Chapter 896

Royal City, Borztutt's house.

Sean quietly went out and dealt with the young Demon Dwellers that were attacking him. Then, he quietly came back and was not discovered by anyone.

At least, the knights, servants and maids who were patrolling in the mansion and the garden did not find out that Sean had just gone out.

Sean returned to his room, as if nothing had happened, and prepared to leave the room.

However, just as Shien was about to leave, someone spoke up.

"Welcome back, Master."

The calm voice made Sean freeze in his tracks as he was about to leave the room.

Shien slowly turned around and looked at the corner of the room. Then, he saw a familiar figure.

Long, black, waist-length hair.

Slim, slim body.

Scarlet, gem-like eyes.

A neat maid uniform.

Surprisingly, it was La Xia.

After leaving Borztutt's house and being taken away by Lésia, La Xia had returned.

Furthermore, it was still as elusive as before, without any signs or aura.

"… When were you here?"

Although Shien was used to it, he couldn't help but ask.

His big sister's answer was very powerful.

"When Master needs me, I will be there."

La Xia replied calmly.

Shien's mouth twitched.

It wasn't his first day knowing Hua Xia, so he knew very well what she was implying.

According to her theory, as long as she was a qualified maid, she would always be by her master's side, waiting for her master's call.

In other words …

"You want to say that you have been here since the beginning, right?"

"Yes."

"But when did this' beginning 'begin?"

"When Master was still sleeping."

"… I didn't need you back then, right?"

"No, you did."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because when I was about to help you change and dress up, you carried me to the bed."

"…"

Shien was speechless.

Well, it wasn't the first time anyway, so it didn't matter, right?

It was said that he had once slept with this maid in front of him while he was in a state of deep sleep.

Although Sean had once doubted the authenticity of this matter, he could no longer have any confidence in his integrity after the experience of having sex with a succubus in his sleep.

Therefore, Shien only wanted to know one thing.

"I … I didn't do anything too excessive this time, right?"

"Indeed."

"That … that's good …"

"I just hope that Master can finish faster next time."

"Finish faster …!?"

"Yes. Otherwise, my mouth will feel sore."

"…"

Big Sister, can you explain it clearly? What did you do to make your mouth feel sore?

It shouldn't be the things that I'm imagining, right …!?

Shien opened his mouth, wanting to ask, but in the end, he gave up.

He no longer had any hope in his moral integrity.

(The above was also the inner roar of a certain author whose update time was getting more and more unstable.)

Then, Shien walked out of the door with his shoulders slumped in frustration.

La Xia immediately followed him with a calm expression as if nothing had happened.

The master and maid walked out of the room together.

Along the way, many knights and servants who passed by immediately showed deep respect.

"Good morning! Big Sister! "

"Good day! Big Sister La Xia! "

"Big Sister La Xia! Good morning! "

"Big Sister! Good morning! "

The people greeted her excitedly and worshiped her.

"Good morning."

La Xia nodded, her expression still cold.

"…"

Walking in front, Shien felt like crying.

I'm the master here!

Why didn't he greet me, but greet my maid instead!?

What about me?! What about me?!

How could I be ignored by you?

"Sure enough, in front of the perfect head maid, even the strongest master is destined to lose his dignity."

Shien realized this.

After La Xia's return, he, the hero who was revered and worshiped by thousands, seemed to be losing his position again …

This was ridiculous.

However, it could not be helped. Compared to him, the master of the house who often went out to fight powerful enemies outside the capital, La Xia, who displayed all kinds of amazing maid skills at home, undoubtedly had more opportunities to show off in front of others. It was only natural for her to become the acknowledged big sister of Porztutt's family.

Moreover, La Xia's return had indeed brought about visible changes to Porztutt's family.

First of all, be it the interior of the mansion or the garden outside, they had become as beautiful and clean as a paradise.

The maids, servants, and even the chefs' work efficiency had been greatly improved under La Xia's instructions and guidance.

The food in the house had also been upgraded by a few levels. Even the knights' stomachs were treated like nobles' three meals a day.

Even the criminals that were brought out from the underground prison of the palace were easily captured by La Xia.

They only had fear and dread for Shien.

However, they only had love and respect for La Xia.

Initially, when Shien found out about this, his feelings were extremely complicated.

However, the return of La Xia not only made everyone happy, but even Shien himself was overjoyed.

After all, even though she was often frightened, La Xia's ability was impeccable and perfect.

With her around, Shien did not have to worry about many things.

Just like now, La Xia reported some news to Shien as if she had seen through Shien's thoughts before he could speak.

"Today, the Imperial City has been attacked four times. The scale of the attacks was not large. Other than the appearance of the young demon just now, the other three attacks were easily stopped by the Royal Knights and were successfully dealt with.

"The refuge area opened by the palace has been officially completed. Now, the refugees have been gradually moved over under the palace's arrangements.

"Due to the rapid increase in the number of people and the difficulties in the business operation caused by the war, the Imperial City is now experiencing a shortage of resources. The palace consultant who is in charge of the herbs needed for the accelerated growth of magic potions has begun to turn to the accelerated growth of crops and plants. Even the Flying Dragon Legion has been sent out to capture wild beasts and monsters in the wild to increase the meat supply.

"According to the current situation, the Imperial City's food shortage should not occur immediately. A conservative estimate is that it should be able to sustain a normal life for a whole year."

La Xia reported to Shien about the current situation and the latest news of the Imperial City during the war.

Shien did not know where the maid got this information from.

In any case, Rosie had already reported several times that La Xia's news came faster than the kingdom's intelligence agency. She could not help but bring up the idea of taking La Xia away.

Unfortunately, Her Highness did not succeed.

It was not because Shien rejected her, but because La Xia said calmly, "The person that Miss Rosie asked me to serve is only Master.

"The only person Miss wants me to serve is Master. Master is my current Master."

That was what happened.

About a month ago, not long after the war officially began, La Xia returned to Borztut's house.

She brought a piece of news to Shien.

"Miss Rosie has officially transferred my ownership to Master. From now on, Master is my only Master."

At that time, when Xiang Xia said those words, her expression was not as calm as before. Instead, it was filled with a gloomy and sorrowful expression that was hard to believe.

She told Shien that Lésia disappeared after the battle in the Imperial City. She did not know where she went.

Then, La Xia found out that her ownership had been transferred by Lésia.

It was not a verbal transfer, but a magical transfer.

All magical beings had their own Master, and they could not disobey their Master's orders. This was the nature of magical beings, unless their ownership was transferred.

After that, La Xia's ownership was transferred to Shien.

In other words, Lésia had abandoned La Xia.

"What is that Miss Rosie doing?"

Sean could not figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

He wanted to look for Lésia, but Lésia did not seem to be in the Imperial City, or even the Kingdom.

Shien could not leave the Imperial City.

In the end, this matter was left unsettled.

La Xia also returned to her normal state the next day, as if nothing had happened. She did not care that her Master had become Shien, and resumed her work in Borztutt's house.

Shien was worried about La Xia, but he did not know what to do. He could only put this matter aside for now.

Shien looked at La Xia with an inexplicable gaze.

"What is it? Master? "

La Xia stopped reporting and looked at Shien quietly.

"No, it's nothing." Shien shook his head and muttered, "I'm just wondering if you are forcing yourself."

To Sean's words, Xia Xinyan gave her own response very calmly.

"Master, you think too much." Hua Xia said indifferently, "Although I don't know Eldest Miss's intentions, I believe that Eldest Miss definitely has her own thoughts."

This was not just about trust, but also about the connection between the two of them that determined their fate.

She (La Xia) was actually her (Lésia).

She (Lésia) was also her (La Xia).

Both of them came from the same source. They were both the remains of the Demon King, the pure body of the Demon King.

This determined that the relationship between the two of them was not as simple as master and servant. It was not as simple as the relationship between a creator and a magical being.

"I believe that sooner or later, I will see Eldest Miss again."

La Xia quietly said.

Shien looked at La Xia and smiled.

"Even if she comes back, I won't necessarily transfer your ownership back to her."

It was unknown if Shien was serious or joking when he said this.

After all, he was the master of La Xia. This could not be changed.

If it was the current Shien, La Xia would not be able to resist his orders even if she wanted to.

This was a magical being.

But …

"It's okay." La Xia also stared at Shien. For some reason, she said, "Between you and us, there is also a connection and relationship that cannot be explained by master and servant."

At this time, Sean still did not know what this sentence meant.

But he had a feeling.

That was, the truth might not be far from him.

There would be more things to happen between him and this pair of twin sisters, master and servant.
