“Faeyna!”
If they could have heard my voice, surely everyone there, even the deaf old man, would have turned to the window and glanced at the crazy person watching them. As her na echoed, the face of the woman standing next to the old man started to gain more details. Her ears, her blonde hair, her gentle smile, Faeyna appeared right there.
“W-wait… Maid hero?”
It was true that Faeyna was a maid, but what did that have to do with any level of heroism? She was Faeyna, just Faeyna! She was also in the Ost Republic. No, I didn’t know where she was. Eliana was looking into it, and the Demon Lord Aberis hadn’t been forthcoming, even using information about her as an attempt to distract . However, if she killed herself, then… that bastard! The Demon Lord Aberis knew she was dead, and still, he tried to use her as a bargaining chip?
The realization that the dungeon Maid’s Lant had always been about another maid had thrown my mind into disarray. I didn’t even know how to think at the mont. Why would she kill herself? Was it because she didn’t want her body wasted? Her life had been plagued with people pressuring her to have a baby. However, she had her entire species, one about to go extinct, to think about. Once I died and she fell into Aberis’s hand… did she lose all hope and kill herself?
I had been so caught up in everything that I had missed the next few things that were said. I refocused on the scene in front of to see Faeyna shaking her head.
“I’m sorry, but my master depends on …”
“Don’t be so quick to turn down. Nothing is holding you here anymore. You served your debt to your mother, and as for your master, I am willing to pay quite a fee. He will get the care he needs in his final days of life. After their golden boy died in that tragedy all those years ago, the main family has all but collapsed. You alone have maintained these territories for your ntally declining master. If you give yourself to , then I will assure his lands will be protected for the remainder of his life, and you will find a purpose with .”
“It’s just… I don’t even know you…” She responded uncertainly.
“What’s there to know?” He demanded. “I am the last suitable elf male. I an no disrespect, but your options are limited.”
“Unless…”
“Unless?”
“Maybe… a human?”
“Human?” He sneered as he stood up. “You wish to make the sa mistake your brother did? Is there a human you love?”
“No, there isn’t…”
He grabbed her arm, his expression turning dark. “Who is he?”
“There isn’t anyone!”
“Then you wouldn’t reject !” He snarled.
“Hey!” A shout ca from the window next to mine, causing to jump and turn to see another guy there. “Don’t you understand when no ans no?”
He turned to , winked, and then jumped into the room. I punched the invisible wall, feeling like he was taunting . Of course, the man that appeared was none other than Faeyna’s brother.
