--Dragon Nation- Sealed City--
Sighing deeply beside the bed, the little nun wiped the slight sweat from her forehead as the holy light gradually dissipated.
"You've worked hard, Thia." Nova, sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened her eyes imdiately after. Her usually majestic dragon eyes now held only tenderness as she looked gratefully at Suthia, who had been healing her.
The little nun shook her head, then took off her boots and climbed onto the bed, sitting shoulder to shoulder with Nova.
"Nova, do you know? I feel especially happy right now."
"Uh-huh, being by master's side, I also..."
Before Nova could finish, Suthia interrupted her, "No, no, no, it's not just because of master, but also because of you. I feel like we're back to the beginning, able to be together like a family."
"Ever since everyone established their own nations, I've felt that we've beco distant and unfamiliar with each other. Although the environnt was tough in the past, and we might have faced countless battles every day, we were always together. But 500 years later, it's beco so difficult to even see each other."
"So now, being able to sit face-to-face and side-by-side with you on the sa bed, I feel incredibly happy!"
Nova looked at Suthia's sparkling eyes beside her, touched her sea-blue hair, and said helplessly, "I've always been in Dragon Nation for the past 500 years, Thia, You could've co to see anyti, just like Lena."
"Hmph, back then, you were the infamous tyrant empress. How could a little nun like dare to see you? After all, I'm not like Lena, who has that kind of relationship with you! Right! So! Good!"
Hearing Nova ntion a certain succubus, Suthia pouted and deliberately elongated the last few syllables.
"No, actually, my relationship with Lena isn't that close," Nova said a bit frantically upon seeing Suthia react this way.
"Really!?"
"Really"
"I don't believe it! Unless you let check your body properly again, just in case Lena did sothing strange to you, so I can report it to my lord!"
Nova: "…"
"Thia."
"Hmm?"
"Why do I feel like you're more of a succubus than Lena?"
Perhaps because Renji was present during their previous 'card ga', Suthia underestimated her own strength.
Now, without Renji, after the little nun examined Nova alone, the result was that while Nova herself was still fine, Suthia, sitting beside her, couldn't straighten her back. Nova felt she had to take back her previous comnt about Suthia being more of a succubus.
'At least Lena's strength probably wasn't that low, right?'
"Nova, what do you think Master Ashen is doing right now? Did he find Zero yet?" Suthia, out of breath, couldn't help but think of Renji.
"I don't know, but I think it should be soon."
Nova, also starting to miss her master after being bothered by the little nun, sighed softly.
" Lord Ashen said that Zero is dreaming. Nova, do you think she... dreams about us?"
"Maybe?"
"I also... think so. Actually, even though Zero talks the least among us, if we really count... she probably understands each of us the best, even... better than we understand ourselves."
Regarding Suthia's sentintality, Nova didn't deny it: "The life of an intelligence species is constantly observing the world, and we are the people Zero has had the most contact with, naturally being observed the most by her."
Following this topic, Suthia suddenly thought of sothing and sat up abruptly from the bed, no longer out of breath.
"Wait! Oh no, Nova, you said that since Zero understands us so well, she might intentionally exaggerate our flaws in her dreams and sar us in front of master!"
Nova glanced at the little nun, who was now anxious about her saintly image being tarnished, and couldn't help but comfort her, "Don't worry, Thia, I think your innocent image in Master's heart is already gone."
Suthia: "..."
"Thank you for your comforting words, Nova…"
"You're welco."
"Heh, don't be too proud, even if you are spotless now, what about before you t master? I certainly don't want master to know about things from before that ti."
'Before eting master Ashen?'
Nova was taken aback by this, but quickly thought that with the abilities of 'dream' and Zero, it wouldn't be hard to recreate scenes from the past, so she...
Seeing Nova also becoming nervous and awkward, Suthia had a look of "I told you so" on her face.
Then the nun sighed, her eyes flashing with mories. She looked at the ceiling, as if speaking to Nova and to herself, "Before I t master Ashen, I was taught by my parents to be a good person who helps others, because only by trusting and helping each other can we overco difficulties together. But in reality, I was deceived, used, and betrayed by many 'good people.' Nova, you might not believe it, but in the end, I was utterly disheartened. I thought, maybe I misunderstood. My parents didn't say there were many good people in the world, but that the world was full of bad people."
"So I thought, in a world full of bad people, why should I be a good person? Or as a good person, should I eliminate them? After all, what's the point of a world without good people?"
"Thinking back now... I was really lucky. Just as these absurd thoughts began to sprout, I fortunately collapsed at the doorstep of master's gathering place. After eting master, I finally understood my parents."
"They weren't ignorant of the fact that there are more bad people in the world, even all bad people."
"But they insisted I beco a good person, not to be deceived by those '99%' bad people, but in case I t that '1%' good person who could change my life, I... wouldn't miss it."
"As for what happened after..."
"After being with master, I realized my parents were even more right. There are indeed more good people in the world because even if there are bad people, they will be turned into good ones by master"
While Suthia was lost in her mories, Nova listened attentively.
Only after the nun finished speaking and let out a long breath, did Suthia co back from her distant mories. Nova then spoke with a hint of regret, "Thia, you should tell master these words personally, he would be very touched."
"No, no, how could I say such things to master?"
"That's a pity."
Nova looked regretful, then pulled out a small notebook from beside the bed and began to write and draw in it.
