"It's okay, you can go ahead," Roy waved his hand casually, not caring about Kriss's rudeness.
"Well, thank you Lord Roy." After getting Roy's permission, Kriss ran to find her parents, eager to share the good news.
"Chief Tia, let's go in." "Okay, let's go." Roy and Tia entered the palace hall, and Shelley, wisely making tea, waited quietly behind Roy for his decision.
"Elder Roy, you are here this time..." "Haha, Chief Tia, I think you can see that my little maid misses her parents very much."
"I can see it." Tia nodded, realizing that Roy wanted to discuss something important.
"Elder Roy, I have no restrictions on that girl's parents. They can live with you," Tia offered.
"You misunderstood, Chief Tia." Roy shook his head. "My maid's parents have deep feelings for this place. How can I bear to let them leave their homeland?"
"Then..." "That's it, Chief Tia. My maid has a deep relationship with her parents, and I can't bear to separate their flesh and blood."
Roy then dropped a bombshell, "So, I want to ask Chief Tia, can I change a maid?"
"???" The room fell into stunned silence.
Tia finally reacted. Roy always referred to Kriss as "maid" and was now proposing to change a maid. He realized what Roy was hinting at.
"Sigh... I'm sorry, Elder Roy, it was my lax discipline..." "No, no, no, it has nothing to do with Patriarch Tia."
Roy reassured Tia. "The main reason is that I am a kind-hearted person who doesn't see the suffering in the world. It has always been Kriss's dream to stay with her parents."
"Kriss has taken care of me for more than a million years. As a token of my gratitude, I will return her freedom so that she can stay with her parents all her life to fulfill her filial piety and enjoy family happiness."
Shelley, listening with a strange look, wondered about Roy's definition of "reward."
"Okay," Roy continued, "Chief Tia, I just accepted a mission from the four main gods, so I won't waste time chatting with you."
As for Kriss, Chief Tia, you can inform her, by the way. Give her my blessing."
"Shelley, let's go." "Yes, master." "Hey~" Shelley's sudden master made Roy shiver unconsciously, and he quickly raised his hand: "Okay Shelley, you should call me Roy. I'm not used to hearing the word master."
"How can this be done? Isn't that overstepping?" "What's overstepping? I remember I called him 'sister Shelley.'"
Shelley was embarrassed, recalling the first time she met Roy. Roy had bluntly stated that it would take hundreds of thousands or even millions of years to become a high-level god. Now, Roy had achieved Paragon in a million years, and Shelley felt guilty for Roy's accelerated cultivation.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, let's go back," Roy said. "Someone should be waiting impatiently."
Impatient indeed. Douglas, who had been wandering, displayed his inner turmoil, contemplating suicide with his spear. However, he couldn't muster the courage.
"Douglas, what you did just now is to show that you have objections to my arrangements, do you want to protest to me?" Roy questioned, pinching Douglas's neck. "I'm a very democratic person. If you don't want to be my maid's slave, I won't force you. This will free you."
When Roy was ready to kill Douglas, Shelley interrupted, "Master Roy, he is willing to be your maid's slave."
"No, no, no, no, no..." Douglas stammered, terrified. "Master Roy is wronged, I am willing, I am willing, I am willing to be your maid's slave..."
