Chapter 84: Earl Harrison’s Celebration Ceremony (Part 2)

Ximengsi Continent’s southern region, Adelaide Kingdom’s strategic border town, Atad, Suzerain Earl Harrison’s residence

Under the guise of being one of Augusta Empire’s treasure merchants, Clyde successfully snuck into the palace with Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia acting as guides. He was then invited to join Earl Harrison’s major birthday ceremony and Young Master Hal’s wedding as a distinguished guest. In addition, he resided in a palace that was on the same level as Adelaide Kingdom’s imperial palace.

The wedding of Hal and the Princess of Grecia Principiality, Miss Alicia, would be held after a few days along with Earl Harrison’s major birthday. According to Clyde’s plans, at that time, Steinbeck Fief’s troops would take advantage of the occasion while Earl Harrison was occupied to carry out a sneak attack on Atad.

Although it was quite immoral to take advantage of other’s wedding and birthday feasts and might even be detrimental to his image if this news spread, Clyde didn’t care. In any case, he couldn’t be considered human, so he didn’t need to bind himself by a human’s perspective. Moreover, this was war. If you cared so much about such rules, then you shouldn’t fight.

Butler Kenneth who had been a butler for decades in Earl Harrison’s residence showed the way to Clyde. He could be regarded as the wily old bird. While leading Clyde, he also introduced the circumstances of this residence. Like a tourist guide, he was very diligent. Because Earl Harrison’s residence was comparable to Adelaide Kingdom’s imperial palace, a guest could easily lose his way.

Although Butler Kenneth was already getting on in years, this old man seemed very shrewd and capable. Presumably, when he had been younger, he had been a handsome man. As someone who had served as a butler for three generations of the Harrison Clan, he definitely had the qualifications to be the most senior existence in Earl Harrison’s residence.

After Clyde left with Butler Kenneth, Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia truly heeded his words. They locked the doors and opened the gift box that revealed a dazzling radiance. However, after clearly seeing the treasure inside, Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia’s complexion turned red.

The gift box contained a set of gem undergarments with exquisite workmanship. The pearl strings were weaved through gems to form a bra and panties. This style was clearly of the appeal-type, relying on those few gems to cover the key positions, and only the key positions. This type of undergarment had been worn by Cursed Queen Lafania and her younger sister Mephis. Clyde felt they were pretty good, so he casually recommended and promoted their sales when he had the chance.

Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia clearly weren’t as open as those two queens. Their complexions turned red and burning hot, resembling ripe red apples. The style of these undergarments was beyond their endurance limits. After eyeing the garments and considering their own sizes, their faces became even redder as the fit was nearly perfect, forcing them to wonder how that handsome treasure merchant had so accurately discerned their measurements. Being able to estimate these visually even when they had worn protective cloth was too terrifying.

Princess Halisi’s set was all sapphire, and the set for Miss Vignia was all ruby. While giving this gift, Clyde had specially matched the colors of their undergarments with that of their hair. In the depths of the gift boxes were also corresponding ultra-large gem rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces, which all used ruby and sapphire respectively. If they hadn’t known better, they might have mistaken this as a special gift to convey amorous feelings.

“Mister Clyde really is... How can he give this kind of strange gift?”

“Wait, Vigina, this is a dark blue gem, and yours is a blazing gem. They are all legendary things.”

“Eh, how can that be? Mister Clyde actually gave us these kinds of precious gifts!”

As an Advanced Magician, Princess Halisi was fairly able to tell good from bad; she was also more experienced than the Intermediate Magician Vignia. She quickly recognized the origins of these gems. The sapphires were dark blue gems of condensed water mana. According to legend, one could only find them at the bottom of the deepest trenches in the seas, and even then, it required good fortune. The rubies, on the other hand, were blazing gems of condensed fire mana. According to the legend, they could only truly be found in the boiling depths of volcanic craters.

Using these legendary gems as materials to make appealing bras and panties, even Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia, who were from royal and aristocratic families, felt that this was too extravagant. However, it was undeniable that these two sets of undergarments were very powerful magic items. After wearing them, coupled with the necklace, ring, earrings and bracelet, they could at least increase by a rank or two of their magic professions.

Thinking this, Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia were unable to reject this gift. Although their form was embarrassing, such strong magic items were priceless things. Although their faces were red, after checking the door’s lock, they hesitantly underdressed themselves. After a while, they took off even their interior final pieces of cloth, baring themselves to the world.

The undergarments Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia had belonged to the transparent garter series appeal-type, so they were able to accept the gemstone undergarments’ bold designs. Nevertheless, Clyde’s gift had been so surprising and pushing of their boundaries that they had still hesitated at first. They were so embarrassed that they absentmindedly stood naked for a while.

“Since this is Mister Clyde’s good intention, we cannot decline. He probably just wished to give us some magic items, nothing more. We shouldn’t think too much! Younger sister Vignia, what do you say?”

“Definitely, Big Sister Halisi. We cannot afford to buy such precious undergarments... No, magic items! Wearing them is fine. In any case, they are worn inside, so outsiders will never see them. Besides, wearing them wouldn’t turn us into Mister Clyde’s women.”

Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia were finally unable to resist the temptation of these magic items and gingerly slipped into the gem series appeal-style undergarments. After wearing them, they immediately felt the corresponding magic elements spread throughout their bodies. It was a very comfortable feeling.

Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia rested on Vignia’s big bed, feeling the magic elements course throughout their bodies, and a peculiar burst of comfort made them not want to wear other clothes for the time being. Cursed Queen Lafania and her younger sister Nightmare Queen Mephis, the designers of these sets of appealing undergarments, had a magic class profession in addition to being girls; thus, when designing these gem undergarments, they tailor-made them for girls with magic class professions, so the comfortable feeling was by design,

In fact, these undergarments had a hidden function. It was just that Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia didn’t know how to activate it. If that function had been activated, they would have felt even more pleasure. Finally, these undergarments had a hidden magical imprint, automatically sending the wearer’s real-time location to an outsider.

The activation of that magical imprint was based on temperature. After the gem’s temperature rose, it would automatically activate. In addition, with that special feeling of comfort and safety, Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia would never notice that their location had already been marked by Clyde.

After Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia wore those appealing undergarments, two transparent ghosts appeared at their bedside. These were simply ghosts that shadowed people without any resentment or malice. Even the high-level priests of Light Church couldn’t detect their existence. They simply reported the real time coordinates of these two beauties, nothing more.

“Mister Clyde, His Excellency Earl Harrison likes to be a bit ostentatious. When building this palace, all materials were purchased from Adelaide Kingdom. Oh, that’s right, some rather rare materials were especially purchased from Franconia Empire.”

“Oh,I was truly unable to tell. Earl Harrison must be a tasteful person.”

“Of course, to tell you the truth, in the entire Adelaide Kingdom, even His Majesty the King, King Halid the Second, is no match for His Excellency Earl Harrison in terms of wealth.”

With Butler Kenneth boasting about Suzerain Earl Harrison having wealth equivalent to that of an entire nation, Clyde could only pretend to agree behind him. At that time, after Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia wore his gifts, the ghosts immediately began to report to Clyde. Those two beauties were important figures in Earl Harrison’s residence. All the occasions they attended were high level, so grasping their real-time coordinates saved Clyde a lot of investigative work.

There were many bigwigs of Clark Alliance participating in Earl Harrison’s birthday banquet. Representatives of Cromwell Principality and Kruft Kingdom were also among them. Clyde feared that this surprise attack might completely offend the nearby Clark Alliance’s nations but decided that since they had already fought with the former two nations, offending Clark Alliance once again was not a big deal.

The people of Franconia Empire had not come since this was just a kingdom and principality-level banquet. Coming here would lower their status, so they didn’t dispatch anyone to participate in this banquet. They just issued a public congratulatory statement, nothing more. As for the other royal and aristocratic families of Clark Alliance’s member nations, Clyde basically didn’t recognize them.

While Clyde secretly observed the guests, Butler Kenneth brought him to a luxurious room dedicated to honored guests. In accordance with his status as a guest brought by Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia and a merchant of Augusta Empire with an honorary citizen medal issued by Princess Ophelia, he was afforded many privileges, especially since Augusta Empire had the same status as an emissary of Franconia Empire.

“Mister Clyde, we’ve arrived at your room. You can look for me at any time if you have any issues. Oh, that’s right! This room has a welcome gift already prepared inside. There’s no need to be polite. Everyone is from Clark Alliance.”

“Eh, got it. Butler Kenneth, I must trouble you to thank Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia for their kindness on my behalf.”

“Understood, Mister Kenneth! Have a wonderful night.”
