Chapter 904 - Humanoid Customs (2/2)
Rhode stood up.
“Rain, you said that according to your custom, as long as the other gender sees your body, your body and soul will belong to him. Is that right?”
“Yes, that’s right…”
Rain lowered her head shyly. Then, the corners of Rhode’s mouth twitched.
“So then, do you know what you should do?”
“…”
Rain shook her head and Rhode heaved an inward sigh of relief. Then, he stretched out his arm and held his hand on her shoulder, which the young lady instinctively shivered.
“How did you address me earlier on?”
“… Your Majesty”
Although Rain didn’t know why he asked, she respectfully answered.
“So then, what is our relationship?”
“I’m your loyal servant and person, Your Majesty.”
“Good.”
Rhode stroked her hair.
“That’s the way.”
“Huh?”
Rain lifted her head in astonishment. Rhode waved a casual gesture with his hand as he saw her dubious eyes.
“You are my servant while I am your ruler. Since that’s the case, your body and soul should have already belonged to me. Do you understand, Rain? Not only you, but the others are also the same so you don’t need to show more of your loyalty to me.”
“B-But…”
Rain knitted her brows in confusion. Although what Rhode said made sense and according to him, what she did was indeed more than required, for some unknown reasons the young lady felt that something was amiss.
“Could it be that you think there’s something wrong with what I said?”
“N-No, nothing is wrong, Your Majesty!”
“Good.”
Rhode was relieved after hearing her answer.
“Continue doing your job. Even though the people’s resettlement is completed, there are other things to do. If you have any problems, speak to me, Marlene, or Lize immediately. Understand?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The young lady bowed, turned around, and hurriedly left. Rhode let out a long sigh as she disappeared in the corner.
This problem is settled.
