"Talk"

'Thought'
________________
'I knew I wasn't strong.'

A day or two has passed since the day of Alexia's kidnapping, and it seems everything has gone back to normal, even the 3 boys who fought the monster have already healed up, thanks to the light magic of their very close friend, Alicia Ehnleit.

'I mean it's reasonable, I just started school, and I only trained a little bit before that, which did help a little.'

Though, speaking of Alicia, while everyone seemed to have moved on since then, maybe even motivated a few to train harder than before.

'But I didn't realize that I was THAT defenseless.'

Alicia, she was completely traumatized after that fateful day, not only that, but she couldn't help but finally realize how useless and weak she was.

'I couldn't even protect my friends, let alone myself.'

Alicia shakes her head and grips her head, as memories continue to plague her mind, endlessly repeating itself on how she and her friends could've been so easily killed without being able to put up a fight.

'If it wasn't for her, my friends would've been killed before Princess Iris could recover.'

Though despite Alicia suffering from these nightmarish truths and horrible realizations, instead of letting it control and break her, she instead used it as a newfound motivation. She was still shaken, but her face was now more determined.

'I-I can't accept this, I can't stay being so weak, not if it puts my friends in danger!'

Alicia went up and slammed open her closet, revealing a maid dress inside, which she glared at them with an obvious goal in mind.

'I could just continue my Academy and get stronger through my classes.'

Without hesitation, Alicia puts on the maid outfit, changing her look as a student into someone who is a servant.

'BUT I NEED TO GAIN MORE POWER FASTER!'

Not only that, but Alicia started to prepare breakfast, which she was an expert at, flipping eggs, cooking bacon, and even brewing some coffee personally, crushing her own beans and mixing it in handmade.

'And there's only one person who can help me with that...'

And after preparing such a delicious meal, Alicia was able to bring it to the room of the person she was hoping to meet, said person that revealed themselves to be when she opened the door, was none other than Cid Kageno himself, who sat on a chair near the window and was reading a book in hand, Ehnleit took a deep breath once she saw him, mentally preparing herself before walking into the room, Kageno didn't even acknowledge her as she placed his breakfast on his table, just continuing to read a book, which did make her more nervous as she felt like she was bothering him.

"Master Cid Kageno, would you like your coffee with or without milk or sugar?"

However, Alicia made it this far to quit now, so she just began to pour a cup of coffee for the person she was currently serving, even asking him if he would like his coffee in a special way.

"With milk, please."

Once the light mage added the milk to the coffee, Cid simply picked up the mug and took a sip. His expression remained unaffected, making it hard for Heroine to tell if he liked it or not. Before she could ask, he cut her off and spoke first.

"You know, I gave you permission to live and enjoy your school life without serving me."

This made Ehnleit tense up and freeze as she watched Cid close the book and set the coffee down, his unfazed face and unreadable eyes now completely focused and looking directly at his so-called maid.

"Which means you want something from me, hm?"

When Cid was able to figure out the true purpose of seeing the light mage here, she couldn't help but break under the pressure and stress, immediately getting down on the floor and bowing so deeply that her head touched the floor, which just made Kageno raise an eyebrow.

"SENSEI! PLEASE ACCEPT ME AS YOUR STUDENT AGAIN!"

As soon as Alicia revealed her desires and intentions, a moment of silence fell between the two. Ehnleit couldn't help but feel more worried and intense pressure. Even beginning to sweat and let out some tears from the stress, she wondered what Cid might say next. But whatever the case, she refused to run away or back out now. She was fully committed to her decision and would do everything to see it through. Though as she was having such complex and overthinking thoughts, Kageno, despite his unmoving face, couldn't help but be beyond confused in the inside of his mind.

'Oh? She wants to continue our little Mentor and Student role play?'
_____________________
Hopefully you're not disappointed with the results of Alicia, BUT ANYWAY! Just saw the new episode of LV99 Villainess and we finally met the Demon Lord himself, assuming he's like the real Demon Lord and not something else in the LV99 Villainess thing, keep in mind I'm only using the Anime/Manga, I don't know much about the Novel, however if you have extra info about this, I'm very interested in learning more.

(Now time to share some ideas on how to use the Demon Lord~)

Main Final Villain: Basically he's the reason the Cult exists, and all the terrible things that happen, also he would be stronger than the original story.

(You probably wouldn't be able to see the Demon Lord for quite a while)

Just Another Pawn: Not only was the Demon Lord just another experiment, like how Aurora was, but once he gets killed, his remains would only strengthen and make the Cult stronger.

(The Demon Lord would be introduced early, maybe after the Rose Arc thing is where the Demon Lord appears, near the ending of Season 2)

Just A Game Event With Vampire: It wouldn't replace the Vampire Arc, but I wanna combine the two into something interesting, also I like the idea of Demon Lord being the Father of Elizabeth or something, which might make Aurora the Demon Lord wife?

(Basically he wouldn't be the main villain of this story, but it does give him a chance of redemption and to live a more happy peaceful life)

Earth Arc Villain: The Demon Lord could be the reason why Earth went to crap, and so Cid and Yumiella will go to Earth to stop this type of thing.

(Alicia and the three boys would also be included, also the Demon Lord would just be treated as a throw away Villain, or maybe something else, not entirely sure but either way he won't be the main Villain)

New Roleplay Buddy: Cid accidentally found the final Boss, and now they're friends.

(Basically the Demon Lord gets reformed, and Cid doesn't realize that the Demon Lord was a Demon Lord)

[THESE ARE JUST IDEAS! Nothing set in stone just yet, however I'm open to suggestions if you have any, or maybe if you do like the ideas I give you, you could give me suggestions on how to make the ideas I made better]
