Chapter 6

Camula was perplexed. 　She was willing to be killed by the Ark. The previous Count Galm had taken both her livestock and her land. 　As a result, her family was impoverished, and her parents and brother were dead. 　She was prepared to be killed, so she took up the challenge. She did something that would get her killed. She was left alone in the world after the death of her parents, and she had the lowest opinion of the Count. Her attack on the Arc was a revenge. 　She could not complain even if she were killed as a result. That was all she had been doing. 　A commoner pointing a knife at the Count deserved to be killed. 　But she was not killed. As soon as she was taken to the count's house, she was bathed and made to wear a servant's clothes. And then Arc said to her, "From today on, you are my servant. Do you understand?" He said something that she didn't understand. Camula was perplexed. But she was not to be caught off guard. There was something in it for him, she thought. She thought there was some kind of punishment awaiting her. 　She thought that if she let his guard down, she would be punished later. But Camula was puzzled. Why would Ark go to such lengths? If he was going to punish her, why not do it from the beginning? Camula continued to work for Arc with suspicion and confusion. Working for Arc, she gradually began to feel satisfied with her life. 　There is nothing to be unhappy about. 　Nothing is inconvenient. Compared to when she lived in the slums, her life has greatly improved. It's all a joy. But Camula said. : fuck you." 　She felt an unbearable loathing for her current life. The more fulfilled her life became, the more humiliated she felt. The more kindness he received, the more she hated it. Finally, unable to contain her feelings any longer, she broke into Arc's room without his permission. Incidentally, the fact that she could break into Ark's room shows that she has a talent for intelligence and assassination. And that's aside. 　Camula stood in front of the bed where Ark was sleeping. 'What do you want?　Camula." 　Ark asked Camula as he lay on the bed. "I've come to kill you." "Ha. You have the gall to go to the trouble of announcing your intention to kill me." "Shut up." Camulla held a knife at Arc's neck. "Why did you let me live?　Why did you let me live this way?" "Because that is your punishment." "......" 　For Camilla, it was indeed punishment. Camulla felt humiliation, hatred, and guilt. "I am. I didn't have any great desires. All I wanted was to eat a nice piece of meat once in a while and have a good laugh." I don't mean to make you so destitute that you can't even eat meat." It's too late. It's already too late for me to try anything. The more fulfilling this life became, the more rewarding it became for Camula, the more frustrated she became. 　Why now? Why didn't he save her sooner? "I wanted to eat with the family I love .......' 　It was a small wish. She just wanted to have a nice meal with her family and be able to face tomorrow with a smile on her face. "It's all your fault." It was taken from her, and then it was given to her. 　She knows it will never be enough. 　What could be more cruel? "Don't blame others for your inadequacies, for your unworthiness." Ark said quietly but firmly. "What do you even know!? " 'I don't know. I don't care about your past." But if you blame others, nothing will change your future. "Isn't that right?　What's changed since you've hated me?" "......" "I'm only interested in your future". "There is no future." "Don't tell me there isn't." 　Ark took hold of Camula's arm and slowly raised her body. 'You belong to me. I will create your future." "　Don't live in the past, but look to the future." Camula felt as if she had been told to do so. 'You have no right to create my future!" Camula was afraid to look Arc in the eye and left as if to run away. 　She was afraid that he would see through me. She was afraid to let the past become the past, and only she would go into the future. Some time later, Camula asked Lampard Why did Master Ark employ me? Why did he let me live?　Why does he want to see my future?" 　Lampard replied with a smile. "Master Ark wants to take responsibility." 'Responsibility?" "He wants to take responsibility for the sins of the past and future alone. He accepts it." Of course, Ark does not have such a high spirit. Rather, he has only a greedy heart. Lampard's eyes must already be numb with age. Lampard's image of the Ark was very different from the actual Ark. "He was a bit outspoken, but Master Ark is a very good-natured and gentle man. He wants to atone for the past and show a bright future to the people he cares about. You are among those precious people." Cumula was ashamed of himself. She had been outrageously disrespectful to Ark, who should have been about her future, but was carrying something far greater than she was. 　It was not Ark who took Camula's family away from her. And yet she tried to kill Ark. 'I was a fool.Kneww nothing tried to know nothing, and for my selfish reasons, I wanted to harm Master Ark." "There is no use in regretting the past. But I would like you not to hate him anymore. He has nothing to be blamed for." "And if possible, I would like to ask for your assistance, Kamula-sama." "My assistance?" "From now on, Ark-sama is going to face something big. For that reason, he will need a lot of help. I would like to ask for your help, Camulla-sama. "Yes, of course. If I can." Thus, Camula pledged allegiance to Arc. However, contrary to Camulla's thoughts, Ark said secretly, "Hahaha, I'm going to use her today again!"
