Just by bringing it up, one could see her trust in Lin Yinxi increase significantly. It was not difficult to imagine how she would react when she actually found the crystal scroll at the place Lin Yinxi mentioned.

Well, Lin Yinxi felt that he had seen the future.

"There's nothing we can do about this deal..."

After all, without magical teleportation, it would take years just to travel there in real life. He didn't want to waste time on such things.

He had also thought about asking the Popes for help, but according to Minerva, the way teleportation using holy spells worked was completely different from magical teleportation, so he could not get the results he wanted.

So there's only one choice left.

"But, has the chaotic state been resolved? Well, if it hasn't been resolved, then there's a problem..."

As he walked forward, Lin Yinxi glanced into the yard through the corridor window.

Perhaps it was because Minerva pulled Lin Yinxi away that the chaotic state was resolved. The combat nuns who had been wandering around the courtyard had disappeared at some point in time.

Perhaps they had already returned to the Holy Kingdom. After all, their purpose in staying here was to protect the lord for the Knights of the Silver Dawn, and now that the Knights had returned, there was no need to stay any longer.

"Mr. Lin Yinxi, please wait a moment."

When he reached the door to the living room and was about to open it, someone stopped him. It was a maid he had never seen before.

"what happened?"

"I have received orders from the Lord. You are not allowed to enter the living room before obtaining her permission. This is the Lord's order. Please understand."

"Is that what Lord Aurora said?"

"Yes, I will let you know as soon as I get permission. I would be very grateful if you could come with me now."

Lin Yinxi stared blankly at the door of the living room, then turned around and followed the strange maid.

Although he didn't know the exact reason, since it was an order from Aurora, there must be a reason for doing so, so he decided to wait patiently.

"Um...um, Miss Maid...I haven't seen you before?"

"I have just taken over my grandmother's position and have been with the master since childhood. You can just call me 'Lana'."

Just as Lin Yinxi was hesitating about how to address the strange maid in front of him, "Lana" who was leading the way introduced herself first.

Well... think about it, Aurora has been on the throne of lord for some time, and the head maid who had been greeting them before looked very old, so it would not be surprising to have her granddaughter take over the position now.

"So, Lana...are the Knight Leaders with the Lord?"

"Yes. The master is currently speaking with the Knights General of the Silver Dawn. Do you have any questions?"

"I really want to know what they are talking about. They even ordered me not to go in."

Hearing Lin Yinxi's words, Lana stood still and stopped. Then she slowly turned her neck and stared at him.

She had the same expressionless face as her grandmother, showing no emotion at all, but for some reason, it felt a little different.

She may be simply imitating her grandmother.

"My master has not ordered me to remain silent about the conversation. If you really want to listen, I can explain what I heard to you. However, I personally advise you not to listen."

"...Um, can I ask the specific reason?"

"Because everyone is talking about Mr. Lin Yinxi. Specifically—"

"Okay, that's it, I completely understand..."

Lin Yinxi interrupted Lana. Just by hearing that, he already knew what they would talk about inside.

As Lana said, this was a topic he didn't want to hear.

Then, led by Lana, he walked up one floor and entered a room next to the stairs. The room was almost as luxurious as the previous reception room.

Lin Yinxi sat on the sofa according to Lana's instructions.

The refreshments were quickly served with a clattering sound.

He originally thought that Lana would stand motionless behind him like the other maids this time, and then look like a human with an expressionless face.

But she returned to the sofa with her share of tea.

With a plop, his butt landed on the sofa cushion.

"Ok?"

Looking at this unexpected scene, Lin Yinxi widened his eyes and looked at her.

Lana, who was sitting opposite Lin Yinxi, tilted her head, as if asking what was going on.

"Normally, even if I ask the maids to sit down, they would refuse. They might think it's an offense, but I'm surprised that you sat down directly this time."

"I'm a maid. Maids are not allowed to eat with their masters or with their masters' guests."

"So now...?"

"The Master also gave me another order, asking me to chat with you to relieve your loneliness. More precisely, the Master said that as long as I don't get bored, you can do anything to me. That's why."

Relieve loneliness.

Lin Yinxi looked at the maid Lana in front of him, who was sitting with her knees together, in an elegant posture, with her head lowered and sipping tea gently.

She is not the stereotyped passerby template. If you have to say, she has a feeling of a combination of Alice's straightforwardness and Erica's seriousness.

"As you can see, I'm not very good at chatting, so even if the master gives the order, it will be difficult for me to relieve your loneliness."

Hearing Lana's words, Lin Yinxi's mouth twitched subconsciously.

He sometimes wondered if he should practice not letting his inner thoughts show through his face.

"But my grandmother once said that the only way for men and women to relieve loneliness is not necessarily through verbal communication."

"what?"

Before Lin Yinxi could ask what that meant, Lana began to unbutton her collar. He saw that Lana was taking off her clothes with a stiff expression.

It was not until the buttons of the maid outfit were undone one by one, revealing her fair collarbone and black shoulder straps, that Lin Yinxi finally came to his senses and quickly stopped her actions.

Wow~ That was really thrilling.

"Wait, what do you want to do? Why are you suddenly taking off your clothes?"

“I don’t have the ability to help you pass the time with verbal conversation, so I want to use physical conversation instead.

Oh, because I'm a woman, in a way, this can also be considered a verbal conversation. Of course, not with the upper mouth, but with the lower mouth."

He was stunned when he heard that. Such vulgar words coming out of her stiff face were enough to make people stunned.

He managed to squeeze out a sentence.

"...I have no intention of doing anything like that, so please stop..."

"Ok!"

Lana buttoned her collar, lowered her head, and drew her knees together in an instant. Her speed was so fast that it made anyone think the determination and momentum she had just displayed were a lie.

How did she manage to button up her neck in such a short time?!

"Since this is your request, I am happy to comply."

At this moment, Lana's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. For ordinary people, this is an insignificant change, but for Lana, it is tantamount to a revolution.

"After all, if you decide to eat me right then and there, it would be tantamount to asking me to betray my master. Of course, I'm still willing to engage in a physical conversation if that's your wish."

"Are you still willing under these circumstances?"

"After all, what's the point of a mere 'maid' girl's wishes? However, my master will probably be furious. If the person who ate me is irresponsible, I will surely face a miserable death."

"..."

"Just kidding. This is a joke."

"..."

Were you kidding me? Seriously?

Lin Yinxi didn't know how to laugh at this joke, what was funny, or what to laugh at. He couldn't find any sense of humor at all.

His expression was very complicated, and at this time Lana's slightly upturned mouth corners returned to their original state.

"Nothing. Please forget it."

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward.

Lin Yinxi drank his tea quietly. Lana didn't even touch her own cup. She just kept refilling his cup when she saw it was empty.

After an indeterminate amount of time passed in this breath-holding, tense atmosphere, the door suddenly and quietly opened, revealing the face of another maid through the gap.

"The master has given permission for entry."

"I understand. Please tell the master that I will be there soon."

After answering, Lana arranged her teacup and tray of snacks at an astonishing speed.

Lin Yinxi also put down the cup of tea she was drinking, and even that was cleared out by her at an astonishing speed.

The cleanup was finished in an instant, and Lana placed her hand in front of her lower abdomen as usual, as if guiding him, and stood near the door to lead the way.

"Please."

Lin Yinxi followed her silently. Although he looked calm and composed on the surface, he was actually very embarrassed in his heart.

Maybe she thought it was a joke that was meant to be, but that was indeed Lin Yinxi's reaction.

"Would you like to come in?"

Arriving at the living room door, Lana grabbed the door handle. Then, just as she was about to open the door for him, she paused and muttered to herself:

"Please do not forget the indecent behavior I displayed towards you."

Before I could reply, the door opened.

Although it was short, he could see Lana's ears turn red for a moment, but it happened so quickly that he couldn't confirm it clearly.

He took a step inside and heard the door close behind him.

At this time, a quiet atmosphere greeted Lin Yinxi.

No, to be exact, it was very quiet before, but as soon as he came in, it became noisy again.

Aurora looked at Lin Yinxi with a bright smile on her face. Claudia was also waving to Lin Yinxi with a smile similar to Aurora's.

Erica and Alice were both quietly avoiding his sight.

The two of them avoided his gaze so much, it was obvious that something must have happened that made them feel guilty.

Finally, Liz's face turned red all the way to her head and she was trembling all over.

Well, now it's not difficult to guess what kind of conversation they had before.

He had experienced this situation once before in the Holy Kingdom, where Claudia smiled like that and Alice and Erica quietly avoided his gaze.

Aurora looked at Lin Yinxi with a grin and opened her mouth to speak.

"That's amazing, our Lin Yinxi. You're so tall, are you the same height down there? I'm getting to know you all over again~"

"My Lord, you heard such words as soon as you came in. Have you ever thought about my situation?"

"So what? I heard you like people telling you your cock is great. And there are witnesses over there. Besides, doesn't this just brighten your mood?"

Aurora pointed at Liz, who was blushing beside her, and Liz lowered her head with a red face.

When Aurora saw Lin Yinxi's ridiculous expression, she continued to laugh.

"Just kidding, just kidding. The Knight Commanders all had that expression, so I just made a joke to avoid making the atmosphere awkward. So relax and sit down."

For some reason, he seemed to suddenly understand who Lana had learned that "joke" from.

Lin Yinxi sat astride the empty sofa.

Seeing everyone reunited, Aurora regained her lordly demeanor and a serious smile appeared on her face.

"First of all, everyone, thank you for your hard work in the Holy Kingdom. Dealing with those religious figures must be tiring. For now, I'll leave the security of the city to my men. You all should get some rest. And..."

Aurora also rambled on a bit after that. Most of it had nothing to do with Lin Yinxi, but rather concerned the Knight Commanders. Especially Alice, who still had a lot of things she needed to deal with.

"By the way, didn't you want me to collect information before? This is all the information I worked hard to find, it should be useful."

Suddenly, Aurora's golden eyes looked towards Lin Yinxi. He nodded silently.
