Uchiha Madara asked this crucial question: "Where will you go from here?"
Sayu seemed stumped by Uchiha Madara's question, nodding silently.
After about half a minute of silence, the girl lifted her head, looking hopefully at Uchiha Madara:
"My companions are dead. I have no face to return. I can only beg you, sir, to take me in. I don't know how to do other things, but I can serve people, like pouring tea and water!"
A meaningful smile appeared on his face, and Uchiha Madara asked:
"Aren't you afraid of just escaping the tiger's den only to enter a wolf's lair?"
Sayu shook her head:
"Things have come to this; I have nothing left to worry about."
"You saw the situation earlier. I kill without batting an eyelid. In a sense, I'm definitely not a good person either!"
"It doesn't matter. I believe it's enough that you, sir, are a good person!"
"If you are to follow me, your future life is bound to undergo tremendous changes, changes you cannot even imagine!"
"It doesn't matter. Whatever changes, I can bear it!"
"Is this your decision after careful consideration!?"
"This is my decision after careful consideration, and furthermore, it is currently the only choice I can make!"
Sayu had gone this far, and Uchiha Madara already had this intention, so he naturally accepted it gladly.
"Good. I just so happen to be lacking a personal maid. Since that's the case, Sayu, you can try to learn and work here for me. Finally, since you are willing to follow me, I must tell you my name. My name is Uchiha Madara!"
As Uchiha Madara's words fell, the eastern sun rose, and the bright morning sunlight shone into the forest. The previously dim forest instantly became brightly illuminated.
The two stood there, between the sunlight and the shadows of the trees, gazing at each other.
Seeing that Uchiha Madara had finally accepted her, and that she at last had a temporary refuge, Sayu, who had been drifting and enduring suffering, could no longer hold back her tears.
She laughed and cried, hastily wiping away her tears with somewhat fumbling hands.
"Yes... thank you, Young Master Madara..."
Uchiha Madara froze, then immediately raised a hand to stop her:
"Stop! You stop it! Don't call me Young Master!"
"Good heavens, those bastards just called me 'Old Master,' and now you're calling me 'Young Master.' The age difference between those two titles is far too great. Although I look relatively young, I am after all several decades old. Sayu, just call me... Lord Madara!"
"Yes! Lord Madara!"
Uchiha Madara nodded, then suddenly remembered something and said:
"Oh, right, you should have done ordinary work in this estate before, so you should be more familiar with it than I am. In that case, why don't you simply lead the maids and servants in the estate?"
"Thank you, Lord Madara!"
"Alright, let's go! And while we're at it, I'll have you change your clothes. With all that blood, it's a bit frightening."
Truthfully, Sayu's white dress was almost entirely covered in bloodstains at this moment, and there was a considerable amount of congealed blood on her body. Indeed, at first glance, it was quite frightening.
Especially, it utterly terrified the people inside this estate.
Originally, the commotion last night had already attracted the attention of the maids and servants in the estate. In their panic, those servants who were not living well at the time had planned to simply leave.
However, Uchiha Madara later subdued the estate's guards and had them protect the estate. With the guards standing watch, not a single servant or maid escaped; those who tried to flee were intimidated back.
Later, these guards informed the servants and maids that their former master was dead and gone. Now, this estate had a new master, and no one was allowed to flee; they were to prepare to welcome and accept the new master's arrival!
This message made the already panicked and anxious servants and maids even more apprehensive.
Although it was a good thing that the cruel and wicked former master was dead, who could be sure that this new master wouldn't be someone similarly evil and ruthless? Such people definitely existed in the capital!
What did the new master look like? What was their personality like? What was the situation? They knew none of this, yet these were precisely their greatest concerns.
If they encountered an even crueler master, then their lives for the latter half would be over!
From midnight, these maids and servants were gathered, waiting. They waited uneasily for half the night, until dawn when everyone was mentally exhausted, before Uchiha Madara finally arrived, accompanied by Sayu.
However, the appearance of these two gave the servants and maids a considerable fright.
Uchiha Madara's demeanor was austere, making it clear at a glance that he was a person of unwavering resolve. And Sayu, covered in fresh blood yet with a slight smile on her face, truly gave these servants and maids a huge scare.
Those who recognized Sayu knew that she was the former master's prey. After word spread from one to ten, and ten to a hundred, these servants and maids were even more terrified!
Sayu, this woman, should have been thoroughly tormented by the previous master. How was it that now she seemed to have become the new master's follower, and what's more, Sayu was covered in fresh blood, clearly indicating she had killed someone!
Thinking this, they were immediately even more horrified, to the point of extreme fear upon deeper thought. These servants and maids did not want to continue thinking further. Working in this estate, they deeply knew that the more they knew, the more dangerous it would be.
Uchiha Madara saw that he had given them a huge scare and told Sayu to clean herself up and change her clothes.
Sayu obediently went down, washed herself clean, changed into a quiet black and white maid uniform, and stood by Uchiha Madara's side, adopting the posture and position of a docile personal maid.
Sitting on the sofa, with Sayu the maid by his side and obedient guards around him, Uchiha Madara looked at the servants and maids before him and began his address:
"...As you already know, this estate has changed its master. From now on, I am your new master! My name is Uchiha Madara. From now on, you may all address me as Lord Madara!"
Next, Uchiha Madara pacified them as usual, essentially telling them to work hard and so on...
