I'm scare.

W-well next person.

Oh, she seems so pretty, no, not Just her but the other girls.

Wow, are they nobles? Saints? princess???

Oh no, calm down me.

What was I thinking, oh yeah about the kids.

The girl I'm looking at right now, the color of Her hair is light-gray hair that's fading to blue at the end. She also has tiny or a blue stripes hair. it's color is dark gray and blue mixing like liquid.

Like oil which I've seen, well did since I try to cook but ness things up.

As for the 2 beast tribe, they looks so shiny.

One girl has ears and tail that seems to be fox, is she a fox tribe? I heard that they are important to the beast race.

Well I don't know much so I'll ignore it.

Anyways, her eyes are pretty, Her eyes are color purple, while her hair are silver, the tips of her ears & tail are black.

Just like that boy.

Are they related?

Anyways, as for the other beast girl, she has her ears and tail like a wolf.

A wolf tribe? She looks like one but I heard that there's a legend call fenrir.

It was said that both fenrir and Fox are very important to the race, and that fought with the heros.

Well, I don't know much of history of the beast tribes, not even my own race so I'll just do what I want.

Anyways, that wolf or fenrir. I don't know what she is.

Anyways, her hair is also silver, she have some tiny or with black-stripes-color hair, her eyes are really pretty as well, her eye is light blue.

Wow, this seems like royal family or so. I'm scared.

Sophia Hold her mother coat trembling.

Mother: "may I have some of you time."

She said, then the boy who was about to say something was interrupted by that gray and blue hair girl.

Huh, she seems angry.

Sophia: (Wait, what!?)

I was suddenly thrown and was caught.

When I look who caught me it was that girl, she holding me.

Look back to my mother, She then look at me and urge me to go on and left.

Ah, so this is it.

Seeing her just leaving me with the other slave. My sister and brothers.

Kiana: "w-wait, hey don't just leave!"

The girl who's holding me shouted but she didn't stop and kept on walking.

Looking at everyone faces, Everyone was confused. They look each other asking-"why."-

mother: "Take care of her for me."

Hearing this Sophia widen her eyes in surprise, she then look back to her mother who stop walking and looking at them.

After saying what she wanted she left.

Lilia: "what just happen??"

The gold hair girl said.

As they were wondering what to do, Sophia was the only one looking at her family leaving until their figure completely disappeared.

Making her tear up but hold back since she didn't want to ruined her mother wish.

And So I went and left with the group, when I look back for the very last time, she-no, my family who's still with her were waves at me for the last time.

Smiling like they were blessing me to do my best and do what i want.

Be free for the very first time.

Ah, I wish we could've been together forever and ever but that not how fate and destiny works.

Not all things would always last forever, all things would come to an end when the time comes.

Like a storyline when finishing writing it, like a flower life span when it's end, like a art when finishing complete it.

All things comes to an end at some day, so Cheshire in every single time you have.

Oh no, not the tears again. I wanted to cry but I didn't.

I need to be strong, I can't be the same anymore. I can't let her sacrifice be a waste anymore. I must move on.

Making her decision, she clench her fist as to being fire up...

After that, it was the time when I knew the kid name, Kiana, yuuto, Lilia, shiro and shino, they ask my name so I told them I'm Sofia.

We were in a restaurant, I felt embarrassed since they were just looking at, were they surprised that I'm an elf?

Well It can't be help since I was hungry at the sametime feeling embarrassed. to be honest this food taste good.

Since this day, I learn a lot from them.

Learning they were the heros for this kingdom as for Lilia is actually a noble daughter.

Which surprised me, I was nervous and scared by them, one wrong move and my head is gone.

Mother, do you hate me that much?

But to my surprising, they were completely different from what I expected from them.

They were nice, kind, and scary.

Nice and kind like my family who gave me food without hesitation. That treaters me normal like a normal girl.

Like what I call family.

Even though I am a slave and have the slave collar around my neck they still treat me normal.

Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.

They also told me that shiro is going to be the one training me, me being disciple of her. I was scare, but I accepted.

When they pet my head I cry, I remember my mother words-"show your true feelings, and actions. Be happy not for me but for the future you."-as she stroke my head.

Since then, Yuuto took my collar of like nothing, taking me to the castle.

I was surprised to go and meet the king, Alice and many other important people, but to my surprise they were also nice and kind.

Maybe because of the hero but Alice, the princess, told me that they don't look down at commoners.

Which is true as I saw many people happily doing things.

My mother also told me not to worry about this kingdom since they treat anyone equally, whether noble, commander, slaves, and other tribes.

Which is why other kingdoms see them not as equal as them.

Thinking about this, I'm thankful for her for sending me to a good family.

She was right, she kept her promise to find a family for me. But even with this, I would never forget about her and my family.

I would always think of them as my first family. I wish I could say thank you for the last time. Not just her but for Sophia and that unknown girl.

I want to say goodbye for the last time if I ever get the chance, I would like to say my final words to them, but I know it would be useless.

But things change for that, as time, Weeks past I was taught and train in many different ways by shiro with lilia and Kiana.

Shino also join, they decided to just train together to help us more.

I was happy, i thought she would treat us normal but it was the opposite way, I was still beaten and thrown all around.

Since then, I was beaten every time. With everyone, with lillywood and Alice as well who join in later.

No matter what we do and try against shiro and shino. They would instantly pin us down or throw us over the wall.

At first I thought I would die but I never did because they use some unknown power that won't allow us to die no matter how many times I get beaten.

Someday, after training, we were talking a break eating cookies and tea.

Well I like coffee?

But we were eating with our worn dirty clothes with dirt around us.

It was on this day that I wanted to get stronger more and to learn more things from them when I heard what they said.

That shiro, shino and yuuto have all powers, ability and all that I don't know. Having our DNA and things that sounds weird.

Also mystery unknown things that I didn't even know of like concept and transcendent, Universe's and outerverse.

They say this Universe's is way above outerverse? Which I don't get?

It all interesting which I would need to start learning from them, but what got me interested was "time-space."

Or time power and space power or manipulation.

A ability that allows you to use time-space to rewind back to the future, well more like controlling it. I wants to power to use it to go back and say goodbye to them.

But it was way above my power, I can't do nothing about it so I gave up on that.

Then I remember something from their words, since they have all power and things why won't I tell them about this.

Thinking about this I was about to tell them, but to my surprise both shino and shiro were looking at me like they knew what was I thinking about.

I checked on other if they knew but they seem to not know that shiro and shino were looking at me.

Looking at their eyes, they seems to tell me something.

Trying to figure it out, it seems to say that they would explain things to me in someday. But not today.

I don't know what they meant but I can't say anything so I gave up. So after finishing eating and resting we train again in higher spirits.

But still got beaten up by them like a punching bag.

Then one day, something happens to Alice, for some reason everyone scream in surprise by Alice appearance who has her beautiful princess dress all dirty.

We ask what happened and she told us about what yuuto did.

I'm surprised from what she said but I don't know anything about this type of.

Flirting things?

So when Alice left I ask shiro and shino what yuuto did? And was it bad.

Both look at each other then look at me and spoke.

Shiro: "I'll say, it is both good and bad, because for the bad parts it weird and looks like you trying to do something really bad against someone will."

Imagine yuuto doing that to her, putting around his hand on Sophia waist and lifting her chin up.

Thinking about this she doesn't feel anything about it.

Shiro: "as for the good part is if you are in love for each other. Then yes it a good thing that he does it."

Still thinking about this Sophia didn't thought or feel anything of it.

To her she never experienced about love so no matter how she looks and think of it she would never understand it.

Sophia: "now that I think about it. Where is yuuto at?"

Shino: "he found a boy, as a disciples to train."

Huh, a boy. No wonder I don't see him anywhere as we train.

We have talked and hang out but only for short period of time.

He seems nice and kind like I said before.

But I have to guess? I would like to experiment this love or feelings I never gotten to feel before.

So when I glance both of them, they seems to know what I wanted to say.

Shino: "what? You want him to kiss you and hold you."

Imagine him holding her from behind, when she did her face turn reddish.

she was being tease by both shiro and shino, so they gave up and tells the truth about what he like and don't likes if she plans to want him.

Shiro: "enough jokes, so to tell the truth, before we say anything. We want to tell you that you know that we both like him as well. Not just us but Lilia as well."

I nodded, I have seen how she act against him, but I never knew it was that love she was feeling, I always thought it was a friendships that she shows.

Shiro: "not just her but probably lillywood as well, but she not sure since she too haven't experienced love before."

Sophia: "she did? I never knew this is love that she were showing. But would yuuto ask her-no, would he love you guys as well? Would he accept you? I know polygamy is allowed but I wonder if he's fine with it."

Tilts her head as she cross her arms.

Shino: "he's both, what I meant both is that he okay to have more but as long as they truly love each other."

Sophia: "meaning?"

Shino: "meaning what I meant, which I will explain the other reason he doesn't like. He doesn't like when a girl love him by his looks, power, strength, money, and other things. He sees that annoying."

Sophia: "so if he saves someone or that they saw his strength and ask him out. He won't answer them, right."

Both shiro and shino nodded to her words.

Shino: "this is what he said, "it just annoys how it goes, they look down on them when they do something bad or are weak, but when they show their power or save them, they would want to keep them for themselves like they know something about them without actually knowing him." It like us for a example, we are strong and see yuuto not interested and weak, but when he save us and gets stronger we fall in love. But yuuto wouldn't accept us."

Hearing this, Sophia understand what shiro meant it makes sense even though she haven't nor felt the feeling love.

But she does understand that like friends, see you as weak but showing them your skills or having a great Job they would want you back.

There are people actually liked other for who they are by power, title or where they came from, rather than just for who they actually are, it look fun getting so much attention from girls and other, but ultimately felt superficial and fake to other at time.

Which is why yuuto expressed how much he disliked that people would be treated differently just because of their looks, power, or where they came from.

The same goes for shiro and shino, they too don't like it. Which is why they are telling and warnings Sophia, if she wants to date him.

Shiro: "it Just depends how you guys know each other, so if I'm you, I should get to know him, not what he has but what you want for each other. I don't care if you or anyone else go out with him as a lover but as pure love."

Sophia: "hm, okay I'll try. It just I don't know how to do it and never experienced it. I actually don't know what it feels."

Shino: "like we said, just take your time, no matter how long it takes, we allow you to still joins, But by pure love. Not for the things he has."

Sophia: "I got it."

The 3 of them hugs each other.

Sophia who's in the room in the present thinking all the past talks open her eyes and put the pins back in the drawer and went back to bed.

Kiana: "leave me alone."

Shiro: "come on, you grew more. You too lillywood."

Lillywood: "no, stop."

Both Kiana and lillywood came out of the bathroom in pajamas while shiro chase them wearing her pajamas.

Shino: "all of be quiet already."

When she shouts all stop moving while Alice and Lila came out behind her.

All of them are wearing their pajamas to sleep.

Shino: "shiro, stop playing around we have to talk with everyone."

Walk towards her and pull her fenrir ears.

Shiro: "ah, I'm sorry."

Sophia: "so what are we going to talk about?"

I said, hearing me shino let go of shiro ears, spoke to me while shiro has tears on her eyes.

Shino: "oh yeah, tomorrow is Alice birthday."

Hearing that, Alice lower her eyelid as annoying and tired.

Alice: "I don't feel like going. But I have to since I'm going to meet the saint. Plus you guys are going to be there since you are the heros of this Kingdom."

Sophia: "saint? I thought you were the saint."

Hearing her Alice hold her head and shake it to the side ways saying, no.

Alice: "no, I'm not a saint. I'm just a normal human princess. I know many call me the saint because of the power I had since a child and how intelligent i was. Pretty much I was bless."

Kiana: "that doesn't make sense, if you were bless wouldn't you still be call a saint or have a title name?"

She had a point, being bless and having great intelligence and power since a kid would have given you an important title or should be call a hero or saint.

Kiana and them see her as a saint but to Alice, she doesn't.

Seeing this, Lilia and lillywood spoke out as to why.

Lillywood: "a-ahm, Alice I'll just say this, but your father, the king doesn't want you to become the next ruler. Not just him but your whole family which is way they spread rumors about you just being normal. And not letting any others know what you can actually do."

Hearing this, the room became quiet but was broken by Alice.

Alice: "I knew it."

Lilia: "we are sorry but it a better place for you to go with them."

Alice: *sigh* "it's true, plus I already decided to go with them. I'm glad that you guys are coming with me as well."

Oh, the atmosphere is normal again.

Shino: "so you finally decided."

Alice: "yes, the 3 of us would go with you guys. We seen things that we didn't know about. So it would be a very dangerous journey."

Kiana: "so that it, we be leaving after the defeat of the demon king."

Sophia: "ah! If you have that power wouldn't be easy to defeat the demon king by now and leave."

I've been thinking about that. With all the power and things they shown and taught us it should be easy.

Right?

Shino: "yes, we would have been leaving by now. We could've easily defended the demon king, but we want you guys to experience everything and anything."

Sophia: "everything and anything? does that mean doing thing with yuuto?"

Alice: "please don't talk about him."

-"I'm sorry."-she said as she cover her mouth but Alice forgave her saying it not her fault.

i forgot that Alice doesn't like him for what he did to her.

-*knock*-

Suddenly, someone knock the door.

Shino: "come in."

Said shino, the door open when hearing her voice.

The one who came in was yuuto, seeing him Alice made a disgusting and angry expression like she doesn't want to be here or next to him.

She even has her hands in a position to attack him instantly, having the will to instantly kill him.

It scary to see her like this but, at the same time, you can see her tremble a little.

The Reason she scare was that yuuto have kill her before, not just her but us too, he kill all of us many times.

Like I said before, me and yuuto hang out and talk, not like normal, but for me to understand the loving and feeling I had after I talk with shiro and shino about love.

I also mentioned about shiro and shino who taught and show many things to us, they also told us that we need to experience things in person until the demon King is defeated.

So they made us fight monsters, themselves and yuuto and many different objects, entities, being ECT. to learn things of it even if it's completely different.

Yuuto was against it at first but later on completely agree to train us.

So he kill us one by one in many different ways.

It gives me nightmares Everytime I sleep or see him.

The bloodlust, the murder intense and many feelings I could feel by him when he looks at me, it was so scary.

Him stabbing me, slicing my head off, burning me, killing me with instant death, existence erasure and many different things.

It was hell, the training was hell.

No matter how you think and imagine about it, it was completely torture, he have kill me in many different ways and times.

Ah! Remembering about this makes my body shivers and have goosebumps.

This may should abuse or whatever you may think but it for our own good.

Thanks to them I haven't fear death nor thinking about my existence erased or soul whatever.

-*dry laugh*-I feel I'm broken if I think about this.

Anyways, even when he or shiro and shino Done that to me.

They still care for us, comfort us and hug us, making sure we are fine and to tell them if we want to quit.

I'm happy for them caring and I know it scary for me to continue doing this, but I want to Become stronger and don't want to lose.

I want to keep the 3 promises from them, so I can't give up.

But all on that, I was embarrassed when he hold my hands and show my how to hold different weapons.

Which got my heart beat.

Does this mean pure love?

I think I forgot to mention all of this, hehe~

While Thinking about it, Alice spoke out to him.

Knowing her she hate him, but If she hate him why is she still testing him for some reason I ask why, but told me it not important?

Huh?

Seeing her with her angry expression yuuto raise both of his arms like he's not going to anything, but even with this Alice doesn't budge.

Alice: "then why are you here."

Yuuto: "wow, calm down."

Sigh, I kinda know why Alice is like this since he cam do anything.

Yuuto: "anyways calm down, everyone listens. Since tomorrow is Alice birthday. The king and arc family decided to also add Lilia and lillywood birthday Tomorrow."

Everyone: *silent*

-"what?"-he looks around in confused as he said that.

Lillywood: "um, yuuto. Are you serious or just pranking us."

Yuuto: "hey, I'm serious. You can go ask them, they were the one who decided this. Wait, you guys didn't know?"

All of them shook their heads saying, no they didn't know, except for shiro and shino who knew already.

Yuuto: "huh, no wonder he send me here."

Alice: "hm, I think I understood now."

Kiana: "you do?"

Alice: "yes, if I'm correct. Since you guys are heros, plus the rumor saint. They switched or put all our birthdays in the same day to celebrate. It's an important day."
