Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

But upon closer reflection, it seems I'm currently working as Roswaal's maid...

So Ram fell silent.

He silently retracted his thought that Rem was luckier than him.

At the same time, she was also a little unhappy.

A stranger I've known for less than a week is trying to take my sister away?

To make matters worse, she had personally brought this stranger back to the mansion.

Ram tried to remain calm, and his tone remained indifferent:

"Rem, are you really sure about your decision?"

"You've only known him for a week, you don't know him well yet."

Rem did not answer.

She simply lowered her head, her face beaming with an undisguised smile and blush.

Just now, she finally decided in her heart what name to name her future child with Subaru.

Seeing her sister's expression, Ram realized that she was powerless to change the situation.

She silently closed her eyes, her heart seemingly kneeling on the ground, letting out a desperate cry towards the empty corridor.

But when she opened her eyes again, her expression remained calm.

"Then I wish Rem happiness."

"Thank you sister."

"I wish you happiness."

"Ah."

"You must be happy, okay? Promise Ram you'll be happy..."

Rem was happy about her sister's 'sincere blessing'. She bowed to Ram and turned to go to her room.

She didn't notice that Ram was still standing behind her, her smile gradually freezing.

……

Rem returned to her room and immediately sensed something was wrong as soon as she closed the door.

She looked up at the window.

The window was not closed.

A night breeze blew in from outside, gently lifting the curtains.

Rem walked to the window and looked outside.

It was already completely night outside.

Instead of closing the window immediately, she sat on the edge of the bed and looked out the window.

Reflecting on the day's experiences and the changes in my own mindset.

They also began to seriously consider what they needed to take with them after leaving the mansion.

How many sets of clothes should I bring?

Do I need to bring a maid outfit?

If Subaru really becomes the lord, will I still need to wear a maid's uniform to serve him?

Or perhaps Subaru actually likes maid outfits...

Thinking of this, Rem's cheeks began to burn again.

Should I change into an outfit that's more suitable for traveling?

What kind of clothes would Subaru like?

"Rem, Rem...you need to act as normally as possible, otherwise Subaru will easily get bored..."

She covered her face with her hands, trying to calm herself down.

Just then, a strong scent of the Witch Cult silently approached from behind her.

An inconspicuous moth fell from the roof.

As soon as its wings folded, its shadow on the ground suddenly swelled.

The next instant, a petite blonde girl appeared behind Rem.

Capela raised her hand, preparing to touch Rem's neck.

The Oni race was created in search of the witch.

Rem's body tensed almost instinctively, and she immediately realized something was wrong.

Her hand instinctively reached for the meteor hammer.

Just at this time.

The starlight outside the window flickered silently.

The door was opened at lightning speed by someone for some unknown reason.

Just before Capella's hand was about to land on Rem's snow-white neck, a hand landed first and gently patted her shoulder.

"Baby, don't look back."

The black-haired boy's voice rang close to Capella's ear.

"I am your master!"

Upon hearing this voice, Capella and Rem stopped in their tracks, their minds simultaneously screaming in alarm:

'What!'

Capela was surprised and astonished.

Rem, on the other hand, was more shy than surprised.

Is it... Subaru-kun?

Rem slowly opened her eyes.

She quietly loosened her grip on the meteor hammer handle.

Although the strong scent of the witch still lingers...

But Rem's vigilance was largely dispelled by the voice whispered in her ear.

It's getting late, and the sky outside the window is full of stars.

Why did Subaru arrive at Rem's room at this time?

What do you want to do?

He even claimed to be Rem's master and told Rem not to turn around...

I wonder what he was thinking about.

Rem's cheeks quickly flushed, the heat spreading all the way to her ears.

Is Subaru really that impatient for Rem's answer?

Rem's breathing became more and more rapid as she went down...

Or was it that he was already convinced Rem would agree, which is why he came to find her under the cover of night?

Although Rem was pleased that Subaru had guessed her thoughts, but...

No...no, no...

Subaru's injuries haven't healed yet...

Rem should turn around immediately and let Subaru go back to rest first.

Although that's what she was thinking, Rem's body remained frozen in place, her heart pounding fast and hard, and she couldn't help but hope that Subaru would get a little closer behind her.

Rem could only do her best to suppress the restlessness in her heart.

She couldn't imagine it.

If Subaru were to hug her from behind at this moment, and whisper in her ear again in the same voice, "I am your master,"...

How should she answer?

Or rather, how should we answer this?

Even though I haven't officially agreed yet, I can't even find the words to refuse in my heart.

Does Subaru want Rem to perform the duties of a servant tonight, doing things that only he can do after becoming Rem?

No!

Rem's sanity was brought to a halt once again.

Subaru is still seriously injured, and his condition has only just stabilized. How could he do such a thing?

But what if Subaru insists?

Rem, Rem...

Her breathing gradually became rapid, and her hands unconsciously gripped the hem of her skirt, her fingers subconsciously resting on the buttons.

With just a gentle tug, it can...

Capella, standing behind Rem, didn't share Rem's complicated feelings at all.

She slowly turned her head, her slightly surprised purplish-red eyes looking down at the black-haired boy who had appeared behind her almost instantly.

He asked in surprise:

"They actually found out?"

The voice of a third person?

Rem then suddenly came to her senses.

She turned her head and finally saw Natsuki Subaru's figure clearly.

The boy's face was still pale, his chest was wrapped in thick bandages, but his right hand was firmly on the shoulder of the blonde woman who had appeared out of nowhere and was reaching out to Rem as if to do something indecent.

The woman's face clearly showed surprise.

Rem's cheeks turned completely red at that moment.

The repression she had just felt seemed to have all flowed into her sense of shame.

She wished she could find a place to hide immediately.

But the next moment, Rem noticed Subaru's pale face and the bandages on his chest that were faintly bleeding.

That bit of shame was quickly suppressed by stronger emotions.

Subaru had just woken up from a near-death experience, and his heart injury was not yet fully stable, but upon discovering an intruder in the mansion, he immediately dragged himself to save her despite his condition.

He didn't even check his own situation first.

Rem's fingers trembled slightly.

Subaru... why did you come here?

Wouldn't that make Rem a burden to you again...?

Natsuki Subaru did not answer, but instead solemnly instructed:

"Rem, close the gate, extinguish the lanterns, and don't disturb the night watch dogs."

Natsuki Subaru stared intently at the blonde girl in front of him, as if a fiery flame were dancing within her.

"Tonight, under the starry night, I will tame this beast."

Capela slowly turned around.

She glanced at the hand resting on her shoulder, then at Natsuki Subaru's pale face, and the surprise on her face gradually turned into boredom.

"I was originally planning to put on a good show for you."

She deliberately dragged out her words, her tone filled with blatant malice.
