You've found the Gusha-hime Knight, so put your hair up in a bun!

Suddenly, a strange bird call rang out from the forest, causing Norman to look up abruptly, his bloodshot eyes filled with confusion and hesitation.

But looking at the long and deep tire tracks in front of him, only ruthlessness remained in his eyes.

"They all deserve to die... No matter the cost, I will take my revenge!"

On the way to the Shiloh mansion, Elena rested her chin on her hand, gazing idly at the night view outside the window.

A cool breeze blew past my ears, and the annoying cacophony finally faded away.

creak-

"Miss, we have arrived at the lord's manor."

As the female guard's voice rang out, Elena waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need help, and then opened the carriage door herself and stepped out.

Upon arriving at the mansion gate, she was greeted by familiar guards and maids who then led her to Shiloh's room.

"The master said that you can wait for him here."

After saying this, the maidservant bowed and left.

Elena withdrew her gaze and reached out to touch the doorknob, but when the warm wood texture traveled through her fingertips, the young woman subconsciously withdrew her fingers.

Silence spread. Elena appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was filled with a complex mix of emotions.

What happened that morning caused her to lose her composure for the first time in her life.

Given Shiloh's opportunistic and never-give-up-an-opportunity nature, Elena could foresee an extremely difficult "battle" awaiting her when he returned to his room.

"Tsk."

With a cryptic click of her tongue, Elena took a deep breath, made up her mind, turned the doorknob, and entered the room.

After closing the door, Elena looked at the elegantly decorated living room, suppressed her slightly uneasy feelings, and stepped into the master bedroom.

The master bedroom contained a large bed that could comfortably accommodate three people. The magical lamp in the room was turned on, casting a warm yellow light throughout, but this did little to soothe Elena's mood; instead, it made her even more...

Elena frowned and casually found a place to sit down.

I had planned to sit quietly in the chair and meditate to pass the time.

But the room was filled with Shiloh's warm, sun-like scent, making Elena's heart race non-stop.

After all, she had only felt this warm, sun-like aura this morning, and it was when her heart was unsettled, which made her even more excited now.

"Damn it... that bastard."

Elena would never admit that she had reacted to such a scent, and besides, she couldn't understand why such an unpleasant smell as heather would be on the same person as this warm, sunny scent.

And so, in this unbearable torment, Elena finally saw the owner of the room.

Having just finished treating Irene's body, Shiloh pushed open the door and immediately saw Irene sitting in a chair. After a moment of surprise, he smiled and said, "You're here quite early."

Elena ignored that question and asked directly, "What are we going to do tonight?"

"Oh, so Miss Elena is really looking forward to getting intimate with me."

"What?! I didn't!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Luo pressed down on Elena's delicate shoulders, which were raised with her arched eyebrows, and lifted her smooth chin, teasingly saying, "Tsk tsk, you're really stubborn... You were obviously looking forward to it too, weren't you?"

Elena frowned at these shameless words and retorted, "Where's the evidence? You said I was expecting it, where's the evidence?"

Looking at Elena's calm face, Shiloh licked his lips, picked her up horizontally, and then roughly threw her onto the bed, causing her to let out a muffled groan.

"Evidence..."

Shelo deliberately drew out her words, then deftly unfastened her outer garment, revealing a black lace undergarment.

"Ok?"

Looking at the pinkish-white skin in front of him, Xi Luo was stunned for a moment, then touched his chin as if he was a little unsure, and moved even closer.

"What...what are you doing?"

Stared at her tender spot with such a direct gaze, Elena's purple eyes misted with shyness. She wanted to raise her hand to cover her little bud, but was pressed back down by Silo.

"Well... you..."

Shiloh looked up at Elena with a hesitant expression, then said in a strained voice, "Actually, I was just joking, I just wanted to tease you, but I really didn't expect this..."

This expression made Elena feel as if she had done something very shameful. She shifted her body, her fragrant breath escaping rapidly from her mouth, and frowned as she asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?!"

Shiloh remained silent for a few moments, unable to find a good way to phrase it, before forcing a smile to his lips and saying earnestly, "I've discovered something incredible, Elena."

"what?"

"You say you have no expectations, but isn't the evidence you've been waiting for right in front of you before I even arrived?"

Elena was taken aback, then a defiant look appeared on her face as she retorted, "Where's the evidence?!"

The sudden, precise headhunting startled Elena, followed by an unfamiliar tingling sensation accompanied by a sweet electric current flowing through her body, causing her to tense up as if she had been electrocuted, and a beautiful pink color instantly spread all over her body.

Elena stared wide-eyed in bewilderment, her amethyst-like eyes frantically glancing at Shiro's handsome face, then at his fingers in headhunting mode, her mind a complete mess.

"You...you...? Me...?"

Her cool and composed demeanor vanished at this moment, replaced by shame and helplessness that overwhelmed the girl.

"You've been holding it in like this, you don't know what that means, do you?"

After saying that, Shiloh exerted a little force and rubbed his two fingers together, which made Elena shudder again.

Although she had no actual experience, Elena had read quite a few medical books and was well aware of her current physical condition.

But, but!

But I didn't do anything!

It was just sitting in a room filled with this person's scent for a while... and then, subconsciously, I thought of some... not-so-good things, that's all.

How could it be possible to... based on just this?!

Elena covered her mouth tightly, turned her pretty face away, and refused to look at Shiloh.

She began to wonder if she really was that kind of...shameless woman?

But to Elena's surprise, upon seeing her like this, Shiloh did not choose to go any further. Instead, he lay down on his side and gently pulled her into his arms.

"What are you thinking about?"

A gentle, large hand rubbed the back of her head, reminding Elena of the times she used to snuggle in her mother's arms as a child.

The mother's movements were also so gentle...

wrong!

Elena suddenly woke up, gritting her teeth in frustration, thinking to herself that she must have been out of her mind to compare her mother to Shiloh.

This guy's true nature is that of a super wicked bastard!

But... why is this bastard's embrace so warm...?

Nestled in Xiluo's embrace, the warm sunshine seemed to envelop her heart, making her tense body soften.

"Do you...do you think I'm a very promiscuous woman?"

Upon hearing this, Shiloh was taken aback, frowned, and slapped Elena's round figure behind her, warning, "Who gave you permission to talk about yourself like that?"

The force was slightly heavy, and it was clear that Shiloh was very dissatisfied with Elena's statement.

Elena's body stiffened slightly, and while her buttocks felt a bit hot, she also felt a little warm inside because of this unusual "protection".

"Because, I'm just sitting here, and..."

Elena didn't finish her sentence, but her bright red little ears were already incredibly red.

"Ha, just because of that?"

Xi Luo smiled slightly, patted her head and said, "But doesn't this prove that you really want to be intimate with me? Well~ I'm just too charming, I'm already used to it."

"Tsk, narcissistic."

A soft muttering sound rang out, but Elena's tone became much more relaxed.

Chapter 40 Elena (Two Chapters Combined)

Elena didn't know what her own mindset was. In terms of their status, having already signed a slave contract, she was nothing more than a female slave who could be killed or taken at will. However, Shiloh's somewhat casual attitude made her unconsciously display a slightly presumptuous attitude as well.

Elena buried her pretty face in Shiloh's shoulder, biting her lip lightly, and reluctantly admitted that the other person's sense of hierarchy seemed to be really weak.

He seems really different from the other nobles...

"Elena".

Shiloh called out softly.

Elena didn't speak, but simply raised her head and gazed quietly at Shilo with shimmering eyes.

Admiring the woman in his arms's cool yet alluring beauty, Xi Luo's lips curved slightly, and his caresses became even gentler.

“I would like to correct one point: not all nobles are like Crow.”

His deep, dark eyes seemed to see right into her heart, and Elena's heart skipped a beat, but she remained outwardly calm as she looked back.

Knowing about her past experiences, and judging from the unfathomable thoughts he displayed, Elena also suspected that he might be using this to deliberately show his indifference to class in order to gain favor.

But Elena thought about it again and felt something was wrong. After all, she was bound by a slave contract, and her body was completely his. Why would Shilo go to such lengths to do these meaningless things?

Not to mention the vast difference in their social status, and the fact that the world is so vast that there must be many people whose appearance is comparable to or even better than hers.

Given Shiloh's status, he could easily have sought out women of exceptional beauty and strength, instead of being so fixated on her.

After her mother was brutally murdered, Elena has lived under the very nose of her enemy for years.

The high-pressure environment required her to be constantly on edge and vigilant about any possible weaknesses.

Only after gaining a certain level of strength did Elena dare to gradually expand into the outside world.

"First Release by ??0??u.com Reading Club"

Having gained some of Crow's trust, Elena did not relax at all; on the contrary, she became even more cautious in her evidence-gathering operations, right up to this day.

Such experiences inevitably made her personality suspicious and sensitive; she would try to understand the motives behind every single event.

However, Elena felt somewhat panicked by Shiloh's attitude towards her.

Because she couldn't find a reason for Shiloh to do such a thing. If he was only after his own body, he wouldn't have stopped just now, but would have gone straight to...

The status of a female slave is similar to that of a commodity that can be seen everywhere on the roadside. No matter how much someone likes a commodity, would anyone really ask for its opinion when using it?

Elena never believed in kindness or malice without reason, so she desperately wanted to find a reasonable explanation for Shiloh's behavior.

Seeing Elena remain silent, Shiloh removed his hand from behind her head, instead lifting her smooth chin, frowning as he looked into her purple eyes, and asked, "What, you don't believe what I said?"

Elena was about to shake her head when she was interrupted by Shiloh's sneer.

"Even if you had traveled with your mother before, it was for a short time and you were young. After that, in Maple Leaf Territory... well, to put it bluntly, Maple Leaf Territory is no different from the countryside in the entire empire. And you are just a short-sighted village girl."

Shilo poked Elena's pert nose, finding it quite pleasant, and poked it a couple more times.

The sarcasm in Shiro's words was undisguised, causing Elena to frown. She wanted to retort, but she knew that what he said was true, so she could only snort coldly and sulk. She pushed him away and turned around, leaving behind a graceful and slender back view.

But then, Shiloh's strong, hot body pressed against her from behind, encircling Elena's slender waist. He breathed on her delicate ear and then smiled as he admired the unconscious trembling of her beautiful body.

Where Shiro couldn't see, Elena puffed out her cheeks.

She discovered that Shiloh didn't seem to react much to such minor offenses.

"What, you're not happy with the truth?"

Xiluo hugged him tighter and laughed, "There are so many nobles in the capital, but not all of them are as beastly as Crow."

"To secretly murder his former lover to consolidate his position, and even his own daughter's views are merely those of a readily available tool for political marriage. I say, this isn't a matter of nobility, but a matter of whether he's even human?"

"This guy's behavior is even worse than some of the rough and savage orcs."

Shiloh's voice, steady yet magnetic, softly and deeply resonated in Elena's ear.

The accent he developed living in the capital gave Shiro a slightly poetic and elegant tone when he spoke, and what he said warmed Elena's heart... both physically and mentally.

"what……"

Elena frowned slightly, sighed helplessly, and tried her best to ignore the large hand covering her carefully cultivated little pomelo. Her pretty face flushed slightly as she said, "This little country girl is ignorant. I really thank you for your good intentions, Master."

It's a bit sarcastic.
