Though I just wanted to have a nice date with my master and create beautiful memories, just wanted to relax a little, why did I encounter so much trouble?

From now on, I will never accept any humans again; I will kill them all without mercy.

Covered in blood, it's not my fault.

Just like what Ferrer said, I am also fulfilling my obsession.

The only remaining guard is still trembling there.

I walked over and squatted down to touch her head.

She raised her tear-stained face.

"They...they...sob..."

I glanced at the three miserable bodies lying not far away, silently mourning for them. This time, they were heroes for protecting my master.

"I'm sorry."

After a long silence, I apologized to them with guilt.

As soon as I spoke, the guard instantly burst into tears, sitting on the ground and crying uncontrollably.

I quietly stayed by her side.

The four of them must have been very good friends.

Monotonous weeping, the night grew deeper.

----------

"Ferry."

Heath jingled her ankle chain, making a clattering sound.

Since the incident with Ferry that night, I have reattached Heath's hands and feet to the bed using iron chains.

"I won't be like him. I have my own obsession."

When Heath learned of Ferry's death, she only said a brief "what a pity" and didn't say anything else.

Now, it feels like someone unrelated is talking to me.

"I will take you to the battlefield."

"Ah!" Heath's eyes instantly lit up. "Really? I won't let you down. I will do my best to kill enemies on the battlefield."

"Yeah."

I looked at Heath's delighted smile and felt like something was missing, but I couldn't put it into words.

"Yiluodiya, we can see each other every day from now on."

An innocent and pure smile, without any impurities.

Now I am one hundred percent sure that Heath truly likes me, and she is genuinely a good girl, liking beautiful and cute things, which happen to be qualities possessed by girls.

"By the way, how is our Demon King doing now?"

"She is still recovering, but she will be jumping around in no time."

The medical technology in this world may not be advanced, but magic is omnipotent, and the physical condition of demons is much stronger than that of humans. I cannot measure it based on Earth's standards.

After leaving Heath's room, I thought of a word—indifference. Heath is really indifferent towards things that do not interest her, just like Ferry's death. As a fellow human, she didn't feel any distress.

Heath Relia is busy; she said that my master's situation does not affect the army's preparation progress, and the departure time will not be delayed because of my master. After all, Heath Relia has complete control over the military authority, and my master is usually just giving advice to Heath Relia, who is like a messenger.

As I walked out of Heath Relia's office, I ran into Nora.

"Hey, Yiluodiya."

She greeted me politely.

"Hey, Nora."

"Well, is the Demon King okay?"

"She's fine."

Nora seemed relieved.

"That's good. I suddenly feel sorry for the Demon King. Everyone wants to kill her, sigh~"

I lowered my head, remaining silent.

Whether they are fellow demons or humans, there are people who want to assassinate my master.

"Ah, let's chat again when we have time. Heath Relia is looking for me, can't keep her waiting."

"Well...goodbye then."

Watching Nora disappear into Heath Relia's office, I turned and left.

The entire Lord's Mansion was still running orderly.

I wandered around the mansion, my master's affairs being their topic of conversation when they have leisure time.

The sun continued to rise and set, and peace was restored among the demons. The only one injured was my master.

After dinner, I still couldn't face my master.LinsiDaisy came to my room to set the tableware for me while I sat in the chair feeling a little down.

"Lord Yiluodiya, are you worried about Lord Demon King?" she asked.

"Lord Demon King's injuries aren't that severe, please don't worry, cheer up," I replied.

"Mhm."

I answered them half-heartedly.

After sighing, LinsiDaisy left my room.

If it wasn't for my stubbornness, the master wouldn't have ended up like this, right?

I wanted to help but only ended up making things worse, I'm so stupid.

I always thought the master would accompany me, and because she indulged me a bit, I became reckless.

My mood is terrible.

I took some clothes and went to the bathhouse for a hot bath, but instead of feeling relaxed, my body became restless.

Back in my room, tossing and turning, unable to withstand the restlessness in my heart, I went out to get some fresh air.

The attic of Kypas City's Lord's Mansion, I ran all the way up to the top floor.

Looking down at the whole city, the starry sky above was splendid, while the houses below were dimly lit.

War took away all living beings, leaving only glory and emptiness.

Kypas City a little over half a month ago was flowing with blood, and although most of the bloodstains have been washed away by the rain, the remnants left in the city's ignored dark corners continue to accuse us of our sins, like a history that cannot be erased.

It's not about guilt, I have prepared myself to take the path of no return.

It's just that I suddenly started hating war, wanting it to end quickly, and what I fear the most is something unexpected happening to the master on the battlefield.

The sound of footsteps interrupted my thoughts, and I turned around in surprise.

I discovered that the master had actually made her way up.

However, her lips were pale, but otherwise, she seemed fine.

She was dressed in a red gown, with the same dark red hair flowing down her shoulders.

"Why haven't you come to find me?" she asked, turning around to lean against the railing, with her head lowered, letting my blue hair float in the air.

"I feel sorry for you," I replied.

It was a problem that could be solved with telepathy, and it seemed like the master had indeed done so. After a moment of silence, she walked over to me.

"I couldn't have predicted what happened to Feli, it's not your fault. If he had genuinely surrendered to us, then you would have been the hero. As for the ambush in the hot air balloon, it's not your fault either."

"I didn't know."

It should have been a perfect day, but it became flawed in that way, ending with a dead man.

She touched the top of my head.

"It's all in the past now."

The evening breeze brought a chill, after so many days of sunshine, it was about time for rain.

It's good that the master doesn't blame me.

Now that it's all over, all I can do is make the future better, to make up for the past.

"Master, from now on, I won't think about anything else, I just want to end the war quickly."

That way, I can ensure the master's safety.

"It's best if you can think that way."

I turned my head and saw the master's brilliant smile, making the whole starry sky dim.

My heart started beating uncontrollably, and my cheeks turned red visibly fast.

Whether it's the ice queen or the serious face, the cool and aloof big sister or the gentle older sister image.

I still think, I like it best when the master smiles.

"Master..."

Thousands of words crowded in my chest, but not a single word could escape.

"Do you like me that much?"

"Mhm."

The master continued to smile, rubbing my hair, her eyes full of indulgence.

"After the war is over, let's go back to the capital..."

"Ah!"

I quickly jumped up and covered the master's mouth, under her perplexed gaze.

I blinked, controlling the overflow of emotions, pushing aside the overwhelming joy that wanted to make me cry.

It's better to talk about something else.

I dare not challenge this flag, even if there's less than a one in a thousand chance.
