67. The Return of Heath Relia
update icon Updated at 2025/4/18 11:10:12

After another day of this repetition, Heath Relia came back.

She came back without much fanfare, just plain as usual. She had an elegant smile on her face even though she endured the hardships of a long journey.

Heath Relia and I went back to the master's room with the master. They only occasionally chatted on the way. I could feel that the relationship between them is not distant, but still the same as before. But I become more intimate with the master. I think the contact between Heath Relia and the master is considered ordinary.

After sitting down in the room, Heath Relia had no doubts about my customary nonchalance.

So I listened as usual as they continued their conversation.

"All taken care of, right?"

"Yeah. It's working pretty well."

"Then I can leave it in your hands."

Heath Relia smiled, nodded, and glanced sideways at me.

"How has Yiluodiya been?"

Is that a question for the master or for me? I turned my head to look at my master and she stroked my head as if she was happy.

"Fine."

So was it a question for the master?

After exchanging a few pleasantries with me they went on to talk about the world's events.

I wasn't interested either and just listened in agreement.

But perhaps Heath Relia just came back and felt a little tired. She sat here for more than ten minutes and then got up to leave.

I watched Heath Relia's back disappear outside the door, and the master's voice rang around me.

"Go ahead if you have something to say to her."

"Huh? Yes."

Running up to catch up with Heath Relia, my current master reads my heart without ever reminding me. So I don't even know when she's reading and when it's off.

Walking down the sun-drenched hallway, Heath Relia was supposed to be going back to her room. I followed her, calling her name softly.

"Heath Relia."

Heath Relia also returned my faint smile, "What's wrong?"

"It's been a while since I've spoken to you. If you want to go to your room and rest then forget it."

"That's fine. I'm not very tired. But let's talk in my room."

I went to Heath Relia's room.

Sitting down in front of her as before, I watched Heath Relia making tea.

I couldn't wait to share the joy with Heath Relia.

"Heath Relia, I confessed to the master during the time you were back in the imperial capital."

"Oh?" Heath Relia poured hot water into the teapot, not looking at me but she still showed an unexpected expression.

Heath Relia put the lid on the teapot before looking up.

"So soon? How did it turn out?"

"The result...the master hasn't said yes to me so far, but she hasn't rejected me either. She promised to give me a chance to slowly approach her."

That is, the master is waiting for the day when she can accept me.

"That's good. I can observe that the atmosphere between you two has changed."

I had a million words and excitement inside me that I wanted to express to Heath Relia, but for some reason I didn't feel the need to say them afterwards.

I suddenly thought of the change in my master.

"Heath Relia, can you tell me how the master is like in a place I can't see? From the time I was reborn into this world until now."

"Yes, it is necessary to know this as her future companion."

Looking at Heath Relia giving me a slightly flirtatious smile, I instantly blushed and my eyes drifted everywhere.

"Still...not sure yet...don't talk nonsense."

"From the time you came into this world? At the beginning she didn’t treat you as a human being, which is also the reason why she is so strict with you, like casually beating you, scolding you. No matter what happens to you, she can still keep calm."

I know this. At that time the master beat me and yelled at me without mercy because of some of my small mistakes. Now I can still remember clearly the master’s indifferent face.

"At first I did not really care how she treated you, but seeing your watery blue eyes, I could not bear to see them lose their luster. I wanted to talk to you. But several times I approached you, and you did not pay much attention to me. I thought you refused to communicate with me, so I had to give up. Then I put in some good words for you in front of Furtoril, and there were slow changes in her attitude."

Heath Relia began to pour the first tea and pour the hot water once more.

"There wasn't much to say. But I just persuaded her every time when she went too far, and over time her attitude changed."

"That's good enough."

I smiled contentedly.

At least I knew how my former master viewed me. I was happy that I could make such a radical change in her attitude towards me in just nearly a year.

"Speaking of which, I was surprised to learn that you liked Furtoril at first. Don't you think your feelings are cheap?"

"How could it be? I can guarantee that the master is the most imposing person I've seen since I've been alive for so long. If she hadn't mistreated me before, I might have fallen in love with her after just one day with her. I like that cold aura of the high cool imperial sister the most. The tone of voice, indifferent but young, and the iceberg face, also makes people feel the strong power. Besides, she is the queen. When she wears the crown, she is gorgeous and stunning. But when she is usually gentle, she is also very charming ..."

I realized what I said. I instantly came back to my senses and covered my face. I felt some embarrassed in front of Heath Relia.

What have I said in the end?
