"Ah! Ah~ Ah!!!! Lily... ha! I am sorry. I came too early."

The thoroughly tired man named Yuki shivered violently and fell down heavily onto the bed sheets right beside Lily’s body.

His chest was heaving up and down as if he had just run a marathon across a mountain peak.

"There is absolutely no need for a sorry, my beloved. This low-level servant enjoyed it to the maximum limit. After all, what else is there in this mortal world other than this supreme pleasure, right? He heh."

Lily offered a very happy, content smile as she looked at her husband.

Yuki and her had just completed a round of incredibly passionate lovemaking, lasting for a whole two minutes!

She had enjoyed it immensely, and he had enjoyed it too. The two of them were very, very happy with this level of marital bliss.

’Two whole minutes of heavy friction! My husband is truly a powerful man among guards!’

Lily thought with extreme pride, her heart filling with endless sweetness as she snuggled closer to his sweaty shoulder.

She was thoroughly satisfied with this domestic happiness.

But then, her hand accidentally brushed against the hard glass vial hidden deep inside her apron pocket on the nightstand.

The dark red liquid of the King Blue Terror Snake poison seemed to flash under the dim candlelight.

Her expression instantly became serious as the Matriarch’s voice echoed in her mind.

’That’s right, I must remain focused. After this brief moment of lovemaking, it is time for me to execute the plan.’

She looked at Yuki, who was already fast asleep from the sheer exhaustion of their two-minute battle.

She gently kissed his forehead, her determination reaching the absolute peak.

"Sleep well, my hero. When you wake up, you will be the personal guard of the Matriarch, and that noble trash Kaizen will be nothing but a cold corpse."

She quietly slipped out of the bed, putting her maid uniform back on with rapid speed.

Her baby-fat face carried an awkward yet fierce expression as she walked out of the servant quarters, heading straight toward the isolated guest wing where the target was staying.

...

Ten minutes later, outside Kaizen’s isolated quarters on the upper floor, a series of rapid knocks rasped through the dark, quiet corridor.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Lily fidgeted restlessly in front of the heavy wooden door, her baby-fat face instantly flushing into a deep crimson color.

’Shit! I am truly going to do it right now! But what if this heaven-defying plan fails?’

Her small heart trembled with extreme panic.

However, looking at her empty hands, the lethal poison vial was nowhere to be found.

Where exactly did she hide it?

Only her and the wise Matriarch knew the secret location.

’But the Matriarch’s ways have never failed in her entire life. There is absolutely no need to worry.’

The Matriarch was a very thorough powerhouse.

If she said a single drop caused a person to become dead instantly upon contact, then he would definitely die.

That was the absolute truth under the heavens.

’Give me supreme strength, Matriarch!’

She prayed fervently in her heart.

Click~ open~

Right at that moment, a soft click sounded as the heavy door swung wide.

Out came the young man.

He was wearing nothing but a single white towel wrapped loosely around his waist.

His entire masculine body was completely wet, covered in thousands of crystal-clear water droplets that glided smoothly down his hard chest muscles and flat stomach.

His long, hair was messy and wet, dripping water onto his broad shoulders.

Lily blushed fiercely, her eyes instantly looking away in absolute panic.

She had never seen another man’s body like this in her entire life other than her beloved Yuki!

Not to mention, he was practically half-naked right in front of her face!

’He truly is a shameless piece of noble trash, just like the Matriarch said!’

Why else would someone come out to greet a pure maid while being half-naked?

Did this degenerate rogue possess absolutely no sense of shame or propriety?

However, despite her intense loyalty to her husband, her eyes couldn’t help but subconsciously steal another glance at his appearance.

Kaizen’s face was incredibly handsome, possessing sharp, profound features that were far more striking than her beloved Yuki’s simple face.

His physical body was broad, muscular, and completely filled with an overwhelming masculine aura.

’No! No! Yuki’s body is definitely the best! Two minutes of supreme passion is much more high-tier than this trash guy’s appearance!’

She fiercely denied the thoughts in her mind, her heart hammering wildly against her ribs as she forced herself to maintain a strict, professional servant posture.

Kaizen lazily leaned his heavy body against the door frame.

His eyes instantly narrowing into a sinister, amused smirk as he began to look at her body from head to toe with absolute, unbothered leisure.

His gaze slowly crawled from her nervous face, down her tight maid uniform, right to her trembling legs.

Sensing his intense, predatory eyes inspecting her every inch, Lily became deeply conscious of her own body.

Her skin felt incredibly hot, a sudden wave of deep discomfort and strange nervousness washing over her entire lower half as the villainous rogue continued to devour her figure with his eyes.

"Oh? It is the lovely maid from earlier."

Kaizen ran a hand through his wet, messy hair.

"So, what can I do for you?"

Kaizen asked, his voice casual as he crossed his arms, his wet hair dripping onto his bare shoulders.

Lily fidgeted with the edge of her apron, her face burning as she tried not to look at his chest.

"Do you need any help with anything tonight?"

"At this hour?"

Kaizen raised an eyebrow, a small smirk playing on his lips as his eyes drifted down her uniform before returning to her face.

"The Matriarch said to look after you for any of your needs at any time. That’s why I came by."

She stammered the words out, trying to sound professional despite her heart hammering against her ribs.

Kaizen’s smirk grew wider.

He took a slow step to the side, opening the doorway completely, and gestured with his chin toward the dim interior of his room.

"Come inside. Let’s talk."
