"I should be the one apologizing to you," Ethan said while embracing Emma in his arms and patting her head. "I got too greedy for information. I'm sorry."
After making sure that Emma had recovered a little, he carried her like a Princess and brought her to the master bedroom inside the Tree House so that she could rest properly.
Since she wasn't feeling good, he decided to give her a massage. This was his way of apologizing and rewarding her at the same time, which the young lady gladly accepted.
However, before she took off her clothes, she made sure to remove the mask from her face, making her revert to her original body.
The mask allowed its user to completely change their appearance to that of another person's, down to the smallest details of their body.
However, the mask could only record one appearance at a time.
Also, the owner of the mask could only change the saved appearance after a year had passed.
Only those from the Meredith Clan could use this artifact, so even if it was stolen by someone, they wouldn't be able to abuse its effects.
This wasn't the first time Ethan had seen Emma's naked body, but he once again had to admit that, among his lovers, she had the most voluptuous body.
It was as if she was born to make men fall under her charms in exchange for the most pleasurable experience in the world.
Unfortunately for them, Emma's heart and body belonged to Ethan, for she was his Promised One.
The beautiful lady laid down on the bed and allowed her Master to massage her back, making her feel good.
This was the first time Ethan was giving her a massage, and she was loving every second of it. Searᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Half an hour later, he ordered her to face him so that he could massage the front of her body.
As soon as she turned around, Ethan lowered his head to kiss her forehead before moving down to kiss her lips.
The two of them shared a few sweet kisses before Ethan returned to massaging her body.
With such a temptation presented before him, Ethan found it hard to stop himself from looking at Emma's curves, which she would gladly give him if he wished for it.
However, Ethan did his best to endure and continued massaging her.
Unfortunately, his endurance only lasted for a few minutes. He lowered his head to kiss her right breast and started to massage it with his hands.
A muffled moan escaped Emma's lips as her Master started to eat her up while his hands caressed her body.
She had asked Ethan to make love to her only after he completed his coming-of-age ceremony, and Ethan promised that he would wait until then.
The most that the two of them had done was sleep together in a literal sense.
But, now, the young man's lips were busy suckling her breast and planting kisses on them, which she loved very much.
"Master…" Emma said as a shiver ran down her spine.
"Don't worry," Ethan replied before leaving a kiss mark on her cleavage. "I'll keep my promise."
After that few minutes of intimacy, Ethan reluctantly pulled back and continued massaging Emma's body.
However, he noticed that her body had started to heat up, wishing to find release.
In the end, he took it upon himself to give her what she wanted, using his hands and lips to calm her down.
Half an hour later, the young lady slept peacefully on the bed while being held by her Master in a loving embrace.
'It's a good thing that I left Lilith behind,' Ethan thought as he planted a lingering kiss on Emma's forehead. 'It would have been awkward if she was here.'

Inside Ethan's Room in the Dud Manor…
'Lucky her.' Lilith sighed as she stared outside the window of Ethan's room.
Since Ethan was going to Limeburgh Town with Emma, Lilith did the sensible thing and stayed inside her Master's room while he was away.
Both of them were members of the Protector Clans, so the Black Cat was aware that Emma had the means to protect Ethan, which was the snake armlet that their Master had given to her.
Also, she had a feeling that Emma would take this opportunity to strengthen her bond with their Master, making Lilith very envious.
"I think it's about time to tell him the truth," Lilith muttered. "Yes! I should let him see my true form. I believe Master would like a mature woman like me very much."
Although she said that she was a mature woman, Lilith was actually only twenty-one years old.
She was still a young lady, especially in the eyes of the Catkins, who lived longer than humans.
Her figure wouldn't lose Emma's in the slightest, and she was confident that if Ethan saw her, he would definitely consider making her his lover as well.
'Now is the perfect opportunity since Chloe is out of the picture,' Lilith thought. 'Don't blame me for eating the bird that you left behind. It's not my fault that you decided to distance yourself from Master!'
Lilith, who was hyping herself up, suddenly heard a knock on the door, making her glance in its direction.
"Lilith, are you there?" Luna's voice sounded from the other side of the door. "Can we talk?"
The Black Cat had no idea what Luna wanted to talk about, but since she already knew about her existence, she decided to open the door to let her in.
The first to enter the room was Luna's Carbuncle, Selene, who was still in her beast form.
Luna followed behind and closed the door firmly before looking at the Black Cat, who was looking at her with curiosity.
"Is there something you need, Luna?" Lilith asked.
"Yes," Luna replied. "I'd like to talk to you about something. It's about Ethan's trip to Northshire with Nicole."
Lilith was there when Lyle made his appearance, so he knew that her Master would be accompanying the pink-haired beauty to meet the Ice Dragons.
Truth be told, she was also worried about this expedition. Not all Dragons liked to have a chat with Humans and mostly hunted the latter for food.
Only the Silver Dragons, and a few others, liked to converse and socialize with the other races.
"When you go to Northshire, can you look for a crystal rose?" Luna asked.
"A Crystal Rose? Ah… you mean that rose." Lilith nodded her head in understanding. "Very well. If I see one, I'll get it for you. However, what will you use it for?"
"Chloe," Luna replied. "She is looking for one, but they're not being sold in any of the places she visited. It seems that she needs it for something very important, and the Crystal Rose only grows in the snowy mountains of Northshire."
Remembering Chloe's name made Lilith almost spit on the ground.
However, since she got along well with Luna, she decided to control her emotions and reluctantly nodded her head.
"Okay, if I see one, I'll get it for you," Lilith replied. "But, why are you asking me this? If you asked Master, I'm sure that he would not leave until he found one for you."
"I know." Luna smiled bitterly. "But she needs it to prepare a gift for Ethan's birthday in a few months. This is supposed to be a surprise, so she doesn't want him to know about it."
Lilith sighed in her heart before nodding her head for a second time.
"Fine." Lilith nodded a second time. "I'll see what I can do. But that flower is rare to begin with, so I will not make any promises, okay?"
"Thank you, Lilith. I owe you one."
"Mmm."
Since Luna was one of Ethan's future wives, the Black Cat didn't mind helping her.
Having a good relationship with her future mistresses was important. So, even though she didn't like Chloe, she was still willing to help the girl prepare her birthday present for her Master, whom she had distanced herself from.
