In the first place, it is natural to try to stop someone who tries to sneak up on Kaisar-sama at night, and I would do the same, but for some reason, not only Sarah, the self-proclaimed first slave in front of me, but also the slaves behind her seemed to agree with her.
However, when I heard Sarah’s words, she merely said what every Black Rose member knew: ‘For some reason, Kaisar-sama is incredibly dense when it comes to matters of love.’
I would like to state that this is why we’re on this mission.
“Yes, perhaps Kaisar-sama thinks of his slaves as ‘family’. That’s why he is extremely dense when it is related to love affairs with us.”
“Yes, I think so too… Moreover, it is also clear that he thinks it is rude to have romantic feelings for the slaves because they are like family, and it would be an act of betrayal to them. I appreciate that he values us as family, but for those who want to be a real family—I hate to say this for Kaisar-sama— it is also this value that is the most upsetting.”
“Yes, that’s right. We, Black Rose, want to become a family with Master in the true sense of the word, but if this remains the case, then we will never become a real family, and we can only see a future where we end up getting forced to play along with Kaisar-sama’s ‘family games’.”
I nodded my head broadly at Sarah’s words.
“To begin with, Kaisar-sama sometimes sings ‘Someday, with a back as big as my father’s~~Omitted~~We’re going to make a family of ours’. I was moved by the lyrics and thought he would finally get his hands on us! I’ve been waiting for him every night in my cute underwear in anticipation of his arrival, but no matter how long I waited for him, he never came. Do you know how I felt when I was waiting for him?”
“Certainly, the song lyrics are very moving, and it made me dance with anticipation. In fact, I used to sleep in my bedroom every day with everything ready to go, but no matter how long I waited, there was no sign of him coming to visit at night or even proposing to me!”
It seems that I was not the only victim of that song, which is a bit of a relief, and it looks like Sarah and I will continue to get along well with each other.
“And that’s why I’m supporting your mission. Because once a crack appears in the idea of ‘slaves are family,’ all you have to do is to widen that crack. As they say, it’s hard to make something out of nothing, but it’s easier to make everything with just one thing.”
