"OH, you seem pretty confident. I expected you to be shivering with nervousness," Khione said after his greeting.
" Being nervous wouldn't bring any benefits to me," Avel replied with a soft smile on his face.
"Hmm... sit." After getting her permission, both Isolde and Avel sat down.
Now Avel was sitting between the mother-daughter pair.
" So, Avel..was it.What did you use to steal her heart?" Khione asked while using a fork and a knife to cut a honey-dripped pancake.
Hearing this, a blush crept into Isolde's face.
" If I told you the truth, my head would roll." Was the thought churning inside his head as His lips again formed a soft and confident smile, and he answered. "Mine and my lady's interests matched, which allowed a conversation to take place between us, and slowly, with time using my skills, I carved a place for myself in my lady's heart."
Isolde was genuinely impressed with Avel's ability to spit out bullshit with a confident smile, especially in front of a being like her mother.
" Your skills?" Khione asked with a raised eyebrow.
" One of my skills is stealing a maiden's heart," Avel replied, the soft smile on his face showing no sign of leaving.
" OH, what are your other skills then?"
" I have many, one of them being related to magic theories."
"Finally, now I can steer the conversation away from the topic of my relationship," Avel thought as he sighed with comfort in his mind.
" Seeing as you brought up the topic of magic theories, it seems like Isolde told you about my dilemma." Then she continued.
" But why did you bring it up? Do you really believe a newborn like you can help me?" She said the last line, in a slight mocking tone.
" As a matter of fact, I indeed do believe in my knowledge and skills."
Seeing the confidence in his voice, a part of her hoped that what he was saying was true. Believing in the slight hope, she replied in an authoritative tone.
"Alright, then come to my studies after lunch. But remember, boy. If you fail to back up your words, then you will have to pack up your things and leave." She said the last line in a slightly threatening tone.
"MOM." Isolde shouted as she got up and slammed the table with her palms.
" WHAT? I don't want a con artist to play with my daughter's heart." Khione retorted. She then continued." It's already an act of mercy that I won't kill him."
Isolde refused to back down and retorted back. "He's not a con artist."
" We'll see." were the only words that left khione's mouth as she again started eating. Isolde also sat back down with an angry expression on her face.
All three then ate breakfast without uttering a word. An awkward silence remained between them, only being interrupted by the sound of eating.
As Khione finished her meal, she got up to leave.
" Remember, boy, your words better be true." was the last thing she said before she left.
°°°°°°
After finishing breakfast, Avel was now sitting on the comfortable bed in his new room.
This room, while not being as Luxurious as Isolde's, was still 100 times better than his previous one. His luggage was already shifted by other servants when he was sleeping.
" Alright, system show me the coins."
" Ding."
[ Coins:- 2000]
" addition of only 1450 coins after playing with Isolde multiple times. I really need to add stronger women if I wish to get stronger fast."
" Is getting stronger your only desire, host?🤭" System said in a teasing tone.
" Cough..ahm." Avel coughed and changed the topic.
" Show me Isolde's profile."
"Ding."

Obedience:- 65/100.
feelings:-60/100.
Seeing her obedience and feelings, he nodded in satisfaction.
Then, a black coloured suit hung on the wall using a wall hook came into his view.
Avel immediately got up and tried it on.
Avel was now looking at himself in a large wall mirror, wearing the suit.
The shirt he wore inside the jacket had a darker shade compared to the black jacket and pants.
" Like it...I like it," he said while checking himself out in the mirror.
After he was done, he sat back and opened the system shop again and searched for some items.
[Relaxing Fingers :- makes the user proficient in giving massages.] cost:- 200 coins.

" OH, my looks increased." Saying this, Avel got up and looked into the mirror.
" Hmm, my face looks the same, but suddenly, I feel more handsome." He exclaimed with a proud tone.
" Now, show me the magic theory."
"Ding."
[ Theory of Ankabaz: Ankabaz, a great wizard of the ice element, created a legendary magic that allowed him to freeze the blood of his opponents.

" HOLY SHIT, combined with her SS class mana. After acquiring it, she would be able to kill millions and still have some mana left." Avel said in shock.
" But after this, all my points will be gone. Sigh, system buy it."
" Ding."
[Coins:- 0 ]
After that, Avel took off the suit and wore his old clothes then went to have lunch with other servants.
After his lunch, he went back to his room and put on his suit again, then went towards the duchess' study.
*Knock* *Knock*
" Duchess, it's Avel."
" Come in."
Avel opened the door and went inside. Just as he entered, he saw the duchess sitting behind her desk while sunlight from the window illuminated the smooth skin of her face.
Her silver eyes were looking at a paper with a frown.
On her desk, several papers with complex magic circles drawn on them were scattered.
"Sit," she said in a tired tone.
Avel's eyes then darted onto a luxurious-looking red sofa present near the door.
Avel closed the door and sat on the sofa. An awkward silence lingered for some time.
Then suddenly Avel opened his mouth.
" Duchess, would you like a massage on your stiff-looking shoulders ?" he said in a respectful and relaxed tone.
" You know how to give a massage?" Khione asked in a slightly surprised tone.
" It's one of my skills," he said with a confident smile.
" Boy, just how many skills do you possess?"
" Many." He replied nonchalantly.
" I can also help you to improve your theory of blood-freezing while I help you relax."
"So you even know the kind of magic I'm working on," she said with a raised eyebrow.
Seeing his look of confidence and listening to his words, the hope in her heart was increasing.
" All right, get behind me." Hearing this, Avel, with a smile, went behind her chair.
His hands, armed with erotic fingers and massage skills touched her stiff-looking shoulders and gave them a gentle squeeze.
"Hmm."As he continued massaging her, she felt herself experiencing an immense amount of pleasure.
" Hmm, boy, you're quite an expert at massaging," she said with a satisfied look.
" Thank you for your praise, duchess," he said in a relaxed voice as his hands continued kneading her shoulders.
" Now, how about I help you with improving your theory?"
He said as one of his hands left her shoulder, evoking a little bit of sadness in her heart and taking a pen on the desk. Using it, Avel modified the diagram of the magic circle on the paper she was just looking at with a frown.
After the modification was done, Avel's hand returned to her shoulder, which gave her a feeling of satisfaction.
Avel, now massaging her shoulders with both hands, said, "Duchess, how about you try creating the new modified circle."
Khione nodded and looked at his modification, which looked strange, but still, she closed her eyes and started to concentrate.
Suddenly, a white magic circle identical to the one on the paper appeared.
The magic circle emitted a chilly aura, which was proof that it was, in fact, active.
Khione opened her eyes in shock. She asked
" H-how did you do it?" while looking at the magic circle with wide-open eyes.
Avel, while continuing to massage her shoulders, brought his lips near her ear and said in a hushed voice.
"As I've already told you, it's one of my skills, my lady."
