‘It would have been far easier if Lord Benjamin didn’t say a word until his sister got home with the family, but this might become a rather big issue if Lily is troublesome.’ Lucius thought. ‘Not that it will be difficult to deal with, just a pain in the head.’

“And why can’t I?” Lily replied.

“Obviously there’s no reason too. And it’s not like I’d like to have you around with me. That means that I’ll have to take care of you.”

Lily frowned at her brother, but then cleared her throat and turned to Lord Asher.

“Lord Asher… what kind of work will my brother be doing? Perhaps I can do a better job than him.” Lily said.

Lucius’s brows raised slightly at the declaration, while Benjamin frowned. “Hey, that’s not a very nice thing to say, Lily.”

“Your brother will be doing a lot of administrative work. It is something that he has learned from Baron Hugh as his successor.” Lucius said.

“Well… you know what they say, or rather, what my father says whenever people ask him how he manages Etara’s Cross effectively. It is because of the support of my mother and I have learned a great deal from her as well.” Lily said.

Benjamin clicked his tongue, but didn’t say anything. Honestly, he wanted to chide his sister for speaking up too much, but there were a few thoughts in his head.

‘I am quite sure that my father and mother would both like Lily to marry Lord Asher, and they are trying to do it by pushing the image of Lily being a pure, sweet and demure maiden, but that’s not the case. So, the fact that Lord Asher is seeing Lily’s true personality now is a far better indicator of what he can expect from my sister and wouldn’t get duped.’ Benjamin thought.

Even though Benjamin’s loyalties were supposed to lie with his family and their methods of elevating themselves up the rank and making Etara’s Cross prosperous, at the moment, he felt very firm with his ideals.

Lord Asher provided him an opportunity and a chance to make something for himself.

‘It is… early to say, and Lord Asher has been quite friendly and amicable, but I think it is important to uphold friendship over that of women, even if that woman is my sister.’ Benjamin thought.

‘Hmm, I know that a woman dedicated to her goals can be quite… incessantly too much. And a woman scorned is rather a headache.’ Lucius thought.

He didn’t need to think back too much to realize how he ended up here in the first place. It was Mira’s influence that brought him here into this world when the power to become the strongest in his world occurred.

‘However, it does mean that as long as the tool is used properly and there have been preparations done, then the tool will simply remain a tool and cannot be wielded against you.’

The Mark of Obedience and the Mark of Loyalty were something that Lucius had used freely at his disposal. 

Unfortunately, these tools of his had been completely out of the question when it was with Mira. She was from the same clan and was a True Blood and would have realized the effects of the spell constructs even before they finished.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

The issues that occurred before would not happen again in this world. Lucius learned far too well from his mistakes to repeat them.

“The Baroness has trained you?” Lucius asked.

“Yes!” Lily nodded proudly. “In fact… well, while my brother is truly an intellectual due to his Gift, it does not mean that he can do everything by himself. He is actually quite hopeless in everything else.”

Benjamin wished to not be embarrassed at this hour and was already throwing daggers at Lily, who wouldn’t stop.

‘I do not think Lord Asher will consider it truly. My sister is just being herself again. But with how Lord Asher is being silent… it’s like he’s almost considering it.’

‘She’s not actually bad with her manner of skills in speaking, and her beauty does attract the eye of others. Hmm… I have already done a lot of advertising for Humble Blaze using tactics, but not exactly that of aesthetics and I could go that route. She could be the person who engages with clients and softens them… but of course, this all depends once again on whether the Baron and Baroness will be willing to let her go. Either way, she could be of value.’

Lucius thought.

‘I have killed my own siblings by hand, but the hostility is not the case here for this two. They might be able to work together effectively and bring more time for me which is my valuable resource. I have to finalize the deal with in regards to the Masked Legion mercenaries too. I could hand this to Lord Benjamin in fact, but there could be potential bias there.’ 

“Lord Asher…?” Lily asked again.

“Ah, you made me think of what you said, and we may… have a possible role for you, but only if you are capable of convincing the Baron, Baroness, and perhaps other people of note within the company.”

“Other people of note?” Lily asked.

“Yes. You could share your desire with the Count and Countess. Maybe the Viscountess. If they admit that it’s a good idea for you to stay here, then we will have no issues whatsoever.” Lucius said.

‘This will be an appropriate test on how well she can actually do in convincing other people. I would do a far more intense test to determine her skills, but this will have to do without anything being associated with me.’

“I… I’ll do it!” Lily said, nodding determinedly. With a clear goal in mind, Lily was going to make her way here in Inanis City and become closer with Lord Asher.

“One last person though.” Lucius said.

“One last person?”

“Miss Kiana Wizen. If you can convince everyone and her, that will be an accomplishment.” Lucius said.
