You were made to farm, and now you're the emperor of an empire?

Chapter 100 First Kiss
Neel snapped out of her reverie.

She was lost in the past, unaware of how much she had said or what inappropriate things she had said.

Both Earl Bailey and Lord Poplar were worried that keeping the descendants of Seaburg in Seaburg would be detrimental to future development.

Her identity was sensitive, and as a maidservant of the Lord of the Sea Fortress, she simply found a merchant who bought slaves and sold them to lands thousands of miles away from the Sea Fortress.

This not only generates revenue for them but also eliminates their worries, achieving two goals at once.

Humanity must always look forward. No one would believe that these people, as slaves, could traverse thousands of miles and return to Seaburg.

These days, Niliel has been chopping wood and tending fires at the mess camp, her palms blistered from the work, and she also has to endure the covetous looks from the foremen.

Some even suggested that she could come out to cool off at night, so that he could make her work easier in the future.

But the people of Haibao took good care of her, and whenever someone approached her, the Haibao slaves would spontaneously surround her.

The stewards were worried that things would escalate, since these slaves belonged to the lord.

Having spent several months with the lord, they knew his character well and dared not offend him.

All she wanted was to regain the treatment she used to receive.

Even if she wasn't a personal maid, it would still be better than these rough and tiring jobs.

Therefore, she showed no fear in the face of the nobleman's scrutiny. Instead, she straightened her chest and met his gaze, trying her best to exude her charm.

After a moment's thought, Roman asked, "Do you have any special abilities or strengths?"

Neel was slightly taken aback. She frowned and racked her brains to figure out the meaning behind those words.

Her expression slowly turned serious, and she nodded.

Roman was curious about the bloodline of Haibao. He raised his chin and said, "Let me see your abilities."

Neel turned around and found that only she and Roman were in the hall.

Everyone was busy, and Seth left after bringing her here.

"Right here?" she asked.

Roman realized he couldn't demonstrate his ability to breathe underwater on land. He was about to take Neliel to the river when he saw her walking towards him. To his astonishment, she knelt before him and reached out to pull down his pants.

"What are you doing?" Roman's face turned black.

He grabbed Neliel's long blue hair, forcing her to stop.

Neliel felt a slight pain at the roots of her hair and had to raise her long neck, finding the nobleman's peculiar habit difficult to comprehend.

Is this also part of the gameplay?

She said through gritted teeth, "My lord, I am demonstrating my strengths."

She learned those things, how to please men, which is something all the maids of the Sea Castle are supposed to learn. If Lord Dill recovers his health and they are completely unaware of it, then they will have failed in their duty.

"You're talking nonsense!" Roman's face darkened.

What I want to see is your talent and ability!
Roman looked on with exasperation at the apostle he had just recruited who was making such a despicable move.

It's impossible to expect pig iron to be directly turned into steel.

They need to grow, they need to be tempered and refined, they need to be forged into steel.

He was always good at self-reflection, and Neliel's actions almost broke him down, but there was no need to be angry; it was just that he hadn't explained himself clearly.

"Get up." Roman released the blue hair he was holding tightly.

Neliel stood up, feeling wronged, and followed Roman away from Origin Manor.

Upon reaching the winding river, Roman pointed to it and said to her, "Go down."

This time, Neel understood what Roman meant.

She swiftly stripped off all her clothes, her exquisite naked body seemingly reflecting a white light in the sunlight. Before Roman could even take a second look, she plunged into the river.

She barely splashed any water, like a nimble fish entering the water. Neliel stood in the water, only her wet blue head emerging from the surface, gazing at Roman, awaiting his next instruction.

How long can you stay underwater?

Neel shook her head and said, "I don't know, sir. I haven't been in contact with water for a long time."

Since becoming the Lord of the Sea Castle's handmaiden, she has never jumped into the sea to fish again. She is too busy every day to learn all kinds of knowledge and to assist the Lord of the Sea Castle in managing the castle. Eight years have passed since then.

Roman said, "I want to see your limits."

Neliel disappeared into the river.

Inland rivers differ from ocean rivers; they have less buoyancy and sink more easily.

She adapted to the difference very quickly.

She waited for an unknown amount of time, but finally couldn't hold on any longer and popped her head out to breathe some fresh air.

Roman was pleased with her performance and said, "Well done. Come on up."

He counted silently in his mind, and it wasn't until he counted to three hundred that he saw Neliel surface.

It's important to know that ordinary people would never exceed one hundred numbers when diving, while the Conqueror Knights would probably only reach two hundred, and even some superhumans with poor lung capacity would only reach a little over one hundred.

Of course, neither the former nor the latter had undergone professional diving training.

Neliel is pretty much the same; the fact that she's been able to persist for so long can only be described as exceptionally gifted.

With just a little practice, one can significantly improve their diving skills; the potential for improvement is enormous.

As expected of a three-star apostle.

After getting ashore, Neliel shook herself like a feline, splashing water off her hair and body, then bent down to pick up her clothes and put them on.

Roman said to her, "From now on, you will be my attendant."

He glanced at Nilier's relationship level when he had a moment to spare. It was originally close to 20%, but when he said those words, it jumped to 30% instantly and was still rising.

Neel immediately replied with delight, "I will not let you down."

Roman smiled and placed his palm on Neliel's wet blue hair, gently rubbing it. He felt that the wet hair was smooth and silky. Even though there was no shampoo, the hair was of excellent quality. The dirt on her body also disappeared after this underwater swim, and her pretty face became even more radiant and beautiful.

"The harder you work, the more important tasks I will entrust to you." This time, Roman couldn't suppress his desire. He used his fingers to lift Neliel's chin, making her subconsciously raise her delicate face.

Neel gazed at Roman, her azure eyes seeming to draw one's soul in.

Roman's heart raced slightly, and in a moment of instinct, he overcame reason and lowered his head to kiss Neliel's lips.

Neel was slightly taken aback. She closed her eyes and responded to Roman awkwardly but with effort.

The two first-time kissers quickly felt suffocated.

"Huff!" Roman jerked his head back, breaking free from Neliel's tongue, and gasped for breath. Neliel's face was flushed crimson. She lowered her head, pursed her lips, and breathed rapidly. She felt that this action was more tiring than diving for ten minutes, and she felt like she couldn't breathe.

Roman licked his lips, he was getting a little craving, but he knew now was not the time to indulge in beauty.

He said to Neliel, "You're beautiful, but stay away from me from now on."

Neel glanced at Roman with a strange look. She keenly noticed the restlessness and intense desire in his passionate kiss. She was also prepared to face what was about to happen... She felt a little ashamed. To say she was prepared was to mean that she could only passively endure it.

This development was happening too fast, but she had no choice but to go with the flow, like a fallen leaf carried along by the surging river to the estuary.

Now that the river has stopped flowing on its own, she will not force it.

Neel knew that the cessation of the river's flow did not mean that desires would cease to accumulate.

Even a reservoir can breach its banks one day, violently surging into the sea, all it takes is a certain trigger.

But it's always good to have time to get familiar with and adapt.
