Maid Lotus wished to regain the same feeling they once had.
The Slave Huan then had progressed from always being on his guard around her, to conditionally co-operating with her, to eventually trusting her completely, albeit slowly and over a long period of time.
It will be the same this time, she thought.
She even felt that the present Dragon King had trusted her far too early. Not only had she been immediately assigned to protect him covertly, she even had the opportunity to take part in planning each plot of his.
As such, she witnessed wave after wave of people coming from all places to pander themselves to the Dragon King. She also saw Xiao Fengchai and Shopkeeper Lyu bow to his will, as all the others did, albeit with some resistance at first. They were willing to work for him now, and left harboring dreams of building themselves a huge business network.
