Chapter 109: Eighth-Rank Beats Seventh-Rank, No Contest
“Where’s Ella?”
As they approached the manor, Kailun’s gaze shifted towards Anna on his left.
He could understand why the others didn’t come to greet him, but it was unreasonable for Ella, as a key figure, not to come.
However, Kailun himself knew that if it weren’t for the contract, Ella, with her 0 favorability, wouldn’t even work for him.
“Auntie said she still has a lot of accounts to deal with regarding the chamber of commerce, so she’s staying at the chamber of commerce to continue working today.” Anna, who was holding Kailun’s arm, replied respectfully.
Although her body had developed a special attachment to Kailun, she was much more reserved than Phils in her behavior.
“Oh, I see. Since she likes working so much, I’ll give her more work. Later, I’ll give her the accounts of the Kingdom of Malaga as well. If she works hard, maybe she can finish them in a week. Of course, she has to work eighteen hours a day.”
Kailun smiled evilly, he believed Ella would love his gift.
The chamber of commerce was indeed important, but the attitude of Ella, who was in charge of it, was even more important.
He needed a beautiful and useful tool. If Ella couldn’t meet his requirements, then she could probably only be labeled as beautiful and useful.
“Hmm~”
Regarding the suffering her aunt was about to endure, Anna just hummed softly.
“Right, I have good news to tell you.”
Kailun pulled his hand out of Anna’s embrace and placed it on top of her head.
The girl tilted her head and looked at Kailun with her sapphire-like eyes, a hint of joy and curiosity in them.
She was a little shorter than Kailun, with a perfect figure at 1.65 meters, her head just level with Kailun’s chin.
In Anna’s eyes, the corners of Kailun’s mouth curled up slightly: “I found a duke named Pit in the Rose Kingdom, we will have an important trade cooperation with him.”
Hearing the name Pit, Anna’s expression changed drastically. Her eyes transitioned from initial joy and curiosity to tension and worry.
Duke Pit was the enemy who had harmed her mother, the arch-enemy she had to defeat.
If he really became Kailun’s partner, would she really have a chance to take revenge?
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable Anna felt. Her heart beat uneasily, and tears welled up in her alluring eyes.
Compared to her past self, she had become more cowardly, cowardly enough to place her hope on Kailun.
Even though Kailun was the one who bullied her, she couldn’t help but hug his waist, raise her head, and express her feelings.
“Please don’t do this, he killed my mother, he is my enemy, the person I must kill. He is a jackal, a jackal who preys on married women. Please don’t cooperate with him, I can work for you, I can agree to any of your requests, I can do anything you want.”
As she spoke, tears welled up in Anna’s eyes. It was because she had had a lot of contact with Kailun that she knew how powerless she was when confronting him.
Now she didn’t have the slightest courage to resist Kailun. If Kailun became friends with Duke Pit, then she really wouldn’t have a chance for revenge.
Instead of disgust, Anna chose to please Kailun first.
Even though Kailun said the words she was most worried about, her favorability didn’t decrease, which was commendable.
Kailun rubbed Anna’s head with satisfaction: “Since he is your enemy, then I have to properly screw him over. There’s no other way, who told this to be the request of our Anna? Even if you are just a pet and a slave, you are still mine, so be honored.”
He gently grabbed her hair, feeling the silky smoothness.
[Your understanding and generosity touched Anna’s heart, she developed a new kind of emotion. Favorability +5, Total favorability 90]
Phils, who was on the right, shook her head when she saw this scene. Poor Anna was deceived by that devil Kailun again.
Just look at the smile on Kailun’s face, he clearly planned to tease Anna from the beginning.
However, Phils didn’t intend to expose Kailun’s true thoughts, because doing so wouldn’t get her Kailun’s punishment, it was more likely that he would treat her coldly.
Only Chrissy, who was behind the three of them, looked at Anna and felt inexplicably familiar. She looked a bit like her, but there were obvious differences.
She couldn’t explain this obvious difference.
Carefully observing Kailun’s behavior from a third-party perspective, she agreed with the view that Kailun was a devil.
If her judgment was correct, she was probably also being played with.
Speaking of which, how did she fall for Kailun?
Saint Chrissy thought carefully for a while but couldn’t come up with an answer and gave up thinking. Anyway, she couldn’t turn back anymore.
She had completely become Kailun’s shape, his container, his storage box.
Following Kailun’s footsteps, they crossed the gate of the manor and walked onto the quiet tree-lined avenue. Chrissy continued to listen to their conversation.
From the layout for the Rose Kingdom to the layout for the abyss, every step was ingenious.
She didn’t seem to mind losing, it was hard for her not to lose under such a detailed and precise plan.
She didn’t know who the Temple of the Heavenly God would send to redeem her, Chrissy felt sorry for whoever it was.
……
Perhaps because the long march had made everyone tired, after returning to the manor, Kailun only made a simple summary and let everyone return to their rooms.
Because the big bed in the master bedroom hadn’t been upgraded yet, Chrissy and Winnie got a temporary reprieve.
Strictly speaking, it wasn’t that the bed couldn’t fit them, but Kailun saw that Afra was already asleep and was afraid that the scene would be too chaotic and wake her up.
So he only kept Anna, who was in heat, and planned to brush her favorability further.
In his opinion, Anna was different from Chrissy. It was difficult for Chrissy to reach full favorability through pure communication, but Anna had the opportunity to reach the top directly.
However, Chrissy was not satisfied with this reprieve. If Phils hadn’t dragged her away, she would have already rushed up and hugged Kailun’s thigh.
With a helpless look on her face, Chrissy chose a room on the same floor, she planned to launch a night attack.
If she couldn’t complete her daily check-in, she would be so uncomfortable that she couldn’t sleep.
“Can’t sleep?”
Facing away from Afra, who was asleep, Kailun and Anna were lying on their sides, facing each other.
“Hmm~” She hummed softly.
Kailun put one hand under his head, brushed Anna’s hair away from her ear with the other hand, and asked, “Did you miss me while I was away?”
“Yes.” This time, Anna was much more honest: “I would occasionally stand by the window and look at the moon, every time I would stand for a long time, until my legs were numb, and then I would sleep alone in your bed. Every night, I felt like I was missing something, I couldn’t fall asleep…”
Kailun played with Anna’s delicate ear while listening to her narration. It wasn’t until she finished speaking that he said, “Then do you still hate me? If it weren’t for me, maybe you would still be studying at the Magic Academy, living a normal life, waiting for the future when you are strong enough to take revenge.”
“I… I don’t seem to know what hate is anymore.” Anna reached out and grabbed Kailun’s hand, brought it to her mouth, and gently held it with her soft lips.
Sticking out her pink tongue and licking Kailun’s fingers gently, watching his slightly dazed face gradually become intoxicated in the night.
Putting Kailun’s fingers into her mouth further, Anna bit, sucked, and nibbled with her teeth, she was using this behavior to express her submission.
She had said that as long as Kailun agreed to her request, she would do anything for him.
For her, taking revenge on Duke Pit was an obsession. If it weren’t for him, her family wouldn’t have been reduced to this state.
Relying on Paul was unrealistic. It was better to leave everything to Kailun than to rely on her foolish brother Paul.
“Then, will you leave me after a year?” Kailun threw out the third question of the night.
Anna didn’t answer this question directly.
She put down Kailun’s palm and sat up from beside him. The bright moonlight fell on her body, making her skin look even fairer.
Her blue hair fell loosely around her, making her look like a blooming, enchanting flower.
To express her thoughts and desires, she climbed onto Kailun and slowly sat down, gritting her teeth.
“Ugh~” As if she was sighing in satisfaction, she slowly leaned down and hugged Kailun’s head.
The fullness pressing on his face made him feel suffocated, the fruit that fell into his mouth was delicious and tempting, like plump grapes falling into his mouth and rolling around.
He bit down gently, there was no juice overflowing or flesh flying, this might be because it wasn’t fully ripe yet.
However, the excellent taste and chewiness didn’t make him feel difficult to swallow, for a moment, Kailun had the thought of swallowing it whole.
But he couldn’t do that, just like a tree connected to its roots, as he chewed and swallowed forcefully, he felt the grandeur behind it.
The pink grapes were connected to the tree, the tree was connected to the roots, and the roots were buried in the white snow-capped mountains.
Although it wasn’t as grand as Edlin’s, it could still be considered a majestic mountain.
Wrapping his arms around Anna’s delicate waist, Kailun enjoyed her service, listening to her suppressed moans.
If feelings were also a kind of magic, then it must be the magic with the longest casting time.
For Kailun, every time from chanting to casting took at least half an hour, the later it went, the longer it took. If he wanted, it could even last for a whole day.
Magic was always magical, it was about the conduction of magic power, the replenishment of magic power, his own reserves, and the receiving capacity of the magic circle.
There were simply too many things to study, even those who had reached the ninth rank couldn’t claim to be an invincible archmage.
Compared to Kailun, Anna was just a low-level mage, she still had a lot to learn.
[Under your careful guidance, Anna’s magic power reserves increased. Favorability +2, Total favorability 92]
The frequency of increase wasn’t as fast as Saint Chrissy’s, this might be related to each person’s characteristics.
Or maybe, Chrissy had the attribute of a plush ball in her bones, so her favorability could increase quickly.
In his interaction with Anna, Kailun learned new and useless knowledge.
…….
“Little doggy, wake up, if you’re late, I’ll spank you.”
As soon as the sky turned bright, Little Princess Vivian sneaked into Princess Hilna’s room and woke her up.
Because of Kailun’s generosity, Hilna could already sleep in a separate luxurious bedroom.
Hilna, woken up by Vivian, opened her eyes in a daze. She hadn’t slept so comfortably in a long time.
Last night, not only did she not have any dreams, she also didn’t encounter Kailun’s bullying. Lying on the soft bed, she felt light and airy.
“Don’t you want to go see Kano Prison? If we’re late, we won’t be able to get out after Kailun wakes up.”
Vivian poked Hilna’s head with her finger.
Hearing the words Kano Prison, Hilna immediately perked up.
She quickly got up from the bed and said, “Will Kailun really let us out?”
“Kailun might not be awake yet, so this is our chance. Actually, I have a good relationship with Carol, if I ask her to help, I should be able to take you out. After all, we’re just going to take a look, even if Kailun finds out later, he’ll just teach you a lesson.”
Vivian nodded seriously. Because of her curiosity, she hadn’t slept all night.
She had thought about sneaking out at night, but this wasn’t realistic. Kailun’s manor was heavily guarded, even a mosquito couldn’t fly in.
Although it would be exposed in the morning, as long as she could achieve her goal, it didn’t matter even if Kailun found out.
In Vivian’s opinion, if her guess was correct, Kailun should have had a similar experience.
This was not only a verification of her dreams, but also an observation of Kailun’s behavior.
Thinking of those blushing and heart-pounding scenes appearing in Kailun’s dreams, Vivian couldn’t help but blush.
It was too embarrassing, she never thought that she would be so bold.
“Wait for me, I’ll come after I get dressed, you go out first.” Hilna, who was wearing pajamas, said to Vivian.
Even now, she still wanted to see it with her own eyes. If the things in her dreams really existed, then did it mean that the scenes in her dreams were another different possibility?
“Hmph, you’re just a woman who was played with by Kailun.”
Vivian snorted softly and glared at Hilna, pretending to be imposing. This feeling of riding on her sister’s head and acting arrogantly made her secretly happy.
Leaving Hilna’s bedroom swaggeringly, Vivian planned to wake up Shirley as well. No matter what, they needed a guard on the surface.
Bringing Hilna along, on the one hand, was to make her take the blame, and on the other hand, it was also to verify Vivian’s other guess.
If she could find Kailun’s weakness, then she would have a chance to turn him into her little doggy.
With excitement, Vivian looked forward to it.
Half an hour later, they got into Kailun’s carriage and headed for Kano Prison next to the palace.
Because Carol had given her permission, no one stopped them.
Kano Prison had been abandoned for a while now. For the brutal Kailun, this kind of prison that wasted food wasn’t very useful.
However, Vivian and the others didn’t know that Kailun woke up a little earlier than them.
After all, it was just Anna, she was quickly dealt with. Even Chrissy, who also launched a night attack, was no match for him. He had enough time left to have a good sleep.
Unless he lowered his physique, three hours of sleep was enough.
“Master, are you really going to let them out?” By the window of the small building, Carol asked Kailun.
“Let them go, we have to give them hope, right? Otherwise, wouldn’t it be less fun if the princess was always downcast? People can only live with hope. I still want to bully the princess more, so I’m looking forward to the day she bounces back.”
Kailun leaned on the window and watched the carriage leave.
Originally, he planned to follow them and give them a surprise, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. He was afraid that his surprise would be too big and scare the princess into a slump.
He would find a chance to suppress her again later, lock her up in Kano Prison and bully her hard, that was his current thought.
“What about Vivian?” Carol asked.
Kailun: “The little princess is a special case, I’ll let her off the hook, probably, considering she’s already reformed.”
Carol looked at Kailun’s obviously changing expression and said, “Compared to me?”
When mentioning Vivian, the smile on Kailun’s lips clearly deepened.
Because of her special talent, the more she interacted with Kailun, the more she could feel the changes in his mentality.
Compared to the Kailun who was full of sadness at the beginning, he was much happier now.
Logically speaking, this should be something to be happy about.
But the problem was that she didn’t play an important role in Kailun’s change, which was a pity.
“Are you jealous?” Kailun turned around and looked at Carol, who was wearing a revealing maid outfit.
Carol: “Not jealous, but a little uncomfortable.”
“What a clingy little thing, let’s go, I’ll take you for a walk around the manor alone, otherwise Chrissy will pester me when she wakes up.”
Kailun extended his hand to Carol.
But she didn’t take his hand as he expected. To his slight surprise, Carol threw herself into his arms.
After a brief moment of daze, Kailun shook his head wryly, he picked up Carol in a princess carry, and carried her down the small building to the back garden.
Although the posture was a bit strange, everyone in the house was his own, so it didn’t matter if they were seen.
Strolling leisurely by the small lake in the back garden, Kailun chatted with her in a very relaxed manner.
The next period of time should be his most relaxing time. He needed to wait for the results of the war between the Temple of the Heavenly God and the abyss before making his next plan.
……
“Tap, tap!”
Clear footsteps echoed in the narrow and dark underground prison, Vivian and Hilna’s hearts became tense, only Shirley, who was still sleepy, stretched and looked around with bleary eyes.
“I’ve clearly never been here, why do I remember all the routes and layouts so clearly?”
Looking at the familiar scene, Vivian’s pupils constricted.
She turned to look at her sister Hilna and found that her expression was similar to hers.
“It seems that you also dreamed of this place, then why did we both dream of this place at the same time? Could it be that Kailun sent us this dream?” Vivian raised the question.
“I did dream of this place, but in the dream, I didn’t do anything, yes, I just came here and took a look.”
Hilna waved her hands, explaining.
No wonder every time she dreamed of whipping Kailun, she would suddenly wake up and be whipped by Kailun, it seemed that this dream was indeed related to Kailun.
But why did she appear in Kailun’s dream?
Why did Vivian also appear in the dream?
Was this high-level magic?
No! Even ninth-rank magic could never do such a thing.
Vivian blushed and said, “It seems that you’re the same as me, I also dreamed of this place, but I didn’t do anything either.”
Hilna lowered her head and glanced at her sister, she didn’t expose her. In her memory, Vivian in the dream clearly often brought Kailun food and drinks, she might even have fallen for him.
No wonder Kailun treated Vivian so much better than her, it might be because of this strange dream.
In the dream, she won and captured Kailun, locked him up in prison, bullied him at will, and forced him to sign a slave contract.
But in reality, Kailun suddenly woke up and turned the tables, throwing her into a nightmare and bullying her at will.
“Do you think Kailun might have dreamed of what would happen in the future?” Hilna raised the question.
Because of the special circumstances, they temporarily put aside their prejudices. If they could understand the principle of the dreams, they might be able to see new opportunities.
Vivian twirled her hair with her fingers and thought: “Although I want to refute you, the scenes in the dream are too real, and as far as I know, Kailun has never been here. If it really is his dream, then how did he dream it?”
The two looked at each other, the confusion in their eyes growing deeper and deeper.
They felt like they were involved in something magical.
Going deeper into the prison one after another, they reached the room where Kailun was in the dream.
“Creak!”
Opening the iron door and walking in, all the furnishings were exactly the same as in the dream.
After confirming the scene in the dream, Vivian bit her lip with her canine teeth.
Her brain received a large amount of information in a short period of time, she needed time to sort it out.
Unlike Vivian, Hilna saw hope again, she wondered if she could dream of a different scene.
If she could dream of what would happen later, then wouldn’t she have a chance to resist Kailun?
The flames of revenge burned in her heart, her dead heart slowly beating again.
……
The peaceful days didn’t last long. The next afternoon, an uninvited guest came to the royal city and made an appointment with Kailun at the largest restaurant in the city.
Three people were sitting in the luxurious private room on the third floor: Kailun, Chrissy, and a girl from the Temple of the Heavenly God.
Today, Chrissy was playing the role of an actress. She was wearing a magic-suppressing collar on her neck, and her hands were tightly bound with iron chains.
At the table, she looked at Kailun with resentment, her eyes full of anger, looking exactly like a captive should.
And the girl sitting opposite Kailun was the assassin from the Temple of the Heavenly God.
She didn’t choose to assassinate Kailun immediately. In her mission, rescuing the Saint was the priority.
Breaking into the manor by force might alert the enemy and put the Saint in danger. To ensure everything went smoothly, she had to redeem the Saint first.
Before the negotiation, she had carefully investigated and sensed. At this time, there was no eighth-rank presence in the royal city except for a Kailson who was locked up.
Considering the possibility that Kailson was a traitor, she was still invincible.
As an assassin, her favorite targets were mages.
As long as she didn’t rashly break into Kailun’s manor and fall into multiple magic traps, she couldn’t possibly lose!
How could an eighth-rank lose to a seventh-rank? Impossible.
To lower Kailun’s guard, she took a magic-concealing pill beforehand, making her strength appear to be at the sixth-rank level.
Perhaps Kailun was really fooled. Behind him, there was only a seventh-rank silver-haired knight.
And Kailun himself was only at the fifth-rank level, which was within expectations, he could be considered a genius.
“According to His Holiness the Pope’s order, I came to redeem the Saint. You can make your requests, as long as they are not too excessive, we can agree to them.”
The girl got straight to the point, her smile was very charming.
For the benefits that were delivered to his door, Kailun naturally smiled even more happily.
