Kapitel 82: Chapter 82: A new maid
Raynare's reluctant admission about Asia's arrival didn't come as a shock. It seemed she had finally run out of excuses and decided to spill the beans.
"Now, that wasn't so hard, was it?" I remarked with a smirk, feeling a sense of satisfaction at finally getting the information I needed.
Raynare let out an exasperated sigh, clearly eager to be free of our interrogation. "Can you let me go now? I've told you everything I know," she pleaded, her tone bordering on desperation.
"Let you go? Oh, I think I mentioned earlier that you're going to work as a maid under Yuri," I replied casually, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
Raynare's eyes widened in disbelief, a mix of shock and indignation crossing her features. It was clear that she hadn't expected such a fate when she set foot in our town.
I couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction. The idea of Raynare, a fallen angel, being reduced to the role of a maid was almost too amusing to bear.
"But don't worry, Raynare. You'll find that being a maid has its perks," I added with a mischievous twinkle in my eye, hoping to lighten the mood with a bit of humor.
Raynare's protests fell on deaf ears as Albedo, unable to contain her annoyance any longer, stepped forward with a menacing aura. "You worm," she addressed Raynare, her voice dripping with disdain. "You are given the glorious opportunity to become a maid of the supreme Being, and you're complaining about that?"
I couldn't help but smirk at Albedo's dramatic flair. She certainly knew how to make a point, even if it was a bit over the top. And judging by the murderous glint in her eyes, it was clear that she wasn't joking around.
Beside her, Yuri remained silent, her expression mirroring Albedo's annoyance. It seemed that they both shared the sentiment that Raynare's reluctance was unwarranted.
Then, with a deadly seriousness that sent shivers down my spine, Albedo turned her gaze towards me. "Allow me to end her pitiful existence, My Lord," she requested, her tone leaving no room for argument.
I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at her bold suggestion. While I appreciated her dedication to my well-being, I couldn't exactly condone murder of potential harem member, especially not in my own apartment.
"Let's not be too hasty, Albedo," I interjected, holding up a hand to forestall any further violence. "While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I think we can find a more... diplomatic solution to this predicament."
Albedo's expression softened slightly at my words, but the fire in her eyes remained undiminished.
It was clear that she was still itching for a fight, and I had to tread carefully to avoid setting her off.
"But, My Lord," Albedo protested, her tone pleading, "she's a weak fallen angel. She doesn't deserve mercy."
I couldn't deny that Raynare's actions had been less than admirable, but I couldn't bring myself to condone such extreme measures, either.
After all, I prided myself on being a fair and just ruler, even if it meant showing mercy to those who didn't deserve it.
What a gentleman I become.
"Let's give her a chance to redeem herself," I suggested, hoping to appease Albedo without resorting to violence. "Perhaps serving as a maid will teach her a thing or two about humility and respect."
Albedo's expression softened slightly at my words, though the fire in her eyes still burned brightly. It seemed that she was reluctantly willing to give my suggestion a chance, even if she wasn't entirely convinced.
"Very well, My Lord," Albedo conceded, her voice tinged with begrudging acceptance. "But if she steps out of line even once..."
"I promise, Albedo," I reassured her, holding up a hand in a gesture of peace. "If Raynare causes any trouble, you'll be the first to know."
With that settled, I turned my attention back to Raynare, who stood before us with a mixture of defiance and resignation in her eyes. It was clear that she knew she had no choice but to comply with our demands, at least for the time being.
"Raynare," I addressed her, my tone firm but not unkind. "You have been given a second chance. Make the most of it, and perhaps you'll find that being a maid isn't as bad as you think."
Raynare's response was a curt nod, her expression unreadable. It seemed that she had finally come to terms with her fate, whether she liked it or not.
As she followed Yuri out of the room, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.
"Now then, Albedo, I have something to tell you," I said, catching her attention as she stood there, her eyes still burning with determination.
"What is it, My... Love," Albedo responded, her voice softening as she succumbed to her affectionate tendencies.
Ah, Albedo and her unwavering devotion. It was both endearing and slightly overwhelming, but I didn't mind it in the least. After all, having someone as dedicated as Albedo by my side could certainly come in handy.
"Today, you will meet an important person of mine," I announced, watching as curiosity sparked in Albedo's eyes.
"An important person?" she echoed, her interest piqued. "Who could it be?"
I couldn't resist teasing her a bit before revealing the truth. "I'm not going to say who it is, but I'll just say that she's someone who holds a special place in my heart and she's the reason why I was able to meet all of you."
Albedo's eyes widened with anticipation, her excitement palpable. "Oh, I can't wait to meet her!" she exclaimed.
I chuckled at her enthusiasm, unable to resist her infectious energy. "I'm sure you'll get along famously,"
