"So, when you put it that way, my role is more like a nanny, isn't it?"

At this thought, I couldn't help but mutter quietly to myself.

Strictly speaking, an adult Phoenix's existence isn't much lower than that of a Demon Emperor. Serving as a servant to the Daughter of the Demon Emperor and a Demon King is quite unreasonable. But why Amelia became Lu's head maid... I couldn't find that in the memory fragments.

Moreover, I still vaguely feel like I've forgotten something. The more I think about it, the more it feels off.

"Never mind. I'll stop overthinking and just focus on taking care of Lu for now."

I stood in the kitchen, wearing an apron and cooking breakfast. In spare moments, I glanced at the memory fragments again. After pondering briefly, I decided to drop it.

"But speaking of that... I still feel a bit uncomfortable... Tch, I guess I really need to buy new clothes?"

When I had a free moment, I suddenly felt a slight chill. The clothes I'm wearing don't fit my current body well. The top hugs my chest tightly, sometimes making it hard to breathe.

Also, I realized Lu only has the simple dress she's wearing now. So I made a decision.

"After breakfast, I'll take Lu out to buy some clothes."

I muttered softly, then carried the cooked breakfast to the living room.

"Lu, breakfast is ready."

After placing it on the dining table, I called to my room. But Lu didn't reply.

After waiting a moment, I took off my apron and slowly walked back to my room.

*Snore... snore...*

Just as I expected, Lu was already sprawled on my bed, fast asleep.

Looking at her adorable sleeping face, I raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled. I walked over and crouched by the bed.

"Lu, wake up. Have breakfast first, then sleep more."

I reached out and patted her head gently.

"Mmm... Breakfast is ready? So fast?"

Lu let out a cute sound. She slowly opened her eyes, stared at me blankly, rubbed her eyes, and said sleepily, "Really? Weren't you energetic just now? How'd you get sleepy so fast?"

Looking at her, I smiled and pinched her little cheek. "Mmm... Didn't you, Amelia, say I could sleep more whenever I'm sleepy..." Lu mumbled, eyes half-closed.
