I closed my eyes and began to indulge in meaningless thoughts.

To be honest, even if I got naked and climbed onto my master's bed, she probably wouldn't show any reaction.

I tried so hard to change and dress up just because I wanted my master to make a move on me. For example, I wore a semi-transparent nightgown just to let my master undress me and take the next stage...

It's so embarrassing even though I'm the only one in the tent and my face turns red in embarrassment.

Why am I so dirty-minded?

Moreover, I still think of myself as the one who was pushed into this situation. Could it be that my past life as a boy was just a dream?

But in front of my master, I really wanted to be touched.

But if I think about it carefully, I feel a little lost.

My master never makes a move on me, even when I initiated, she just hugged me, patted my head and pinched my face. If my master really had any attraction towards me, she would have shown some signs, such as rapid breathing. Not to mention, I am a stunningly beautiful girl, if it were me, I would have lost control. However, my master remained calm and collected.

While I was lost in thought, my master came back. I jumped up from the bed and greeted her, "Welcome back, Master."

My master gave me a slight smile and nodded.

Suddenly, I ran up and gave my master a big hug, diving into her familiar warm embrace.

My master caught me and spoke with a somewhat helpless tone.

"What's wrong?"

"I miss the smell of my master's body,"

I said while patting her back.

"Let me sit down first."

"No! Master, why do you smell like Heath Relia?"

"Hmm? You've got your nose in the wrong place. It's unavoidable to have some collision working together."

I smiled and let go off my master. Then I let my master sit down in the chair next to the table in the middle of the tent.

I still felt uncomfortable though what my master said made sense.

"Master... Please don't eavesdrop on my thoughts,"

I said while dragging a chair in front of my master, staring directly into her red pupils.

"Oh? Are you commanding me?"

Curiosity was instantly tempered as I looked down and apologized, feeling somewhat deflated, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay. Just say what you want to say. Is there something you can only say by not listening to your heart?"

I raised my head again, feeling happy and fortunate for my master's indulgence, but I suppressed my emotions and threw her what I just thought of,

"If Heath Relia and I both confessed love to you right now, who would you choose?"

"Why do you think so much? Heath Relia doesn't like me."

My master answered me without any panic, her expression unchanged.

"I meant if... If that were the case, who would you choose?"

“Impossible.”

"Tell me the truth, Master." I pressed my knee against hers, leaning forward, and my tone became almost cutesy.

My master's expression finally changed, showing a very helpless smile.

"Do you think about these things when you have nothing to do?"

"Um, all I think about is my master. Please don't change the subject. Tell me quickly..."

"Hurry up, hurry up..."

As I urged her impatiently, my master hesitated, and I also knew the answer.

I felt a little uncomfortable. I crawled onto my master's thighs and hugged her tightly. Hugging her, which felt very comforting, my master did not resist but embraced my back.

I knew I was no match for Heath Relia.

If I tried to look at things from my master's perspective, I would realize that my feelings are abnormal.

A type of extremely humble love. Although on the surface it seems that I am willing to devote everything to my master, perhaps from my master's point of view, I am only torturing myself. My status is originally much lower than my master's. For a noble queen like her there must be a huge psychological barrier for her to overcome and to accept her slave.

"Master, I won't affect the battle."

Furthermore, my master seemed to have a favorable impression of Heath Relia before.

It is too presumptuous of me to compare myself to Heath Relia just because I have made some progress.

Master patted my back lightly, comforting me that I have made significant progress compared to before.

"Let me think about this problem, okay?"

"What does that mean?"

I freed myself from master's embrace, holding her shoulders and making eye contact.

For the first time, I spoke in this ambiguous posture, sitting on my master's lap, just right for us to have a direct eye-to-eye conversation. Master just smiled lightly with her hands still hugging my waist.

"I have many things to do and think about every day. Apart from Heath Relia, there is no one else who can help me. If you continue to learn, by the time the war is over, you may only be qualified to be a small official. Be a good girl and don't think too much. Can you understand and accept me and Heath Relia?"

"Okay..."

Without realizing it, I heard master's words like she was coaxing a child, and the unhappiness in my heart dissipated instantly.

It was the first time that the master let down her guard and sought my opinion, just like how she would coax her girlfriend with an unreasonable temper. I couldn't help but smile.

“Although I may not be as talented as Heath Relia, considering all aspects, can I still compare to her?"

"Why are we back to this topic again? Just accept it."

"Yes! Live long, the master. I will surely surpass Heath Relia and even strive to take her place in your heart. Hehe...when that time comes, if Heath Relia leaves, you'll be mine, master."

Ah! I accidentally said it all out loud.

Master showed a helpless smile, as if watching a child being naughty.

"I am not your daughter, master." I shook her shoulders and said firmly, "I am an adult now. I am already nineteen years old. Stop treating me like a child."

"Okay, okay."

"And, master cannot have a harem."

I guessed that master only had a good impression of both Heath Relia and me, and that her feelings had not yet elevated to the level of romantic love.

I will work harder to surpass Heath Relia.

"You cannot push your luck that far."

Once again, master gave me a helpless answer.

Suddenly, I was shocked at the thought that master did not reject the idea of having a harem. Although I could hardly accept it, I would support her decision.

"Then, at least I am the main wife, right?"

"So are you defining it already?"

Looking at master's smile, I felt dazed.

"Then, master, will you have a harem?"

"No."

At that moment, my heart was filled with infinite happiness, and I couldn't hide the joy on my face.

"Master, why not stop thinking about it and just take me in now? I am capable enough."

Knock, knock, knock.

The wooden board outside the curtain was unexpectedly knocked.

I knew it was Linsi and Daisy bringing dinner.

Reluctantly, I got off my master's lap and went to meet Linsi and Daisy.

Fortunately, they did not directly open the door to come in, otherwise they would have been embarrassed if they had seen me and the master holding each other in such a position.

“Go to ask them to come in.”

At my master's command, I went to meet Linsi and Daisy.

"Bothering me and the master."

I pretended to be angry and gave them a glare.

"Sorry...Lord Yiluodiya."

"But it's dinner time."

Seeing the two maids bow their heads nervously and with self-blame, I finally smiled.

"Just kidding. Come in quickly."

Linsi and Daisy looked up, their expressions relaxed. I turned around and walked in with them carrying the dinner."
