11: The Birth of the First General-Master of Elzatineos

Prince Ryann looked at me.

Yeah, it'd be stupid if I came all the way here just to rescue Elna but in the end it's nothing. Until I get what I want, there's nothing I'd be afraid of but losing someone I love truly loved!

"Elicya, that's--..." Medlan tried to give me a warning. But...

"Very well." Prince Ryann nodded while glancing at King Fannel.

"Let her go." I don't know why did he say that while smiling. I know that smile is full of evils.

Without any further, they brought Elna to me. I grabbed Elna's arm.

"Now, shall we go?" Asks Prince Ryann to me.

Really? Do I have to go with him? How about my normal life? I looked at Medlan and Shina.

"Father, mother. I..." Before I finished my word, Prince Ryann cut me off.

"Yvoultsine family, I will borrow this little lady." After he said that, he dragged me away. Of course I'd also bring Elna along with me. And, the three of us leave B country.

"I don't want to be your maid."

I looked at Prince Ryann after saying that.

"Then, what?" He asked.

"I want to have my life just like before we met." I answered.

"No, once you get involved with me, there's no turning back now." Says him.

I was silent. And stopped walking.

'What the hell is he saying?'

"From now on, you life remains mine." He looked at me. Soft as I looked at him.

No words. Just looking at each other.

'Now, that's what he said. I have to give up on running away from him.'

"Don't worry, I will give you everything. A status, money, home, servant? Just name it, and I will give it to you." Prince Ryann smiled.

...

'Why would he goes so far for me? Not letting me go...'

What I should do now...?

"Tell me, what you want." He looked at me.

I looked at Elna. She looks a bit nervous.

"I am your maid. So.." I'm inhaling.

"Raise my status, and make me your only general-master." I said it. He stunned. And smiled.

"Follow me." Prince Ryann just walked straight. Elna and I followed him to his palace.

As he sat on the throne, he summoned everyone there to gather. So all the workers, the maids, including the imperial guards follow his order and gather there in front of him.

"Get ready for the next event, a nomination for my general-master." He said.

And all of them do as the second prince ordered to.

"My lady, is it as you really as you wish for?" Asked Elna as she came near to me. I smiled to her.

"Yes..." I answered.

"You can choose the room for your own. But I'd prefer yours are next to mine." Said Prince Ryann while grinning.

'Next to him?' I looked at the second floor.

"... Okay..." Just looking at him, I know, he'll never back down on his decision.

*****

It's been a week since I've being pointed as an S-Class General of Elzatineos Palace. There are many tasks I've completed, so it's my routine to solve the problems even it's not a big deal for Elzatineos. I asked Prince Ryann to let me have Elna as my personal maid like my usual life as the daughter of Yvoultsine.

"Elna, how is my parents doing?" As I took my gun, I look at Elna.

"They're doing fine, the young masters too, My Lady." She has always exchange letter with the butler of Yvoultsine in order to know the information in that house.

I nodded. And told her to rest more. Then I prepared for some training and went to the training base.

"Yeah, you know I don't really like her."

"Who're you talking about? Our current general?"

"Now that you mention it, she came out of nowhere and then became our leader."

"What about our corporal? He's skilled too but how come His Highness chose that woman to become our leader?"

"It doesn't seem they're acquaintance or something."

Lately, I've heard many gossips about me becoming the general in this palace. Still, it doesn't bother me but I feel like it's my routine to listen to the craps.
