The next second, flames engulfed Anies' entire body, and his agonizing screams echoed throughout the garden.

In the palace gardens, seeing Anies writhing on the ground, engulfed in flames, Henrietta approached Bai Zhe with concern and asked him:

"Your Majesty, is it really alright for Anies to do this?"

Anyone who saw her like this would feel that she was enduring unimaginable pain, and with the raging flames on her body, an ordinary person would only die in this situation.

Siesta answered Henrietta's question. As the Demon King's personal maid, she was aware of Anies's current situation.

"His Majesty's blood is transforming Agnes's body, making her stronger. Everything that is happening before your eyes, Your Highness, is just the process of her gaining power."

"Is this..."

Siesta's words silenced Henrietta.

She had never seen such a method of acquiring power on this continent before.

Ten minutes later, the Valier family's carriage stopped outside the palace.

Because of Louise's status as the Demon King's favorite concubine, neither she nor her entourage could enter the palace directly without prior notice.

So, after inquiring about Bai Zhe from a palace maid, the girl brought her two older sisters to the garden.

However, upon arriving here, Louise once again witnessed the same scene she had seen on Fukai at the academy that day.

Led by her two older sisters, Louise stepped forward and, upon reaching Bai Zhe's side, immediately asked, "Did you bless her?"

"Ah."

Bai Zhe nodded upon hearing this.

However, this answer led to a misunderstanding between Eleonor and Katria, who were brought by the girl.

Especially the latter, seeing the veins bulging on Anies' forehead, his hands gripping the soil tightly, yet still letting out a huge, painful howl.

Even this seasoned female knight showed such a pained expression, as Katalia's rationality told her.

Given her current physical condition, it's uncertain whether she would survive if the same thing happened to her.

Eleonore shares the same idea as her sister.

She pulled Louise to her side and whispered, "Louise, maybe we should just forget about it. Given Cateria's current physical condition, it would be too much for her to suffer like this..."

Although Eleonore didn't continue speaking, Louise understood what she meant.

Upon hearing this, Louise immediately explained, "Ha—! I could never allow my sister Cateria to suffer like that!!"

Hearing Louise's answer, Eleanor immediately became curious: "How did you do that?"

Faced with her older sister's questioning, Louise blushed and stammered, "..."

"Of course...yes, yes..."

"Oh dear, Eleonor, you don't need to worry about that. Anyway, Katalia will only feel comfortable, not in pain!"

Seeing the blush on her younger sister's face and carefully considering her words, Eleonor, who understood the meaning behind the girl's words, also blushed shyly.

Although the two tried their best to lower their voices, those present could still hear the sisters' conversation.

Siesta and Henrietta blushed slightly. To avoid upsetting the three sisters, they kept their eyes fixed on Anies, silently cheering her on.

Katalia, who was the person in the conversation between the two sisters, blushed. Especially after noticing Bai Zhe's gaze on her, her ears turned bright red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment, remaining silent.

In this ambiguous and awkward atmosphere, it took several more minutes before Anies finally stopped his painful wailing.

Her once spirited face was now covered in sweat, and her beautiful golden hair, damp with sweat, clung to her face, adding a touch of feminine charm.

Having emerged from the blessed trial, Anies was like a drowning person struggling with all their might to reach the shore, gasping for breath of fresh air.

Half a minute later, feeling the power within her body, she got up from the ground, knelt on one knee facing Bai Zhe, placed her right hand on her chest, and lowered her head:

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty Bai Zhe!"

"I, Anies de Balier Milan, swear at this moment that I will be your sword for life, and that my soul will serve you until my death."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe simply nodded calmly and said, "Get up. Let me see how you've improved compared to before."

This was the first time he had bestowed a blessing upon a knight who had trained for many years, so of course he had to observe him carefully.

"Yes."

After giving a solemn reply, Anies stood up, then bent down slightly, took a running stance, and with a powerful backward movement, flew out like an arrow released from a bow.

In just a few seconds, they circled the lake next to them.

Upon seeing this, Bai Zhe also gave his evaluation.

"Not bad, the speed is probably between twenty and thirty meters per second. Now, let me see the limits of your reaction and strength."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Bai Zhe swung his longsword directly at Anies.

However, because the difference between the two was too great, the Demon King naturally suppressed his power to the same level as his opponent.

Even so, Agnes could only barely withstand Bai Zhe's attacks for the first half minute, and after that, she showed signs of defeat.

"Faster, faster, even faster!"

Urged on by Bai Zhe, and not wanting to disappoint the Demon King, Anies seemed to be burning her own potential, and her strengthened limbs and internal organs experienced burning pain.

Ten minutes later, the sword finally slipped from Anies's hand, who had burned herself out, and she fell straight to the ground.

Seeing this, Bai Zhe pricked his finger again and put a drop of blood into her mouth... He did the same thing again until Anies's mental strength reached its limit, and her physical strength was finally equivalent to that of a car running at high speed.

Through repeated practice of swordsmanship, flames began to appear on the longsword in Bai Zhe's hand.

That was the effect of swinging the sword hundreds of times in a single second. No ignition or sparking was needed; the sword only needed to slice through the air to create countless sparks, burning the enemy to ashes in one fiery strike after another.

Bai Zhe named this sword technique the Firelight Swordplay.

After Anies collapsed again, Bai Zhe stopped feeding her blood and instead cast a healing spell on her, which gave the ashes Anies the strength to barely stand up again.

Wielding his longsword, creating hundreds of fiery red sword energy trails in the air, Bai Zhe slowly looked at Anies and said after sheathing his sword:

"Thank you for your efforts today, Miss Knight."

Upon hearing Bai Zhe's gratitude, Anies was immediately flattered and knelt down on one knee: "It is my honor to have helped you."

Seeing Bai Zhe plant his sword in the ground, Louise immediately went to his side and asked obediently:

"Bai Zhe, your time for learning swordsmanship is over, right?"

"ended."

While answering the girl's question, the Demon King led her back to the pavilion. After taking the tea from Siesta and taking a sip, he let the girl sit in his lap and asked her, "Is it about Katalia?"

He had overheard the sisters' conversation earlier, but he was more interested in swordsmanship at the time, so he postponed the matter of Katalia.

After all, the other party is right here and won't run away.

Upon hearing this, Louise naturally told Bai Zhe her thoughts and requests in detail.

“Sister Katria has been in poor health since she was a child. Can you help her?”

Seeing the girl even suppress her arrogant nature to help her older sister, blushing and hugging her arm affectionately.

Bai Zhe said helplessly, "I gave her a choice this morning."

After he finished speaking, his gaze also turned to Katalia, who was standing to the side.

"Cattleya, what's your answer? Now you should tell me, right?"

This time, knowing Louise's thoughts, Katalia naturally no longer hesitated and nodded gently with shyness and anticipation.

"Ah."

She also wanted to have a healthy body that could run 600 meters and jump, and now she has finally seized the opportunity!

Seeing this, Bai Zhe glanced at the sky and said again, "In that case, come to my room after dinner to receive the blessing."

Dinner ended quickly amidst Catelia's shyness and the girls' allure.

Later, because Katalia was going to Bai Zhe's room, Louise pulled her into the royal bath.

Besides the two sisters, the others who accompanied them included Bai Zhe, Xie Shita, Henrietta, and Anies.

In the misty steam, the pink-haired girl looked at the Demon King leaning against the shore, enjoying a shoulder massage from the black-haired maid. A shy blush appeared on her face, and she covered her private parts with her hands.

It wasn't until Louise reminded her that she stepped into the water, immersing most of her plump, peach-like body in the hot water, leaving only her head above the surface, shyly and expectantly gazing at the Demon King not far away.

About ten minutes later, Bai Zhe got up and left after his bath, with Xie Shita, his personal maid, following behind the Demon King.

But then, an unexpected person left a few minutes after Bai Zhe left the bath.

This person received the blessing of the Demon King's dragon blood at dusk, surpassing the previous Anies.

After receiving permission from Henrietta, one of the people she served, she left the bath and went directly to the Demon King's bedchamber.

The blonde female knight pushed open the door and entered. As soon as she came in, she saw the Demon King sitting by the window, holding a wine glass and sipping his wine.

What puzzled her was that the black-haired maid who had left with the Demon King was not in the room at the moment.

Not only that, she also heard a smacking sound of water.

Upon hearing footsteps, Bai Zhe slowly turned his head, and the figure of Anies was reflected in his burning golden eyes.

“I knew you’d come back. Good thing, consider it a demonstration for shy Katalia.”

"Alright, stop standing there like an idiot, come in."

Listening to Bai Zhe's words, she didn't notice the messy maid outfits scattered on the floor until she walked in.

The black-haired maid she had previously thought was missing was now kneeling before the Demon King, performing the duties expected of a personal maid.

Let's hype up the atmosphere before the arrival of Katria, the true master who serves the Demon King today.

Siesta's earnest efforts made the spirited female knight Anies blush and her heart race.

Seeing that her purpose had not been rejected, she slowly unbuttoned her clothes and said to Bai Zhe, "I apologize, Your Majesty, for my rudeness."

A few minutes later, the door was opened again, and shy Katalia was pushed in by her older and younger sisters, who then slammed the door shut.

Once inside, Katalia froze, completely bewildered, because no one had told her what to do next!

Seeing this, Bai Zhe naturally got up from her chair and let Anies and Siesta demonstrate for her.

That night, Katalia seized a healthy future.

Outside the door, the two sisters, who had been listening intently, heard nothing. Louise immediately knew that Bai Zhe had used a soundproof barrier, and she also knew that what was going to happen inside had already happened.

Then, the girl angrily dragged the bewildered Eleanor away from there, heading to Henrietta's room, where they played with the princess until midnight before finally going to sleep.

The next morning, in the princess's room, the three girls, who were fast asleep, were awakened by an explosion.

Louise immediately threw back the covers and sat up, looking utterly shaken, and said, "What happened? Albion attacked!!"

However, the girl's idea was immediately rejected by Eleonor.

"Absolutely impossible! Even if Albion and Gelmania launched their attack ahead of time, they could never have reached the royal city so easily!"

Just then, Henrietta, who had left her bed and come to the window, also saw the culprit behind the explosion.

"It's Katria and Agnes."

Upon hearing this, Louise's expression immediately turned incredulous: "Sister Katalia and the others got up so early? And made such a commotion?"

You should know that the first time she did it, she didn't have the strength to wake up until the afternoon.

After receiving Bai Zhe's blessing, how could her second sister actually achieve this level of power?

Or perhaps the other person had been suppressing their true nature for too long due to health reasons, and now that their body has not only recovered but also improved, they have finally released their repressed nature?!

Upon hearing this, Henrietta explained, "It seems like they're fighting."

"Huh? A battle?"

Louise was completely dumbfounded by her best friend's answer. Was her gentle second sister really this rude?
