CHAPTER 3

4 years later.

In the middle of the Khaaslonia continent, there is a forest of death that is not inhabited by humans, located in the middle of three kingdoms and one empire. No kingdom, not even an empire, would not recognize the forest of death as a territory of ownership.

In the south, it is recognized as the Sphinx kingdom, the west is the Folly kingdom, the east is the possession of the Onix kingdom, and the north is three times the area of ​​the other as the seat of the Azruth empire.

No country wants to claim the forest of death because it is the residence of the reigning Demon Lord. Indeed the demon lord was exterminated Four hundred years ago by the hero of the Azruth empire and the combined knights of the other three kingdoms.

Even though the Demon King has been eradicated, there may be still devils left, so the four countries don't want to take risks that could threaten the welfare of their respective countries. Plus, there are rumours that dark entities and spirit beasts have powers beyond human comprehension.

While the four countries still fear hearing the name forest of death, there is a magnificent Palace in the middle of the forest of death, inside a magnificent palace filled with three Human Entities.

On the throne or rather a Queen size sofa, there was a beautiful girl with jet black curls that flowed down her back wearing a maid outfit. The girl was feeding her lord with fresh, high-quality wine, relaxing and lazing on his lap.

"Shushu, you are very beautiful today." said a girl who was on the servant's lap. Her words made the servant girl's face flush with embarrassment.

"Miss, stop teasing Shushu, look at her face so red, Shushu, are you sick?" said the butler clothed man who had undeniable good looks.

The girl looked at her butler, playing with her eyebrows. "Baba, you are teasing her. Why are you accusing me of teasing her?" the girl said with a sad expression on her face.

The man named Baba could only smile at his miss. It's so adorable to see his lord act like that.

"Hey you, get some more wine for the lady." said the servant girl named Shushu while pointing at Baba.

"Shushu, don't be like that. If you act like that, then no one will want to make you a lover." said the girl in a soft yet graceful voice.

"Listen to Miss Gabby, Shushu," Baba said with a smile to Shushu. Shushu just glared at Baba fiercely, their eyes locked as if emitting electric currents colliding in their eyes.

Shushu turned her gaze to her lady, who closed her eyes in her lap. "Miss, it's been four years since I've been living in the palace. Miss no intention of going out? Just looking for wind." Shushu said softly to his lady.

The girl slowly opened her eyes and glanced at Baba. "How are they doing?"

"They're fine, miss, and for Mr Leon..." Baba interrupted. He stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Leon has a Slyph wind spirit and an Ifrit fire spirit. For the size of a human, Leon is quite a genius." he continued.

The girl smiled at Baba's words. "Maybe tomorrow I will go to the kingdom of the Spinx," said the girl.

"Hah! why are you there? Just wasting time, it's better if you relax on my lap, I will feed the lady with fresh and sweet wine." Shushu said she couldn't accept it if her lady, who had a beauty above the level of a goddess, went to a place where there were many people. Shushu was so happy that she felt incomparable happiness when her lady was on her lap.

Because according to Shushu, the greed and evil of humans must make them stare hungry at their miss. Shushu wanted to kill humans on this land but could not remember that her lady warned that kill humans who deserve to be killed.

The girl lifted her head to look at Shushu and pinched his cheeks.

"I'm just looking for the wind." said the girl gently. "Shushu can come with me." she continued making Shushu smile broadly, showing her white teeth.

The girl turned her gaze to Baba. "Baba, I have given you a task, for the time being, take care of my two younger brothers and my grandparents."

"Okay, miss," Baba replied, bowing respectfully to the girl.

---Duke charlotte's residence

At the Duke's residence, Charlotte was having fun because the second daughter of the Duke was currently celebrating her 18th birthday, which was held in an open room in a very luxurious manner. Covered her beautiful face in a smile that was so charming that the noblemen couldn't help but stare at her.

On the other hand, she heartaches and feels like crying, remembering this is her fourth birthday without Gabriella. Mia is very sad about the loss of her beloved sister. Even though she received great attention in the Charlotte family, there was still something missing in her heart.

"Happy birthday. I wish you a long and healthy life. This is all I can give you." said the handsome young man with a faint smile, handing over the gift box.

Mia also smiled, seeing Leon smile even though it was only slightly and almost invisible. She knew Leon was the one who lost the most since Gabriella disappeared. Mia hugged Leon tightly with love for her brother.

Since Gabriella's departure, Leon has drastically changed from cheerful to quiet and cold because his cold nature and handsome face make him attractive to noble girls.

The people in the open room started to congratulate Mia and give her their gifts. Sebastian just watched the nobles in the room flatly. He knew this was the right time to curry favour with them, and it wasn't long before Sebastian noticed that there was already a man trying to get close to Mia.

When the young man was about to propose to Mia, the whole room, especially the noble girls, held their breath when they saw an incredibly handsome butler walking towards Mia.

The whole room fell silent, especially the girls who saw the butler's smile, and they were wondering if this man might be a servant or maybe a noble in disguise. If the man were a butler, they would be prepared to spend any amount of money as long as they could get an extraordinarily handsome butler. Even the noble ladies looked at him hungrily. It felt like kidnapping this man and turning him into a chambermaid.

The man bowed his head respectfully at Mia and smiled, making Mia blush. "Happy birthday, my lady. I am a messenger from Lady Gabby to deliver gifts to you. I represent my Lordship to apologize to Lady Charlotte because Lady Gabby is so busy that she cannot attend." said the man with a smile.

Instantly the room was buzzing, and they didn't expect that the handsome butler was Lady Gabby's maid. No one doesn't know Gabby in the spinx kingdom.

3 years ago, a mysterious girl opened many businesses in the fields of accessories, clothes, and weapons. Quickly all of his companies were the most successful companies within 3 years. Even the weapons that the royal soldiers used were his company's production. Although no one has ever seen how Lady Gabby looks, rumours say the girl is like an incarnation of the Goddess.

Hearing Duke Charlotte invite Lady Gabby through one of his business partners, the nobles came to the birthday party of Duke Charlotte's second daughter and at the same time wanted to see the figure of Lady Gabby, who was predicted to be Goddess's incarnation, considering that it was not easy to invite Lady Gabby to an event. Some of the people on the show were disappointed, especially the guys who wanted to see what Lady Gabby looked like, but it was a blessing for the girls to see an incredibly handsome guy.

"It does not matter."

"My name is Baba, miss."

"It's okay, Baba," Mia said softly.

After giving a gift to Mia, Baba excused himself, and it made the girls have to be sad.

Mia looks at the gift that Lady Gabby's maid gave. She was very curious about the contents. It felt light as if it did not fill it for a length of one meter and a width of only 20 cm. She put the gift in a different place to open it immediately after the event was over.
