Chapter 232: I’ve never felt a limit.

Veyrith quickly pulled up the report that Nero Company gave her about Eryon. They didn’t make anything up; the report on Eryon situation was just as it happened.

“I took a look at it earlier, and although it was a peculiar case, everything was in order…”

“You mention his background.”

“No, Mistress . He merely appeared at a random auction and became involved in an altercation. By chance, one of the employees recognized him and reported it. Since he aligned with your preferences, the leader of the company negotiated an agreement with him.”

“That was a convenient situation…”

“I understand, mistress . However, the leader of the Nero Company was meticulous. He ensured the contract contained strict clauses. Had he harbored any ill intent toward you, would have been activated immediately, destroying he from the inside. It is an exceptionally valuable and powerful contract.”

“…That fellow definitely realized something.”

“Yes, my mistress, that is most likely the case. It probably happened when you grew angry—when he brought you children instead of adults. He must have sensed your aura clearly and deduced something. Now, he desperately seeks to earn your favor, even going so far as to use a contract like this.”

One thing the merchant did not tell Eryon, or rather Chris is that it was a contract that had been made by someone who had the blessing of the blood god.

Breaching it would not only affect and restrict you, but would immediately kill you with his blood curse. But contracts and curses were things Chris didn’t care about.

Even without his blessing, he could easily break it thanks to his protection from lust. Being bound to any god, whether by a blessing, curse, patronage or otherwise, was something he could decide, and that was the privilege of the 14 legacies.

..

“If it’s that kind of contract, it’s understandable that he wasn’t afraid to present it to me, even with his dubious background.”

“The leader of the Nero Company also has an artifact that can see through lies. and he didn’t detect any lies coming from him.”

“So there is no problem, except his mysterious background.”

“The leader of Nero Company said that, because of his confidence of facing an Umbraeli without any doubt, there were two possibilities for his background.”

In fact, Akihara was very interested in more ways than one for ’Eryon’ now, and Veyrith, who sensed his aura, could understand why.

If he was the cause of this, they had to know as much about him as possible, so she read the very neat and detailed report the Nero Company people gave her. In fact, their professionalism was because it pleased Akihara.

“The first thing is that he has a background large enough to not be afraid of someone with pure or noble blood. and it is for this very reason that they did not dare to use forceful methods to bring him before you.”

When she finished reading, an intense pressure descended on the room; the source was Akihara herself. she was not at all pleased to hear that. Apparently, Akihara felt more attachment to ’Eryion’ than Veyrith thought.

Although it was understandable, Veyrith herself was upset just imagining Eryon in a bad situation. She felt she could take a stab at whoever it was that wronged him in any way, but now was not the time for that, she had to keep reporting. So Veyrith continued reading.

“And the second thing is that he is ignorant of the world and doesn’t understand hierarchy. Apparently none of his Syrinthas slaves remember meeting anyone with Eryon-sama characteristics in any of their tribes, so perhaps, because of his peculiarity, he was shunned and forced to be isolated to the point of being ignorant about these matters.”

“Humm, that’s a bit understandable too.”

“Yes, Mistress, many tribes usually isolate those who are different, as tribes still exist because there are demons who don’t like to be involved with other races, and a different one can be isolated and even expelled being young.”

“…”

“This would also explain the lack of background. It is not easy to find information on people living in isolation. Maybe he’s been living in this town for many years without attracting much attention.”

“Anything else?”

“Well, he also says he may be somewhere in between, since he had a lot of knowledge about rare materials and such. But whatever his background, it shouldn’t be anything related to my lady’s situation.”

“Do you know if she exhibited any suspicious behavior during the day?”

“W-well, I fainted after what happened, but when I pulled myself together, I watched him for a while, as well as exploring the mansion without any fixed objective and flirting with some maidservants. He didn’t do anything suspicious, not to mention there was nothing suspicious in his storage.”

” it seems like someone has a lot of guts to flirt even though he belongs to me. Well, seeing how he looked for a fight easily and by the way he looked at me the first time, it’s not that weird. I’ll have fun educating him little by little.”

“Th-That’s right, mistress. There is nothing suspicious about him. You know that my glasses are artifacts designed to detect ill intent, and yesterday, I paid special attention to him. If I may say so, he had more than one opportunity to act if he truly harbored malicious intentions. And when I examined him, he had no dangerous artifacts hidden on his person.”

“That’s good, although you seem a bit eager to convince me, I’ll believe it, I didn’t want to have to kill him.”

“….that’s right, mistress. There is no need to suspect Eryon-sama. His presence here must simply be the result of a temporary job that arose by chance—one he accepted because it was too tempting to refuse.

“Heh, unfortunately for him, I don’t plan to let him go anytime soon. Now then, since that matter became clear, tell me the reason why you used, without my permission, my toy.”

“… Mistress, please forgive me. My desire overcame me.”

Again, Veyrith knelt on the ground while begging for mercy.

“jeee~, well, what to do?”

“…”

The truth was that Akihara was in a very good mood, in fact, she was happier than ever. There were many things, from the satisfying night Eryon gave her, to the sudden solution to her problems.

And the fact that Eryon wasn’t sent with other intentions was the last thing she needed to hear to brighten her day.

Truth be told, she felt in the mood to pick on her former protector, mentor and friend, and now servant, who was the most loyal person to her that she knew.

In fact, he didn’t mind that she had used Eryon without his permission. He could go easy on Veyrith.

“Just kidding, you don’t need to worry about that.”

“…”

Veyrith couldn’t believe it. She couldn’t remember how long it had been since she had seen her mistress so relaxed to even joke and smile sincerely.

In fact, if she thought about it, her mistress’s mood began to wane because of the problems she was having. Not infrequently, her mood softened because part of them were solved.

“In fact, you told me that he even seemed to be able to go on, even when I fainted, right? And considering what he did with you, even if it hurts my pride, it’s true that I can’t satisfy him, so I might need your help.”

“mistress, I, I’ll do my best.”

Veyrith felt like crying. Her mistress had truly returned to what she once was. Honestly, she was grateful to Eryon, and it was the first time in many years that Akihara really needed her. She could barely contain those great feelings she had.

“You know, that makes me wonder if he’s half Krixis. No, if I think about it, even they would have trouble with me, though maybe it’s a hybrid that makes him special and unique.”

“My lady, hybrids between two races are very rare and difficult to be born healthy. They rarely make it to adulthood, they are always 100% of one of the breeds of one of the parents.”

“But there are always exceptions, and that was what created your race, Veyrith, but as you say, it’s unlikely. It would be more likely to be a mutation of your species.”

“Master, there’s also that other option. You know, we are entering the age of the gods, and it is possible that cases like that will begin to appear, as the records show.”

“You’re talking about an ancestral throwback? That a demon takes on the characteristic of a once pure-blooded ancestor, right? And if I remember correctly, the Syrinthas come from the extinct incubi.”

“That is correct, mistress. It was said that the Syrinthas are also descendants of the incubus, which was a pureblood race of the highest status. Perhaps because of the ancestral throwback is why he has that unique appearance. That would also explain his strong libido and also why he had that reaction in you, my lady.”

“Hummm… it all seems to fit if it’s anything like that. Every way you look at it, it’s all a coincidence, that fate brought him to me.”

“….”

Veyrith again was impressed. That her mistress was talking about fated things was something she didn’t think she would ever hear from her, even if she was completely back to her old self .

“Okay, let’s end this here and stop looking at me like that or I’ll really punish you. Bring him here, we’ll find out how pure his blood is. We’ll see if he can replicate his feat from the night before.”

“Yes, mistress.”

*****

“Oh, this is good! Mmm, Verna, can you pack me an extra portion, please?”

I was eating the delicious food here. Maybe because in the morning I was so hungry I hadn’t thought I was eating, but now I realize that all the food had a theme that in my world could be considered oriental.

And it was for me, who used to be from the West, and who was reincarnated again in a Western culture, an exotic food that I had rarely tasted, and now the great variety gave me new experiences, thanks to how delicious it was. I definitely had to share it with Selene.

I was sure my little angel would like it. The desserts I also made sure to bring her and Elena. ice cream from the demonic realm of a distant continent. Not something I could find easily.

“And desserts too, if you can three sets of each, no, give me as many as you can bring me.”

“At your command, Eryon-sama.”

“Gaaa~! Coff…

Vey, where did you appear from?”

“I arrived just now, Eryon-sama. I will resume my duty. Verna, you may retire, you did a good job.”

“As you say, Veyrith-sama.”

“….”

Honestly, watching their interaction, with the distorted ’sama’ I wanted to hear and considering the theme of this mansion’s interior, their western maid dresses felt out of place.

But if I think about it, my taste for maids had also come from that culture. Also, I think I should stop playing with this perception since, they are mixing it up a bit, even if they are not directed at me. Hummm…

’well, it’s not like it matters , if I understand it clearly it’s fine’.

Well, let’s put that aside, as long as there were desserts to take to my girls, these little details don’t bother me.

“Eryon-sama, my mistress requests your presence again in her chamber… hum, do you think you are able to do it? If it’s not possible, I will try to convince my mistress to rest for today.”

Vey asked me the last part sounding a bit nervous. Maybe she thought I might have spent what I had on her and wouldn’t have the energy to deal with Akihara.

“Don’t worry, Vey. I won’t let Lady Akihara down, nor you I’m a man of my word.”

’Well, with my art giving me the energy I need, I’ve never felt a limit.’

[[Tsk, that’s not how it works, you damn monster.]]

’What, what did you say?’

[[…]]

’Hey, you wretch, did you come to insult me and leave? Tsk, I’ll deal with you later.’’

Yes as always she seems to have different ideas from what I understand how the, legacy works, it bothers me but since she told me many things today I will let it go, someday I will give her a body and make her pay for everything huehuehue.

[[filthy trash]]

’….’ although first I have to find a method for her not to read my mind.
