You promised to wreak havoc on the dungeon, but instead you've got Dragon Slime!

"Employment contract, ten years in length. Penalty for breach of contract... 100 million gold coins. Sign if there are no problems, start work immediately."

Alyssa was so anxious she was jumping up and down, her voice shrill:

"Miss! He's just a newbie! A one-year trial period is enough! The penalty for breaking the contract is outrageous!!"

Lilith's gaze, however, was fixed on Ron, as if she were looking at a rare treasure.

She waved her hand casually, a few sparks flying from her fingertips:

"I believe in fate. I think Mr. Ron... will become an extraordinary designer. Once he's achieved great success, the price to keep him will be far more than this."

Ron accepted the heavy ten-year contract, and beneath its cool touch, a subtle warmth quietly flowed through his heart.

He raised his head, his pale face showing an unprecedented solemnity:

"Miss Lilith, I will present you with the most perfect dungeon!"

Lilith's lips curved into a bright, fiery smile:

"hope so."

Chapter 2 Lilith Kevin

Lilith Kevin.

The only daughter of Duke Kevin, who wields immense power in the underworld.

Not long ago, she completed a grand and ancient coming-of-age ceremony under the watchful eyes of countless abyss lords.

As the newly crowned dungeon lord, her coming-of-age gift from her father, Duke Kevin, was an entrance to an E-rank dungeon leading to the adventurer's continent—

Black Language Grottoes.

Logically speaking, given her noble lineage, top dungeon designers should be vying for her attention.

However, fate played a cruel irony on her, or rather, bestowed upon her a curse called "surprise"—

[Dungeon Rebate System]

The rules are simple, straightforward, and incredibly tempting:

As long as her dungeon operation incurs losses, she can receive a rebate of ten times the amount of the losses!

But this devil's gift also comes with strict limitations:

1. The lord himself is prohibited from designing.

2. You are prohibited from disclosing any information about the system to anyone; otherwise, the system will be unbound.

3.…

The restrictions are as intricate as a spider web, numbering in the hundreds, effectively plugging up almost all loopholes.

Therefore, she could only try to get close to the designer of the dungeon.

The renowned designers I interviewed before were all too "outstanding".

Their talent, ironically, became the obstacle to her obtaining rebates.

Only Ron, whose resume was completely blank and who even dared to fabricate his experience, was the perfect "person" in her mind!

This is the origin of that ten-year-long magical contract with a penalty of 100 million gold coins for breach of contract.

How can we let such a "precious" talent slip away?

"I have no design experience whatsoever."

"I've never even been an apprentice or assistant."

"The dungeons designed in such a 'genius' way are absolutely beyond imagination in terms of how terrible they are."

"At that time, the adventurers' success rate... will easily surpass 90%, right?"

Lilith was secretly making plans with a sense of pleasure.

Just thinking about the huge losses caused by the 90% pass rate, which were like a landslide and a tsunami, and the tenfold return that followed.

Lilith could barely suppress the genuine joy that played at the corners of her lips.

If this continues, she will surely become the true uncrowned queen of the underworld!

Let the whole world be beneath her molten gold skirt...

I tremble at the sight!

……

Chief assistant Alyssa finally recovered from her shock.

Looking at the young lady's profile, she felt a surge of confusion.

She couldn't understand.

Why were those experienced designers rejected by the ladies one by one?

This vampire boy, whose resume was weak and even fabricated, was easily hired.

This is illogical, and even more inconsistent with Miss's usual style.

Alyssa's gaze, like an invisible probe, fell upon Ron once more.

He was leaning gracefully against the crystal chair, his raven-feather hair gliding across his pale forehead.

Under the eerie light of the giant magic chandelier on the dome, the bloodless skin exuded an almost eerie beauty.

In an instant, a terrifying thought gnawed at Alyssa's heart like a venomous snake!

"That must be it!"

She was horrified:

"Otherwise, there's no way to explain Miss's unusual behavior!"

Considering the potentially disastrous consequences—Duke Kevin's wrath, damage to the family's reputation, and the tarnishing of the young lady's future…

A tragic and resolute feeling welled up in Alyssa's chest.

She, Alyssa, was appointed by the Duke to assist the young lady!

She absolutely cannot allow her lord to be misled by momentary confusion!

She had to fulfill her duty, even if it angered the young lady!

With this thought in mind, Alyssa took a deep breath and stepped forward solemnly, saying:

"Miss, I request to speak with you privately."

"it is good."

Lilith glanced at Ron, nodded slightly, and went into the side room first.

Alyssa followed closely behind, closing the heavy black stone door behind her.

Turning around, as if facing a judgment of fate, Alyssa made up her mind:

"Ms. Lilith."

Her voice was low and earnest:

"There's something I must tell you frankly..."

Lilith was toying with a lava crystal goblet, steam rising from its rim.

"explain."

Alyssa looked directly into Lilith's eyes, her expression more sincere than ever before:

"You are an adult, and it is only natural for you to pursue your feelings during your youth. If you are in love with this handsome vampire boy, it is perfectly natural under the laws of the abyss."

"However."

She changed the subject, speaking seriously:

"This is a crucial period for you, as a trainee lord, to lay the foundation for your career! You need to be single-minded and devote all your enthusiasm to the management of the dungeon, without allowing the slightest distraction!"

"Besides, even if... even if you are determined to start a relationship."

She carefully considered her words:

"It is also essential to keep your personal life and career completely separate! Love is love, and career is career! Otherwise, if the two become entangled, you will only end up falling into the abyss and achieving nothing!"

Lilith listened to the advice from her father's trusted confidant, her brows furrowing more and more:

"Elisa".

Her voice was icy with offense:

"What are you talking about? I don't understand at all!"

Alyssa was taken aback, feeling that she had explained it clearly, yet her mistress had not understood.

Ok……

For the sake of Miss's future, even if it ignites anger, we must tear away that thin veil!

Alyssa mustered all her courage, the tips of her bat wings trembling slightly with tension:

“Miss! I admit, that vampire named Ron is indeed as beautiful as a pale rose blooming in the dark night, truly captivating! You are about the same age as him, so it is perfectly reasonable for you to develop…favor towards him!”

"but!"

She almost cried it out, with the despair of a guardian:

“You absolutely cannot hire this swindler who knows nothing about design and has no experience just because of this ‘goodwill’! This is not helpful, it’s utterly irresponsible!”

Lilith's face instantly darkened like a cloud of volcanic ash.

She is Lilith Kevin! The only daughter of a duke! With the noble blood of an elemental lord flowing through her veins!

Even when seeking a partner, one should be the most powerful and noble monster lord in the abyss, or a legendary being with elemental resonance!

How could I possibly be interested in that LV8 vampire bat who has nothing to offer except his face?

Absolutely absurd! It's the ultimate insult to her status and taste!

"Elisa!"
