How can you become stronger if you don't build up bonds?

As soon as Lin Wei sat down, Tina stopped eating.

She looked at Lin Wei nervously, then glanced at her new clothes twice, as if afraid that Lin Wei would turn angry.

After all, this demon said that he and Lady Luya, the blue-haired deaf... were not on the same level.

After Lin Wei left in the morning, Tina felt extremely sad at the thought that she would have to serve this devil like a slave from now on.

The devil's house was large and empty, but there were hardly any ordinary cleaning maids.

Doesn't that mean I have to do all the rest of the work myself?

The thought that her magical circuits had been completely sealed filled Tina with despair.

Working like this... you'll be exhausted!

Suddenly, all the flowers and plants around me lost their charm.

Around 10 a.m., the maid from the morning suddenly ran over and said that the so-called lady wanted to see her.

Tina followed him with a sense of trepidation. Little did she know that the next few hours would become one of the most unforgettable moments of her life.

"Madam... I am merely His Highness's maid..."

"I know, she's a personal maid."

……

"Madam...would you please teach me cleaning skills first..."

"Cleaning is something you can just do casually; let's focus on making ourselves beautiful first."

……

"What's Tina's birthday?"

"My birthday is... oh, it's today..."

"Then we have to eat lots and lots of cake today. As long as we eat enough cake, we'll never forget our birthday!"

……

It took Tina quite a while to realize that this was the Duke's mansion.

Then she remembered the intelligence she had gathered before.

The Duchess came from a large family called Broland, a family that had been severely harmed by the Duke and his son.

Laura is this lady, and her current situation is very similar to mine; both of us have been held hostage by demons.

Therefore, Laura is a very good person.

She still has that feeling of a mother...

…………

"I didn't even know it was your birthday today." Lin Wei forked a piece of meat in front of him and put it on his plate.

The devil did not turn against them.

Laura and he seem to have a pretty good relationship.

Sure enough, kind-hearted people like Laura are easily deceived by demons...

Seeing that Tina didn't reply, Lin Wei continued:

"If you're nervous here, then I'll go eat out."

"I'm not... I'm not nervous, I'm eating—"

Tina quickly grabbed two pastries and stuffed them into her mouth.

That despicable demon, trying to toy with people's hearts again!

You're trying to put Laila in a difficult position this way, indirectly ruining the atmosphere between Laila and me. Do you think I can't see through it...?

I'll make sure you don't get your way!

What is that stupid white hair thinking about again?

Lin Wei turned his head, wanting to see how Lai La would react.

As a result, Laila looked at Lin Wei and Tina with a completely maternal smile.

—They're not the same. Little Tina and Luya are completely different.

—That's great. Lin Wei doesn't only like girls like Luya. A person favored by the gods should have a variety of wives and concubines to accompany him!

With Tina around, the Duke's mansion will definitely be more interesting than before!

After a quiet lunch, Lin Wei spoke seriously, "Tina, I'll be going to that place later. Do you want to come with me?"

"...?"

Tina looked up while biting into a piece of bread, but quickly, she automatically understood what place it was from Lin Wei's eyes.

Bread with teeth marks fell onto the plate.

"What are you going over there for?" Tina suddenly became very alert.

"I went over there to pick someone up. I only asked because it's your birthday today," Lin Wei answered truthfully.

Tina scrutinized Lin Wei's expression repeatedly, and after confirming that she couldn't see any ulterior motives in him:

"I want to go..."

Tina's mood began to sink, and her eyes drooped.

Even though no trace of their home remains there, and her parents' bodies are not left there, Tina still wants to go there on this special day to remember them.

"OK."

Laila was focused on feeding the cat and didn't join in Lin Wei and Tina's conversation.

It's quite normal for a girl who can be taken home by Lin Wei to have a complicated background.

After lunch, Lin Wei led Tina to Green, who was napping in the garden.

Green simply yawned and pointed at Tina a few times in the air, and in a short while, most of the seals on Tina's body were released.

Feeling the magical circuits within her body gradually becoming clearer, Tina showed no joy. Instead, she subconsciously began to retreat away from Lin Wei.

"No... I don't want to sign a slave contract..."

"No one wants to enslave you, Luya. Hand over your luggage to Tina. From now on, you will be my sister, and Tina will be our personal maid."

Lucia blinked and obediently handed the packed package to Tina. Inside were daily necessities for three people and a bunch of emergency magic scrolls.

Lin Wei did not intend to disrupt Lillian's training plan. According to the original plan, she was supposed to stay near the Lyca Ruins for a day or two.

With the Giant Wind Eagle, a super vehicle, Lin Wei could actually go back to his hometown to sleep every night, but that would lack the sense of adventure.

As for the currency needed for spending money outside, the few large gold coins Luya carries in her pocket should be enough.

If you don't have enough, just buy one or two magic scrolls. In short, you'll never be short of money.

After confirming that Tina was alright, Lin Wei asked Green to change his hair color to the same deep blue as Luya's.

Unfortunately, the black hair and black eyes of the Kreddy royal family are too conspicuous in China, making them easily recognizable.

This was a piece of cake for Green; with just a flick of his finger, Lin Wei transformed into a handsome young man with blue hair.

"It looks strange, Your Highness. Black hair suits you better."

"No problem, black hair is the ultimate hair color!"

Seeing that Lin Wei had started chatting with the white-haired, white-bearded old man, Tina finally believed that Lin Wei would not enslave her.

At the same time, she also discovered that she was completely unable to generate mana.

"I won't give you any mana for now. Of course, if you have a reason to use mana and are prepared for the worst, I can get you some in an emergency."

Lin Wei left the matter of mana points at that.

Tina didn't understand what Lin Wei was saying at first, but when Green Zero Frame made a move and suddenly let out two eerie laughs, it instantly alerted her.

"unnecessary!"

After the magic circuit was unsealed, Tina felt her body begin to feel as light and full as before.

She assessed the distance between herself and Lin Wei, deciding that if she had something that could be considered a weapon, she could stab him...

No, I can't think about these things. This demon definitely has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. If I really anger him, my fate will be a hundred times worse than death.

Having witnessed the terrifying strength of the old man beside her, Tina dared not attempt to attack Lin Weisheng in any way.

Seeing that Luya and Tina were ready, Lin Wei began to silently recite the Giant Wind Eagle Summoning Magic that he had recently mastered.

Less than a minute later, the giant wind eagle Fengliu landed on the open ground nearby.

"Set off!"
