━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Fortunately, Noelle was well aware of just how absurdly strong her little boss was, so she decided to simply place full faith in the crimson-haired beauty's ability and give it her all. Her struggles only made her movements appear more genuine and credible, after all. Emilia dodged and weaved through most of her strikes, but pretended to struggle while blocking those she 'couldn't avoid', showing a clear difference in their level of strength, and her previous…

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Much to everyone's shock, in response to their clan's hidden genius, the masked girl who would usually only nonchalantly nod and then proceed to deliver a ruthless beatdown to her opponents… actually smiled! At least, that was what it looked like from what little was exposed of the girl's face. "If I knew someone so pretty was going to be here, I wouldn't even have put the fighting condition up, you know?" Despite her words, the girl still got into her…

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ "Is there anyone else…?" With most of the eligible men already eliminated, one of the mature ladies gritting her teeth by the side had no choice but to reluctantly step up. "I'll come." Emilia blinked. "A bit mature for my taste, and it looks like you're already married, given how you screamed hubby when I flipped over that guy a few minutes ago? But… fine." She grinned mischievously. "You must be really confident, huh? If you can really defeat me, I…

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ There was a reason that everyone was so mad at the girl's words, and it wasn't just because she was obviously gloating about the fact that she managed to beat everyone who faced her so far with apparent ease. Their clan rules strictly prohibited both polygamy and same-sex marriage, and the punishment for any kind of 'shameless behavior' was always extremely severe once brought to the attention of the elders. In addition to losing most of their wealth,…

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ While the elders realized that a lot of their people had already decided to side with either Gildroy or Narcissa, their confidence in being able to reverse the situation wasn't unfounded. The respect that those of the Nightingale clan had for people with superior strength and skill was one of the key reasons why Gildroy had been so successful in his 'recruitment' despite all his other prospects being so poor. In fact, much of his 'success' could be…
-
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Since they believed that Emilia needed the Nightingale clan for her plans in their country, the elders naturally didn't think that the crimson-haired empress would remain indifferent to their troubles. After all, no matter how little she cared for a 'tool' in her heart, she wouldn't let it break before it was done serving its purpose, right? It might hurt their pride to acknowledge it, but it remained true that the future of their clan as it was now really…
-
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ While both Emilia and Noelle were confident in being able to deal with whatever trouble Gildroy ended up causing by messing up his 'instructions', they still made sure to keep a close eye on his movements. After all, one had to be extra cautious when in enemy territory. And even with her strength and abilities being greatly boosted now, Emilia wasn't stupid enough to believe herself to be invincible. "He's not doing anything strange yet, is he?" Noelle…

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Although neither Emilia nor Noelle had expected things to go this way, they weren't particularly upset about the turn of events, and just continued watching the 'show' calmly. While the conversation between the people on the screen wasn't audible, it was possible for them to more or less guess what was being said based on the combination of lip movements and expressions. Noelle's enraged 'father' continued demanding an explanation from his wife to no avail,…
-
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ It took Emilia a while to get her girlfriend to stop pouting over the crimson-haired girl unexpectedly revealing her real identity to Gildroy, but the effectiveness of her move was undeniable. Despite his initial shock and horror to do as he was told, it soon became clear that the man who refused to listen to a single word out of Noelle's mouth was actually all too eager to cling onto the path of survival offered by Emilia. Of course, Noelle wasn't…
-
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Whether it was the threatening tone that sent shivers of terror down his spine, or the heavy pressure coming from the palm pressing on his shoulder, Gildroy felt like if he really dared to be impulsive at this moment... the outcome would definitely not be in his favor. While his strength may no longer be what it was back in the day, it was still hard to accept that the child he once disregarded as being worthless trash would one day surpass himself. But…
