Ever since maids came to the house, I finally found the Duargana vibe . Back when I woke up in the Imperial Palace of Duargana, I’d find maids going back and forth, busying themselves . However, they were prohibited from touching my food, as Mommy Vyvyan insisted on cooking for me regardless of how busy she was .
During the day, I ate with Mommy Vyvyan, while the maids cleaned the room and took our clothes for was.h.i.+ng . Next, they’d prepare our clothes for the next day . I must admit that, while life alone with Mommy Vyvyan was quite blissful and peaceful, it was sometimes lonely . With the beautiful maids now going back and forth, the house finally felt lively and warmer .
I sat on a chair in the flower garden, watching the maids go back and forth inside the house . Some maids were on the second floor, which was where our room was located, carrying bed sheets and hanging them out in the sun .
Honestly, I had never been to the villa; or rather, I didn’t remember it . Troy’s memories entered my mind after I used magic, but I couldn’t recall them again . It was as though I had a very realistic dream but couldn’t remember a thing after waking up .
After having lunch, Vyvyan and I sat at the table in the flower garden over some tea . Below was the place where Vyvyan personally planted a flower a few days ago . However, it wasn’t quite level . I felt as though I was stepping on two different surfaces . The s.p.a.ce under my right foot was tough as though there was a rock beneath .
On the small table in front was an exquisite tea and tea cups . The tea tasted nice nice . I had a small sip . The fragrance dispersed in my mouth . The taste made me feel a little nostalgic, but at the same time, it tasted a little foreign .
The tea wasn’t the sort of tea you could have at a tea house on the street . That must be why I have both nostalgic and foreign sentiments, I guess . I could still remember Lucia and me spending time on the streets and occasionally having tea with Mera . The tea we had then was a far cry to the tea I had at the villa . I felt nostalgic about the past for some reason, though . I wondered if the nostalgia was attributed to my encroaching death .
I looked at the clear tea inside, but all I saw was some steam . I looked up . I could seemingly see Mera’s gentle smile behind her black veil .
I was eager to go back to see my girls and hold them . I didn’t want to leave without a goodbye even if I had to die . I wanted to bid them goodbye before leaving even if I’d have to live with Mommy Vyvyan in the future . However, I needed to ask Mommy Vyvyan about it .
Ever since moving to the villa, Mommy Vyvyan’s gaze had always been on me . She looked at me with a caring and comforted look, triggering embarra.s.sment and shyness . That being said, it seemed a little creepy . With the serious way she looked at me, I doubt I had a chance to leave .
I picked up my cup again . Just as I went to have a drink, however, I suddenly heard a shriek overhead . Both Vyvyan and I were blindsided and bewildered . By the time we reacted, I suddenly felt something heavy smash into me . It was a very soft object and contained a scent I was familiar with . Whatever it was, wrapped me up and buried me in a warm darkness .
I struggled with all my might for a while . The sun and oxygen finally returned to me . I looked at the blanket I had thrown aside and looked up . I subconsciously pressed my hand on Mom’s at the same time I looked up, because I noticed Mom’s gaze turn exceptionally hostile and also the fluctuation of mana . If I didn’t stop her, the individual would probably have been killed already .
I saw the maid standing overhead was suspended in the air . I could sense the invisible hand holding her up . I quickly looked to Mom and anxiously said, “Mom, Mom, it’s all right; it’s all right . I’m sure it was an accident . Plus, it was just a blanket that fell down . It’s okay . It’s okay . She’s just a maid who slipped up . There’s no need to be so violent, is there…?”
“She dared to sneak attack you, Son . She tried to sneak attack you!” Mommy Vyvyan roared as though she was on the brink of madness . She strangled the poor young girl as though she wanted to snap the girl’s neck, and then reduce her to pieces by slamming her on the ground .
“No, no, I’m certain she didn’t plan to attack me . Mom, calm down! Who would attack with a blanket? She just happened to accidentally drop it when she went to hang it . It’s all right . It’s all right, Mom . Calm down . I’m not hurt, either . It’s all right . ”
Vyvyan stared at me for a long time before her blood-red eyes reverted black to blue . She slowly released the girl and placed her before me . The maid dropped to her knees as soon as her feet touched the ground . She looked deathly due to being suffocated . Additionally, her lips trembled as she knelt before me, but she was so afraid that she even forgot to cry . She was just a very ordinary elf . She was as ordinary as Luna was .
I didn’t know why but when I saw the maid kneeling on the ground, silently shedding tears, I was suddenly reminded of Luna, who I saved . The scene where I met Luna for the first time was the same as my meeting with this maid . Luna was tied up and thrown onto the auction platform to be freely touched as if she was a pig . Luna wore the exact same expression at the time . I saved Luna back then, and I felt I could save the maid now, as well .
I touched the maid’s head and, with a smile, tried to placate her: “It’s all right . It’s all right . I understand that you just dropped the blanket due to a slipup . I’m not angry, and you don’t have to worry about anything . I won’t be angry, so you don’t need to be nervous . Just be careful next time . ”
The maid’s gaze was still filled with terror, so much that she seemed unable to speak . I didn’t know how to comfort her myself . All I could do was stroke her head . I met with her eyes . She was practically a copy of Luna . I didn’t know why, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling that she was a shadow of Luna . I asked myself, “Why do I feel this way? Why do I still feel that Luna is by my side? Is it because I’m too broken hearted? Is it because I care about Luna too much?”
I didn’t know the answer to my questions, but I think I saw Mera in my mind for a moment . Perhaps people see scenes that bring back memories when they were about to die . Perhaps they remember people in the past and things in the past…
