Chapter 215: The Pope (Part 5)

"I would like to ask you, Prince Lius, to ascertain Bishop Anne's true feelings and inform me of them. Is that alright?" Rosalind said to the blond boy in front of her in a sincere tone.

Lius also slightly raised his head, seemingly pondering Rosalind's words to him, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

"To find the truest part of Aunt Anne's heart? Hmm... I think I already know." "Hmm? Young Master Lius, you... already know?"

Upon hearing Lius's words, Rosalind's gaze instantly became more serious, and she asked with a hint of urgency.

"Yes, although I don't know much about Aunt Anne's past, I do know her truest self very well."

With a very serious expression, Lius nodded, and then, under Rosalind's slightly expectant gaze, softly stated his conclusion:

"Based on my own understanding of Aunt Anne, her true personality is actually very good." Hmm?

Hearing Lius's sudden words, Rosalind glanced at him, paused briefly, and then let out a soft, puzzled hum. Lius, however, deliberately ignored Rosalind's bewildered expression and continued stating his conclusion:

"During the day, Aunt Annie is gentle and virtuous, and seems very serious. She doesn't make any excessive jokes. But once it's evening and she's alone with me... she shows a side of herself that I've never seen before."

"You...Young Master Lius, what are you talking about? What does this have to do with what I just said..." Of course it's related! Didn't you say you wanted to know Aunt Anne's true personality? I told you, Lady Rosalind, what I saw. When Aunt Anne is with me at night, she acts very lewd, her face is always flushed, and she makes very seductive sounds, it's very alluring."

The more Lius spoke, the more interested he became.

Especially now, looking at the white-robed young woman in front of him, through the gap between her mask and hood, he could see some skin glowing with a rosy hue. This showed that Rosalind was also somewhat embarrassed by his words, revealing a sense of shame unique to this beautiful female pope, which was very exciting to look at.

Therefore, Leus's words became increasingly "excessive," and he continued enthusiastically to the pope before him, who was suppressing her inner turmoil:

“Aunt Annie often comes to see me on weekday evenings and we go on dates alone. She might change into clothes that suit my taste and strike me in all sorts of captivating poses so I can really feel her charm. Sometimes she even gets so close to me that she's both enthusiastic and bold.”

You... what nonsense are you spouting! Why bring this up at a time like this! I have absolutely no interest in what's going on between you two! Shut your mouth!

As Rosalind listened to Lius's words, her reaction became increasingly obvious, and she repeatedly refuted Lius.

Her originally calm tone finally showed some fluctuations, looking awkward and anxious. Under the blush on her face, there was even a sense of tantrum, which sounded quite cute.

"Oh? Ms. Rosalind, you don't want to listen anymore? If that's the case, then I won't say anything more. After all, you already know the truest side of Aunt Anne's heart, so I don't need to describe it in such detail."

Lius waved his hand, then revealed a mischievous smile, and added to Rosalind, "Furthermore, if Ms. Rosalind would like to see these traits more clearly, I wouldn't mind if you came to visit our manor. Aunt Anne and I will then express our affection to you together, and I'm sure Aunt Anne will be happy to show us these good qualities."

As Rosalind blushed even more as Lius teased her with his words, her face turned even redder.

Despite her efforts to control her emotions, Leus's words, like a quill pen, relentlessly stirred her heart, leaving the long-abstinent pope in a state of incoherence. "You...you stop talking nonsense! What kind of depraved act is this, defying the will of God! You say this is Bishop Anne's true character, how could she be so frivolous? Young Master Leus, if you don't want to investigate, just say so directly, don't try to mislead and provoke me with such words!"

“I’m not trying to humiliate you in any way. I’m just trying to answer your own questions, Ms. Rosalind. I’m being very serious. To me, Aunt Anne’s personality is just like that—gentle and very alluring. Do you, Ms. Rosalind, want to deny these qualities?”

Looking at Lius's "innocent" expression, Rosalind, who had originally wanted to argue further, froze, seemingly unsure how to continue speaking to the boy before her. She could only sit there with a trembling mouth, clenching her fists to control her emotions. Taking a few deep breaths, Rosalind bit her lip, forcing herself to calm down. When she looked up again, her eyes had barely regained their composure. She shook her head and said to Lius:

What you just said... is not worth mentioning at all. I want to know the dark side of Annie's heart. If I can understand her dark side, I might be able to find out why I had that uneasy feeling about her back then.

"Aunt Anne's dark side? I remember when Ms. Diana or Lilith were with me, Aunt Anne would sometimes sneak up behind us and try to get in between us to prevent them from cheating on me. Wouldn't that kind of jealousy count as a dark side?" Young Master Leus! Be serious.

In a rather serious tone, Rosalind frowned and spoke to Lius, who coughed lightly a few times and nodded to the white-robed pope in front of him.

"Okay, okay, I'm serious, but these things can't be investigated in a short time. Even if you ask me to investigate the dark side, I don't know how to make Aunt Annie show that kind of expression. In short, don't have too many expectations of me."

"Hmph... I am aware of these things. Today, I just wanted to leave you with something to remember me by. If anything happens in the future, please remember my words."

With that, Rosalind finished her tea in one gulp, then stood up from her seat with Lius and walked outside together. She led Lius out of the church and escorted him all the way to the church door.

"I have gained a lot from coming here today. Thank you, Ms. Rosalind, for telling me these things. I will pay close attention to them in the future."

Standing outside the church, looking through the two nuns at the door again, Lius and Rosalind faced each other as he bid them farewell.

Rosalind nodded slightly, casting sunlight through the heavy white hood onto Lius's face to observe him once more before withdrawing her gaze. She said nothing more, simply bowing slightly as a farewell.

"Well then, farewell, Prince Leus. I hope that when we meet again, you will be able to tell me more about Bishop Anne." And so, Leus's investigation of the Church came to a temporary end.

He originally wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Roy, who was about to arrive, but considering the current situation, he decided not to get too involved in the matter. He quickened his pace and returned to Ma Jizhong. He entered the carriage and began his journey back to the mansion. "Brother is back! How was it? Did those people give you any trouble? Are you injured? Do you need Lia to check you out?"

Upon seeing Lius return, Lia cheered and jumped onto him. Before Lius could speak, she began to examine his body with a serious expression. Her enthusiastic manner surprised Irina, who was standing nearby.

"Wow... Miss Lia, you really care about Lius!" Of course, hehe, I'm my brother's favorite little sister, so I have to reciprocate his affection properly. "Lia said smugly, then looked at Irina with a mischievous grin, wiping Lius's face with a handkerchief while reminding Irina behind her:

"Actually, Ms. Irina, you can do that too. My brother really likes hugs from girls. For him, it's a way to relieve fatigue. He often does this at home."

"Should you do this often?" Irina glanced at Lius, who was being held by Lia, and couldn't help but swallow. Lia smiled and nodded, moving aside to make room for Irina.

“Ms. Irina, please come along. Let’s serve our brother well and help him relax.” Feeling Lia’s invitation and seeing the absorbed expression on Lius’s face, Irina swallowed slightly, finally nodded, and took a step forward, joining the girl who was about ten years younger than her in the boy’s arms.

Hehe, brother, you have a new fragrance on you. Did you come into contact with the nuns inside? No, no, we can't let that fragrance taint you. We have to replace it with Lia's scent. Come closer, brother, let Lia give you a massage.

Leaning on Lius's shoulder, Lia smiled and kneaded the boy's shoulders with her two delicate hands, "soaking" her scent into him.

Meanwhile, Leus, comforted by Lia's soothing words, stretched comfortably and, with his stepsister massaging him and the high priest embracing him, slowly spoke to the two of them:

"Actually, I haven't met many people. I just met with Ms. Rosalind and we chatted briefly. Nothing too intimate happened. Don't be jealous, little Leah!"

Hmm? Rosalind could be... Her Highness the Pope?

Upon hearing Lius's words, Irina abruptly raised her head and looked at Lius with surprise: "Lius, you... met directly with Her Majesty the Pope?"

"Of course, well... maybe she wanted to meet me anyway, so she came down to greet me as soon as she saw me arrive. It's nothing. If you, Irina, also want to meet her, you can bring yourself along next time."

As he said this, Lius smiled at Irina, seemingly finding her coy embrace quite adorable. So, while speaking, he simply took Irina into his arms, aimed at her delicate, rosy lips, and leaned closer as he spoke.

"Alright. Another sneak attack like that, Lis, you really are something. Alright." Hehe, consider this a reward for you, Irina, so accept it properly! It's also a promise between us; next time, after everything is over, I'll introduce you to the Pope and introduce you properly."

Lius smiled and continued to "tease" Irina's lips, making her blush and sway her body, immersed in this gushing onslaught.

"Brother," Lia said, shaking Lius's shoulder. The white-haired girl puffed out her cheeks and leaned close to Lius's face, gently pursing her lips and speaking expectantly. Lius, after kissing Irina, pressed his lips to Lia's, beginning his love affair with his adopted sister.

"With the sounds of kissing spreading throughout the carriage, a warm and ambiguous atmosphere permeated the space."

Lia felt the touch on her lips, gently closed her eyes, and used all her strength to serve Lius. Her delicate little tongue was flexible and varied, lingering and tender, which made Lius enjoy it very much. Irina was also watching the two of them together, looking very serious, as if trying to learn some experience from them.

"Wow... So that's how it is... I could definitely do it better."

With this thought in mind, Irina leaned closer again, and together with Lia, they entered Lius's lips and teeth, giving him a joint service. "Hmm, the journey is long, and the time to get home is still quite long."

Chapter 216: Preparations Before the Battle (Part 1)

The carriage sped along the road, passing through mountains and fields, and soon left the capital city behind, passing through towns of all sizes, and returning along the same road that Lius had originally taken.

Time flew by as I listened to the constant thunder of horses' hooves.

A day passed, and in the early hours of the next day, as the faint light of dawn shone down from afar, the three finally arrived at the border of Lius's territory.

"Alright, that's enough for now, Lius. Just let me get off here. I can get to the monastery by myself, don't worry."

Arriving at a fork in the road leading to the monastery, Irina gestured for the carriage to stop. "Are you leaving already? Won't you let us see you off a little further?" Lius asked.

"No need. The rest of the journey isn't far. If you go there, it would be too troublesome to explain why I suddenly appeared with you. Besides, going to the monastery would also delay your own schedule, Lius. In that case, you don't need to take care of me too much. I can take care of myself."

As she said this, Irina stood in front of the car door, slowly waving goodbye to the blond boy inside. Then, somewhat shyly, she leaned close to his ear and whispered something to Lius:

"Also... if Leus wants to find me to... relax, whether physically or mentally, I'm always welcome."

"Oh? Is this your invitation, Irina? As your partner?" Lius said with a smile. "Well..." He swallowed slightly, and when he looked up again, Irina's eyes shone with a bittersweet yet determined look. "That's right. Lius, you can contact me anytime. Once things are settled, we can think about our future marriage together."

"Ha, you're so looking forward to it? Then I'll have to prepare well from now on. Be careful on your journey, Irina."

After bidding farewell to the gray-haired chief inspector, Lius and Lia continued their journey toward the mansion, arriving inside just as the sun was high in the sky.

"Finally back... Phew, I've been away from home for a week. I wonder how the mansion is doing. Why didn't Aunt Annie and the others come out to greet me?"

Stretching, Lius slowly stepped down from the carriage and looked along the road beside him, where he spotted three maids walking towards him.

"Master, you are back."

The head maid was Luli, who maintained her usual dignified and proper demeanor as she walked to the carriage and personally helped Lius and Lia down from the carriage. Every move she made carried the seriousness and propriety of a maid in a manor. Behind Luli, Olivia and Xiaoyou followed slowly. When they saw Lius, the two of them leaned forward slightly and bowed deeply to him.

"Welcome home, Master."

"Hmm, you two seem to have gotten used to life in the mansion. It seems you've been taught quite well by Lu Li, and you're basically in the same boat as Lu Li was at the beginning. Keep it up, and you'll reach Lu Li's level sooner or later. It's all thanks to your teaching, Lu Li. Thank you for your hard work."

Looking at Luli, Lius smiled and praised her. Luli blushed slightly and nodded modestly to Lius.

All of this is to serve the young master. As long as they have this care for the young master, they can naturally grow up quickly. Come, please go back to your room to rest. We have already made up the bedding and prepared breakfast for you. If you need anything, you are welcome to come and enjoy it at any time.

"Let's eat later. Lu Li, go and gather some people for me. There's still work to do later. Xiao You, you can come along too. I might need your help then."

“Read? My help” Xiaoyou blinked slightly, looking somewhat surprised, while Luli next to her also showed a hesitant look, as if she was worried about Lius’s current state.

“But…Young Master, didn’t you just get back? You must be exhausted from traveling so long. In that case, I think you should rest for a while and work again when you’ve regained your energy…” Now is not the time to rest. Don’t worry, Lu Li, I slept for a long time in the car. If I kept sleeping, my brain would go numb. Now is the perfect time to go to work. Don’t worry about me overworking myself.”

Lius patted Luli on the shoulder and said this, trying to reassure her. After a slight hesitation, Luli gestured to Olivia, who was following behind her, and told her to go to Lius's side.

"Ms. Olivia, I'm entrusting the young master to your care. If he needs anything, please let me know immediately, understand?"

"Yes, Miss Luli, I can definitely do it."

With a serious tone, the black-haired beauty nodded slightly, then, maintaining a dignified posture, stepped behind Lius, like his personal maid, keeping a close distance from him so that the young man could feel the woman's soft fragrance, which was quite intoxicating. "Then, young master, if you need any help with any work, just come and find me. Lu Li guarantees that she can complete the tasks assigned by the young master well and will definitely not disappoint the young master's expectations."

“Lulli, I have complete confidence in your abilities. Go quickly and gather all the maids. I have some announcements to make in a moment.” Lius waved his hand, signaling Luli to leave. But just before Luli turned around, he suddenly remembered something and asked her further, “By the way, where are Aunt Anne and Lilith? I haven’t seen them since I got back.”

"Oh, Ms. Anne and the others... They're in the backyard right now. It seems Miss Lililith is going to test the potions and magic she's researched, so she wants Ms. Anne and Ms. Diana to watch. They should still be on display right now."

"Magic... It seems Lilith has really figured something out. Okay, I'll go check it out later."

Lius nodded slightly, waved for Luli to leave his sight, then turned his gaze to Olivia beside him, beckoning her closer to him. "Master, is there anything you need me to do?"

Levita, maintaining her taciturn yet dignified demeanor, spoke respectfully to Leus, who, in a voice only he and Olivia could hear, asked the voluptuous, dark-haired beauty:

"Regarding the tasks I gave you, Olivia, about monitoring those two, did you find anything?" "What did I find?" Olivia tilted her head slightly, seemingly pondering Lius's question. When she finally looked at the blond boy in front of her again, her eyes already held her answer.

"We found nothing. The two of them are currently... there's nothing about them that needs to be noticed. They're just carrying out their daily routines, which is perfectly normal."

"Is it normal...? Really, nothing strange happened?" Lius frowned and continued to ask. "That's right... I've disappointed you, Master. I haven't found the answer you're seeking, and I'm currently unable to resolve your troubles. This is my dereliction of duty as a maid, and I beg you to punish me." "No, this is enough. Not finding anything during surveillance is the answer I wanted."

Surprisingly, Lius did not show any disappointment. He simply nodded slightly to Olivia and patted her on the shoulder as a gesture of comfort.

"Hmm? Master, you don't blame me?"

Upon hearing Lius's words, Olivia looked surprised, seemingly taken aback by Lius's decision. Then, she thoughtfully stroked her chest, gently pressing her fingers against its rounded shape.

She seemed to have just prepared herself to be "punished" by Leus, but things didn't go as she expected. She lost the chance to be "punished" by Leus, leaving the expressionless, dark-haired beauty with a feeling of lingering dissatisfaction.

Um... Olivia, are you disappointed?

Looking at the beautiful black-haired woman who seemed to have something to say, Leus asked with some surprise.

"No... I'm fine. It's just that... you punished me last time, Master, but you don't want to do it again this time. Could it be... that you're showing me mercy? Those words you just said were just to comfort me and soothe my heart that's upset because of the mission failure." No, I'm not making excuses to deliberately be considerate of you, Olivia. You did a great job on the surveillance mission, which met my expectations. I also found the answer I was looking for. That's really it. Relax, relax.

As Lius comforted Olivia, he looked helpless and kept talking to her until she calmed down a bit. Then he looked up again and continued to look towards the mansion. "Right now... it will take some time for the maids to gather. Let's go see how Lilith and the others are doing. Lia, come with me."

"Okay! Leah is coming right now."

Watching the maids moving back and forth in the garden, Lius gently waved to Lia, who was waiting behind him. Lia nodded obediently and hopped along behind Lius like a little rabbit, hugging his right arm tightly and pressing herself close to her beloved Lord K.

"Hehe. Lord K's arm feels so good, hehe ha, Lia, you look at this very clingy little white cat, Lius once again showed a helpless smile, just about to rub the girl's little head, but just as he was about to raise his left arm, he felt a new sense of pressure appear in his arm.

"Ok?"

Turning around, he saw Olivia mimicking Lia's movements, pressing her voluptuous figure against her arms, her slender hands tightly embracing Lius's upper body, pressing half of her body against it, giving Lius a very substantial feeling.

"Olivia, what's wrong with you?"

"For my master, Olivia still has a lot to learn. Imitating Miss Lia is one way I'm learning to please my master. My figure should be quite to your liking, so... please enjoy it."

"This...it is indeed very comfortable, but being held so tightly by the two of you, I can hardly move. Could you loosen your grip a little, instead of holding on so tightly..." Leus said, while Lia, standing beside him, pouted slightly in dissatisfaction, not only showing no sign of loosening her grip, but instead holding on even tighter.

"No, brother! You've already spent so much time with so many girls, and you haven't had much time to get close to Lia in the carriage. Now Lia wants to make up for all that lost time, so she won't let go."

"Then Olivia can loosen her grip a little, right?"

“Olivia is to imitate Miss Lia’s actions. This is what Miss Luli taught me before, to imitate those around me and find ways to please my master. This is Olivia’s job. Please cooperate with Olivia’s actions, Master.”

With a serious tone and expression, Olivia said this, and her arms tightened their embrace around Lius's body, causing Lius to sway back and forth.

"Ha, is this all there is to it?" Hearing the two beauties' "righteous" words and feeling the soft touch on his arm, Lius finally "accepted" his current situation.

"In that case, you two should keep up with me and be careful not to fall over. Otherwise, in our current positions, if we fall, we'll all fall together and become a laughing stock if the maids see us."

"Okay~ Don't worry, big brother, Lia will cooperate well with your actions, hehe!"

"Olivia will also maintain a tacit understanding with Master, so please travel with peace of mind."

And so, despite the awkwardness, in his swaying and staggering manner, Leus dragged the two beauties "entwined" around his arms and walked step by step forward toward the training ground in the backyard, to watch the practice taking place there...
