Let's go back to Oakhaven. Zulixa, I have to explain to Lyra why I didn't accept when her father wanted to give her hand to me. Teleport me, Zulixa.
Zulixa, why do you always teleport me to this park. You like it here.
You know, Zulixa, the smell of this city is something. The sound of busy people. The aroma from all those taverns.
Let's go to the royal palace and find Lyra.
Detection.
I found her.
What — you can detect someone inside the royal palace?
Yeah. Your level is something else now. You want to see it?
Right. Yeah I want to. After you changed to this form I never saw it. Please show me.
Fine. Fine. Don't cry about it. I'll show you whenever I want and you don't ask for it. When I show the system I have to use a lot of energy and I don't want to spend it on this.
Fine, just show me the full info. I'm dying to see it.
The system appeared in front of him.
Name — Liam
Level — 190 / ∞
Special Entity — Zulixa, Tier 1
Attribute — Dark Force + Light Force + Green Light
Unique Ability — Immortal + Reality Marble Sealed World + Dark Summon + Dark Manipulation + 199 More
It's so different. Zulixa I have 203 unique abilities. Hahaha and you're that full of yourself and you're only at Tier 1.
That's why you didn't want to show me.
You don't see your info again. Forever.
Fine fine I'm sorry. You're amazing, Miss Special Entity. Hahahaha.
Casting — Self Burn.
A fire appeared around his entire body.
AHHHH YOU BURNED ME YOU CRAZY—
Casting — Full Heal.
Thanks.
Let's go to Lyra. You said you detected her.
Zulixa, okay wait wait. I have to prepare the spell.
Prepare what, you want to prepare before casting a simple transport spell?
Transport.
Oh my god — Lyra I'm so sorry I didn't mean to come here like this sorry—
Lyra was in front of her mirror. She wore only a underwear. She spun around, grabbed a robe, put it on, and looked back at him.
Something like fire rose from her.
She grabbed a wooden stick and came at him. Hit after hit.
"First you decline me in front of everyone and now you come to my room to see me like this—"
Liam ran out the door.
Zulixa, HAHAHAHAHAHA — I told you to prepare the spell. Now look. You can't go anywhere without preparing first. You crazy maniac.
You knew she was about to change. You waited until she took her clothes off. You knew.
Lyra came out of the room.
"Lyra I'm sorry. The transport spell went wrong. Please forgive me."
"Fine. I know your spell did that."
"Lyra — I'm sorry I rejected your father's offer. I did it to protect you. Both you and your father. Your father understood me right away. If I accept now the nobles won't accept it. If they do something bad to both of you it's going to be my fault."
"Liam, do you think I didn't understand that? This is basic. A princess has to know these things. My father did it just to see if anyone would move against him. Now we know who is."
Oh. I'm glad.
"Liam. Your domain is ready. They built a big mansion for you. I handpicked ten girl servants and told them how to work in the castle. You want to go see it? It's going to be your home after all."
I'd love to. But ten servants isn't much?
Let's go.
Liam's domain sat behind the castle, connected to it. When King Alaric was young he never gave it to anyone. He wanted to give it to his son. But life works strangely. He had no son. He gave it to Liam.
They arrived at the mansion. A big garden and in the center the mansion itself. A guard at the door bowed.
"Welcome, Sir Liam. Princess Lyra."
Lyra held Liam's hand and opened the door.
Ten beautiful girl servants stood inside, five facing five.
"Welcome, Master Liam. To your new home."
Lyra holding his hand was just to show the servants who he was.
"Thank you girls. Don't call me Master. Liam is fine from now on."
The head maid stepped forward.
"No, Master Liam is better for us. I am Mina. Let me introduce them."
She gestured right to left.
"Ria, Yuna, Iris, Naya, Cleo, Sora, Mabel, Kira."
Sorry girls. It's going to take time to remember all your names.
"Master Liam, we are all experienced maids. We couldn't decide among ourselves who should be head maid. We left that choice to you."
But I don't know how to choose.
I know what to do.
"Come to me."
Luna and Nyx appeared and bowed.
"How can we serve."
Good. They hid their horns.
All the girls froze in shock.
"They are my first servants. The most loyal to me. From now on they are both your head maids. take care of me — all of you together."
"Lyra, it's going to be night soon. Why don't you stay for dinner. Girls, go prepare something."
Nyx and Luna. "As you command."
"Let's go to the dining room."
"Liam, I feel something strange about those girls. Are they human?"
"Don't tell anyone. They're not. They are demons. But don't be scared. They are so loyal to me. If I told them to kill themselves for me they would."
"A demon. For centuries humans didn't see any demon in this world. We saw so many in the war. You killed Malakor and those demons. It means they survived?"
"What do you mean they survived. Survived what?"
"I read in a history book that the demon race existed before, like humans. They were too many and their land was small. To survive they tried to take human land and other races' land. This created chaos in the world. But a hero appeared. A girl. So powerful she killed every demon. They say she killed so many that it took all the races together just to clear the bodies after. After that no one saw a demon again. Demon became just a name they used to scare children."
"Do you know this hero girl's name?"
"No. I searched for it but no one knows. Some say she was an elf. She never talked to anyone."
"Then what happened to her?"
"There are so many theories. No one knows the real one. Some say she died peacefully. Some say she is still watching this world. Some say god loved her so much he took her to his side. No one really knows."
"If she killed all those demons she was powerful. Maybe she is still alive. I would love to fight her."
"Master Liam, the food is ready. Bring it in, girls."
So many different foods. Who pays for all this. I don't have any money.
"Master Liam, every day the person who brings groceries for the royal castle brings for you too. The king pays for it. After all you are likely the future king of this country."
Luna and Nyx. "Well said, Mina. Our general and master is a king of kings." They bowed.
Lyra's face turned completely red. She didn't know what to do with her hands.
"Sorry Lyra. We can't do anything about it. People talk."
"Listen girls. Don't say that ever again. The king is healthy, he is good, he is powerful. No one needs another king. I don't want to hear it anymore, anywhere. You understand."
"Yes, Master."
"Let's eat Lyra. If I don't eat I'll sleep right here. You know how I love sleep."
After dinner.
"Lyra, give me your hand. I'll transport you to your room."
Ok I'm back. Where is my room. Ahh found it. Good night, Zulixa.
Good night.
"Wake up Liam. I will burn you if you don't."
"What do you need Zulixa. I don't have any work to do, any fight to go to. It's about time another general shows up. Let me be peaceful some day."
"I said wake up."
Casting. Burn.
"Ok ok. You are my nightmare sometimes you know.
Let's go eat something. Did they prepare breakfast for me."
Walking down the stairs.
Luna was speaking to all the maids.
"If one of you makes our master worry we will cook you and give you to the pigs."
"Wow wow Luna. Not like that."
"But Master—"
I told you. All of you work like sisters. Ok. I'm going to sleep again. Wake me up after one hour."
