I don't want to be a dragon maid!

Noah looked at Shelley in front of her and felt more and more frightened than ever before. The Shelley in front of her was becoming more and more like the corrupted Shelley in her dream who was holding a kitchen knife.

Could that dream really have been a precognitive dream?

Noah had this thought out of desperation.

"Noah, why are you backing down? Can't we just talk this out?"

Shelley walked slowly toward Noah, and Noah could feel the cold wind emanating from her.

"Lord Shelley, yes! I'll talk! I'll talk!"

Noah sighed softly, her shoulders slumped, and she looked listless.

"I originally wanted to keep it a secret for the rest of my life, but it seems I can't hide it anymore now."

"Noah, tell me, what are you hiding from me?"

Shelley's eyes flickered, and she instinctively clutched her heart, saying with a worried expression.

"I actually had a dream yesterday, and after having that dream, I felt I had let down Lord Shelley!"

Noah said with a frustrated look on his face.

"A dream? What did you dream about?"

Shelley paused, her expression relaxed slightly, and she replied softly.

"I dreamt that Shelley abandoned me and left me all alone, and no matter how hard I chased after her, I couldn't catch up with her!"

Noah's eyes were filled with tears, and she said with a sad expression.

"Even though it's a dream, I just can't control myself, so I want to take better care of Lady Shelley..."

"So that's why you've suddenly been so nice to me?"

Shelley immediately understood. Her gaze remained unchanged, but the aggressive aura emanating from her naturally dissipated.

"I know Lord Shelley is very good to me, and having this dream is an insult to you, but I still couldn't help being scared, and when I woke up I found that Lord Shelley was gone..."

Noah wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and she became even more sorrowful.

"You're such an idiot, what are you thinking? How could I possibly leave you?"

Shelley gently tapped Noah on the head with a chopstick and said in a very soft voice.

“You are also a very important person to me... I should be the one who is worried.”

"Lord Shelley!!!"

Noah raised his head, knelt on the ground, looked at Shelley with teary eyes, and then reached out and gently hugged the petite body into his arms.

"Nonoya?"

Shelley began to stutter; she was somewhat flustered and wanted to push Noah away.

But Shelley suddenly felt something wet on her neck, and Noah's body was trembling slightly. She immediately realized—Noah was crying!

Noah, who seemed so strong and invincible, revealed his vulnerable side.

Shelley bit her lip, her face softening as she gently stroked Noah's long silver hair and softly comforted him.

"I'll stay right here, I won't go anywhere, I'll stay by your side..."

Noah was indeed crying, he was indeed shedding tears, but not out of fear other than Shelley's; rather, it was out of ecstatic joy at surviving a catastrophe.

Based on his usual combat instincts, Noah felt that Shelley had almost turned to the dark side just now.

Noah dared not imagine what this girl would become if Shelley were to completely turn to the dark side!

No matter what, Noah will not have a good outcome!

Fortunately, Noah reacted quickly and escaped the crisis.

After all, Noah did deceive Shelley; she just didn't tell the whole story. If she had told Shelley that the reason Shelley abandoned her in the dream was because of the long line of concubines behind her, then...

That scene must have been incredibly horrific!

Hearing Shelley comforting him, Noah was overwhelmed with guilt.

My Lord Shelley! I was young and ignorant back then, and I wished to have a harem. I will definitely find a way to remove this wish. Please forgive me!

Noah silently told herself that this was the only way she could alleviate her guilt.

The two embraced for a while before slowly separating.

Shelley stepped aside, her cheeks flushed, and looked at Noah with a strange light in her eyes.

"How does that make you feel a little more relaxed?"

"Lady Shelley, I feel much more relaxed."

Noah felt a pang in her heart, and her smile became somewhat stiff.

"Really? That makes things much easier, that's good..."

Shelley looked very happy, and a genuine smile appeared on her face.

"Noah, you can just tell me about these little problems in the future. I'm not a petty person, and I can understand and accept these little secrets."

"it is good!"

Noah gave a wry smile.

"And... I can swear to you... in the name of Shelley Brenda."

Shelley hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered her courage and spoke.

"I won't let go of your hand as long as you don't let go of mine!"

Upon hearing this, Noah was stunned. Looking at Shelley, who was standing in front of him with a serious expression, he felt a complex mix of emotions, and his guilt welled up and turned into tears on both sides of his cheeks.

"Noah, is it necessary to cry?"

Shelley looked at Noah and tears streamed down her face. She said with a hint of helplessness.

"No, I just..."

Noah wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile.

"Me too, I will not let go of Lady Shelley's hand."

"Is that so? That's good... I mean, as your master, I will not abandon you. I have no intention of confessing my feelings to you, not even a little bit."

Shelley smiled gently again, but she quickly recovered and reverted to her previous haughty demeanor.

"Yes, Lord Shelley, how could you possibly have taken a liking to a maid like me!"

Noah said calmly.

"Ah, no, that's not it either... I actually have feelings for you..."

Shelley quickly responded, but looking at Noah, she felt embarrassed.

"Hahaha."

Noah couldn't help but laugh when she saw Shelley's adorable, smug yet conflicted expression.

"You stupid maid, what's so funny!"

Shelley lightly punched Noah's chest and said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"It's nothing, I just remembered something happy. There's a bathhouse at the foot of this mountain, Lord Shelley, shall we go together?"

Noah revealed a gentle expression and spoke slowly.

"Lady Shelley needs to change too, so let's go take a bath together."

"Taking a bath...Noah wants to take a bath with me?"

Shelley looked at Noah and quickly asked.

"Of course, as a maid, I must clean every inch of Lady Shelley's body!"

Noah mimed rubbing her back as she spoke in a serious tone.

"You perverted maid, you didn't actually think I'd agree to that..."

Before Shelley could finish speaking, she met Noah's sparkling eyes.

"Is it really not allowed? I just wanted to repay Lady Shelley by helping you clean yourself, is that really not allowed...?"

Noah looked at Noah with an expectant expression, revealing a pitiful look.

"It's not impossible..."

Shelley looked into Noah's eyes, sighed, and said hesitantly.

"Great!"

Noah clenched his fist and shouted.

"But you can only wash for ten minutes, and then you must separate immediately after the ten minutes are up!"

Shelley looked at Noah and said earnestly.

"Yes, who am I? I am the most honest and upright all-around maid, Noah Loran!"

Noah said with a righteous expression.

"Ten minutes it is, I, Noah, will not interfere!"

So what's your real thought?

Shelley asked.

"I'm going to the bathroom! I'll use my superb skills to make you forget about time, hehehe... Ah, this!"

Noah realized what was happening and quickly covered her mouth, an embarrassed expression on her face.

"You perverted maid... you really don't know how to stop, aren't you afraid I'll refuse you?"
