We are at our second and final stop.
Port city New Hope.
Since we still have more than three days until the Golden Griffins fly over the island, masters decided to stop at this city for 2 days.
New Hope.
This city is called such because it was the first city ever conquered by Quas.
To Quas Empire, Port city New Hope signifies the beginning.
It was their starting point, the first place of invasion.
While its population is lower than the Capital, the Capital can't compare to New Hope's wealth.
I mean... I saw stairs made from jade earlier!
... Elder Sister Sand, is money really that important?
"Latifa! Latifa! What about this?" Miss asks me while showing me a bracelet made from white jade.
I quickly shake my head.
Nonono! There's no way a servant could wear something so extravagant.
"Then... What about this?" She shows me a sculpture of an owl from blue jade.
What I would do with that, Miss?!
"Then, are you hungry? What about the restaurant over there? It seems nice?"
Miss has been like that since we came here.
From food to clothes, from clothes to jewels.
She would present me something and ask me if I want it.
It was scary at first.
Miss with Demon face would hold a fluffy Teddy Bear before me and sing praises about how we look similar.
Seeing a Demon vigorously hugging a Teddy Bear, I couldn't help but chuckle.
I came to understand.
Miss is Miss.
Even if her face looks demonic to me.
Miss is Miss.
Therefore, I started trying to ignore that Demon.
While I can't ignore it completely yet, I can serve Miss like before.
... Probably.
The fact that I see a Demon instead of Miss's beautiful face didn't change.
However, Miss's movements look slightly happier.
When we were in the carriage, I felt that Miss wasn't feeling good.
But, it seems that her mood got better when we arrived at the city.
Although I can't see her expression through the Demon's face, I I can see her happily skipping around while holding a Teddy Bear in one hand and my hand in the other.
"Sister-in-law... H, how about letting us-" Prince Shiyu says timidly.
"No." Miss says straightforwardly.
"Mei Mei, how about a dinner? Just the two of us?" Prince Si asks Miss out.
Prince Si looks much happier since the bandit accident.
I wonder why?
"Shen or Teddy will gladly look after Latifa, right?" He says while smiling at the two.
"Of course. Miss Meira, I bet Latifa would really like to learn more about being a proper maid." Teddy says gently.
A proper maid...!
I clench Miss's hand unconsciously.
"Muuu... Does Latifa really want to be a proper maid that much? Your Miss won't mind if you stay just the way you are, you know?" Miss says sadly.
Uuu... Miss doesn't want me to go...
But, a proper maid...
Miss... Maid...
It's for Miss's sake, after all, yup!
I nod my head with a determined expression.
