Chapter 144 The Entrustment from the Harem (Part 1)
"Brother! Brother! Lia's here! (^▽^ )"
After a while, the first one to come down the stairs was little Lia, who was swinging her long white hair and taking light steps.
At this moment, she skipped and hopped to Leus's side, a smile of excitement on her face. She threw herself into his arms, rubbing against the boy's chest like a kitten, and repeatedly greeting Leus:
"Good evening, elder brother. Didn't you take a nap this afternoon? I remember you were with Lia when I was putting her to sleep, but you weren't there when she woke up. Did you go to work?"
"Yes, I'm sorry, Lia. I was hoping to get some sleep with you, but I have some other things to take care of, so I'll have to let you rest alone for now."
Leus stroked Leah's little head, smiled gently at her, and continued:
"I'm sorry, Lia, I couldn't spend more time with you. Let's do it next time. If I have time next time, I'll take a nap with you and make it up to you."
"Brother, there's no need to apologize. Lia knows that you already have a lot of work to do, and you still had to come all the way to keep us company. You must be very tired. We should be thanking you. Come, let Lia give you a good shoulder massage to help relieve the pressure from your work this afternoon."
As she said this, the girl giggled and leaned on Lius's shoulder, massaging him with her delicate fingers while gently twitching her little nose, seemingly sniffing the lingering scent of his toiletries.
"Hehe, my brother smells so good... Did you take a shower before? It smells like shower gel, it smells so nice, I wish I could smell it forever."
Just as Leah was engrossed in sniffing, two more figures with long, flowing golden hair came down the stairs outside. They were Diana and Lilith, who had also just woken up.
"Phew... I slept for too long, my head hurts... Hmm?"
As Lilith slowly descended the stairs and entered the dining room, she yawned and muttered to herself. At the same time, she noticed the group of people sitting at the table and blinked slightly.
"Eh? It's the young master, and also Teacher Annie and Leah. When did you wake up? Have you been here for a long time?"
"No, I just woke up. It hasn't been long. Good afternoon, Lilith. Have you and Ms. Diana had enough sleep? Would you like to rest a little longer?"
Looking at Lilith, Leus smiled and spoke to her, while Lilith waved her hand slightly and stretched:
"Hoo... No, no, I've slept for too long, I feel like my body doesn't even belong to me anymore... Hey, young master, don't just stand there watching, don't you notice how sleepy I am? I want some coffee, hurry up and make me a cup."
"Oh? Coffee?"
Faced with Lilith's instruction, Leus blinked in surprise, while Lilith continued to cover her wide-open mouth with her hand, adopting the demeanor of a complete young lady, and leisurely walked into the restaurant, looking quite relaxed. She then casually pointed in Leus's direction and gave the following instructions:
"Yes, coffee. I want the best coffee in the manor, with 30% milk, four spoonfuls of sugar, and a slice of lemon. It has to be a fragrant lemon from the Cordico region. These are the usual things in my house. Young master, you must serve me well."
"Such high standards... Ms. Diana really spoils you, Lilith..."
Looking at the yawning blonde girl with twin ponytails, Leus smiled helplessly and continued to complain about her:
"With so many demands, why not just go find a maid? What, do you now expect me, the master, to serve you personally? Lilith, you have quite the status."
"Oh? What, young master, you're not willing?"
Gently opening her sleepy eyes, Lilith's eyes gleamed with a mischievous glint as she approached Leus, a slight wicked smile playing on her lips.
"Hehe, what's the comfort of ordering around a maid compared to ordering around you, young master? Didn't you say before that you were willing to love me wholeheartedly? Shouldn't you fulfill your duties as a lover and take good care of me now?"
“It is true that I love you, Lilith, but there should be a proper order of precedence. Lia came to me first, so naturally I should take good care of her. Besides, in terms of hierarchy, you also have Ms. Diana with you, right? If anyone should be taken care of, it should be your mother first. That's the proper way, isn't it, Lilith?”
Looking in Lilith's direction, Leus smiled and said, while Lilith pouted, hugged her chest, and let out a soft hum, seemingly still wanting more.
"Hmph... Young Master, your sweet talk does have some merit. Alright, after everyone else is done, it will be my turn. I want coffee brewed by you personally, and I want you to feed me yourself. Only when you serve me well will I be satisfied."
"Alright, alright, as the host, I should also make sure to satisfy this lovely guest. Come, sit down and have a meal. The coffee will be ready in a little while."
Levi invited Lilith to sit beside him, gently stroking her head. Lilith twisted her body, enjoying the warm touch from above, closing her eyes to savor it, and softly humming a soft murmur.
"Hmm... Young Master's caresses feel pretty good. It's almost addictive to keep feeling them like this..."
After muttering these words to herself, Lilith reopened her eyes, looked up at the boy who was a head taller than her, blushed, and continued to hum softly:
"Also... regarding what you just said, young master, when did I become a guest? Right now, both I and my mother have already been 'taken into your possession,' so you can't really call us guests."
Lilith leaned closer to Leus, gently puffed out her lips, and kissed his cheek, letting the sweet scent of peaches fill the boy's mind.
"Gulu...Gulu..."
The evocative sound of water echoed between the two, and as they parted, the blush on the girl's face intensified.
Lilith savored the moist traces on her bright red lips, completely absorbed in the moment. Her small hands grasped Lius's collar, pressing him close to her, maintaining a distance where she could feel his breath, as she slowly uttered shy words.
"So, shouldn't you stop considering me now? Whether as my future 'father' or as my current...husband... "
"Gu..."
Hearing the address Lilith used, Leus swallowed hard, his heart pounding faster. Diana, standing beside him, smiled as she watched her daughter confess her love to her husband. She leaned closer, took Leus's arm, and showed him her own affection...

"Lilith, and Diana, what's going on with you two...?"
Gazing at the two breathtaking beauties beside him, Leus swallowed hard. With a fluctuating heart, he gently stroked them, a hint of excitement on his face.
Lilith and Dinah continued to press closer to Lius, their breathing quickening, each displaying a different expression. Dinah was virtuous and seductive, while Lilith was shy and coy. The two exuded different charms, each using their alluring bodies to please the young man.
"My mother and I... of course we'll serve you well, young master. It's our duty as wives, after all, we're your partners now, aren't we? You said before that we're your family, so..."
Lilith paused, a hint of shyness and excitement in her eyes, then pouted slightly and said earnestly:
"So...Young Master, shouldn't you treat us like family now? Don't treat us like outsiders anymore, otherwise my mother and I will be very sad, don't you think, my dear husband..."
Holding Lius's shoulders tightly, Lilith gently swayed against him, letting out sweet and ambiguous breaths, using this alluring term to show the important place Lius held in her heart at this moment.
On the other side, as Diana approached, her face also flushed, and she exuded a weary air. With a slight smile, she leaned on Lius's other shoulder, and she and her daughter each embraced the boy on either side.
"My dear, I feel the same way. I want to stay by your side. Don't forget the promise we made. We'll have a date soon, just the two of us, without anyone to bother us. I'll show you what it means to be a good partner. Please look forward to it, my love!"
The voices of the young woman and the girl flowed into Lius's ears at the same time, and the shared address gave him a unique sense of excitement no matter when he heard it.
The alluring sound, coupled with the two different tactile sensations on his arm—the contrast between barrenness and fullness—conveyed into Lius's mind, further highlighting the gap between the parent and child.
But no matter what kind of figure a person has, Lius likes them all the same. Whether they are thin or voluptuous, their allure to him is undiminished.
"what……"
At this moment, Lius closed his eyes contentedly, savoring the sensation. Lia, who was in front of him, continued to lean against his chest, sat cross-legged, and then hugged his waist tightly with both arms. Together with the two mothers and daughters beside him, they indulged in intimate interactions with the boy in front of them.
"Hehe, elder brother...hehe..."
"Ha ha……"
All of this was observed by Annie, which brought a smile to the face of the dark-haired young woman.
She seemed to be extremely pleased and eager for this scene, but she did not take any action at the moment. She simply watched the people opposite her with an interested smile, took a sip of the black tea in front of her, and let the fragrance surround her.
After about ten minutes, everyone separated and took their seats.
Next came the maids, who came in from outside and served the prepared dishes to each master for everyone to enjoy.
Among these people, besides Luli who had woken up from her nap in Lius's room and resumed her work, there were also Olivia and Xiaoyou. At this moment, the two of them had also mingled into the maid group, each nodding slightly in Lius's direction and exchanging glances as a way of greeting him.
"..."
Lius nodded silently, waved his hand gently, signaling the two women to come to his side, and while the others were busy eating dinner, he quietly whispered to them:
"Olivia, have you taken care of the things I asked you to do?"
"Yes, Master, I have already set up the necessary surveillance. You can check on the situation of the person you are monitoring whenever you need to."
Olivia nodded slightly, her full breasts swaying gently, looking particularly alluring in her maid outfit. Leus stared at the seductive curves for a few moments before turning to look at Xiaoyou beside him.
"Xiaoyou, how are your studies going with Luli? Have you learned anything useful?"
"Reporting to Master, I learned a lot from Miss Luli and then discovered something very important."
"Oh? Something important? What is it?" Lius asked curiously.
"The work of a maid is really very important. It includes taking care of your daily life, master, and managing all aspects of the mansion. Everything is closely related to your life. If any link goes wrong, it will have a huge impact. Therefore, taking care of you is the most important duty of a maid. You absolutely cannot make any mistakes."
As she spoke, Xiaoyou's face became unusually serious. She crossed her arms over her chest and spoke earnestly to the boy in front of her.
“Miss Lu Li taught me a lot about taking care of Master. For example, she told me everything about Master’s favorite three meals a day, when he usually goes to sleep, and what temperature the water should be when he takes a bath. She also told me about Master’s quirks when serving him at night… Now I understand them all completely…”
With a shy blush, Xiaoyou licked her lips slightly, and her delicate toes wiggled a few times under the round-toed high heels, as if feeling the restlessness coming from the soles of her feet, making this shy girl seem particularly uneasy.
"Therefore, I hope you will continue to learn from me, Master. Although I have made preparations, this is my first time, so please bear with me. I promise to learn from my experience in our interactions so that you can make me feel comfortable."
"This... Lu Li really taught you a lot..."
Seeing the girl's shy yet eager expression, Lius smiled awkwardly, gently patted Xiaoyou's head, then patted her back, signaling her to continue with her other work. He then looked at Olivia and began to talk to her about the things they hadn't finished discussing earlier.
"Olivia, according to your expectations, how long until the formation is activated?" Lius asked in a low voice.
“It will definitely be activated within a month,” Olivia replied softly, her tone carrying an undeniable certainty.
"Within a month... If I want to meet those black-robed cultists and find traces of them, is that enough time?"
"If Master is willing to use a more dangerous method, that will suffice."
"Oh? A more dangerous method?"
Lius raised his head, looking at Olivia with an inquiring gaze, while Olivia gently crouched down to face him and confided her innermost thoughts:
"Yes, at this point in time, there is little chance of finding the person through the methods I mentioned earlier, such as contacting others. Even if it were possible, it wouldn't be able to resolve the matter so quickly. Therefore, I do not recommend that you continue to use this method, Master."
"So, Olivia, what's your suggestion...?"
“I suggest that the master take the initiative to publish the results of his investigation and publicize them widely. On the one hand, the members of the cult will no longer be able to hide these things, which can prevent some people from attacking the master behind his back. On the other hand... it can also make the master come to the attention of the cult. At that time, the master can take the opportunity to find out the cult's whereabouts and be contacted by them.”
Olivia looked intently at Leus and shared her thoughts with him. Leus, in turn, frowned as he pondered the words of the dark-haired beauty before him, considering the feasibility of these plans.
"Publicizing one's actions... will inevitably make one a target of public criticism, which will have a huge impact on both the Black Robe Cultists and the Kingdom. There will definitely be more variables, especially at this point in time, which will make one very constrained."
Such thoughts lingered in Lius's mind, making him hesitate for a moment. Especially when he looked at Lia and the others eating nearby, a sense of worry rose in his heart, making him unwilling to act rashly.
"Master, are you hesitating? Are you worried that it might affect the ladies around you?"
At this moment, Olivia, who was standing nearby, also noticed the troubled look on Lius's face. After thinking for a moment, she understood the reason for Lius's strange behavior and continued to speak to him:
"Actually, even if you, Master, don't want to take any more action, the Church has already set its sights on you. I could sense some of the Church's movements earlier. They are narrowing down their search area and constantly exploring you. If this continues, you will be found sooner or later."
"Hmm? Is someone following me?"
Upon hearing Olivia's reminder, Leus blinked, instantly recalling the series of premonitions he had experienced on the journey, which made his gaze become even more serious...
Chapter 146 The Entrustment from the Harem (Part 3)
"So, Olivia, you mean... my whereabouts are about to be exposed, right?"
Looking at Olivia, Leus repeated her earlier conclusion, and Olivia nodded vigorously, giving Leus her most accurate answer:
"Yes, Master, I can clearly sense their presence."
Olivia gently placed her hand on her chest, took a deep breath, and then a phantom appeared before Lius, showing him scenes in a shimmering manner that only he could see.
Lius realized that this was a place that Olivia had explored before, and a place he had visited previously.
In these scenes, shortly after they left, the figures of the black-robed cultists slowly emerged from the shadows beneath the trees.
They emerged from a shadowy figure, like water droplets gradually condensing, transforming from a shadowy figure into a real girl dressed in black robes. They arrived at the wheel tracks where Lius had once passed, bent down, and carefully examined the tracks.
"..."
After circling around a few times, these people stood up again, nodded to each other, and then disappeared again like phantoms, leaving no trace, as if they had never existed in the first place, which made Lius feel a strange sense of unease.
"Is this their trace? To be able to disappear without a trace so quickly, their power is truly not to be underestimated..."
"Yes, Master. Recently, wherever I have been, I can detect the marks left by their disappearance of magic."
Olivia nodded slightly, then continued to explain to Leus:
"Although these traces of magic are very subtle, I can still detect them and have made some deductions. The cultists are not far from discovering that you, Master, are manipulating the situation behind the scenes. We must take immediate action."
"If that's the case... then we really shouldn't continue to hide our whereabouts."
At Olivia's words, Leus nodded slightly, then looked at the other young women at the table. Seeing Levia and the others chatting and laughing, Leus frowned and sighed softly.
"Sigh... But if we were to make these deeds public, it would inevitably cause a lot of trouble, especially for Leah and the others. I don't know if we could take care of them in the current situation."
"Is Master worried about the ladies? No need to worry, as long as I am here, your safety will be guaranteed. Please entrust everything to me."
