Outside the Bedroom Door.
Akemi, holding a magic book, froze in place.
Originally, she wanted to find her sister to ask for advice on magic, but who knew she would stumble upon "swordsmanship practice."
Hesitating for a moment, Akemi leaned forward a bit, pressing her ear to the door.
Toward everything about Devils... she was also extremely curious.
Ah... Nnnh... Master...
Gradually!
Akemi's skin turned pink instantly.
Her body trembled slightly, her knees weakening, unconsciously bending at the waist.
After a long while.
Akemi realized she was leaving a mess on the floor. She quickly cleaned it up and left cautiously, her heart pounding.
Downstairs.
"Ara, ara... you were gone for a long time."
Listening to the faint sounds from upstairs, Vermouth rested her chin on her hand, smiling like a sly fox.
Akemi's body stiffened slightly.
Just now, I was too focused; I actually forgot about this woman's existence.
Terrible.
Could she have guessed everything?
This is really too shameful.
Akemi was going crazy inside, but on her face, she feigned calmness.
No matter what, I cannot lose face in front of her.
However...
Down below feels chilly and wet.
I really need to take a bath.
It's all that girl Shiho's fault.
Vermouth blinked her eyes, teasing, "Was it very exciting?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Akemi rolled her eyes.
Vermouth twitched her nose, sniffing the air. "It seems it was indeed very exciting."
Akemi was thoroughly embarrassed.
She can even smell it?
Are you a dog?
Vermouth looked at Akemi with a face full of envy.
"You really have good luck, to actually be able to meet Master Arlen."
Although the time she spent here was short...
Through indirect questioning and observation, she understood many things.
These two sisters have both become Devils.
This...
Is simply a meteoric rise to power.
Unconsciously, she remembered the terrifying wind magic displayed by Shiho earlier.
Thump! Thump-thump!
Vermouth's heartbeat began to accelerate.
She looked at Akemi with a meaningful gaze.
Since they can...
Why can't I?
I just don't know if I can gain Master Arlen's approval.
...
Early the next morning!
Arlen walked down from the second floor holding Shiho's hand.
Shiho's ability to "care for the blade" had improved significantly, which fascinated him. She looked radiant.
Living Room.
Akemi saw Arlen and Shiho, and her face instantly turned red.
The sounds actually rang out for the whole night.
Is this something humans can do?
Wait, no.
Both of them are Devils.
Then it's fine... I guess.
On the other side.
Vermouth saw this scene, her eyes flickering slightly.
Then, without hesitation, she walked directly in front of Arlen and knelt down gracefully.
"Lord Arlen... Vermouth wants to pledge loyalty to you."
Arlen's expression shifted. He looked at Vermouth with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.
Vermouth's body immediately stiffened; she didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
As time passed in silence.
Her heart became increasingly apprehensive.
A layer of fine sweat beads rose up on Vermouth's forehead.
Arlen did not speak.
The silence made the room increasingly oppressive.
The inexplicable pressure made Vermouth feel like she was suffocating.
Did I fail?
In the end... will I be killed?
Shiho and Akemi also watched this scene quietly.
Toward Vermouth, they actually didn't have any good impression.
Although there wasn't a deep blood feud...
They knew clearly that this woman was a genuine witch. A dangerous one.
However.
Whether to accept a Servant or not was Master's business.
As Arlen's Servants, their duty was to be obedient; naturally, they couldn't speak out of turn.
After what felt like an eternity.
Arlen looked at the flickering [Devil Contract] notification and asked calmly, "Are you a virgin?"
"Absolutely. I haven't even been touched by a man."
"Fine. I accept you."
Hearing Arlen's words, Vermouth's eyes widened, and her tense body immediately relaxed.
Then.
She realized that unknowingly, her back was soaked in cold sweat.
Vermouth's face revealed an expression of pure relief, like surviving a disaster.
Just now.
She was really in despair.
Thinking that the countdown to her own death had already begun.
Fortunately, she had always kept herself clean.
She calmed her emotions a bit, revealing an ingratiating, seductive smile toward Arlen.
Arlen touched his chin, thoughtful.
Speaking of which...
All the women he met who had the qualifications for the Peerage System...
Putting aside aptitude for now...
Every single one of them was a virgin.
Could this be a hidden condition for the Devil Contract?
Then.
He looked at Vermouth, a smirk revealing itself on the corners of his mouth.
Actually, he had been planning to take her for a long time.
He just wanted to grind down her pride a bit first.
I didn't expect her to be so sensible. It saves me the trouble.
Arlen looked down from above, saying in a calm tone, "Take off your clothes."
Hearing this, Vermouth did not hesitate for a second. She began to move.
She had not witnessed the Reincarnation Ritual, and she was even less clear about Arlen's purpose.
But right now.
Even hesitating for a second would be disrespect to the Devil.
Since Lord Arlen told her to strip, naturally she couldn't hesitate.
In fact, she decided to use a little bit of scheming.
Seeing this scene, both Shiho and Akemi's eyelids twitched.
Akemi couldn't help but speak up, "Master only said outer clothes."
"Hmm?"
Vermouth blinked her eyes, playing dumb. "Is that so?"
"Could it be I heard wrong?"
She looked at Arlen pitifully, her hands already undoing the clasp of her bra.
"No problem. It doesn't affect anything at all."
Arlen nodded while watching, enjoying the show.
Hearing this, Vermouth's movements became faster and bolder.
Finally, she had completely displayed herself in front of Arlen. Naked.
However, her face was hot to the point of being somewhat red.
Although she is called a witch...
She is also a woman.
In all her life...
This was the first time being so exposed in front of a man.
Even if she had prepared herself mentally, she still felt incredibly shameful.
