RE: My Dragon Girlfriend In The Dragonic Apocalypse-Novel

Lately, Lillia had noticed her sisters have been very secretive as of late. The kids when they see her all cover their mouths and run away. Only her daughter sticks by her side. She did not know what was going on but she was getting quite lonely. While at night time they all act the same way and even tease her more than normal. But even still she still can't help but feel there was something off.

With pursed lips, she began checking the palace for her sisters, who had once more disappeared on her. Roaming the halls looking all over for them. She checked every single room. Surprising many maids who blushed and lowered their heads while saying strange things like: "If Madam insists…." Or "Madam, I am willing if you want to….."

And for some reason, when she closed the door she could hear cries of embarrassment. She walked around all over the palace, and nothing! Not a single person in sight! Letting out a sigh, she made her way outside the place to check around. It was then that she saw Di sitting against her dog house, looking up at the ceiling. So much had been going on that she had forgotten to pass down her judgment. She had heard all about what happened, like how Di had her arm bitten off but was still willing to fight even if it meant death.

Thinking for a moment, she walked to the uniform officer's desk within the palace and got the maid outfit and daily necessities she had gotten ready for Di. She then walked back outside and came to stand in front of Di. "Stand up." She said coldly, causing Di to scrabble to her feet.

Di kept her head lowered, not daring to look at Lillia at all, afraid she would lose her life. But she also had a bit of hope when her eyes spotted a package in Lillia's hands. Lillia snorted and said: "Blake asked me to judge your performance during the battle. I heard you were willing to die on the battlefield just to prove yourself. But listen, only idiots think that way. If you work for us, you need to keep your life. Even if you are fighting, retreat if you end up losing an arm. I am not forgiving you for almost killing my man. But I do recognize your achievements in this fight. After your arm was healed, you did not hesitate to run back out to the front lines. You proved yourself worthy of being our laundry maid. If you work hard, you may work your way up to a normal maid.

"You will get a free room in the palace, food, and necessities plus three hundred hopes a month. Take this. These are your uniforms and daily necessities. Follow me to your room. Each room is to be kept clean. As well as the bathroom connected to it. You can use them as you please, but if there are any complaints…." Lillia looked at the dog house, which was kept very neat and orderly. She now realized that the only thing that Di did not do was take care of her hair and body since she did not have the ability to. "Never mind if you can keep a dog house as clean as you did. I am sure you can do the same for a room."

Di followed Lillia to her room, where Lillia dropped her off and left after saying: "If you want to stay here, then you better behave and do as the head maid tells you. No one will try to make things hard on you, but you must do your job."

Di looked at the room that was just for her after all these years, tears began to roll down her cheeks. She had finally proven her worth! She quickly wiped her tears before placing her things down and walking to the bath. She turned the hot water on and filled the tub. After which, she quickly washed the dirt off her before getting into the bath to soak.

Once she was done in her bath, she got changed and sat on her bed, and looked at everything. She knew she did not deserve all of this. She had tried to kill her master and was punished for it. But now…. Now she was being rewarded for her hard work. She was willing to throw her life away if it meant she could have a change of lifestyle. What really amazed her was that she was able to have a room of her own with a bath. She got paid, and she was still given free food.

"Don't think too much about it." A voice came from her side, causing Di to turn and see Rin standing there.

"Ri-Rin…." Di lowered her head once more. She had betrayed Rin as well.

"Our Lord is not a man who holds grudges about those who are willing to help his this city. Since you worked hard, you will be rewarded. Madam Lillia would prefer to keep you in the dog house, but she will not ignore your merits either. Even though you are nothing but a slave here, you are still able to rise up in the ranks as long as you never betray them again. Trust is easy to lose but harder to gain back. Once you lose the trust of those around you, do not expect too much in return. Right now, you got the same pay as the other lower maids. But even then, it is more money than you can get at any job outside the palace. You should feel lucky that the Lord spoke up for you. I will not say any more. But Di…. This time…. Serve well." Rin turned and left the room, closing the door behind her.

Di had tears raining down her cheeks as she wished she had never done what she did in the past. But she also felt a ball of determination inside her heart. She would work hard. And do everything she can to hopefully regain a bit of trust, even if it is only a sliver.
