(Klaus's PoV)
I don't know what to think of this.
I was pretty much sure that Liliana would have developed resentment towards me. When I woke up in the evening and thought about everything we did...I did, made me sure about that but the reality was a bit different.
After leaving my room, I went to look for her in her room. I thought she could most likely be in her room, to avoid me but I couldn't find her there. She was in the kitchen, making preparations for dinner. She was even humming as if she was happy at the moment.
I thought she may be trying to compensate herself and trying to forget about what happened. This could be her usual demeanor and would evaporate when she see me but I was wrong on both counts.
When I spoke with her, I detected no trace of resentment towards me. I was confused by this. Maybe because I'm casual, she is replying in that manner, after all, she went through the servant's course, which trains them on how to behave in front of their masters.
So I directly asked her about it. The answer surprised me.
She replied that she felt pain the first time, more than she anticipated but as time went by the pleasure increased. While the pain was still there, the pleasure outmatched it, and she said that she enjoyed it. She even asked me if we could do that every night possible thereafter except for tonight as there is still some lingering pain.
She surely surprised me there. Instead of what I felt would happen, the opposite happened and I am happy about this. She even wanted to do it again but only requested to engage at night, as she has to work and wasting all day would be no good.
After speaking with her I went out to look around the academy. As I am new, I need to know where everything is located. Though there is a map in the guidebook for such occasions, remembering some spots would be good.
I also need to look for the information on the classes available to us. I bet a few would have already registered for their classes. If I can get anything, it would make my decision easier.

Walking around the academy I started to think about the system.
I don't know the actual purpose of the system.
For such a thing to exist, there should be a creator. I don't know if this third party is an ally or enemy or a neutral party who just wanted to enjoy the show.
I intended to make sure that system would come under control under any circumstances. Whoever the creator was, I don't intend to find out about it the hard way.
If I gain control of the system, I don't need to be afraid of someone controlling me through the system. Though it may offend the third party, if they had no evil intentions against me, we could come to an agreement.
If the third party is against me, then that is it. With that already, we would be enemies, so offending them wouldn't make a difference as they were already planning a scheme against me.
From what I read back in the past life, the seven sins are associated with the devil or hell. If so is the system from hell? or made by the devil or something of its kind?
If this is from such a being or place there is a high chance that they would try to control me in the future but for now, he should be safe.
Though I am stronger than common people, I am still an ant in front of the true powerhouses of the empire, then forget about comparing myself to god-like beings. They wouldn't be interested in me as of now.
I don't have anything to fear for now. It is a problem for me in the far away future.
For now, I should concentrate on things that I can control and that would pose a threat to me like the third prince.
For the system, I should also look out for alternate ways to gain strength which would make me less dependent on the system. I should also find a way to take complete control of it before it tries to take over me.
Speaking of the system, I feel Liliana may be acting a little weird.
Is this because of the Sin Skills I used?
I don't know if it is true. I felt happy that she has no resentment but at that time my mind was preoccupied with how much she would resent me and I wished that wouldn't happen. I may have taken the answer for granted.
Walking around the academy grounds, cleared my mind a little and questioned its legitimacy.
I need to check properly on how the skill works. If these skills could alter one's perspective, then they are more powerful than I initially estimated.
I need to be careful. Any wrongful use may spell disaster.
