Before Meredith could speak, he asked her questions instead.
Meredy could not answer.
She froze in place. This was not like her at all. It was as if a small thorn had pricked her heart.
When I came to my senses, I realized that David had stood up and moved to the edge of the execution platform.
He was obviously seriously injured and would not live long even if left alone, so why was he still able to stand up?
"I'm sorry, I can't answer what my little sister wants to ask."
He staggered and took another step back towards the abyss of death.
But his eyes are bright and lively.
"But I believe that one day, humans will be able to live under free will."
"Free will?"
For a moment, Meredith was unable to understand the meaning of those words, as if they were an unknown language.
Davi was spitting blood. He was clearly at his limit, but he still smiled.
"Little sister, you also want to live in laughter, right?"
"ah--"
Davey relaxed and fell backward, plummeting toward the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
It's like I drew the end myself.
It also seemed to be to prevent Meredith from carrying out the execution.
A cool breeze blew, and the execution platform was empty. For a long time, Meredith could only stand there in a daze.
From that day on, Meredith spent more time in contemplation.
She still had her duties to perform, but she began to talk to sinners a little bit. She would listen to what they had to say, even though it was not necessary for her to know.
Meredith didn't understand why she wanted to do that, but through talking to the sinner, some kind of emotion seemed to accumulate in her heart.
A man was born in a northern lakeside town. He loved the lake deeply and was grateful to some kind of creature that lived in the lake - that would be a sin.
A merchant transferred medicine to an injured demon, and the demon was very grateful to him. They developed a friendship that transcended race - that was a sin.
A mother, heartbroken for her son who was drafted because of his talent, pleaded with him to at least wait until he came of age - that would be a sin.
A young man with animal ears and a tail—that would be a sin.
Are those...really sins?
Of course, there are some sinners who really deserve to be punished, but are their sins really so serious that they must die?
I can't have such doubts. Everything is "absolute" because I am a member of the Lassen family.
Even after convincing herself in this way, the doubt that had arisen in Meredith's heart that day continued to grow.
Until one day, a new maid came to Meredith.
"My name is Belle. From today on, I will be responsible for taking care of the young lady's daily life. Please give me your guidance."
The new maid saluted in a ladylike manner. Her red hair was tied back with a ribbon, and her face was very pretty, giving the first impression of being a beauty.
"Why send a new maid to her?" Colt replied to this question:
——Miledy is about to turn ten years old and should learn the necessary manners for a person from Lesin.
In a few years, it will no longer be like now where the current head of the family will be responsible for mediation. Miledi must deal directly with His Majesty the Emperor and relevant personnel of the Church as a member of the Lassen family.
Although Belle was born to a concubine of an imperial noble, her family background was clean and her manners were excellent, so Colt had someone introduce her to him. Colt appointed her as Milady's maid and tutor, hoping that his daughter would learn from her.
Meredith had neither the right nor the reason to refuse.
However, now that she has more time for contemplation, not only does she have to take etiquette classes, but even her daily behavior must be elegant. Therefore, a maid who is ordered by Colter to monitor her 24 hours a day makes Milady feel a little annoyed.
Having said that, after a month of getting along, Mireidi fully understood that she was an excellent teacher.
She always observes the etiquette of a lady. Although she gives people the impression of being a little too serious, she is also a woman full of temperament.
Mireidi also naturally developed the manners and temperament of a lady.
And she had another advantage - even if she was by her side 24 hours a day, she would not interfere in Meredith's affairs.
However, sometimes she would look at Meredith as if observing her, which made Meredith feel uncomfortable... But she was a teacher after all, and it was natural for her to observe her students' actions, so Meredith had no choice but to give up.
Even though she felt that her eyes were not like those of a teacher observing a student, they both treated it as work. There was no reason for Meredith to get close to her, nor was there any need to think too deeply about it.
The day after Meredith made this conclusion about the new maid.
Belle was rarely around, and after finishing her work, Meredith returned to her room. Without thinking, she opened her door and then...
"Oh? Xiao Mi, welcome back to your room~~ You're so hardworking even though you're so young. Thank you for your hard work~~"
She was greeted with a very frivolous greeting.
The person who spoke was the lady teacher Belle, and this exclusive maid was enjoying the cake alone.
And she actually called Mireidi "Xiao Mi"?
"..."
"Huh? That's weird? What's wrong with Mi-chan? The expression on her face seems to be saying, 'The teacher I thought was so kind has changed, and I don't know what to do.'"
"..."
Belle smiled a happy smile that Meredith had never seen before and that she would never normally smile. She looked like a naughty child who had pulled off a successful prank.
Then, after the shock wore off, Meredith felt...
"Hey, hey~ Xiao Mi? Xiao Mi! Xiao Mi with those springy cheeks! Answer me~ Belle will cry out of loneliness~~"
She is very annoying.
Belle hooked her arm around Meredith's shoulders and poked her cheek with her fingers.
Since she was born, no one had ever dared to be so rude to Meredith. Meredith was furious, but she didn't know how to deal with it.
In short, this was rude behavior. Although Belle was also from the imperial nobility, he was the son of a concubine after all, while Milady was the daughter of an earl, and the influence of the Lesin family was even greater than that of an ordinary earl.
So no one is allowed to poke her cheek with a finger.
"Do you want to be executed?"
Meredith seemed quite flustered and accidentally blurted out what was in her mind.
When the executioner clan said this, they were not joking.
Belle herself didn't care.
"What? You're serious now. If you have small breasts, your mind will be narrow too."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
The reason for the first roar in my life was the size of my breasts.
Incidentally, Belle's breasts are incredibly majestic, not like a hill, but a peak. No, they're practically a "Divine Mountain" level.
Meredith was still a child, so of course there was a gap between them. Even so, she would still get angry when someone said that. She might even be surprised that she had such a sense of femininity.
"Angry! Little Mi is angry!" Belle let go of Meredith, as happy as a ranch owner seeing a newborn pony stand up.
Meredith took a deep breath to calm herself down.
"Is that your true nature?"
"That's just my nature."
Belle's expression was extremely proud!
Meredith told herself to hold it in!
"I don't know what you're up to, but do you think you'll be alright after such rude behavior?"
"I thought I'd be fine!"
Meredith activated gravity magic! Belle was pressed to the ground, which was covered with a plush, luxurious carpet. She actually looked quite comfortable.
"what's on your mind?"
Meredith wearily lifted the spell and glared at her. Belle lay on the carpet, looking at Meredith with a smile.
"I want to be friends with Xiao Mi."
"..."
Meredith heard the incomprehensible words again.
"I've been observing you for the past month, and the result is that I like you very much, so I want to be friends with you. Is that weird?"
Should she just laugh it off? No one had taught Meredith how to react in such a situation. The Lassen family had no way of dealing with such a situation.
Meredith fell into a state of turmoil never before experienced.
"Xiao Mi, come here anyway, you see, it's very comfortable."
As soon as she finished speaking, Belle lay on the ground in a spread-eagle position and patted the empty space beside her.
Did she realize that she was being extremely disrespectful to the "daughter of the executioner clan"? She should have immediately expelled this maid who was incompatible with the Lassen family...
"Hehe, come on, Xiaomi."
"Don't call me Xiao Mi."
Before she knew it, Meredith had staggered to her side.
Then, as if her thoughts and feelings were separated, Meredith lay down on the ground.
Although it was on a soft carpet, it was the first time for Milady to lie on the ground. As a daughter of a noble family, this was an impolite act that she could not do.
however--
"How was it? Unexpectedly comfortable, right?"
For some reason, Meredith felt resigned and ignored Belle's question. At the edge of her vision, she could see Belle looking at her with a gentle smile, and Meredith felt an indescribable strange feeling well up in her heart.
https://img2.lght.pics/jsYp.jpg
Meredith turned away, not looking at her.
That being said, she made a new discovery.
——It feels very refreshing to lie on the ground with your body spread out.
Belle had behaved very disrespectfully, but for some reason, she neither punished her, nor drove her away, nor even reported the incident. Meredith continued this incredible relationship with Belle.
As long as she was with her, Meredith could not keep calm. Her emotions, which had been calm before, became turbulent.
For example, when Belle is not alone with Meredith, she is both a perfect lady and an excellent maid.
But sometimes, even when others are present, she will secretly reveal her true nature.
Once, when Meredith was listening to Colter's orders, Belle, standing beside him, took advantage of the moment his gaze was averted to make faces and even gave a thumbs-up sign, nearly giving Meredith a heart attack. Such irrelevant and provocative behavior nearly made Meredith want to cast gravity magic on her.
Another time, she was eating dessert in Meredith's room, saying that she had bought it herself...
Meredith ate the dessert and discovered it tasted like the seasoning of the Lesin family's chef. She'd stolen the dessert and lied about it, so Meredith used gravity magic to restrain her and devoured the entire dessert right in front of her. Her expression of despair was truly delightful.
Perhaps out of revenge, one day Belle gave Meredith a book, claiming it was a popular romance novel in town. Because Belle kept recommending it, insisting Meredith must read it, it was very annoying, and Meredith had no choice but to read it...
Unexpectedly, the content was a pornographic novel, and a very exciting one at that.
"Xiao Mi, can you share your thoughts? How are you feeling now? Tell me, Xiao Mi. Xiao Mi has read the whole book attentively! How are you feeling now? Answer me, answer me." Belle teased Milady who was trembling shyly on the bed.
Of course, Meredi punished her with gravity magic.
As she continued to live like this, Meredith found that she had changed a lot.
Although I can't describe it specifically, if I had to say it, my heart became "relaxed", or perhaps it should be said that it became "softer".
It was two months after Meredith learned of Belle's true nature that she was convinced of her change.
In the morning, when Belle was combing Meredith's hair, Meredith suddenly saw herself in the mirror.
The person in the mirror had a relaxed expression, with a hint of sleep in his eyes.
Meredith was astonished.
Is this me? When did my expression become so relaxed?
