After spending the rest of the blissful day with Skyla, Lane, and Fel, Nux activated his [Conceal] as he left the mansion.

He then walked towards the Royal Palace, he was extra careful on his way and had already activated his [Sense].

Although Edda and he had decided to meet at a certain point, he scratched that Idea and directly walked towards the Royal Palace. Edda was his woman now, there is no way he is going to let someone hurt her.

He appeared in front of the gates and waited for Edda to leave, 15 minutes later, Edda left the Palace wearing her Maid uniform and with a serious look on her face.

Nux compared that face with the one she had yesterday when she was tied up and couldn't help but chuckle. He felt happy that he was the only one who could see her hidden perverted side.

He then used his [Sense] and found that there wasn't anyone following Edda, he sighed and followed Edda all the way to the meeting point before appearing in front of her.

"Haah… you are making me repeat myself huh…" Nux sighed as he glanced at her.

"You look really stunning, My perverted maid~"

"It's you who made me a pervert..." Edda replied with a smile on her face, unlike last time, she readily accepted her identity as a pervert without any resistance this time.

To be honest, she didn't care about it now either, the pleasure she felt yesterday when she accepted being his 'Pleasure Toy' was so out of this world that she would do anything to experience that again!.

Not only that, this man treats her so well even though she was his 'pleasure toy' that she has nothing to complain about! She was really happy and thankful to the god that she met him.

"Let's go?" Nux then extended his hand forward, just like how he did the first day she met her.

"Why do you still treat me like that?" Edda questioned with a confused look.

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"W-Why do you treat me all gentlemanly like that?"

"Hmm? Because you are my woman?"

'W-Woman? B-But didn't you say that I was your 'P-Pleasure Toy'?" Edda replied with a deep blush.

Nux blinked his eyes in shock before he laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha~"

"W-Why are you laughing?"

"Hahaha~" Nux did not bother replying and continued laughing.

After laughing for a good 3 minutes, he calmed down before he moved toward Edda as he raised her chin seductively,

"My perverted maid, I just like to be gentlemanly with my 'Pleasure Toy' as well, do you have any complaints about it?"

Edda's heartbeat quickened as she replied meekly, "N-No"

"Good"

Nux then grabbed her hand as the two of them entered the carriage Nux had prepared beforehand before they left the Capital City.

Inside the carriage, a serious look appeared on Nux's face as he grabbed her hand and questioned,

"Edda Osburn, are you willing to be my woman with all your heart?"

"I-I am already your object. I belong to you"

Her weird answer was somehow accepted as a yes by the system and a mysterious energy entered Edda's body.

"W-What is that?"

'Don't worry, I'll explain everything one by one'

She heard Nux's voice directly into her mind and she jerked in surprise.

…

On the other side, in a hall that was a lot bigger than the one in Felberta's mansion, two men, one with blonde hair, a handsome face, wearing black robes with brown coloured patterns, and the other with a silver hair, equally or even more handsome face, wearing pure looking white coloured robes with golden patterns, were sitting on two thrones side by side, indicating that they had the same status.

These two were Heath Hardwick and Alger Bannermane respectively.

A woman was wearing skin-tight black clothes that covered all of her body, and a mask that concealed her face, kneeling in front of them, seemingly reporting something.

"So, can you tell me why that bitch Edda isn't dead yet?"

The silver-haired man, Alger Bannermane, questioned.

"Yes, what happened to 8 and 9, why haven't they reported back yet?"

Heath Hardwick questioned as well.

"We can't find any traces of 8 and 9, we checked our secret meeting place as well, but they aren't there either. I believe they are either killed or captured."

"Captured!?" Alger shouted in surprise, there was a tinge of fear on his face.

The woman frowned when she saw his behaviour, but her face returned to normal and she continued.

"Don't worry, Marquees Alger, even if they are captured, we have trained them not to say anything else. They will kill themselves the moment they get the chance"

The Marquees finally sighed in relief when he heard those words, as for caring about his subordinates' life?

What villain does that?

Never read anything like that.

Suddenly, heath Hardwick frowned as he questioned,

"That Edda is a Master Stage Cultivator, 8 and 9 are both Master Stage Cultivators as well, even if they can't beat her for some reason, running away shouldn't be a problem? How were they defeated? Is someone helping her?"

Alger's eyes widened as well before he clapped his hand and a man wearing a black coat over a white shirt appeared,

"Greeting, Marquees Alger"

He was Marquees Alger's butler.

"Who was the person travelling with Edda?"

"Marquees Alger, he is the leader of some sort of merchant company that comes from Wood's Dynasty and is here to sell some items."

"I don't care about his company or whatever, what is his name?"

"Dio Brando"
