Chapter 33
4 months passed in the blink of an eye .
In this time, Davis managed to breakthrough to the Energy Condensation Stage . Furthermore, he started training in some Battle Techniques as well .
He also managed to attain the Tyrant Physique, making him invulnerable to people who were still in the Bronze Stage . If he tried, he could also barely fight with Low Level Silver Stage Cultivators for a few seconds .
But he didn't feel happy about that, he missed playing with Clara . He would go see her sometimes, but she would quickly send him back . He was feeling sad for playing that prank on her . He thought that she started to hate him, so he stopped bothering her for some time as well .
He never had a sister before, so he didn't know how he should treat her in this kind of situation .
Today was his 8th birthday . He was feeling fidgety for some reason, because he knew that today was the day he was going to get his personal maid . They brought her a month ago but he didn't get a single chance to meet her either . She was likely trained by the castle maids during this month .
As an Earthling who had no choice but keep himself entertained, he sure had a lot of fantasies about maids . But when he knew that he was actually going to experience that, he was not sure of what to feel anymore .
He heard that she was bought from an auction and her story went like this, she was an orphan abandoned on the streets, picked up by people who train personal servants . She was brought up in life only to serve the people who bought her, so it didn't actually matter if the buyer was a degenerate or not .
Was he feeling happy? Sad? Even he didn't know that . He couldn't help feel sad for their fates . Atleast he got to break free from that prison of slavery .
"Prince?
"
There was a knock on the door, immediately followed by a girlish voice .
Davis was in the study, sitting on his bed . At that moment he suddenly got nervous for some reason . He calmed himself down before he answered .
"Come in .
"
The door opened and a girl at the age of 8 appeared .
She was around 50 inches tall, around the same height as Davis . Her neck length hair was pure black . She was dressed in a royal maid outfit . She looked beautiful with her almond shaped raven black eyes .
She nervously walked in and bowed in front of Davis .
"Master, from now on I am your Personal Maid, you can ask me of anything!
" She muttered softly and shouted and the end .
"Haha
" Davis hollowly laughed . He forgot his nervousness after seeing her being nervous .
"For starters, you could have told me your name
"
She cutely stuttered
"So…Sorry, Master . I am called Ellia .
"
"Right, Miss Ellia, could you please stop saying 'Master? Call me Davis, atleast when we are alone .
" Davis wryly smiled . He felt uncomfortable placed on a high pedestal by someone his own age .
"Mi . . miss Ellia? Your lowly servant doesn't require that much of an honorific, my Prince .
" She blushed .
Davis glared at her .
"Prince Davis
" She corrected herself .
Davis sighed . 'Looks like I should get used to my Status too . '
He realised that he cannot change her mentality so soon .
'One step at a time . '
"Alright, you said that I can order you around?
"
"Yes, Prince Davis .
"
"Hmm, let's play a game then .
"
"A game? What kind of game?
"
"I'll say something and you'll have to repeat that fast enough . If you can keep up with me, then I'll reward you fairly .
"
"As you command .
"
"Alright, let's start then .
" Davis glared at her .
"…Alright, let's start then .
" She quickly grasped the meaning of the glare and responded .
"Very good . Just like that keep up with me!
" Davis nodded
" . . Very good . Just like that keep up with me!
"
"Easy right? Now let's play this seriously!
"
"… . Easy right? Now let's play this seriously!
"
Their childish game went on about for 5 minutes . She grasped the game quickly and naively played with him like a child . She had a smile on her face, which atleast told Davis that she wasn't broken, like he was once .
"Man, I wish these bastards would stop ordering me around .
"
" . . Man, I wish these bastards would stop ordering me around .
"
She replied almost as fast as him . He can see that she was really getting into it .
"They're nothing but idiots who are placed on a high pedestal who deserve to die .
"
"… . They're nothing but idiots who are placed on a high pedestal who deserve to die .
"
"Especially that Emperor Loret, he is a **ing pig!
"
"… . Especially that Emperor Loret, he is a… **ing pig?
" She got really confused but chose to end the sentence . Then she realised to her horror that the words she muttered, was really blasphemous .
She dropped to the ground with a blank face .
"You! You dare to say that my Dad, Emperor Loret, is a **ing pig?
" Davis asked in disbelief .
Ellia had tears in her eyes
"No! But, my Prince, you are the one who asked me to repeat what you said .
" Her senses came back to her and she wasn't the one to give up silently .
"When did I ever say that? Look at this
" He took out a crystal from his side .
"Eh? An Imagery Crystal?
" Ellia recognized the crystal right away .
He injected his energy into the crystal, it then projected a video into the air .
Davis and Ellia could be seen playing and the audio could be heard as well . Just when Davis had said 'Okay, let's stop the game', she could also be seen to say the same sentence . After that it was just her continuously talking . The crystal was behind Davis, so only his back and her front can be seen .
"But… . no…no way
" She cried and shook her head in disbelief . She started to think that she had hallucinated mid-way during the game .
"This . . . I have to immediately report this to my Dad .
" Davis scrambled to get out of the Study .
"No! Prince Davis, please don't, please forgive this lowly servant!
" She knew that she will lose her life if word of this gets out .
"Anything but that! I'll accept any punishments, please punish this lowly one .
" She bit her lips and wasn't sure of her fate anymore . She thought that her life was going to be miserable starting from now .
"Hmm… Will you listen to my words then?
" Davis asked .
"Of course, Prince
" She replied as fast as she can, still tear faced .
"Then call me Davis .
" He said with a smile on his face
"Prince?
" Ellia was dumbfounded at this point, she thought that she will receive some humiliating punishment from her Master .
"Alright, I'm going to report .
"
"Davis!
" In a moment of haste, she shouted his name loudly and blanked out .
She then fainted after realising what she had done .
Davis laughed .
Actually he only moved his lips and sent her a Soul Transmission during the end of the game . So it seemed like he was still talking but he wasn't . Poor Ellia who had experienced the Soul Transmission for the first time, couldn't differentiate between the two communication methods while she was so absorbed in the game .
'A solid step indeed . '
