By the time Xiaolie came back, accompanied by Yaling, Edrick had stepped out of the bath and was busy drying his body with a towel.

“Master, how may I be of service?”

“Jingyi just unlocked her bloodline today, and I want her to put some more focus into unlocking the rest of her traits… It is up to you to perform a very important job on my behalf”

Anoteros put the towel down and threw on a luxurious black bathrobe.

“I will need you to seek out new servants. The residence lacks proper personnel basically everywhere. You know my tastes and requirements. Speak with all the candidates–Those you deem good, I will speak with myself to determine whether they are worthy of being owned by me”

He tightened the bathrobe’s belt.

“In particular, there is a need for servants to perform basic tasks such as cleaning and laundry–But more importantly, I need servants in the Nursery Wing. As you know, Fanqia is pregnant, and I would prefer that the nurses I employed be properly taught before she gives birth”

“I understand, Master. I will prepare this in the briefest delays”

“There is still some time, so do not rush. Do things properly… You can go now–Same goes for you, Xiaolie. I will be going to sleep”

On this note, Anoteros soon lay in bed alongside his slumbering wives, sleeping until noon without any problem…

“Master, a letter is addressed to you”

Lisha brought something to him soon after he woke up. It was a small letter stamped with a wax crest that he did not recognise. However, the content soon made it clear that this was intentional.

The sender–Or rather, senders–Had not wanted to attract any unwanted attention with these.

There were actually two letters inside the envelope. One from Ku Xing, and one from Ting Zhenniao… The two older women were sending him an update on their respective pregnancies. It had indeed been a little while since he impregnated them both–The signs had probably become visible by now.

[Hello, hello!

How are you doing, handsome young man? Our child is growing very well inside my belly. And guess what? It’s a girl! 

More importantly, though. I was able to get my hands on my useless, limp-rodded husband. This pathetic bastard climaxed after twenty seconds with his noodle… But hey! He truly thinks the child is his, so that’s good.

Seriously, can you believe that he comes from a clan whose ancestral technique is about a legendary minotaur? I tend to forget that since he lacks the equipment of one.

Anyway! This was just to keep you updated. Love you, and I hope the next time we meet, you can show this old lady some more love.

Ting Zhenniao]

The letter ended with a heart and a kiss mark from green lipstick.

She had rather harsh words for her husband. It was pretty obvious that it was nothing more than a political marriage, and that she would gladly throw him aside in favour of Edrick.

Anoteros didn’t mind if she stayed married, though. He had no qualms about satisfying a married woman–Especially not one as charming as Ting Zhenniao…

Next, there was the letter from Ku Xing.

[Greetings.

I hope you’re doing well. I’ve heard a lot of good things about you lately. I am glad that you are seeing some recognition for your hard work, my lovely Deuallino~ I am not quite used to that new terminology. It doesn’t roll off the tongue well, but it looks cool in written format, I guess… 

In any case, our baby is growing very well. I don’t think you care much about it, but don’t hesitate to send me a letter back if you have a name idea for her–Yes, we are having a beautiful daughter!

She’ll definitely be tall and jacked as hell…

My parents are going a bit crazy trying to figure out who impregnated me at the moment. I would gladly say that you are the father, but I know that it could cause you some trouble in the current state of things… But I still hope that you’ll be able to meet your daughter soon after she is born.

A child needs a strong masculine presence–And… The servants are too submissive to fill that role. My father will definitely dote on her like a little breeze could snap her in half.

Anyway, I can’t wait for when you come around to marry Bai Xing, and we can see each other… If I have already given birth by then, what do you say about filling me up again?

Much love.

Ku Xing]

‘These two know how to get my lower brain going…’

It was indeed a bit of a shame that he couldn’t get credit for fathering the babies these two noble ladies were nurturing within themselves. It would instantly increase his reputation within the Elt clan. It wasn’t easy to convince high nobles to take part in harem-like activities like this, after all.

It was certainly even harder for the end result to be so good. Both Ting Zhenniao and Ku Xing liked him very much, so although there was no marriage, it would count as an alliance in the eyes of the Elt clan.

Unfortunately, Ting was married to Quiang Futou: A man from another clan–Not quite a great clan, but still a respected one that couldn’t be poked easily. If it were learned that Ting’s child had been fathered not just by another man, but by a youngster, it would be incredibly humiliating for her husband…

Anoteros was not in a good position to deal with such ire from someone with such a status. At least, for now…

As for Ku… It would technically be right for her to reveal Edrick’s identity as her child’s father, but although she wasn’t married, she definitely had a bunch of suitors. In fact, suitors were probably more dangerous than husbands. Those guys were actively trying to get into a particular woman’s bed, and to them, it would seem like some young man had swooped in out of nowhere and ‘stolen’ their girl.

They would definitely be quite upset.

Once again, Anoteros would rather not be bothered by such things at the moment.

Instead, he had something more important to do. A promise to fulfil.

Namely, he was going to honour Oswulf today.

The Greater Vulpine Hound may bear a servant crest, but she held a special position. She was a bestial companion of Edrick. Therefore, he wasn’t just going to do it with her like he would when performing Biesta on any other feral dweller of the wilds.

Showing affection to Oswulf would require a bit more refinement. At least for the first time…

He found it important to show her some preferential treatment, so that she knew that she was above the rest–Above Alffine, for example.

‘Let’s see how good she is at this…’
