"What are the benefits of becoming your apprentice?"

Rudy looked at the beautiful mentor in front of him with curiosity.

Having a beautiful teacher as a support when you first arrive can reduce some trouble.

Rudy was naturally willing, but the specific benefits needed to be agreed upon first.

"There are many benefits. I am the president of the Magic Research Club in the academy. If you agree to be my apprentice, I will give you special tutoring."

"So, are you tempted?"

"The magic research society I founded can develop new magic from time to time, and it's all-purpose magic that anyone can learn."

Hearing this, Rudy blinked and said seriously:

“Master Olive, from today onwards I am your apprentice, and I will rely on you to support me from now on.”

"Pfft~ I'll take care of you?"

Upon hearing Rudy's words, Olive couldn't help but giggle.

"Still want to support you? You're a duke's son, aren't you? Do you really need me to support you?"

Rudy, however, explained in a very serious manner:

“Ms. Olive, let’s be honest.”

"I'm just the third son of the Duke's family, and I don't have a title, so I'll have to rely on my own efforts to earn money to support myself from now on. Hmm, I also have a little maid to support."

"Now that you've insisted on becoming my master, how can you not support me and Michelle?"

Being an apprentice of a beautiful teacher has many advantages.

You can usually find her pleasing to the eye.

She goes out and takes the blame when something happens.

Furthermore, Rudy's later use of special, self-created magic can be attributed to Olive's teaching.

Olive's lips twitched at his self-righteous demeanor.

"Fine, fine, I'll take care of you, okay?"

"In short, you can stay here without worry from now on. Your teacher's home is your home!"

Upon hearing this, Rudy took two steps back, his expression wary.

Olive glared at him, clearly annoyed. "Were you serious about taking that half-step back?"

"Kid, what do you mean by this?"

Rudy answered in a very serious tone:

“Professor Olive, I suspect you’re attracted to my good looks, so be careful.”

"Go away, stop fooling around. You're just a little kid, what good looks would I have for you?"

Olive curled her lip in disgust, but couldn't help reaching out to pinch Rudy's cheeks and gently pull them apart.

"I didn't realize you had such a thick skin. That's great, I'm very satisfied with it. Keep it up!"

Yes!

...

Back in the room.

The little maid is already curled up in bed warming his bed.

Rudy lifted a corner of the blanket and slipped inside, naturally wrapping his arms around Michelle's soft waist.

My mood gradually calmed down.

This is also why he likes to sleep with Michelle in his arms.

This girl has a reassuring quality about her.

The girl trembled upon noticing someone's arrival.

Michelle opened her beautiful eyes and gazed at him tenderly.

“Young Master Rudy, please don’t abandon Michelle. Michelle will do whatever you say.”

Today's spiritual trial seems to have left a shadow on her.

Looking into her eyes, which seemed to hold the pitiful look of a little animal afraid of being abandoned, Rudy laughed and scolded:

"When did I say I was going to abandon you? You silly girl, aren't you afraid I'm just using you? What if I do something really bad to you, or make you do things you don't want to do?"

"It's alright, as long as Master Rudy doesn't abandon Michelle, Michelle can accept anything!"

Michelle spoke earnestly, her eyes filled with determination.

It is not shameful to be used by others in this world.

What's shameful is that they don't even have any value to be exploited.

As for Michelle, Rudy has been in her heart since childhood, so she will only create her own value for him in this life.

Listening to the little maid's heartfelt words, Rudy patted her little head and said:

"We talked about it during the day, didn't we? We need to revise our contract."

“Ugh…” Michelle covered her forehead, looking at him pitifully, “Can I not change it? Michelle is happy to just be Master Rudy’s slave.”

"Of course it has to be changed. Look at that girl Michelle, she always thinks I used my position as master to force you, which is bad for my reputation."

"Waaaaah... Young Master Rudy, have you fallen for Michelle?"

Michelle pouted, looking extremely jealous.

Rudy said irritably:

"How could that be? I don't have masochistic tendencies. That girl has always disliked me, how could I possibly like her?"

"Michelle, let's change the contract to an equal contract. Do you really think you'll leave me if the slave contract is gone?"

"That's not true! I won't leave Master Rudy, I'll do whatever you say. If Master Rudy doesn't want his reputation to suffer, Michelle can try to explain to Michelle if he really likes her."

Despite saying that, Michelle's little hands trembled as she gripped the hem of his clothes.

Clearly, even though she was mentally prepared for Rudy to date other girls and even get married in the future, she was still afraid.

It's not that I'm afraid Rudy will be unfaithful.

She had only ever intended to be Rudy's little maid, forever.

Michelle was afraid that Rudy would find another girl and stop liking her, and that he would abandon her.

Looking into her earnest eyes, Rudy leaned in and kissed her.

"Silly girl, I'm telling you this very seriously, I don't like Michelle."

“I just don’t want you to be bound by a slave contract for the rest of your life. After all, I don’t treat you as a maid, but as one of my people, so I hope you can at least be free.”

Michelle smiled and buried her face in Rudy's arms.

"If I could stay by Master Rudy's side forever, I would be willing to lose my freedom."

"Idiot, if you're not by my side, who else do you want to be with?"

He raised his hand to stroke her little head, suppressing the flutter in his heart, and said softly:

"Go to sleep quietly."

"Yes, I'll do whatever you say, young master Rudy."

Michelle nodded gently, a peaceful expression on her face.
