But for ... I don’t know. Maybe I didn’t want to treat her like a machine. Maybe I wanted her to understand the difference between what she was programd to feel and what she could choose to feel.
Because as strange as it sounded—even for —Anne was starting to show signs of emotion. Tiny ones, subtle ones, little sparks of sothing human inside her chanical core.
And I didn’t want her love to be artificial, just a command in her system. I wanted her to love for real.
Even if she was a robot.
Even if that made no logical sense.
There was sothing about her—sothing more than gears and circuitry—that made think she was beginning to understand what it ant to feel. And maybe... maybe I wanted to give her the space to figure that out without jumping straight into sex.
"Why don’t you try having sex with her?" Agneis suddenly asked, her voice carrying that weird mix of innocence and mischief she always had.
I seriously had no idea why she was asking sothing like that out of nowhere. It didn’t even feel like she wanted to know because of —no, it felt like she was asking just to scratch her own growing curiosity. And god, her curiosity was massive. Honestly, even Artemis, who was usually the one poking her nose into things, wasn’t this damn interested in everything. But now? Yeah, Agneis was clearly stealing that spot without even trying.
"Well, I think it’d be dope to have sex with her, you know... just to try out the waters," I answered, shrugging a little because I honestly couldn’t believe this was an actual conversation we were having.
I never thought I’d reach a point in my life where I’d even consider having sex with a robot maid. Sure, there were concepts of sex dolls back where I ca from, but I never used one. They looked interesting from afar, but I just... didn’t get the appeal. Like, how was fucking sothing chanical supposed to be better than fucking an actual woman? People online said it felt similar, but I didn’t buy it. Maybe I was too old-school or sothing—I didn’t understand what made it appealing.
But Anne... she was different. She wasn’t just an object you place on a shelf. She had a mind—even if it functioned differently from a human one. She moved by her own decisions, reacted by herself. Sure, a single command from could change whatever she was doing, but she still thought enough to choose her actions. But even then, it felt natural for to assu that fucking a real woman would feel better than fucking her.
Still, all of that was just my speculation. No experience. I hadn’t tried it yet. For all I knew, it might actually blow my expectations and end up being way better than I ever assud. Hell, it might even surpass fucking a real woman entirely. No idea. I just hadn’t tested it.
"Fufufu, I think it’d be really entertaining to watch you have sex with her," Agneis said, almost too eagerly. "So if you ever have the ti, please consider letting join in to watch. I want to see how it transfolds right before my eyes."
Yeah, curiosity was definitely killing the cat for her. She looked so damn thrilled—like she was ready to bring a notebook and take notes while watching. It didn’t seem like she had any plans of stopping herself, either.
"Well, I will," I replied. What else could I say at that point?
***
I let my eyes absorb the entire scenery of the Dwarven Kingdom.
Agneis had told she wanted to stay for five days. By the end of that, she’d give her final answer about joining the unification. But honestly, with how smoothly our relationship had been going, I felt like she was leaning toward accepting the terms. It was just a matter of ti.
I really couldn’t imagine what reason she’d have to reject them at this point, especially since everything I explained pretty much scread "your kingdom will be wiped out if you don’t join." Yes, they lived high up on a mountain, safe from land attacks—but they were sitting ducks if the Empire or the Republic ever attacked from the sky.
When I told her that, she said the dwarves could try dispelling the attackers with magic. But I had to tell her straight that it wouldn’t matter. The Republic’s weapons ignored magic entirely, and their strongest barriers would crumble within seconds. There was absolutely nothing they could do against that kind of attack.
But even after hearing all that, Agneis didn’t fully shut the idea down. She still said they wouldn’t blindly agree to anything, but she didn’t outright refuse anymore either. She was clearly weighing it, thinking it through—even if she didn’t want to admit she was leaning toward my side.
Now, all that was left was for her to finally give in.
"You seem like you’re having a good ti here, Master," Amon said beside .
"Well, yeah. The food here is ridiculously good. And Filia’s learning a lot from everyone," I replied.
Filia had been absorbing so much knowledge like a sponge. She was constantly talking with people, especially Agneis. With everything Agneis knew—materials, smithing techniques, battle strategies—Filia was basically in heaven. It was perfect for her since she told she’d hit a bottleneck recently. Being here was probably the best thing that could’ve happened to her.
While those thoughts drifted through my mind, suddenly—
"H-Human!" a dwarf shouted. She was rushing toward , clutching sothing in both hands—heavy and tallic.
The mont I saw what it was, my eyes widened into full saucers.
An arm. A tallic arm. And there was only one person in this entire kingdom who had one of those.
Anne.
I imdiately broke into a run, charging straight toward the where the dwarf had pointed to.
And that was when the full sight hit .
Anne wasn’t just damaged—she was shattered. Torn apart. Pieces of her scattered so violently that I almost didn’t recognize her at first. Her arm and legs were strewn across the ground like discarded scraps. Her face... it was mauled, crushed, beaten into sothing unrecognizable. My mind just blanked. Completely froze.
Then I saw it.
Right there, with its massive jaws clamped around her broken, limbless body—
A demon wolf. Teeth buried deep into what was left of her.
My entire body locked up as the scene burned itself into my eyes.
