Do not judge a friend when he likes, but look at him when times are difficult. Because in difficult times, the original nature of humans will be seen clearly. Smiling I realized how true those words were.
Desperate and desperate for the Yggdrasil Seedlings, Roger signed their magic contract with me. He will also help me ensnare all the residents of the district in accordance with our agreement.
In other words, Roger has sold his soul and all those who believe in him, to a Devil like me. He threw away his pride as a human and became a slave to a “Daemon” like me. Haha, that's funny.
But I realized, Arthur didn't seem happy to see it. He simply fell silent and watched, ready to pull out his sword if needed.
“Why do you seem so upset, Artie?” my many.
Arthur, still unable to look me in the eye, also replied awkwardly, “... Since when did you.. turn into a liar like this?”
“Lying? How do you accuse me, Artie. I have a heart too. Even though I am patient, if accused of that, my heart can be hurt,” said I who ruffled waist in wonder.
“... Why did you intentionally let them hurt you and then make an unfair agreement?” asked Arthur to dismiss my drama.
I smiled, justice should not be in the dictionary of a Noctis.
“Hmm... Here's Arthur. The most powerful weapon in a negotiation is guilt. Combined with the miracle of forgiveness, guilt will make someone want to do a lot for you,” I explained as I glanced at Roger who was discussing with other youths,
“One-sided, sense of debt, although almost equal to ‘guilt’, has no use. You cannot expect others to repay your kindness, because the nature of man is reluctant to owe.
Therefore, I took advantage of the mistakes of those humans and made a comparable agreement, so that my relationship with the mansuia was only limited to business.
Arthur stroked his chin thinking, “Indeed,.. How much is the life price of the people of the district here, compared to the seedlings of the tree of life? For thousands of years they will not be able to pay for it,” said Arthur accusing me,
“You... plan to exploit them with false hopes, right?”
I smiled, “Whoa, your imagination is wild too. But baby, compared to your genius and good at maneuvering politics.I'm just a simple stupid girl, Artie,” I said who raised the child's chin and looked at him with my demonic eyes,
“... If you come all the way here just to find the figure of your mother in me, you will only be disappointed, Artie,” continued me who then released the child.
Arara, the children and their imaginations are there. Me, a liar? Where possible. I have promised to give Yggdrasil seeds to humans for their hard work. But I happen to “lupa” promised to tell you how to grow that tree.
Roger came up to me and said, “Mr Princess, it looks like Miss Doctor is visiting her patients at home. In a time like this, he.. does not like to be disturbed.”.
“Even by a Governor though?” ask me to fold confused hands, “Araraa, how great is that doctor so that he can not take the time for a VVIP?”
Roger scratched his head, “S-Since the nurses left him, Miss Doctor came house after house to run the practice. She's the only witch who cares about us. If there is no him, then of course we will die sooner and fall.”
“Hrmm, it looks like you guys really believe in your doctor yes.”
A female doctor, hmm? Not usually. I guess the medical world of Kinje is only held by masculine people. Seems like seven years of war and plague changed everything.
“If he won't come in front of me, what if I go to him?” I said.
Roger and his goons drove me and Arthur to where Doctor Oe was. All the eyes in the district looked at me, making me really nervous and embarrassed. Because, in their eyes, I looked like the leader of a parade gang, like in the shortsighted novels.
We also arrived at a multi-storey wooden hut that looked about to collapse. Faintly heard talk of the girl making a cool voice with a worried mother behind the door.
"Don't forget Mom, every two hours change the warm water compress. In addition, make it a habit to heat the water to boiling before giving it to Dik Verrel, yes" said the soft voice before saying goodbye to the mother who was very grateful.
A girl came out of the hut, surprised to see me in front of her. His tangled blackish brown hair was elegantly adorned by emerald-hued gold chondes. Konde is Pin Avalon which is a sign of a graduate of the medical faculty of the world's best University, Odinhall.
But why was he so surprised to see me? Did we know each other before?
“Are you the Moon Daemon that the rumors speak of?” my many.
“Who are you?” the doctor asked, but before he could answer his eyes glanced at Arthur and soared in shock,
“A-Arthur?… Jeez, where have you been all along? Lumina searched for you from last night.”
Hmm, how do you speak is very similar to Luciel?
Arthur scratched his head awkwardly, “A-Aaahh. But the point last night, if there was no Ma Dame Clair, maybe, I would not have escaped the Matrovska,” he said introducing myself.
“M-M-Ma Dame Clair, the White Witch?! D-Daemon who by itself saved the whole world with Yggdrasil Seed, but not sincerely and instead charge a fantastic price to make him the second richest person in the world?” lumina said in shock.
U-Ugh. It was also awkward to hear it directly. Well, how else, the Tree Seed was indeed very rare, plus, High Demand. If I sell it cheaply, I betray my identity as a merchant.
Besides, the money I'm rolling back in the form of educational scholarships, technological and agricultural development that bring a lot of good to the world. Well, even if I get more from that investment anyway, hehe.
“E-Ehem!” as then pat Arthur's shoulder and continue, “Let's put aside all the rumors. Moon daemon, I have permi—“
“It's nice to meet you Ma Dame, but sorry yes, I'm in a hurry. Many patients are waiting,” said Lumina cut me. Like a whirlwind, the doctor soon vanished from before me.
“A-Arthur, d-he b-b-just grabbed me, Clair, the White Witch? P-Witch who is able to ravage the world with just a snap of a finger?” i stammered.
“Your true nature seems to know,” said Arthur who shook his head, “Lumi was like a bullet. If he has a desire, he will try to make it happen and ignore everything else, including himself,” explained Arthur.
“You seem to know Lumina well,” my murmur.
“I made it.”
“E-E-Eh?? W-Wait a minute, you mean, d-he, and you.. Artie is a Papa? Whahuh? Wait a minute, mom-not that you've just seventeen? D-In other words, k-k-you've done it se-se—”
Arthur scrunched his forehead, “Your imagination went so far. I mean it, he is the Homunculus I created.”
I took a long breath, “Ooh so, so Lumina Homunculus yaa... I thought you were small already impregnating children people.”
Red ear Arthur who immediately knocked on my head, “S-Only!”
But, didn't Arthur create the Homunculus more amazing than my imagination? Seeing the arrogant boy now blushed in shame, reminding me of the figure of Mentari. It seems like the fruit did not fall far from the tree. Starting from a young age, Mentari has created many great things.
Compared to them, this terrible hand can only injure and destroy.
“Then, isn't it your duty to discipline your Homunculus, Artie?” I said.
“Ciplining? Lumi is already out of my control,” complained Arthur.
“A Noctis doesn't use many reasons!” I said the one who smiled grimaced and pulled Arthur, chasing after the Doctor who ran off somewhere.
