The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　The Ducal Palace of the Dimon family is located in the northern suburbs of the capital, nestled against the mountains and facing south.

　The mansion was extremely large, with flower gardens, gardens, and even a martial arts training ground. Water flowing down from the mountain wall in the backyard formed a waterfall, and the pool below the waterfall was home to rare aquatic animals.

　Having grown up in the Duke's mansion, Dak naturally knew his own residence very well. He even built a treehouse on a giant tree in the back mountain, which, although drafty, is still alive today.

　It wasn't until he was eight or nine years old that Dak realized the back mountain wasn't actually safe—his actions, which he thought were a little secret, were actually being monitored by the old butler.

　After the old housekeeper retired, he never went to the back mountain again.

　The Duke's mansion is now managed by the daughter of the old butler, Ms. Jasmine, who is also the head of the maids.

　Ms. Jasmine is almost thirty years old this year, but she still doesn't have a boyfriend, which makes His Majesty the Duke very worried.

　Under Lady Jasmine, there are twelve maid corps, each led by a head maid, each with different responsibilities, supporting the entire Duke's mansion.

　……

　After a short while, Claire rode her wyvern to the vicinity of the Duke's mansion.

　As Dak looked down at the brightly lit Duke, a pang of nostalgia swept through his heart.

　I'm finally home!

　"Sit down!"

　Claire suddenly reminded her.

　Dak felt a tightness at the back of his head, and then suddenly felt like he was floating.

　The wyvern in Claire's...

　It suddenly flew downwards at high speed and landed on the dragon-training platform in front of the gate.

　The guards standing nearby glanced in this direction only once before turning their heads away.

　Their duty is to protect the mansion, not to engage in any formalities.

　As for welcoming the young master home, that is the duty of the maids in the manor.

　Once the wyvern had landed safely, Claire released the reins, clapped her hands, and then a dragon tamer who was waiting nearby stepped forward and saluted them.

　Claire leaped off the dragon's back and said to the dragon tamer, "Get it some raw beef. We'll treat it to a good meal tonight."

　The two-legged dragon that had accompanied her for more than ten years suddenly began to shake its head and wag its tail, appearing unusually cheerful.

　at the same time.

　Dark was also pulled down by Yalvit.

　He awkwardly broke free from his mother's arms and pretended to tug at his collar.

　Even though he has regained his memories of his past life... no, it is precisely because he has regained his memories of his past life that he is increasingly helpless against his overly doting mother.

　Alvitt is actually very fragile. In the past, when he was rebellious, just a few harsh words from him could make her sad for a long time.

　Therefore, he dared not speak harshly to Alvitt.

　And now, of course, I dare not do it even more.

　Dak took a deep breath and shook his head as he looked at the gate of the Duke's mansion.

　One of the two guards at the gate shrank back almost instinctively when he saw him looking over.

　Dak couldn't help but smirk as he recalled the bad things he had done to this gatekeeper in the past.

　"If you have time, make it up to him."

　Thinking this, Dark waved to the magical spirits.

　Devimon quickly flew onto his shoulder, while Meowth, Gatomon, and Sylveon came to his feet.

　Dark pointed to the Duke's mansion, a smile spreading across his face in the lamplight: "See this? This is your home!"

　……

　The gates of the Duke's mansion slowly opened with the sound of mechanical clicks.

　When Dak came to his senses, his right arm was already tightly embraced by Alvette.

　"Come on, your favorite sister Ollie made your favorite lamb. She swore that it would make you forget the halfling chef's cooking skills."

　Dark rubbed his nose somewhat awkwardly and said, "Sister Ollie's lamb is indeed delicious, but I probably can't eat too much."

　Ollie Dimon.

　She was one of the head maids who was given the surname "Dimon" by Alvitt herself, and also inherited the name "Aries".

　The Duke's mansion has twelve maid corps, each named after one of the twelve zodiac signs. The head maid of each corps is a talented person personally selected by Alvit.

　Only the head maid who is recognized by the twelve Gold Saints will be given the name "Dimon" and become the Duke's most trusted confidante.

　The Twelve Gold Saints are "armor cards" designed based on the twelve constellations. They can not only amplify the user's strength and agility by hundreds of times, but each piece also possesses unique powers.

　It was through the power of the twelve Gold Saint Armors that Alvita became the Valkyrie she is today.

　However, she only possesses half of the Gold Saint Armor. Therefore, among the twelve head maids, only six have been given the name "Dimon".

　And Ori Dimon was the first of the six head maids to gain the approval of the Gold Saint Armor!

　The "Aries Palace Maid Corps" under her command was responsible for the Duke's food supply, which meant they were in charge of the kitchen.

　It was slightly different from what Arvitt had in mind.

　It was precisely because Ke knew she was an "Aries" that he kept pestering her to make him lamb set meals every day—not because he actually liked lamb the most!

　When she was only six years old, she was chosen to be brought into the Duke's mansion. At the age of thirteen, she gained the recognition of the "Aries Saint Armor". She has now been working in the Duke's mansion for twelve years.

　Because she was the youngest maid at the time, she was also responsible for being the young master's playmate.

　When milk

　When Mom is busy, she'll occasionally help change the young master's diapers or something...

　That's just who he is.

　Dak was led by Yarvet into the Duke's mansion, where, unsurprisingly, two rows of maids stood on either side of the stone-paved road.

　Vigo, the "virgin" in charge of "etiquette," stepped out from the line and said to Dark, "Young master, welcome back."

　Looking at the head maid Vigo's formulaic smile, Dark couldn't help but recall the painful times when she used a ruler to teach him aristocratic etiquette.

　He smiled slightly and said, "Teacher Vigo, let them all leave and get some rest."

　Vigo could not hide her surprise, but still said, "Since the young master has made this arrangement, I will let them go back to rest."

　The two rows of maids bowed in unison and said, "Thank you, young master!"

　The synchronized sounds finally gave Dark a sense of being a "bad boy," and he couldn't help but shake his head, instead pulling Alvit along to quicken his pace.

　Moments later, he passed through the line of maids and entered the indoor corridor.

　As for what the maids would talk about after he left, he could roughly guess. It would be nothing more than things like "Young Master is so handsome again" (doge).

　……

　Inside the luxurious restaurant adorned with silver ornaments, "Aries" Ollie is carefully arranging sliced ​​lamb on a plate. Then she places three different sauces in three small dishes.

　Next to the lamb was a plate of pasta-like dish and a pot of lemon tea, a specialty from the Liberty City.

　It was 8:40 p.m., well past dinner time.

　The food on the table was prepared solely for the young master.

　The thought of her young master returning tonight brought a warm smile to Ollie's face.

　Even if the young master seemed terrible to outsiders, in her eyes he was just a slightly mischievous younger brother.

　From the moment she entered the manor at the age of six and first saw that exquisitely beautiful baby, she knew that her life was now completely intertwined with it.

　Whether she was a maid or an older sister, she was happy to accept both roles.

　In short, no one in the Duke's mansion is innocent in the fact that Dark Dimon turned out this way.

　……

　When Dak arrived, Ollie had already been waiting in the restaurant for a long time.

　She walked quickly to Dak, resisting the urge to hug him, and whispered, "Young Master, you're back."

　Dak pulled his right hand out of Arvit's arms and nodded, saying, "Sister Ollie, where's my lamb?"

　“There it is.” Ollie moved aside so that Dak could see the food on the table.

　Dak had already smelled the aroma of lamb.

　He walked past Ollie and went straight to the dining table.

　Auli looked curiously at the magical elves following behind him, then suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly turned around and said, "Don't forget to wash your hands!"

　Dak's face stiffened, but his steps naturally led him to the washroom.

　After he washed his hands, he returned to the dining table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

　Ollie laid out a napkin in front of him and stood quietly to his side.

　Meanwhile, Alvette and Claire casually sat down at the table.

　"Little Ollie? Aren't you going to prepare two sets of cutlery for us too?" Claire joked.

　Ollie, with her delicate features and rosy cheeks, said softly, "Aunt Claire, if you want a late-night snack, I'll make it for you later."

　"Never mind," Claire waved her hand. "Bring me a bottle of red wine."

　"Mmm," Ollie responded, then turned to get the wine.

　Claire then took out two wine glasses, pushed one of them in front of Alvitt, and casually said, "Alvitt, would you like a drink?"

　Yarvie nodded and said, "Okay."

　Claire leaned back in her chair and chuckled, “Drinking wine and listening to music is one of life’s pleasures. Now that there’s no music, let’s have Dark tell us some interesting stories about what happened at the academy to liven things up. His year at the academy has been more eventful than my own journey.”

　As Dak was spreading sauce on the lamb and chewing it slowly, he said, "Aunt Claire, it's still not as good as yours."

　Claire's eyes gleamed with cunning: "Then tell me in detail."

　Dark said helplessly, "Wait a few days... Okay, wait a bit."

　Arvit immediately relaxed her brow and became expectant.

　after awhile.

　Ollie then returned with a bottle of red wine.

　She unscrewed the cork and poured the red wine into Claire and Ylvette's glasses in turn.

　After she finished pouring, Dak said, "Sister Ollie, please sit down too."

　Auli glanced at Alvette, and after receiving permission...

　He then sat down on the other side of Dak.

　Dark picked up a piece of lamb with his fork and, to everyone's surprise, fed it to the little demon beast on his shoulder. Only then did he organize his thoughts and begin to recount his several encounters at the academy.

　First, there's the incident involving the Moon Goddess.

　Because Claire's temporary appointment was to replace Professor Didi, she knew a little about it.

　And since she knew, Arvitt naturally knew as well.

　However, as Dak recounted the story, they gradually learned more details.

　"Didi Maxwell, the Tears of the Moon Goddess... I see. From a woman's perspective, I can understand her desire to create the Tears of the Moon Goddess. But as a professor at the academy, she is clearly unqualified."

　"It was a rather calm statement," said Arvit.

　Dark deliberately avoided overly dangerous parts in his description, but with a little thought, one can fill in the gaps.

　However, since this matter is already known, there's no need to dwell on it too much.

　On the contrary, the Halloween activities and parties that come with it are what people pay more attention to.

　It's clear that Arvit is quite concerned about the children's interpersonal relationships at the academy.
