Sins Paradise: Domination System

I, the strongest player in Horizon Online, managed to kill the last boss and expected to return to my home. But after defeating the last boss, I was given a bonus stage, where I could choose one game of my choice. Without much thought, I chos

Ceci's lips pressed against mine passionately. Her big boobs squished together, pressing onto my arm.

Garcia began her service as she took my towel off, revealing my already erect cock.

"You're all ready, Master?" Garcia asked, looking up at me through thick lashes while stroking my shaft with her fingertips. "Good." With a wink, Garcia lowered her head, engulfing my rod between her boobs, gently licking the tip.

It tickled slightly, but soon enough, I could feel the warmth of her mouth engulfing my tips—the slimy texture coated my member, making every inch slide in smoothly between her massive breasts.

My free hand played with Cecil's ass as I kept kissing her, enjoying her slow licks.

As we continued, Garcia moved faster, slurping my length and using her hands to hold her breasts, applying pressure and squeezing tightly. Soon after, she switched to bobbing her head, taking more of my shaft inside each time until my balls touched her chin.

Her breasts moved up and down as she sucked me, the motion giving me pleasure, sending shivers down my spine. It was really good!

But...

'Oh shit.'

That moment came sooner than expected. Maybe the aphrodisiac in the lotion also influenced me slightly.

I groaned loudly as I shot out ropes of cum straight into Garcia's throat. Each spurt made her gag a little, which just increased my pleasure. I pulled away from Cecil, who tried to suck my tongue and stood up, watching as Garcia gulped down my seed.

After swallowing everything, she raised her head with a satisfied look, smiling happily.

"Aah! The first course is over, Master." Garcia giggled cutely as she rubbed her belly. "Now, let's continue!"

"Now, the second course." Cecil, who was still kneeling beside me, reached forward and grabbed my dick again.

"Fufuh... It's my turn."

I sighed as she started licking my tip, slowly moving her tongue along its entire surface. Then she stuck her tongue deep into my slit, swirling it around my girth repeatedly.

Soon, her saliva lubricated my cock, allowing her to slide further down. When she finally swallowed my whole length, she moaned softly, wrapping her fingers around my base and pumping her fist rapidly. She moved above me and presented her breasts, offering them to me.

"Do you want to drink my breastmilk while I give you a handjob? Just like last time," she whispered seductively, leaning forwards. "Or would you prefer another way? Or maybe both ways with Garcia?"

Another hand gently strokes my tip. It was Garcia's, and she came from the side and also presented her breasts, pushing them against Cecil.

"Master~ Please suck my nipple at the same time as Cecil. I also want you to suck my nipple. It's already hard…"

"Of course, come here," I replied and grabbed their ass while putting their nipples in my mouth, biting them gently.

Their bodies shivered and shook as they leaned backward, letting me lick and play with their breasts and nipples. Their soft flesh was slippery, and I enjoyed myself by sliding my tongue across them.

Meanwhile, Garcia pumped her fist vigorously, massaging my shaft and playing with my balls. Cecil played with my balls too. The minotaur girl also licked my ear, giving me more stimulation.

And then...

"Ahh..."

"Hnn~!"

Something hot and wet filled my mouth. It was sweet and delicious. Cecil's breast milk squirted out her nipple as my finger entered her wet slit. Garcia also moaned in pleasure, moaning as I fingered her clit and used my thumb to rub her G-spot.

"Mn~! Ahhh~! Mmm~!"

Both of them were incredibly horny, and the aphrodisiac in the lotion definitely helped to make them more sensitive. I couldn't hold back any longer and gestured to Cecil. She immediately moved and put my entire cock inside her mouth, sucking it greedily.

With my hands busy, I slid my middle finger into Garcia's dripping cunt, fucking her with short thrusts. She gripped my wrist and squeezed it tight, mewling in pleasure. Her nipple was wet from my saliva, and her breasts bounced wildly as she jerked me off.

At the same time, Cecil moaned and bucked her hips, grinding her crotch against my leg. She stopped sucking me and moved above me as Garcia moved away slightly.

"Fufufu, shoot it in my womb, Master~" Cecil grinned evilly, lowering her crotch towards my cock. "Please fill my uterus with your sperm."

"Nnggghhhh~!"

Cecil moved down slowly, forcing my cock into her vagina. The sensation of being completely stuffed sent shivers throughout my spine, and I gritted my teeth. However...

"Ooh! Oh goddess~!" The minotaur girl experienced more pleasure than me.

"Master, me too..." Garcia begged, pulling my head close and sticking her tongue into my mouth.

We shared a passionate kiss as I continued to fuck Cecil, plunging deeper and harder until my pelvis hit her ass. We both gasped and moaned as our tongues danced, and I could feel her pussy clenching around my cock.

When I felt the familiar tightening in my loins, I sped up, pounding Cecil's insides and eliciting loud whimpers from her. My orgasm neared fast, and I wanted to finish it quickly so I could keep going.

Screw holding back. I could take a stamina recovery potion in case the twenty Succubi also wanted to fuck me tomorrow.

Cecil kept moaning loudly, "Ooh! Ooooh! Yes! Fuck mee! Cum inside my pussy, Master!"

"Yes, yes~! Fill me with your cum too, Sir Arthur!" Garcia moaned as well, grabbing my thighs and spreading her legs wide open. She needed to wait as I wasn't finished with Cecil yet.

I pounded my cock into Cecil, burying my entire length inside her and filling her with semen. She screamed loudly, her voice echoing through the room.

"Yessss! Yeeeees!"

Then I released it.

Ropes of white cum spurted out of my cock, splattering inside Cecil's womb. I grunted and groaned, shooting wave after wave of sticky cum inside her. After emptying my balls into her, she collapsed onto me, panting heavily. Her ass was raised, and she let the sticky semen drip onto my cock.

My perverted half-Succubus nun immediately took my cock inside her mouth, licking it clean without even asking permission. Her moan of pleasure echoed in the bathroom. Then she moved Cecil's ass away and began to read me, plunging my cock into her tight, drenched pussy.

"Uwaaahhhhh~!" Cecil moaned loudly as my cock penetrated her slit. "Fuck me harder, Sir Arthur! Give it to me~!"

Garcia gave me an evil grin as she ground her crotch against my thigh, rubbing herself against me.

'What happens with the massage?!'

Both of them seemed to forget about it. Cecil was exhausted fast and was currently panting with her tongue stuck out beside me. She massaged her own breasts and played with her clit.

Meanwhile, Garcia had removed her micro bikini entirely and was now moving up and down vigorously, her breasts swaying lewdly as she rode me.

"Aaah~! Hah, oh, Goddess... Please forgive this nun for having sex with your Paladin! This is unforgivable... But I love it!" Garcia moaned as she climaxed on top of me. "Ahhh... Aaaaaah~! Nggghh!! Cumming!!"

She came hard, shaking violently before collapsing next to me, breathing raggedly. Her tongue stuck out in pleasure as her entire body twitched.

I looked at Cecil, whose eyes were closed in blissful ecstasy. She was lying on her stomach, and I saw her ass jiggling as she shifted position.

"Master~ Please do me from behind." The minotaur girl's tail moved wildly, slapping her own butt cheek.

I chuckled lightly and turned around, facing her rear end. Then I positioned my cock right below her asshole and pushed.

"Mmph~!" Cecil grunted, shifting uncomfortably as my penis slipped past her anal ring. "T-That hole is! Not that hole! Aaah!"

Without waiting for her to complain, I thrust forward once more. Her anus resisted but eventually relaxed as my cock entered her bowels.

"Haah... Haah... Haah..." Cecil's face contorted as she struggled to relax, gasping loudly. "Oh fuck! It's so good!" Her breasts swayed around, squirting milk all over her chest and abdomen.

The feeling of penetrating her ass was incredible. There was something different compared to vaginal intercourse, though it didn't hurt or anything. It simply felt very pleasurable - especially since her muscles tightened around my shaft when I entered her.

A pink lotion that was now covering her chocolate skin acted as a lube, making it easier to penetrate her and stimulate the nerves inside her rectum. In fact, the lotion itself was quite thick and creamy; it smelled strongly of vanilla.

I kept fucking Cecil's asshole, drinking her milk, and then fucked Garcia. Eventually, we ended up doing 69, where Cecil ate my cock while I drank her milk.

Those two were extremely happy afterward, and I went to bed early after cleaning the pink lotion and bathing with them. They presented their thighs as my pillow and actually massaged me alternatively afterward.

It felt good.

And just like usual, Vivian peeped at us, and I heard someone masturbating in the room above us.

"Hnn… I can't hold it anymore! I am such a bad mother!"

Inside Vivian's room, a figure of a beautiful woman with a curvy body and good proportions could be seen squirming on the bed, kneading her large breast with one hand while the other played with her lower lips covered in a thin layer of public hair.

Her expression was twisted by pleasure. As she bit her lips to keep herself from moaning, saliva seeped out from the corner.

Love juices already drenched her bed sheet, and her hand was covered in clear liquid she had smeared all over her body.

A faint light shone around her blue eyes, indicating that she used a Clairvoyance to peek into the room just below her bed.

The sight she saw wasn't that of her bedroom but a bathroom where a boy who saw her as a mother figure was serviced by a girl with chocolate-colored skin whom she thought of as a second daughter and her servant, a silver-haired maid.

Both of them had boobs larger than Vivian's. She should note that the minotaur girl was lactating, and the boy drank directly from her nipples like a baby! But she seemed to enjoy it so much, especially when his cock penetrated deep into her pussy.

The moan Vivian heard from her connection with Clairvoyance was infectious, making her get aroused and play with herself. She even orgasmed many times while peeping and used her fingers to relieve herself.

Because she had no minotaur blood and didn't lactate like Cecil, Vivian could only stimulate her nipple while moving her lips around, imagining it was her that was in her surrogate daughter's position.

When they were done, Vivian climaxed for the ninth time. Her back arched as she wetted love juice to the bed. The servants would surely have a hard time cleaning it.

Panting heavily, Vivian covered her face with her hands, ignoring her own love juice that smeared over her fingers.

"Hnn… I-I did it again… Since when am I turning into such a pervert? I… I actually spied on my daughter and surrogate daughter having s-sex with a boy who thought of me as her mother. I-Isn't this a grave sin?! I am such a Sinner!"

Even if she said that the voice of the Goddess didn't tell her that she gained Sins, that meant her act was justified by the Goddess for whatever reason.

"Hnn… I can't hold it anymore! I am such a bad mother! If this goes on…I…"

Her voice was cut short by a low sob. She felt really low and guilty.

"I-I should tell Arthur about what I did. I should be honest and say that I am sorry. Somehow I feel really strange, and I… can't help myself."

Vivian nodded to herself. The warmth covering her body seemed to settle a little, but her lower lips twitched slightly as she imagined something that happened two nights ago. It was when she peeped into Arthur's room just like usual and saw the image of him doing something with her 'sister' and Eliza.

'What if…' A thought flashed into her mind, but she quickly shook her head to dispel it.

However, that was enough to make her aroused again.

"J-Just one last time."

Using her memory as her guide, she spanked her own ass and played with her clit. Somehow, it felt really good, and she loved it.

"Oooh~ Yes!"

A day passed, and morning arrived with Cecil and Garcia on my bed. They gave me double blowjobs service, using their long tongues to pleasure my tip and shaft.

I sprayed a thick rope of cum onto their faces, and they used their hands to lick them clean before bidding me good morning.

The perverted nun and the minotaur girl got off my bed afterward, giving me a fresh squeeze of warm milk inside a glass. I drank it happily and took a shower before going to have breakfast with the others. Of course, as my 'lover,' Cecil also joined my breakfast with Eliza and her mom.

Somehow Madam Vivian looked guilty while stealing glances at me. Still tired from yesterday, Eliza only had a light meal without noticing her mother's strangeness. I also only acted naturally, smiling gently while enjoying the cheeky nun's meal as I noticed her smiling playfully in the corner of the room.

'Ah, she also knows about what Vivian did, huh?'

Probably she heard her moaning or a trace of her masturbating while cleaning her room.

I put my index finger on top of my mouth, gesturing for Milea to stay quiet. She made an 'OK' sign before leaving to get the dessert as we almost finished our food.

Afterward, Eliza and I left for the Academy. On the way, Eliza abruptly stopped and spoke.

"Will we train again after school?"

Her lips quivered as she looked at me with teary eyes.

"That's the plan," I replied honestly, and Eliza bit her lips. "Do you want to stop? I was just joking about the threat yesterd–"

"No…" She interrupted me with a strong voice and approached me.

When she got close, her blue eyes clearly reflected my face.

"I will continue." Eliza spoke with determination.

"I… You need me to win this tournament, right? I know that you're doing something with the headmistress, or she wouldn't call me to her office yesterday. She did that because she was worried and… placed hope in me. You planned something with the headmistress, and the Royal Academy needs to win in order for that plan to bear fruit. Am I wrong?"

Sometimes, I forgot that Eliza was smart from the way she acted like a tsundere and when she was in bed acting like an animal in heat. Even Alesia chose her to place her hope in 'replacing' the missing Princess to win the general study and magic division.

The headmistress, who always observed her Academy and students, surely knew Eliza's intelligence.

'I have underestimated my own girlfriend, don't I?'

What a tomfoolery. I was too used to being surrounded by 'amazing' people just by looking at their Level. All the girls around me were smart. I should depend on them more instead of doing everything by myself.

And until now, I only asked for help for something that I couldn't do and settled everything by myself. So I answered Eliza with a nod.

"That's right."

Her eyes widened, and her lips curved up as if she was proud that she was able to guess my plan.

"As expected." She crossed her arms and nodded. "There is no way you are that sadist. You never actively tried to cure my fear of heights until yesterday."

'That's because I am busy.' I wanted to retort, but I decided not to and began to walk again.

We continued our walk toward the academy while talking in a low voice. I told her that the headmistress requested me to help the Royal Academy win this tournament.

Trusting Eliza and asking her to help me with my plan was good and all. But I only told her some important parts, not my promise to Alesia.

At least I wouldn't tell her until Beatrice made sure everything on her end had no problem. That would only put Eliza in unnecessary danger if our plan was known by other parties or Alesia's enemy if she had any.

I wasn't sure if there was this 'enemy' I spoke of, but better be safe than sorry.

'I will tell her in the future. At least I have already told her about the short-term plan to win the Annual Tournament and make her motivated to help.'

Arriving at the Academy, I went to Class 3 with Eliza before going toward Alesia's office on the third floor.

Last night, when Garcia and Cecil massaged me alternatively, I asked them where they got the pink lotion and what it was. I had a similar thing in my inventory, although the effect was more potent, so I was curious.

The first reason was its ingredients and where it originated. My guess was the Underground City near this Academy City, which I had no idea of.

My Presence Detection radar was versatile but not omniscient. If the Underground City were built deep inside, just like Border City, I wouldn't be able to find it. At most, I would only be able to find people who came out of the city.

'And most probably, they entered and left the city with [Teleportation Gem, so their location wasn't known.'

As for Cecil, I heard she met with a friend who moved to Academy City for a trade to buy that aphrodisiac lotion. That friend was also a former pirate who changed his occupation to a merchant because he managed to get rid of his Sins.

Still, because he had once dealt with drugs, and that was where he got his Sins, he no longer got any Sins when dealing with drugs anymore. Such a strange system by the Goddess, but I knew he would still gain Sins in the future when the number of illegal drugs he sold to people reached a certain amount.

As for now, the merchant boasted to Cecil that not only normal civilians but Nobles also bought his product, even knowing that an aphrodisiac that increased lust could as well be an illegal item in the Virtue Kingdom.

Or maybe they didn't know that there was an aphrodisiac in the lotion and only used it because it was fun and gave a variety to play with their wives. I didn't know anything about that.

My second reason was that I deemed this lotion could be dangerous. The fact it appeared only now, and I had never heard of it spreading outside the Border City, was enough of a factor to make me suspicious that this aphrodisiac was from the Sin Kingdom.

Yes, the only place I knew who used this lotion was the Border City. Nina held a similar pink liquid when I asked for her to serve me that time. But that was an aphrodisiac liquid and not a lotion.

Who could sneak it into the Virtue Kingdom if it was indeed from the Sin Kingdom? Teleportation between the two Kingdoms was impossible because of the interference of the barren land. The only way to sneak the lotion in was through a legal path or through the Border City.

They could also only sneak in the recipe of the lotion, however…

'The timing of its appearance was also coincidentally matched with Duke Blacktomb's stay. If Alesia knows nothing about this, I probably will need to go to the Border City to ask that bunny girl. They surely know something about this aphrodisiac lotion.'

Anyway, if I knew the source and the ingredient, I would be able to judge whether it was safe to use or not. I also had instructed Cecil not to use it for now, but I kind of forgot to tell her to investigate it.

'It's not really an urgent problem. Heck, it might become my source of money if I managed to take over and control whoever makes this lotion. The effect is real, and I didn't really notice the side effects even after Garcia smeared it all over our bodies.'

Yes, I just wanted to sate my curiosity.

"Headmistress, are you inside?"

Knock knock knock!

Arriving in front of her office, I knocked on the door and called out to her.

"Enter." A voice answered shortly after, and I pushed the door open.

Inside, Alesia was facing stacks of documents on her desk. On the couch was Emilia, facing the same amount of documents too. When I entered, both of them stopped and looked at me.

"Art- student Arthur?" Emilia called out, not expecting that I was the one who entered because she focused on the documents.

She also changed the way she called me as the headmistress was in the room.

'She doesn't need to do that, though. Alesia is already aware of our relationship.' I chuckled in my mind as I watched Emilia's confused face.

"What are you doing here?"

"I want to ask headmistress Alesia about something," I replied as I sat across from her, turning my attention to Alesia. "Did you know anything about a new kind of lotion that could increase lust and women's sensitivity that is now circulating around the Virtue Kingdom?"

As I asked Alesia, I didn't fail to notice Emilia's body jolted slightly, as if she recognized what I was talking about. Did she buy it too? As a daughter of a noble house, Dixon County, and a massive pervert, she probably heard about it somewhere and decided to try it.

The older elf nodded to answer my question.

"I am aware." She said, "But I do nothing about it. It came from an Underground City near the Capital City. It's circulating as a new massage lotion that could make a woman energetic. Are you interested in that?"

"Yes." I nodded without hiding my interest. We all knew that I slept with many girls here.

The headmistress even spied once when I did it with Emilia in the Counseling Room.

Then, I continued, "I tried it yesterday with my nun and lover, a former pirate named Cecil. They apparently bought it from Cecil's friend. When I used it, I immediately noticed something. It contains an aphrodisiac, which makes a woman energetic and increases their lust."

The latter part was important, and Alesia narrowed her eyes slightly. It seemed like she wasn't aware of that part and urged me to continue my question with her eyes.

"Do you know who spread the lotion first, and when it first appeared? Because I suspected your new friend was the one who intentionally spread this lotion to make this Kingdom in disarray."

I wouldn't allow that to happen. Not only would that give me trouble, but the safety of this Kingdom would also worsen.

I wouldn't have to ask if the lotion was only circulated in the Underground City. However… the story was different if it was spread even to a normal city.

'Beatrice is working hard to break King Cassius and push him to become better while influencing the Queen to turn to my side. Not only that, the Church would definitely get involved if many citizens suddenly gained Sins more than usual.'

If that happened, they would surely need my help to restore the balance. And I would need to work harder because they were already addicted to using the lotion!

'My nuns are fine because I can clean their bodies with Purification and use Cure to remove the addiction of using the lotion if there was any. I have seen the effect of using stimulants on Cecil, but her natural sensitivity has increased from my training, and she didn't need my sense enhancement potion to make her feel like she was in heaven when having sex.'

I needed to stop the lotion from spreading further because I didn't want to work. On top of that, there was a personal goal of mine, and the matter of Alesia's dream could be disturbed if the lotion indeed came from the Sin Kingdom.

"I will look into this matter." Alesia put down her pen and stood up. "I didn't know it contained an aphrodisiac, so I never looked into it deeply. Also, I will inform King Cassius about this so they can mobilize their kingdom knights to get the already spread lotions. As for you–"

"And I will ask the church too." I nodded at her, knowing what she wanted to say next. Standing up, I continued, "They will surely treat this matter seriously."

"Yes." Alesia nodded in agreement. Then she looked at Emilia. "Teacher Emilia, I will leave the documents to you. Please finish it before school is over."

A magic circle appeared under Alesia's feet, and she teleported away right after saying that.

"Yes." Emilia nodded firmly, but she looked really tired and dejected.

Smiling, I fished out two stamina recovery potions and put them on the table.

"Good luck, Emilia. We can use that thing you bought before tonight in my mansion if you want." I showed an understanding smile, and she beamed happily.

"Perfect timing… I wanted to try it tonight before it became prohibited. And coincidentally, tomorrow I have a day off." She said with an expectant look. "I am sexually frustrated, so get ready to do it until morning, Arthur."

"I can handle that." I smiled confidently. "Should I invite another girl too to make sure you aren't the one who got exhausted? Even my nun, Garcia, couldn't handle the pleasure of that lotion and needed rest after each session."

"Is the aphrodisiac effect that strong?" Emilia asked with a shocked look, but it was also mixed with arousal. She probably imagined herself covered in the pink lotion and was fucked until she fainted.

"It is," I confirmed with a nod. "It also increases your sensitivity, so you will feel almost twice the pleasure than usual."

"That's truly a prohibited lotion, then. I thought it was similar to a massage oil lotion that only made one feel a bit better."

When she said that, her gesture of licking her lips seductively betrayed her words. As expected from a perverted teacher, she just wanted to satisfy her sexual desire and didn't even care about the side effects.

'Well, as far as I know, the lotion is still relatively safe, and its side effects are probably only an addiction because their pleasure is enhanced. But if we use it sparingly and not every day, there should be no problem.'

Perhaps this lotion would be able to be sold in the Virtue Kingdom as long as we dilute the aphrodisiac effect a little.

'That's my main goal. I want to be in charge of its production and control where I can spread it. Just like Border City, I will probably let another person manage it and report it to the church.'

That way, not only could I limit it to Underground Cities, but I would also hold control of a business. And I wanted to make sure it had nothing to do with Duke Blacktomb before I visited him.

If the distribution indeed had something to do with him, I wanted to know what that was. This matter could be left to Alesia. She surely understood her assignment, as I mentioned 'new friend' earlier, to investigate the Duke.

'I also can't sit idly. After visiting the church and looking at the Succubi nuns' condition, I would visit Nina to discuss this matter with the professional. Probably she knows more than Alesia about the lotion.'

Who knew that Garcia's surprise at coating herself in the pink lotion and giving me a massage would turn into this?

And so I bid farewell to Emilia and went to the church.

When I arrived, I noticed that Sana wasn't in her office. In fact, she wasn't in the church.

'It's strange.' I thought. 'Is she going out on an inspection or not? As an Archbishop, I thought she wasn't allowed to leave the church without any clear reason.'

I had [Earring of Communication] connected to Sana but didn't contact her. It dawned on me that she said she would report the matter of the Princess to the Pope.

'She probably was called to the Holy City after she reported it. That's a plausible explanation.'

When I checked my radar again, a blue dot was walking toward Sana's office. That dot entered casually and stayed inside for quite some time. When I brought up the name, it turned out the dot belonged to Ertha.

"Oh? Perfect."

That nun with twin-tailed blue hair was a talented Bishop who temporarily replaced the Archbishop in the Bluerose Duchy and was a Holy Maiden and one of the Goddess' Holy Bodies, meaning she was someone whose body could be used for the Goddess when she descended to this land.

And at the same time, Ertha was someone who was responsible for the Succubi nuns.

"Let's meet her before checking the Succubi."

Stopping by the training area could wait until later. I wanted to see how the church responded to the information I would give them about the aphrodisiac lotion that was spread lately.

I went through the main entrance and saw some people praying to the naked Goddess statue. When I looked at the Goddess' face, it had a resemblance to Beatrice's.

"Hahaha…" I couldn't help but laugh. Somehow, I guessed the Goddess statue in Luxuria Church in the Sin Kingdom was the same or even the younger version of this one as a primordial Succubus turned into their young form when they didn't experience an orgasm once a day. "I can somehow see that."

Many nuns walked past and smiled nicely as I went to the inner area of the church. Arriving in front of Sana's office, I knocked twice because the one inside was Ertha.

"Is there anyone inside?"

"Y-Yes! Ertha is inside, Your Holi– Kya!"

Thud! Crash!

A loud sound echoed from inside, followed by a crashing sound. It was so loud that I could hear it outside and was worried, so I pushed the door open.

The sight of Ertha's butt with her string white panties as her skirt lifted up entered my eyes first. She was buried under papers and grunted in pain. The table in the middle of the office was knocked slightly, and her feet trembled.

'Did she just slam her toes against the table and tumble down?'

That was possible, considering Ertha was blindfolded. But how did she work on a document like that? Strange.

"Ouch ouch. T-That hurts."

Bishop Ertha raised her body and fixed her custom nun dress.

"Bishop Ertha?" I called out to her, and she smiled wryly as a warm green light covered her toe. She activated Heal to ease the pain.

"H-Hahaha. P-Please excuse my shameful display, Your Holiness. I wasn't familiar with the layout of this room yet."

"It's okay," I replied and approached her, extending my hand. "Let me help you."

"T-Thank you very much!" She extended her hand back, grabbing mine.

I helped her to stand up and let her sit on the couch across from mine. Then I also tidied the scattered documents and fixed the table position. The shy Bishop smiled bitterly as she apologized for making me do this. Her veil that was knocked out earlier was put on her head again, covering her blue hair.

"I am truly sorry. To think I would trouble Your Holiness like this…"

After everything was back in place, she bowed to me.

"It's okay. Raise your head, Bishop Ertha." I spoke in a soft voice. She followed my request and raised her head. Then I asked, "Where is Archbishop Sana?"

"Archbishop Sana was called by Her Eminence the Pope to the Holy City. She said if Your Holiness asked me, I should tell you that it is related to what you were talking about before." Ertha replied calmly, smiling softly as she fidgeted out of nervousness.

Hearing her answer, I nodded, 'As expected. She was called because the matter with the Princess is a sensitive issue even for the church. It's different from when I declared Alexander Bluerose as a Sinner. The other party this time is the first Princess beloved by many people.'

"Alright then," I said as I pushed the topic away. It was as good as over if Sana managed to convince those in the Holy City to declare the Princess as a Sinner. "I will leave something with you then. I assume you can order the church knight and the hidden force under Sana to investigate something, right?"

"Yes, Your Holiness. Do you need some help to investigate something?" Ertha asked, her tone sounding serious.

"Help me investigate the pink, slimy lotion that was recently sold to various commoners and nobles. Provide me with a detailed report of its name, origin, suspected origin, and distribution source. My source told me it probably originated from the Underground Cities.

"Can I expect it to be done today and get at least some general lotion information?"

I immediately went straight to the point without wasting time on pleasantries.

"Your wish is our command, Your Holiness." Ertha put her hands together as if she was praying and nodded, "I will inform the shadow squad to collect the information. May I borrow Lisa or Lara, one of them, to lead the shadow squad?"

'The twin?' I was a bit shocked, but I kept a calm face. 'They are the leader of this shadow squad?'

Ertha only said one of them, so both of them had similar strengths and leadership. Sana truly only gave me the best nuns in Academy City to serve me as my servants.

"I will tell them."

"Thank you very much, Your Holiness. We will try our best to meet your expectations."

Lastly, I asked Ertha where I could find the Succubi before excusing myself.

The Bishop didn't ask what kind of lotion it was or my goal and only agreed to help me. It was kind of surprising and a little scary. Once again, I was amazed at how great my authority was.

I probably could move this whole church to take over the kingdom if I wanted to.

'But that's too much and troublesome. Besides, it's too conspicuous.'

Controlling the Royal Family from the shadow was enough. That was why I asked Beatrice to spread rumors and influence the Queen.

I just needed to sit back before the plan was cooked perfectly. As for the matter of the lotion, I also just needed to wait for their report.

"I wonder how the Succubi will greet me." Muttering, I took a yellow stamina potion and drank it. The taste was similar to an energy drink, and I felt refreshed immediately. "I am ready no matter how they will attack me later."

And so, I opened the door where the special room for the Succubi was. Twenty pair of hungry eyes belonging to beautiful girls wearing sexy nun clothes immediately landed on me. I heard they were separated from men to avoid unwanted incidents.

And so, they were now quite hungry. I was like meat ready to be devoured.

Report chapter Comments

It didn't take long. Yes, it was only a few hours since I entered the room full of Succubi. Once I entered, they attacked me immediately, stripping me out of my clothes.

Then just like what happened back in that cave, some girls began to suck my cock and used their bodies to wring me dry.

Next, I had sex with all of them; each got a good creampie before they returned to their sanities and slept. They were satisfied with that, and some even had massive orgasms many times.

As for me, I enjoyed every second of it and even got extra 60 Sins from this session because some also wanted to be fucked in the ass, and I took their asshole virginity.

Other than that, I also finished one of Sana's requirements, having sex with 10 nuns. As expected, the Succubi already considered Castitas Church's nuns. The room was stained, and I used Purification before leaving for the training area.

When I reached the training area, The sun was already high in the sky, and I missed the female knights. According to the church knights training there, they had already gone off to patrol.

'It's a shame I can't see their reaction to what happened yesterday.'

I spent too much time in the Succubi room. Still, those knights had expectant eyes, and I couldn't return before doing something.

In the end, I had a light spar with some of them in order to learn how to hold back for the tournament.

Unlike the female knights, who were thirsty and wanted my touch, these male knights were motivated to beat me. So I exerted a little bit of my strength and knocked them unconscious. Some had broken limbs, but that could be solved with High Heal.

Before the sky turned orange, I ended it and returned home. Tristan was still in her dorm. This time Rania was with her. Did they talk about the duel? If that were the case, I wouldn't bother them and let them talk about it. I loved a surprise, especially when it was prepared to make me happy.

When I returned to my mansion, I told Lisa and Lara about the matter with the church shadow squad and that Ertha needed one of them to be the leader of the investigation. Lisa, the older twin, decided that she would be the one who did it.

"Alright. Bring Garcia and Cecil with you. They know what kind of lotion I talked about, so they will be able to help."

"Yes, Your Holiness."

And so, she went inside to fetch Garcia and Cecil. The three of them appeared from the mansion shortly after, with the two girls looking at me with confusion.

"The lotion you used last night is actually an illegal item. Help Lisa to track them for me."

The former pirate sighed loudly, "Can you let go of my friend, boy? He wanted to turn over a new leaf by being a merchant and probably didn't know about it."

"No problem. Ask for his cooperation, too, if he knows the source. Not only would I spare him, but I would also reward him for his cooperation."

Hearing my words, Cecil grinned at me, "You're really shrewd, aren't you?"

'Yes, Cecil. I want to use this to my own advantage.' I replied secretly in my mind.

"Sir Arthur, umm… I didn't know that it was an illegal item. I am sorry." Garcia bowed at me apologetically.

"I am not mad, Garcia. You prepared that to surprise me, and I am happy with that." I replied and patted her head. Leaning slightly, I then whispered into her ear. "Besides, I'd love to use it again. I just can't allow its free distribution to other people. Do you get that?"

"Y-Yes." The perverted nun raised her head and smiled. "I will do my best to help them track it."

"I am counting on you girls."

The three of them left for the church afterward, but not until Cecil changed into a crop top and wore long black leggings. The minotaur girl somehow managed to wear a bikini and short skirt again, but only in the house.

I also gave Lara a magic item to create a barrier to protect the mansion because her burden would increase without Lisa here. Not only that, but I also asked Sandra to help Lara, and the dark elf agreed easily.

After that, I entered my mansion to rest. Just when I stepped into the lobby, I was called by someone.

"Arthur, do you have a little time to spare?"

Tracing the source of the voice, I noticed Vivian standing while holding her arms. Her smile looked a bit strange, and she seemed to be nervous.

"Do you want to have a small tea time with me? Fufufu, we haven't talked much, so I want to use this chance to talk with you, as everyone seems to be busy today." She continued and held her cheek, giggling elegantly. However, she still seemed to hide something.

'Is it about last night? I heard her muttering about telling me honestly.'

The corner of my lips couldn't help but rise in a soft smile.

"That's a good idea, Madam. I don't mind accompanying you to have a small tea time."

"Great!" Vivian clasped her hands together and smiled. "I will ask Linda and Jane to prepare the tea. You can wait at the tea table outside, Arthur. I will be done in minutes."

I nodded at her, "I will trouble you with that, Madam."

"It's nothing. I am the one who invited you. Fufufu, see you in a minute." Saying so, Vivian strode away.

For a while, I looked at her back, which wasn't covered with her dress. For some reason, she dressed more openly than usual, and the back area only covered a bit of her bouncy ass.

'Is she expecting something other than confessing what she did every night?'

If that was the case, it was something to look forward to.

Vivian was beginning to fall due to the influence of the environment, where all the girls in this mansion were hungry predators who loved to sleep with me. That included her own daughter and my masochistic sister. That should be enough hint that I wouldn't mind sleeping with her, too, as I also liked her as a woman.

I went outside and sat on the chair around the round table with a white sheet. Lara and Sandra were nowhere to be found, but I could sense their presence.

Before long, Vivian appeared from within the mansion with Linda and Jane behind her. The two maids were still dressed in the typical French maid outfit, which looked good on them. They brought a tray full of a teapot, cups, and some sweets.

Vivian sat across from me with a smile, emphasizing her breasts with her arms, and smiled softly as the maids prepared the table. It didn't take long before they finished, and Vivian ordered them to leave us alone. Both maids complied and went inside the mansion.

As they left, I smiled at Vivian, who poured tea for me. She seemed to purposely bend forward to make me notice her cleavage, which was more exposed than usual.

'As expected, she's trying to seduce me. But… she's too naïve for a married woman. I have been seduced by Garcia, Emilia, and even Milea many times. Just a little cleavage view won't work.' I thought inside my head.

Then, I decided to be a little bit frank to see her reaction.

"Somehow, you look different from the usual, Madam. You look more beautiful."

Vivian's body jolted slightly as she pulled away and sat on the chair again.

"Thank you for your flattery, Arthur. Fufufu, you really know how to make this old lady happy."

"It's not flattery, Madam. I honestly think you're beautiful." I interjected her with a serious tone, making her smile falter a little. "But let's end it at that. I believe you have something to talk about with me?"

I raised the cup full of tea and enjoyed its aroma. It smelled good.

At that moment, Vivian fidgeted a little, an unfit gesture for someone of her age. She hesitated, opening and closing her mouth repeatedly before gulping a little.

Then as I moved the cup closer to my mouth to take a sip, she suddenly spoke.

"I am sorry, Arthur. But can you grant my little wish?"

I stopped and looked at her through the steam that was raised from the hot tea. Slowly, I put the cup back without sipping its content and asked.

"What's troubling you, Madam? Please do tell me about it. I will definitely help if it's within my power."

"You're really kind," Vivian muttered with a guilty smile. "Before I tell you my little wish, I must confess something. Will you hear me out?"

"Absolutely." I nodded firmly, giving her a reassuring smile.

Looking down, Vivian clasped her hands together and put them in front of her chest.

"Actually… I have sinned." She began in a low voice. Her lips quivered as she continued. "I… I have been using you… No, I… I spied on you and used you to satisfy my desire. I am such a dirty woman! I am a bad mother!

"Yes, I have been spying on you while you are having sex. Not only that, but I was also masturbating while imagining that I have sex with you, someone I thought was my own son and my beloved daughter's boyfriend. I… I have sinned!"

Hearing Vivian's confession, I looked at her with a flat face devoid of emotion. She didn't stop at that.

"I spied every night, unable to hold off my desire and lust. Yes, I understand that I am lusting after you. I… I am such a hypocrite! I hate my former husband cheating on me, but I lust after my daughter's beloved. I am not fit to be a mother! I have had enough of hiding it from you and decided to confess.

"Please… Do punish this bad mother. Do take me to the church and brand me as a Sinner. I… I failed to meet your expectations. I am not good enough to be your mother figure."

"That's enough, Madam." I decided to interrupt her with a soft voice and held her hand gently before she said anything more.

If I let her ramble again, it would only increase her guilt.

"I don't really mind that. In fact, I must confess something to you too."

Vivian raised her face. It was stained with tears that dripped from the corner of her eyes.

"You don't mind?" She asked in a low voice. "But I…"

"I am already aware that you're spying on me," I said with a soft tone.

"And I know my sister Rania and my nuns are aware of it too. I don't know about Eliza and Cecil, but almost everyone in the mansion is aware of what you did, and we didn't mind at all nor think of you as unworthy as a mother. You're a wonderful person and just a little bit frustrated."

"No, you're wrong!" Vivian disagreed as she shook her head. "I am not frustrated. I… I really am lusting after you! Looking at you doing that with other girls makes me aroused. I love to watch you treat my daughter harshly, making her have a dirty look on her face, staining her with your semen!"

'Isn't she too honest now?' I thought as I listened to her.

"I love to watch you spank your sister, who bullied my daughter in the past. And I imagined myself in her place, on top of my daughter, while you thrust your big cock inside me, impregnating me with your child. I… I am a Sinner! I am a dirty woman who loves watching my son and daughter having sex!"

I did want to make Vivian fall by purposely showing my play with Eliza, Cecil, and Rania without interrupting her Clairvoyance, but…

'Isn't she falling too deep? I mean… she has turned into a perverted milf.'

Without me doing anything to her, she just peeped at us and masturbated on herself. Combined with her frustration of having her husband cheat on her, she turned all that into lust when she coincidentally watched me take Eliza's virginity in Rose Barony.

'And she can't stop until she turns like this.'

"That's why I have a little request." Vivian looked at me with her eyes turned red from crying. "Please satisfy me before I confess to the church that I am such a Sinner. That I have fallen to my own lust."

Vivian's smile turned into a desperate one. She was begging me with her eyes like a broken woman.

"Madam," I spoke in a reassuring tone as I clutched her hands tighter. "You aren't at fault."

"But I… I did something unforgivable–!"

"Everyone is like that." I interrupted her. "I will tell you the truth that I haven't told anyone yet. Only a few people know about this."

If I let her continue, it would break Vivian. She had fallen by herself before I could even take action to 'coincidentally' see her and expose her to Eliza or Cecil. That made me wonder whether Vivian was actually a massive pervert with a voyeur since the start.

When Linda showed her the recording of her husband cheating, she only frowned in displeasure and divorced him for Eliza's happiness. At first, I thought it was because she didn't love him, but now I know the real reason.

'Vivian is also a massive pervert who has a voyeur fetish and loves to watch her loved one, her daughter, have sex with someone else.'

"Actually…" I looked at Vivian seriously. "I have dominated Eliza, Madam. Not only her but Emilia too. I have sex with another girl every day, and I even have sex with 20 nuns before I return home earlier."

At my words, Vivian only looked at me with a vivid gaze while fidgeting. She had no real reaction, but her hand became warmer. Using my Appraisal, I noticed a status beside her name.

--

Name: Vivian Claydall (Aroused)

--

In her mind, she must've imagined what I did. This… she truly had no way back. The flower of society had been turned into a massive pervert because she spied on me, having various kinds of sex with my girls.

Guilt wasn't what appeared inside me. But instead, I felt satisfaction that I could make a widow fall for me without me making a move on her directly.

"That's my confession, Madam Vivian. I am not what you think I am. However, I love all my lovers equally. I love Eliza, and I also love you."

"Ah…" A voice escaped Vivian's lips as I suddenly kissed her.

Vivian refused to know what kind of person she truly was after realizing it.

She didn't want to accept her dirty self, thinking that being lustful was a grave sin. Normally, that would be the case. But she must've heard the voice telling her that she got no Sins even after masturbating. That should reassure her a little, but…

'She still feels guilty to me, the one she thought of as her own son, and to her daughter, Eliza.'

That guilt was the one that made her want to confess her sin to the church. And her little wish was probably to live in another place so she wouldn't indulge herself like this anymore.

'But I won't allow that. I will make her feel accepted the way she truly is.'

I pulled away after a light peck and looked at Vivian's shocked gaze. Her hand covered her mouth as her eyes widened.

"Why…" She asked in a low voice. "Why did you kiss me?"

"I want you to accept yourself," I replied, looking at her. "Everyone has flaws, including me. And that lust… that excessive love you feel is part of you, Madam. That's no sin. It will only be Sins if the Goddess said so. Did you hear that you get Sins from the Goddess?"

"N-No." Vivian shook her head. "I heard that I got no Sins just now."

"Then you are no Sinner." I smiled softly at her and sat down on my chair, sipping the tea. "You are just yourself, Madam. If you are still worried, why don't we talk with Eliza later? That's your punishment for peeping on me." I continued.

'Eliza should be able to accept her mother's fetish. After all, she is also similar to her.'

"Am I allowed to?" Vivian's voice was still weak and unsure. "What if Eliza hates me? I am such a failure of a mother…"

"Don't worry, Madam Vivian. I will be there with you."

"Arthur..." She looked at me and wiped her tears, smiling softly. "You're such a kind boy. I am truly sorry for what I did. I… I won't do it again."

'No, Vivian. I know you will spy on me again. At that time, you won't be able to hold back any longer and choose to join.' I thought, guessing what she would do in the future.

But I didn't say that loudly. Instead, I smiled softly at her.

"I forgive you, Madam. And I hope you can accept yourself." I said, "Tell me if you need help with anything. I will do my best to help, no matter what it is."

What I implied was, 'Even if you want to have sex, I will help you. I love you and already showed it with my kiss earlier.'

It seemed like she also noticed that. Her cheek was dyed red as she nodded slightly.

"Thank you. Please help me talk with my beloved daughter when she arrives." She smiled, "As for that matter... I will decide after I talk with Eliza. I don't want to hurt her anymore, so I will stop if she don't allow me to."

"Of course." I nodded. "I guess her training needs to be paused for today. It's better if both of you spend your time together."

I continued talking with Vivian, reassuring her and ensuring she didn't feel guilty anymore. I was frank and open when she asked me, answering her as much as I could. As a result, Vivian knew that I dominated Eliza and the other five girls.

Thankfully, she didn't mind. Because she understood her own perverted self, she just reminded me to be kind and love them equally. I promised her that I would do that and treat them equally, except for Beatrice.

Her guilt lessened considerably, and she smiled like a flower as if the burden on her shoulders were lifted. It wouldn't be over until she told her daughter about what she secretly did, so she still appeared a little bit nervous.

Before long, Eliza arrived, and the gate was opened automatically. She looked around before her gaze landed on us, and I waved my hand toward her. A realization dawned on her face as she smiled and approached us.

Vivian's nervousness began to show again as my childhood friend walked closer. She kept glancing back and forth between Eliza and me.

"Arthur! So you're drinking tea with Mama. I thought you were waiting for me like usual for uh… our training."

As Eliza sat down and spoke to me, Vivian put up a smile, trying her best to look normal. However, my childhood friend noticed her mother's strangeness.

"Mama, is something wrong?" She asked worriedly, still ignorant about what her mother did.

"Eliza… I…"

Vivian opened her mouth and gathered her courage by inhaling deeply. Worry was still clear in her eyes, but she had another kind of determination from what I told her earlier.

"I have something to tell you."

Eliza's mother then confessed what she had told me earlier clearly, including the guilt she felt when she did it for the first time and the lust she had for me without hiding anything from her daughter.

She spoke in a clear tone, showing her worry and guilt clearly while Eliza listened seriously. After Vivian was done, she exhaled and waited for her daughter's reply.

Eliza looked at me for a second and narrowed her eyes, "Did you know this?" She whispered.

"Madam Vivian told me earlier," I replied in a low voice with a nod. That satisfied Eliza as she stood up.

Her expression was still serious as she walked slowly toward Vivian. Was she angry? I couldn't judge it from her expression, and neither was Vivian, as she kept her gaze low.

"Mama." Eliza's voice rang. It was not cold or contained anger.

The fact that she called Vivian Mama meant she wasn't that angry.

Vivian raised her head, looking at her dear daughter. Having the same thought as me, tears welled up in the corner of her eyes. "Yes…"

She didn't do anything wrong directly, but due to her upbringing in the Virtue Kingdom, she still felt immensely guilty for spying on her daughter's activity.

Reaching out with her hands, Eliza circled them around Vivian's neck and hugged her. Madam's eyes widened in surprise, looking up at her daughter's gentle expression.

"I am not angry, Mama," Eliza spoke softly, trying to calm her mother down and show that she wasn't angry.

"It's not your fault, but mine. I am sorry for hiding something from you. I… Actually, I asked Arthur to dominate me. I am also aware of his other lovers and love to watch him have s-sex with other girls.

"So you're not at fault, Mama. It's my fault for being a bad daughter."

"No, Eliza. It's my fault. Your Mama is a pervert!"

"No, Mama. It's me who's a pervert! I-If you did spy on us, you definitely know the reason!"

"Getting spanked and getting tied up is normal. That's to make you feel good, no? And you did it with your boyfriend, so it's not a pervert at all!"

Listening to them was like listening to a comedy. The seriousness in the atmosphere was gone as they kept blaming themselves.

'I feel awkward sitting here.' I thought as I quietly sipped my tea.

I was glad that Eliza forgave her mother. Looking at Eliza's personality, I knew she would do this, but I couldn't help but worry.

As I said, I planned to make Vivian join us when Eliza was still in a daze from arousal. That way, it decreased the chance of them to hate each other.

'Pervert Eliza is wild, after all.'

Furthermore, Vivian wouldn't need to feel this guilty. I made a mistake when considering her feelings, but I was still glad everything was okay.

'Both of them are really similar.'

"Thank you, my daughter," Vivian wiped her tears and smiled. "Thank you for forgiving this bad mother. I will change myself and become a better model for you."

Eliza smiled and nodded at her mother. They hugged tightly for once before she pulled away from Vivian.

"Hey, Mama. You also spied on Arthur when she did it with the others, too, right?" Eliza pulled her chair and sat near her mother, asking a question that made Madam Vivian blush slightly.

"I-I did." Her mother answered honestly, embarrassed.

"That means you're not spying on me but Arthur," Eliza confirmed, narrowing her eyes slightly. "Could it be you like Arthur, Mama? Really?"

Vivian didn't answer this time. She looked at me with widened eyes full of realization. Her jaw dropped slightly, and her cheek reddened.

Eliza still narrowed her eyes in suspicion as she looked over at her mother. Then the corner of her lips curled up slightly.

Somehow, I could see where this was going. It happened once with Emilia, but the situation was reversed now.

'I have turned her into a real pervert…' I thought. 'No, it's because she's surrounded by a pervert teacher, pervert nun, and my masochist sister that Eliza turns more honest. It's good and all, but… Really?'

"Mama, do you know that I love you so much? I was never able to express it before I realized there was no need for me to hide my honest feelings. So I want Mama to be honest too, as I have changed a bit from before and can be honest with myself.

"So, Mama. Do you like Arthur? I won't be angry. He has more girls than I can count. As long as he also loves me, I don't mind sharing Arthur with others. And if d-doing it with him can make you happy, then please be honest, Mama. Or I will be angry for real."

The way she did things was different from Emilia, but the content was the same. In short, she wanted Vivian to be honest that she wanted to have sex with me. I believe Vivian also mentioned earlier in her explanation that she couldn't help but masturbate while imagining doing it with me.

'Eliza isn't wrong, but isn't that too direct, girl? She's your mother! And you want her to sleep with me!'

Still, Vivian was lost for words. But Eliza pushed forward.

"Because you already saw me doing it with Arthur, isn't it just fair if I watch you do it with Arthur, Mama?" Eliza asked her last question as she beamed into a smile. "I'll fully forgive you only if that happens. I want Mama to be happy too."

Vivian's face turned deep red from her daughter's words, but she couldn't refute it. Because what her daughter said made sense. Or not.

'Eliza is angry, after all.' I observed my childhood friend's expression.

ƥαṇdαs ηθνε The Mama girl was angry and happy at her mother, so she wanted a little bit of revenge. And the revenge was to see her mother being fucked by her boyfriend… Really?

'I know Vivian began to like me as a man, but isn't that a bit too much, Eliza?'

Even I was surprised by what my childhood friend said. Did Emilia tell her something she shouldn't know? This… If Vivian said no right now, she wouldn't have the courage to meet me later.

'I need to stop it.'

"Eli–"

"Alright. Arthur, please have sex with this unworthy mother." Vivian said as she looked at me with a passionate gaze filled with desire.

"Are you sure, Madam… No, Vivian?"

"Yes. I always dream of this, and my daughter tells me to be honest. So I request you once again. Please have sex with me. This is my little wish."

"… Alright." I nodded at her and put the cup down. "I just hope you won't do this because Eliza forces you."

"No. Like what she said, I also like you as a man, not my surrogate son. So… This is my own wish."

The fact that the last requirement to dominate her was to let her feel the pleasure of sex meant she had no idea what real sex was.

Maybe that was what drove her to be curious to spy on us. Then looking at the other girl's pleasured face when they had sex with me, she felt strange and wanted to satisfy her own desire, but it only got stronger until this point.

Then she turned to Eliza and smiled, "Thank you for giving me a push and allowing me to be honest with my feelings, Eliza. You're the best daughter I could ever wish for."

"No problem, Mama. I need to remind you to be careful, though. As… that will surprise you for the first time." Eliza smiled strangely as she fidgeted, holding the hem of her skirt as she glanced at me. "Arthur is really wild in bed."

"I don't understand, but… Doesn't sex feel all the same? Masturbating feels the same too, but I somehow want more and can't stop doing it. That's why I am confused why you, Cecil, Miss Rania, and even the nun Garcia moaned loudly as if it is really the best thing in the world."

"You will know when you feel it." My childhood friend grinned as if she was already an expert on it. She turned to me and nodded, "Please teach Mama about that, Arthur. I will be there to watch, so… If I ask you that I want it, just ignore me and focus on Mama."

"If that's your wish, then I will do so." I nodded at Eliza, then turned to Vivian. "Let's head inside, then?"

"Yes." The widow nodded and smiled, looking like she was expecting something. "Please don't hold back. Treat me like your other girls and make me normal again."

'Make her normal again, huh? Madam, I can't promise that. You might turn into a bigger pervert like your daughter around me after we are done.'

'Though I hope she won't change at all in public.' I thought as I stood up and walked toward the mansion with Eliza beside me and Vivian beside her.

'I will have sex with Eliza's mother while being watched by her after this. Somehow… it feels immoral and excites me more than having sex with Rania.'

A combination of mother and daughter who have a voyeur fetish. Their appearance was a perfect mirror of each other too. They were also gentle and loved me, though I never expected Vivian to love me this much.

'I will have to apologize to Emilia later. Her portion might only be left a little. I am not confident to stop until Vivian breaks and unable to forget the sensation of my cock inside her pussy. I have been waiting for this day since I made her divorce Baron Rose.'

Entering my empty mansion, we went directly to my room. Vivian still followed Eliza's side, her face blushing deeply. She couldn't help but anticipate it.

I sat on the bed, looking at the pair of mother and daughter who seemed to be a little bit too excited to do something that shouldn't be done. They stood side by side, fidgeting slightly.

Patting the bed beside me, I looked at Vivian with a smile and said, "Sit here."

Then I turned to Eliza, "You are just going to watch, right?"

"Yes." Eliza nodded as she smiled brightly, with lust burning in her eyes. "I will watch. It's only fair if I do that." She continued.

As for Vivian, she went to my side obediently. Her smile turned gentle, and she sat while holding the edge of her dress, pulling it up slightly to show off her thighs as if trying to seduce me.

I looked at her strangely, and she said.

"This is what should be done before sex, no? It will make you excited."

'That's not it, Vivian.'

She looked clueless that Eliza tried to hold her laugh.

Because she always spied on us after we did our foreplay, it seemed like Vivian didn't know the right way to start. Was her sexual life so boring that she just did something even Eliza knew to seduce me?

"For now, just follow my lead, alright?" I leaned forward and kissed Vivian softly. Then I slowly pushed down her clothes until I reached her underwear which was already wet from excitement. I pulled it aside gently, exposing her pussy lips. The moment my finger touched her slit, she let out an embarrassed moan.

But instead of stopping there, I took another step forward and spread her legs wide apart. Looking between her thighs, I saw her soft white pubic hairs glistening under the light.

"Don't look." She whispered to me. But I ignored her and kissed her deeply while my hand was busy exploring her private area.

When my finger touched her clit, she let out a surprised gasp and then moaned against my lips. I gently rubbed her clit while my finger was also circled around her pussy. It was already wet from her excitement, so I easily slid into her. She cried out in pleasure, which was quickly silenced by my tongue.

Vivian's body was already hot from her arousal. She was excited when her own daughter watched her.

ƥαṇdαs ηθνε Pulling away, Vivian panting heavily. She was about to say something but was interrupted by my kiss. I sucked her tongue in my mouth. As our tongues entwined, I felt the taste of her saliva spreading all over my mouth.

On the side, I also heard a pleasured moan, followed by Eliza's soft voice, "Ah... Mama looks so lewd!"

Vivian blushed from embarrassment as I turned my gaze to Eliza, who was biting her lip, trying to suppress her excitement. She had her hand under her underwear, touching herself, and her other hand was pulling up her shirt.

Then I pulled away and said to Vivian, "Is it good?"

"It's very good." She whispered sultrily, "Please do it more..."

Eliza laughed and said, "You are so bold, Mama. I can't believe you can be like this."

Vivian's face blushed from embarrassment, and she lowered her head.

Then she leaned in for another kiss. This time, I went down to her neck, sucking it and nibbling, and I slowly worked my way down. My finger exited her slit and went toward her breasts, caressing them lovingly and pinching her nipple. My tongue traced her neck down to her chest, stopping in front of her bosom.

Vivian had large breasts, bigger than Eliza's. And she wasn't wearing a bra, so it was easier for me to get access to her breast.

"Hnn! T-That's sensitive!"

She said that, but she still pushed out her breast toward me.

I pushed her down to the bed and started to suck her nipples. I took turns with the two big mounds of her breasts, sucking them and rolling them around with my tongue. My cock harbored a growing bulge in my pants as I played with Vivian's large boobs.

As I played with her breast, my hand started to wander down. I slid down her belly and found her crotch again.

This time, I pushed two fingers into her.

Vivian screamed in pleasure, arching her back.

I could tell that she was already excited from the foreplay.

"Vivian, are you ready for insertion?" I asked in a gentle voice.

"Yes! Please do it!" She cried out, her body trembling slightly. "But I have a request."

"What is it?"

"Can you call me Mommy? I like it when you call me Mommy..."

I could feel my cock twitch.

She continued, "It makes me feel so... so..."

She couldn't find the words, but Eliza understood what she meant, "So what, Mama?"

"So dirty... And I feel so... so excited." Vivian finally said.

I smiled gently. "Alright, I will call you Mommy, then."

"Yes... thank you..." Vivian replied shyly, her face blushing.

Then I pushed her down, kissing her deeply while my hands were busy working on her body. I grabbed her butt cheeks and lifted her legs, spreading them wide apart, and moved down toward her pussy.

Eliza also moved to the bed, observing us closely. She had already undressed, and her hand was busy playing with her nipple and pussy.

I spread open Vivian's pussy lips and saw her pussy dripping with her nectar. Then I bent down and started to lick her.

"Nngh! Arthur!" Vivian cried out as I explored her inner thighs and vagina with my tongue. Her body trembled in pleasure.

"Mama, you are so wet down there," Eliza said, licking her fingers that were coated in her love juices. "It's so perverted. So lewd…"

"I-It's not! It's not that bad, right, Arthur?" Vivian pleaded.

I chuckled and raised my head slightly, "You're a big pervert, Mommy."

Even if it was her request, it was a bit strange to call her that. But at the same time, it gave me this immoral feeling that made me excited.

Vivian's face blushed from embarrassment.

Then I continued to lick her, enjoying her delicious nectar.

"Ahn~ N-No. I will cum! Please, stop... nngh..."

She moaned and begged me to stop, but I ignored her.

My tongue continued to lick her slit, going up and down and circling around her clitoris.

"Arthur, please... I... I will cum!"

I didn't stop. I kept going on, licking her slit and her clitoris.

"Ah! Ah! I am going to..."

Vivian screamed loudly, her legs locking my neck, trapping me.

She finally came. Her legs trembled, and she was trying to hold the air while I licked her. She squirted her love nectar on my face. I quickly pulled back and watched her first squirt.

"Aaah... Ahh! It's so good... So good!"

The pleasure overwhelmed her. She cried out and screamed loudly, her back arched upward. Her body was covered in sweat, and shook in orgasm as she moaned in pleasure.

"Aahn! I am cumming too!!" Eliza also had an orgasm on my side, squirting onto the bed as her body shook from the pleasure. Her eyes rolled back as she stuck her tongue out, her saliva dripping down to her body.

As Vivian recovered from her orgasm, she asked me.

"Haa... Arthur... haa... I want your cock. Please put it in me."

I nodded and pulled down my pants, showing off my raging erection. I grabbed it with my hand and slowly pumped it up and down as I positioned it between her crotch, showing how big it was.

I got on top of her and rubbed it on her slit, giving Vivian a preview of what she was going to experience soon.

She breathed in, her body still hot from the orgasm. Then she spread her legs and said, "I am ready... put it in..."

"What's wrong, Mama?" Eliza asked. "Are you scared? I have seen him doing it to me before. It is not that scary."

"Ah... I know..." Vivian's face blushed from embarrassment.

Then I slowly pushed forward, entering her slowly.

"Ah!" Vivian let out a sudden moan.

She was so tight and warm. It felt like my cock was being sucked into her body.

"It's so big... Ah! It's so good... It feels so good..." Vivian moaned and said as she hugged me tightly, pushing me forward. "Hnn! Oh, Goddess! I feel like I'm going to cum! Cumming!"

Once again, Vivian orgasmed, and her vagina squeezed my cock tightly.

"Nngh... So tight!" I grunted as I tried to hold myself back from cumming. For a widow, she had the tightest pussy I ever felt.

Then I finally thrust into her fully, all the way to the bottom, filling her up.

Vivian screamed, her body shivering. She tried to hold the air again as I pushed all the way in. Her hands held the bedsheet tightly.

"Ahh! Arthur is having sex with my Mama! So hot! So sexy! Ahh!"

Eliza was still masturbating, enjoying the show.

"Ah! Ah! I can't take it! It's too much!" Vivian screamed in pleasure as I started to move back and forth. I was pushing deeper and deeper each time, and I could feel her vagina becoming wetter and wetter as I fucked her.

Mommy's breasts jiggled as I thrust into her. Her large bosom bounced up and down as I pounded into her, thrusting quickly, hitting her deep inside.

"Ah! Ah! I'm cumming again! Ahn! Nngh!"

Vivian cried out, and I could feel her vagina squeezing my cock tightly. It was almost painful.

"I'm cumming too! I will fill your womb, Mommy!" I said in a soft voice.

Then I held her hands and started to fuck her faster and harder.

Vivian's body was covered in sweat, and she was breathing heavily, trying to hold the air as I thrust into her. Her moans mixed with Eliza's. My childhood friend raised her body and spread her legs, showing off her fingers entering her pussy. She was fingering herself as she watched us.

I looked at my childhood friend masturbating. I loved that kind of girl—the horny and shameless one who was easy to get aroused. And I also loved her mother, Vivian. The perverted mother.

"I'm cumming!" Vivian's vagina squeezed my cock tightly. I couldn't hold it any longer. I groaned loudly and let my orgasm hit me. I shot my cum deep into Vivian's womb.

[Ding! You came inside Vivian Claydall's pussy! Your Sins increased by 5!]

"Aaah! So good... I can feel it deep inside me..." Vivian said with a sultry voice as she closed her eyes in pleasure. The wave of her orgasm made her vagina squeeze my cock tightly. I could feel my cock being sucked and milked by her vagina.

I couldn't hold back and spurt my seed into her.

"Cumming!!" Vivian screamed as she came. She arched her back upward as her legs locked my waist; her body shivered as the pleasure overwhelmed her.

I continued to thrust into her as my cock erupted over and over again, pumping my sperm deep into her womb.

Finally, the orgasm subsided, and she collapsed on the bed with a sexy face. She was still breathing heavily.

I pulled out my cock and watched my semen dripping out from her pussy lips.

"So good..." Vivian muttered as she looked in a daze, unable to perceive her surroundings. She was weak, and her body still shuddered from pleasure, squirting love juices mixed with my semen from her slit.

A notification that I completed the requirement came to my ear. It seemed like she understood how good real sex was.

[Ding! The requirement to dominate Vivian Claydall has been completed.]

[You can dominate her right now!]

[Dominate Vivian Claydall? Yes/No]

I grinned, but I closed the window first. It could be done later.

Eliza also came and squirted onto the bed as she moaned. Her body trembled as she fell backward onto the bed, exhausted. But she was still masturbating.

"You have milked it all out, Mommy," I said to Vivian. "You should rest now. It should be better to sleep after a good orgasm."

"N-No... I can do it... Just a little bit... Then I will be ready to do it again..." Vivian replied in a daze, her voice a little bit slurred. She was still on the verge of passing out.

"Arthur..." On her side, her daughter also called for me, "If Mama can't do it, can you do me?"

I smiled, "You're just here to watch, remember? You can't have sex."

Eliza pouted and said, "But I want it... I... I was really aroused when watching you and Mama have sex! I also want to have sex with you..."

I smiled, "I see. It's not fair if you are the only one, right?"

"Yes! You do understand!"

"But no." I grinned at Eliza as my cock was still fully erect, throbbing in excitement. "I will fuck your mom again. This time, you are only here to watch."

Saying so, I leaned closer to Vivian and kissed her deeply.

"No way..." Eliza muttered in defeat. "Hnn... I-It's not fair... Ahn! B-But I can't stop masturbating! I-It's so good!"

"Ahn!" Vivian moaned into my mouth. Her tongue entwined with mine while my hand was busy playing with her breast.

She was still sensitive from her orgasm. She cried out in pleasure as I rubbed her nipple and sucked her tongue in my mouth. "Hnn! Ahn... Arthur..."

Then I moved down, sucking her neck and shoulder as I played with her breast.

She let out a small moan, "Nngh..."

As I reached her chest, I took her nipple in my mouth and started to suck on it. Then when she was still sensitive, I started to bite it and twist it slightly with my tongue.

"Ah! Arthur! Nngh!"

She started to squirm from the pleasure and tried to push me away. I ignored her and continued to suck her nipple.

Then I moved down toward her stomach, biting it slightly as I caressed her body with my hands.

"Hnn! H-Hey... S-Stop it! I am... I am about to cum!" Vivian protested, but I ignored her.

Then I finally reached her crotch. I spread her legs wide open and looked between her thighs.

My cock was throbbing in excitement, eager to feel her tightness again.

"Turn around, Mommy. Let me fuck you from behind." I said.

"B-But... I'm still..." Vivian couldn't finish her sentence as she was pushed down onto the bed; her face was buried in the pillow.

I got on top of her and pushed my cock into her slit from behind.

"Aahhh!! I-It's entering!" A scream of pleasure escaped her mouth.

Her round and big ass jiggled as my cock thrust into her.

"Ah! Arthur! It's so good! So good!" Vivian cried out in pleasure. Her large breasts were pressed against the pillow, and she was trembling as my cock hit her deepest point.

Her vagina was still wet and loose, and my cock easily went all the way in.

"Mama is being fucked from behind! Ah! So dirty!" Eliza exclaimed. "Haa... so hot... so sexy..."

Turning around to imitate her mother's position, she was masturbating vigorously while watching us. Her pussy was leaking love juice onto the bed.

Vivian's large breasts were bouncing up and down as my cock thrust into her. I grabbed her ass and squeezed it, enjoying her soft and plump ass. Then I spanked it.

"Ah!" Vivian moaned as her body shivered in pleasure. I spanked it again and again, enjoying the sight of her large ass jiggling as I fucked her.

Then I pulled out my cock, grabbed her hips, and thrust back in, hitting her deep inside.

"Nngh! It's so good! Arthur! Arthur!" Vivian cried out and moaned as she pushed back into me, trying to make me thrust deeper into her.

She was still sensitive from her orgasm, and I could feel her vagina tightening as I fucked her.

At some point, she began to move her hips back and forth, fucking me as I thrust into her. I grabbed her ass and spanked it again, and she cried out in pleasure.

"Ah! Ah! I can't take it!" She moaned in ecstasy as I fucked her roughly, thrusting into her deeply. I couldn't hold back any longer and let myself explode inside her.

"Hnn! Arthur!" Vivian screamed loudly as her orgasm hit her. Her vagina squeezed my cock tightly as it squirted her love nectar onto my cock.

Then I shot my seed deep into her womb. My cock erupted again and again, filling her womb with my semen.

When I finished cumming, she collapsed onto the bed, panting heavily. I fell beside her.

Eliza also fell onto the bed, exhausted.

I watched Vivian as she lay on her back, her large breasts jiggling up and down, covered in sweat. She had a satisfied smile as her hand held Eliza's.

"E-Eliza... Mama was fucked by your boyfriend... Ah!" She said, "It feels so good..."

Eliza smiled and said, "You look so happy, Mama... I... I am so happy that you can be like this..."

"I can't believe I did it... Ah..." Vivian sighed.

Eliza's eyes looked at my cock. It was still erect, and I could see her salivating as she looked at it.

"Arthur..." She said, "C-Can I?"

I turned my gaze to her. "You want it?"

Eliza nodded, her face blushed deeply.

"It can't be helped." I faked a sigh and looked at Eliza, who lay on her back beside Vivian. "Get on top of Vivian. Let me fuck you both together. And then I will fill your womb with my semen."

"Y-Yes!" Eliza quickly sat up. She climbed on top of Vivian, facing me. Then she got on all four and pushed her ass in front of me.

"E-Eliza?!" Vivian quickly sat up in surprise.

But she couldn't. She was pushed down by her daughter, who had a hungry look on her face.

"Mama, stay still! It's my turn now! Your turn will come after Arthur cum inside me! A-And... You can watch me getting fucked right in front of you! So exciting, right?"

She raised her hips, showing off her pussy, which was also still wet from her orgasm. She was dripping with love juices.

"E-Eliza!" Vivian looked at her daughter in disbelief, then at me. "I-I don't know..."

"It's not that bad, right? You said it before... That you love watching me fucking Eliza, your daughter." I smirked, positioning myself behind Eliza.

She was so ready to be fucked. She was panting heavily, waiting for me to penetrate her. Her pussy lips were already dripping with her love juices.

"A-Alright..." Vivian whispered, her face blushing red. "But do me later, I... I like it when your cock is inside me."

"No problem." I leaned over and kissed her gently.

"Ah... Arthur..." Eliza muttered in excitement, pushing her ass toward me. "Hurry... I am so aroused watching you and Mama..."

"Okay, okay." I laughed and pushed my cock into Eliza's slit.

Two pussies, belonging to mother and daughter were in front of me. They were piled on top of each other and waiting for me to fuck them. They held hands, trying to comfort each other as my cock went in and out of them.

"Aah! It's so big!" Eliza moaned. "Nngh! Mama... Watch me! Look how dirty I am..."

Vivian didn't say anything. Her face was blushed red, and she couldn't take her eyes off her daughter's pussy being fucked by my cock.

I fucked Eliza faster, enjoying her squirming body.

"Nngh! Arthur! Aah! I am... I am cumming!"

Eliza screamed loudly, her body trembling from the pleasure.

She arched her back as she orgasmed, and she squirted her love juices onto my cock and Vivian's belly.

"So good! Aah! Aah! So good!" Eliza cried out; her body was still shivering.

My cock was also close to cumming. I quickly pulled out and shot my semen onto her ass cheeks, coating her butt with my seed.

Then I proceeded to fuck Vivian after as Eliza fell on top of Vivian, pinning her down. I also played with Eliza's ass, spanking her and inserting my fingers into her pussy.

"Hnn! Nngh! It's so good!" Vivian moaned, and her body squirmed.

"Mama... You look so lewd. Look at me..." Eliza said as she grabbed Vivian's hand.

"Ah! Ah! Eliza... I am close to... Cumming..." Vivian moaned.

"Me too..." Eliza said, "Cumming... Ah! Ah! It's so good!"

The room was filled with moans from both daughter and mother, as well as the sound of our sex.

I fucked Vivian until she came, and Eliza came again on top of her mother. Then I came in between them, covering their bodies with my semen. We continued to fuck each other until they finally passed out from exhaustion.

And when we finished, I watched both daughter and mother lay side by side with satisfied smiles on their faces while their whole bodies were covered in my cum. They were sleeping peacefully or rather fainted from excessive pleasure as their fetishes were satisfied.

My door was knocked at that moment, and a familiar voice rang from the outside.

"Arthur, are you there?"

It belonged to Emilia. I didn't need to hide anything from her, so I replied.

"I am. Enter, Emilia."

The door was pushed open from inside, and Emilia, who only wore a tight leotard clinging to her body, entered. She was holding a tube filled with slimy pink liquid in her hands.

And when she entered, her nose twitched slightly, and her gaze went to the bed. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she asked, "Did you just…"

"With Vivian and Eliza? Yes." I grinned widely. I bet I looked like an evil man right now. "But I can still keep going. If you don't mind, jump in bed, and let's do it. They are still fainting from pleasure, so they won't be able to hear us."

Emilia smiled as she poured the slimy liquid all over her body. Her face flushed in arousal, and she walked toward me, circling her arms around my neck, and sat on me while pulling the fabric covering her pussy to the side.

"You know I don't mind doing it anywhere and anytime." The perverted teacher whispered sultrily. "As long as I can have your cock, I don't mind exposing myself."

"You're really a big pervert." I chuckled and kissed her. "Let's do it until morning. I don't think they will wake up until then."

"Your wish is my command, Master. Please fill me to the brim."

"Alright. Spread your legs, dirty slut. I will reward you for your hard work."

Vivian and Eliza woke up when I was still having sex with Emilia. Both were surprised by the appearance of the new girl, but Eliza recovered fast and joined again. Vivian only watched shyly this time, not wanting to join because she was too tired and it was impossible to continue in her condition.

Also, she said she didn't want to make Linda and Jane suspicious, so after I used Purification, she got dressed in her erotic white dress again and left the room. That, however, ended up with her using Clairvoyance to peek at us from her own room.

'What a bad excuse. But that's okay. She will ask again in the future. At that time, I will also ask her whether she wants to be dominated.

In the end, I had fun with Eliza and Emilia until 7 AM. My childhood friend also tried the lotion, and apparently, she didn't like it too much because it made her a bit strange and tingly.

After we were done, Emilia also mentioned feeling something similar, so I used Cure and Purification just in case. They said the sensation was gone, and I felt relieved.

Garcia and Cecil didn't feel anything strange at all when we did it that night. So what made them different? I could only think of one thing.

'Cecil is a Beastkin, and Garcia is half-Succubus. Does the lotion have a different effect on Humans?'

Unfortunately, I couldn't use Appraisal on it. I tried it before, and it only showed up as [Aphrodisiac Lotion] with almost no description besides 'It makes one feel aroused and increases a woman's sensitivity.'

If only that item maniac were here, he would immediately recognize this lotion's ingredients and hidden effect. What I could do, however, was to wait for Alesia and the shadow squad's investigation to find the source or maybe the ingredient.

I needed to wait until either Alesia or Ertha contacted me through the [Earring of Communication] to know the news.

After resting for a while, Eliza got dressed in the Royal Academy uniform and departed with Emilia, who changed into a white shirt, mini black skirt, and suit. It was completed with black thigh highs that were strapped to her garter belt.

The perverted teacher gave me a kiss and thanked me before running out of the mansion. Much to my childhood friend's delight, she also promised to train Eliza after school. The preparation for the tournament had ended, and so she was free. We just needed to wait until the day it started.

"Now then, what should I do?"

According to what I heard, Vivian was sleeping in her room now after she deactivated her Clairvoyance. Linda and Jane were also walking around the corridor, cleaning the mansion. Garcia and Lara were in the backyard and garden, respectively.

Beatrice hadn't reported anything yet. I suspected the task was more difficult than she had thought because the Grand Marshal was always around the Royal Family, especially King Cassius, and that made the time to influence the Queen lessened because she needed to do it stealthily.

'I hope it can be finished before the final, which will be held in 5 days, 2 days after the preliminary ends. I also hope the Queen will also tag along with King Cassius to the Academy City so I can achieve the desired effect.'

Then Mia should still be in the Border City now, training to control herself under Lucy. Milea was the only nun in this mansion, and I couldn't bring myself to play with her because she was still half-punished for making light of her kidnapping.

So…

"I have nothing to do?" I muttered as I stopped in front of my mansion, looking at the beautiful garden. The flowers glittered as the sunlight shone over the water beads on top of it.

Looking at it, I smiled, "Life is so beautiful. Don't you think so, Milea?"

"Ugh…"

I turned around and saw the cheeky maid freeze in place with her arms stretched toward my lower area. Did she want to surprise me?

"That won't work, you know? Who do you think I am?"

Milea smiled wryly and pulled her arms, hiding them behind her back.

"Hehehe, of course, Sir Arthur. I just wanted to know why you stood idly before the entrance. Do you not want to have breakfast? You must be tired after such an intense duel with Madam, Miss Rose, and your teacher." She grinned playfully while leaning forward slightly, peeking at my face from below.

"I am not really hungry," I replied, putting my hand on Milea's head, ruffling her hair, and making a mess out of it.

She looked a bit uncomfortable and tried to take my hand off. Seeing that, I chuckled and pulled my hand away.

"I probably will visit some restaurants in the market area. Do you want to accompany me?"

"Huh?" Milea raised her voice slightly as she tidied her hair. "Why so suddenly?" She asked.

"So you can learn their dishes." I grinned. "And maybe play something? If you aren't interested, maybe I will just go with Sandra. That dark elf surely loves to eat food and accompany me. Knowing her, she would even probably wear anything I told her as long as she can enjoy some food."

"Uwaa… you're so evil, Sir Arthur."

Milea's mouth opened wide in surprise as she looked at me with narrowed eyes. Then she grinned and puffed her slightly bulging chest with her hands on her hips.

"Cough, I don't mind accompanying you, though. As you can see, I am such a good servant. Of course, feel free to put anything on or inside me. I will take it all!" She exclaimed smugly.

"And, what's your real goal?" I asked the cheeky nun while looking at her.

"I have no real goal, you know?" She answered, looking up at me. "It's just… Seeing you being alone without any goal like this is new, so I want to poke fun at you! Be grateful that I am willing to accompany you, Sir Arthur. It's not every day to be accompanied by such a cute nun!"

I shrugged my shoulders, "Whatever you say. But will you be willing to wear this?"

Rummaging my inventory, I took out a black cat tail with five small anal beads and a cat ear decoration for hair.

Milea looked at what I held in my hands with a blank gaze, "Seriously?"

"Yes." I nodded, stretching the items to her. "So?"

"Haa…" Milea sighed and took the item. She brought the cat tail into her small mouth, licking the beads to lube it with her saliva. "It can't be helped. You're a pervert, after all."

While licking the beads, she pulled up her skirt, showing off her soft butt, which wasn't covered in any panties. Yes, she was pantyless. Then she spread her own ass, understanding the assignment, and entered the anal bead inside.

"Hnn~ I-It's a bit big but manageable."

Slowly, they disappeared into her ass one by one before everything disappeared into it. Moving her butt slightly, the cat tail followed her movement.

"Oh?" Milea looked at it and smiled, her face turning red. "It's interesting."

"Do you like it?" I asked with a grin, "There is still a vibrating feature, but let's save it for later."

"Sir Arthur, do you want to embarrass me again?" Milea looked suspiciously at me as she wore the cat ears on her head.

I didn't say anything and only smiled, letting her arrive at her conclusion.

"Fine then, it's my duty as your servant to follow your command."

"You're a good girl."

"I know that. You don't need to tell me." Milea replied smugly. "Let's go then. Where should we go?"

"Evernight Restaurant," I answered as I began to walk. The cheeky nun followed right beside me. "We will try every dish in that place."

"Really?! Isn't that place like… Expensive? I mean, I am happy that you took me there, but… The money that the church provides us monthly can only afford a few dishes in that place!" Milea exclaimed in a loud voice.

I guessed that was more surprising to her than me asking her to use a tail plug before going out. However…

"Don't worry," I reassured her with a grin. "I am rich."

The cheeky nun's jaw dropped at my answer, and she couldn't say anything.

"Now you just showed off." She snorted and turned to look at the street. The cat tail that was connected to her ass moved as her hips swayed left and right. It raised her skirt slightly but wasn't at the point it showed her bare ass.

At first, I planned to have breakfast in the market area and walk around to embarrass Milea slightly, but I changed my mind.

'To think that such a coincidence could happen.'

I looked at my radar and noticed a yellow dot that I marked a few days ago when I went on a date with Eliza. It was together with another yellow dot that I couldn't recognize. But that wasn't a problem. The other one with the name 'Blacktomb' was more important.

'Let's give him a little visit while pretending to have breakfast. Bringing Milea, the cheeky nun, will significantly lower his guard, especially when the girl is wearing a tail plug. He will probably think I am open-minded and fit the Sin Kingdom perfectly despite being a Paladin.' I thought.

I hoped this girl could pretend and move according to the situation. But I didn't think I needed to worry about that. Milea was smart, especially when it was in terms of pretending and acting cheeky.

If the situation didn't allow it, I would just have breakfast as I planned earlier. I didn't need to hurry to get acquainted with Duke Blacktomb and forge a connection with him. There was also a matter of the aphrodisiac lotion, which wasn't settled yet.

'Maybe I can mention it in our conversation about me investigating it to see his movement. That will be a good clue whether he's connected to the spreading of the aphrodisiac lotion or not.'

When we arrived at the Evernight Restaurant, Milea had already gotten used to the beads inside her ass and walked while humming by my side.

"Woah, this is really luxurious. As expected from the best restaurant in Academy City. Hehehe, Sir Arthur. I really love this side of you." The cheeky nun exclaimed and grabbed my hand as she looked around the restaurant's interior.

Unlike before, the restaurant was almost empty, so we didn't need a reservation. It wasn't called Evernight for no reason. It was because the dinner in this restaurant looked beautiful with its decoration. So no one except those really rich ones had breakfast here.

'Duke Blacktomb seems to have breakfast on the fourth floor, where a luxurious table is located.'

We approached the receptionist, and luckily, there were still tables left on the fourth floor. She was the same receptionist as before, and when she saw me, she smiled widely and brought me to the fourth floor.

At first, she wanted to lead me to the fifth floor, but I refused as it would be hot because the sun was still in the sky. I didn't want Milea to get sunburned, though if she had tanlines, she would look a little bit cuter, but not now.

As I said earlier, the fourth floor was a luxurious room with only 5 tables, each divided by a wooden cubicle, creating a small room.

When we entered, I noticed Duke Blacktomb sitting on the corner with a beautiful girl with wavy black hair that reached her waist. She was wearing a neat black dress, which looked elegant. Her modest breasts were held high, exposing a bit of her cleavage.

And when I looked at her face, I noticed her red blood eyes were similar to that of Duke Blacktomb.

'Relative? Or wife?' I thought as we walked behind the receptionist. It wouldn't be strange if Duke Blacktomb had a young wife.

The empty table was actually right beside where Duke Blacktomb sat, and he noticed us walking toward him as he raised his head. His lips morphed into a smile.

"My, what a pleasant coincidence." He chirped and stood up, walking toward me. When he was in front of me, he stopped and bowed slightly. "Who is it if not Your Holiness Paladin? It's nice to meet you again."

The receptionist looked a bit baffled. From her surprised expression, she probably forgot or didn't know that Duke Blacktomb was here.

I shot a glance at her and asked her to leave for now. She nodded swiftly and left the area, leaving us.

Milea looked at the gray-haired Duke and glanced at me. She kept silent without voicing anything. Good.

"Duke Blacktomb, it's nice to meet you again," I replied in a calm voice. "Please raise your head. While I am indeed a Paladin, I don't quite like excessive formality."

"Hahaha, please forgive me then." The Duke raised his head and laughed.

This man was so mysterious and crafty. Even when he bowed earlier, it was probably just for a display. While I saw respect in his eyes, he still tried to judge me.

'An old fox.' I evaluated him as I kept my smile.

"Sir Paladin, are you here for breakfast? Why don't you join me and my daughter then? Hahaha, we are still waiting for our menu and still have two empty chairs. Of course, that's if you and Miss nun don't mind." He shot a glance at Milea for a second before turning at me with an unwavering smile.

'So she's his daughter?' I glanced at the girl, and she smiled sweetly at me.

I felt like her smile wasn't as genuine as it seemed. It was a bit similar to when Princess Carissa met me for the first time, but I didn't feel unpleasant. That meant this black-haired girl was curious and didn't really think much of me yet.

While I did remember most characters and heroines in the Virtue Kingdom, I only remembered the Princess of the Sin Kingdom and one person from the Luxuria Church.

My memories about them were already blurry, and I didn't even care about it anymore as I thought this world was real and not the Sins Paradise game. So I didn't recognize this girl, though I had a feeling that she was one of the heroines.

"I will be honored to. And she also doesn't mind about that." I gestured to Milea, and she nodded her head. Then I turned to the Duke and glanced at his daughter. "But what about the young lady? Is she okay having breakfast with my nun and me?"

At my question, the girl stood up and curtsied, holding the skirt of her dress, "Please, Your Holiness. I don't mind. Instead, it will be an honor to have breakfast with you. Fufufu, I can brag about it to my friends in the Sin Kingdom." She giggled cutely.

'What a perfect opportunity to have a talk with the Duke. I just hope he won't offer his daughter to me like King Cassius. But I shouldn't worry about that, probably. This girl does not seem to have any plan to marry his father or a yandere.'

"Very well, then." I nodded. "I will take your kind offer."

"Perfect!"

Duke Blacktomb urged us to sie down. He also sat back on his previous chair, but the girl moved to the one closer to her father to make me a bit comfortable sitting beside Milea.

I took the chair beside the Duke and let Milea sit between me and the girl. The cheeky nun first refused, saying she was just my servant. But after Duke Blacktomb assured her that he didn't mind sharing a table with her, she couldn't help but sit. However, she shot a glance at me, pointing at her butt.

'Hahaha, she just didn't want to sit because it's uncomfortable, and the beads inside her ass are poking her inside.' I laughed secretly as I realized why she had suddenly become so reserved.

Thankfully, the Duke and his daughter didn't seem to notice that the cat tail and ears Milea wore weren't real. Her real ears were hidden behind her long blonde hair and couldn't be seen, so they might think that Milea was a cat Beastkin from her appearance, as the tail also moved rather realistically.

'So Duke Blacktomb and his daughter aren't racist either. Probably because the Sin Kingdom has more diverse Races than the Virtue Kingdom, they are more open-minded, including the nobles. They don't have those stuck-up 'I am holier than you' attitudes that most nobles have.'

Or probably, it was only true for Duke Blacktomb and his family. However, I couldn't rule out the possibility that they were just acting.

We talked about some pleasantries, not to mention anything important. A waitress that was supposed to take my order arrived, and I ordered something for Milea and me.

The Duke also introduced his daughter. It seems her name was Naya, taken from an Angel name recorded in the Goddess Tera Holy Book. I praised her name and introduced mine.

She also praised my name and called me humble because I wasn't really overbearing, even though my family name was Vainglory, which meant excessive pride or glory.

"But Vainglory really fit you, Your Holiness. Because becoming a Paladin isn't something everyone can do. Even your existence itself is the embodiment of pride. It can even stop the everlasting war between two Kingdoms for a while and allow me to step into the Virtue Kingdom."

"Hahaha, thank you, Miss Naya. However, this name is to keep me from being too prideful. I want to be the embodiment of the seven Virtues and keep my pride low all the time."

Our meal arrived shortly after that, and we decided to have breakfast first before continuing our conversation. Naya's expression when she took a bite was marvelous, and the Duke also seemed to like the breakfast in this restaurant.

It didn't take us 30 minutes to finish the breakfast.

"That was wonderful." Duke Blacktomb praised. "Such an expressive meal. It's light but fulfilling, a perfect breakfast. I now understand why Madam Alesia took me to this place that night. Hahaha, now I regret not taking your offer, Sir Paladin."

Milea somehow nodded in agreement. Her lips curled into a smile as she softly said, "So we can make something like this. I see…"

Her spirit as a chef seemed to be lit from the wonderful breakfast. I also needed to admit it was delicious.

"Truly." Naya nodded in agreement. "The Virtue Kingdom has such a wonderful breakfast. We should ask our chef to make something like this, Esteemed Father."

"I will instruct him when we return." The Duke laughed merrily, wiping his mouth with a napkin on the table. Then he put it down and looked at me with a foxy smile. "Now, Sir Paladin. Do you have something to ask me? As proof of our goodwill, I will answer your question to the best of my ability."

'Here it is.' I thought.

The real conversation started.

Snapping his finger, the Duke created a barrier to isolate the sound inside this small cubicle. The barrier's color was black. He used Dark Magic to create it.

'A Mage, probably with Lv 5 Dark Magic. He's quite strong.' I looked at Duke Blacktomb with a bit of surprise written on my face. As someone in this world, having Lv 5 skills was quite remarkable.

Among people I knew, only Alesia might have magic skills higher than Lv 5. Beatrice had Lv 6 skill, but she gained it from taking other people's status and not naturally, so I wouldn't count her.

As for Tristan… She managed to get to Lv 7 as Isabelle, but that was also thanks to her experience in Horizon Online. She could get to Lv 7 because she had experienced it before, so she also didn't count as naturally.

'Looking at his mastery, he is probably also around Level 60, quite high for a human.'

Duke Blacktomb's smile deepened as he put his hands together, putting them on the table.

"I also have some questions to ask you, if possible, Sir Paladin. Of course, you don't need to answer it if you don't want to. That's also my stand, so please ask your questions first. Even if I am like this, I am quite experienced in reading a person's expression. I swear on Goddess Tera's name to answer truthfully."

The Duke laughed once more. Naya didn't say anything and maintained her smile, while Milea also maintained her expressionless state, looking at the empty plates on the table.

'Questions… What should I ask?'

I had many things I wanted to ask Duke Blacktomb, but he probably wouldn't answer most of them. No criminals would admit their wrongdoings.

"That's fine by me," I replied to Duke Blacktomb with a smile. "Well then, I will ask my first question. Did the Sin Kingdom really sign a cease-fire agreement for 100 years due to Paladin's appearance?"

"That's true." The Duke replied almost immediately with a nod. "Now is my turn. Did you become a Paladin recently, or did you keep it a secret for a long time?"

That was such a bad question, but I guessed they wanted to know whether the church nurtured me to become a Paladin or I became a Paladin due to my pure skill. Milea being with me probably was the reason why he asked such a thing. He probably thought she was by my side to observe me.

"I will swear on Goddess Teri's name that I will answer truthfully," I spoke with a calm voice as I clasped my hands together. "I became a Paladin just recently, around a month ago," I replied, gaining a nod from Duke Blacktomb.

"I see. You're quite a talented boy, then."

"I am just lucky," I added without changing my expression. "Second question, then. What happened to the assassins that attacked me the second day I became a Paladin?"

"They will be dealt with. The faction of the nobles who thought of you as dangerous, which is, unfortunately, also my subordinates, are already punished by our Queen. I will formally apologize to you for this matter after those people are punished. I truly apologize for my negligence."

Duke Blacktomb bowed his head deeply. Naya looked rather surprised, but she also bowed her head in an apologetic manner, following her father's gesture.

"Raise your head, Duke Blacktomb. I will accept your apology as long as they are punished accordingly."

"Thank you for your generosity." The Duke revealed a toothy smile. "It's my turn, Sir Paladin. What happened to the Dark Elf assassin that didn't return with the others?"

"She's living happily," I replied immediately.

"I see. Thank you."

Whatever the Duke had in mind, I didn't know. Was he happy that I forgave his subordinate? Did he think I would be mad and couldn't control myself to kill his subordinates and send their souls to the Goddess?

'Or he might even do this to assert my personality.'

Anyway, I proceeded to ask my questions, and Duke Blacktomb answered almost everything. I found out he wouldn't answer when I asked the name of the Queen that he mentioned earlier or anything related to the Royal Family of the Sin Kingdom.

And I also didn't answer anything related to my personal relationship or the inside information of the church. Unexpectedly, though, Duke Blacktomb didn't mind answering a question such as his goal of visiting this Kingdom.

Because he was swearing in the name of the Goddess, I doubted he told me a lie. But that didn't mean he told me everything. He could've only given me a portion of the real answer.

For example, his goal in visiting this Kingdom was to sign a cease-fire agreement with the Virtue Kingdom and make a friendly approach. But he omitted another goal he had and didn't tell me about it. That made him answer truthfully but not completely.

As for me…

'I can lie no matter how much I want to as I am not a real believer of the Goddess Teri or Tera. Heck, Goddess Lilith is even on my side. She won't smite me even if I lie after swearing using her fake name.'

The questions game continued after that, and we pretty much just asked about each other Kingdom's situation because our curiosity over each other was already dispelled. We understood each other's bottom line.

My questions were regarding the Races that lived in the Sin Kingdom, especially the Devil Race, which included Vampire, Succubus, Lamia, Oni, and many others. And Duke Blacktomb's questions were about delicacies and monsters in the Virtue Kingdom.I think you should take a look at

Fortunately, my cheeky nun was a chef and understood many delicacies, so she answered it for me.

I used this chance to ask what kind of border the Sin Kingdom had on the east side and slightly changed Duke Blacktomb's expression.

"A giant hole. It's just a pure sinking hole that light can't reach. No one approaches that place as it's dangerous. Our Holy City is located near that border to protect it from adventurers or other people who are curious about the World End border."

"That's just like the Virtue Kingdom," I told him, and he finally smiled again.

"Hahaha, the Goddess told us not to approach the border. Are you interested in it, Sir Paladin?"

"Slightly," I replied, shrugging my shoulders. "I was once an adventure, too, so I tend to be curious about new areas I never visited."

"I see. I was once a curious young man too." The Duke nodded. "Now is my turn, right? Can I ask whether you are interested in visiting our Kingdom?"

Hearing that, I couldn't help but smile. I was about to ask whether I could visit their Kingdom as a guest, but it seemed like I didn't need to.

"If there is a chance, I will visit the Sin Kingdom." I nodded at him.

At that moment, I noticed Milea fidgeting while keeping her head down. The chair was slightly wet, and I noticed liquid began to accumulate on it.

'This girl… She's about to cum?'

Noticing my gaze, Milea raised her head and smiled playfully as if nothing was wrong.

'Well, I already asked everything I wanted to, so it's time to return.'

I secretly used Purification and turned to the Duke.

"Duke Blacktomb, Miss Naya. It's really nice to talk with both of you, but unfortunately, my duty as a Paladin is calling. I hope we have a chance to meet again." I stood up and stretched my hand toward them.

Duke Blacktomb and Miss Naya stood up. The former shook my hand and smiled wryly.

"Oh, right. I am sorry for taking your time, Sir Paladin."

"No, it's okay. I have fun having breakfast with you and hearing such interesting things from the Sin Kingdom. May fate allow us to meet again."

"Yes." The Duke nodded and released my hand. "I will prepare a way to invite you to the Sin Kingdom when the time arrives. Unfortunately, [Earring of Communication] can't pierce through the strange barrier in the border and is a useless article to communicate between the Kingdoms."

"That's understandable." I smiled at him, urging Milea to stand up. "I will be waiting."

With that, I left the fourth floor with Milea and paid for everything at the cashier. I looked at the cheeky nun as we exited the restaurant and whispered.

"In the alleyway or home?"

ƥandasnovel·ƈom "Home, please. But… Can you carry me and arrive fast? I might cum in seconds." Milea answered as her body shivered, trying to hold back as much as she could.

"It can't be helped," I said, pulling her into an empty alleyway and carrying her in my arms. Then I jumped to the roof and jumped around toward my mansion.

The cheeky nun orgasmed once we stepped into the garden. Her love juices were squirted out from her pussy as she lifted her skirt, spraying over the beautiful flowers that Lisa and Lara tended to.

It happened with Lara watching her from the side, dropping the watering can in her hand, with a baffled expression. As for Milea, she didn't care and just released her accumulated pleasure while moaning loudly.

In the end, Lara was mad and pulled Milea's ears before asking for my permission to punish the cheeky nun with a scary smile. I allowed her to.

'Lara looks like a scary sibling even though she's the younger of the twins.' I thought as I walked out of the mansion again. 'I should probably give her more money to buy new flowers later. Yes. It's ruined because of Milea.'

Also, Naya Blacktomb. That girl might look simple and pure, but her blood-red eyes kept watching my every movement earlier.

'I might need to keep watch on her.'

After Arthur left, Duke Blacktomb's expression changed, and his smile dropped slightly. He looked at the wavy-haired girl beside him and asked,

"What do you think of him, Naya?"

"He's wonderful." Naya smiled beautifully, holding her cheek as if trying to keep it from melting. "He's just so wonderful."

"Hoo? You like him?" Duke Blacktomb smirked, "Would I finally see my daughter marry someone before my natural lifespan ended? Hahaha."

"Esteemed Father, you still have 16 years left before leaving this world! Besides, I never said I would marry him. We are from the Sin Kingdom and believers of Goddess Tera while he's Goddess Teri's Paladin. There is no way he will be willing to marry me even if I ask him!"

"But you do want to marry him." The Duke teased, making his daughter blush slightly. "Don't deny it, my daughter. You always said no when I introduced you to other gentlemen, but you didn't seem to deny that you like the Paladin. You become more honest like the teaching of Goddess Tera."

"Ugh…" Naya lowered her gaze, and her face turned slightly red. "I-I do admit that he's charming and kind, different from the perverts in the Sin Kingdom. Maybe my type is an innocent one from the Virtue Kingdom?"

"Is that so?" He hummed, looking at his daughter with a judging gaze. "Well, you dress more reservedly compared to other girls, so maybe that's the case. How could my first daughter be so innocent when her mother was a beast? Haa… It's troubling me."

"It's not your business!"

Having had enough of being teased by her father, Naya stood up and ran out of the room in embarrassment. The Duke laughed merrily and looked at the destroyed barrier.

"Indeed, the Paladin is wonderful. He broke my barrier just by walking past it. I might want it to be my in-law and marry him to my daughter if both are willing to. That wouldn't be so bad." He muttered and stood up, exiting the room.

His daughter was standing outside near the stairs, waiting for him with her arms crossed. Her elegant and pure manners from earlier were gone and were replaced by her usual, casual attitude.

"Shall we return to our temporary mansion?" The Duke said.

Naya nodded at her father, and both were going down. When they were about to pay for the breakfast, they found out that the Paladin had already paid for it, including their shares.

"Hahaha, he's also polite too. Naya, why don't you marry him if you like him? Charm him and bring him to the bed. That way, you can conquer his heart easily!"

"Father!" The black-haired girl shouted once again as her face reddened again in embarrassment.

She looked around and noticed many eyes were on them. That only made her more embarrassed, and she buried her face in her hands.

Inside the Virtue Royal Academy's headmistress office. I suddenly sneezed.

"Achoo!"

"Goddess Teri blesses you."

"I was blessed already." I wiped the snot that came out from my sneeze with a napkin I took from my inventory. "Still, headmistress. Have you finished your investigation about that lotion? I never expected to see you gesturing to me from the window. I thought you would need at least a few hours more."

"I got a clue," Alesia replied, sipping a hot tea from a cup.

Her complexion looked a little bit tired, and I thought that was natural because she probably pushed herself to find this clue she spoke of.

"The source of its distribution is an Underground City called Pleasure." She continued. "And Duke Blacktomb has nothing to do with this."

'Pleasure?' I raised my eyebrows, urging the headmistress to continue.

I was unfamiliar with that name. Or rather, it was the first time I knew that Underground City, except for the Border City, had a name. I just knew that they were Underground Cities.

"It's located near Bluerose Duchy," Alesia replied with a slight nod.

Hearing that name, I couldn't help but let out a sigh.I think you should take a look at

'Why am I not surprised?'

That made sense. The assassin under Duke Blacktomb received orders from his noble subordinates that they would be punished.

However, as they stayed under Duke Bluerose, I nor Duke Blacktomb didn't know what kind of order they received. It wasn't strange if I thought the lotion was from the Sin Kingdom if those assassins were the ones who spread it.

'Probably under Beatrice or Duke Bluerose's order. The problem caused by that bitch hadn't been fully finished yet?'

Perhaps I shouldn't give her a reward if she was truly the one who ordered that. But for what?

'Ah, she wants to make people addicted so she can take over the Virtue Kingdom easily. The lotion also didn't spread when Beatrice was in the Border City. This… Could she be the one who spread it to influence the Queen and King Cassius?

'And it only spread far after Ertha returned to the Academy City. It could also be not Beatrice but the people from this Pleasure City.'

"Arthur? Are you still with me?" Alesia called out, narrowing her eyes in displeasure.

I was pulled out of my thoughts as I blinked a few times, looking at the older elf.

"Ah, my bad. You can continue." I replied, "I just remembered something unpleasant about Bluerose Duchy."

"Understandable." She nodded, "Shall I continue?"

I nodded at her.

"The leader of the city, called Tyrant, has discovered a recipe to make that lotion in an ancient ruin. Because I only used Clairvoyance to take a look, I am unable to determine the recipe. However, I did find that it used acid slime and some kind of flower that had an addictive and aphrodisiac effect."

"Could it be, Pink Faced Flower?" I asked. That was the only flower that contained an aphrodisiac effect and was addictive. Usually, it was used to drug someone to train them as sex slaves back in Horizon Online, a really bad flower. I had many of them in my inventory, but I put them deep inside and swore that I wouldn't take them out.

Alesia's ears perked up when she heard the name, "What is that?" She asked.

"Drugs. Its addictive effect only worked on Humans and not other Races."

So that was why Eliza and Emilia felt a tingling effect. Thankfully, I cured them before they became addicted.

'I can't let my girls use the lotions any longer.'

If they wanted to have a lotion play, I had something better and harmless in my inventory. I should've known this was bad, but my lust overcame me.

'I guess the only way to fix this is to destroy the source.'

My plan to deal with the lotion and spread it to chosen individuals needed to be scratched. This thing was bad. Anything that used Pink Faced Flowers as ingredients should be destroyed.

'And here I thought that I would never hear its name again. I guess they really use the asset from Sins Paradise to create Horizon Online, huh? Except for the world and the lore.'

Looking at Alesia seriously, I asked, "Headmistress. Can you track where they got the flowers from? The faster, the better."

"I can." She nodded. "I received a report that some of our students went to a massage parlor that used this lotion. So this falls into my responsibility too. Just wait until tonight."

Hearing that, I couldn't help but smile. While it was just a coincidence that some students of the Royal Academy loved getting massages, especially the nobles, their product had touched them.

Thus, they released someone they shouldn't touch.

'I guess this will be easier than I thought.'

After thanking Alesia, I went to the church to talk with Ertha. Sana hadn't arrived yet and was still in the Holy City.

Finding the blindfolded Bishop was easy. She stood out with her pigtailed blue hair and huge breasts. And it was easier because she always stayed in Sana's office to deal with documents, though I was still confused about how she could read them.

I told her about my own 'investigation' about the lotion and gave her a clue. If possible, I wanted to settle this before the Annual Tournament, which would be held in three days. I guess that was enough time to wipe a city out of this world.

The problem was they could revive and could still sell the lotion if there was one surviving. And I didn't know who knew the recipe to make the lotion, which was troubling. However…

"If that's the case, then it's easy, Your Holiness. Spreading aphrodisiacs and selling them to make people do Sinful things, falling into lust, will give them Sins. And with enough Sins, I can send their souls back to the Goddess without waiting for their predetermined time. In fact, I have sent former Archbishop Jasper back to the Goddess' side."

The way Ertha smiled and clasped her hands together while mentioning killing them 'permanently' was something unexpected for me. And she already sent former Archbishop Jasper back to the Goddess' side?

ƥandasnovel·ƈom 'This girl is actually terrifying.' I added a note to myself to find Ertha if I wanted to kill someone in the future.

And so, we had some conversation and decided that tomorrow would be the best day to settle this matter. The church would help me destroy the transaction's source and arrest everyone responsible for it.

Of course, Cecil's merchant would be pardoned as he became our informant and only sold it without knowing the recipe.

The decision was made so quickly that I wondered if something like this happened in the past. It worked for me and the church, so I didn't complain. I just needed to wait for Alesia to give me a hit list for people who needed to die permanently or just got arrested tonight, as well as Pink Faced Flower's location.

"We did them a favor, so they should be grateful."

That was what Ertha said when I asked whether we should involve the government.

I agreed with her, and we smiled together.

And so, the raid toward Underground City 'Pleasure' was decided without even consulting the government. Even if they didn't like it, they wouldn't be able to do anything because we saved the Kingdom before the drug called pink lotion spread everywhere.

Before returning to my mansion, I informed Sophia, Rania, and my knight squad that there would be a raid tomorrow and they should prepare themselves. I also told Rania to inform Tristan about the raid but added the information about Pink Faced Flower.

That girl also knew about this. In fact, my guild joined the raid to eradicate Pink Faced Flower back in Horizon Online because one of Tristan's friends was kidnapped and about to be turned into a slave. Thankfully, we saved her in time, but that wasn't important right now.

Having the extra power of a Level 90 archer would make this raid easier.

After watching the knights under me express their acknowledgment and Rania run toward Tristan's dorm, I nodded and left the church.

I wasn't in a hurry to get the information from Alesia and just relaxed in my mansion. I sat on the chair near the garden, watching Lara instructing Milea how to fix the garden she ruined with her love juices.

The cheeky nun couldn't help but follow her order because of the pressure exuded from the younger twins. It was a funny sight.

Madam Vivian drank tea around the garden as she watched Milea with her two maids. She acted normally again and even wore a rather covered white dress instead of the one she wore to seduce me. And for some reason, her smile became more charming as she often waved at me shyly.

Time passed as I thought about the plan to raid the center of the transaction of the pink lotion. The main location that needed to be destroyed was the factory and this Tyrant's base. The church should've had the information as Ertha moved the shadow squad to concentrate around the Pleasure City.

And then there was also the Pink Faced Flower field. Even if there was no one who knew its effect anymore, it shouldn't be left alone. So I also needed to destroy it.

'If Tristan joined the raid, she could join my knight squad and the church to deal with Tyrant and his subordinates. She, Rania, and Sophia should be enough to deal with them. As for me… I should be the only one dealing with Pink Faced Flower as I won't be affected by its side-effect thanks to my title.'

It would be stupid if we successfully conducted the raid, but the members were affected by aphrodisiac and had a sudden orgy, which led to the church's reputation and force being destroyed by that.I think you should take a look at

Before long, Eliza arrived at the academy. However, there was another person with her. A short girl with long blonde hair and a rather modest chest, slightly bigger than Milea. She was wearing an elf tunic. She was Tristan.

'She did drink that potion.' I thought as I smiled wryly. 'But the effect didn't seem to work on her. Is it because she's short? Possibly.'

When she saw me, she immediately ran and stopped in front of me with her hands on her hips, puffing her chest and asserting authority.

"Explain what you mean by mentioning that flower." She said with a narrowing gaze.

Sensing the serious situation, Eliza didn't approach me and instead joined her mother in the garden. The nuns and maids looked at us briefly before returning to their jobs.

I looked up at Tristan and answered, "It appeared and is in distribution."

"Does it exist in this world?!"

I nodded.

Her eyes widened as she bit her lower lips. For her to meet me, even though she wanted to keep this new appearance a secret, just showed how important the Pink Faced Flower was in her life. Yes, important, in a bad way.

"Are you going to let it get distributed, Arthur?"

"No," I shook my head in response. "We will destroy the factory that created it tomorrow and kill everyone involved, permanently. I will also personally destroy the flower field so no one can use it again. I hope you can join the raid squad, Tristan."

"I will." She immediately answered. "I don't want any girls to experience something like that again, forcefully or willingly." Her tone was mixed in anger and hate.

I didn't say anything as I understood her feelings.

No one wanted to remember it, including me. That was why I regretted using that lotion to have fun with my girls as much as they wanted to use it.

"So, what are you waiting for? Looking at your style, you won't sit here without any plan." Tristan looked around, crossing her arms under her modest breasts, emphasizing them.

'This girl… She wanted me to notice it, huh? Shame on you, but I won't play with your game and give you satisfaction.' I thought as I suddenly felt something approaching.

"I am waiting for someone," I replied and stood up, patting her in the process.

Looking at the entrance, there was someone standing in front of it with a large witch hat. It was Alesia, and the gate opened automatically for her as she was the former owner of this mansion. She confidently strode in and approached me without greeting Vivian and the others.

No, she looked at Tristan for a second before turning at me as if nothing happened. But I did notice her gaze.

'Did she recognize Tristan? Or maybe it's the Elf tunic?' I thought but shook it away because there was a more pressing matter.

"How is it, Headmistress? Did you find it?" I asked with a smile. Tristan also turned around and looked at the elf who just arrived.

"Yes." Alesia nodded in answer as she stopped in front of me. "I found the flower field."

"Perfect." My grin widened, "Let's talk the details inside with my subordinate, Tristan."

Tristan nodded at the elf, which Alesia ignored for some reason. It made the cute tsundere angry a little. She didn't like to be ignored, after all.

I quickly asked the headmistress to enter before Tristan could say anything. Then I called for Milea to make us tea as we went to the drawing room.

Garcia, Cecil, and Lisa actually returned that night after I finished talking with Alesia and Tristan. They immediately hit the bed, tired from the investigation. Lisa actually wanted to keep watch at night, but I forced her to rest.

As for Alesia and Tristan, they returned to their respective home after our discussion to prepare for tomorrow.

The headmistress would communicate with me through [Earring of Communication] to direct me toward the flower field, which was apparently located far away from Pleasure City and was close to the border between the Virtue and Sin Kingdom.

She looked at Tristan once again before leaving. I was curious about what she had in mind, but I didn't ask because I knew she wouldn't answer me.

The next day arrived. It was 2 days before the Annual Tournament.

Students from each academy were nervous, and the citizens were excited to see the tournament because it was the biggest event the Academy City had offered. They could watch it through a projector magic item which would be installed in the city plaza or directly in the location.

But for me and the church knights, it was the day of the raid to destroy the source of Sins. To march toward the Pleasure City, it would need us around 2 or 3 days. However, the matter of time was settled thanks to Alesia. She was kind enough to help us teleport using her Space Magic.

The raid team consisted of two knight squads only. It was my knight squad and Gerald's knight squad. He was the captain of church knights in Bluerose Duchy, and Ertha said he would help because Pleasure City was close to Bluerose Duchy.

Because she acted as the replacement for Archbishop in that city for a while, she developed some kind of relationship with them. For the record, the broken Adam had lost all his memory and was now serving as a church knight to pay for his previous Sins.

Ertha was the one who saved him from Confusion and a Controlled state with the help of the Goddess. He was still Fallen, but his heart was said to believe in the Goddess Teri. She was also the one who told him about Adam's state just now.

'It seems the Goddess still has her attention on Adam, probably thanks to his title as [Child of Hell]. The charmed state should still be in effect, so I am not worried that he would lose control. Beatrice can command him if he tries to do something to us.'

However, the fact that the Goddess pardoned Adam to the point she helped to lift his Confusion and Controlled state made me curious about what was so special about Adam's title.

'I will use Appraisal on it later.'

Anyway, he was Level 65 Devilkin, or rather Level 64, after I killed him that day. He would prove to be an extra power to destroy that factory.

"Are you ready?"

Currently, I was in the church training area with Ertha and Alesia standing beside me. I was wearing black clothes and pants, Level 60 equipment made from [Speed Lizard, with the effect of increasing my AGI slightly.

My knight squad was standing in front of me, fully in silver armor and the equipment I gave them that night, except for Tristan, who wore a white elf tunic, green leather armor, and holding a pure white bow with a quiver slung over her back.

Rania stood in front of them all while holding a silver sword, [Fairy Longsword, in her left hand. It was something I gave her to replace her broken sword. Sophia held her claymore over her shoulders. Lea pumped her hands in front of her chest. Natasha nodded slightly.

Tristan looked rather serious because she knew how dangerous Pink Faced Flower was and wanted to destroy it quickly.

They were all answering at the same "Great." I nodded, turning to Ertha. "Pray for our success, Bishop Ertha."

"May Goddess Teri's blessing be with you, Your Holiness." The Bishop put her hands together above her large breasts and prayed.

Somehow, I felt a bit warm, as if she used a buff. The other seemed to feel it too, and looked around in confusion.

I quickly took a glance at my status and noticed that I was indeed buffed. All my status had increased slightly by 5 points, and I looked at Ertha in surprise.I think you should take a look at

'Her prayer has such an effect? Is it because she's the Holy Maiden, One of Holy Bodies, and Half-Angel?'

This helped.

"Thank you, Bishop Ertha," I said, and she smiled in response.

Turning to the headmistress, she nodded before I could say anything.

"Anytime." She said shortly. A long wooden staff appeared in her hand. For her to teleport six people at once, equipment was indeed needed. "Join them. I will teleport you to Bluerose Duchy, near the church."

"Alright." I nodded and went over to my knight squad. Standing beside Tristan, I gave a sign to Alesia that she could teleport us anytime.

Meanwhile, I whispered something to my closest comrade's ear.

"Be careful with someone named Adam. If he tries to do something that's not in the plan, kill him."

Hearing my serious warning, Tristan glanced at me and nodded without saying anything. She understood that my warning had a reason behind it.

"I will teleport you now." Alesia raised her wooden staff, and light converged in front of it.

A large magic circle appeared under our feet. It let out a golden glow, different from the usual teleportation circle she used to come and go. I also held a [Teleportation Gem, which would take me near the Pink Faced Flower field after I introduced my knight squad to Gerald.

When the light shone brightly at the end, our view shifted, and we arrived in a training area of the church in the Bluerose Duchy. It was smaller than the one in the Academy City, and a man in silver armor stood in front of us.

He was Gerald, and he saluted and bowed his head deeply.

"Welcome to Bluerose Duchy, Your Holiness. And everyone else from the Academy City too, welcome. My name is Gerald. I am Level 43, a Captain of the Bluerose Duchy church knight under Archbishop Linza. He is currently in the Holy City and is unable to greet you. Please forgive him."

"That's not a problem, Sir Gerald. Please guide them and tell them about the raid plan. I believe you've been given an explanation by the shadow squad."

"Yes, precisely." Gerald raised his head and flashed a smile. "Best of luck to you, Your Holiness. May I speak with the Vice-Captain of your squad?"

"That would be me." Rania stepped forward and saluted. "My name is Rania Reynala, the Paladin squad Vice-Captain. Let's talk about the details of our missions."

"Rania Reynala…" Gerald muttered as his eyes widened in realization. He then quickly returned to normal as he gestured. "Please, this way. The other knights will join our discussion."

"Yes." Rania nodded and followed Gerald with the others.

I waved my hand at them, "Good luck. I am counting on you." I said.

They nodded with smiles on their faces, except for Lea and Natasha, who appeared to be nervous. This would be their second mission, but this would also be the most important one they ever did. I hoped their nervousness would spell no trouble for them and everyone.

"Now then. Let's destroy the field."

I raised the [Gem of Teleportation] and activated it. My figure disappeared and reappeared on the hill before a wide flower field.

Report chapter Comments

Pink flowers spread everywhere my eyes could see, surrounded by a low fence to keep them safe from animals and monsters.

As Alesia had told me, it seemed like this was located near the border between the Sin Kingdom and the Virtue Kingdom, a perfect place to plant these flowers in secret.

The barren land sprayed on the edge of the field. The scenery was really different, and nothing grew on that land. The sky was filled with eternal dark clouds, creating shade without sunlight on the land.

And far in the distance, a light purplish color covered the sky, and the ground was colored red due to the interference of the magical border. If I passed the border and arrived in the Sin Kingdom, I wondered if the grass would still be red and the sky was light purple, just like what I saw here or not.

According to Duke Blacktomb, the scenery of the Sin Kingdom was similar to the Virtue Kingdom, so the difference in color was probably only because of the magical border. It disappointed me a little, but not too much.

As such, the difference in scenery made the pink flower field look more beautiful.

A few people dressed in farmer clothes seemed to tend the flowers, watering them and spreading some soil to keep them fresh.

Those farmers looked rather old, had wrinkles, and walked very slowly. Some of them were Humans, and some of them were Beastkins. The ones who seemed to be most affected were Humans as they also coughed thanks to the flower side-effects, which were harmful to Humans.

Narrowing my eyes in displeasure and using Appraisal and Presence Detection, I found out that they were from a very poor village near him and were given a job by those people in the Pleasure City.

"I need to evacuate them first."

I couldn't just kill them and send them all to the nearby churches. There would be commotions.

'I don't like this.'

Somehow this sight reminded me of Horizon Online, and I clicked my tongue in displeasure. Who knew that something like this and poor villages still existed in the Virtue Kingdom? I thought this place was like a heaven with no deaths, and everything was fulfilled.

My investigation also bore a similar result. However, it seemed like it was only on the surface. If there were no poor villages or people, why would Underground Cities and many orphanages exist? The numbers were also not low.

'I guess I am only blinded by my new stage. I should donate some Gold to the church again and let them take care of the poor villages more.'

Thinking so, I walked down the hill to warn those people. If they didn't want to evacuate, then forgive me for killing them.

Some people noticed me walking toward the flower field, and one approached me after putting down a sack of soil on the ground. Because I wasn't wearing armor nor holding a weapon, he lowered his guard and probably thought I wasn't dangerous.

"Young man, this is a private area belonging to a scary man! If you don't want to get hurt by his guards, please leave this area fast while they are still not awake!" The old man with deep wrinkles on his forehead and near his eyes shouted.

My lips rose into a small smile. I appreciated the warning, so I spoke in a calmer tone than I was about to use.

"Thank you, old man. But I should be the one to say that. This flower field will be destroyed soon, so return to your village with the other villagers. There will be reimbursement later for you and the others, so don't worry about not being able to eat or provide for your family.

"But if you choose to stay, then I can't force you to leave. However, do note that the church will deal with everyone staying in the flower field without exception. These flowers are dangerous and can make people fall into lust, thus are called Devil Flowers and will be eradicated."

Hearing my words, the old man stopped in his tracks, and his weary eyes widened, "A-Are you serious, young man? T-These flowers are Devil Flowers?!"

"Yes." I nodded.

"I am the representative of the church, the Paladin, Arthur Vainglory. In the name of the Goddess Teri, I will destroy this flower field and everyone guarding it. If you want to repent, I will give you 3 minutes to leave right now. Don't worry. You will be forgiven as long as you repent. Ignorance is not Sins."

A loud gulp resounded from him.

"O-Oooh! What have I done?! I… I actually cultivated the Devil Flowers." The old man was trembling in fear and guilt. He looked at me with quivered eyes and nodded firmly.

"Y-Your Holiness the Paladin. I shall comply. I shall tell my friends and leave! But… Can I request something? Please don't destroy the field before the Tyrant guards arrive. They… They stay in our village and will hurt our family if they see something wrong with the field. They will be here in a few minutes. Please!"

"Alright."I think you should take a look at

'Waiting for a few minutes shouldn't be a problem. It's better to kill them all at once instead of going to this old man's village to find them."

"Thank you! Thank you!" The old man bowed a few times before hurriedly turning his back and went to his companion.

He talked feverishly, trying to explain the situation and my identity to them as they gathered around the old man. The 10 or so men looked at me before turning to the old man, nodding their heads. Thankfully, they were all understanding and bowed their heads to me before leaving the flower field.

However, they didn't return to their village and chose to hide first, as the bad guys were still in their village. If they were known to slack off, their fate would be worse than death.

I nodded at them and went to hide myself. While doing so, I took out a weapon, a brown greatsword with a blade taller than myself. The sword guard was made of gold and was as heavy as a large boulder, and its name was [Cleaver].

This was perfect for burying those flowers. I couldn't burn them because the smoke and smell would affect the surrounding. So my only choice was to root it from the ground and put it in my inventory.

After waiting on the hill for a few minutes, the so-called Tyrant guards arrived. Their appearances were like those of thugs, untidy and only wore some simple shirts. There were a total of 6 men looking around the surroundings with pissed expressions.

"Where the fuck are those old men going?! Are they slacking off?"

"Hahaha, they're actually not here! Are they not afraid that we will rape their daughters after we kill the men in the village?! Even if they look skinny, I bet they are still able to satisfy us."

"Tsk! Where the fuck are they? If we don't send the flowers to Master Tyrant, we will be tortured before we are killed 3 times! Fucking old men!!"

Alright, they were scum.

I already knew since the start, but hearing them saying that loudly was different.

Holding [Cleaver] with both of my hands, I jumped down the hill and landed in front of the flower field. They noticed my presence but didn't do anything except narrow their eyes.

"Huh? Is he the one who chases those old men with that huge sword? Tsk! To think there is actually someone that finds the flower field. Are you from another Underground City, brat?!"

ƥandasnovel·ƈom One of them shouted loudly, but I ignored him and stabbed the sword on the ground. Then I used my skill, causing the sword to let out a faint golden glow.

"Prepare for a fight, you guys!" One thug noticed that I was about to use skill and pulled a knife.

But he was late.

"Mountain Cleaver"

I muttered the skill name and brought my sword up. At the same time, the ground in front of me was dug out as if a nuke had been dropped, bringing the dirt, soil, and flowers to the sky. That included the 6 thugs as their bodies were minced by the force that brought them up.

The whole flower field that spanned over a hundred meters was dug up at once. Thanks to [Cleaver, my Mountain Cleaver's skill effectiveness was increased. I thought I would need to do this twice, but my status seems to help me finish this once.

Then, I targeted all the flowers flying in the sky and put them in my inventory. For the out-of-range flowers, I used Blink to collect them manually.

Following that, I landed a bit away and watched the ground fall back. The thugs were buried nicely, and there was no sign of a flower field in the area anymore.

"Finished. I wonder if the others have started their raid yet?" I muttered as I put [Cleaver] back in my inventory. "They should be fine. More importantly, I should ask the old men whether there are similar flower fields anywhere or not. I doubt they only have one."

I wasn't naive enough to think they only had one flower field. According to what the thug said earlier, it seemed like they needed to fill a quota every day if they didn't want to be punished by this Tyrant.

'He seems strong, but Tristan should be able to defeat him easily.'

And so I began to move to find the other flower fields.

Report chapter Comments

Thanks to the information from the villagers and Alesia through the [Earring of Communication, I found the other 5 field locations easily.

Before going to destroy them, I left the old men 50 Golds each to survive a few days before the Church helped them, and they thanked me to the point of kneeling in front of me.

I thought it was just an exaggeration, but with 50 Gold, they could buy a lot of food from the merchant and survive with their family. Only then did I notice the severe condition of those villages near the border.

But I didn't stay for long and went to the corresponding location of the fields and destroyed them, putting all the flowers inside my inventory.

Because they were spread along the magical border between the two Kingdoms, it was easy to find them. It only took me less than an hour to destroy five fields and kill more than 30 thugs guarding them.

I informed Ertha through Alesia to send the news to nearby Churches if they had the thugs reviving in the revival chamber.

If there were any, I asked them to put them in jail and proceeded to wash their Sins and extract information from them in case I missed a hidden flower field. However, the process might need at least a day because the thugs needed time to revive.

So I decided to go to Bluerose Duchy to see the raid process and find a hidden entrance in case Tyrant or his subordinate was planning to escape.

"According to the time, they should've done with destroying the factory and just need to do some cleaning, right?"

That was if there was no problem. And so I began to run at full speed toward the direction of the Bluerose Duchy as I didn't have the [Teleportation Gem] that was set in that place, all while looking on my radar to evade people on my way.

At the Pleasure City. A few minutes ago.

The force of two knight squads, totaling 15 people with the addition of Adam, arrived at the entrance of the Pleasure City within the woods.

Rania led them with Gerald. Tristan was crouching on the tree branch, scouting the surrounding area. She wasn't worried about her panties being seen from below because her armor had an enhancement to add light under her skirt if anyone tried to peek.

And when they reached the entrance, Rania ordered them to stop and briefed them.

"Our target is the biggest factory in the middle. Tristan will be the one to destroy it, and we will kill everyone involved. Remember, there are no innocent people in the Pleasure City. So don't hesitate at all. They are evil who spread aphrodisiacs to normal people, making them fall to their lust!"

Rania's face looked serious, fitting her title as the closest one to becoming a Paladin and the former Knight Commander. Her voice boomed loudly, raising the other's spirit.

"Yes!" They answered at once, except for Tristan.

The blonde-haired girl only looked down with narrowed eyes, 'She's really a good leader. Not bad at all.' She thought.

As someone who often became a party leader of a dungeon exploration squad, Tristan understood that a leader should appear to be charismatic and fearless. That way, their subordinates would follow their lead.

Of course, there was an exception, such as Arthur, but that was because the guild was filled with strange people. They all only joined because they thought it was interesting and made Arthur the leader because of his name.I think you should take a look at

Though in the later part, he did become a splendid leader, but that took some process. Anyway, Tristan had no problem with Rania leading this operation.

'My job is clear. I just need to shoot an arrow to destroy the factory.'

As for Rania, she observed everyone with judging eyes. Gerald looked the most experienced and had a calm expression. Sophia, a former Captain, was also calm. But she had a strange feral grin on her face, which wasn't hidden by a helmet.

The other church knights also seemed to have no problem. But a young man, someone she recognized as student Adam back in the Royal Academy, looked rather dazed. However, he had a small smile and followed all orders given to him to perfection.

'He lost his memories due to Succubus' influence. But he should be strong and obedient. His job should be staying on Gerald's side to deal with our enemies.'

"If there is no problem, let's march inside. As soon as our presence is known, prepare to defend yourself from attacks." Rania commanded and wore a silver helmet. "Let's go!"

"Yes!"

The knights replied at once and wore their respective helmets, including Adam and Gerald. They followed Rania while brandishing their weapons and raising their shields. Only Tristan wore no helmet as she slipped inside the entrance with a swift movement.

It was connected to a staircase going underground. The entrance was wide enough for five people to walk side by side. They quickly marched down as their metal armor created a loud noise, and heavy footsteps rang. Looking at them, Tristan thought they would be found out before arriving in the Pleasure City. So she made a decision.

"I will go first." She said to Rania.

"We will arrive soon."

Hearing Tristan's strength from Arthur, Rania didn't stop her and only told her so. The petite archer nodded and used a skill to enhance her speed, running down the stairs like a wind. Everyone was surprised by her sheer speed as she disappeared.

Along her way, Tristan also used every buff she knew. She wasn't sure how big this 'factory' was, so he judged it as big as a normal factory on Earth. That meant she needed an exploding arrow to destroy it in one shot.

"Blessing of Sylph," She muttered and activated her last buff as she arrived at a large exit. She had arrived in Pleasure City, and a pungent smell attacked her nose.

The city located in the underground was large, probably a quarter the size of the Academy City, the second biggest city in the Virtue Kingdom. It was half the size of Bluerose Duchy, but the situation of the city was bad.

Trash was everywhere, and pink smoke rose from the chimney of the big factory in the middle of the city. From the entrance that was on the elevated ground, Tristan was able to see it clearly. Her first estimation wasn't on point. The factory was only big because the surrounding buildings were small.

Unlike the reformed Border City, Pleasure City was more like slums. It wasn't fit for a human to live in it. It was like a pig pen and probably only used to produce some drugs and the recently pink aphrodisiac lotion.

"That's my target, quite a big one," Tristan muttered as she took out a white mask to cover her nose. The smell was unbearable for her.

"Let's finish it quickly and get out of here. Rania and the others can deal with the aftermath." She said, knocking a red arrow into the pure white bow and aiming it toward the factory.

Report chapter Comments

Because Tristan had used all buffs she needed on her way here, she just needed to activate her last skill before releasing the arrow.

Her MP was drained slightly as she narrowed her eyes in concentration.

"Meteor Shot"

Pang!

The red arrow was released with a loud sound, traveling toward the middle of the city while leaving a red trail like a meteor. It lit the city brightly, and everyone stopped to look at it and landed right at the factory.

It was then a bright light suddenly covered the whole city. The light engulfed everything, followed by an explosion sound.

Booom!!!

The earth quaked, and a shockwave kicked everything out of the way. Small buildings were knocked out; people were flying from the shockwave alone. Debris flew around everywhere as black smoke filled the area.

And the factory that stood in the middle disappeared, leaving nothing but black, scorched ground.

At the same time, loud footsteps arrive from the entrance behind her. Tristan turned around and saw their surprised gesture, as she couldn't see their expressions behind their helmets.

Casually, she raised her hand and pointed at the city below, which was left half destroyed.

"I will leave the rest to you guys."

Rania recovered fast after she heard Tristan's voice. She looked at the girl and nodded.

"Yes. You've done enough."

Inside, she had a different thought. 'So this is Tristan's strength? Arthur said he knew her from way before, but… I don't know if she is this strong. Thankfully, we will do the duel on the bed, and Arthur will decide the winner. If we have an official duel, I might probably lose before I can move.'

Gulping, Rania composed herself and raised the [Fairy Longsword].

"Let's punish the Sinner! Paladin Knight Squad, follow me! The rest will follow Sir Gerald!"

"Yes!"

"This way!" Gerald commanded and jumped down the elevated ground toward the left while Rania went to the right.

And they began to send the remaining people to the revival chamber in Bluerose Duchy one by one.

In a small path hidden beneath the crumbled factory, a man was crawling slowly while holding a case filled with Gold.

Due to his drug usage, this man had a sharp jawline, thin hairline, and sunken eyes. An unpleasant aura escaped his body, more than what Duke Blacktomb exuded. That meant this man, the one known as Tyrant, had more Sins than even a Duke of the Sin Kingdom.

He was really lucky because his subordinates informed him that there was someone who made a ruckus in the flower fields. With his instinct honed as someone working in the underworld and the fact his subordinates, who had an average Level of 30, didn't inform him, he decided to flee.

Who knew that his decision would save him?

"Damned Castitas Church! I thought we were safe because they did nothing when we first spread the lotion, but to think they would launch a raid like this… Where did the information leak? I made sure the merchants didn't sell anything to people from the church and evade them!"

That wasn't important. The most important thing was that the church had found his hideout and destroyed his most important factory!

His business was over. There was no hope for recovery.

"Shit, shit!"

Tyrant kept crawling, ignoring the ground shaking. He moved faster, afraid of getting buried alive. That would be bad for him and the case he held in his hand.

After a few while, he managed to see a wooden door connected outside. A smile bloomed across his face as he crawled faster. Then when he reached it, he pushed the wooden door and exited the small tunnel.

However… he wasn't alone.

"Hello there. Quite a good day, huh?"I think you should take a look at

In front of his face was a young man with handsome features and blond hair that was slicked back. He smiled at him like a sun, but it sent a shiver down Tyrant's body as he remembered the news he received.

Without saying anything, he raised his arms high, kneeled, and asked for forgiveness, "Please let me go! Forgive me!"

Usually, this kind of tactic would work in front of people from the church, especially those whose faith couldn't be shaken and who believed that Virtues are just. In front of him was someone they called Paladin. The person who reached that rank should be a pious believer, no?

Or so was what Tyrant thought as he hid his smile. But…

"No."

"Huh?!" The answer wasn't what he expected, and his vision suddenly turned around.

The world was spinning, and he could see his own body still kneeling in front of the handsome boy with his hand covered in a blue aura. The headless body slowly fell as it dyed the green grass with red color from the blood, and there was a vicious smile on the blond-haired boy.

'Mons…ter…' It was what Tyrant thought before he fully lost consciousness and died.

As I had expected, there was a secret path to escape from the Pleasure City.

After running around the area and checking my radar, it seemed like there was only one secret path. The other was either sealed or destroyed by the explosion.

If I didn't notice a red dot suddenly popping up and crawling slowly toward one of the secret entrances, then I wouldn't notice that this guy was trying to run.

With a quick Appraisal, I found out he was Jack, someone who was often called Tyrant. He also brought a case full of Gold coins and bars, the profit from selling drugs, and the pink lotion.

Of course, I took it with me in my inventory and left the area. He would probably be resurrected in the Bluerose Duchy or the church in the area, as I bet even if they had a revival chamber, it was now in a mess.

The cleanup squad seemed to have done their job too. For some reason, I couldn't detect any dots in the Pleasure City, but when they got out, I could see their dots again. Was it because Pleasure City was considered 'another area' and thus couldn't be scanned from outside like a dungeon?

That was possible.

Maybe it was also applied to other Underground Cities, making me unable to scan them from outside.

'Now it makes sense. That explains why I can't find them using my radar, as they are considered a 'different area' from the surface. And because they are away from each other, I can't find the others even if I am inside that area.'

Well, as long as I had Alesia with me, I didn't need to find the Underground Cities manually if I needed to. I could just ask her.

Walking toward the friendly dot, I wore a smile on my face. The knights had done with the cleanup and were now gathering near the entrance that Alesia told us.

ƥandasnovel·ƈom After a while, I could see them. They seemed to be dispirited. Figures, they just massacred an entire city. However, they shouldn't feel bad. Everyone could revive, and we could find the innocents among the criminals.

Adam didn't seem to be strange. His gaze was still empty, and he followed Gerald's order obediently. Using Appraisal, I found his status was the same as before but without Controlled and Confusion, only Charmed and Fallen. Good.

Also, the knights didn't need to feel bad. The people they killed were bad people who created drugs and aphrodisiac lotion. They deserved to be punished.

But, as the church knights' leader, I also had a duty to appear fine even if I wasn't. So I smiled, reassuring them that I was fine, and greeted them with a wide smile.

"Good job, everyone. Let's go home and take a nice bath!"

They turned to me at once and saluted. Their faces were hidden behind their helmets, but I knew they felt reassured by my presence.

Tristan was smiling while crouching on top of a tree. She grinned and waved her hand softly. Her mouth moved, and she muttered in a low voice, 'Good job, leader.'

'No. Good job, Tristan. I know that you destroyed the city so the others won't feel bad about killing the rest of the people there in the name of punishment.'

Playing to be the devil. That was just like her that I knew.

'Let's give her a rest tomorrow and bring her to a nice place. Yes, that's at least what I can do to make her relax again.'

So the raid ended in under 2 hours, with the Paladin Knight Squad playing the most important role. One Underground City, Pleasure City, was destroyed, and everyone was killed. This news would spread all over the Virtue Kingdom tomorrow to show the strength of the church knight in destroying evil.

Gerald and the company settled the aftermath. Archbishop Linza returned from the Holy City to the Bluerose Duchy to help with the criminals. He also told me that Archbishop Sana had returned to the Academy City and was waiting for me.

My knight squad and I didn't stay for long and returned using [Teleportation Gem] we prepared beforehand. We reappeared in the training area behind Academy City's church.

Sana was waiting for me there with a bright smile.

"Sir Arthur, welcome back. I am sorry for leaving so suddenly when there is such a case." She bowed her head at me. Then she raised her head and looked at me with a serious expression. "I know that you're tired, but… May I have a bit of your time?"

"Sure." I nodded.

"Thank you very much. Please, this way, Sir Arthur."

Following that, I asked Rania, Sophia, Tristan, and the others to rest and have a day off until the Annual Tournament. Then I followed Sana to the church, using Purification on myself to get rid of the blood smell.

On our way, I asked her how Holy City was, and she explained it happily.

"The Holy City has a barrier erected by Her Eminence Pope to keep the west monsters from advancing from the World-End border. It's a beautiful city with many glass windows and golden roofs. The biggest church is also located in the Holy City, and the Goddess would descend in one of the Holy Bodies each year on her birthday, the 1st day of the year, to preach to us!"

Sana's expression when she mentioned the Goddess was like an avid believer who didn't even care about anything else. She had known how the Goddess slept with me, but her faith was still strong.

'Is it because she thought it was natural for the Goddess to sleep with her Paladin? Or did the Goddess do something to Sana? It's probably the former because I heard a sentence in the Holy Book that tells the nun to have a descendant with the Paladin if possible.'

As we walked to the inner section of the church, she kept explaining how the Holy City and the surrounding scenery to me. While it wasn't as big as Bluerose Duchy, the Academy City, or the Capital, many strong church knights were stationed there.

Many nuns of various origins, Bishops, Archbishops, and even 2 Cardinals that directly served Pope Juriel lived in the Holy City. Those 2 Cardinals would change every 50 years, directly chosen by the Pope.

Apparently, it would also change in a few months, and Sana was aiming for that position. She winked at me and told me to keep it a secret in a playful manner.

For some reason, we passed by Sana's office and kept going.

"Where will you take me, Sana?" I decided to ask as we stepped on the third floor.

There was almost nothing here besides the open area to see the hall and a luxurious room in the back. Even if Sana wanted to talk to me privately, her office was usually enough for that.

The cute Archbishop looked at me over her shoulder and smiled.

"Someone wants to meet you, Sir Arthur. Because her visit is a secret that only I know, we can't use my private office and can only use the Holy Room. Her presence is a little special, and she needs a certain preparation before showing up in front of many people."

Hearing that, my eyes widened in realization.

Someone who wanted to meet me and visit in secret. The luxurious room on the third floor was called the Holy Room. And from Sana's words, she was a little special and needed a certain preparation before showing up in front of many people.

There could only be two possible people. One was the Goddess. There was a possibility she descended on Ertha's body to answer some of my questions regarding Adam.

But knowing that Ertha was helping to deal with the aftermath of the previous raid. She could also descend on Sana's body like before, but that couldn't explain the dot inside the said 'Holy Room' that we would visit.

Then there was only one possible possibility left.

'The Pope is visiting?' I thought.

I didn't know that she could visit before the final of the Annual Tournament.

Just like Sana explained earlier, the Pope needed to maintain the barrier in the Holy City, or it would crumble, and the monsters from the west border would flock in.

And the reason why she couldn't meet many people without special preparation should be related to her Race. She was part of a Race with a long lifespan; she had probably lived as long as the world or even just a bit younger than it. One thing for sure was she was older than even Alesia.

"Fufufu, I see that you have guessed who is waiting for you, Sir Arthur."

Sana's low giggle pulled me out of my thoughts. I looked at her and nodded.

"I do. I just never expected for her to visit today."

"Indeed. She planned to visit 3 days before the final of the Annual Tournament, meaning in 2 days. However, today's raid and the matter of the Princess have garnered her attention, so she decided to visit you to discuss it as I returned to the Academy City today." She explained and stopped in front of a wooden double door.I think you should take a look at

"She's waiting inside for you as she prepares her skill. Unfortunately, I cannot meet her directly without the help of a special curtain or high enough Lv of Holy Magic to withstand her presence before she prepared herself with Holy Shroud, so I will excuse myself here, Sir Arthur."

"Alright. Thanks for guiding me, Sana."

"It's my pleasure." Sana bowed once and turned around to leave.

I wasn't in a hurry to open the door and waited for Sana to leave first.

'Holy Shroud, huh? So that's the special preparation the Pope needed to hide this something that can't be seen directly by anyone not strong enough?'

If that was the case, then I could help her. It was a part of Lv 8 Holy Magic. Before reaching Lv Max, the skill needed a casting time of 24 Hours to use it. And the skill's effect was to hide bad status or aura title for 3 days. It was a skill needed for an ambush or espionage on the enemy's base.

'It's also a skill to stop Appraisal from higher Leveled people. So the Pope either wants to hide her Race, her status and possibly this aura she has that can hurt or have a bad effect on other people.'

That was understanding and kind of her.

In Lv Max Holy Magic, I could use Holy Shroud without channeling for a day. I just needed 5 minutes, and the effect lasted for 5 days due to the bonus one received when they achieved Lv Max Holy Magic.

But I also found out that the Pope was able to use Lv 8 Holy Magic from this. She was indeed fit to be a pope.

After Sana's footsteps turned faint, I stepped forward to the double door and knocked on it thrice.

"You may enter, Sir Paladin. Please excuse my rudeness, but I can't help you open the door because I am still channeling a skill and am currently blindfolded."

Before I could say anything, a soft voice belonging to a mature woman resounded. The voice was soothing as if she was speaking directly to my soul, giving me a nice feeling. Even the best singer on Earth would fall silent when they heard her voice.

I used Calm Mind to get rid of any thought that would make me think of anything else. The Pope was dangerous in every meaning of words.

Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door open and was greeted by a luxurious room filled with golden furniture and green plants that grow on pots.

In the middle of the room was a bed with a white curtain. Sitting on it was a beautiful woman with long blonde hair. Her beauty could blind people; her whole body was shining. The white blindfold covering her upper face didn't affect her beauty at all.

A golden halo floated behind her head, hovering over so slightly. Her hands clasped together in front of her huge breasts covered in a white holy dress with a slightly exposed cleavage. I had a feeling she had a pair of white wings too, but she seemed to hide it already.

There she was, smiling softly at me while channeling a skill Holy Shroud to hide her divine appearance partially.

"I finally am able to meet you, Your Holiness. I have heard about you from the Goddess, oh kind man from another world." She spoke in a soft tone as I stepped forward and closed the door.

My step froze a little as she called me a man from another world. And she didn't say Goddess Teri like the others, but just Goddess.

'She knows? How much does the Goddess tell her about me?'

However, there was no sign that she minded that detail as she continued.

"Maybe you already know about me, but allow me to introduce myself. I am the Pope of Castitas Church, from an Angel Race. Please call me Juriel."

"It's also nice to meet you, Pope Juriel."

I greeted her back with a bright smile. I didn't even think about whether she was able to see me or not. And because she didn't have any problem with me being from another world or not, I changed the way I introduced myself a little bit.

"I am Arthur. Just Arthur. Vainglory was a name given to me by the church when I became a Paladin. If she called me the man from another world, then that introduction was the best I could offer.

Also…

"If I may offer a little assistance, do you want me to help you cast Holy Shroud in under 5 minutes?"

"Yes, please." The Pope replied with a slight nod. "That would be wonderful."

That was my first meeting with the Pope, who apparently hid and knew many secrets that I didn't know yet.

After casting Holy Shroud on Pope Juriel, the aura and golden glow from her body disappeared alongside her halo.

I nodded in satisfaction as Juriel looked at her body in amazement.

"Your Holy Magic is indeed beautiful and strong. To think you can cast Holy Shroud that fast. And it's even stronger than the one I can cast! Could it hold on for 4 days?" She asked, tilting her head slightly.

"Five days." I corrected her, "And it will block any probing magic cast on you and hide any bad status, bad effect, or aura caused by your skill. Is that enough?"

"That's more than enough. You're truly as powerful as the Goddess had told me." The Pope nodded and scooted to the side. She then patted the bed beside her.

"Please sit here, Paladin Arthur. There is something I need to talk about with you a little. The Goddess only told me a little about you, and I am really curious about the new Paladin. Can you humor me with a few of my questions, if you don't mind?"

"Of course." I nodded and sat beside her while maintaining our distance.

This was our first meeting, and I had yet to know Juriel's personality well.

Unlike the Goddess, who told me she wanted to have sex with me using Sana's body, Jurie was more reserved and like a real holy maiden. Her smile was also giving me a calm feeling.

"Hmm, your smell is good, Paladin Arthur." Juriel suddenly spoke as she leaned closer slightly, surprising me.

Then she jerked her head back, covering her mouth with her hand. "Ah, my apologies. As an Angel, I can smell your Mana. Because of your proficiency in Holy Magic, your mana is mixed with its properties and gives me a good smell. That's what I mean by smelling good."

How do I say it? The Pope was similar to Sana in one way or another. Or should I say Sana was similar to the Pope?

They often said something first before noticing what they said and quickly corrected it. They were also intelligent and polite but often got worked up quickly.

I chuckled slightly, and Juriel turned speechless.

"I apologize. It's just that what you said earlier reminded me of Sana a little bit. She often made a similar mistake and apologized quickly." I explained.

Juriel's smile turned warm and gentle as I mentioned Sana. She put her hands on her thighs and looked at me.

"That kid still has the same habit as me. It makes me happy but worried at the same time." She said, giggling softly.

"I know about her ambition to become a Cardinal under me, but it's just too impossible for that kid. I prefer her to stay as an Archbishop and stay by your side, Paladin Arthur. She seems to be happier than becoming a Cardinal. Ah, don't tell her about this. She will be upset." She put her index finger on her mouth.

"I understand. I will keep it a secret."

Two Cardinals were chosen every 50 years, probably because the previous Cardinals' lifespans were exhausted, so they needed to choose a new one. But…

"Why don't you want Sana to become a Cardinal, Pope Juriel?"

"Because the Cardinals have no freedom. They need to help me to make a barrier in the Holy City, so the monsters can't advance. They indeed have high positions, but that's in the name only, fufufu."

'So that's the case.' I nodded in understanding.

"Please ask your question, Pope Juriel. I will answer it to the best of my ability."

"Very well. First, I want to ask about the Princess' case. Is it really necessary to get rid of her?" Juriel's soft tone turned serious as she straightened her posture.

"She wanted to use me and the church." My answer was firm and to the point.

As I mentioned before, I did believe letting the Princess do as she pleased wasn't something I should bother with. I had already answered this question many times, and my answer remained the same.

"And I can't revert what I did. The Kingdom is already corrupt, and I will put it in the right person's hand to fix it."

"Are you the right person, Paladin Arthur?"

"No." I shook my head with a self-deprecating smile. "While I can do almost anything, handling a nation is a bit too much for me. In the past, I had my friends help to stabilize my nation. Isn't there a perfect person to rise in power in this church?" I asked, grinning slightly. "My, who do you mean by the perfect person?" Juriel smiled and held her cheek with her hand.

She clearly knew what I meant and already thought of that.

Since the charity from the Kingdom and the Nobles decreased, there was a clear sign of corruption in the Virtue Kingdom. Duke Bluerose's case was the perfect example of it.I think you should take a look at

If I didn't go there, the fallen Archbishop Jasper wouldn't have been found out for a while, and Ertha wouldn't have gone to the Bluerose Duchy and met me.

However, when I heard that the Holy Maiden had a Oracle skill, I began to think that there was no way the church didn't notice Beatrice and the fallen Archbishop Jasper. That incident seemed to be planned behind my back to raise my reputation.

Also… that blue hair and the lack of information I got from 'Requirement Appraisal.' If it was the Goddess, then she probably could disturb my skill and perk. After all, the Goddess was part of the system and the one who created it.

"Isn't Ertha someone from the Royal Family that went to the church? The fact she wore a blindfold meant she had a sin that she herself couldn't forgive, and that's abandoning her duty and family. I believe the Church is raising her in case something like this happens, no?

"That's why I don't do anything to the 'Real Princess' yet and only make her disappear. The lack of response and the fact that Archbishop Sana and Archbishop Linza returned to the Holy City can be explained by the fact that you have a plan to fill the spot of the Royal Family too.

"Besides… The church has always been strange. Why would a Paladin have higher authority than you and the King? Even if I am the Goddess' apostle, that's just too much." I finished my explanation by shrugging my shoulders and exhaled.

If Juriel didn't raise this question, I would probably just keep silent. And if anyone else besides her, who knew my secret, asked me, I would just say that Princess Carissa was troublesome and I hated her, so I made her disappear.

"I didn't expect you to be able to guess all of that, Paladin Arthur." The Pope didn't seem to be surprised and only praised me. She clapped her hands, making the clapping sounds echoing in the small room.

"But you're wrong about something. We don't plan to raise Ertha to take the throne. She's our family. Instead, we will support the Queen to take her throne and become the ruler of this Kingdom. She's a kind and smart woman, so I believe she will do well. Especially since she will be loyal to someone soon."

I was wrong about my theory about Ertha's situation, huh? Though she didn't deny that Ertha came from the Royal Family.

Still… I looked at the Pope with disbelief. Was she for real? I was expecting something… like a rejection.

"So I am free to do as I please with the Princess?"

"If you already have a concrete plan, then feel free to. Rather, I will help you. Well, King Cassius is a parasite who thinks he can command this Kingdom. We, Castitas Church, have always thought the Queen is a better ruler, so this is a perfect chance to do that.

"In fact, the donation we received only decreased when King Cassius rose to the throne. So we are wondering how we can push the Princess to become the new Ruler, but you have taken care of her. Our only choice is the Queen right now."

"It will cause chaos, you know?" I laughed dryly.

"It is what the Goddess wants." The Pope smiled softly, hiding a lot of meaning behind it.

"I am just her Angel and Luxuria Church's Pope is just her Devil. That's why my authority is lower than yours, her beloved Paladin." She added, answering the question I wanted to know.

'Because the Goddess wants King Cassius to step down, then everyone would follow. It's truly scary when I think that everyone can be controlled by faith.'

My plan was to charm King Cassius. But the church seemed to want to 'get rid' of him and place the Queen as the new ruler. They knew the Queen better than I did, but I had influenced her through Beatrice.

Even now, King Cassius was probably already charmed by Beatrice, becoming an obedient slave. And the Queen was also affected by the rumor, thinking that the King and the Princess did something unforgivable.

I just needed to change a little bit of my plan from the King sentenced the Princess to death to the King protecting a Vampire with his life, opposing Castitas Church's Pope and the Paladin.

Even in the Virtue Kingdom, everything could be ruled out.

This world might still have more mysteries than I initially thought. The matter of the church. The fact Pope Juriel knew my secret and probably was the Pope from the Luxuria Church too.

Virtue was just a name. Everything was based on Sins.

That was why Domination House also used 'Sins' to dominate people and 'Virtue' to free oneself from domination. But Virtue was truly hard to obtain.

'Maybe that's why this world is Sins Paradise. Virtues have no standing in this world.'

I couldn't help but laugh at this. Thankfully, I didn't plan to become a Saint in this world and lived as I pleased from the start.

"That satisfies my first question, Paladin Arthur." Pope Juriel spoke once again in a soft tone. "May I ask my second question?"

"Please, do ask," I answered.

"Do you want to know the way to return to your world?"

At her question, my breath was cut short, and my body froze.

"Phew…" I exhaled my breath as I looked at the horizon from the tall wall near the church training area.

Juriel's last question made me throw away all the others I had.

But my answer was the one that baffled me.

"I am not interested, huh?"

For some reason, I immediately answered as such, making her smile and saying that today was enough and she was tired. After she apologized, I gave her a stamina potion in case she needed it and left the room, going on top of this wall.

I knew better than the others that my thoughts couldn't be influenced. But most probably, Juriel had a skill or a title that made me answer her honestly. Yes, that was the feeling I had when answering her questions.

And she even wished me luck in finding the clues the Goddess told me in the four borders. How much did that Goddess spoil Pope Juriel? Indeed she was beautiful and kind, but there was a limit to spoiling one subordinate, no?

I also spoiled my subordinate, so I couldn't say anything. But…

"What a scary Pope. Even I, who have many titles and skills, still answer her honestly. Is that the perk of being an Angel? No, maybe that's her perk as a Pope of the Castitas Church." I muttered.

Did she do that to help me find the answer myself? I was curious about the clues the Goddess told me located in four borders.

My desire to return home disappeared slowly as I lived in this world. At most, I only wanted to know what happened to my original world, especially after I saw that thing in the World-End Waterfall.

I took out the [Teleportation Gem] I set on that flying island in the World-End Waterfall and raised it to the sky, inspecting the shiny gem as it reflected sunlight.

"Will there be something similar in the other borders? I should let Tristan take a look if that's the case."

"Take a look at what?"

A voice belonged to a young girl answering my muttering. I looked at the source of the voice and saw Tristan in casual clothes. She was wearing a white shirt and a black skirt connected to her shoulders. Bending over, her face was close to my face.

"What do you plan to do, Arthur? You keep so many secrets to the point it's unhealthy." Her expression turned sour as she pushed me over to the side and sat beside me. "So, what is it with me taking a look at something?"

"Hahaha, there is nothing," I replied with a playful tone and put the [Teleportation Gem] inside my inventory. "I want you to take a look at new clothes. But I don't think that's necessary. You look cute in those clothes, Tristan."

"That won't work on me." She replied dryly.

However, her face had a shade of red, and the corner of her lips curled up slightly in happiness. She was lying when she said it wouldn't work on her.

'Still the same tsundere,' I thought as my mouth formed a smile.

"But seriously." Tristan raised her voice as she looked at me.

"You keep too many secrets from me or even those girls who love you. Don't try to keep them by yourself and share them with us sometime. So, what are you thinking right now?" She asked with narrowed eyes, scrying me without giving me room to say otherwise.

"I know." I nodded at her, putting on a solemn expression. "It doesn't seem like I have any desire to return to my home except for seeing my real body's condition right now. My talk with the Pope earlier just made me a little bit honest, and I answered that I wasn't interested in returning home anymore."

"Hmm… So that's your problem." Tristan hummed as if this wasn't a problem, to begin with.

"You survived Horizon Online and killed the last boss alone to return home. As for me, that desire has long gone, and I just want to live happily. Well, that wish was granted a few days ago. So don't take it away, please." She smiled softly, looking at me with a hidden meaning.I think you should take a look at

She leaned her head against my shoulder. A soft breeze of wind hit us, ruffling our hair.

Somehow, I wouldn't be surprised if someone thought of us as long-lost siblings due to our similar hair color. Well, I guessed some church knight thought of that. But that was only due to Horizon Online only having a few customization and blond was the favorite color besides black and red.

"If you say it like that, I just lost one more reason to return to my home," I replied with the same smile. "Well, about the thing I muttered earlier, it's about the thing in the World-End Waterfall. Did you remember that I suddenly felt danger and fled from that "I do." Tristan nodded.

"I said that I saw something, right?"

As I continued, Tristan moved away and looked at me seriously. She urged me to continue with her eyes which had a deep curiosity in them.

"The cloud that was created from the waterfall was what I saw first. It was beautiful, and I enjoyed it. Rather, you also saw how beautiful it was, right?"

"Yes. We can't find any waterfalls like that anywhere. That was truly beautiful, although there were many monsters behind us at that time." Tristan giggled cutely as she remembered the sight of that time.

"That made me question if the world has an edge and it's only an abyss beyond that. Why would there be a cloud rising from the waterfall?" I asked while looking at Tristan seriously.

That was what made me peek inside the abyss, to begin with. Well, I planned to take a peek, but the cloud made me curious enough.

Tristan kept listening seriously as she had a confused look. She held her chin and fell into deep thought, thinking of how that was possible.

In our previous situation, many monsters surrounded us, and we had no leeway to even think of that.

It was just a coincidence that I managed to find the strangeness of the giant waterfall.

"Before the feeling that even made me wary of being attacked, I managed to take a peek at what lay behind the abyss. That monster or creature that gave me that feeling probably tried to stop me from seeing further before I visited the other borders." I continued, looking down at the Academy City bustling with activities.

"What did you see? I always asked about this before, but you dodged the question."

"Hahaha, forgive me. I just couldn't accept it at that time." I laughed and patted her head. She didn't dodge and let me caress her hair. "This is also why I am curious about other borders. I want to know whether I can find that thing again or not."

Taking a deep breath, I looked at Tristan seriously.

I didn't know how she would react to this. My eyes seemed able to pierce the darkness for some reason, while she couldn't.

It probably was also my relationship with that person behind the system and the Goddess. It could also be because of my perk and my skill that made no ill status, illusion, or even anything that fooled my perception work on me.

"What I saw in that abyss was…"

Tristan looked at me, waiting for me to finish my sentence. I gulped once again, squeezing the word out of my mouth.

"…Destroyed Earth."

Her eyes widened in horror.

Report chapter Comments

After I explained what I saw in that abyss to Tristan and the presence that scared me away, she understood why I wanted to find a way to return home and confirm my real body's condition.

That might be just my excuse, but I didn't think much about it anymore. The Goddess' clue made me think that what I saw was just an illusion from that creature who gave me fear.

Though that wasn't too important, and it became my long-term goal to visit the other borders.

Tristan and I parted ways after we had lunch.

She said she wanted to rest because the psychological exhaustion from the morning raid was just a bit too much and made her tired.

Naturally, I wished her a fast recovery.

I didn't need to worry about her as I knew Tristan could handle it, especially since she had experienced that hell when she first transmigrated, and the fact she didn't actually kill them permanently.

But for some reason, she said for me to look forward to the near future before she left. Was she talking about duels?

Days passed quickly. Eliza often stayed with Emilia after school to learn general knowledge and magic. The church was busy with the aftermath, dealing with the new prisoners and dealing with spreading the news about them.

They also took almost all the pink lotion from every city, locating them and confiscating them. Of course, those who got addicted already were asked to come to the church to receive treatment for free. It wasn't their fault for being ignorant.

As for me, I relaxed at home. I had already talked with Duke Blacktomb and Pope Juriel. Though I wanted to know how the Duke would mask his unpleasant aura when he showed up in the final of the Annual Tournament later, I could just ask him in the near future.

When I thought about it again, didn't his daughter, Naya, have no unpleasant aura? She actually had no Sins? What an oddball of a girl.

For the last 2 days, because everyone was looking forward to the Annual Tournament, only Garcia and Cecil accompanied me at night, alternatively. Vivian was still a bit reserved and didn't want to ask me to sleep with her directly yet.

And then… The day of the Annual Tournament arrived.

There were many venues. But the biggest and most crowded one was the Virtue Royal Academy training area, now open to the public.

A crowd filled the spectators' seats. Inside, the hall was filled with excitement and shout. Everyone was waiting for the close-range weapon tournament. This was a once-a-year tournament that everyone, students and citizens, had been waiting for equally.

Those who participated were given a room based on their Academies. However, for some reason, I wasn't with them.

Instead, I was called by the headmistress Alesia and was asked to sit beside her on the special balcony for the Virtue Royal Academy. She was wearing a long robe on top of her usual black dress.

There were five similar ones for the other headmistress of each academy, and I could finally see how they looked.

Starting from our right was the Castitas Academy's headmistress. Unsurprisingly, it was my beloved Archbishop Sana who attended. She was wearing a full dress with a long skirt and her usual black coat. When I looked over, she waved her hand at me with a smile. Ertha accompanied her in her nun clothes.

On the next balcony was Temperantia Academy's headmaster. He had a scar across his face, which was rare in this world. His look screamed that he was a real knight and had a sturdy build. He wore a white and yellow uniform that looked similar to a knight's. No one was accompanying him.

Then there was Diligentia's headmaster. As its name implied, the headmaster looked like an intelligent person wearing a monocle, and his black hair was combed back tidily. A secretary-looking woman was wearing glasses, and her brown hair was tied in a bun standing behind him. She was holding a notebook.

Then there was Humanitas Academy's headmistress. She looked like a kind woman wearing a modest green dress. Her long dark green hair was tied in a braid, and a man with dark hair and a white sideburn accompanied her. Both of them looked rather modest in terms of appearance.

If I remember correctly, most commoners went to Humanitas Academy because it was the easiest. However, that didn't mean that no one in Humanitas Academy was talented. In fact, the middle-aged man sitting beside the Humanitas headmistress was the strongest person beside Alesia and me in this hall.

Then there was Patientia Academy's headmaster. The balcony he used was covered in gaudy decorations that made me look at Alesia.I think you should take a look at

'What the hell is that?' I asked with a side glance.

"They decorate it themselves." She replied without moving her gaze from the arena.

"Are they trying to show off?"

"Isn't that natural?" Alesia turned to me with a 'Are you joking' look. She couldn't understand why I asked that, and she continued. "They are filled with nobles. And that new headmas– the blond pig who just sat in his seat a year ago said they are better than us and proposed this joint tournament."

So that was why Alesia was bent on winning this time, more than ever. It was because that pig was getting his status on his head and provoked her. She even corrected the way she called him the blond pig.

Once again, I looked at the obese headmaster, who wore a gaudy blue suit and gold accessories. He was sitting on a red sofa even though the others were sitting on a red chair, which was already good enough for a noble.

Also, unlike the others who brought their secretary or their Vice-head. But that pig brought three maids with him to serve him red wine and snacks. His smile was also disgusting as he looked over the other headmistress.

'Now I understand why Sana and Alesia wear something that covers their skin.' I nodded in understanding as the pig, Patientia Academy's headmaster, looked at me with a rather strange smile.

My body shuddered as I broke my eye contact with him to turn at Alesia.

"So why am I here?" I asked, "I need to join the preliminary for the close-range tournament, no?"

"You don't need to join the preliminary. One slot is reserved for you to pass to the final already. Every headmaster agrees to let you pass to the final without joining the preliminary."

"Why?" I asked once again with a confused tone.

"It's because our Virtue Royal Academy is the best," Alesia replied with a proud smile.

"And the real reason is?" I pressed, narrowing my eyes because I knew that wasn't the real reason.

"Patientia Academy's headmaster raised a topic not to let you join the tournament because it would be unfair. But Archbishop Sana and I defended that you are still a student and thus allowed to join the tournament. And after a long discussion, we just decided to let you enter the final so you don't target other students in the royale. "It's reasonable because it will be unfair if my Royal Academy gets all 20 slots because you only knock other academies' students in the preliminary. It's a shame, though. I want to see all my students enter the final." The headmistress let out a long sigh because she had lost the chance to show off.

"Hahaha…" I only laughed and looked at Sana.

I knew it was her true nature to want her academy to be the best. However, it wasn't wrong that I planned to knock everyone out in the preliminary. Yes, everyone, including the students of the Royal Academy too.

"I guess that's truly a shame," I said, turning my attention to the host who entered the arena holding a microphone magic item.

"Yes, it is." Alesia nodded in agreement without knowing what I thought.

The host stood in the middle of the arena and looked up. Taking a deep breath, he then shouted.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Are you ready for the first Annual Tournament of the six Academies?! If so, raise your voice!!"

The hall immediately was filled with shouts full of excitement from the crowd. The host looked satisfied as he lowered his hand that he put around his ear.

"Alright!" He shouted, full of energy. "Without further ado, I announce that the Annual Tournament of the Six Academies is officially starting!"

Report chapter Comments

Every participant of the close-range division gathered in the middle of the arena. The total number of participants easily exceeded 200 students, as everyone had the same right to join without any limitation.

It was possible for the arena to hold such an amount of students because Alesia had used her Space Magic to widen it.

I could see a lot of Temperantia Academy's students among the participants. They made up at least half of the participants themselves.

Because of the tournament's format, no one wore armor and only wore the training suit prepared specially for this tournament. It was black in color with golden lines, which apparently were designed by Emilia, that emphasized the participant's body contour.

In fact, I also wore a similar training suit underneath my academy uniform.

They held various weapons, such as a spear, a sword, a mace, an axe, and even a pole made from a mixture of ironwood. They were lethal but couldn't be used to kill people at once. The nuns and priests from Castitas Church stood by to heal every participant here.

And even if they accidentally got killed, they would also revive a few hours after the tournament ended.

For some reason, the students from Patientia Academy had prideful looks and confidence spread across themselves. When I observed them, they wore things like rings, bracelets, earrings, and other small accessories.

"They arm themselves with magic items," I muttered, narrowing my eyes at Alesia. "Is that allowed?"

"Yes." Alesia nodded slightly. "It's illogical, but people believe that the ability to obtain magic items is part of the student's capability. Thus, as long as that magic item is obtained from their 'adventure outside the Academy City,' they are able to use it in this tournament."

"Who made such rules?" I asked her while having a guess in my mind.

"It's that pig."

'As expected.' I sneered and looked down at the arena again.

Above the arena was a crystal ball.

This was the magic item used to record the tournament and connected to another crystal ball in the plaza and some places of the Academy City and stream the fight in real-time. So people who were unlucky enough and didn't get the tickets could watch the tournament.

And at the end of the hall, above the spectator seats, was a board that would show the name of who was eligible to enter the final and the academy they represented beside their name. Each side had names for different divisions.

Currently, all of them were blank, with only numbers up to 20, except for the general study division, which only had three numbers, and for the close-range weapon division, there was already a name written on it. It was my name with a crown beside it.

'I guess that crown is for me to pass without needing to pass the preliminary.'

As I thought that, the host moved to the platform near the spectators' seats.

"Alright!" He shouted loudly into the microphone, bringing excitement to the hall. "Let the preliminary of close-range weapons begin! Survive and move to the next stage, students!"

"Three!"

The countdown started.

"Two! One!"

Everyone joined in shouting the countdown and raised their hands. With smiles on their faces, they all screamed together.

"Begin!"

The participants raised their weapons, and the battle royale began with the sound of metal clanging against each other. They shouted their skills, activating some beginner Sword Slash or Sword Edge.

Watching them was the same as watching kids trying to swig their weapons. The students from Temperantia weren't so bad. They formed a group and defended their position in the ring's corner. They knew that as long as they could still move, they wouldn't be eliminated and teleported away by Alesia.I think you should take a look at

And those from Patientia had better physical abilities due to the magic items they wore. I bet those magic items were from their families that they hid in the forest and the students found 'accidentally' when they were exploring.

Well, it wasn't like I was there to destroy them all at once.

Not surprisingly, the students from Castitas Academy got eliminated first. More often than not, the ones who aimed to be church knights attended Temperantia Academy because they had better education to raise knights.

The battle continued in chaos. Those who couldn't fight anymore automatically teleported away. Their clothes were designed to trigger the teleportation magic Alesia set up within the barrier in this hall.

"Arrghh!"

"Die!"

Some unpleasant shouts came from the arena. One by one, students retreated and teleported away with a blue light. Space Magic was truly convenient. I wanted to learn it, but it was impossible.

Anyway, the fight was so boring that it made me sleepy and yawned. The Temperantia Academy's headmaster also yawned in boredom, not even caring if his students passed or not. No, he was confident that at least some of his students would proceed to the final.

As for Alesia…

"…"

She didn't say anything. The Virtue Royal Academy's students were eliminated one by one. I noticed a familiar face belonged to Oliver there, and he managed to hold on by joining forces with 6 Temperantia Academy students and holding a shield in the corner.

'So he also joined this tournament. He's holding on well.' My lips curled up slightly as my gaze went over to the spectator seats. There, Karin was sitting with Eliza, cheering for her fiance. 'The magic division tournament and the general study will be held tomorrow, so Eliza has time to watch.'

My childhood friend somewhat looked a bit disappointed as she looked over my way for a second.

Only 23 participants were in the arena. And the number of those from the Virtue Royal Academy was… one. Temperantia still had six students left, who joined forces with Oliver. The others were from Patientia Academy with their overpowered gears because of the bad rules proposed by that pig.

Because the defense of the joined force couldn't be broken, the Patientia students fought each other. Some hated each other, so it was natural they fought among themselves. The preliminary ended with 19 final students left.

"I should give my students magic items," Alesia muttered with anger mixed in her tone. But then, she sighed and looked at me expressionlessly. "Do you need a magic item to win?"

"Hahaha, are you joking, headmistress?" I laughed because her humor was really good. "Do you think I will need any to beat all of them?"

"I just want to show off my magic item collection to that pig." The headmistress replied with a small smile. "They look so proud because they have 11 students entering the final with the help of magic items. How irritating."

"Well, they're just lucky." I shrugged my shoulders. "How will the participants of the final be put against each other? Is it random?"

"Yes. That board will choose the opponent" Alesia nodded, pointing to the board for a close-range division that was now filled with names.

Oliver and Temperantia Academy students somehow were placed on the 13 to 20th rank.

"They will be divided into groups A and B before the opponent is decided."

"I see." I nodded in understanding. "Well, that board is a magic item, "I made it two hundred years ago," Alesia replied without changing her expression, but there was pride mixed in her tone. "Because it was old, it might have an error and put Patientia Academy students against a certain person. But I am sure that it's still random, so there is no problem." Her lips curled up in a rare grin.

I knew what she meant and smiled softly, "Maintaining a magic item is hard, after all."

Nodding in understanding, Alesia didn't say anything and just looked over the arena. Everyone had left already, and it was now being constructed into an archery range for the long-range division tournament.

Report chapter Comments

Some canon-like objects were placed at the end of the arena. Those were magic items that could shoot small targets into the sky at a certain interval. For the record, Alesia also made them for the Royal Academy's Annual Tournament.

After ten canons were placed in place, the host began to announce the start of the long-range division and called 24 students at once. Unlike the short-range, it wasn't in a battle royale format and was more of a score battle and would take longer time.

10 canons and 24 students, 4 from each academy in a batch; those who got the most targets after a certain time would win.

The format of the tournament was worse than the short-range tournament because if there were at least 2 skilled opponents in one place, they would have a lower chance of advancing to the final.

And when the first batch entered, I couldn't help but widen my eyes at the sight of someone really familiar. She was wearing black clothes for the tournament, and her hair was tied into a high ponytail, but there was no doubt it was her.

'What the heck is Tristan doing over there?!'

I looked at Sana, and she was giggling. Of course, the church also wanted some recognition. That was why they asked Tristan to join. Did that mean Tristan also went to school again but in the Castitas Academy?

With a dry chuckle, I spoke to Alesia.

ƥandasnovel·ƈom "Headmistress, maybe you won't be able to get the perfect win you wanted with my girlfriend down there."

"I am aware. I can't use Appraisal on her, but I never thought the church would install her as a student to win." She replied with a rather frustrated tone. "But no worries. 3 wins are enough for me. The Royal Academy will still be the best one in the Virtue Kingdom."

Her confidence and her trust in her students were really great. I hoped Eliza wouldn't be burdened with that expectation.

Lunch break had arrived.

I left Alesia and went to meet Eliza and Karin.

At first, I wanted to invite Tristan too, but she was nowhere to be found. She was probably still in the waiting room for the tournament participant, as the long-range division hadn't ended yet.

Half the participants were still left, but I didn't intend to stay as the winner was already clear.

No one in the first group was able to hit anything. Yes, Tristan destroyed them completely and only left one target in the end because she felt generous. Everyone was speechless by her display, and when her name was written on the board with the academy she represented, all gaze landed on Sana at once.

Every student in the Castitas Church would become a part of the church with no exception. That was why the citizens felt relieved because the church had someone strong. At least they could protect them if needed, so their trust in the church increased.

"Arthur! Over here!"

When I reached the garden outside the hall, where many people gathered around a row of stalls that sold food, I heard Eliza's voice from a distance. She was sitting with Karin around a round table with a parasol to keep them cool. There was a basket full of food on the table.

Vivian somehow also joined and sat beside Eliza, wearing a long white dress. She smiled softly at me while holding her cheek. She probably had just arrived.

'She's here to bring us lunch, huh? Probably she wants to check on Eliza and me too.' I thought as I smiled at them.

Their location was one reserved for nobles to have lunch with their family. To sit around the table, one must pay 50 Golds or so if I remember correctly from the rules of the Annual Tournaments.

As for the commoners, there was no need to worry. There were a lot of benches around the area. And because of the tall trees and dense leaves, many places had shade to cool themselves.

Approaching them, I sat on the chair beside Eliza.I think you should take a look at

"Good afternoon, Madam. Did you bring lunch for us?"

"Yes," Vivian replied with a bright smile. "I helped Linda and Milea to make them. Fufufu, your servant, Milea, is quite skilled in cooking. I need to learn a lot if I want to make it as good as hers. Even so, I want to cook for my dear child on their special day."

"Mam– Mother! My tournament is tomorrow. And today, Arthur didn't even fight and pass the preliminary without moving a finger!" Eliza raised her voice. She changed the way she called Vivian because Karin was with us.

"My, I did say 'my child,' no? Isn't Arthur also one?" Madam Vivian said in a troubled tone, rendering Eliza speechless.

Karin didn't notice anything amiss from Vivian's words as she knew that I was Eliza's boyfriend.

However, I noticed something from her words.

'It seems that she made up her mind since that night. That's why she told me to call her Mommy. It's a bit funny.' I thought.

I smiled and watched Vivian open the woven basket, pulling the checkered clothes covering it away. Inside were various simple dishes, such as sandwiches filled with meat, vegetables, and eggs. There was also simple toast with just butter.

Then there were also side dishes and snacks.

Overall, the food inside the basket was what people usually ate when they went on a picnic or an event. This was a really nostalgic and great choice of food.

"Fufufu, it's just a simple dish. I hope you don't mind, Miss Greenway."

"Not at all, Ma'am. This is truly fantastic and looks great." Karin replied in a polite tone and with a small smile. She looked like a noble lady right now. Well, she was one.

Vivian gently put a plate in front of us. Because this was an event organized by the Academies, even the nobles only brought one or two servants with them. Some lower-ranked ones didn't even bring their servants and chose to eat with their children in peace.

Everyone had food of their choosing on their plates. I chose the sandwich with meat while the girls took the plain butter toast.

'Why do they choose such a bland choice?'

I didn't really think much because it was their choice. Our lunch was peaceful like the others; Vivian also brought a tea set hidden beneath the food. As expected from her. This Madam couldn't survive if she missed her tea time.

With an elegant movement, she helped us to pour the tea into our cups. Karin looked a bit baffled by Vivian's elegant movement and was fascinated, while Eliza looked smug and proud of her mother.

If only my childhood friend had inherited a bit of Vivian's gentleness and elegance, that would be perfect. Unfortunately, she only inherited her mother's dishonest feelings.

And with a gentle wind that accompanied the change of the season to summer and laughter from afar, I was enjoying my time at the moment.

Our lunch was perfect with that. It was supposed to.

"Oh? Isn't that the flower of society? It's nice to meet you. I have wanted to meet you since I heard you divorced your husband, hehe. Madam Claydall, what do you say about drinking with me, Earl Issac Lawrence, and letting the students socialize? We, adults, can socialize over red wine."

Crack!

Yes, if only a certain blond pig didn't suddenly call out to Vivian. I even cracked the cup I held out of surprise by his loud voice from behind me.

Report chapter Comments

According to my first impression, this pig called Earl Isaac Lawrence, whose name was somewhat cool, would try his best to suck up to someone of higher standing and got cocky in front of commoners or those of lower standing than him.

That meant he would usually be humble in front of me, whose social position was higher than his. Or better yet, he wouldn't even try to get close to me because he didn't want to act humble.

Due to Earl Lawrence approaching from behind me, he probably thought that I was either Eliza or Karin's friend who accompanied them. I was wearing my Royal Academy uniform then, and some male students around this garden also had blond hair. So it was easy to mistake me for a normal student.

He probably approached to chat with Vivian, who was famous as the flower of society, without thinking that I, the Paladin, was in this place.

'From his perspective, it's probably strange for me to eat here and not join Sana in the VIP area in the hall.'

I even doubted that the pig knew about my relationship with Eliza and Madam Vivian.

"How is it, Madam? Let's let the students interact among themselves. I brought a 60-year-old Lima Red Wine with me. This is the highest grade available out there and is extremely rare."

The Madam looked a bit troubled as the Earl pressed and approached Vivian with his two maids trailing behind. The pig still didn't look at me, and Eliza glanced worriedly in my direction because she noticed that my tea was spilling from the crack I had made earlier.

"Um…" Vivian opened her mouth, glancing at me before looking at the pig, which smiled disgustingly. "I–"

Tak!

"We're enjoying the tea, Earl Lawrence. Why don't you send her an invitation letter if you want to have a chat and drink with her?"

"Hmm?"

Before Vivian could answer the Earl, I interjected while putting my cup on the table. When the pig saw me, his eyes widened slightly as he took a few steps away from our table after realizing who I was.

"Coincidentally, Madam Vivian is currently living in my mansion because I am dating her daughter. I will also tag along with her as her escort, as that's my duty as the only man in the house." I smiled at him warmly, and his expression worsened, "I will be waiting for your party invitation."

"A-Aah… Isn't this Sir Paladin? Hahaha, I will do that. I am sorry for disturbing your time; please allow me to leave. I just remembered that I need to praise the students for advancing the close-range division. Please go easy on them if you meet them in the final, Your Holiness."

Earl Lawrence rubbed his hands together as he tried to please me while taking steps back. His expression made it clear that he wanted to leave this place quickly but didn't dare to because I didn't bid him farewell yet.

"They worked hard." I nodded at him, "Please tell them that I am looking forward to seeing them in the final. Oh, and please don't worry, I won't use any magic item on me. Hahaha, I am quite busy and can't 'find' any of them outside the Academy City."

"O-Of course. Please excuse me, then. I hope you have a nice day."

We watched the Earl leave with his maids without saying anything else. As I said before, he became humble when he saw someone with a higher position than him. A person like him was someone who could survive in this world.

'Maybe I can use him in the future.' I thought as I turned to Vivian, smiling warmly at her.

"Madam, if you are bothered by other people like that again, just tell them my name. Most of them will stop bothering you." I said.

"Fufufu, thank you for your help," Vivian replied with a giggle. Her expression returned to normal, and Eliza sighed in relief.

"Ma– Mother, you should just say no clearly to a guy like that!" She made a slapping motion on her upper arm. The sound of slapping resounded, gaining a bit of attention from the surrounding people. However, Eliza smiled widely and continued, "And if you got in trouble, just call Arthur."I think you should take a look at

'This girl really learned from trouble.' I smiled bitterly as I looked at Eliza.

The same thing happened to her, and a noble family was destroyed as a result… I would be happy if they asked for my help instead of getting scared and threatened by the others. That way, I could protect them without causing much trouble.

We continued having lunch until the tournament continued. Vivian actually had a ticket to enter, so she tagged along with Eliza and Karin while I went to my VIP seat on the balcony beside Alesia.

In the attic of a Royal Castle filled with miscellaneous things. A corner of the attic was somehow clean, without any dirt or clothes covering unused and broken furniture.

A purple-colored curtain hid a luxurious bed.

This place wasn't often visited and was used as storage. The location was the tower where the Queen lived, just above the bedroom. Sitting on the bed was a young girl, appearing around 14 to 15 years old, wearing rather erotic clothes that only covered her private area. She was trying to tie her long hair into a ponytail using a black ribbon.

This girl was Beatrice. And he was here on the order of Arthur to spread rumors and make the Queen have a falling out with the King and her daughter.

So far, the plan was going on nicely.

"Lala la~ Just two more days~ All going nicely."

Getting off the bed, Beatrice went to the full body mirror beside it and posed, putting her hand on her hips and sticking out her tongue. Her bat wings were spread wide, and her tail made a heart shape.

"Yes, perfect!" She exclaimed, looking at her crotch area. "I am not wet either. Fufufu, I can hold back quite nicely now. Thankfully, there is no man in this area, or I will begin to miss Master's touch."

Flicking her hair back, Beatrice turned around and went down the stairs leading to the Queen's bedroom. After all her effort, she had made direct contact with her and was allowed to enter and exit anytime she wanted.

But she couldn't be found by anyone else because her Race wasn't exactly welcomed.

'Let's influence the Queen a little bit more so Master can rest easy. I want him to reward me more and embrace me for at least a week!'

Without her noticing, Beatrice had also fallen in love deeply with Arthur due to her being dominated. She lived by listening to his order, like an obedient slave she was.

Pushing a small door, she sneaked into the Queen bedroom as usual and looked around. She found her target on the balcony, still dressed in a transparent black nightgown.

She was the Queen of this Kingdom, King Cassius' wife, as well as the second flower of the society who never showed up except at the King's Banquet, Queen Eve Humilitas.

Queen Eve's appearance was beautiful. Her body was slender with modest breasts, and she looked in her late 29 with wavy light blue hair. She was sitting there, looking in the distance, while drinking iced tea.

Sensing someone entering her room, she turned around. When she saw the young girl with purple hair, she smiled softly, and her red lips moved.

"Hello, Miss Succubus. Do you have any news for me?" She asked in a soft voice.

Report chapter Comments

"Hello, Queen Eve." Beatrice greeted her back and sat on the chair opposite from the Queen, leaning her elbow on the chair. "Nothing except for what I told you back then. The Princess cooperates with a Vampire and tries to kidnap the King. The rumor was true, and I was almost killed if you didn't help me!"

Secretly, a pink fog was released from Beatrice's body. She couldn't use the skill she used to charm that red-haired beast girl from the Border City, which Nina was currently training to be an obedient girl. That would only lead the Queen to suspect her.

So she used another skill, derived from Lvl 6 Charm Magic named Soothing Aroma, which made the target in the 5 meters area trust her easier. The effect wasn't strong, and needed time for them to be affected, but Beatrice had all she needed in the world.

Since she arrived in this place, she made sure she didn't affect the Queen too much and used the skill each night. Only on the fifth day and when the Queen was uneasy from the rumor, did she appear battered

Of course, with a fabricated story that she had prepared.

"You told me that already." The Queen nodded with a sad expression, heaving a sigh. "I believe in you because you suddenly became younger and smaller. Poor you."

Averting her gaze that was filled with sadness and disappointment, the Queen looked at the Capital City.

"I really hope the rumor is false. As a mother, I still love my daughter. But as a Queen and a wife, I can't help but be disappointed and angry that Carissa has such a plan to the point she involves the Vampire from an Underground City."

ƥandasnovel·ƈom "Me too." Beatrice nodded, putting up an innocent and sad expression.

"I just hid in the Underground City to live nicely. But because I was driven out after I accidentally saw Princess colluding with some people there, I was kicked out and was forced to come here. When I heard the rumor, I thought it was my last hope and appeared in front of you a few days ago, Your Majesty."

With a carefully crafted story, her kindness, and the fact that she had fallen to Beatrice's skill, the Queen nodded in agreement. She had subdued the rumor about the Princess around the Royal Castle before the King could even hear it.

However, some nobles heard it and began to push the first Prince to take the throne in the future instead of the Princess. The King's position in the political scene was also disturbed. In fact, it was lower than the Queen, who could handle the situation faster.

"I am very worried about the future." The Queen sighed once again and continued enjoying the iced tea.

Beatrice reassured her that she would support her as long as possible. But inside, she had a different opinion.

'Fufufu, maybe having sex with Master and Eve together will be good. Yes. I don't know whether Master wants to get Eve with that meaning or just get her to his side, but I am more inclined if she enjoys sex with Master. I've taken a liking to her as a human. She's intelligent.'

If the Queen lowered her guard or were just a bit stupid, Beatrice wouldn't need to wait a few days before her skill took effect.

'Giving a Queen to Master. Yes, that will make him very happy! I should probably influence her in that direction slowly but still maintain her personality and quick thinking. It will be hard, but I can do it.'

There was nothing a primordial Succubus couldn't do when it was related to making people fall into their lust. She had many skills in her storage.

But her Master didn't like force or using drugs. So brainwashing the Queen slowly with sweet words was the only thing she could do.

'Fufufufu.'

Brr!

Somehow, I felt a chill sent down my spine as the host announced the end of the tournament, and the civilians began to disperse.

What happened? Was there someone talking about me?

"8 students. Not bad." Alesia muttered with a proud expression as she looked at the board for the long-range division. "Compared to 2 from close-range division, we did pretty well in long-range one. We almost dominate half of the chart." She continued, her tone contained happiness.

While knowing that we couldn't get the 1st place due to Tristan participating, it seemed like Alesia still didn't give up on getting at least the 2nd to 9th position for the Royal Academy. It was possible in the long-range division because the final was just endurance on how many targets they could shoot in a row.

We should look at the bright light instead of thinking we couldn't win.

The headmasters from various Academies also left shortly after, including Alesia and me. We walked down the corridor to go to her office because she needed to talk to me about something.

As we walked, she suddenly spoke.I think you should take a look at

"So, I watched that pig trying to hit my student, Vivian, when it was lunch. What did you feel about that?"

"What did I feel?" I asked, looking at Alesia curiously as I couldn't understand what she meant.

She looked back at me with a clear gaze and blurted out, "You knock her up, no? Together with her daughter until morning."

I stopped on my track for a second before continuing to walk. Could it be that she was watching? No, that wasn't possible because I couldn't feel it.

Unlike when I had sex with Emilia in the Academy, Alesia's turf, where she could put any magic items to spy on us, I had sex with Vivian in my own mansion, complete with a barrier. And I ensured that my room had no hidden magic item or something similar.

Sighing, I gave up and asked, "How did you know?"

"Your personality." She replied almost immediately. This woman was truly frank and honest. "Just kidding." She added with a playful smile.

'… I don't really get her.' I thought as I looked at her, observing her expression to find out what she was actually thinking.

"Teacher Emilia told me. I threa– asked her nicely to report everything to me related to her sex life. It was a punishment for having sex in my Academy."

'She was about to say threaten, wasn't she?' I mused in my mind, deciding to ignore it.

"Why?" I asked curiously.

That punishment was… really strange. Actually, I couldn't say anything because I also punished Milea and ordered her to wear a rotor and anal beads while we were walking in public.

"I am curious."

That was Alesia's answer before we reached a quiet place. She snapped her fingers and teleported us to the headmistress' office room.

Taking off her robe, Alesia sat on the couch across from me and crossed her legs.

"Let's talk about the tournament and forget the matter from before." She started, watching me sit down on the couch. "What do you plan to do with the Patientia Academy's students in the final?"

I smiled warmly at her, devoid of any malice. If the believers of Goddess Teri saw my smile, they would definitely say that I was truly the Goddess' apostle and that I was her blessed. Or they would say that I had a radiant smile and any other things related to holy.

However, my gesture of slicing my neck with my thumb wasn't radiant at all. Instead, it contained the malice and disgust I held back when that pig came closer earlier.

'I can take advantage of that pig and make him loyal to me. But first…'

"Show their place and kill them all," I answered in the most cheerful tone I could muster. "The final of the close-range division will be a bloodbath."

"As expected." Alesia nodded without any ounce of surprise. Then she tapped her fingers against her thigh and continued.

"It seems the board has a bit of malfunction. Coincidentally, you and the other student, Oliver, will not meet until the last fight. Your opponent would be those from Patientia and the winner between Patientia vs Temperantia students.

"How unexpected. It has never happened before. Oh, that's because the malfunction didn't really affect a local tournament."

'This woman can hold a grudge.' I thought as I clasped my hands, looking a bit troubled.

"I hope it can be fixed soon. The board, I mean."

"Me too." The headmistress nodded along with me.

After that, we continued to talk about tomorrow's tournament.

Report chapter Comments

I returned to my mansion at night.

The detail of my discussion with Alesia wasn't really that important. We just talked about the possibility of Eliza doing badly in the tournament.

For the magic tournament, it seemed like Eliza had a high chance of winning, according to the headmistress, because she helped Emilia teach her in her spare time. And Eliza had been given a special pass not to attend class to focus on the tournament for the last few days.

It was the general study that she was worried about. There was no preliminary for both competitions, and the winner would become clear in just a day. Students from the Diligentia Academy were smart. They aimed to be scholars and spent almost all their time studying.

While only two students managed to pass the long-range division, they were expected to dominate the general study division. No one doubted that.

"I am back."

Arriving at my mansion, I greeted the twins, who stood near the gate before they could say anything. I beat them in saying the greeting.

They giggled slightly before doing their usual greeting.

"Welcome back, Your Holiness."

"Madam Vivian and Miss Eliza are currently sleeping in their room because Miss Eliza requested to. She said she wanted to rest for tomorrow's tournament."

The older one, Lara, spoke first, and afterward, Lisa told me about the situation in the house. They really were professional about such a thing.

"Good job." I nodded, stepping into my garden. They closed the gate and followed me from behind.

As I walked to the mansion, I decided to ask something, "Do you know where Sandra is?"

"I believe she's in the kitchen, Your Holiness," Lisa replied immediately.

"I see. Thank you." I said.

The twin nuns walked toward the door first and opened it for me. As I passed them, they bowed deeply and closed it. So Sandra was in the kitchen. That was perfect.

Having dinner in the dining hall alone would be lonely. If the assassin was eating bread in the kitchen, I might as well have dinner in that place too. I knew it didn't fit my status, but no one would say anything to me.

From my discussion with Alesia earlier, there was something I needed to investigate a little. It was mainly about Earl Lawrence.

'The magic items used by the students from Patientia Academy are just too many, and the effect is too good. Usually, magic items that could increase stats needed a Level requirement to be used, but they are all only around Level 13 to Level 16.

That was something Alesia noticed, but I didn't. She was more observant than me when it came to magic and magic-related items.

According to her, someone could probably make such magic items in the Patientia Academy. Whoever it was, that person was talented, and Alesia wanted to recruit them.

When it came to poaching talented individuals, it seemed like the headmistress was still so motivated. She even told me that she was willing to pay whoever it was double the price as long as they came to the Royal Academy.

'I will reward my dark Elf if she can find that person or bring useful info about those magic items.'

Pushing the kitchen door open, I first saw Sandra stuffing her mouth with bread in both hands. Not only that, there was a mountain pile of soft bread in front of her.

Noticing me entering, her red eyes looked at me and blinked curiously, "Mwaster?"

"Munch and swallow the bread in your mouth first. Take it easy."

Sandra took it easy and munched the beard in her mouth like a small animal. Then when she swallowed it, she bit the one in her hands in one go.

"…"

I did say to take it easy and swallow it, but I didn't say to eat everything in her hand. Before long, they were gone, and she got off her chair, kneeling in front of me. Some breadcrumbs stuck around the edge of her lips, and she licked it.I think you should take a look at

"Gulp… Do you need me for something, Master?"

"Yes. Sit on your chair again. You can eat the bread while listening." I said, going on to the chair opposite Sandra earlier.

The dark Elf also nodded and went to her chair, taking two loaves of bread from the pile and began to munch them like a hamster. Her red eyes looked between me and the bread with a predatory gaze.

Sighing, I smiled at her rather cute gesture, "I won't take your bread. Don't worry about it."

Saying so, I took out my own meal. It was the sandwich Vivian made this afternoon. There were still two left, so I put them in my inventory.

When I bit into it, Sandra looked at me with saliva dripping from the corner of her lips. She immediately wiped it with the back of her hand, but she stopped eating her bread and looked at the sandwich in my hand.

'Right, a sandwich has two loaves of bread and meat between them…' I chuckled as I understood why her gaze was planted on the sandwich.

So I took out the second one and gave it to Sandra.

"Here. There is meat inside it."

With a bright smile, Sandra took the sandwich in my hand, "Thank you, Master. I can eat meat."

Then with a wide mouth, she bit the sandwich. Her expression brightened instantly as her long ears flapped around in happiness.

"Is it good?"

"Hnn!" Sandra nodded firmly.

"Alright, I will tell you about your mission. If you finish this or get a clue, I will give you something you want."

"Then, can I get 10 of this?!" Sandra's face lit up, and her eyes sparkled like a star.

This glutton only thought of food as usual, but I didn't blame her. She was like this, and it was fine. I even hoped she would become a little bit selfish and ask something else. Something bigger.

"I will ask Milea to make 50 of these." I smiled at her, and she threw the last bit of the sandwich into her mouth.

Sandra turned serious as she gulped the sandwich, "I will bet my life to finish this mission, Master. Please just give me your order. This humble assassin will finish it."

When I heard her say that, I couldn't help but get worried. What if someone else tempted her with more delicious bread? Though I didn't need to worry as I had dominated her.

"I want you to investigate something in Patientia Academy. I don't know whether it's a teacher or a student. There is someone who can make good magic items. Just collect information about that person and tell me about it regularly until you find the person who made the magic items."

"Is there any clue beforehand?" Sandra asked, "Such as what kind of magic items are used."

"It's the one that the students of the Patientia Academy used in their tournament earlier. If you watch the magic tournament tomorrow, I am certain that they will use it again." I replied with a serious face.

"I see. That's enough, Master. This Sandra will meet your expectations and get that 50 sandwiches!"

"It's good that you are motivated, but don't force yourself. You can return to the mansion at night to rest if needed."

"Yes, Master! Just leave it to me! For the sandwiches!" She imitated the church knight salute. "I mean, your wish is my command, Master!"

That was cute, especially since she held a loaf of bread in her hand when she did that.

Afterward, I gave her the details of what I wanted and how I wanted the information delivered to me in the arena hall at Royal Academy if she found something in advance. It would be perfect if I had another pair of [Earring of Communication, but I forgot to buy it.

'I will ask Alesia tomorrow. And I need to ask Milea to make Sandra her sandwiches.'

Sandra departed immediately that night, and I went to sleep alone.

I especially asked everyone that I didn't have any plan to have sex for the duration of the tournament. They respected my wish and didn't visit my room. I also told them to rest easy around this time, especially Garcia and Cecil. The former had a hard time holding back, so I allowed her to masturbate in her own room and only to call me if that didn't work. The latter wasn't really affected and only hummed.

I wanted to focus on my plan first and didn't want to be bothered. Not only that, I had a promise to Beatrice to sleep with her for 3 days straight. I needed to get ready for that, as that would probably turn into a big orgy with all my lovers.

'That time, I will also introduce that slave to everyone else.'

The next day, I accompanied Eliza, who became a bit nervous.

It was early in the morning. The sun hadn't appeared yet on the horizon, and the sky was still dark. A cold wind blew, hitting us.

"I-It's really cold," Eliza muttered as she rubbed her upper arms. Her hair fluttered from the wind, dancing in the air.

"Do you want me to warm you with a hug?"

"S-Stupid! We aren't in the mansion!"

"So if we are home, then it's okay." I teased with a playful smile, and her face reddened slightly.

We were walking toward the academy while joking because preparation for her tournament started in a few hours. While she said she would be okay walking by herself, I wanted to do something before she began. At least with this, she wouldn't be as nervous.

Her stiff movement loosened a little after she got embarrassed. Still rubbing her upper arms, Eliza got closer to me. Even if she said no, she still wanted to be close and feel my warmth.

"Ugh… When I was there yesterday, I didn't feel nervous like this. How can you be so calm all the time, Arthur?" She looked at me with her bright blue eyes. They were filled with curiosity and worry.

'How to stay calm, huh?' I touched my chin and fell into a thought. It reminded me of the past.

I wasn't calm at all. In fact, I was easily worried and overthink it.

Only when my former comrades all died, I changed and didn't even think of anything. I felt stupid thinking about every single thing and got nervous over it.

"Maybe don't think about it," I replied as I looked into her eyes.

"No one except me and Alesia expected you to win. Don't think about the competition but the result. If you go out there and destroy everyone like Tristan did yesterday, won't it feel good? Standing on the top will make you see something you have never seen before."

"But I am afraid of heights." Eliza retorted while pouting.

'This girl…'

I was about to say something more, but she suddenly giggled playfully. She lowered her hands, putting them behind her back and straightening her posture.

"I was just joking. I wasn't as afraid as before." She said, smiling brightly at me.

At this time, the sun rose from the horizon, lighting the world with its soft and warm light. Eliza's smile looked brighter with the ray of the sun behind her as she stopped on her track.

"Thanks, Arthur. I feel better."

"You're welcome," I smiled back at her and extended my hand. "Let's go?"I think you should take a look at

"Un!" Eliza replied energetically and took my hand. And we continued our walk toward the academy.

After seeing Eliza off to her waiting room, I sat beside Alesia on the VIP balcony. The headmistress looked at me with a soft smile when I sat down.

"You seem to be in a good mood."

"Am I?" I replied with a bit of a joking tone, "Maybe because my lovely childhood friend is growing. It's nice to see her go from being dishonest to a cute and confident girl. It's thanks to Emilia and Virtue Royal Academy, I guess."

While the last part was unnecessary, I still decided to say it to make Alesia's mood brightened.

Just as I expected, her smile widened slightly after I praised the teacher she chose and the academy.

"Of course. My academy didn't just teach knowledge and strength but also mental development."

"I believe you," I said in a sarcastic tone.

Alesia noticed my sarcasm and narrowed her eyes slightly, "If you give me time, I can reform them too."

"Whatever you say, headmistress." I shrugged my shoulders and heaved a sigh. "The general study division is so boring that no one besides a few spectators and the headmasters watches it. But… it seems like she's doing well."

I looked over the projection from the magic item that showed the venue for the general study. It was different from this one. The participants were in different classrooms in the main building, and there was an observer in each room.

Alesia's eyes also glowed, a sign that she used her skill to observe them too. No one could ever hide anything from the headmistress as long as they were in the vicinity of the Royal Academy.

Before long, many students submitted their papers to the observer and left the room. Most of them were those who also participated in the magic division, so they needed time to prepare and move to the arena hall.

Eliza also finished and submitted the paper with a bright smile on her face. She probably knew that we could see her and made a double peace sign. She looked innocent, and Vivian, who sat on the spectator seat with Karin, clapped her hands proudly. I didn't even notice she was already here.

"She's doing well," Alesia said with a sneer.

The headmistress' rare smug expression just told me what I needed to know. Eliza was doing well and would win!

'She did it.' I smiled in happiness. But I wouldn't tell her yet. The result would come after the magic division test.

"Next is the magic division. What do you think she will do?" I asked the headmistress who oversaw Eliza's training.

"She's good," Alesia spoke shortly and stood up. "I need to prepare the arena personally. Teacher Emilia is in the nearby room to help me observe. I need to warn you. Don't have sex on the balcony, got it?"

"What do you think I am?"

"Girls Collector." She replied and exited the balcony room, closing the door behind her.

I chuckled at her answer and turned to the arena. Alesia just exited the room to teleport in the middle of it and changed the arena with a magic item she took out from within her black robe, a spherical purple gem. When it glowed, the arena moved, and the ground rose to divide it into five.

The headmistress probably just used that magic item as a cover. Its effect probably only increased her control and made it easier to use magic. Her skills, and , were the ones that moved the arena and changed its shape.

"As expected from Elf Mage. She's skillful but still shrewd and careful. She doesn't want her real skill to be known and only shows enough strength to make the others respect her."

Report chapter Comments

After changing the arena, Alesia didn't return to the balcony. Instead, she made a platform at the corner of the arena and stood there like an observer.

She was there to judge the mana control of the participant and grade them.

Not only her, but it seemed like the headmistress from Humanitas Academy also went to the arena to help her judge. So that lady was also proficient enough with Magic that she could feel Mana ripple?

"She's stronger than I thought. Are people from Humanitas Academy secretly all strong and keeping a low-profile?"

That was truly a novel plot. An Academy that commoners attended was actually the strongest out of all academies. But something like that was impossible.

'They only have 3 students who passed the long-range division. It's not a lot, just average. But that showed their skills.'

I was really interested in the man who accompanied Humanitas Academy's headmistress. I wondered who he was, as I suspected he was as strong as Rania.

The magic division started with 5 students entering the arena, and the rules were announced. The students were given one and only one chance to use their strongest Magic. The tournament believed that there would be no second chance and one's ability could only be judged by their best.

Being nervous and scared wasn't an excuse for not doing their best. And it was Alesia who said this after the rules were announced. No one would wait for Mage to attack them in their best condition. I could agree with that and nodded my head.

That, however, made the first students nervous. When they started the test, they could only muster lower strength even if they used Lv 2 Magic skill. Wind blades, fireballs, rock bullets, and any other magic were shot toward the target at the end of the arena.

The target was a clay doll, and their damage to it was recorded as a point on top of their proficiency at controlling their magic. The more damaged the clay doll, the more points they received from Alesia and Humanitas Academy's headmistress, whose name was apparently Ivy.

I wasn't that impressed by their skill, thinking they were just newbies, as expected. Eliza was way better than them.

However, the spectators were amazed, and somehow the participants were smiling widely. It was as if they thought the chip they made on the clay doll was the best of their abilities.

'What the fuck?' I thought as I narrowed my eyes. 'Even if I am not skilled in magic, I know the magic they used sucked. They only made a little chip on the clay's body and were happy with that?!'

If Eliza was happy with something like that, I might train her again with my magic carpet. I hoped she could destroy half of the clay doll's body. That much should be possible with her magic. At least, that was what I estimated from the result of the this morning and looking at the doll's durability.

The second and third batches were also like that. At most, they only used Lv 2 magic. Then came the fourth batch. It was time for my childhood friend to shine.

For the magic division, the participant was also free to use and wear magic items. The participant could use anything they wanted to as long as it was obtained in their 'excursion' outside the Academy City or even something they bought themselves.

When five students entered the arena, Eliza stood out with the white mage robe I gave her that day. She also held a white wand while the others were entering by only wearing some kind of earrings and necklace with the usual black training clothes and shorts. They were all from Patientia Academy.

"Heh," I smirked as I watched the arena.

The baffled look on their faces was so precious that I almost burst out of laughter. The pig also looked surprised when he looked down at the arena.

If the Patientia Academy used a pay-to-win strategy to win the close-range division yesterday, I also see no reason for me not to use it to increase Eliza's chance of winning.

If I used words to describe what happened now, they were just like stuck-up people who only bought 500$ worth of item mall and thought they were already a whale. Then I, as Eliza's sponsor, decided to give her the priceless item-mall that couldn't be bought with money.

Not only that, her Level was twice higher than the others. She was a walking cheat in this tournament. Alesia looked at me for a second and nodded. That meant the item Eliza wore was allowed and recognized as magic items.

However…

"Wait!"

The pig, Earl Isaac Lawrence, shouted from his balcony and stood up with a red face.

"Is that allowed?! Isn't the rules stating that the only magic items that can be used in the tournament are the one students gain in their training and adventure outside the Academy City? That robe and wand are clearly handmade and bought from an artisan!"

Somehow, I had already guessed it. But Alesia should be able to handle it.

"No." The headmistress spoke with narrowed eyes. She pointed at Eliza and continued, "She got these magic items when she went to eradicate monsters with the Paladin. She gained it herself for her contribution. So it's allowed to be used in this tournament."

"Paladin?"I think you should take a look at

"She is with the Paladin?!"

ƥandasnovel·ƈom The spectators' curiosity was roused when Alesia mentioned my name. They had a crazy and wild fantasy about the adventure that I did, so it was natural that they now looked at Eliza with newfound respect and curiosity.

Eliza's face reddened in embarrassment as she tried to cover her cleavage and pull her skirt down.

"The Paladin?" Earl Lawrence looked at me for a second, probably waiting for me to say something.

"I can attest to that," I said, nodding my head. "We hunt more than ten Level 30 [Black Tigers] with the church knights. She helped us to slow down their movements with magic. Those magic items are her reward for helping us. Thus she earned it herself with her own ability."

I didn't lie about that, although I actually gave Eliza her robe because I wanted her to look sexier when we visited Rose Barony. Alesia probably gave the wand to increase the odds of her winning. That headmistress had the same thought as me, huh?

"I-If that's the case, then I have nothing more to say." Earl Lawrence sat down obediently without saying anything more. He also didn't look offended because I already answered him.

"Let's start the test. Go to your respective lane and cast your strongest magic." Ivy took over with a gentle voice and instructed the participants.

Eliza was on the third lane and stood there silently, taking a deep breath to compose herself. Then when she was ready, and the signal was given, she raised her wand and used her skill.

""

Unlike the Lv 2 magic used by the others, she shouted the name of Lv 4 . Everyone was surprised as they saw the barrage of wind blades, wind bullets, and small tornado toward the clay doll.

Boom!!

A loud explosion rang as the magic hit the doll. The dust was kicked upward, filling the arena.

"Ooooh!!"

"So strong!"

"She's so talented! No wonder she accompanied the Paladin once!"

"That's amazing!"

The crowd cheered loudly after they saw the aftereffect. Headmistress Ivy swept her hand to the right, creating a gust of wind with from Lv 1 and blowing the dust away.

When the dust was cleared, everyone could see clearly that the clay doll in the third lane was destroyed from knees up and scattered in peace! The first two lanes only managed to destroy the doll slightly with no significant damage.

"Wooooaahh!"

"That's amazing!!"

"She destroyed the doll!!"

Vivian and Karin also cheered for Eliza. They stood up and clapped their hands, following the other spectators. I also saw Tristan among the spectators, and she looked intrigued. Our gazes met each other, and she smiled before going away.

'I guess she's curious about Eliza.' I thought as I shifted my gaze.

Standing in the middle of the arena, Eliza turned around and walked away quickly. Everyone might not notice it, but I could see her happy smile and bright red face.

Embarrassed, she looked around the arena. Her face told me that she wanted to say something. And then she opened her mouth.

"Hmph! This much is natural!" She exclaimed as she flicked her hair back haughtily.

Why did she return to her tsundere self?

After the last batch of students, the magic division tournament ended just before lunch. The result of the tournament would only be announced after lunch, so people would be curious about it.

However, no one ever used Lv 4 magic besides Eliza to the end of the magic division. At most, three people from Patientia, two from Humanitas, two from Royal Academy, and five from Castitas could use Lv 3 magic. The third used Holy Magic, and it was a support type one, so the point would be calculated differently.

No one from Temperantia managed to use Lv 3 magic. They seemed to focus on their swordsmanship and spearmanship instead.

Currently, I walked in the corridor to visit the star of the day in the waiting room for the magic division. Finding her was easy with my Presence Detection.

From my radar, I could see that a few people surrounded her. Arriving in the waiting room that looked like a locker room, I knocked on it three times.

Tak tak tak!

If there was only Eliza inside, I might just open the door without worrying about her being naked or clothed. However, this waiting room for females had other people in it, so I couldn't do as I pleased.

I heard a voice from inside as I stepped back to keep me out of the door.

"Yes? Who is it?"

She sounded close to the door but didn't open it. From my radar, I also noticed three other people near the door, probably to block the view or something.

"I am Arthur Vainglory. Is Eliza inside?" I asked in a calm voice.

However, as soon as I said my name, the door opened, and three girls stepped out. Two of them had long brown hair, while one of them had dark green hair. They were all beautiful and looked at me with dreamy looks.

"Y-Your Holiness?!" They exclaimed simultaneously. I heard some noise from inside, footsteps of those who tried to exit the waiting room but were blocked by the three girls.

From the way they called me, they probably were from Castitas Academy.

"Ladies, can you call Eliza for me? I wanted to invite her for lunch. Tell her that her beloved is here." I said while blinking my eyes. It sounded a bit cringe to me, but I had no choice if I wanted to mark Eliza as mine.

I just knew that some nobles loved this kind of thing and the flowery talk. Eliza would be famous after her previous display, so I did this to keep the flies away before they approached her.

"Y-Yes, of course!" One girl replied and ran inside.

The others gathered their courage and talked to me. I smiled at them and humored them with a short talk as I waited for Eliza to go out.

Before long, my beautiful childhood friend stepped out in her Royal Academy uniform. She was holding a brown bag in her hand, used to keep her magic robe. Her face was still a bit red, and she took my hand before pulling me away.

"H-Hey," I called out to Eliza, but she ignored me. So I just waved my hand toward the other girls while giving them an apologetic smile.

When we turned in the intersection and couldn't be seen anymore, she released my hand and turned around, pouting.

"Why did you say that to them? The girl who called me said that my fiancé is here!" She said, explaining the reason why she was pouting.

"Do you not want to become my fiancée?" I asked with a teasing tone. Then I sighed, putting up an act of sadness, and wiped non-existent tears. "I am sad, Eliza. And here I want to make our relationship official."

"Ugh… I-It's not that I don't want to, but…"

"But you just want to be my girlfriend secretly? If that's what you want, then I don't mind. Although I want to flirt in public, it seems that I have no choice. I will respect your decision."

"N-No, it's not like that, I said!" Eliza raised her voice. Her face reddened to her ears. "I-I do want to make our relationship official, but… I am too embarrassed if you say it in front of other people."

"Hmm, is that so?" I said with a slightly disappointed tone, "Well, that can't be helped. Then, I will flirt with other girls in public. Coincidentally, I might officialize my relationship with Tristan. Oh, she's the winner of the long-distance division yesterday."

"Huh?"

Eliza's expression froze. Her whole body followed suit as her gaze turned blank.I think you should take a look at

"You would be engaged with that girl?" She asked.

"Yes." I nodded, "She was my first love." I told her honestly.

"First love…" My childhood friend muttered in a daze. "Did you love her?"

"As much as I love you," I replied.

When she heard that, she let out a relieved sigh. Then her expression turned serious.

"Let's get engaged." She said.

I smiled. As I got to know her, the more I knew her personality. While she didn't show it, Eliza easily got jealous and was competitive. Her tsundere side didn't fully disappear even when she matured slightly.

Since I told Tristan that I wanted to marry her, I had also decided to tell Eliza and the others about it. Of course, slowly, and I would do it over time. The marriage would happen in the far future, and getting engaged was enough right now.

"Great."

I smiled brightly, showing her that it was all within my plan. Her eyes widened in realization.

"You…"

"No take-back. We will get engaged next month after everything settles down." I said, patted her head, and walked away. She was still freezing in place.

Inside a closed room, six individuals were seated around a long table. They were the headmasters of each academy.

And at the end of the table, where the seat of honor was, sat Alesia. She was holding documents filled with the score from two tournaments from earlier.

"So, I believe no one has any objection?" The elf headmistress spoke and looked over the participant of the meeting.

Everyone nodded. The petite headmistress, an Archbishop of the Castitas Church, had a small smile.

"Fufufu, she's really talented." She commented. "Isn't that so, Headmistress Ivy?"

"Truly. I heard that she was the Paladin's friend. I wonder if all his friends are all that talented." The green-haired headmistress nodded and held her cheek in wonder.

"Hahaha, I have no objection. My kids will only focus on close-range division, after all." The Temperantia Academy headmaster laughed loudly.

"While my students lost, I do believe that they lost fair and square. Having second to fifth place for ourselves is enough. I do agree with John, and so I have no objection." Diligentia Academy's headmaster said, fixing his monocle.

"It's rare for you to agree with me, Albert." John grinned, looking at the smart-looking man.

Only Patientia Academy's headmaster, Isaac Lawrence, had yet to express his opinion. He gritted his teeth, mainly because his students failed to get to the top 10 in both divisions.

"I-I don't mind. Do as you please." He squeezed his voice out of his throat.

The pig headmaster knew that if he expressed his dissatisfaction here, he would be in a bad position, and his position as a headmaster would not be safe. So he swallowed his pride and chose to agree with the others. "Alright." Alesia nodded, satisfied. "So no one objects that the general study and magic division winner is Eliza Rose."

Saying so, the Elf put the documents on the table. Eliza's information was written on the topmost paper, and the sign 'Winner' was written in big letters below her name.

Report chapter Comments

After lunch, the winner for both divisions was announced. Eliza, whose name was called at both divisions' announcement as a winner, couldn't really expect it and almost broke down in tears.

She happily accepted two trophies from Alesia as her name was recorded in first place on both boards.

As I said before, there was no final for general study and magic as they were point based instead of skill-based, like close and long-range divisions.

Celebratory followed suit. Karin and Vivian joined Eliza down the arena. I wanted to jump in too, but I understood my current position and only observed from above. While some people already knew what my relationship was with Eliza, it wasn't 'official' yet, so I couldn't display affection in public.

'It's a shame. But I will make up for it later.'

At that moment, I was about to leave the balcony when the [Earring of Communication] I wore in my right ear blinked. Someone from the Border City had contacted me.

'Who is it?' I wondered as I accepted the call.

(Arthur.) A soft voice rang from the earring as soon as the gem glowed.

Based on the voice, the one who called me was Lucy, the Vampire. And if she called me two days before the final, then…

(She's ready.) She reported.

Hearing that, the corner of my lips curled up slightly. They had done their job splendidly. I didn't know what state was ready, but I asked them to at least destroy Carissa's mind until she couldn't be recognized at first glance.

'Just in time… No, it's faster than I thought.'

Mia must've made a considerable contribution to it. I told her to punish Carissa. And about the punishment, I didn't want to know what she did. I only knew a yandere would definitely have the talent to torture someone.

"Great job, Lucy," I said.

(No problem, Arthur. Nina also said that the training for the new girl has started, and you can expect her to be obedient to you in a month.)

The new girl… 'She must be talking about Ria.'

She was the red-haired Wolfkin that caught my eye when I took over Raven Group. I planned for her to join my Paladin Knight Squad because she seemed to be stronger than the average person.

And the training Lucy talked about was obedient training by Nina. The bunny girl should've known that I didn't want anyone to touch the red-haired wolf, so her training should've been done by putting pressure.

'I look forward to meeting her again.'

"Alright," I spoke with an elevated tone, "I will probably visit Border City tomorrow. Do you or Melissa need anything from me?" I asked.

ƥandasnovel·ƈom (I need your blood, 3 vials. As for Melissa… She said she didn't want anything. If… and it's an if… If it's possible, she wants to get your semen inside her womb. But because she is just a lowly servant of the primordial one, as she said it, she didn't think she deserved your seed. That's what she said.)

It was rare for Lucy to talk lengthy like that. And her tone changed a little. She seemed to be holding a laugh, and someone was pulling her at the same time as she spoke.

'Melissa, huh?'

When I imagined Lucy being pulled and pushed by the seemingly elegant black-haired Succubus from the Border City, I couldn't help but find it rather funny.

"Tell Melissa that she can join my session with Beatrice in the future. Beatrice wanted to have an orgy with my girls, so feel free to join. Of course, once she did that, I wouldn't allow her to sleep with other people."I think you should take a look at

(Alright, Arthur. I relay it to her in real-time, and now she's really quiet… Oh, wait. She said okay. She only wanted you and swore not to sleep with anyone else. It's an honor to join her Master's orgy, she said… I didn't know why Succubi always did that. I, personally, prefer blood compared to semen, although I never had the latter.)

"Hahaha, Succubi are creatures bred from the Goddess' lust. So it's natural if they love something related to lust." I said while laughing, "Anyway, I will visit the Border City soon. Ask Mia what she wants too and let her prepare it for when I arrive. I bet she won't be able to think anything in a short time."

(Yes. I will do that. She probably will request your blood too.)

At Lucy's words, I froze for a second. A yandere and blood were a bad combination.

"Tell her to request something else." I coughed, "I won't have enough blood for both of you. If I give Mia any, then you will get less."

(That's troubling. I will tell Mia to request your semen then. Some Vampires who have husbands said they taste similar.)

With that, Lucy ended the call.

'This girl…' I sighed.

Indeed, yandere and blood were a bad combination. But a yandere and my seed was a worse combination. Before I could even stop her, she ended the call.

I knew that she was just joking from her tone, but I couldn't help but shudder thinking of Mia crawling to my bed with the expression she wore when she went crazy that night.

While she was way weaker than me, her craziness alone made me a little bit scared. Only she could inflict that kind of fear on me in this world besides the one who stopped me in that World-End Waterfall.

'A silent and shy people are scary.' I thought as I took out another [Earring of Communication] that I kept in my pocket.

Before going to the Border City, I needed to make sure of something else. It was the progress of the other side.

Putting it in my left ear to complete a set of earrings, I called the other side by infusing a little bit of MP into it.

(Master~ I've been waiting for you to contact me!) A cheery voice of a young girl rang in my ear. Without waiting for me to speak first, she continued. (I have befriended Queen Eve! You can even call us best friends. In short, she will believe everything I told her, so I have completed your order, Master!)

'Best friend?' My lips twitched as I imagined the elegant Queen befriending a primordial Succubus who looked like a young girl, and both were talking while sitting around a round tea table.

"Does she know that you're a Succubus?"

(She knew it. I didn't even hide my horns, wings, and tail. She believed my story that I was chased out by a bad Vampire when I saw their exchange with that Princess. I also told her that I have Vampire friends, and they are trying their best to survive, so Lucy and the others should be safe!)

(And she suspects the King too! I had charmed him and made him do something a bit different from usual and let the rumor about the Princess spread. Of course, no one noticed. I was just worried about the Church.)

As expected from the primordial Succubus, who wanted to take over the Virtue Kingdom. She had information and how to act without waiting for my instruction.

Combining the information of being chased by bad Vampires, the Queen wouldn't be surprised if the Princess chose to throw away her humanity.

And if we subdue the mad Princess and capture some bad Vampires from nearby Underground Cities, that would also help the Border City gain the Queen's support when she rose to the throne.

It was perfect.
