Sadly, Matthew's effort went to trash because Ekaros instantly recovered due to his bloodline ability Corruption, and also gained valuable resources for his artifact.
....
"It's useless!! There is no point in searching for a treasure in here, which that royal enforcement officer might like.
There is no way a treasure would come flying at me in the city and then I would happily present it to that man.
But then, what is the Viscount planning? Why make us split and then have us search for treasure."
Vivian though as he was holding a snack in his hand to have a quick meal. His forehead scrunched as the though of a deadly scheme seemed possible.
"Does he suspect another rebellion, and he wants us to show our true color like Mathew did?
Or is he literally giving us the chance to run away from that man??
I would have loved to directly ask for an answer from Ekaros but he went away by himself."
Due to how open the men were with Ekaros, they easily put their trust in Ekaros but he was different. Even after this long of serving under the Viscount, he knew that in front of benefits there was a chance that he could be discarded.
But the again, he too had this little optimism and faith in Ekaros which caused him to think of the possibility that this was a chance give by Ekaros for them to escape.
"Let's collect whatever I have, I would be able to reach the mansion by the night."
He completed his meal and then decided to head back to the mansion, taking whatsoever precious metals, herbs and artifacts he had collected.
At the mansion.
"That room is fully lit! Isn't that the room assigned to that man from royal enforcement?" Vivian reached the mansion quite late and glanced at the lights of a room fully bright, appearing extravagant just from the looks.
Since it was quite late already, he believed that everyone would have gone to sleep. But the cause of all his troubles still seemed to be up for some reason.
"Wait, there is a lady at the window with him. Does he not realize that the servants can see him? There are truly other man in this kingdom with strange taste like Sir Ekaros."
He saw a figure of the lady whose face was covered fully by her hair, bent over near the window and naked from top. He instantly recalled the Viscount, how he was so different from the other nobles.
He pulled his manhood out of her, and made the married woman kneel on the ground.
Lisa did as she was ordered, her face had turned red from the physical activity and her body had various marks, all the marks from the past few days she had spent together with Rae.
She knew that the young man was strong and a prodigy but his stamina was something she never took into account. It was never enough for him, he only stopped after she gave in to the pleasure. There was no chance of her resisting the young man.
Lisa, used to his demands, began to clean up Rae's manhood after he had just ejaculated inside her. It was around time when she got back to her room.
Things were really hectic these days, no one was here in the mansion except for the maids. Rae was the one and only authority in the mansion. He called her every day, whenever he wanted, and she unable to resist had to serve him, not that she did not like it.
Lisa cleaned up as she began to dress up to return back to her room. She walked slowly, her legs and abdomen shaking as she took a step, but she was used to it now.
...
"Hmm, It's fun. She is an interesting lady, taking initiative and not hiding the fact that she is liking it. She is similar to Maria but is younger than her." He recalled the sexy milf he had before he joined the academy.
"I hope the time passes quickly. I need to head back to the academy too." He was quite bored of playing the villain but he wanted to test out his strength against Ekaros.
Since, he was beaten to submission the last time when he had fought against Ekaros. He had been training from that time, training day and night to have a battle against him. To have revenge on that man..
However, now that he was really close to achieving it, he was not that excited anymore. Even during the training years, after some time he had no interest in taking revenge.
It was not that he had forgiven but just the fact that he could do so much with Ki had him occupied. But that did not mean that given the chance, he would forgive Ekaros. He was planning to kill him before leaving.
Also, Earl Ian had wanted him to check if Lisa was a potential candidate to succeed the Viscount's position.
He wanted to make Lisa a puppet and have her become the Viscount which would be under his command, that was the request he had made for Rae.
Rae was not that interested in becoming a lord of the area. Since, he was able to get Ian to owe him a favour, Rae decided to go with it.
As for the part about seducing Lisa, that was something he could not resist. Rae had his eyes on that sexy woman from the very start.
That time, he knew that the woman was already in infidelity, and it was going to easy to get her. He even blackmailed her and made her strip naked in the open, and got some money from her.

"It would be great if she ends up becoming the Viscount, though I am not sure if I would visit her again after finishing with the task at my hand." He was planning to go for royalty next, and he already had his sights on them.
