In the backyard of the Mitsugoshi Company branch in the Oriana Kingdom.
In the early morning, birds chirped on the branches.
Lady Epsilon awoke from her sleep.
"Hmm~!"
Lady Epsilon stretched.
She walked to the mirror.
The first thing she did every day after waking up was to measure her figure.
"I've grown a little more today. Beta, I'll surpass you one day!"
Lady Epsilon prepared her breakfast, papaya porridge.
She also prepared a cream cake.
Lady Epsilon didn't particularly like cream cake.
But according to her research, most larger girls enjoyed eating cake.
"Oh, right! To maintain my figure, I need to smile more every day!"
This was also something Lady Epsilon had learned through her research.
She went to the study, grabbed a book from the bookshelf, and pressed it down.
The bookshelf suddenly slid open to both sides.
A secret room appeared inside.
Lady Epsilon skillfully jumped up and tapped a switch on the ceiling of the secret room.
She deactivated the anti-theft device.
She elegantly walked with a cat-like stride to the treasure chest in the center of the secret room.
There was a lock on the treasure chest, and this lock couldn't be touched; touching it would activate a trap.
An anti-magic cage would drop from above.
Ordinary Magic Swordsmen couldn't open it at all. Of course, it couldn't trap a strong individual like Lady Epsilon.
It could only hold petty thieves.
The correct way to open it was to reach directly into the treasure chest from above.
The upper part of the treasure chest was a magical illusion, not a physical entity.
Lady Epsilon reached in and pulled out something that looked like a book.
This was Lady Epsilon's most important possession.
Flipping open the book, Lady Epsilon's lips involuntarily curved into a smile.
Lady Epsilon had given this book a title.
"Lord Phantom's Photo Collection"
To be precise, it was a photo album.
It just looked particularly like a book from the outside.
These were all photos of Sino that Lady Epsilon had secretly taken with Eta's camera.
Among them were many photos of his abs.
The more Lady Epsilon looked, the more lewd her eyes became.
A perverted smile appeared on Lady Epsilon's face.
It was probably similar to how a pervert looks at a goddess.
Except Lady Epsilon was looking at her male god.
After half an hour of browsing, Lady Epsilon put the book back.
From time to time, she would suddenly smile, thinking of something happy.
Lady Epsilon walked out of the secret room.
"Today's mission, 'Maintain a pleasant mood,' completed!"
...Lady Epsilon put on her clothes and went to her studio.
To get precise body measurements, she had just... she began to review the latest intelligence.
The Order's influence in the Oriana Kingdom had been gradually cleared by Lady Epsilon with the help of King Gluck.
Without the Round Table Knight, the members of The Order were like scattered sand, all vying for the leader's throne.
Lady Epsilon exploited this, making them expose each other's intelligence.
Then she eradicated them all.
Now Oriana was very peaceful.
Number 559 had left her a long time ago to help Zeta.
"Em… when can I go back to see Master!"
Lady Epsilon grumbled.
"Slap! Slap!"
Lady Epsilon slapped her cheeks.
"I can't think like that; I must maintain a pleasant mood, or it will affect the growth of that thing!"
"Lady Epsilon, Princess Rose wishes to see you!"
"I'll go see!"
"Lady Epsilon, I've come to practice swordsmanship with you again!" Rose said respectfully.
"Begin!"
Lady Epsilon waved her hand and said.
Rose attacked without hesitation.
Lady Epsilon continuously blocked the attacks, while also pointing out Princess Rose's shortcomings.
After two hours of sparring, Princess Rose benefited greatly.
After the sparring session, Lady Epsilon, as usual, began to patrol the Olyana Capital.
At this time, she saw two lovers, laughing and feeding each other ice cream. (The ice cream was also made by Mitsugoshi Company.)
Lady Epsilon watched intently, imagining the man as Sino and the woman as herself.
"When I'm idle, I start to overthink!"
At this moment, an ice cream was offered to Lady Epsilon.
"It's another one of those arrogant people, trying to pursue me!" Lady Epsilon thought to herself.
She looked up and saw a slightly youthful boy.
He looked unremarkable.
"Look, that ordinary boy is actually offering ice cream to Lady Epsilon!" a passerby said.
"I bet he'll definitely be rejected!"
"That's for sure; so many excellent young men in the Olyana Capital have been rejected! Why should this unremarkable boy succeed!"
...Lady Epsilon was a very famous artist in the Oriana Kingdom.
Her piano music was unprecedented and unparalleled.
Many people in the Olyana Capital knew her.
Of course, there were also some young men who wanted to be Lady Epsilon's boyfriend.
But Lady Epsilon rejected them all.
Lady Epsilon stared blankly at the ordinary and plain boy in front of her.
"I'm not dreaming, am I!"
Sino put the ice cream into Lady Epsilon's mouth.
"You, you, you! How dare you be so rude to Lady Epsilon, shoving ice cream into her mouth without her permission!"
A handsome and strong-looking man stepped forward.
He was one of Lady Epsilon's admirers.
He would loiter around here every day, waiting for Lady Epsilon to appear.
As the Son of the Marquis, he believed that with persistence, Lady Epsilon would surely be moved by his sincerity.
"How do you know she didn't agree?" Sino asked, looking at the handsome man in front of him.
"Looking at your demeanor, you're certainly not someone of high status. My father is a Marquis, holding significant power in Oriana. Only someone with a distinguished family background like mine is worthy of Lady Epsilon!"
"And your ordinary appearance is simply not worthy of Lady Epsilon! How could Lady Epsilon agree to eat your ice cream?"
The Son of the Marquis said confidently.
"If I help Lady Epsilon drive away this flirtatious fellow, Lady Epsilon will definitely have a good impression of me!"
Just as Lady Epsilon was about to say something, Sino winked at her.
Although she didn't understand what he meant, she chose to remain silent for the time being.
Sino took the ice cream from Lady Epsilon's mouth and took a bite himself.
"This, this, this! Doesn't this count as an indirect kiss!" The Son of the Marquis pointed at Sino and said.
"I challenge you to a duel!"
The Son of the Marquis said to Sino.
"If you lose, you must stay away from Lady Epsilon!"
"A duel?"
Sino looked at the opponent, who was very robust.
Although he could defeat him in seconds as if it were a game.
But Sino thought of something more interesting.
Didn't he like Lady Epsilon? Then let his heart be completely shattered.
"Good! I accept!"
Hearing about the duel, everyone around them gathered closer.
After all, entertainment options were scarce in this era, so if there was a duel to watch, people would definitely join the excitement.
