Raphtalia POV

"You see, I love you Raphtalia"

Wait. What? Did he just say he loves me????

"Ma-ma-master you l-l-luh what? Can you please say that again?" I asked in a daze. He looked at me and smiled placing his forehead, "I love you Raphtalia...I hope that is okay. Judging by that kiss earlier I think you feel the same way..."

Oh my gosh! Master loves me... me! A Demi-human...

My blush reached past the point of blood red, to be honest I'm probably more purple due to the lack of oxygen. Why is Master is just staring at me..

Wait you big dummy, Raphtalia respond!! Dammit tell him how you feel!!!

" I uhhh I mean you know I can't believe you're in love with me.. I'm just a-"

His face turned from love and passion to seriousness and slight anger I think. He sighed really heavy almost annoyed before he spoke.

"Don't you dare say 'just a Demi-human'. I don't give two shits about that. So what?!? I was an outcast. I was lower than low when you met me. You were my slave for God's sake. How could you even love me??? Demi human, human, I don't care. I love you and all that entails"

Tears were filling my eyes, "oh master! I love you too!". I leaned forward to kiss him again, my heart was racing,

"Who is in there?!?! By order of the Queen no one is to be in the upper garden during the festivities come out! Why is this door locked!"

"Shit! Raphtalia lets go and please call me Naofumi.. I'm not your master. I haven't been for sometime, you've been mine for longer than you know"

Blushing I took his hand leaned in gave him a quick kiss in the lips and said, "okay let's go!" He pulled me up and we sprinted towards the back exit. Smiling and holding his hand I said with all the love I could muster, "Naofumi, I LOVE YOU"

Short Chapter I know! It's been forever guys!! Trying to figure out what which I should take this! Let me know what you think would be cool I have some ideas as well so we shall see!
