When his father came home, Michel had already left the Sinclair residence to go somewhere. As expected, Lucy followed him wherever he went.

"Hey, where are we going? Why did you go into the forest?" Lucy asked as they entered the forest outside Esersin City.

Michel didn't respond to Lucy's question, he didn't even turn his head. His flat face stared straight ahead, and his steps continued to stride through the trees and bushes.

"Michel, you heard me! Don't ignore me like this!" Lucy spoke loudly, almost shouting.

As if Lucy's existence didn't exist, Michel didn't give the slightest reaction upon hearing her words.

After everything that happened between them, Michel was convinced that Lucy didn't intend to kill him for some reason.

Even after all his brash behavior, Lucy still didn't kill him. Lucy's killing intent was real, Michel could feel it.

If not for her mysterious reasons, Lucy would have killed Michel since their first chaotic encounter.

Michel suspects that the reason Lucy didn't kill him might be because she didn't want to go home.

When a summoner uses their ability to summon a creature that has not been contracted, the summoner cannot send the creature to return.

The summoned creature can only return after the summoner successfully contracts it, or the creature decides to return on its own.

Such was the case with Michel and Lucy.

What upset Michel was that he couldn't make any more summons before making a contract with Lucy, or Lucy returned to her world.

That is the natural rule of a summoner.

After being far enough away from the city and feeling that this place was good, Michel decided to stop. He quickly turned around and looked at Lucy with a sharp gaze.

"What? Why are you looking at me with that look?" Lucy raised her eyebrows.

Michel's left hand immediately touched the ring around his neck, and then a sword appeared in his right hand.

It was a long and sharp double-edged sword, also thin but not as thin as a rapier. The sword was black in color and very simple in shape without any ornaments.

Lucy immediately understood Michel's intention to take her to the forest after seeing that. Lucy found this very funny, as Michel still thought that he could beat her.

"I will conquer you, demon!" Michel exclaimed seriously.

"Ha-ha!" Lucy chuckled, a sardonic smile appearing on her pretty face.

"Looks like you need a spanking to wake up."

There are two ways to make a contract with a summoned creature, the first way is that they (the summoner and the summoned creature) agree to make a contract.

The second way is to fight and subdue the summoned being.

Michel chose the second way rather than choosing the first way because the first way was very unfavorable to him, he did not want to become a slave.

Realizing that Lucy would not attack first, Michel decided to take the first step to attack Lucy.

This was a very spacious place and no one would interfere with his fight. Unlike in the Sinclair residence, Michel didn't need to hold back and hide his strength.

Here no one will see his true strength.

Half an hour later, Michel ended up lying on the ground so battered that he could barely move. Lucy defeated him with ease.

"Am I this weak?" Michel began to doubt his strength and abilities.

From the start, Michel wasn't too sure he could beat Lucy, but he thought he still had a small chance.

He could not even land a single strike on Lucy's body. He was only able to make one small scratch on her arm, and that was because Lucy was caught off guard.

This was not what Michel had expected.

Lucy wasn't serious when fighting against him, and Michel realized it. That's why Michel felt frustrated. Lucy was just toying with him during the fight.

He couldn't accept this fact.

Just as Michel was about to get up for the umpteenth time, Lucy suddenly landed her plump ass on Michel's back.

Michel's arms then trembled before falling and returning to lying on his stomach.

'Bitch! I will avenge this shame! Michel let his face sink into the ground in shame and anger.

Michel had been humiliated many times and was used to it, but when Lucy humiliated him, somehow his resentment was much greater than being humiliated by his brothers and sisters.

"I told you, you won't be able to beat me. Have you realized that now?" Lucy spoke with a gentle smile.

"Get off my back!" Michel roared.

"Why? Don't you boys like this kind of thing?" Lucy asked with her innocent face.

Michel gritted his teeth, he hated feeling helpless like this.

***

Arsen came home earlier than everyone expected, including Michel. This was the moment Michel had been waiting for.

There was something he wanted from his father.

When the moon usurped the throne of the sky, Michel finally left his room and went to the Bellflowers Residence.

Bellflowers Residence is one of the five main residences. This is where the Sinclair family holds all sorts of formal events like any other royal family.

Michel saw many bellflowers as he walked into the Bellflowers Residence. This residence lived up to its name, as did the other residences in this place.

In front of the big door of Bellflowers Residence, Michel stopped his steps for a moment then turned his head towards someone who was following him. Who else if not Lucy?

"Don't follow me! What if my father sees you?" Michel tried to stop Lucy from following him.

"You've seen my powers and abilities, right? So you can rest easy, if I'm serious no one in this lower world will be able to see my existence," Lucy spoke confidently.

"You're so arrogant! It seems like you underestimate the people in this world," Michel replied.

"I do," Lucy admitted.

Michel gave up, there was nothing he could do to stop her.

"My father is one of the most powerful magus in this world, so be careful and don't get caught!"

"Why are you talking to yourself? Have you gone mad?" said a knight at the door.

"You're late, brat! Why are you coming now?" said the other knight at the door.

Michel and Lucy ignored them and continued to ignore their words. Michel immediately opened the door in front of him and walked into the residence.

The two knights looked angry and irritated that Michel had disrespected them, but he didn't even glance at them.

Michel and Lucy walked through a short hallway before finally arriving at a very spacious and magnificent hall.

Today was the day when the Head of the Sinclair Family returned home after completing the dungeon with the highest danger level, the SSS-Rank dungeon.

In this world, there were only five SSS-Rank dungeons, and the dungeon completed by Arsen was one of them.

According to his information, the dungeon conquered by his father was a dungeon that was about to break down.

That was the reason why Arsen had to intervene.

When Michel arrived there, all the people sitting facing the long table in the center of the hall suddenly turned to him.

This is what Michel wanted by deliberately arriving late: attention from the rest of his family.

At this moment, almost his entire family was gathered in this hall.

The first person Michel saw after arriving at the hall was Arsen. He saw his father only glance at him briefly, before finally refocusing on the food in front of him.

Michel was somewhat disappointed by that reaction.

His gaze immediately moved and fell on a beautiful woman sitting next to Arsen, that woman was Greta Sinclair, Michel's biological mother.

More than anyone else in this place, his mother was the one who gave him the sharpest stare.

The look in her eyes seemed to say 'What are you doing here, useless child! Go away, don't come here! You'll only embarrass me!" to Michel.
