Alura felt weird as she bathed.
As she washed her face, she couldn't help but remember her young master. Despite being a pervert, he was also very kind to her.
She had never experienced such kindness from someone other than her sisters. She couldn't help but smile when she remembered his face.
Getting out of the bath, she looked at herself in the mirror. From a young age, she knew that she was pretty. That was why she also covered her face in dirt and used her bangs to cover her face.
However, now that she was technically Aaron's property, shouldn't she reveal her beauty?
After cleaning her hair and face, she started to dry herself off. Exiting the washroom, she looked at the pair of blue pajamas. When she wore them, she couldn't help but blush.
'Aren't these a bit too tight?'
She walked and found the room that her young master was in. Knocking on the door, she announced herself.
"Yo-young master, it's Alura,"
"Enter,"
Hearing the words, her heartbeat increased as she entered the room. Looking at her young master, who was sitting on the bed, she couldn't help but hide her smile when she saw his stunned face.
Then he smiled, "Come sit."
Her heartbeat increased as she approached the bed step by step. When she sat on the bed and faced her young master.
She saw that he was leaning in closer, so she closed her eyes and puckered her lips, waiting for their lips to connect. However, instead he whispered something in her ear, causing her to freeze.
"Now then, tell me why you wanted that guy dead?" Her heartbeat then increased, but for a different reason.
Opening her eyes, she looked at her young master, who had a smirk on his face "Did you really think that stupid excuse would work on me?"
"I'm sorry, young master!" bowing, she then started to explain, "I-I had no choice, Henry was a monster, a few days ago he thrashed and killed my best friend, if he passed the ceremony, my other sisters would suffer a fate worse than death, and I wanted to save them as well avenge my sister,"
Alura held back tears.
'Does he hate me now?'
However, she then felt her chin being gently grabbed. "Why are you crying? You don't need to be sorry for killing a monster like that."
But he then leaned in, "But you need to be sorry for lying to me,"
Hearing that, she closed her eyes again, expecting something to happen. However, nothing did. Slowly peaking, she saw Aaron was sitting in front of her with a grin on his face.
"Uh…y-young master…"
"What did you expect me to sleep with you tonight?" Aaron raised a brow, causing Alura to blush; however, that quickly disappeared. "So why did you call me here?"
"Isn't that obvious?" leaning in, he whispered something into her ear, "to punish you,"
***
On the main island of the Bismarck Archipelago was a giant, lavish mansion.
This was where the patriarch resided, along with his wife.
Or that's what everyone believed. Only a select number of people knew who was actually running the family behind the scenes.
Elizabeth Van Bismarck.
A cunning and powerful woman. She single-handedly brought a broken family back to its peak. However, due to the rules of the family, she couldn't be the head matriarch, so she needed a puppet.
Aaron discovered this truth when he was going over what remained in the family Archipelago. Elizabeth was leading the family in the shadows, controlling their wealth, power, and members.
In a spacious office, a blonde-haired woman looked over the documents in her hand.

'An unknown bloodline and SSS rank to boot'
The Van Bismark family had been around for eons and had collected a large amount of information on classes and bloodlines. High-ranking bloodlines were rare, so it wasn't a surprise they couldn't be documented.
If they wanted to record it, they would need a specific artifact.
Thinking about the second bloodline, Elizabeth rubbed her forehead
Her child Victor was a pain in her ass. She had lost track of the times that moron fell for a honey pot, causing the family to be in trouble. While he did resolve the situations with his strength, it didn't put her at ease.
That's the reason why she ordered him to take on the media business in the cities rather than take care of family problems.
As a result, that bastard had taken many women as lovers, and thanks to that, he had more heirs as well.
While not all of them were pure-bloods, most of them were.
Players with high-ranking bloodlines often had trouble conceiving heirs with normal humans due to the bloodline strength. While there were rare cases of women getting pregnant, the child would have a very diluted bloodline, thus not being an heir or having a pure bloodline, and would be considered an heir.
While most of his lovers had a mixed bag, 1 of his wives was able to give birth to 2 successful heirs.
However, Aaron wasn't her son.
Elizabeth tried to remember the girl that her son brought home as a wife. She was from a small clan in the mountains, yet was a strong player. But she died while giving birth to Aaron.
'What was her name?'
Elizabeth frowned as she drew up a blank.
'I guess I'll have someone else research it'
As she was poisoned, she couldn't keep up with her family's politics, which probably caused them to run rampant.
Picking up the other documents, she read over the information.

"I guess their both impressive," muttering under her breath, she then remembered something. This caused a smile to creep onto her face.
"Let's see how competent you truly are," looking at a stack of papers, she smiled, "2 birds with one stone,"
