My wife is an immortal black snake.

"Hmm. But teacher? Why would someone surrender to their enemy? They could still fight..."

"Capital knows no borders. They are just businessmen who have no feelings of love or hate in their eyes—they only want money."

"So, you mean they'd sell their own children just for money?"

"I guess so. Sigh, compared to that, your Mr. Yang Hao is really a good man..."

"Hey? Teacher—!"

"Don't worry, I won't steal your man. Besides, we're not a good age match, that's all."

Feeling as if she had set herself up for something extraordinary, Ms. Northumbers ruffled Margarita's hair with a strange mood to calm the suddenly tense girl down. At the same time, she wondered if she was judging Margarita's man with the perspective of the most powerful period of Gaul.

This is even more absurd than judging an elementary school student by the standards of a university student. What's even more absurd is that, even so, I actually felt that Mr. Yang Hao was alright? Compared to the capitalists of Casimir, he's practically a good man!

Sigh! In that case, I'll lower my standards a bit. As long as he can be happy with Margarita and have a few children with her to strengthen the already scarce Blood Demon race, then there's no problem.

She ruffled Margarita's hair, patted her cheek to signal her to get back to work, and then Ms. Northum took Margarita off to uncover the capitalists' little secrets.

......

While the Blood Demon and his apprentice were working hard for Lord Yang Hao, Theresa and the others were not idle either.

Recently, Miss Karina has temporarily set aside her research to focus on helping Sonia take care of her child, while also assisting Miss Theresa with her work. Theresa's work isn't exactly strenuous, but if someone could help her organize the information, her efficiency could be further improved.

"Miss Theresa? Um—this is a message from your sisters, you know?"

"—Um? This seems to be... a message from the Serpent Scales?"

"And this—"

Karina became Theresa's assistant. Although this noblewoman with a child was quite flustered in handling the work, she did indeed help Theresa a lot.

But then again—

During a rest break, the two adults drank cold drinks to quench their thirst, while Hela went out to play by herself—

"Speaking of which, Karina? I have a question..."

"Eh?"

Theresa suddenly looked at Karina seriously, while Karina stared back blankly. Had she done something wrong? Karina suddenly felt a little nervous—although this wasn't her strongest skill, she couldn't have done anything wrong, could she?

So, Miss Theresa? Um, what do you want to ask?

Miss Karina's inner confusion vanished the next moment, startled by an outrageous question:

"Hey—Kelina, you're not planning to get pregnant yourself and then slap our female boss in the face when she can't get pregnant, are you?"

"Ahem?! Miss Theresa?! What are you saying?!"

"Oh? That's a perfectly normal thought. I've already told my boss I want to have a child with him. So I was wondering if we should plan a schedule? Mornings and noon are mine, afternoons are yours, and evenings are Ms. Sonia's?"

"Eh?!"

Are you serious?! Seeing Miss Theresa's serious expression, and startled by her words, Kirina coughed repeatedly, realizing she really was serious...

But then again, why would you have such a bold idea?! And how could I possibly betray Lord Kosiché?! That's impossible...

...

of?

Miss Karina wiped her mouth with a handkerchief while swallowing the liquid in her mouth with difficulty.

She suddenly had a terrifying, blasphemous thought...

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense... It's rare to be able to go out with Mr. Yang Hao... But why hasn't there been any progress lately? They basically just talk, chat, and greet each other... But... But... But lately they haven't even had any time alone!

Is it because I'm not proactive enough? Or have I just been too busy lately? Hela does need someone to take care of her while Ms. Sonia is busy, and Miss Theresa also needs my help with her work, but—but—if I go home after missing this opportunity, I won't have another chance!

In addition to Lord Koschke's previous body, Miss Gray is still alive and waiting for Mr. Yang Hao to return and help her create a new body... um...

And that Miss Margarita...

If this continues... won't I miss an even bigger opportunity than Miss Margarita?!

She swallowed hard again... She looked down at the handkerchief in her hand, thinking, perhaps it would be better to temporarily slow down the research on Mansu? After all, that research could be carried out at any time, but the rare opportunity to go out with Mr. Yang Hao wasn't something that happened every day...

"...So, what are you planning to do?"

Karina, her face flushed, made a barely audible sound. She turned her head to look at the open door of the room, afraid that Hela might suddenly burst in and hear adult talk that this well-behaved child shouldn't be hearing at her age.

"Just like I said—we need to divide the time."

"Um... I, I have no experience..."

"what?"

Playing with the now-empty cup, Theresa blinked sharply, then it was her turn to be dumbfounded: "No? Miss Karina? Are you really that innocent? Based on my experience and understanding, someone as close to the boss as you should have already... you know, right? Wait a minute? What exactly do you mean by 'no experience'?"

Is it that she has no experience at all, or is it that she has absolutely no experience with betraying her mistress? The latter is not surprising; Theresa had no experience either, but she found it very exciting!

But the former is outrageous! Don't tell me you've never worked with my boss, really don't—

"Well, the closest I've ever been to Mr. Yang Hao is... a kiss..."

"...ah."

Ah, Karina, you're still a virgin?

Should I have said that to you? If I hadn't, could I have just taken advantage of the boss and refused to give it to you? Sigh!

Theresa regretted it in her heart, but the words had already been spoken, and no matter how much she regretted it, she couldn't change the fact that Karina had been persuaded and dragged into it. Now, instead of worrying about how good the outcome would be if she stayed with the boss alone, she should think about what to do next.

Her first thought was how exciting this would be—and it really was.

After all, it is well known that Duke Koschei has been quite critical of His Majesty the Emperor, who was lucky enough to be caught in the crossfire, because he was unable to have a child with his boss. He even had murderous intentions. If, under these circumstances, Theresa secretly had a child with her boss, and Karina was also found to be pregnant after returning, then Duke Koschei would probably explode instantly.

At that point, she probably—likely—won't harm either of us. The question is whether the boss will even walk out of his room alive... And to be honest, Theresa has always felt that the head maid, Monica, isn't exactly loyal either.

Well—didn't the boss have a sexual encounter with His Majesty the Emperor back then? Theresa obtained this extremely confidential information through various inquiries, and she didn't believe that the head maid Monica was unaware of it.

Monica knew about this, but Duke Koschei did not, and it seemed she hadn't received a single word of it, only knowing that the boss had inexplicably received an extra 20,000 red gold for "nutrition fees"... um...

Monica, the head maid? You're disloyal too! Have you been cheating on Lord Koschche with your meals all the time?! My teacher told me, how many times a day did you have to go with the boss to be satisfied?!

"Not often, just once, maybe three times."

"Oh, three times—Momomomomo, Monica?!"

When the hell did you get here?!

Teresa nearly wet herself when she saw Monica, the head maid, suddenly appear in the room dressed in a maid's uniform. Seriously. Karina, standing beside her, was also startled and simply buried her head in the sand like an ostrich.

"Actually, you are very similar to Lord Yang Hao. I can tell what you are thinking just by looking into your eyes up close."

"Hiss... Let's put that aside for now. When did you get here?!"

"It all started when you said you wanted to get Miss Karina pregnant and make her dance to Kosich's face."

"Now you heard everything! But you, the head maid, are not loyal either!"

"Who says so? I've always been loyal to Lady Kosiché, you know. It's just that if Lady Kosiché really knew about that matter, His Majesty and her unborn child might die because of her impulsiveness. I didn't tell her about it for the sake of harmony between Lady Kosiché and His Majesty the Emperor, you know?"

"Who would believe that?! Now I understand why the boss was so weak during that time that he was shaking when he walked..."

Theresa's lips twitched.

Seeing the head maid looking at her calmly and nonchalantly, she gritted her teeth and decided to drag the head maid down with her.

Chapter 103

Dragging the head maid into the mess was a risky decision Theresa had to make—after all, who knew if the head maid would actually agree to her plan? What if she went back and told Duke Kosiché? She'd be finished.

Forget about having a baby with the boss, I'm afraid I won't even be able to go home in the future, and I'll be left to live a lonely and miserable life in Kazimierz!

So—head maid? How about we have a simple, ordinary transaction?

Well... since you've already kept the Emperor's affairs a secret from Lord Kosiché, why not keep this matter a secret too?

"Hmm? Although I don't mind keeping it a secret for you, Miss Theresa? Miss Karina? I still have to remind you, Lord Yang Hao is not an Ascended Person yet, you know? His body is very weak and can't withstand this kind of torment."

"..."

"...Um? Mr. Yang Hao is actually just an ordinary person...?"

Monica, the head maid, reminded them, and the two girls, whose faces were flushed, blinked and looked up at her at the same time.

No?

Is the boss an ordinary person?

Theresa looked at the head maid with suspicion: "Honestly, no matter how weak she is, she is still a battle knight and a business spy who has undergone brutal training, right?"

If the boss were truly an ordinary person, how could he have made her so weak she couldn't even walk without leaning against the wall? Impossible, that's impossible. I'd believe you if you said the boss was exhausted from all of you working her out, but you're saying he's just an ordinary person?!

You might as well say that Miss Margarita has already secretly started an affair with the boss, really.

"That's indeed the case. Lord Yang Hao is truly just an ordinary person, isn't he?"

"...hiss."

Then—maybe we should just forget about it?

If you really beg the boss until he's about to die...

Wouldn't that be terrible?

Theresa lowered her head somewhat unwillingly. But just then, she suddenly thought of something—

"But Head Maid Monica, weren't you transformed into this form by the boss? Why doesn't the boss give you a body like that too?"

Right, since the boss has the ability to make Monica the head maid so powerful, isn't it only natural that he should also strengthen his own body? Why doesn't he do that?

Theresa's question silenced the entire room.

After a moment, the head maid turned her head away and explained in somewhat embarrassed words:

"That's because... there are some special reasons... Lord Yang Hao has already explained it to me and Lord Kosiché... so, let's leave it at that."

"Oh..."

There is definitely something wrong.

Theresa and Karina stared intently at the head maid, who was inexplicably avoiding their gaze. They both reached a unanimous consensus: they had to seize the opportunity while their boss was out with them.

... .....

For some reason, Mr. Yang Hao, who was sitting in the conference room with his eyes closed, suddenly felt a strange chill spread from his tailbone throughout his body.

He opened his eyes in fright and confusion. When he noticed that his officers were still seriously discussing the division and functions of the special forces for the upcoming military operation, instead of his girls surrounding him, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he might have just scared himself.

Sigh... Oh well, since I'm already awake, it's more practical to see if my [Puppet Stage] can produce anything suitable.

With this in mind, Mr. Yang Hao, still completely unaware of his future, used his ability. He examined the various pop-up boxes on his [Puppet Stage], sifting through the diverse messages to find a few that required his attention. After carefully studying them, he discovered something very strange—

So that's some weird thing called a "betting agreement"? Um, Miss Elegy, could you explain what this is?

Subsequently, Miss Elegy answered Yang Hao's question.

[Betting Agreement: How quickly will the war in Colombia end?]

I'm losing my patience. What kind of life have you been living off the streets? So how about we make a bet—if you win, I'll give you even more. If you lose, then you'll have to come over whenever I need something, okay?

'...hiss--'】

It seems that his recent activities with Sonia's mother and Teresa's pony have thoroughly angered Miss Elegy, who has been drinking tea in the House of Elegy. But so be it, Yang Hao is actually running out of patience: how can politics be done well if he is on the same side as these insects in Kazimierz? How can the world be made a better place if he is on the same side as these insects in Kazimierz?

So let's gamble! I'm definitely not doing this for fun, really—

So, Miss Elegy? What's the deal with your betting agreement?

Yang Hao blinked, and after clicking on the betting agreement, he saw the following lines of large text:

If you can end the war with the Colombians before December of this year, the House of Elegy will provide you with items and abilities that strengthen your body.

Conversely, if the war cannot be ended before December of this year, then you will be able to grant me any request.

What do you think?

"...?"

Ok?
