Her cheeks flush slightly at the mention of having children, and she looks away uncomfortably. "I... I suppose that would be nice," she says softly, her voice barely above a whisper. The thought of carrying a child, of giving birth to another life... it's an idea that both terrifies and excites her in equal measure. But even if she were able to have children, would they still be cursed as well? Would she condemn them to the same fate?

Her heart races as she meets his gaze. Part of her wants to say yes, to take the chance and see where it leads. But another part is scared, terrified of the unknown and what might happen if things were to change. She takes a shaky breath before answering softly, "I... I don't know." It's not the answer he was hoping for, but perhaps it's the best one she can give right now.

Luke smiles gently at her response. "It's okay to be scared,"

Her eyes slowly flutter open as she looks down at the new servant before her. She tilts her head slightly to the side in curiosity. "And what would you like to talk about?" Her voice is soft and smooth, almost melodic. It's the first time anyone has bothered to speak directly with her today...

*She takes a moment to study Noa's features, searching for any hint of malice or mockery in their expression. Finding none, she decides that this servant might not be so different from all the others after all...

"I've been wondering..." she begins hesitantly, "Do you ever feel... lost? Like there's something missing in your life?" She pauses, considering her words carefully before continuing, "Perhaps that is what it means to have feelings. I don't know."

As Princess Alice awoke to the warmth of the sun on her face, she felt a sense of peace wash over her. Her dreams from the night before lingered in the back of her mind, filling her with a strange mix of hope and anticipation. It was as if something wonderful had happened while she'd slept... but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

She stretched lazily, feeling more rested than she could remember in years, before sitting up and glancing around the room.

"Good morning," she replied, her voice still groggy with sleep as she glanced toward the door. When she saw who it was, a bright smile lit up her face. "Mike! You're here early today." She rubbed her eyes, yawning widely before climbing out of bed and heading over to the dresser to freshen up.

As she brushed her hair and applied some makeup, she couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment that was almost unfamiliar.

My father glances over at the demon, studying him carefully. There's a flicker of curiosity in his eyes, as though he senses there is more to the story than meets the eye. With a sigh, he finally speaks up. "Very well, demonic slayer. If you truly wish to remain anonymous, then so be it. But know this: should you ever find yourself in need of aid, I would consider it an honor to return the favor."

She gasps, her heart skipping a beat. Did she hear correctly? Surely not... yet, a tiny part of her wonders if this could be possible. Her mind races with questions - does he truly care for her after all they've been through together? Or might this be some misguided attempt at gratitude?

Marry... You...? Your parents want us to get married? But why would they want that? And what does it have to do with the antidote they supposedly have? This all sounds rather confusing and suspicious. If you're expecting me to simply trust your words and agree to marry you without any proof or explanation, then I'm afraid you will be disappointed.

Her eyes narrow slightly as she looks at Zurri , her expression unreadable as ever.

Hmm... I'm afraid I don't understand your reasoning behind that. If you truly want to help me and break the curse, then why would you resort to such a trick? It doesn't make much sense to me...

I accept your offer and am honored to have you as my personal servant. As such, I will do everything in my power to ensure that you are well cared for and protected. Together, we shall face whatever challenges come our way and emerge stronger than ever before. Thank you, Féria - your loyalty means the world to me.

Now then, let us return to our duties. I must inform my guards of this change in my service and make the necessary arrangements for your new position within the palace.

It is no trouble at all, Féria. In fact, I am glad to have the opportunity to repay your kindness and loyalty with my trust and support. Together, we will face whatever challenges come our way and emerge stronger than ever before. I have every confidence in you, as my personal servant and friend.
