Her tongue darted seductively from between her red lips, licking the cookie crumbs off her fingers.

"You'll know later, right?"

"Why do I feel even more uneasy when you say that...I hope it's not something unexpected?"

"Come on! We're already here, why should we still think so much? Let's just put everything aside and enjoy ourselves!"

Claudia, who had appeared out of nowhere, jumped up and put her arm around Lin Yinxi's shoulders. A strong aroma of wine filled the air.

"Since there's no need to overthink it, can you also explain what you did outside?"

"Ahaha, newbie. Some things in the world become boring if you know them in advance."

"Tsk, what on earth did you do? Now everyone is——"

"Drink first! Think about it later after you've finished drinking!"

Claudia picked up a bottle of wine from the table and popped the cork with her thumb. There was a distinct, light, snapping sound.

"What a skillful technique..."

He sighed and slipped away from Claudia, who was blowing on the bottle. Erica and Alice were watching them with subtle eyes.

"You can't tell, right?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Newcomer."

"Like Liz and Claudia said, you'll find out later. Don't worry. Just know that there's nothing to rush."

"That makes me even more curious... What exactly are you guys planning to do?"

At this point, he wanted to know more about what they were talking about with each other.

However, Erica and Alice walked towards the other two with hip-emphasizing steps, and only Aurora stood aside with a smug smile on his face, as if letting him ask questions at will.

But her expression revealed her determination not to let him know.

"Why don't you ask me?"

They stared at each other for a long moment before Aurora muttered something under her breath.

"You won't tell me anyway, so there's no need to ask."

"Even so, there's still a thing called politeness. Don't you think it's a bit rude to ask the Knights Generals but not the host who invited you here?"

"I guess so..."

Lin Yinxi responded helplessly.

Aurora covered her mouth with the fan she held and giggled. Then she walked toward him with gentle steps, her black high heels with red soles treading on the carpeted floor.

"Well, since you don't want to ask, forget it. So, what do you think?"

"what?"

"I put a lot of thought into choosing this outfit. Inside, there's a body that countless men would do anything to get a glimpse of.

I've prepared so carefully to come to you, so I should at least say a few words of appreciation, right?"

"...Such a blunt question. Now that you're a lord, can't you speak with more dignity—"

Before he could finish his words, Aurora walked up to him and gently pressed the fan against the corner of his mouth. Where the fan touched his lips, there was a faint lipstick mark, as if it had been carved recently.

It's the exact same color as on Aurora's lips.

"I'm the farthest thing from a dignified person. Okay, tell me what you think."

"Okay, okay, you're so beautiful. This suits you perfectly. Okay?"

"You're so insincere, you're unqualified!"

With a click, the closed fan hit Lin Yinxi's head.

“What happens if you fail?”

“You will be punished.”

Aurora's eyelids covering her golden eyes are slightly curved, her eyeshadow is charming, and a smile appears on her face, outlining her moving facial curves.

"Enjoy yourself here~ This is your punishment. If you don't enjoy it well, I won't let you go."

After saying this, Aurora smiled slightly and, like the other Knight Commanders, walked forward step by step, emphasizing her hips. The protagonists of the banquet gathered together, and the band's music became more lively.

At this time, maids, who were wrapped up tightly without revealing anything, and wearing clothes that were very rare by the standards of this world, came in carrying silver trays with wine glasses on them.

A lavender liquid bubbled up slowly inside. It looked like alcohol, but it was unclear what it was.

Aurora picked up a glass of wine and stood on a platform slightly higher than the surrounding area.

Alice, Liz, and Erica each picked up a glass of wine. Claudia was already happily blowing through the bottle, so she didn't notice anything. Only the empty bottle rolled around on the floor.

The maid approached and handed him the silver tray. He grabbed the last wine glass. Aurora glanced over and, after confirming that Lin Yinxi had joined in, raised her arm.

"Everyone is busy enjoying themselves, so I'll make it short. Everyone! You've all worked hard under that bastard! You've all worked hard to obey that bastard's orders! You've all worked hard to protect purity under that bastard's command!"

A cough—Lin Yinxi started coughing because of Aurora's inexplicable remarks. What has this guy been talking about since just now?

Seeing her playful smile towards him, it was definitely intentional. She said these words deliberately to see how he would react. The other knight leaders also followed her lead in her antics.

"We are gathered here today to celebrate and enjoy ourselves. The difficulties we have experienced so far are now over. No, it is even more than that. So—"

Aurora drank the wine in one gulp, threw the empty glass aside casually, and smiled as she looked at everyone in turn.

"—Have fun. This is the Lord's order!"

The banquet lasted for a long time. I don't know when it started, but I could no longer hear the sound of the orchestra. Lin Yinxi looked around with hazy eyes, and there was no one around.

During that time, everyone did drink a lot of alcohol. Surprisingly, Aurora could hold her liquor quite well, as did the other Knights.

Claudia, in particular, doesn't seem human at all.

She later drank directly from the oak barrel filled with wine. You know, an empty oak barrel weighs about 50 kilograms, and when filled with wine, it weighs at least 300 kilograms.

"...Wow, I'm really going to die."

He is like this.

At that time, not only the Knights General, but even Aurora were chatting and laughing, making it impossible for him to control his drinking. He couldn't drink less or refuse the wine offered to him.

Even if I refused, Claudia and Liz would catch me and I would end up drinking it...

How could either of them miss the opportunity to get me drunk?

For various reasons, he drank too much and couldn't even remember how much he had drunk.

"Luckily I don't vomit."

He was almost drunk and sat with his head down on a chair at the side of the banquet hall.

The world felt like it was spinning. Even if he sat quietly, the unique aroma of the fruit wine kept flowing back into his nose and mouth, and it was difficult to maintain his balance. He could only keep himself from sliding off the chair.

It’s a strange world. Being drunk only makes people intoxicated, but the body still has normal reactions and becomes more sensitive.

This feeling of euphoria made it difficult for him to control his actions. If physical contact occurred at this moment, his body would probably react directly.

This was why he had to sit in the corner. It was truly the least rationality he possessed. If Liz tempted him now, he would probably pounce on her directly and decisively.

"New guy, what are you doing here?"

'Is this true?'

A familiar voice came to my ears. It was Liz.

Why on earth?! Just when he thought he couldn't resist Liz's temptation, she immediately appeared?

"...Just, take a break. I drank too much."

"Um, really?"

Liz brought a chair from nearby and sat down next to him. The unique sweet alcoholic taste of the fruit wine was mixed with Liz's fragrance.

I don’t know if it’s because of the alcohol, but every part of my body feels extra sensitive.

"How drunk are you?"

"...A little, or a lot?"

"Hmm, I see..."

Liz changed the subject. Something felt off.

"Newcomer."

"......What?"

"You're curious why we came back so late, right?"

"...Yeah, so what?"

"Didn't I tell you that you'd know later? Remember that?"

Lin Yinxi nodded.

Then, a shadow appeared above his head. Not knowing what was going on, he looked up.

Standing around him at this time were the Knights Generals and Aurora.

They didn't look drunk at all, and although they clearly reeked strongly of alcohol, unlike him, they were no different from when the party started.

Liz grinned.

"Now, that's later."

071. Unveiling the Secret and the Brief Shura Field

"So cute~"

This is what Liz was thinking at the moment.

At this moment, she was looking at Lin Yinxi with a relieved smile, looking around in confusion with a drunken face. He seemed to have no idea of ​​the current situation.

Liz poked his cheek with her index finger.

It was the first time she saw a newcomer in such a mess.

Because he always showed in front of everyone the image of someone who had anticipated whatever was going to happen and would not even blink an eye.

Well... except when it comes to women...

After all, every time I pushed my chest out to seduce him, he would look very helpless.

"Um...um, what..."

"Ouch, be careful, newbie, you might fall."

Claudia supported Lin Yinxi's shaky body, which was about to fall sideways, as he tried to stand up from his seat.

Even though she was carrying the weight of a drunk, sturdy adult male, all on one arm, Claudia seemed to feel nothing.

There was nothing surprising about that, because she was someone who could easily lift an oak barrel filled with wine and drink from it, and easily wield a giant sword as thick as a door panel.

It's impossible not to be able to stand up to one person.

"When... did you...?"

"We reached an agreement before this banquet, so it didn't take long. At first, I didn't even think about doing something like this. But as the situation developed, I felt it would work, so I just went with the flow..."

"after......"

"It was originally the idea of ​​Lord Aurora and Alice. Then Alice hinted it to me, and I told Erica and Claudia. Alice said the Lord was the first to propose it?"

Aurora nodded. Since it was indeed her suggestion, there was nothing to refute.

Claudia carefully helped Lin Yinxi sit back on the chair. As soon as the hand supporting his shoulders fell, his body fell on the chair like a puppet with its strings cut.

"Newcomer, you don't have to be afraid of your secrets being uncovered. In fact, the questions we want to ask are very simple."

Erica spoke carefully and cautiously.
