Parallel Story: A Woman with Strange Ideas

The Bomenslik Imperial Academy was undoubtedly the most prestigious educational institution in the entire supercontinent. Specializing in teaching and mentoring the next generation of Aspirants, countless world-shaking men and women achieved this in part thanks to its support, leaving their eternal mark on history.

And the young Archduke of the lands of Draco Silva, Arthur von Pendragon, who had just entered the Bomenslik Imperial Academy due to pure aristocratic pressure, was destined to be at the top of all the Aspirants who acted as students of such a prestigious Academy.

Luminia von Estreints had no doubt about it.

Not only was he a prodigious "Awakener" who managed to sense the Aura, the manifestation of his soul, at the tender age of 12, officially becoming the youngest Knight in history; even leaving the famous first princess in the dust in terms of talent, but he also possessed a talent for alchemy unmatched by the average person, and a great ability to manage the affairs of state, despite his age.

A prodigy who puts countless geniuses to shame, that's how he was known.

In fact, his role as Archduke of Draco Silva was simply incredible. He seemed born to handle documents and direct his subordinates with ease comparable to breathing.

In this, he was equally remarkable as Nava Pendragon von Draco Silva, the young princess of the Archduchy, who was born with an incredible flair for business and a keen eye for recognizing and utilizing the talents of her subordinates.

It was none other than Nava Pendragon von Draco Silva, barely 15 years old, who acquired a few small guilds and turned them into a large commercial consortium, with hundreds of branches throughout the empire.

She combined the talents that helped her reach such heights with her keen judgment and ability to see and seize every business opportunity, coming to dominate much of the industry related to Alchemy and Magical Technology in just one year using business techniques never before seen in this world.

Although his journey to success unfortunately did not begin early enough to prevent the Emperor from using his parents' tragedy to force a betrothal to Arthur and Laura, allowing him to become Lord of Draco Silva in his uncle's place, Nava at least managed to increase the Archduchy's financial power to a point where the Imperial family could go no further under the guise of helping, at least for now.

These two were practically the ones who protected Draco Silva from the greedy clutches that wanted to swallow him whole with their own strength, and without neglecting their duties to their people, improving the quality of life of the commoners of their lands in the process.

They are truly amazing young people, filled with unparalleled talent and a temperament unseen in young people their age, as well as an unwavering determination.

Luminia and many others in the mansion admired them for that.

The only bad thing... was that neither of them was the most sociable aristocrat in the world.

They could interact with other nobles and participate in social events, of course, but they were only friendly with those they trusted, avoiding unnecessary contact, which, honestly, wasn't exactly a desirable trait in a society where your influence also depended on your connections and social skills.

To outsiders, the brothers' attitude toward him might seem generally indifferent or downright sarcastic.

Even with those with whom they needed to maintain a good relationship, their behavior tended to lean towards the purely professional, and they did not allow those who only wanted a false friendship in order to take advantage of their power and status to easily approach them, without bothering to pretend a nonexistent closeness.

They were certainly not the high society members of the century... and they had almost identical social tendencies, being unnecessarily outspoken and rather cynical.

It's not that she asked them to be perfect humans, but sometimes Luminia wishes they'd change that side of themselves. Not for anything else, but so she could make more friends and, above all, have more lovers.

Specifically, she was referring more to Arthur with that last one, since the number of women he has at his side, including her, was so low that it's simply embarrassing to his status. (At least for now, Laura doesn't count.)

In Luminia's perception, following the elven beliefs taught to her by her mother, a man as gifted and talented as Arthur, having the social position he has, should have at least 100 wives to ensure a flourishing lineage that will prosper for centuries.

After all, those with superior genes must pass them on to the next generation, as Mother Nature dictates.

Naturally, the women chosen for such a great man had to be exceptional as well, or the little offspring would be inferior. At the very least, Luminia was determined to filter out any unqualified hussies who foolishly approached her master based solely on their beauty and status.

Arthur deserves the best of the best among women as concubines... including, of course, Luminia.

She eagerly awaited the moment when the young man she loved was finally filled with the determination to leave behind many descendants while crushing any other man stupid enough to stand in his way.

That would be a day to celebrate for her, especially... a big night party together as sisters while pleasing her man would definitely be... stimulating for her.

An interesting fact is that, although he is given the title of a 'Dragon Knight' for being able to ride lesser dragons, he did not have the Extra Class of Dragon Knight, but it was unknown even to him.

Furthermore, his fencing talent wasn't spectacular, being barely above average. Quite poor for a normal Knight, let alone one of the so-called Dragon Knights.

Still, Arthur had a body to die for because he had an excellent training routine taught by one of the best captains of the Pendragon Knights, Kay.

Luminia, who was both his Head Maid and his lover, could proudly say that Arthur's body was one that would fill any woman who walked the right path (not lesbian) with lust.

He was literally a living work of art that anyone could appreciate, one that would make most men feel inferior, like they were miserable insects before a god. It wasn't just her biased perception of her lover; two of the mansion's most beautiful maids had said so after being lucky enough to see him train shirtless.

Not only that, his magnificent member, which seemed to have been designed by nature itself to conquer women's bodies, would definitely be etched in the memory of any woman I embraced in her bed. Luminia von Estreints couldn't be happier to serve such a wonderful man in so many ways.

However, lately her beloved Arthur-sama had been in a bad mood about something... For three days, he did not call Luminia or any of his other lovers for their nightly activities together in his chambers, and always spent his time locked in his laboratory doing alchemical experiments;

He only left when he needed to do his job as Archduke.

Luminia was worried about what was happening to her master... and a little sexually frustrated, too. No, saying little was an exaggeration.

I was completely sexually frustrated!

For someone like her, who considered intense sex with her young master a necessity before going to sleep, there was nothing more painful than the lack of sex for one night, let alone three.

If things continue like this... she might end up attacking her young master for sex in the hallways!

Now that was dangerous! Even though she was his mistress, she was also his maid! A maid can't attack her beloved master in any way, not even sexually! That's disrespectful!

Although she told herself so, she was slowly losing control beneath that smiling mask of hers.

Oh...My beloved Archduke is back ♥!

While lust and anxiety grew in the maiden with a facade of perfection and professional dignity, her young master returned from the entrance ceremony to the first years of the Bomenslik Imperial Academy, escorted by one of the most powerful stewards of the Archduchy and a nasty little thing.

In this world, in addition to managing the male servants, stewards also acted as bodyguards for their masters. Among them, Jhonatan Warmater is a true superman whom no one with a shred of brainpower who knew of his power would attempt to attack, unless they wanted to die in vain.

Not only because of his monstrous combat abilities and stats near the top of those in his Rank, but also because of his Trait, which allows him to manipulate space to a certain extent at the cost of a massive amount of mana. With that, you wouldn't even notice when the man attacked you seemingly out of nowhere.

If this man had not been preoccupied with various matters at the time... surely the previous Archduke and Archduchess would not have died as they had.

As for the thing itself…that is, the pink-haired maiden and her kind…there wasn't much to say, it wasn't worth wasting time talking a lot about anomalies like her.

The blonde haired maid watched as both men and a certain pink pest—I mean maid—entered the mansion's foyer, with Arthur—more handsome than usual—walking with a poise and flawless elegance that always captivated her as he seemed to look around blankly for some reason, before finally settling those beautiful, magnificent golden eyes she loved so much on her.

Joyfully, Luminia quickly went to greet him using her characteristic smile.

Jhonatan and the thing(Franx) left after a nod and Luminia approached her young lord with an elegant step.

Compared to when he was heading to the Bomenslik Bomemslik Imperial Academy, Arthur not only looked strangely more attractive than ever, but also visibly more relaxed than before, something that made Luminia sigh in relief with her pounding heart.

However, that feeling would soon be replaced by a murderous rage.

When she greeted him and asked how the Academy ceremony had gone while containing the growing desire to strip him naked, her young master casually complained about how some insignificant country noble wanted to waste her precious time.

Some insignificant noble vassal of some even more insignificant idiot dared to waste my Arthur-sama's time!?

That was simply unacceptable to Luminia.

The other party wasn't even a woman, but a man of such low rank that even Arthur seemed to despise him, proving just how pathetic he was. Someone like that messed with Arthur, the Archduke of Draco Silva?

Arthur was someone many people admired greatly.

Wasting her time or even slandering her was enough to make Luminia want to mercilessly kill the person responsible after torturing him.

Of course, she really couldn't do something so unseemly that it would give her love a bad reputation, especially since he gave mercy to the insect that dared to bother him.

But he thought it was understandable that this irritated her, something he had to avoid showing because he didn't want to show Arthur anything unpleasant. Besides...

Damn bastard! What if because of you, Arthur-sama still doesn't want to have sex with me today?  She thought bitterly, crying tears of blood inside at the thought.

...This maiden was a lost cause, there was no doubt about it.

Luminia quickly controlled her emotions when she saw that her master and mistress's mood seemed quite normal even with that incident, though she vowed to find out who that idiot was and punish him, even if it was very difficult to trace the identity of a Bomenslik resident student to do something bad to him.

Of course, I would later discover that it would be easier than I thought to punish the idiot who bothered Arthur at the academy…

However, all her disturbing thoughts quickly disappeared when Arthur finally invited her to his room for their evening activities again, filling her heart with overflowing happiness; to the point that she temporarily forgot about both that matter and the news she had to give him.

However, as the latter was much more important, he quickly recovered and gave him the good news about the tax reduction on his products thanks to negotiations (threats) with the Minister of Commerce.

It was Nava's unexpected luck that an extremely foolish count tried to commit fraud against the Archduchy because he was one of those fools who still underestimated the young Archduke of Draco Silva.

Of course, it was a misfortune for the Minister of Commerce that this same count was the husband of his younger sister.

If he was caught committing fraud against a high-ranking noble like an Archduke, let alone the Emperor's son-in-law, the punishment would obviously not be small.

Furthermore, the foolish Count tried to sell them a mine of depleted Magic Crystals, claiming that they had discovered a new vein with the help of a powerful sorcerer who was involved in the plot.

A fraud involving valuable magic crystals of great strategic value to a nation was a crime punishable by enslavement. If discovered, even his family would have been implicated, even if they hadn't been part of the scheme in the first place.

The count had most likely planned to flee to another country once he had the money in his hands, but he was unlucky and now his actions were being used for the benefit of the archduchy.

Of course, he didn't get away with it, as he became a "slave" to Nava and his trading company for the rest of his life.

Although he had to admit that if it weren't for one of Arthur's lovers who had a special trait that allowed her to see through his elaborate deception, they would have ultimately fallen for it. Something that didn't make him very happy, honestly, since he had some disagreements with that person...

But whatever happens, they were the ones who lost.

However, Luminia somehow felt there was something odd about the whole business of a well-established Earl doing something so risky... but she didn't think much of it. She wasn't good at politics or elaborate schemes; she was just a half-elf with great skill in nature magic and a maid skilled in housework, managing maids, and the art of the bed.

Anyway, when Arthur went to his room after smiling happily at the news, Luminia went to her own room, intending to carefully choose what underwear she should wear this time.

A lustful smile formed on her beautiful face as she waited expectantly for what was to come.

I'm already waiting for it to come on~

She, who was happy, had no idea of ​​the shocking events that would occur shortly after.
