Amelia knew her physical body would never perish, but she was certain her soul could be destroyed. So she had always scattered fragments of her soul. That way, even if her main body was annihilated, the other fragments would inherit her body and reunite with me at the right moment.
"And you..." Lu said slowly, "are the strongest fragment of Amelia’s scattered soul. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have gained her body and come to greet me at my call."
After her words, Lu sat on the bed, staring blankly at me as if waiting for my reaction.
Hearing this, I fell silent.
So that’s it… I see! Now everything makes sense, doesn’t it?
My superhuman abilities since childhood, the reason for suddenly becoming a girl, all the memory fragments flashing in my mind—they all had explanations.
"I… I am Su Nan, but I am also Amelia." I closed my eyes, recalling every memory fragment. After thinking for a moment, I opened my eyes and smiled faintly at Lu sitting before me.
I am Su Nan, but I am also Amelia. From my memories, I knew I was truly a soul fragment separated from Amelia the Phoenix. Yet I am not Amelia herself—I am only her fragment.
But I exist as a separate being. A single soul fragment isn’t complete, so Amelia used other methods to make her fragments whole, forming another individual.
Thus, my existence is independent. So I am both Su Nan and Amelia.
Now, I deeply realized one thing: I am Lu’s servant.
As a soul fragment from Amelia, my soul was deeply imprinted with her mission—to replace her in caring for Lu after Amelia’s soul was destroyed.
"Your Majesty," I said, slowly kneeling before Lu, "you can see me as Su Nan or as your maid Amelia. But no matter what, I am your servant."
From Amelia’s memories, I knew this cute little girl was the Demon Emperor. Yet by Demon Royal Family bloodline standards, she was far from adulthood. Her power was weak—especially after being sealed alone for a thousand years.
Whether from my own feelings or Amelia’s mission, I couldn’t abandon her.
"Sob…" Hearing my words, Lu let out a whimper, tears welling in the corners of her eyes. Then she lunged into my arms.
"It’s so good, really so good… Amelia, Amelia…" She rubbed against my chest, murmuring Amelia’s name over and over. Even though I was Su Nan, it didn’t matter now.
