Chapter 74 Returning To Capital



"I'm sorry, Anna, but I haven't completed my mission yet, and I've already stayed longer than I should have," replied Dantalian.

Freytan let out a tired yawn, her weary eyes bloodshot from sleep deprivation. She longed to rest her head on a soft pillow, knowing it would instantly lull her into a deep slumber. " Let's go... Thanks to Dantalian, my body feels weak. " she murmured, her voice betraying exhaustion.

Anna reluctantly released Dantalian's hand, taking a few hesitant steps backward as her gaze swept over the scene—a scene where Dantalian stood amidst four girls.  "Alright, I don't want to interfere with your plans, Master Dantalian, but I hope you'll visit us in the future."

'My dear Anna, of course I'll come back. I can't let the treasure in the lake wait for me any longer.' 

"What a pity. It would have been so much fun if all five of us could enjoy Dantalian. Such a shame," Said Fiona lamented, shaking her head in disappointment.

"No, three was already enough. We didn't need a fourth," Amanda declared, her gaze lingering on the vacant spot where Echidna was supposed to be.

Echidna gently urged Freytan to settle inside the carriage, covering her with a cozy blanket. "Get in there, Freytan, and don't worry. I'll take care of you so nothing happens during the journey,"  she reassured, her voice infused with a soothing warmth. Freytan, now reclining on the right seats of the carriage, succumbed to weariness.

"Echidna, what are you doing? That's something the master should do," Amanda said, entering the carriage, while Fiona maintained a silent presence beside Dantalian.

"Hahaha, I apologize for that," Dantalian said. "And Anna, even if we're far apart, don't hesitate to call me if you need anything."

'This place will only be important again in chapter five, so it's fine to do this,' thought Dantalian, contemplated Dantalian, his gaze fixated on a faint blush adorning Anna's nose

"If that's the case, please stay away from a terrible monster that you need to defeat," Anna said, her hands delicately covering her face.

"Are you sure about that, Miss Anna? I don't sense anything dangerous other than Anna's silent presence behind me, hahaha," Echidna said, pointing silently at Amanda, her cold eyes directly focused on Anna.

'Just because I let them have some fun these past few days doesn't mean they can do whatever they want,' thought Amanda.

Before Anna even spoke, Dantalian had already understood her true intention. She wasn't talking about a real monster but rather a figurative one.

"Ah, you misunderstood me, Fiona," Anna pointed and raised her left hand, pointing towards the castle as she spoke. "The monster I'm talking about is my father, hehehe." Anna's hands descended, clasping together as she leaned forward. With a soft tone, she continued "After all, with the number of seeds that Master Dantalian has given, we're sure to have a small and beautiful flower."

When Amanda heard this last sentence, it felt like her body had been struck by thousands of swords. "Huh?"

"Ho... How can that be? A... a... Baby?" Amanda stammered, her hand instinctively finding its place on her abdomen. 'Why am I not...? Do I have a problem?'

"Hohoho, so what will you do, Dantalian?" Fiona asked, her face adorned with a mischievous smile. She derived genuine enjoyment from witnessing the situation.

"Master, why did you choose her and not me? Is it because of my previous illness?" Amanda asked, her expression filled with tears.

"Don't be like that, Amanda. In the end, we will all have a flower from him, right? I am just the first, hehehe." There was a clear air of superiority in her words and actions towards Amanda.

'Oh my, I'll have to find a way to invent condoms after this...' Dantalian pondered, sighing and casting a dry gaze upon the two girls.

'What is happening here?' Echidna wondered, sitting in the seats facing Freytan.

Echidna swiftly glanced at Freytan, peacefully slumbering, and the chaos unraveling outside the carriage. She whispered, "I wish I could be sleeping too..." Echidna covered her ears with her hands.

"What's wrong? Master Dantalian, why do you have that expression?" Said Anna your voice trembled as she raised her hands in a submissive gesture, her eyes filled with concern

"Master? Did I do something wrong again? I don't deserve this, right? I'm sorry for speaking like this," Said Amanda your voice quivered, and she turned her head away, her gaze fixated on the ground, brimming with self-doubt.

Dantalian's brow furrowed as he responded "I merely looked at you. What's wrong with that?" Placing his hand gently atop the heads of both girls, activating the divine power and causing a golden energy to cover his eyes.

"Now look at your own bodies, especially in the right area," Dantalian instructed, withdrawing his hand from their heads and gradually stepping back, creating a slight distance between them.I think you should take a look at

Fiona, curious and emanating a faint blue glow in her eyes, looked directly at the faces of the two girls in her line of sight but couldn't see anything different. "I don't see anything strange."

"Did you see anything, Anna?" Amanda asked.

"No, there's nothing different," Anna replied.

As Anna and Amanda looked at themselves, they could indeed see the energy within Amanda's body. A green energy with subtle traces of orange flowed in a normal pattern, while in Anna's body, it was the same, but with a red hue.

Dantalian snapped his fingers and spoke, "That means no seeds were planted, which means neither of you will get pregnant." He began to walk backward, facing away from the carriage. "If something had happened, even in such a short period, a different energy would have been visible. It would have been small, but the color would have stood out."

"Well, of course, being inside them means the energy couldn't be the same," Fiona remarked.

Inside the carriage, Echidna waved her hand to get Amanda's attention.

"Now that we've discussed this, Anna and I are leaving. I'll say it again, I will definitely come back," Dantalian said, turning around and entering the carriage.

Anna didn't respond, she simply smiled and waved, feeling Amanda's sharp gaze on her. She thought, 'I should have done this from the beginning. There's no turning back now; I'm already part of this little group.' Anna winked at Amanda, who quickly urged the carriage forward, heading back towards the capital.

Inside the carriage:

"If we hadn't left right away, that conversation could have turned into something more serious," Echidna said.

"So, you noticed it too, huh?" Fiona smiled.

"Of course, she definitely changed the way she spoke and acted. It was different from when I first met her here," Echidna looked at Dantalian and said, "And it's all your fault."

"And I know," Dantalian said, looking out the window. 'Five times faster, huh?'

In front of the gate of the Elven Kingdom's castle, Anna opened her eyes. She could no longer sense Dantalian's presence, and with a smile on her face, she asked the maid who emerged from the ground. The maid had dark skin and short black hair. "Have you managed to restore the defensive barrier?"

"Unfortunately, not yet, Miss. But there's no need to worry; it will be restored before your parents arrive."

"And what about the paintings?" Anna turned around and started walking towards the castle, looking around and peering through the windows at some people peacefully sleeping, recovering.

"The knights refused to repaint them. They said the culprit should be the one to do it," the maid spoke as she accompanied Anna.

"Oh, really? Then send everyone to hunt three red boars," Anna said, giving a pure smile that concealed her newfound nature.

[The Heroine Anna is obsessed with you. Congratulations, Dantalian. You avoided a sadistic one and gained an obsessed one.]

'Oh, shut up, you entity,' Dantalian leaned back, closing his eyes, thinking about how to deal with Anna now.

A few hours later

In the capital, at the residence of Duchess Marian, a small raven arrived, carrying a letter in its beak sent by Echidna four days ago, detailing how everything was resolved.

"Oh!" Surprised by the content of the letter, Duchess Marian stood up from her chair. She was currently in her office. "Now it makes sense, Dantalian Lancaster-Steele. My body and I have been waiting for you. You have passed the test."

"Oh!" Surprised by the content of the letter, Duchess Marian rose from the bath, water cascading down her naked body. Her blonde tresses clung to her skin, and droplets traced a sensual path down her voluptuous breasts, continuing along the curves of her body. With a smile of ecstatic satisfaction, she extended her hand, conjuring a small black sphere that emerged, hovering before her. Centipedes crawled out from within, encircling the sphere.

Marian would step out of the bathtub, leaving the black sphere floating around her. She grabbed a towel, recalling Dantalian's face "Now it makes sense, Dantalian Lancaster-Steele. My body and I are waiting for you. You have passed the test."
