Type-Moon, isn't this really the other world?

However, there was no obvious struggle.

But soon, as Lin Jiu'an tried to slip his pajamas through the deep V-neck, Trisha struggled.

She gritted her teeth and coldly refused, "Mr. Lin, please don't do this. I already have a husband."

"But I don't think your relationship is very good."

Lin Jiu'an smiled and stroked Trisha's slender waist, the spot where Trisha carried her personal props when she wore her coat.

"I've never seen a woman carry that kind of thing with her."

Trisha's body trembled, and her face flushed even more.

Lin Jiu'an's hands, which were caressing her waist, became even more unrestrained. He whispered in her ear, "It seems you haven't had marital relations in a long time, have you?"

"I...I...Waaah."

Lin Jiu'an's large hand resting on his waist seemed to possess a magical power.

Trisha wailed.

He lowered his head, his body trembling uncontrollably, whether from fear or something else.

The other person was right; she and her husband did indeed have very few opportunities to meet.

We usually only see each other once a year.

The main reason is that she doesn't like the other person.

Her family, Philoz, is a subordinate family of the Animusfia family, and is also an old magic family that has been passed down for seven generations.

Although she was the eldest daughter in the family and had exceptional magical talent and the ability to see into the future, her parents had a son when she was ten years old.

For the sake of the family's interests and to ensure her son could smoothly take over the family, she, the eldest sister, became a sacrifice in the family's arranged marriage. She was married off to the young patriarch of a family whose status was slightly lower than that of the Philoz family and whose lineage had only lasted for five generations.

If they are raised from childhood to be tools for arranged marriages.

Or perhaps she could marry a man more capable than herself.

But she found this outcome hard to accept. It just so happened that she had done some things for Maris Billy before, and after his daughter was born, he approached her hoping to become her daughter's tutor.

So she naturally took on this job.

From then on, she took care of Olga Marie closely.

Although her job is relatively relaxed, she deliberately goes home for personal reasons, so even though she has been married for many years, she has not seen her husband privately for several years.

But this doesn't come without a price.

That is, her desires are extremely strong.

Therefore, one must carry tools with them to barely quench their thirst, but this can only stop the immediate crisis.

It's like being forced to stop looking for a movie because of all the messages, phone calls, and the boss's demand for overtime. Although you don't succeed in the end, every interruption builds up the energy for the final explosion.

otherwise.

She wouldn't agree to come over wearing those clothes just because of Lin Jiu'an's slightest hint.

"I...I'm not that kind of woman."

Lin Jiu'an didn't continue; instead, he withdrew his hand.

Trisha's resistant expression froze for a moment.

I just felt empty inside.

Looking at Lin Jiu'an, she felt a hint of resentment and anger.

I came here dressed like this, and you actually believed me just because I said I was being modest? Are you even a man?!

'Thud.'

Lin Jiu'an raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

next second.

Ten bottles of wine, packaged exactly like the empty bottle, suddenly appeared on the table, completely filling it.

Trisha's gaze was instantly drawn to the fine wines.

His breathing became rapid.

Even Lin Jiu'an, who had originally placed his hand on his waist, had not noticed that he had moved it to his leg.

"Woo?"

Trisha groaned and came to her senses.

She looked at Lin Jiu'an, who showed no mercy whatsoever, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

"Mr. Lin, what kind of person do you take me for?"

Despite saying this, Trisha only struggled weakly a few times, and did not show the same fearlessness and unwavering loyalty as before.

On the one hand, those ten bottles of wine really tempted her.

On the other hand, that is...

Trisha was also worried that if she showed too much resistance, Lin Jiu'an might actually believe her and then stop continuing. What would she do then?

Lin Jiu'an pinched Trisha's chin.

"Be a good girl and listen to me, and I'll let you drink this every day from now on."

Trisha's breath hitched, and her beautiful eyes welled up with tears.

He said in a wet voice, "Please...please don't treat me like a human being!"

······

The Euryphal family.

The dark clouds cast a shadow over the corridors of the old house.

Sora walked alone in the corridor. Although she had long been used to the gloom, she still remembered the warmth of Fuyuki when she stopped to look out at the darkness.

Where are you guys?

Now it's not just Lin Jiu'an who has disappeared.

Even Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Natalia have disappeared.

Although her father still kept his promise and groomed her as his heir, Sora preferred her time in Fuyuki and would rather not be the heir if she could.

"Miss."

The sudden sound brought Solara back to reality.

At the deepest part of the corridor, before the dark door that the moonlight could not reach, stood a middle-aged maid dressed in the most classical and conservative attire.

The Euryphal family is the undisputed ruler of the Department of Spirit Conjuring.

Each generation of academic ministers is selected from a branch family and joins the main family, the Euryphus family, as an adopted son when they officially obtain the status of monarch.

This ensured the Euryphal family's dominance without causing discontent among the branch families, allowing them to rule the Spirit Conjuring Department for countless years and making them one of the oldest monarchical families in the Clock Tower.

Despite its long history and powerful family, the number of servants is very small, probably less than one-tenth of the number of servants in the Linglong Pavilion.

"Master has been waiting for you for a long time."

Sora nodded slightly and stepped through the door that the maid had opened.

It was a room full of ancient charm, with no modern facilities to be found. An old man sat behind a rustic desk, seemingly deep in thought.

"A phone call came from the clock tower..."

Without greetings or pleasantries, the old man named Rufreus went straight to the point, and Sora was already used to her father's way of speaking.

but.

It wasn't uncommon for her father, the monarch of the Spirit Summoning Department, to call from the Clock Tower, but it was much rarer for him to specifically call her over.

This is in conjunction with the recent rumors circulating.

"They've already made a move against the Linglong Pavilion...and invited us to join them."

"Father, what do you mean?"

Sora was somewhat puzzled.

She participated in the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki and was not familiar with the Reirōkan family. Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Natalia had also disappeared for a very long time.

"According to Aozaki Touko's report on this mission... Shuten-dōji has a new boy by his side, who clearly respects him."

"Jiu'an?!"

Sora was unusually agitated.

"Do you think... our family should get involved in this incident?"

Rufreus looked at his daughter with his somewhat cloudy eyes.

Sora's excited emotions were immediately doused with cold water.

Lin Jiu'an's return excited her, but then she suddenly remembered that the timing of his return seemed to be wrong, as it coincided with the period when Morgan's departure was fully confirmed and the Clock Tower was planning to take action against the Linglong Pavilion family.

No monarchical family could tolerate the existence of Heroic Spirits, which would break their "rules" that had been established for thousands of years.

Under her father's watchful gaze, Sora pursed her cherry lips.

Driven by emotion, she certainly hoped that her family could help Lin Jiu'an, and rationally, she also hoped so.

After all, this family has only ever cared about profit since she was born.

There is no humanity.

But she also knew that it was impossible to deceive her father, who seemed so frail that he could barely speak. She could only contemplate the possibility that 'the Clock Tower is truly no match for Lin Jiu'an.'

Then I thought about it carefully.

Solana's previously tense expression relaxed.

I don't recommend it.

"why?"

"Even if all those heroic spirits have departed, now that he has returned, who can guarantee that Morgan, Ramses II, Gilgamesh, and the others won't return in the future?"

Sora calmly met her father's gradually clearing and sharp eyes and explained, "Besides, although the Clock Tower has stood for a thousand years and each family has many trump cards, even if we can defeat it now, it is impossible to eliminate it."

Rufreus looked quietly at his daughter, waiting for her to continue her answer; he could tell she wasn't lying.

He actually had high hopes for his daughter.

To be precise, it was directed at her former fiancé.

The eldest son, Bram Nazele Sofiali, was very talented. Although he was not as good as Kenneth, he was already qualified to inherit the "monarchy". Therefore, this late-born daughter was groomed by her as a tool for marriage alliances from an early age.

In order to unify the not-so-robust aristocratic camp, he betrothed his daughter to Kenneth.

Unfortunately, Kenneth died in World War IV.

What infuriated him was that his daughter had lost her virginity to some random stranger and had even decided to be with him.

But what surprised him even more was...

Marisbury, the current head of the Animusfia family, who is also from the noble faction and whose talent is in no way inferior to Kenneth, and perhaps even more outstanding, stepped forward.

It should be noted that the Animusfia family is a "celestial science" family.

The path their family pursued was even more mystical than their necromancy discipline; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it astrology. Unlike the other eleven monarch families, the Animusfia family didn't concern themselves with worldly affairs at all.

What power struggles, what major events?

Unless they are really looking for trouble with the Animusfia family, they spend their days holed up in their family compound deep in the mountains, studying "celestial bodies".

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that their family are the most dedicated magicians.

Also the craziest.

The current head of the family, Marisbury, was active because of Chaldea, which was an impossible pursuit of the roots in the Animusfiah family's way, but he was busy with his own affairs and didn't care about external matters.

This person, however, came to him specifically because of the matter in Fuyuki, hoping that he could make Sora his successor.

It was extremely offensive and even hostile for others to interfere in such private family matters, but he was eventually persuaded.

“My daughter, Olga Marie, will be like Sora when she grows up.”
