At the door of the Bamboo Leaf Hall, a line of servants and maids were waiting for his arrival. Karl looked at them and started to observe the expressions on their faces. As he was a master of understanding others' feelings towards him since his past life it didn't take much time for him to identify their real feelings. Even though they were currently smiling at him, he knew they were all fake and just using their born ability to act. According to Karl, all humans are born actors. Over time from their birth, they start to learn more skills in acting. There was an old guy who compared life to a stage of acting, you know!
Returning to the current situation Karl could clearly feel most of his house's servants had a bad impression of him. This was absolutely not a surprise. He could feel the strong disgust the old guy who greeted him had towards him. He was so skilled in acting cause right now he was smiling ear to him!
" You, old man, should get an Oscar!" Karl said while pointing him over the crowd.
" But I like you!"
Hearing this the old guy's eyes widened in surprise.
' Huh? Is he into guys?'
" I like old guys like you!"
' Shit! He is into old guys! Why the fuck that Royal eunuch had to appoint me as his head eunuch of all the people out there?'
Karl could see the strange expression on his face, but after thinking for some time he decided not to think too much.
' He is not thinking that I'm into him, right?'
Even Rowanna looked at Karl's face several times repeatedly.
" Ahem, let me introduce your servant staff, my lord. Here this one is the chief of the servant staff. You can call him Konan."
" My lord, I'm at your service anytime. Hope your majesty won't be disappointed by our performance."
At that time, Karl was very much disappointed in his servant staff. That was, his staff DID NOT CONTAIN ANY FUCKING WOMAN!!!
In his mind, so many curses could be heard which were uttered by his other self. The other self inside him was furious about this mistreatment and was demanding compensation from the Emperor.
' Chill dude! Of course, we are gonna destroy that old pussy!'
' But- But-'
' Be patient man.'
Karl had to make his other self calm before taking a deep breath to calm himself.
" Hmm, I am humbled to have good servants like you for my household. Rowanna they are quite capable, right? If not, you can give them some 'lessons' on it right?"
" Of course why not? Let me teach them a few lessons of behaviour. I know you are very much keen on discipline."
" You know me, honey!" Saying this Karl grabbed her waist and made her lean on his shoulder.
This sudden performance of Karl made Ethel's eyes widen in shock.
According to his sources, Rowanna was the one who was assigned to torture Karl to get the whereabouts of the Neotherhood clan's seal. Over the demonic servants of the emperor, they could confirm that Karl was beaten into a near-death situation. But now they are acting lovey-dovey in front of all these people? What the fuck?
There was no way they were lovers in the first place. Euger was very much protective of Rowanna more than his own daughter. Ethel was so much sure of Euger's hatred toward Karl, and also sure he would have never allowed her to start a relationship with Karl in the first place.
What made him more surprised was Rowanna's irresistance towards Karl's performance. It was as if she had been longing for this to happen.
' What the fuck is going on here?'
The Royal Eunuch was completely clueless.
' This is not good. I must report this to the emperor ASAP'
Naturally, Karl knew what was going on in that old fox's mind. Right now he wanted to get some attention and make the emperor curious about the things that were going on. He knew attention and curiosity from the people from the Imperial Family were needed for his plan to be worked.
Of course, he just needed the attention of the queen, Yalenna Arlogha. According to the information about the queen, Karl got from Rowanna and Erena, he was sure of only one thing about her. That's if the emperor became interested in someone, she would also get interested in him/her even though she was sure they had nothing to do with her ongoing plans.
Karl found the queen's character somewhat complicated and problematic since he couldn't think of reasons for some actions she took.
According to Erena, Yalenna hated bathing after talking with someone and refused to see anyone after the bath for at least five hours. Thinking about this was very much stressful for Karl, and after spending several minutes thinking he decided to stop reasoning with her actions.
" Aren't you going to invite me to the house? You are blocking my way, you know!"
Waking up from his stupor Konan, he bowed at him and stepped to the side giving him enough space to enter through the door.
After taking a deep breath, Karl entered the house.
" As expected, they are very much capable of doing what they are assigned to."
The inside of the courtyard was very much clean and tidy with simple yet magnificent decorations. The furniture was so clean that he could swear they had been glittering like pure gold. There was not even a speck of dust on the floor or the walls. This was very much satisfying to Karl. In his previous life, he never had a chance to live in a room which was very much clean and neat.
" Hmm, this place is not bad, Karl. I saw the bedroom. It was enough for at least 5 people to sleep simultaneously. Hehe~"
*slap*
Karl facepalmed.
" Of all the specifications here, you only noticed the bed? Woman, think with your brain, not with your vagina!"
" I-I I didn't mean that. I meant-" A healthy blush appeared on his face, making her so much more beautiful like a love goddess, who just jumped from heaven's gate.
" Hehe~ my cute little cat is being shy after all the things we did on our way here." Karl teased her while stroking her hair.
Rowanna's face was now red as a ruby and she was on the verge of exploding.
' Ahh, she is soooo fucking cute!'
" Leave!" Karl ordered.
All the servants who were in his bedchamber left quickly leaving him and Rowanna alone in the room.
Without any warning, Karl grabbed Rowanna by her ass and with a flick of his hand made the door closed.
" Fuweh? What are you going to do?"
" Can't you see what I'm going to do?"
Karl groped her buttcheeks with both of his hands and sealed her mouth with his. After, a battle with each other's tongues in the mouth, Karl picked her up as a princess and put her on the spacious luxury bed. His divine pheromones started to spread through the whole room making Rowanna more and more aroused.
" Ahh.. just ravage me!" She screamed in expectation.
" Ohhkay! You should have told me sooner!" Karl continued to tease her.
Then the view became somewhat blurred and darkened and slowly began to zoom out.
Continuous moans and flesh-pounding sounds began to leak outside from the bedchambers making even male eunuchs aroused.

" So you are saying, Rowanna Neitherhood is in a relationship with Karl, am I right?"
" Yes, my lord."
Right now Ethel was kneeling in front of Wongoner Sargeer, who was sitting on a dark red-black throne and was reporting the latest news he found about Karl.
" You saw them acting intimately in your own eyes?"
" Yes, my lord, that was quite shameful."
" Hmm.." Wongoner waited for a moment over brooding the current situation before nodding.
" Yes, it can be possible that they started a relationship in the torture house… yeah, it is the most possible reason for this. Interesting. Interesting indeed HAHAHAHA."
Hearing his maniacal laugh, Ethel flinched but continued to look at the floor he was kneeling.
" What? Ethel, are you afraid of me?"
" No, I mean yes I mean, I don't know." Ethel staggered.
Wongoner disappeared and appeared in front of Ethel and lifted his face by his chin using his fingers. He looked into his eyes and whispered,
" You are the only servant of mine, whose mind is not controlled by me. I hope you know how important it is to have your true self beside me, right?"
" Of-of course, m-my lord. I know that!"
After looking into his eyes for a long minute, the emperor muttered, " Good to know that" and again appeared on his throne.
" Keep an eye on him for now. I will think about what to do with him. Let him enjoy his life for the time being."
" As you wish my lord."
" You can go now!"
Ethel stood up, bowed again, turned and left the emperor who was resting his chin on his left hand with closed eyes.
