As a villain, he could do whatever he wanted.

Chapter 149 The Entrustment from the Harem (Part Six)

"Young Master, you...don't you want me to come along too?"

Hearing the decision Leus had just made, Lilith stood there stunned, seemingly shocked by his words. Then, recovering from her shock, she spoke to Leus in an anxious tone:

"Why! Young Master, are you just abandoning me like this? Didn't you promise that I would stay with you? If I'm not by your side, how can I know how you are doing? What if something happens to you in the capital? Wouldn't that make me very sad..."

"Don't be so pessimistic... Lilith, you're the one who should be more worrying than me, aren't you?"

Looking at Lilith, Leus rolled his eyes at her and continued to explain:

“Lia fought alongside me before, so I have a good grasp of her strength. But Lilith, you are not prepared for combat at all. If a battle breaks out, I will have to spare time to take care of you, which will put the situation at a disadvantage. Do you think Lilith is confident that you won’t hold me back in a battle?”

"Um, this..."

Faced with Lius's statement, Lilith pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but for a moment she couldn't come up with a rebuttal.

"Damn it... what the young master said actually makes some sense. I haven't even officially participated in any battles yet. If something unexpected happens, the young master will probably be in a very difficult situation..."

After pondering this in her heart, the young lady finally understood her current situation. After letting out a breath, she angrily crossed her arms over her chest, snorted, and kicked Lius in the thigh.

"Hmph... Fine, fine, since you 'dislike' me so much, young master, then I won't give you a nice look either. I'll reluctantly agree to your request and won't follow you around anymore, so as not to be a burden to you like a burden."

"Oh, don't think so extremely. I just want to take care of you, Lilith, so you won't be in any danger. I'm not really disliking you. Come on, calm down. Don't worry about my safety. Here, here's a little gift for you, Lilith, as a reward for being so obedient."

"Oh? A gift?"

"Yes, look at this, guess what it is?"

Leaning closer to Lilith, Leus smiled ingratiatingly at her, then pulled out a small ring from his side, deliberately showing it off to Lilith before placing it on the girl's hand.

"Ok?"

Meanwhile, the system, who had been watching the show from Lius's shoulder, blinked slightly upon seeing the ring in Lius's hand, revealing a rather surprised expression.

"Huh? This ring is... the magic ring with special effects that the host exchanged with me before..."

With a strange sense of unease, Miss System, despite some doubts, decided not to question Leus too much for the time being. She simply placed absolute trust in Leus and silently observed what would happen next.

Lilith, meanwhile, stroked the glittering gemstone ring in her hand, tilting her head slightly as if surprised by Lius's "gift."

"Is this... a gemstone? It's quite beautiful. Did you prepare this especially for me, young master? That's very thoughtful of you..."

"Yes, I've been preparing for a long time. It's your wedding ring, Lilith."

"Oh, it's the wedding ring for me..."

The girl nodded slightly, repeating the words Lius had just said, while constantly stroking the smooth, transparent gemstone on the ring.

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Lilith blinked, then suddenly looked up at Leus with a surprised and shocked expression.

"Wait...wait a minute, young master, you said this...this is..."

"Yes, it's just like what you said, Lilith. It's a wedding ring for you, a proof of my proposal to you."

"what!"

Upon receiving another affirmative answer from Leus, not only Lilith but also the group of girls around her cast surprised and envious glances at Leus, marveling at his sudden proposal.

"Brother... Brother proposed to Lilith so quickly? Hmm... I was supposed to be here first, but I'm a step behind. It seems I need to work harder to catch up with Lilith..." Lilia muttered, covering her mouth.

"Xiao Li is really bold! Even I, your aunt, have never received such a formal engagement ring. It turns out that your student beat me to it! It's really embarrassing for an old aunt like me, haha..." Annie smiled, blushing.

"Hmm... In terms of charm, am I somewhat inferior to my daughter in my beloved's heart? Or perhaps my beloved prefers younger girls, which is why he chose Lilith first? Alas... Compared to Lilith, I am far inferior..."

Diana also showed a hint of jealousy, longing for Lius's affection for Lilith. While hugging her ample breasts, she quietly conducted a kind of self-examination.

The surrounding chatter reached Lius's ears, but he decided to ignore it for the time being. He simply smiled at the blushing blonde girl in front of him, gently reached out his hand, and held hers tightly.

"So, that's it. This is my gift to you, Lilith. As long as you wear this ring, no one will dare to hurt you. Under this love, all attacks will be dispelled."

"I...Young Master, you...I..."

Feeling the warmth emanating from her hands, Lilith blinked, gradually realizing what was happening. She then stammered, swallowed hard, and blushed as she nodded to Leus.

"Since...since you've said so, young master, then this young lady will...reluctantly accept...this...wedding ring..."

"So, Lilith, you're willing to marry me?" Leus continued, smiling as he asked.

"Yes...is that so? This young lady is going to become your...wife, young master, just like other noble families have arranged marriages...ha..."

As she finished speaking, Lilith's face, besides blushing, couldn't help but reveal an excited smile. Her previous dissatisfaction and helplessness at being left at home by Leus completely disappeared, leaving only boundless love for the boy in front of her.

"Thank you...Young Master...I'm really happy..."

"It's best if it makes you happy, Lilith. Be good, Lilith. Take this ring. I will always be by your side. Don't worry about being in danger. If you ever miss me, just hold this ring in your hand. No matter what problems you encounter, they will eventually be completely solved."

"Young Master..."

Looking at the confident young man in front of her, Lilith swallowed slightly, nodded, stepped back into her seat, and tossed her hair, her gaze also filled with trust.

"Young Master, go ahead. Don't worry about what's behind you. I, your mother, and Teacher Annie will take good care of you. You and your sister Leah go ahead. Don't worry about anything."

After giving his instructions to Lilith, Leus didn't say anything more about future matters. He simply resumed his usual carefree demeanor and started playing around with the women in his harem.

After the meal, Lius led the maids to pack their clothes and luggage, and then "satisfied" all the girls. By the time they were about to set off the next day, he had arranged all the affairs of the mansion and led Lia onto the carriage.

"Then, I'll leave you to guard the manor."

"Okay, go ahead, Xiao Li. Be careful on the road, and contact us anytime!"

Standing outside the carriage, Anne smiled and waved goodbye to Lius.

Lius gazed thoughtfully at Anne's face, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end he said nothing more, only nodding slightly before silently bidding farewell to the crowd outside.

"..."

As the horses' hooves echoed, the figures of the crowd gradually faded from Lius's sight until they disappeared completely, at which point he stopped gazing into the distance.

It was only at this moment that Lia slowly turned her head, gently moved closer to Lius, rested her little head on his shoulder, and looked at him with a serious gaze.

"Brother, Lia will stay by your side and fight alongside you! If anyone threatens you, even the royal family, Lia will never let them get away with it!"

"Don't talk about such terrible things... I don't have that many enemies. The royal family is very good to our family and won't target me specifically. You don't need to think so much."

Ruffling the girl's hair, Leus forcefully calmed the eager little girl down, then stretched lazily in his seat, gazing out of the carriage window at the ever-flowing scenery, and slowly continued speaking to Leah:

"Lia, if someone were to do something that would harm the world, would you be willing to let them do it?"

"Something that could harm the world... of course I don't want that. My brother went to the capital for that very reason, so how could I possibly support him?"

Faced with her brother's question, Lia firmly shook her head, while Leus nodded and looked at her, then continued to ask:

"What if I wanted to destroy the world? What if it was someone closest to you, Leah, who wanted to destroy the world? Would you be willing to let them?"

"What? My elder brother is destroying the world? How could such a thing happen..."

Upon hearing Leus's statement, Lia blinked in surprise, a look of astonishment flashing across her face...

Chapter 150 The Villains' Temptation (Part 1)

"If one day someone wanted to destroy the world, and that person was someone very important to you, like me, what would you do, Leah?"

"This one……"

Faced with Lius's words, Lia blinked blankly, seemingly unable to react for a moment, and just stood there thinking about something.

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Leah calmed herself down slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly answered Leus:

“If it were your older brother, he should assess the situation and see why he has this idea. Then, as for Lia… she would try to persuade him to abandon this idea and prevent him from doing something foolish…”

"What if I really can't give up? No matter how you try to persuade me, I won't change my mind. Will you agree with my thinking, Leah?"

“This… what about Leah…”

Feeling Lius's gaze, Lia felt troubled again, seemingly caught in a dilemma. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her small fists clenched tightly beside her, as she was unsure of what to do.

Should we acknowledge and affirm our elder brother?

But Anne's mother had taught her to build a harmonious world where everyone lived in harmony. This teaching, which she had received since childhood, was almost ingrained in the girl's heart, and she could not change it.

But... this was her brother's choice, her favorite brother and partner. This deep affection made it impossible for Lia to object to him. She could only stammer and frown in front of Lius, unsure of how to answer.

"..."

After pondering for a while, when Leah came to her senses, the scene outside had already left the forest and arrived at a vast plain.

A ray of morning sunlight, accompanied by a gentle breeze, streamed in through the window, illuminating the white-haired girl's bright red eyes. The cool breeze, along with the sunlight, acted as a calming agent, restoring calm to Leah's previously flustered gaze, and revealing an answer that belonged to her.

“Brother, if you ever really want to destroy the world, then Lia will…”

Swallowing hard, Leah looked at Leus, took a deep breath, and answered him firmly:

"At that time, Lia will do everything in her power to stop you, brother, from doing bad things, so that you will not go astray."

"Are you trying to stop me? Is this your final decision, Leah?"

"Yes, this is Lia's decision. Lia wants to protect her brother, not only his body but also his heart."

Leah nodded vigorously, looked up at Leus, grasped his hands tightly, and gave him her most sincere answer:

"Lia knows that her brother loves this world and would never cause it any harm. If there were ever a day when he wanted to destroy the world, it would be because he was in a deep despair and needed help from others. In that case... Lia would need to help her brother soothe his heart and protect him."

The girl's voice was full of sincerity, containing the endless affection in Lia's heart. Lius was also moved by it and couldn't help but reach out and hug the girl tightly. With a gratified smile, he gently stroked Lia's little head.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved. I hope you can remember these words, Lia. If anything unexpected happens in the future, please act according to these thoughts without any hesitation."

“Brother… what are you worried about? Could it be that you really want to destroy the world…” Leah asked with some concern as she looked at Leus.

"No, no, I'm just giving you a little reminder, Leah, so you can be prepared for what might happen in the future. It's not something that will definitely happen, I'm just letting you be aware of it."

"Is it really necessary to bring up something so serious, Lia? Brother, are you hiding something from Lia?" Lia asked Lius with some suspicion.

"No, really no, Leah, just keep these things in mind for now. It's best if nothing happens in the future, but if you really need to take action, Leah... I believe you'll be able to react by then."

As he said this, Leus continued to stroke the girl's head, while Lia, upon hearing Leus's words, was filled with some puzzled confusion.

"Brother..."

Amidst this surging confusion, Leah finally nodded slightly, deciding to temporarily set aside these thoughts. She simply leaned against her brother, quietly watching the scenery pass by outside the window, immersed in the atmosphere of their journey...

------

At this moment, on the other side.

In a secluded place, a girl dressed in a black robe carried a cup of black tea and a freshly made bacon and egg dish into a closed room.

"Good morning, Ms. Irina. You haven't eaten a single bite since you arrived. You should eat breakfast quickly, or you won't be able to join our church if you get sick from hunger."

With a smile, the girl in black placed breakfast on the table in the room. Beside the table, Irina silently gazed out the window at the dark night sky, her brows slightly furrowed. She said nothing, but the disgust and confusion in her eyes were unmistakable.

"Is Ms. Irina questioning my words? It's clearly night outside, so why do I say it's daytime? Hehe, it's because of the blessing of the Supreme God. This is a sacred place bestowed upon us by the Supreme God. Time here is fixed and shows no signs of passing. You can explore here to your heart's content until you are satisfied."

Faced with Irina's cold demeanor, the girl in black robes took the initiative to explain, and then added:

"By the way, my name is Ershu. If you need anything, you can come and find me anytime. I'll be waiting in the hall for the next guest. I think his name is... Lius."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Ershu utter the name, Irina, who hadn't reacted before, finally turned her head and looked at her with a frown.

"You mean... Leus!? He was also brought here by you?"

"Ah, finally there's a response. Yes, Ms. Irina, Mr. Lius is also someone we're looking after. According to our investigation, he's the one who found our church's whereabouts. We're currently at a critical stage in our plan, and we absolutely cannot afford any mistakes. So bringing him here is an action we must take."

At this point, the girl in the black robe blinked and looked at Irina with a meaningful smile.

"By the way, I've heard that this young master Lius is handsome and is also your lover, Ms. Irina... Hehe, if we bring him to you, I wonder if it would be possible to get your approval for our idea, Ms. Irina?"

"What...what do you want to do!"

Upon hearing about Lius, Irina bit her lip, a look of anxiety appearing in her eyes. The girl in black robes, however, continued with a mischievous grin, clutching her ample bosom, and spoke to Irina:

"Although you are unwilling now, Lady Irina, what if we threaten you with Prince Lius? Such a handsome man, we would naturally like to 'enjoy' him to our hearts'. I wonder how you would react if we tied him up and brought him in front of you, Lady Irina, and had my nuns 'entertain' him properly in front of you."

"Wha...what!"

"It would be quite a sight to see Young Master Lius being humiliated by multiple women in front of Lady Irina... Putting everything else aside, everyone in our church is a top-notch beauty, and they're all virgins. I'm sure Young Master Lius wouldn't refuse. Hehe, I'm really looking forward to it."

"you!"
