Night quietly descended.
Red moonlight and blue moonlight poured down from the two moons in the night sky, rging together before reaching the ground, forming a layer of misty silver moonlight. Strangely, it appeared no different from the ordinary moonlight, quite wondrous indeed.
In the central area of the border city of Aurus, a vast mansion surrounded by an estate was bathed in this moonlight.
This mansion was the guesthouse prepared by the Libion Duchy, reportedly constructed within these past two days.
To have built such a large estate and mansion in just two days, if not for living in a world where magical technology and Magic knowledge are widespread, such a preposterous feat would never happen.
Of course, if it were Reiger, he wouldn’t need even a single day, or even a single minute. He could create a fortress in the blink of an eye.
The Magic "[Create Fortress]," Reiger was no stranger to using it before.
Therefore, Reiger was not surprised by the Libion Duchy’s ability to construct such a large estate and mansion in just two days.
And if even an outsider like him wasn’t surprised, then lo and Naisa, who were locals, certainly wouldn’t be. In the first instance of staying here, they organized their subordinate Knight order and priesthood to take over the guarding duties of this estate, driving away the stationed troops from the Libion Duchy as arranged by Yarad, fully taking over the estate, even sending soone to conduct a thorough inspection inside to ensure no issues arose.
Such domineering behavior, only the Empire and the Holy Sword Church could pull off. If it were soone else, the Libion Duchy might have protested fiercely over loss of face.
Sadly, even if they protested, it wouldn’t help. Concerning Reiger’s safety, neither the Empire nor the Holy Sword Church trusted others, especially after what happened on the Sphinx. Neither lo nor Naisa would trust the crucial responsibility of protecting Reiger to untrustworthy hands; they had to manage it personally.
Thanks to this, even after only less than two hours of residence, the guards in this estate were completely replaced by the Empire’s Knight order and the Church’s priesthood.
The Knights stood diligently on guard, so rigorously patrolled back and forth, while the priests set protective spells and activated barriers in every corner, constantly enhancing the protective asures around Reiger.
Even though they were due to set off the next day and would only stay here for one night, lo and Naisa had no hesitation in implenting such stringent security. From this treatnt, one could see how important Reiger’s status was in their hearts.
Originally, Reiger felt this was making a fuss over nothing, but seeing that Naisa and lo had no intention of changing their minds, he had no choice but to accept it.
"Good thing I am accustod to such occasions, or else I’d be overwheld with such attention."
Muttering to himself, Reiger ignored Naisa and lo, allowing them to fuss over the arrangents.
anwhile, he indulged in top-tier enjoynt upon settling in.
"Master, please turn around..."
"I, I’ll help Master wash the front..."
In a luxurious room on the top floor of the mansion, sitting on the sofa in a spacious hall, lo and Naisa vaguely heard sounds coming from the direction of the bathroom.
These were the shy voices of the nymph girls Jelina and Hilune, alongside the occasional sounds of water and singing. Anyone hearing these noises could not avoid imagining sothing heating up inside.
Naisa found herself blushing at tis, feeling indignant at others, resulting in her gaze towards lo becoming overwhelmingly hostile.
"Don’t look at like that, Your Holiness."
Even soone like lo felt increasingly uncomfortable over ti when stared at directly by Naisa, the Female Pope of the Holy Sword Church.
Though they were close in age and strength, and should technically be peers, the sacred priestess before her was ultimately the current Pope of the Holy Sword Church, a position tantamount to the King’s in the Empire.
While lo was the crown princess most likely to inherit the throne of the Karedohart Empire, thus a future Queen in waiting, she had not yet ascended to the throne. In the Empire, although a figure above all but one, compared to Naisa, she still fell slightly short.
Realizing she had been resented by Naisa, lo herself felt a bit unnerved.
If the other wanted to make things difficult for her, she’d find it slightly hard to endure.
Thus, lo attempted to pacify Naisa.
"We are also doing this for His sake, I believe you understand this."
The two nymphs were desirable things that countless individuals sched for secretly. Even her own notoriously dubious father was tempted. One could imagine gifting them to Reiger was a very challenging decision for the Empire.
Although Jelina and Hilune made the choice willingly, their nymph tribe ultimately depended on the Empire’s power. If the Empire insisted on interfering with their decision, it wouldn’t be impossible.
