Chapter 86: Young Master Hal’s Other Unknown Side (Part 2)
Ximengsi Continent’s southern region, Adelaide Kingdom’s strategic border town, Atad, Suzerain Earl Harrison’s residence
In Clyde’s luxurious VIP guest room, Clyde heard the request of Knight Aike and Knight Ailu. They hoped that Clyde could report the matter of Young Master Hal cultivating undead magic to Light Church and thereby indirectly save their Miss, Paladin Alicia.
As repayment, Clyde would obtain their everything. With Clyde’s understanding of Light Church, he guessed that reporting to Light Church would be useless. Bishop Nichols was the kind of person who clearly followed the money. If there was no money or benefit to be found, the report would definitely be like a stone dropped into the sea. However, reporting to “Radiant Saintess” Suhiya would leave some hope.
However, the Light Church investigative team led by Suhiya had lost over half of their members while exploring the Needham Plains, so she no longer had sufficient manpower to come and investigate the crime. Thus, it would also be useless to speak to her. Clyde might as well have directly requested Valkyrie Cynthia to take action since Divine World, at least, wasn’t as materialistically oriented as Light Church.
Unfortunately, Valkyrie Cynthia was still in the northernmost regions, participating in the battle against Demonic Dragon Alcurus, so she had no time to rush over to deal with this matter. As for the Valkyrie who had temporarily taken over this area, Clyde didn’t know her at all. In addition, during the invasion of Demon Realm and Ghost Realm’s joint armies, he had learned that there was a traitor insideGod Race. Without determining who the traitor in Divine Realm was, Clyde gave up on reporting this matter to the replacement Valkyrie.
Since righteousness couldn’t deal with this, only Clyde, an existence of the evil camp, could resolve this, making it an internal evil camp affair. The manipulator behind the scenes, Hal, seemed to be worried about the situation here; thus, he had arranged for a ghost to monitor Clyde’s room to see whether Clyde would put his hands on these two knights or not. However, in front of Clyde, the undead magic Hal believed to have mastered himself was simply displaying one’s slight skill before an expert. Clyde discovered the scouting ghost with a single glance.
“Aihe, Ailu, you two...”
“Lord, our bodies are hot. We beg you; we cannot hold on any longer.”
“Lord Hal gave us...”
Aike and Ailu’s complexions became bright red, and their breaths also grew heavier. Just before, they had been forced to drink wine and those strange medicaments. Till now, they had endured the temptation by relying on their knight profession’s willpower. Now, they were almost unable to bear it. Clyde didn’t want to take advantage of this occasion to claim them, but the crucial point was that there was a ghost monitoring everything. He rubbed the back of his head. It would be truly strange if he allowed a peeper to view his fun.
Seeing Aike and Ailu were on the verge of being unable to endure it, Clyde thought of a good idea as the past ambiguous scenes of Sigrid and Princess Natalie appeared in his mind. Thinking this, Clyde pretended to get into the bed, and after pulling down the bed curtain, he placed Aike and Ailu on top of one another.
Driven by lust, Aike and Ailu no longer cared about their knight’s honor also didn’t care that the person beside each was her own sister. Under the guidance of Clyde, they kissed each other’s lips and rubbed the other’s soft and charming body on the bed, feeling the smooth and elastic skin. They weren’t actually lilies, but their lust had forced them to comfort each other this way.
However, after the bed curtain had been pulled down, just by hearing the sounds from the outside, no one could tell whether Clyde was truly participating. Nevertheless, that ghost that Hal had sent to monitor the situation finally left after standing around in the room for a little while, allowing Clyde to finally sigh in relief. When he came back to his senses, Aike and Ailu had already become weak and limp without any strength while panting on the bed.
“I will help you two, but I don’t know what the results will be. As for payment...”
“Lord, we understand. As long as you help us, it’s enough.”
Now, the beautiful knights, Aike and Ailu, had no way out; they could only bet everything on Clyde. They got up with difficulty and let Clyde mark them with an exclusive slave imprint. Without a slave imprint, other people would notice the unusualness when they roamed about the palace; thus, under the insistence of Aike and Ailu, Clyde embedded his exclusive magic imprint on their elastic bosoms.
After marking them with his magic imprint, Clyde used the discarded red rope to bind them again according to the former style. Like this, Hal wouldn’t notice anything unusual and think Clyde hadn’t listened to Aike and Ailu but rather directly pushed them down. The current appearances of these two beautiful knights was expected after some rowdy sexual affairs, so it was difficult to not believe that Clyde had taken advantage of them.
“Aike, Ailu, wait for me to send news in the room.”
Aike and Ailu shyly nodded their heads. Now, they could only choose to believe in Clyde. Although they had not actually sacrificed themselves, after performing intimate actions with each other in front of Clyde, it might be said that they already had no secrets before him. In fact, there was no big difference between this and completely giving themselves.
After covering the beautiful knights with a quilt, Clyde got up and walked towards the door. At that time, a light knock came from outside. The other party was very courteous and didn’t directly burst in. Upon opening the door, Clyde saw Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia outside. Upon seeing Clyde, the faces of these two beauties turned red. It seemed that they still felt that it had been somewhat inappropriate for Clyde to gift them those appeal-style undergarments.
“Eh, do you two want to trade now?”
“No, how can that be? The money isn’t ready yet. The banquet is starting. Do you want to come, Mister Clyde?”
At this moment, Clyde realized that Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia were wearing special dresses for banquet that fell into the category of formal evening wear. However, they didn’t choose styles that revealed their shoulders and backs but rather comparatively conservative and traditional formal evening wear. Clyde didn’t need to think about their reasons at all. Now, they wore the gem undergarments Clyde had gifted them, so they couldn’t show any hint of what was beneath. If other people asked about it, then they would be too embarrassed to answer.
“Yes, I want to experienceEarl Harrison’s banquet. Please take me along! Oh, that’s right. How do you two feel about my gifts?”
“Gifts... the gifts were very comfortable..., No, excuse me, just now, I spoke incorrectly. The gifts are very convenient. Please forget my previous comment.”
When Clyde mention his gifts, the complexions of Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia reddened. Since they wore them now, they felt even more ashamed when Clyde had asked. Originally, they would have changed, but for an unknown reason, like the doings of ghosts and gods, they hadn’t decided to change into their usual undergarments and had instead worn Clyde’s gifts and sought him out as if they had wanted to let Clyde personally look over and appreciate them.
Clyde didn’t continue to tease Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia and simply followed them to the banquet hall. Before leaving, he quietly laid down an isolation barrier outside his room to guard against someone laying their poisonous hands on the beautiful knights, Aike and Ailu, after he left. Now, these two were important witnesses, so he couldn’t let any mishaps happen to them.
Clyde was perfectly clear about what Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia wore under their formal wears. The things he had gifted, he naturally knew best. Clyde planned to use the hidden function of the undergarments on the unknowing ladies at the crucial moment.
“Elder Brother Hal? He is refined and courteous. The ladies of many kingdom’s illustrious aristocrat families get along with him. He is a tender man. What, Mister Clyde, you... Are you interested in my brother?”
“Not interested... Prince Elvis requested for me to ask.”
“Mister Clyde, Prince Elvis is also a very elegant gentleman. Unfortunately, he doesn’t like girls. Are you a fellow enthusiast like him?”
“No, no. Princess Halisi, I was just casually asking.”
While conversing, Clyde timely placed Prince Elvis, the prince of Romandinov Empire, which was second to none in the Neutral Treaty Organization, as his excuse, making that philosopher prince take the blame. Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia didn’t find anything suspicious and continued to talk about other matters with Clyde, mainly concerning the origins of his treasures. With so many precious treasures, he ought to have many wondrous tales about how he had acquired things which could be sought but usually never found.
Clyde was confident in his ability to brag, so he kept boasting nonstop all along the way, only stopping when they finally arrived at the banquet venue. In the impressions of Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia, Young Master Hal had a positive image. It seemed that the other party had hidden himself quite deeply, not letting other people notice his true colors. Princess Halisi and Miss Vigina truly didn’t know the matter of that refined Young Master Hal secretly imprisoning Paladin Alicia.
Clyde felt it necessary to punish that Young Master Hal. If he let him develop freely like this, the next unfortunate victims would definitely be Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia. He even dared to make a move on a paladin, so regarding these two ladies who were just an Advanced Magician and Intermediate Magician, he had nothing to worry about.
In the brilliantly illuminated banquet hall, the royals and aristocrats who had come to participate in Earl’s Harrison’s major birthday party and Young Master Hal’s wedding had already gathered. All were guests of Cromwell Principality, Kruft Kingdom and a few other member nations of Clark Alliance that Clyde was familiar with. They, however, didn’t recognize Clyde and never thought that this person in front of them was the root of all the evil that had given their nations a headache in recent times.
Young Master Hal had already changed into a suit with a standard black swallow-tailed coat, looking like a true gentleman. He greeted the visiting guests while being surrounded by quite a few ladies coming from illustrious aristocratic families. All of them looked very beautiful. Vignia was right; her elder brother Hal truly was popular with women, or at least on the surface, it seemed to be like that.
Those beautiful ladies had sweet smiles on their faces, entirely unaware of how dangerous Hal was. That fellow truly had good acting skills. Without the accusations and revelations provided by those two knights, Aike and Ailu, Clyde would never have guessed that Hal would commit such a dark deed. After all, Clyde knew first hand how practicing dark magics didn’t make one necessarily evil. After seeing Clyde, Hal walked over to greet him while swirling a glass of wine. He bore a standard gentleman smile on his face as if Clyde were an old friend.
“Your Excellency Clyde, I heard my younger sister talking about your matters. If you have time, can you also tell me the legendary tales of how you obtained those treasures?”
“It’s not any legendary tale. They’re all just minor matters, nothing more, and not worth mentioning.”
“By the way, Your Excellency Clyde, what do you think of the gift I entrusted Butler Kenneth to prepare for you?”
“Eh, the gift was very... very convenient. Many thanks for your gift!”
“That’s good. Feel free to use it then. Using it until it’s ruined is also fine, I have a lot of new ones to replace it here. You can just get another when you need it.”
Clyde and Hal used the language only men knew to communicate. At the side, Princess Halisi and Miss Vignia were confused upon hearing their conversation. They knew neither what the gift Hal referred to was nor what it meant when Hal said it would be okay if the gift were ruined.
