An Infinite Commitment

"Then it's time to say goodbye." Admon suddenly looked up at Mery and said gently and with a straight face.

Mery was shocked by what she had just heard, not only her, but Lawrence and his group, Nalin and Vered, and every intelligent living thing in the garden. Admon had been training and trying to improve Mery for a month, and to suddenly send her away was ridiculous and incomprehensible. 

"Sir?" Mery stopped hugging her father with a sudden shock and ran to Admon, she didn't know what she had done wrong or why she should be fired, all she knew was the resentment and incomprehensible disappointment in her heart.

"So now that you're healed, and you've learnt the truth about yourself and all the other progress you've made, and you've got your father coming to find you, it's time for you to go back. Right?" Admon was curious, trying to figure out why everyone was looking so confused and trying to figure out what he had said wrong.

"So you don't need me anymore?" Mery tilted her head, tears welling up in her eyes and trying to think clearly about what she had done wrong. She could never forgive her father if it was really only because he had come to see her. Because in her hundred years of life she had really managed to find a place where she could taste love in an infinite way. From Nalin and Vered to every living creature in the garden, everyone cared for her and most importantly, Admon always protected and protected her.

She never wanted to leave this place.

"I mean, I didn't say that, my rest time is significantly increased now that you are here. You're doing an excellent job as my maid and that's great, but I thought your family was here to pick you up and you needed to get back to your family." Admon was in a state of great confusion, despite the calm expression on his face. His rest was already interrupted for a large part because of the "family visit" and he didn't want to deal with this on top of that.

"No sir! I know you rescued me and reconciled me with my family, and I am very seriously and very much burdened with you, and I am burdened with you during the time you want to rest, but can't I stay with you?" Mery said with her heart wide open and fell to her knees, no one expected her to do that.

"Come on Mery, you're a princess and I'm just a normal human, I have no power or anything else, except my house here and my beautiful garden. Do you really want to stay with me?" Admon was aware of the dozens of nice things he had received from the system over the past 100 years; from the hammer he used to forge iron to the brush he used to clean carpets, he had a fair amount of stuff. Yet he was so ignorant of the concept of power in this world that he didn't even think about how valuable these things were or how powerful they were. In other words, Mery was already a being that surpassed him in his eyes.

"You still saved me, didn't you?" As Mery said this, she realised the certain and deadly looks Nalin and Vered were giving her. Although her master had introduced himself to her as [a normal human being], she had almost praised his skills too highly. If his master wanted to be praised, he would have made it clear.

"Yes, because I wanted to," Admon replied, not understanding what was going on, why would a princess want to stay in a place like this?

"I want to stay with you and devote myself to you, sir," Mery replied, and Admon's face changed in a way it hadn't for a long time. His eyes opened wide and his eyebrows raised, there was no way to express his surprise. Mery...had she just declared her love?

Admon closed his eyes, being much older than her, albeit mentally, and then added, "Fine, you can commit yourself to me, but don't expect me to do the same, at least not right now."

Upon hearing this, Mery leapt into the air and began to bow to Admon over and over again. In just a few minutes, the entire [Demon Beast Tribe] had become attached to her, and Admon's acceptance of Mery in the presence of the king and the royal elders had officially declared little Mery as the most influential person in the entire tribe.

In short, neither the king nor the queen had any say over [Mery] anymore, she had already attained the highest rank in the Demon Beast Tribe, which signified untouchability: Goddess.

"I'll hear you, sir." As Mery said this, she prepared to fall to her knees to prostrate herself before Admon and was suddenly stopped by him. As her eyes fixed on Admon's, the words that came out of his mouth would be etched in her heart as words that would echo whenever she looked at him:

"You don't have to kneel anymore, you are one of my family. Forever."

Mery, who felt these words in her whole body, stood up and then smiled and said, "Yes, my master."

Admon shook his head and then pointed at Lawrence and his group and said, "Then there is nothing more for you to do now, King Lawrence. See you next time. Mery, would you please show them out?"

Mery nodded her head yes and began to gently push her father out the door, Lawrance was still blinking as if he didn't understand what had just happened when he found himself out the door and staring at the closed door in front of him. Not only was he bewildered, but the entire group was bewildered, what had just happened was enough to cause an uproar throughout the demon beast tribes.

What Admon didn't know was that he would eventually get a headache. What a pity.
