'How is this possible?'

This was really absurd on so many levels that Clara forgot to save her lady in a stranger's arms, who was feeling her all over shamelessly.

"Mmm~~ Lucien~~ don't~~ Mmph~~"

Only when she once again heard her moaning in supposed protest did she come to her senses.

"W-What are you doing to her?"

But when Clara looked ahead, she was even more dumbfounded as Lucien's hand now gripped Sera's large ass, feeling and molding it forcefully.

The most ridiculous part was that his hand was inside her dress, slipped through that long cut, directly touching her bare skin.

The audacity and shamelessness of it made Clara's jaw drop.

Fortunately, there was no one inside besides her who was seeing it.

Still, even for her, it was just too much as Clara finally snapped, stepped forward, and scolded Lucien in a loud voice,

"Leave her right now."

Her princess was being defiled right in front of her, and Sera was just moaning in return.

The situation went to the point where Clara wanted to directly blast this random man who made her a princess like this in one blow.

What kind of potion did he give to her princess to change her this much in one day?

She wondered!

"Tch.. even the size of this has changed, and it seems more… softer?"

After hearing the angry voice of Clara, Lucien came to his senses and commented lightly as if he was just checking her disguise.

Heck, he even looked at Clara directly with a smirk before asking slightly,

"Did you use your ability on her? It is really good. Why don't you teach me too?"

Fortunately, his hand left Sera's ass in the process, managing to calm down Clara a little; otherwise, she might have attacked him without a doubt.

Still, seeing a smug look on his face really irked her, regardless.

"Ability cannot be taught, don't you even know that?"

She replied with faint anger before grabbing Helena's (Sera's) shoulder and yanking her up, who was hiding her face intentionally from her.

"Miss, isn't it time to leave his body alone? We still have other important things to do."

She said, implying that she knew what was happening here, and she didn't need to hide in Lucien's arms.

After the loud voice from Clara, Sera, of course, woke up. But that made her realize what she had done just now.

'It is all Lucien's fault.'

Sera was so ashamed that she tried to play dead by hiding her head on Lucien's shoulder and snuggling more.

But it seemed it wasn't enough as Clara directly lifted her head up and looked at her with a smile.

Only, she could feel countless meanings in that calm smile that put her to shame.

"Whoa… yeah, we have so many things to do."

Since Sera didn't know how to react, she simply let go of Lucien's arm as if nothing had happened and replied to Clara lightly, gracefully straightening her crumpled clothes in the process.

"But… Lucien, you seem to recognize me from the moment I arrived. How did you do that?"

Sera suddenly asked Lucien, intending to shift the topics entirely out of this embarrassing incident.

During the entire process, she didn't even glance at Clara, as if she did that, she wasn't sure if her facade of seriousness would crumple in shame.

Fortunately, although Clara knew what her princess was doing by asking that, she just rolled her eyes and didn't say anything.

Besides, she was also curious about how Lucien directly saw through her disguise, recognizing Sera.

After all, she was absolutely confident that her disguise was so impeccable that even someone at the Lord realm couldn't see through it, as she was too…

'Does he have some unique abilities?'

Clara couldn't understand how this ordinary man, who was only at the Apprentice realm, managed to do that.

Not to mention, there was also his uncanny ability to know about what she did with his wealth, too.

To be honest, the more Clara learned about him, the more she felt Lucien was somewhat different and unique.

'He is interesting!'

She couldn't help thinking like that, officially getting intrigued by his ability.

"How did I recognize you?"

Lucien heard Sera, or rather Helena, asking about his secret and stepped closer, making her back down in a fluster before whispering in her ear.

"After today, did you really think a change of face could fool me? I already know you from the inside… appearances won't change a thing. Don't you think?"

He asked while signalling at her moist red lips with his eyes, implying something to Sera.

Of course, Lucien wasn't stupid enough to tell them his secret.

So, he stirred the conversation in such a direction that it left everything to imagination.

'Know her from the inside? What did he mean?'

Sure enough, Clara, who was waiting to find out where her skill failed, heard Lucien and got confused instead.

At first, she thought Lucien was talking about some ability that let him see inside Sera.

But when she saw Sera turn pitch-red, fidgeting and avoiding his gaze in shyness while Lucien stepped closer, she immediately understood what he meant by 'inside'.

'Don't tell me.'

That realization jolted her in so much surprise that Clara immediately used her golden vision to scan Sera's body entirely, intending to see if her virginity was still there.

'Thank god, it's still there.'

Fortunately, she saw that Sera was pure, her hymen intact.

She didn't seem to be violated yet.

Otherwise, it could have had drastic consequences for her Phoenix bloodline.

'I mean, Sera would never do such a thing, especially after I already warned her. But then… what did he mean by "inside" just now?'

After heaving a sigh of relief from a false alarm, Clara was once again confused, unable to understand what Lucien meant.

From the way Sera and Lucien reacted, it seemed to be something sexual, but she didn't see anything that remotely suggested it.

"Okay, let's not talk about useless things. First, tell me why you are here? This is too dangerous."

Lucien didn't want to waste time on this useless talk, so he lightly reprimanded her instead, bringing the topic to their situation.

After all, no matter what, Sera was his woman now, and even with how her feelings seemed genuine, he felt he had to reciprocate somehow.

"Hehe… I was just trying to test you behind your back… but, you foil my plan."

Seeing his care, Sera directly put aside her shame, turned lively, and replied with a giggle.

Then, she immediately came near Lucien and grabbed his arm on her own initiative before continuing,

"As for safety, don't worry. With Clara here, nothing will happen to us. She gave her words to me before."

She pointed at the ordinary maid in front who was looking at Sera (Helena) with a weird look.

Clara didn't even react when Sera pointed at her, as today she was too shocked to see continuous childish behaviour from Sera.

'Is this....her genuine smile?'

And more importantly, for the first time in her life, she saw a genuine smile on Sera's face.

Well, it was Helena's face technically, but her point counts.

After all, she was with Sera from her traumatising childhood up to now, but she never saw Sera smiling genuinely, even once.

But right now, she could feel Sera was really happy, as she didn't even mind grabbing Lucien's arms and snuggling on him on her own despite Clara being near.

"Hmm? Clara?"

Lucien was surprised to hear Sera's assurance and looked at the girl doubtfully.

Since Sera said there would be no danger with Clara's promise, he had to take her seriously.

After all, Sera knew about Velmara and his realm, not to mention his grandfather.

But she still mentioned this ordinary maid with such high regard, which meant…

'Is she… at the Lord realm?'
