“Nana!!!”

Elena’s clear voice reverberated through the quiet night.

She suddenly opened her eyes, her blood-red eyes dyed with terror.

The night sky was covered by the large trees, the weaving branches induced nightmares. Elena cried out and suddenly sat up, she took deep breaths but found it hard to breath, her heart beating nonstop.

“What’s wrong?” A familiar voice came from next to her.

“N-nothing…”

Elena nodded and turned to look at that handsome blond youth.

Caesar sat near her gently stroking the sword on his lap while staring in a daze into the darkness. The other pink-haired girl lying next to him was in a deep sleep curled next to him, completely undisturbed by Elena’s yell.

After tonight, tomorrow was the last day of the competition, Loran Academy had already entered deep into Despair Forest, so night watch became ever so important. According to the map, they should reach the silver vault during lunch tomorrow, as long as no one gets in their way.

Caesar only asked out of concern, but never intended to go over and comfort her. He remained seated at his spot, Elena could understand that was probably because he was royalty and she was Lin Xiao’s maid. Since her master wasn’t here and it was deep into the night, he had to maintain a distance from her.

“Nightmare?” Caesar asked.

“Un.” Elena nodded.

“That name… no, never mind.” Caesar was about to ask, but felt that it wouldn’t be right. He shook his head and stopped speaking, pretending as if he never said anything.

Does he not want to speak out of turn? Elena had thought.

That’s good as well, since he didn’t talk to her, she could have some time to calm down.

Yes, she had a nightmare, she dreamed that both her niece and Snow were in danger. Snow said that she would protect Elona, but she herself was in trouble as well.

Was she just overthinking it? Snow was the Saintess, Elona should be safe with her.

“Huuu…”

After a couple of deep breaths, Elena finally calmed down. She tried to shake off her anxiousness and get back to sleep, but she couldn’t and kept tossing and turning.

“Sigh…”

She sighed and sat back up, extremely agitated.

“Do you want to talk? It seems that you’re very anxious.”

“There’s nothing to talk about.” Elena firmly rejected him, but after thinking about it, and since she couldn’t fall asleep, she might as well, “Caesar… if you think that I was worrying about Lin Xiao, then you’re wrong. It doesn’t matter whether he’s dead or alive!”

“But I didn’t say you were worrying about him… why are you in such a hurry to deny it?”

“… No, okay.” Elena pursed her lips and felt like she said something wrong.

“Nana… is she a close relative?”

“Did you hear that? Un, I guess so, I dreamed that she was in danger… no, that’s not it!” Elena was about to talk about her dream but remembered the background setting Lin Xiao had for her, and that she shouldn’t have any relatives, so she quickly corrected herself, “I-I was just suddenly reminiscing the past, I…”


“Elena, you can’t lie.” Caesar suddenly interrupted her.

“What?”

“You’re not like Lin Xiao, I can never tell when he’s joking or being serious… but you’re different.” Caesar stared right at Elena, “So, you’re not a noble lady from a fallen household, and your background setting was all fake, right?”

“…” Elena didn’t say anything.

Lin Xiao was only gone for a day or two and she already clumsily exposed herself. Since she couldn’t do anything but welcome his gaze and unyieldingly asked, “So what?”

“Nothing, I just wanted to say what I was thinking. Who you are has nothing to do with me, I just know that you’re Lin Xiao’s maid and that’s enough.”

“Oh, so?”

After that, there should be more right? Otherwise, why else would Caesar say so much useless stuff?

As expected, Caesar paused, then continued on.

“You’ve been anxious these past days, it’s out of worry for Lin Xiao, right?”

“I just said, I’m not worried about him! Please don’t get it wrong.” Elena frowned as she replied.

“Is that so? But like I said, you’re not good at lying.”

“Tsk…”

She hated his conceited expression.

“Caesar, is it strange to you that I, as a maid, am not worried about my own master?”

“Yes, extremely so. I always thought that you guys had a very good relationship.”

“Sorry, but you might be blind.”

“Do you hate him?”

“Yes.”

“If your background setting is fake, then you aren’t repaying a debt. So why are you his maid?”

“Tsk… do you have a problem with that?” Elena couldn’t respond to that and could only forcefully respond, then disdainfully ridiculed, “Prince Caesar, don’t forget, the person Lin Xiao likes is your fiancée! He’s already confessed to her more than once, and I’m only following him because of some circumstances. I’ll leave after the competition!”

“Oh, after the competition is it… okay”

Caesar wasn’t angry after being told off, he just nodded and started speaking about something else.

“To be honest, when Rosie told me that Lin Xiao liked Shen DaiYing, I was really surprised.”

“Watch your fiancée, otherwise she really will get stolen by that pervert.” Elena continued to taunt him.

“No, I was surprised at Lin Xiao’s attitude.” Caesar lowered his head and looked at the sword on his lap, staring into empty space, “He wasn’t like this before.”

“Before?”

“Yeah, before you came. I remember that Lin Xiao used to live a decadent lifestyle, he had no motivation to do anything. I couldn’t feel any zeal for life from him. He never talked to anyone and was always depressed. If he wasn’t from the Eastern tribe, I wouldn’t even remember the name of that kind of trash.”

“Oh, really?”

Depressed and lifeless? Elena felt like there had to be something wrong.

Although Lin Xiao wasn’t anything great now, he was still incomparably lazy and just wants to live aimlessly, but he definitely wasn’t depressed or lifeless.

“Elena, after you appeared, he changed.”

“Tsk, so what? He went from depressed trash into perverted trash?”

“No…” Caesar scratched his head and didn’t know how to express himself, “I can’t explain it, but… I just don’t get it, if it was Lin Xiao from before, would he confess to my fiancée? Would he even dare?”

“Eh?”

Elena was surprised listening to what Caesar said.

Although she’s never seen what he was like before, but based on Caesar’s description, he rejected any human interaction and didn’t even want to live, so how could he like someone else? Just confessing to a girl would take a certain amount of bravery and self-confidence.

How could someone like that confess to a superior princess? He even kept chasing after her after being rejected twice.

“Elena, I don’t know what your relationship with Lin Xiao is, I just know that he changed because of you. So I’m guessing that he must have got something from you, even if it isn’t the master servant relationship you so vehemently reject, there’s something else.”

He got something from her?

Elena almost laughed out loud.

When did Caesar learn to say stuff like this, did he learn from Rosie?

Elena never remembered giving anything to Lin Xiao.

She was just forced to be his maid.

She just unashamedly showed him her real stuff, and let him know what kind of a haughty Demon King she was.

She just stayed next to him, fought with him, poisoned him, and purposely made trouble for him.

She just couldn’t kill him due to various reasons and sometimes gave him a hand, and often had a strange tacit agreement between them.

Elena couldn’t understand what Lin Xiao could get from her?

Trust, they didn’t even have the most basic principle of trust between them.

He grandly confessed to Shen DaiYing in front of her, twice. He even left her behind in a crucial point of the competition and ran off to secretly meet with Shen DaiYing. But now he said she was the one who changed Lin Xiao, isn’t that too laughable?

“Caesar, you…”

Elena wanted to retort but noticed that Caesar didn’t plan on continuing the conversation.

“Sorry, I said something strange. I hope you don’t mind, just pretend I was sleep talking.”

“Tsk… finish what you were saying!”

“I’m already done. I just talked about that to make you forget about your nightmare, there was no other meaning.”

Perhaps that was his chivalry, seeing as how Elena calmed down, he didn’t say anymore and lied down to go to sleep.

“I’m counting on you for the last watch, good night.”

Without waiting for her response, he already started snoring.

Thanks to Caesar, she did indeed forget her nightmare. But she thought of someone even more detestable!

“That guy…”

Speaking of Lin Xiao, he was already sleeping with his lover, right? She didn’t know what Shen DaiYing saw in him, but if it was her, she would have already butchered him!

But she wasn’t Shen DaiYing, and Shen DaiYing wasn’t her…

Perhaps there was some strange tacit understanding between them. Other than this proud kitty, there was another worried and anxious youth.
