Chapter 34: Adonis's search for a wife
I've been talking with Nor for 1 hour, but why isn't she taking her eyes off Adonis?"
"Viktor, we want to investigate the house. It will probably take a month. So I believe it will be better if you move out."
"My exam is in 7 days."
"Wait, you're participating in the entrance exam? In the Lyfrone Academy?"
Nor was so surprised that he spilt his tea on the floor. But Adonis removed it with a swish of his finger without any magic spell.
"Your butler is a high-ranking magician."
"Yes, he is."
"Anyway, Which subject did you choose?"
"Technology."
The whole room became silent.
In the Lyfrone Academy, there are only 4 subjects to study.
Swordsmanship and battle strategy.
Magic study.
Technology and Engineering.
Medical study.
The easiest subject at Lyfrone Academy is Magic Study. Students choose magic because it is easy to understand.
The second-ranking subject is Swordsmanship. Male student's favourite subject. Because it will help them gain more power to become a great knight.
The third-ranking subject is Medical study. Because healing magic doesn't heal internal diseases without any medical treatment.
And the last one is Technology and Engineering. This is the toughest subject to read in the academy. They say, only 1% of people pass the exam because there aren't many books about technology. And the committee of the academy says, only 7-8 students graduate from the academy every year.
And all of them moved to the Hexel Kingdom as a national treasure.
So, Viktor taking the exam was really shocking to Nor.
After talking about the whole day while the investigation was running, Nor invited him over to his house for a month to stay.
I didn't expect him to invite a commoner like me to his house. I bet the duke will be furious. But,
"I can't get used to this carriage. How are they sitting so peacefully while my butt is screaming for help. I feel nauseous."
"Master, are you okay?"
"Ahem! It might be his first time travelling into a carriage but don't worry about him."
Ruby said and grabbed Adonis's hand.
I've been observing her since evening. The first time she looked at me, her eyes were glowing. And a second later, she forgot me after looking at Adonis. Even the girl Roselia is staring at him.
I guess I'll never get a wife if he's always beside me. It's not like I crave for one now. I'll definitely get one later. A century later-_-.
The carriage stopped in front of a huge mansion and the horseman announced that we were on the duke's property.
Ruby didn't let Adonis's hand but for some reason, Viktor felt a little uncomfortable. I like black-haired girls, but I guess I don't have any chance.
"I have to move on."
"Move on to what master?"
Adonis was standing beside him with a bag in his hand.
"Oh, where's that little girl Ruby?"
"She went inside to prepare something for me-_-."
"Mr popular guy."
Adonis is a formal king, so this kind of treatment isn't his first time. I am sure he had a whole harem back in his palace. He's an old man of course. And a demon can have multiple wives and husbands by the law of demons.
But I believe he's not going to leave my side. Because I hold the key to his very own power. Only I can lift his seal from his heart. He's like a bond of mine. A loyal slave who listens to every order his master gave.
Viktor was looking into the mansion and saw the mistress poking from the curtain behind the window. His vision was so sharp that he could see her grinding her tooth in anger. Her nails and fingers were so red that he assumed she ate her nails in anxiety.
She was terrified, angry and restless. She kept peeking through the window while they were entering the main house.
Viktor smiled.
"Master, is there something wrong?"
"No. We will enjoy our time until we leave."
"Yes, master."
Adonis is a cunning demon. I am sure he knew what exactly was going on in this house. I can feel his grin behind my back.
I believe he found a prey in this house.
The butler of the duke's house showed the rooms for Viktor and Adonis to stay for a whole month. But the room belonging to Adonis was filled with maids while Viktor was all alone in his room.
"This level of discrimination is unacceptable -_-. Oi knowledge guardian!! At least get me a wife before I die again!
I don't need a harem like Adonis's. I just need one single honest woman who can cook me food and love me unconditionally!! I don't have that patience or money to take care of 10 wives."
He shouted his anger out and went inside his blanket to sleep.
Adonis's POV:
-I can hear my master screaming for a wife. I understand that he's going through puberty, but none of these girls are suitable for my master
I need to find a girl who won't be attracted to my looks. I don't want to cheat on my master!
Unfortunately, Adonis was so distracted by the maids chattering that he only listened to his first sentence but missed the last part.
So he thought his master needed a woman to satisfy his desires.
The girl named Ruby is a beautiful one, but she's not good enough to be his maid. Forget about being his mistress. Roselia doesn't count.
I need a powerful woman who can at least fight for a minute with me. Master likes powerful but quiet people. So no girls in this mansion are good for my master. All rejected!!!!
"Ahem!! I need to sleep now, I'm so tired. Can you leave this poor man to sleep for the night in peace?"
Adonis was so handsome that they left the room with their cheeks red. They were all embarrassed to see him smile.
-Hah! I need to ask my master to make me an anti-charm potion. Or he'll never get a wife in his life…
