October 10th of the 1103rd Year New Divine Tsutsumin Calendar
Viscount Adelaisa Sion PytaJuroc’s Mansion, Private Study.
“Haa…I’m tired, I’m tired! I can't believe those girls were able to do this every day! Yup facing and creating faces for nobles, fighting monsters or just dealing with problems is even easier!”
A woman of her prime age, 23, was lying down on the expensive seat that was somewhat no different from a throne ranted and ranted continuously as her hands moved with great efficiency with one moving to sign and write over documents while continuously browsing them with some mysterious technique that would be too hard to understand and with her other hand moving to drink tea from the teacup with utmost elegance, yes it was the woman known as the true leader of the Juroc Frontier Viscount territory, known as the [Hero] of Grelfalst Kingdom the [Armageddon Lioness] known to be able to barely match the monsters in the Kingdom known as the Pope of the Alv-Keshion Religion, and the Reszkion Elite Magic Devision Leader, Adelaisa Sion PytaJuroc who didn’t even felt laziness even if her voice was incredibly lazy or rather flippant in the eyes of the people who would see her.
Seeing that look on her mistress’s face, a young woman, sighed and poured tea on the now empty cup that Adelaisa laid before going to get another set of documents and viewing them with extreme level efficiency as she sat again at her side and viewed some metal plate with a bored expression as she moved her fingers while using some precision equipment.
“Adelaisa-sama, please don’t even say that. You aren't even tired. I don’t want to see even a workaholic say that especially when she is working like that that even high ranking officials wouldn’t match…more than that your words couldn’t be even said by elite officials you know?”
Having hair of the color of blue green, the young woman on the age of 15—Rendiz von Cromleck known as the most power spy in the country when she was serving as one of the Epislion which she already left using the skill [Detection Manipulation] on the level of [Spirit-Level], sighed as she looked at her mistress,
“But isn't this normal? It’s normal you know? Normal! If a normal person even uses his head at least 15 minutes a day, and even tries to think of doing the most efficient way possible then they would able to achieve something like this!”
And then sighed again, not for her mistress, but for herself as she seriously thought back there that there might be a possibility that she would be right, but it wasn’t even possible. She seriously that does even all geniuses like her who could do anything unbelievable believed that everyone could do anything that they do just by thinking and putting efforts, but it only made her sigh again.
“Haa…Adelaisa-sama, then why are you tired…no.” Instantly speaking or rather changing her words, Rendiz looked at her mistress, the mistress who was now smiling an incredibly creepy smile that didn’t fit the face that was praised as the most beautiful rose of the kingdom and she exactly knew why she was smiling like a creep. “Adelaisa-sama why the heck are you so delighted?”
Hearing that Adelaisa stopped writing and looked at her trying to change her expression. “I…Delighted?”
“That creepy smile is something that you would only show when you’re truly delighted. Just like a noble seeing the most beautiful slave he could get and buying it you’re delighted not tired.”
Hearing her she continuously moved her hand with extreme speed, and talked with a calm voice without even removing that creepy smile on her face. “You see…there are new 2 Rank 8 Army Valiant that showed up…it was…it was clearly amusing.”
“Amusing…I see…I was there after all, it was Hisui-san, and Alessia-san, right? That guy…”
“Oh my, oh my! It seems that the virgin Rendiz finally found a man she wanted to have children with! If I remember your mother was incredibly industrious individual? Finally feeling your womanly instinct wanting to swing your hips above him?”
Hearing the words of her Mistress, the only thing that Rendiz did was to feel unpleasant and glare at her thinking of how she could kill her, but honestly it was—
“Reaaaally! Rendiz is so cute when you tease her!”
It was just the hobby of Adelaisa—to ‘tease’ her subordinates annoying them while they were hide their embarrassment.
Knowing that quality of her mistress, the only thing that Rendiz could do was to sigh and sigh deeply and not mind her even if she was practically trying to play with her, and practically might be the only reason why this woman clearly had Rendiz by her side.
“My mistress, I have not felt such feelings. I am such a vulgar woman to feel such feelings such as wanting to swing my hips to such man.”
“Ara, ara…but that boya…accurately used [Time Phase] or even a higher level skill! I almost couldn’t even match him! I could only barely match him you know! Driving such monstrous amount of mana to that bastard!”
“?!...[Time Phase]?! Adelaisa-sama, could it be that he’s a demon or a high ranking monster?!”
Hearing the words of her mistress, Rendiz screamed in the top of her voice due to surprise—it was only normal [Time Phase] was a known ability to change either the speed of time itself by either the people around the user or the user, but it was an ability that only a few demons were able to use, and most extremely high ranking [Bosses] would be able to use with ease.
Yet…yet a normal looking man with weirdly designed clothes easily used it according to one of the few persons who could even match [Time Phase]…but the person itself said that she couldn’t even almost match it.
Still to make Rendiz relived, Adelaisa simply smiled in a creepy and disgusting way easily ruining her beauty and denied it.
“Nope, not really. That is not true…have you heard of the prophecy? Have you heard about the people of the church panicking due to Alv-Keshion’s relic missing?”
Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
Easily thinking what her mistress was saying, Rendiz widened her eyes again…a crazy thought or rather it was clearly downright insane, a thought that some conspiracy theorist who doesn’t have anything to do in his life and was made due to some circumstances would only thought of that.
“An avatar of Alv-Keshion has descended to save the world or something like that…or maybe even something like the kin of that Ancient Warriors? Who knows even if he’s some kind of high ranking monster, but all of those bastards that I met didn’t really have any interests in humans or rather they even thought that humans as something useless…who knows, but if you think of it…his day of arriving here, and the holy sphere that covered the whole world—don’t you think of it as incredibly…how could I say coincidental?”
“That man…well he does perceive me even with my skill…considering that—[Spirit-Class Detection Manipulation] or maybe the senses of a beast, a high ranking one….or maybe that of an Ancient Warrior’s skill…haa… what a monster of a man…”
“Hahahaha…but think of it, Rendiz…an Rank 10 Army Valiant stronger than me and possibly even stronger than those twin princesses…no clearly stronger than them…having even just the braveness of dealing with me with his knowledge…I wouldn’t call him skillful, but he does have the air of a special person, a regal air that was shadowed behind that normal exterior…”
Frowning at her mistress’s words, Rendiz could only reply in a weak voice. “And so you’re telling me that he’s like some high ranking noble of some country or has this skills as diplomat? What the heck is that?”
“Hahahahaha! You’re right! You’re right! You might have been fooled, but I couldn’t!” Adelaisa raised an incredible scream as if she was possessed, but Rendiz knew that itself she was feeling the incredible delight like when she fought a [Demon Lord] together with the rest of the [Triumvirate], [The Priest], and [The Wizard], the titles wrought by those three, Adelaisa having [The Warrior], the First Princess having [The Priest], and the Second Princess having [The Wizard]. “You see! YOU SEE!!! That boya’s eyes! I know! I know those corrupted eyes! THOSE DEAD FISH EYES! I don’t even know if idiots don’t know that! I DON’T CARE HOW I FELT IT!!! BUT THOSE EYES!”
Calmly viewing the plate in front of her without even caring the crazed mistress who continually spoke and wrote while having bloodshot eyes, Rendiz asked.
“What do you mean by those eyes? They were normal…just like an orphan who lost all hope on living or something as if he was a wanderer without a direction”
“OHOHOHOHO! RENDIZ! RENDIZ! RENDIZ!!! That’s not what I’m saying! Those people who are used in dealing with corrupted people!!! I’M SAYING THAT HE HAS THE EYES OF THAT OF AN INSANE PSYCHOTIC PYSCHOPATHIC PERSON!!! THE EYES OF AN AGED NOBLE!! THOSE EYES THAT ONLY PEOPLE HAVING EMPEROR CLASS ELOQUENCE, AND INTELLEGENCE SKILLS!!! A MONSTER! A MONSTER I SAY!!”
“Haa…” Rendiz sighed again and started worrying if the legend about your happiness escaping the more you sigh rather than her mistress. “And so what are you thinking? Are you thinking of luring him?”
“LURING HIM?! LURING HIM! Yes! Yes! That’s it! The foolish boss who was already tearing space and trying to descend! YUP! THAT’S IT!!! I DON’T LIKE THINKING! I DON’T LIKE THINKING!!! I DON’T LIKE THINKING! I DON’T LIKE THINKING!!! SO RENDIZ! RENDIZ!! RENDIZ!!! THAT YOUNG MAN!!! THAT BOYA!~ HE’S WEAK!!! I COULD FEEL IT!!! FRUSTRATION!! FRUSTRATION!!! FRUSTRATION!!! HAAAAAAAAAA!!!!”
Hearing her mistress like this and perceiving her thoughts even if one wouldn’t want to, but rather it was the effect of her seemingly useless unique skill, and so even if one wouldn’t like it, one would perceive its true meaning no matter how mad she was.
“A honey trap…huh…I heard he liked younger women which means he would like what I look like, but rather if he’s exactly like what you said would he fall to a honey trap like that? I don’t think he’s such an idiot to fall that easily…”
“Fufufu” Coughing a few times to calm herself down, Adelaisa simply smiled elegantly to her. “Do you know how much mortals and other sentient races were destroyed by lust? I could easily give hundreds of examples on how great men were destroyed by lust, and how even the greatest people and most saint-like men were turned in lust…”
“What do you mean Adelaisa-sama? What does that even mean? Or rather I somehow…”
“Sentient races like us were already incorporated with the program saying [Reproduce], but it didn’t say anything how…well systems on our body creates the feeling of love, but just like what you would hear this illogical thing that mortals like us call [Love], is only an illusion made by our bodies so that we could do our roles in the system—[To reproduce]…which means no matter how civilized mortals are—they will become beasts in front of their desires, and their program to [Reproduce]…”
“Then Adelaisa-sama are you saying that every one of us are beasts?”
“Yup. Mortals just strived to become superior to beasts using their intellect, but remove that—meaning our high level processing, we are no different than dogs or monkeys who do it the whole night without tiring.”
“Then Adelaisa-sama are you telling me to become that man’s woman? The sacrifice to make him do our bidding…but I could only used once you know?”
“Wh~at? Are you saying that you’re the only good woman in the world? He’s a young man! I could feel he does have experience, but that experience isn't that great as his political skills…and he’s clearly stressed about something! He’s clearly frustrated! He wants to do it, but he’s too shy!”
“What about Alessia-san…from I saw she looked like some beautiful girl…a really beautiful one at that…”
“Nope. He still haven’t done it with her or rather with the tension in his body and his actions as if treating her as some precious creation, I could feel that he wants to it with her, but couldn’t due to some situation…like that of a newly-wed couple who still haven’t done the deed…”
“That’s not really the reason, right? Adelaisa-sama might be a politician, but she’s isn't a detective or something like that.”
“But isn't reading an opponent through his behavior, and his habits one of the skills that a politician should have? This gut feeling always save me you know?”
Leaning and moving her body to a more relaxing place upon her seat, Rendiz simply sighed again without even thinking of her character or even her mistress who simply smiled creepily and drank her tea.
“I know…I know that…but, Adelaisa-sama, I still…” Thinking back on the young man who looked like that of a simple villager who was already content of his life that doesn’t have anything that and that look upon his face that she couldn’t describe but mediocre. “That guy seemed so lazy…that guy seemed to accept everything as facts and wouldn’t ask a question…him a wise person as you described? It would be very to even believe something like that you know?”
“Well suit yourself, but…still…”
There was some hesitation in her voice that Rendiz couldn’t describe, but seeing the gentle smile on her mistress’s face…no a normal person would see a gentle smile, but she could see through that—it was a smile that she was clearly planning something wicked.
A dark shadow was clearly behind her mistress, and she wouldn’t be able to deny such—that was the first thing that she saw from her mistress, and the reason why she, who decided not to do anything and live her whole life in boredom, decided to move again.
“I saw it you know? I saw it! Skills like [Charisma (Artificial)], [Eloquence], [Politics], and [Personal Perception]—ALL OF THEM HAVING THE RANK OF MONARCH CLASS!!! MORE THAN THAT MONSTROUS SKILLS AND MAGIC THAT I COULDN’T COMPLETELY SEE!!! AH!! AHH!!!”
“And so? What of it mistress? What do you want me to do?”
“WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?! WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?! OF COURSE I WANT YOU TO DO SOMETHING!!! RUNNING OFF! EATING A MONKEY!! SWINGING YOUR HIPS!!! CATCHING A CRAB!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! OF COURSE I WANT YOU TO LEAD HIM!”
Looking away from her metal plate and gazing at her mistress, the only thing that Rendiz did was to say—“Then that I shall do”
“Then I shall prepare the stage. Let us remove the flippant face from that sheep-coat wearing monster.”
