Chapter 954 His Color
Being born into royalty, Fiarra had been basked by respect and praises of everyone. Little did she experience setbacks as everything was prepared for her. Be it her clothes, food, and many more. All was prepared, she only needed to grab and walk them away.
No one had ever treated her like this. He wanted her to be a maid? A personal one at that? She wanted to complain, but she couldn't. After all, she was who needed something.
"It's totally fine if your pride cannot take it being a maid," Jin Rou chuckled, "It's not like I'm forcing you to be one. Just that, the deal is off. Furthermore, you said you will give anything right?"
It was already nice of Jin Rou not to pursue her words. Nevertheless, it was still unbearable for her.
"Do I really need to be a maid?" Fiarra bit her lip.
"That is my terms." Jin Rou responded.
"Fine." Fiarra bit her lip and surrendered. She was already here, and she wasn't sure if she could get another man of this level again. Besides, she was already running out of time, "I'll do it. I will be your personal maid."
Jin Rou smiled, "A bit indecisive in this part, but pardonable. Okay, I will be in your care from now on."
After that, the two searched for an inn to stay. Since the journey towards Dalensale Town was exhausting for Fiarra, they had to rest first before going to somewhere.
The receptionist of the inn was flabbergasted as she saw someone of Fiarra's level of beauty. Since Fiarra had never appeared in the public, only a few knew of her actual appearance. In any case, Fiarra paid for the most expensive room and the two stayed there for the night.
Fiarra was getting used to her maid duties. Currently, she was giving Jin Rou a shoulder massage while his feet was soaked in warm water. Jin Rou was satisfied with the service, albeit very inexperienced.
In the past, Han Li used to use beautiful maidens to be his maids and Jin Rou was following the routine. You could say that he was merely imitating Han Li's actions since he was in his body.
While he was being massaged, Jin Rou asked, "Your kingdom has produced three emperors in the past. With your grandfather as the latest emperor, right?"
Hearing this, Fiarra nodded and smiled, "Young Noble is very knowledgeable. Indeed, our kingdom has three emperors and my grandfather is the third."
Thousand Elf Kingdom was a powerful lineage that was ruling the entire Dalensale Land. Under them were hundred thousands of clans and sects and whatnot. A lineage that produced three emperors and one was still present signified its power and authority that no one would be able to hinder.
Many tried to seize their throne in the past, since the desolate epoch. But with their years of history and their sturdy foundation built in the land, no one was successful. In fact, even foreign powers tried to but they eventually failed.
"It seems you cannot trust anyone in your race right now." Jin Rou assumed, "With your status, many elven families might have extended their intentions for marriage, but since you cannot trust anyone there, you chose to find a suitable candidate outside of nobility."
It's not like Fiarra hated the men in nobility. However, she couldn't trust them especially when she was able to see their real colors.
"Young Noble, I know you have noticed it. That my eyes have the ability to see colors of a person." Fiarra said. She was still massaging him while speaking.
"Crestglow Elven Eyes." Jin Rou said.
"Yes, I have the Crestglow Elven Eyes. So, I can see the colors of someone. And those men in nobility have all the same color, black." Fiarra explained, "The Black Color defines a person's personality as someone evil and ruthless. Someone who will not hesitate to kill for his own good."
It was the sole reason why she declined the proposals of the other elven families no matter how strong they were. She didn't want to marry someone who was evil beyond saving.
"How about me, what color have you seen?" Jin Rou was intrigued. For sure, Fiarra saw his color. After all, he didn't intentionally hide it.
"Your color, Young Noble, is strange." Fiarra recalled the time in the carriage when she was observing Jin Rou, "You have the color black, gray, and white blending with each other. That's the first time I have seen those colors together."
The three colors were coexisting with each other, and not fighting out who should be the victor. It was an spectacle for Fiarra thus she kept stealing glances during the time.
Black was evil, White was savior, and Gray was neutrality. All of them were existing in Jin Rou and she couldn't explain how was that possible.
Jin Rou smiled and said, "But aren't you bothered that I still have the black color?"
"I will be if that's the only color you have, Young Noble." Fiarra answered honestly. She was speaking from her heart, "But I know you are more than that."
Jin Rou smiled and didn't talk more. He was enjoying her soft massage. It had been a while since his muscles had relaxed this much.
Fiarra looked at Jin Rou and couldn't help but smile for some reason. He was scary at first but when you were on his good book, you were bound to receive benefits.
After a few hours, Jin Rou woke up by the lap of Fiarra. It was the first time he had a decent sleep after coming here. Though he didn't need to sleep due to his power level, his mind was a lot clearer now compared a while ago.
He got himself up and looked at the window. The moon was up there bright and illuminating the world. He observed it for a moment before resting on the window frame, "Han Li, have you ever wished to last such moments like this?"
No one could hear him, only himself.
