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

　……

　Then, Dak talked about the secret passage and the treasure within it, as well as Christmas.

　It all began when Dark obtained the treasure map personally crafted by Aylvit from Principal Arte.

　"You actually got my treasure map in first grade!"

　"So, you've already broken through the barrier and even obtained the Three-in-One Armament Forging Array?"

　Arvit finally showed surprise.

　Dark took out the "Wishful Dice" magic card and waved it in front of her, then summoned a giant die.

　"Remember this? The dice I used at the end of the Duel Festival."

　"The one at Easter?"

　"This is actually an armored card!" Arvit exclaimed curiously.

　Dark smiled slightly, then put the "Wishful Dice" away and said, "Let's not talk about that now. I've recorded all the scenery I encountered during the treasure hunt in the secret passage. I'll show it to you when the Lion Beast returns!"

　As he spoke, he continued to recount the Christmas Eve ball and the treasure hunt in the secret passage, eventually leading to the appearance of the vampire Vlad!

　Although he spoke of it in a seemingly casual manner, Alvette couldn't help but tighten her grip on Claire's arm.

　She could hardly believe that her precious child had encountered so much danger in what should have been a safe academy.

　A vampire reborn in a secret passage, one of the Demon King's vessels!

　"Is this the vessel for the Demon King that you mentioned in your letter to me?"

　"Ah."

　After recounting the treasure hunt in the secret passage, Dak went straight to talking about the process of capturing Vlad and the rituals on Easter night.

　Interspersed within are discussions about the identity of the invisible person, as well as the story of the Blood Princess.

　"Ophelia Brad is still alive!"

　A tremendous surprise shocked Arvit and Claire.

　The letter Dark sent them only mentioned that the Demon King had been reincarnated through a vessel, without mentioning any specific process.

　I never imagined the truth would be like this!

　Especially when she learned that Dark had successfully removed the "Demon King's Embrace" from the Blood Princess's body by resurrecting her as a magical spirit, thus giving her a new life, Alvitt couldn't help but shed tears of relief.

　The Valkyrie, who was crying because of these things, then learned that "the Demon King will most likely become brain-dead during the process of reincarnation," and her eyes showed a strange look.

　Then Dark slowly began to talk about the exam, and the dream he had on the magic motorcycle...

Chapter 457 Darkdemon's Invitation (4.5k)

　Regarding the fact that Dak achieved a terrifying score of 793 points, ranking first in his grade.

　If she hadn't been mentally prepared, Arvit would have jumped for joy and then secretly wiped away her tears in her bedroom.

　However, the head maid, Ollie, who had not expected this, opened her small mouth into an "o" shape, almost big enough to fit a large sausage.

　She probably hasn't realized that her mischievous little brother is no longer mischievous.

　However, the excitement generated by this did not last long.

　The atmosphere shifted when Dark calmly recounted what had happened inside the magical motorcycle.

　Claire was still wondering who the person was who was pretending to be a forest ranger and trying to pry into Dark's secrets by entering his dreams, but Aylvit's brows had already furrowed deeply.

　“Let’s go!”

　Chris, nicknamed "Scorpio," is the head maid of the "Scorpio Palace Maid Corps," responsible for intelligence gathering and... assassination!

　As the second head maid to receive the recognition of the Twelve Gold Saints, Chris is already over twenty-five years old. However, she is petite in stature and has a delicate mind, as exquisite as a young girl.

　When Ylvait called her name, she emerged from the shadows.

　It appeared silently in the shadows.

　A colder tone crept into Arvit's voice: "Find it."

　"Three days."

　Chris whispered something, then took a step back and vanished back into the shadows.

　In the shadows.

　Arvit's brow relaxed as she took a sip of red wine and said gently, "Speaking of which, there are more and more restless people these days. Although I support the doves, peace really does make people forgetful."

　Claire smiled. "That's just human nature. Sometimes we can't control ourselves."

　"That's why shackles are needed," said Arvit.

　Law is a shackle, morality is a shackle; what is bound is not freedom, but the inner demons.

　Alvitt herself was not a morally perfect person, but she saw things very clearly.

　……

　After dinner, it wasn't until the carriage guarded by the lion arrived at the Duke's mansion that Dak said goodnight to his mother and aunt, and then went into his bedroom with a lot of luggage.

　The bedroom, which I hadn't seen in a long time, was still clean and tidy, without a trace of dust.

　Ollie wanted to come inside to help him unpack, but he smiled and shut her out.

　Once the door closed, Darke went to "Paradise" from the card holder.

　Immediately afterwards, he unscrupulously unfolded the "paradise"!

　Before Ollie could recover from the disappointment of being rejected by her brother, she was shocked to find that magic was surging out of her bedroom, and the grid-like veins instantly crawled over her feet and spread throughout the entire second floor!

　Then, buildings that seemed to have emerged from a fairy tale world appeared one after another from both sides of the corridor.

　The buildings did not damage the walls, but they made the corridor space smaller.

　The perfectly placed "paradise" facilities on both sides create a dreamlike feeling in the corridor.

　Dark stood in the center of the bedroom, his eyes closed, controlling the "paradise" to continue unfolding, relying on his absolute understanding of the surrounding environment.

　When he stopped, the second floor of the mansion had been completely altered.

　Of course, he did not allow "Paradise" to touch on inhabited indoor spaces.

　"Boom boom boom!"

　A rapid knocking sounded on the door.

　Dark glanced at the door, and Sylveon had already trotted over and used its ribbon antennae to unlock the door.

　But when it saw that it was still Ollie standing at the door, it slammed the door shut with a "bang".

　Once again locked out, Ollie took a deep breath, which made her feel incredibly proud.

　But the moment she opened the door, she saw that it was Dark using the magic card, so she stopped worrying and finally turned to leave.

　……

　After successfully opening the park, Dark summoned the "Magic Book" and ordered it to summon the other magical spirits one by one.

　As for himself, he packed his luggage with the magical spirits that had already been summoned.

　First is cat grass.

　The cat grass, which has been "hibernating" in the box for three days, urgently needs to be watered with "cat juice".

　Dark took the cat grasses out of the suitcase one by one, then lit the potion to break their hibernation, which gradually awakened them.

　First, there was the short-haired cat, Catnip; then Foxgrass and Milk.

　Cow grass, dragon grass, lion grass.

　After all five cat grass clovers woke up, Dark's bedroom turned into a lively zoo.

　Before long, the rest of the magical spirits were summoned, making the bedroom even more lively.

　His bedroom was several times larger than the academy's dormitory. Even when he summoned the Blue-Eyes Young Dragon, it didn't feel cramped at all.

　Moreover, the bedroom has many partitions, dividing it into multiple spaces.

　He first planned out a plot of land and placed mats that the cat grass liked in it.

　Then, the experimental items and materials were moved to another compartment, and the insect tree was placed in a spacious, sunny area.

　On the stage.

　Then they rearranged the large bed that Ollie had slept in to serve as temporary beds for the magical elves.

　Although the Duke's mansion had as many rooms as one could possibly need, Dak was used to having all of these things readily available and had no intention of making any changes.

　By the time all the luggage was taken care of, it was already late at night.

　Dak happily picked up the ball-shaped sea lion and said with a smile, "I'll take you to a good place."

　……

　Immediately afterwards, he led a large group of magical elves out of the bedroom and quickly arrived at the bathroom on the second floor.

　The bathroom, as spacious as a swimming pool, has everything you could need.

　Dak turned on the water filling button, allowing hot water to slowly spurt out from the lion's head mouth, gradually filling the large square bathtub inside.

　"Momo!"

　The sea lion Qiuqiu excitedly rushed into the bathtub.

　This was the first time it had ever seen such a large pool since its creation, so it was naturally overjoyed.

　Dak picked up the bath towel that had been prepared for him from the counter, took off his clothes, and stepped into the bathtub.

　Before long, all the magical elves were soaking in the bath, even the single sword sheath was leaning against the corner—not afraid of rusting.

　Water vapor gradually rose, filling the bathroom with a misty atmosphere.

　Dak soaked comfortably in the bathtub, all his fatigue gone.

　……

　The next day, June 6th.

　The Duke's mansion was unusually busy from early morning.

　Because today is the young master's birthday!

　Nine months later, the young master finally returned home, and it happened to be his birthday, so naturally we had to make a big celebration.

　However, the Duke's mansion has always kept a very low profile in its private affairs and rarely has close exchanges with other nobles.

　Because of her busy schedule, Arvitt rarely attended the tea parties of the noble ladies.

　This time, following tradition, only family members and close friends are invited to the banquet.

　Of course, there are always a few exceptions.

　Princess Elizabeth rose very early to attend to official business, and soon after, a servant delivered an invitation.

　She glanced at the family crest on the invitation and then set it aside for the time being.

　Of course, she couldn't possibly forget her son's birthday, so checking it later would be the same.

　"Oh, right." A thought suddenly struck her, and she asked the servant, "Have they sent anything to the Second Princess and the Third Princess?"

　The attendant immediately replied, "Yes."

　"I see." Eliza's eyes darted around, and she realized that sometimes the Valkyrie's unintentional remarks might not be a joke.

　……

　The Greta Bayer family.

　A martial arts arena.

　Poor Diana was dragged out of bed by her father early the next morning after returning home.

　She could sleep soundly until 7 a.m. when she was in school, but after returning home for vacation, she was forced to have shortness of breath at 5 a.m.

　Viscount Gretel, euphemistically called it "rehabilitation training"!
