Chapter 37


    Two girls in their early twenties weed Kyon and Flitz in the main hall: a blue-eyed, fair-haired beauty, who smiled warmly at the guests, and a gray-eyed brte just as beautiful. She treated the guests with utmost respect and dignity. Her confidence showed in her proud posture and the way she looked straight in the eye. She turned heads wherever she went, making men dream of catching her fleeting nce.


    The maids were wearing almost identical uniforms. They were dressed in short ck skirts with fluffy white petticoats underneath that looked so cute with all the ruffles. The top was skin-tight withce straps embracing their graceful shoulders and revealing their sharp corbones as well as emphasizing their appetizing boobs. The difference in their outfit was only in the color of the stockings and the garters that their skirts barely covered. The blond maid was wearing white stockings were white while the dark-haired girl had ck ones. Their outfits were a perfect match for their appearance, emphasizing their sexual bodies. Their butts, waists, and boobs were presented in the best possible light.


    Their overly explicit looks struck Kyon as weird. A maid, in his understanding, should not attract a man’s attention. It was an illegal maniption of the male nature. Who would ever keep his right mind next to this quintessence of beauty and sexuality? However, ording to the books he read, everything was different in this world. A maid was a symbol of the house. The image of the master depended on his beautiful, groomed, tidy, and well-mannered maids.


    While Kyon was taking off his shoes at the main entrance, Flitz was instructing him how to behave around the beautiful maids. The girls were in charge of the entire mansion and the servants in it. Kyon should be careful around them, ideally, get on their good side. However, he was so impressed by the patriarch’s greatness reflected in the beautiful girls that he already regarded them as his potential maids.


    {I like the brte… She is the embodiment of inessibility. Her piercing icy gray eyes seem to look right into my soul, and her eyebrow shape makes me… I’d hire her.}


    ?Good morning, Flitz. Lady Juno is at the training ground.? – The smiling blonde maid intoned the greeting in her melodious voice when the old formacist approached her.


    The brte greeted Flitz, too. Then she looked at the boy who was staring at her as if he owned her. He acted as if he was in charge here, deciding if she was the right maid for him. She felt as if he had poured cold water over her. No one had ever dared to look at her like that! Most of the guests bowed respectfully to her. Who did he think he was?! Could the kid be a big shot? He was dressed in high-quality clothes that only gentlemen wore. No… His mark gave him out. Even if there was something about him that made her instincts scream danger, all she cared about was the fact that he was just a ve, an insolent, bold, self-confident ve. What a disappointment!


    She had never met anyone so bold or arrogant like him, and it irked her to the core. She had to find out if there was anything behind his impudence, or he was just a jerk with a death wish.


    The maid looked at him with ice disdain, lingering at the ve’s mark:


    ?You know the rules, Flitz. ves are not allowed in here.?


    The old man waved her off with a fake smile:


    ?It’sdy Juno’s request. She’s in charge, so let him be.?


    ?Lady’s word is thew.? – The maid slightly tilted her head: – ?But it’s so insensitive of you, to say the least, to bring in a ve who doesn’t know his ce.?


    ?Sure, sure.? – Flitz nodded and took the boy by the shoulder to the inner yard.


    The maid was disappointed. He was just a ve, a nobody in terms of official status, and good for nothing in terms of his upbringing. She didn’t want his kind around here. From now on, she wasn’t going to be gentle with him, he must know his ce. In fact, she wanted to humiliate the arrogant boy so bad that her hands balled into fists. A dangerous sparkle flickered in her eyes. Whoever he was, she would quickly deal with him. Nothing was impossible for a professional killer like her.


    Just before he left, Kyon caught the beautiful maid’s gaze. It was like an icy mountain wind that chilled him to the bone. He felt ufortable. He seemed to have missed something important.


    Suddenly, it dawned on him. The most important thing had totally slipped his mind. They called him a ve back in the mine, but there was a food market, square meals, a shelter for the night, friendly attitude of his co-workers… No one would ever whip him for one wrong move. Byron, Mob, Flitz, Ren did not say a word about his arrogance. He got used to their casual and rxed treatment, and it clouded his mind. His weak spot for the beautiful girls had only exacerbated the situation. The concept of politeness had never been so pressing in his previous world. He lived in paradise, enjoying the status of the legend of the whole universe. He hadpletely forgotten what it was like to be humiliated, how it felt to be a nobody, a ve. He should have thought about it before he had entered the mansion!


    Flitz led Kyon to the courtyard through a park asrge as two football fields. It was huge, impressive, fascinating.


    The old formacist elbowed him in the ribs:


    ?Be careful around the girls. They are not only in charge here beside Juno but also professional killers. If you ever misbehave around theirdy, there’s a good chance you’ll die a terrible death. My advice to you, steer clear of the dark-haired one.?


    {Shit… What a great start of the new life in the mansion!} – Kyon wished he could turn the time at least three minutes back. If only it was so simple. – ?What’s her name?? – He decided to ask, after all. What was done couldn’t be undone. At least he would know the name of his potential killer.


    ?Dinah. She is cold as ice with everyone. The blonde is Anna, her sister. Their rank is equal to mine. It’s very high. Everyone below the second rank is obliged to be courteous to them… And yet, they’ve had a subjugating formation since childhood. Go figure…?


    Kyon nodded. {Family members of the 2nd rank with subjugating formations? Hmm. It’s weird. Who did it to them? Anyway, the girls are in charge here, and I started off the wrong foot with Dinah. Well, so much the worse for her. I will give her another chance, and it will be a shame if she does not use it. As for Anna, she seems to be different. I should try and make friends with her.}


    They walked along the path, paved with special marble stones to the training ground. A four-meter wall surrounded the ce. There was a grand entrance with a gate.


    Their walk through therge park took a long time. On the plus side, they passed a perfectly mowedwn, beautiful colorful flowers, a neatly trimmed hedge, rattan benches, elegant statues with fountains, in three words, heaven on earth. In the middle of the park, there was a pond with joyfully sshing fish and white swans. The steam rising into the air suggested a hot spring behind the two-meter fence in the far corner of the garden. Servants scurried about their chores, taking care of the park.


    {I’m going to have a great life in this mansion! I will certainly enjoy it here, especially if I get on the good side of the youngdy. As for the cold-hearted maid, I will find a way to tame her.} – A dreamy smile blossomed across Kyon’s lips.


    Flitz had to look away when he saw the cheerful boy. Even his old shriveled heart wasn’t devoid of pity. Kyon’s voice jerked him off from his joyless reverie. The boy sounded somewhat concerned.


    ?What isdy Juno’s cultivation??


    ?She is a base phaser at the fifth stage.? – Flitz grunted impassively.


    ?It doesn’t sound too impressive. I thought she would be stronger.?


    Flitz didn’t even turn his head:


    ?Don’t be a fool, boy. The difference in a single stage can drastically change the oue of the battle! The advantage in energy is significant, and with each stage, it increases even more! But what do you care? If you can’t bend the elements, you could be ten stages stronger, and she will defeat you anyway.?


    Kyon thought hard. He urgently needed to find out the information about the elements. Otherwise, his fast cultivation had no sense. Except maybe, his body would get stronger.


    They approached the training ground, almost identical to the one where Flitz had been testing Kyon’s skills. It was an area asrge as a basketball court, surrounded by a high wall with a gate.


    Flitz made a sign to Kyon to keep quiet and carefully opened the gate. It was obvious that he was up to something. A decrepit prankster, that’s really something!


    The training ground was paved with solid stonework. There were horizontal bars and battered dummies on the sides. In the center, there was a circle cut out in the ground, the outline of thebat zone. It was the arena itself. A young talent was sleeping peacefully on the lonely bench nearby, drooling in her sleep.


    Kyon’s heart started racing. There she was, his futuredy… Lady Juno might be hisdder to the top of the hierarchy. Was he going to like her? Would he be able to charm her as he had nned in the mine? He couldn’t wait to find it out.
