《Kindred》Chapter 35 - Miss is Miss
Advertisement
We are at our second and final stop.
Port city New Hope.
Since we still have more than three days until the Golden Griffins fly over the island, masters decided to stop at this city for 2 days.
New Hope.
This city is called such because it was the first city ever conquered by Quas.
To Quas Empire, Port city New Hope signifies the beginning.
It was their starting point, the first place of invasion.
While its population is lower than the Capital, the Capital can't compare to New Hope's wealth.
I mean... I saw stairs made from jade earlier!
... Elder Sister Sand, is money really that important?
"Latifa! Latifa! What about this?" Miss asks me while showing me a bracelet made from white jade.
I quickly shake my head.
Nonono! There's no way a servant could wear something so extravagant.
"Then... What about this?" She shows me a sculpture of an owl from blue jade.
What I would do with that, Miss?!
"Then, are you hungry? What about the restaurant over there? It seems nice?"
Miss has been like that since we came here.
From food to clothes, from clothes to jewels.
She would present me something and ask me if I want it.
It was scary at first.
Miss with Demon face would hold a fluffy Teddy Bear before me and sing praises about how we look similar.
Seeing a Demon vigorously hugging a Teddy Bear, I couldn't help but chuckle.
I came to understand.
Miss is Miss.
Even if her face looks demonic to me.
Miss is Miss.
Therefore, I started trying to ignore that Demon.
While I can't ignore it completely yet, I can serve Miss like before.
... Probably.
The fact that I see a Demon instead of Miss's beautiful face didn't change.
However, Miss's movements look slightly happier.

When we were in the carriage, I felt that Miss wasn't feeling good.
But, it seems that her mood got better when we arrived at the city.
Although I can't see her expression through the Demon's face, I can see her happily skipping around while holding a Teddy Bear in one hand and my hand in the other.
"Sister-in-law... H, how about letting us-" Prince Shiyu says timidly.
"No." Miss says straightforwardly.
"Mei Mei, how about a dinner? Just the two of us?" Prince Si asks Miss out.
Prince Si looks much happier since the bandit accident.
I wonder why?
"Shen or Teddy will gladly look after Latifa, right?" He says while smiling at the two.
"Of course. Miss Meira, I bet Latifa would really like to learn more about being a proper maid." Teddy says gently.
A proper maid...!
I clench Miss's hand unconsciously.
"Muuu... Does Latifa really want to be a proper maid that much? Your Miss won't mind if you stay just the way you are, you know?" Miss says sadly.
Uuu... Miss doesn't want me to go...
But, a proper maid...
Miss... Maid...
It's for Miss's sake, after all, yup!
I nod my head with a determined expression.

Dust 2: A New World Order
It can always get worse… A new world order is coming, one that will pit one species against another. Life is about to become very hazardous—for anyone who gets in Dust’s way. With every day that passes, Dust is more afraid of what he will become. His powers are growing far beyond what he can predict, and he is reluctant to tell his make-shift family that he isn’t sure when—or if—it will ever stop. His goal is to get to Portland, Oregon and find his aunt and uncle. Ideally he would get there alone, because he’s far too much of a danger to the people around him, but they aren’t willing to give up on him, and an old enemy isn’t far behind. When they reach Portland, Dust discovers a line has been drawn between those who have been changed and the unchanged ones who want to control them. Can Dust protect his new family from being used or will the power within him become a force that will not only destroy his enemies, but the ones he loves?

The Dawnfire Archives
It begins in the endless wastes, with an unknown man arriving at the bottom of the tallest mountain in existence. A mysterious voice provides few directions, bringing more questions than answers. Regardless, after choosing a name and weapon... the man begins to climb. He will not be alone on this journey. A young individual from a different reality has also made his way to The Climb. But what does their arrival bode for the people of this world? And where does climbing the mountain truly lead? This is my second novel on Royal Road, the first being "Beyond the Horizon's Eye", and the third being "The Card Thief of Culnivar". This story is much more GameLIT than Xianxia, and takes place in a different setting with an entirely new cast of characters. It does, however, contain several ties between the stories. Average post between 1000 - 3000 words.

An Average American in A High-school Academy Anime
An American versed in narrative tropes and more than mildly acquainted with anime wakes up in a completely different bed than the one he went to bed in. Now he has to scramble to understand where he is, what's going on, and hope to God he isn't in a relationship drama. I don't expect this to be good or well-received, but I have plenty of time this quarantine, so I'll try to get a chapter of 4000-10000 words out every one or two weeks. (haha) Please let me know how it can be improved. I'm an avid reader of fiction, but I've never really fallen down a rabbit hole so hard that I can name all tropes and settings and such by heart. I'm not sure if this will be effective satire, so I preemptively apologize. Inspired by: "My Life is Not a Manga, or maybe..." by EO Tenkey and "The Simulacrum" by Eganthale. Check them out if you want probably better stories than this one.
