《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.

Adagio of the Enlightened
The Elders will tell you the stories and lore. Of our ancestors, their deeds, and of the foes of yore. They will praise to you the chariot, and how it flew to the stars. How it stole the sun's light and slew the night’s roar.The Shamans will tell you the tales of their wisdom. Their wars on schism, and the unlettered world of ours before. Perhaps they will sing you the songs of what our clans' ancient customs tore. Poems of how our ancestors took what the discs had offered them, the manna and the mundane, and made it more.The kings will tell you of the follies, the sins, and the anecdotes of all our ancestors' wrongs. They will curse to you their names, the Ender of Fate and the Ruined Song. How they had dug up the hearts of the discs, euchred its relics, and blasphemed its prophecies, with oracles withdrawn.But they will only tell you the legends, recount the myths, and sing the allegories washed ashore.The Elders, the Shamans, and the kings can only retell what the storytellers of their own time had voiced. What they have read in books or heard in the minstrels' songs they adore.They don't know what really happened. They were never there.They can't tell you how our ancestors slew the angels from the sky, and sent them back to where they belonged. How they poisoned our minds, and made our people slothful and feeble, with the reforms they had undergone.But I can.I can tell you how the Ender of Fate severed destiny's strings, weakened them, and weaved them to our feeble flesh and souls.I can tell you how the Ruined song razed the heavens with her blood-stained melody, and reshaped our hell into utopia, with the deaths she deplored.Because I was there. I can tell you the truth, with my virtue strong. ----> Disclaimer: This will be a slow-burn, character-driven, non-harem, slice-of-life web novel with cultivation and kingdom-building elements.
