with my master.

I recall my master explaining to me this afternoon why she was so gentle.

I am so happy that I hug the quilt and roll in bed.

My master was impressed by me. She said she couldn't help but be gentle with me when she saw how well behaved and sweet I was.

I don't know if my master is lying to me, but I understand that the previous master could not have said such words to me. It means that I already have a fixed image in my master's mind and have become attached to me.

After completing the necessary daily tasks, it was time for me to turn off the lights and go to bed.

Speaking of which, I haven't returned the Maid's Code to Enise yet, so I'll take it back to her tomorrow.

----------

As soon as I woke up, I put on my clothes and ran to the kitchen impatiently.

Once again, I took the job from the maids and left the kitchen as they looked at me helplessly.

The door to the master's room was still unlocked, so I pushed it open and went straight in.

"Good morning, master."

Putting water and breakfast on the table in the room, I looked at my master with a slight smile while she nodded to me.

Sitting down unceremoniously across from my master, I gazed at her with a smile.

"Master, you look so good in the morning too."

Noticing a slight pause in my master 's hand, I felt so happy.

This time, instead of scowl, the master seems to hold back her smile.

Finally the master looked up as she dried her hands and forked the pastry.

"Stop looking at me all the time."

"I can't help myself."

The master didn't say anything more, a little helpless.

I did wonder why the master began to care about my gaze, before the master would never say this about me.

After I finished cleaning up for my master, I went back to my room and took the Maid's Code and went to Enise and Lumia's room.

As for telling the master what I wanted and confessing my love again, I'll wait until she's free tonight.

I knocked on the door and it was Enise who opened it.

"Yiluodiya."

"Good afternoon."

Footsteps sounded behind Enise and Lumia poked her head out from the side.

"Why do you come here, Yiluodiya?"

I shook the Maid's Code in my hand, "I return it back to you."

"Huh?"

Both Lumia and Enise's faces turned red, and Enise held out her hand to take it back.

"Come in and have a chat."

Looking at their warm hospitality, I could not refuse them. So I chattered with them in the house until the afternoon I then went to the City Lord's cell.

City Lord's room of Sirene City.

I asked the guards to open the door, walked into the cell and saw Minnis huddle in the corner, dirty and disheveled.

She looks very poor.

I went over and squatted down, and she looked up with her eyes a little lost in thought.

"Minnis?"

"Yes."

She kept shivering, probably because she was cold.

"What should I be called?"

She bit her lower lip unwillingly.

"Lord Yiluodiya."

I was a little angry. I had wanted to let her out today, but I didn't expect the effect to be there yet.

"I'm telling you. For the sake of your loved ones, you stay alive, and." I glanced at her cover-up, "Next time I come I'll let you out and give you clothes to wear if I'm happy with you."

"Thanks for your kindness, Lord Yiluodiya."

I stood up.

"I am going to see your relatives."

"Lord Yiluodiya! Please...don't hurt them."

Minnis immediately knelt down from in front of me, her head knocking to the ground, completely devoid of the nobility she had when we first met.

"They're fine, and I'm not holding them."

"Thank Lord Yiluodiya. I appreciate you a lot."

Now Minnis is different from her who had held on to her dignity two days before.

She must have been tormented by giving up everything she had for her loved ones. How come she seems to have become even greater suddenly?

But it does not matter. I just want to break her heart's defense.

Minnis’s family is still living in the city master's house, but their identity changed from the master into the subordinates. And they usually help us demon soldiers.

In a large dormitory, in fact, there are more than six of them.

Their family is not that few. But some of them committed suicide or were killed by us because they resisted too fiercely.

A dozen people lived in one dormitory.

They all showed fearful eyes when they saw me.

My eyes swept over them, and finally I looked at the little girl with a female adult sitting beside her, who was supposed to take care of the little girl with the broken arm.

When I walked over, the little girl saw my arrival and had some flinch. The look of fear covered her face.

I smiled faintly, bent down and said to her gently.

"Take you to see your sister."

"...Hmm."

I remembered that her name was Lena, and she nodded after a moment of hesitation.

"Come."

I held out my hand. She trembled and put her hand on my palm, tears flooding the corners of her eyes. She seemed to be really afraid of me.

"Don't you guys come along."

The whole room was silent. I quietly led Lena out of their quarters.

So I walked towards the cell, followed by the soldiers behind me.

"Lena...right?"

"Hmm."

I was going to sit down in a gazebo first, otherwise I'd get tired of watching her talk to me with her head tilted back.

"Do you know why I had to cut off your arm?"

Said that, the little girl cried with tears and shook her head.

"Don't be afraid. It's because of your sister who she won't surrender. In order to make her submit, I was forced to do it to you. Do you know?"

"Hmm."

Lena nodded frequently. I'm not a bad uncle, why does she show such a fearful look?

"It may be too much to say, but it's really not my fault. Think about it. You all lost the war. If I hadn't bailed you out, you probably would have all been taken into slavery. Do you know it? And your sister would rather die than surrender to me, but how could she die? You don't want your sister to die either, do you?"

"Hmm."

"Your sister is the City Lord of Sirene City and represents you. So if she is not willing to surrender, it is you who will be implicated. Only if she is willing to surrender to me can I protect you. By then the demons will know that you are Yiluodiya’s minions. Who will dare to make a move against you?"

"Hmm."

She always smiles helplessly, and replies ‘hmm’ all the time. I wonder if she has listened to my words.

"So I was heartbroken when I cut off your arm, but that was all because your sister wouldn't submit, and it was your sister’s fault."

"Hmm."

"Well, now I'm taking you to see your sister just to hope that you can persuade her. If she is willing to sincerely surrender to me, I will let her out, and then you can continue to live together."

Speaking of this Lena's fearful eyes began to shine with hope. She looked up at me and nodded.

"So much for words, then, come on, and keep going."

Taking her only remaining right hand, she became much less defensive of me. I snickered in my heart that children are just easily brainwashed.

"Remember to persuade your sister to surrender when the time comes."

"Yes."

Her reply was full of determination.

Arriving at the cell, I let the little girl in alone. Consciously avoiding outside the door, I eavesdropped on their conversation.

"Sister...are you okay?"

"Lena."

I could hear Minnis' voice a little excited.

Then Lena burst into tears, but she still hadn't forgotten her mission, crying as she said.

"Sister...let's go out...I miss you and I don't want my sister to stay here anymore."

"There's nothing I can do about it."

"But...Yiluodiya has said she'll let us live together again if you will surrender...why won't you surrender?"

Minnis didn't pick up Lena's words, and all that was left was Lena's crying.

"Sister, surrender. I don't want to see you suffer anymore."

Lena kept crying and begging Minnis to surrender, and I leaned against the wall and looked up at the brown and black ceiling.

Why do children differ so much from adults?

What is the dignity that Minnis is guarding? If giving up your dignity makes you not a human, are children not humans too?

No, it's just because children are ignorant, their minds can only analyze the superficial advantages and disadvantages, and their lives are not deep enough.

It cannot be said that Minnis' insistence is necessarily wrong, nor can it be said that Lena, who is still a child, is right.

Based on the decisions made by two different ideas, children and adults, each has its own right, and each has its own wrong.

Minnis never gave Lena an answer, and Lena cried harder and harder.

"Sister...say something...sister...let's surrender to Yiluodiya..."

"Why won't you surrender, sister? As long as you can surrender, we can be together again... Don’t you like that? Or do you hate us?"

After a long hesitation Minnis gave an affirmative answer.

"Lena...okay, I will surrender to Yiluodiya."

I could feel from Minnis's crumbling tone that her heart had begun to give up completely and was no longer stubborn.

Lena's sobs gradually stopped while Minnis gradually cried. It should have been tears of humiliation.

It was really touching.

Speaking of which, what the hell am I doing all this for?

Why do I try my best to let Minnis submit to me? It isn’t good to me and demons. I just want to see how precious human’s dignity really is.

Is there really a need to keep holding on to your bottom line?

When you become a prisoner and never get out of the day, is it really necessary to still think about human’s dignity?

I turn around and leave, leaving a sigh of relief.
