"Greetings, Sir Lucien. I apologize for offending you earlier. You are truly worthy of being Lady Elize’s disciple."

Liz’s praise was not pleasant to me. I knew that Liz wanted to ask for my forgiveness for daring to be so rude to me earlier. Luckily, I didn’t pay too much attention to the rude attitude that Liz had previously shown me.

My head turned back towards Elize’s side. Elize’s beautiful and charming face revealed a gentle smile to me. For some reason, Liz couldn’t help but imagine my relationship with Elize.

’Judging from Master’s reaction... Could it be that this relationship is not just a master-disciple relationship? But this makes sense! This human is very talented and is even better than Master when she was young!’

There was no resistance from Liz to thinking about my relationship with Elize as her romantic partner. However, my talent had been proven directly by me when Liz and I fought previously.

With my talent that challenges the common sense of other living beings, I would have a full opportunity to become Elize’s partner. Therefore, Liz felt happy seeing that her master had a man to love.

"Haa... you have exceeded my expectations. Looks like the person I should be wary of is that young master of the Vermillion family. I hope that person won’t show a surprised reaction when facing you two weeks from now!"

This was not a form of Elize’s arrogance towards my extraordinary strength. Elize had been confident from the start that I would have a great chance of dealing with the young master of the Vermillion family. Even if I trained less than the young master of the Vermillion family, I was born with a talent that allowed me to progress faster than the average living being.

In fact, I didn’t mind the trust that Elize had placed in my abilities at all. On the contrary, I happily accepted every compliment that Elize gave me.

"By the way, what is the relationship between Sir Lucien and Lady Elize? I see that you are very close and different from a normal master-disciple relationship."

Liz’s slightly impolite question made Elize reveal a scary expression. Elize’s frightening smile made Liz unable to hold back her worried expression. After averting her gaze from Elize, Liz decided to keep her mouth shut about the question she had asked earlier.

"You shouldn’t ask about this. Elize is my master. Therefore, our relationship is only that of master and disciple. Don’t think too much about anything strange regarding our relationship."

Even though she was doubtful about my statement, Liz decided not to ask further about my relationship with Elize. Not knowing something that she shouldn’t know was a good choice if she wanted to continue living in the future.

"I... I understand!"

One of my hands was now gently gripping Elize’s shoulder. Both Elize and I behaved like a husband and wife. But Liz didn’t say a word about the attitude shown by the master and disciple. Instead, Liz chose to stay where she was and decided to watch the scene in front of her.

Previously, Liz hadn’t shown any suspicious behavior on her face. But Elize’s voice startled Liz slightly, causing her to wake up from her thoughts. Ignoring Liz’s shocked reaction, Elize said, "Since it’s like this, I’ll have to ask for your help in gathering this month’s food stock. Go and kill some low-level wild beasts, then store them in the underground room."

Liz’s body subconsciously froze, and she hoped to forget the incident that had happened in front of her. Elize and I were now floating back towards our residence. As a 4th-star beast, Liz knew what Elize and Lucien wanted to do when they were alone in the room.

Liz’s view of her master had completely changed into that of a perverted and depraved woman. During the day, her master had boldly made out with her lover. Elize’s previous attitude before meeting her disciple had been that of a cold woman, but now she had changed into a woman who had fallen in love with a man she liked.

Elize’s domineering attitude in Liz’s mind had completely changed into something not worth mentioning. Although Liz was worried about Elize’s change in attitude into that of a gentle woman towards her lover, she would not offend her master just because of her change towards a man.

"At least this is still better than staying with them. I will carry out the task given to me by my master!"

Outside the barrier of the wilderness, the figure of a woman with long black hair and half of her face covered by a transparent black veil could be seen standing together with Shelia. Both Athena and Shelia wanted to visit Lucien and then take him back to the castle.

Due to several problems faced by Lucius regarding the schedule of his son-in-law’s fight against Charles, he had to shorten the schedule and make his son-in-law fight in three more days. Actually, it was not Lucius’s wish to speed up the schedule for the fight between Lucien and Charles.

The empire had asked Lucius several times to speed up the schedule for his son-in-law’s fight with Charles. As a king who governed a kingdom, Lucius could only accept every order given to him by the empire. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"This is truly a disgusting act. I didn’t expect that the imperial side would so brazenly violate this six-month agreement. I really dislike all of them!"

A snort escaped from Shelia. Shelia’s hatred towards the empire had reached an unforgivable level. On the contrary, even Athena was thinking the same thing as Shelia.

Athena had felt dissatisfaction towards the empire for a long time before meeting Lucien. Since long ago, both Athena and the empire had experienced several conflicts with each other. Moreover, the young dragons from within the empire were all dragons who had dared to challenge Athena with their dirty actions.

Lilith was one of the reasons why the empire did not dare to take any reckless action against the Dragonia Kingdom. All small territories within the Dragon Realm were also under Lilith’s protection. Even though the empire had countless experts, they could not act completely rashly when challenging a monster like Lilith.
