Chapter 05
Xie Yan
Please don't bow everytime you see me, it's getting uncomfortable
Xie Yan
Please stand properly. *sighs*
Xie Yan
So, what's your name again?
Nomu
Nomu! I'm your trusted servant!
Xie Yan
I know this might sound silly...
Xie Yan
but, are you part of the demon clan or moon clan?
Nomu
The Moon Clan, of course! I've been your loyal servant since I was a child!
Xie Yan
Since we've been together for a long time, can you just call me Xie Yan? We are friends, after all...
Xie Yan
(I need his loyalty to escape this hellhole…)
Nomu
Friends?! *Bows again* I dare not call you my friend! They would behead me!
Xie Yan
N-nomu! Please stand up!
Xie Yan
*gets on his knees to the same level as Nomu*
Xie Yan
Please, listen to me...
Nomu looks up again, his anxiety shooting up as he sees Xie Yan on his knees in front of him. He never expected to see this, ever since the lord woke up again, the lord has been acting weird!
Xie Yan
*holds nomu's hand*
Xie Yan
Can you not be my friend? Please... (Just say yes! What the hell! 🤬)
Nomu
I-...I shall be your friend...
Xie Yan
Nomu! Thank you! *gives Nomu a hug*
Xie Yan stood up again, and sat down as he signaled Nomu to stand up as well.
Xie Yan
Now that we are friends...
Xie Yan
Call me Xie Yan! You don't need to call me lord anymore!
Xie Yan
Nomu! We are friends!
Xie Yan
Hey! It's not like I'm a lord any more anyway. My title has been stolen, the clan has been taken over. At this point, the moon clan doesn't even exist anymore. You're good either way! Nobody is going to hold you accountable for not calling me lord.
Nomu
(Except the demon lord himself, he's going to get me killed..but I shall not say that.)
Xie Yan
How often does the demon lord come over? I've been sleeping you see and don't remember much...
Nomu
Oh, you might not know, but he has come over every day when you fell in a coma. He took very good care of you, all of us were surprised!
Xie Yan
(That's surprising...)
Nomu
Yes! Some said it's because of the child but why would he need to come over for that? Anybody could take care of you, after all.
Xie Yan
(The more I hear about this man, the more I think he's hiding something. Why was he so malicious towards Xie Yan and yet there are these subtle moments where he seems to care? I'm missing so many details from the novel...)
Xie Yan
(Ugh! Whatever! 🤬 I'll escape regardlessly. It doesn't matter.)
Xie Yan
I've been just thinking...
Xie Yan's stomach loudly growled.
Nomu
Y-you might be hungry?
And with that, their conversation came to an abrupt end. Nomu nodded with quickness and left the chambers to get Xie Yan food.
Xie Yan
(It's too early anyways. I'll need to build some trust, so they aren't on alert with every step I take...)
Xie Yan
(Xie Yan, after all this is done...You will pay as well!!!)
