Duke thought for a moment and said, "Come back."

The Cat Girl's ears twitched, and upon hearing what seemed to be a call for her, she immediately returned to Duke's side, her expression ardently gazing at him, nearly pressing herself against him.

"What's the price to buy you?" Duke prepared to ask for the price first; if it's too high, it might be better to purchase from a slave trader.

The Cat Girl looked surprised and said, "I'm not expensive; I'm very cheap! Just three hundred magic stones..."

She made a gesture showing three while observing Duke's expression, fearing if the price was too high.

Duke didn't expect the price to be so cheap; it seems Cat Girls, lacking combat prowess and akin to decorative slaves, are indeed worthless.

Of course, the price isn't up to the Cat Girl to decide; it's still determined by the people on the Floating Airship.

A Wizard named Williams soon arrived and, upon learning Duke intended to buy this Cat Girl, offered a price of five hundred magic stones.

Three hundred was the price he bought them for in bulk from the slave trader; now, naturally, he planned to earn a two hundred magic stone difference from Duke.

Duke didn't say much, directly purchasing the Cat Girl at the price of five hundred magic stones.

The Slave Contract for this Cat Girl was soon handed to Duke, along with her Slave Mark, thereby under his control.

The Cat Girl was named Nina, and she had only arrived on this airship a few days ago.

In reality, it was because she witnessed her companion being tortured to death by Williams that made her so eager to leave here.

Williams wanted to recommend a few more to Duke, but Duke wasn't here for recreation; having too many would be a hassle, and having one to handle some miscellaneous chores was sufficient.

After becoming Duke's servant, Nina naturally didn't need to work in the restaurant anymore, but rather served Duke by his side.

She cut various foods into small pieces and then fed Duke, never needing him to lift a hand, providing thorough service.

Nina cherished this hard-won opportunity, so when serving Duke, she was extremely careful and cautious, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

...

At night, Nina brought her belongings to Duke's room; she could only live here now.

Nina's possessions weren't many, just some clothes, shoes, and several dozen magic stones; this was her entire estate.

It was evident she had specially dressed up, wearing a black-silk maid outfit; the black and white maid attire fit her perfectly and harmoniously.

Nina quickly entered her role as a maid, began cleaning the room, and prepared hot water in the bathtub for Duke.

While Duke took a bath, she served by his side, extremely attentive.

"Are you familiar with the Seville Empire?" Duke asked.

As Nina paused her back-scrubbing hand, she replied, "I know a bit; we were captured from our homeland by the Seville Empire and stayed there for a while."

"Tell me what you know." Duke, having nothing else to do, took the opportunity to gather some intel.

Nina spoke without reservation, telling Duke everything she knew about the Seville Empire.

The general situation was pretty similar to what Duke previously understood; Nina informed him that Knight Halls existed in many places, including Torch City, where one was present.

This provided convenience for Duke; once the airship arrived in Torch City, he could go to the Knight Hall without needing to travel elsewhere.

After bathing, Nina carefully dried Duke with a towel, missing no spot.

After Nina cleaned Duke, her face flushed; she had not expected Duke's body to be so perfect.

Subsequently, Duke lay on the bed to continue meditating, while Nina, after tidying up, entered the bath to take a shower.

Duke swept his spiritual power, seeing clearly.

His intention was straightforward, primarily to prevent the recently purchased servant from drowning in the bathtub, which would be a significant loss.

Nina's figure was indeed impressive, larger than many he had seen before.

When Nina finished her bath, she dressed in highly revealing, provocative clothing, timidly crawling to the bedside.

Seeing Duke with closed eyes seemingly meditating, she dared not disturb him, only able to crawl into the covers, cautiously shrinking to one side, afraid of disturbing Duke.

Late at night, when Duke finished his meditation, he discovered Nina had already fallen asleep, unconsciously hugging him tightly.

He likewise slipped into sleep, resting well for the night.

...

Not until noon did sounds in the room slightly cease.

Duke's physique was too strong; even though Nina's constitution rivaled some Knight Level warriors, she couldn't quite withstand it.

Duke also found that this was Nina's first time; she had never experienced these things before, merely receiving some training during her time as a slave.

This was a common circumstance in the slave trade; they often ensured the merchandise's integrity to fetch a favorable price.

Nina lay weakened, her face flushed, forehead sweating; the recent exertion was indeed exhausting.

Yet she still struggled to rise, readying hot water for Duke's bath.

After the tub filled, Duke soaked in comfort, and Nina attempted to leave, only to be seized by Duke to join him inside.

...

A few days later.

The Floating Airship descended outside the port of Torch City; all airships were prohibited from directly entering Torch City, so this port was specifically constructed outside the city.

Duke, along with a slightly flushed and physically exhausted Nina, disembarked from the airship; the workload over the past days was too intense, leaving Nina rather worn.

Over these days, Duke realized that his body had already surpassed the norm, a small Cat Girl indeed struggled to wholly satisfy.

These foreign Wizards were required to undergo stringent identity checks and registration before entering Torch City.

With the Black Sail Badge on him, Duke easily confirmed his identity, and Nina, as his slave creature, required minimal inspection.

Following approximately two hours of procedures at the port, Duke was permitted to enter Torch City, marking his arrival at the first city on the East Coast.
