Chapter 21 - Florida Man Avenges Perverted Employer Who Molested Him in His Sleep by Sleeping with the Employer's Maid
At night, Felix stayed awake, volunteering to be a night watch guard for the family. Everyone but Felix went to sleep, except for Roland.
Roland was a two-circle mage who excelled at supporting spells such as appraisal and detection. He had also mastered the art of mana circulation, allowing him to need less sleep - only one hour instead of six each day!
The lord had already had enough sleep. Instead of waking up, Roland circulated mana inside his body while pretending to be asleep, observing Felix's actions. However, Felix never showed any signs of hostility toward the family or engaged in any suspicious activity, except when he went out to take care of personal business, such as urinating.
At 1 AM, Roland stopped acting. He stood up and approached Felix.
"Sir, you can take a break now. I'll take it from here until morning."
Felix nodded and checked the mini-map. Not even a hostile wild animal was present in their area.
After making sure that their camp was safe for the night, Felix lay on the ground to get some sleep. He didn't forget to remind Jessica.
"Jessica, if something happens, wake me up, alright?"
"…Be merciful, please."
Felix dryly laughed, shut his eyes, and fell asleep.

Roland stared at Felix and appraised him once again. Like before, he couldn't feel Felix's mana or detect his artifacts.
'Odd,' Roland thought. He continued watching, waiting for Felix to fall into a deep sleep.
Thirty minutes later, Felix entered REM sleep. Roland crouched next to the fake mage and searched his body. He slipped his hands into Felix's pockets, patting his suit, pants, and shirt, but found no artifacts or items.
'This is impossible! He's not a real mage! He can't possibly use the spatial spell! Where are the storage artifact?!'
Roland smacked his lips. He wanted to strip Felix to find the rifle or any related artifact, but his moral integrity stopped him from going further. Giving up, he adjusted Felix's clothes and walked away.
Looking at the carriage where Valley and Jane were sleeping inside, Roland pondered if he should ask Jane to continue seducing Felix to find his secrets. But when he thought about the nasty people from the Turo House, Roland felt ashamed.
'No. If I steal his belongings, I'll become the same as them. This is wrong. I shouldn't be doing this from the start!'
The elder deeply regretted his actions. He sat next to Adam, who took shelter under a tree. Mary was also resting nearby, soundly asleep.
Sitting cross-legged, Roland meditated, scanning the area with his mana. He watched the camp and protected everybody until morning.

At 5 AM, everyone woke up, including Felix. Upon returning from his dreamland, Jessica displayed a video of the events from the night before, after he had fallen asleep.
The resolution was in 8K and 480Hz, revealing every detail as Roland searched Felix's body for items. Watching the recorded video, Felix shook his head in disappointment.
'Wow. What a douche. I can't trust you anymore. I guess I should move out of his city and go back to that mansion. I'll use it as a base instead," Felix thought.
After making his decision, Felix pondered about the oil deposit site west of the detour road. He made a mental note, planning to visit that after he properly secured the mansion.
Felix ate snack bars for breakfast and got ready to resume their journey south.
…
The carriage arrived at Terra City at dusk. Like Aero Academy City, tall brick walls and moats served as a barrier, protecting it from wild beasts and bandits. A drawbridge gate at the center was as the only entrance.
Roland's vehicle effortlessly passed checkpoints with Lundop House's badge, reaching the inner city district. Inside the inner wall, a single mansion, reminiscent of a castle, towered over the surrounding gardens.
As the carriage stopped before the mansion, a dozen young and old maids came out from the buildings to welcome them. Roland got down from the coachman's seat and walked toward the mansion butler.
"Welcome to Terra Mansion, Lord Roland." Uttered the butler.
Roland inquired, "Is my son aware of my arrival?"
"He awaits you inside."
"Good. I'll see him shortly. Also, can you provide my subordinates accommodations? There's an injured maid in the carriage, and my granddaughter isn't feeling well."
"Understood."
The middle-aged butler, in a tuxedo suit, observed Felix on the coachman's seat with narrowed eyes, unfamiliar with him. Thankfully, Roland introduced Felix.
"Sam, this is Felix Ariel, a wandering mercenary. Show him to a guest room and ensure his comfort. He is my benefactor."
Butler Sam respectfully acknowledged Roland and warmly smiled at Felix.
"Leave the wagon and horses to us. Please follow me."
Valley, Mary, and Adam assisted Jane as they descended from the carriage. The other maids rushed to aid them, and soon everyone entered the mansion.
…
As everyone followed Roland to meet his son, the current lord of Terra City, Sam led Felix to a luxurious guest room on the mansion's west wing third floor. He stopped at a large door and invited Felix inside.
Felix felt a sense of déjà vu as he was brought to a guest room for the second time by a butler, but he accepted the gesture nonetheless.
Stepping into the room, Felix was greeted by a spacious area with a king-sized bed, a chandelier, a lounge area, and ornate pictures on the wall, reminiscent of a palace bedroom. He walked in as Sam closed the door behind him, leaving Felix alone.
After taking in the room's features, Felix realized there was no bathroom. He turned and opened the door, peeking outside. Seeing Sam about to leave, Felix asked, "Excuse me, where is the bathroom? I need to take a bath."
Sam, taken aback, coughed and pointed down the hallway, saying, "It's over there, sir."
"Ah, thank you," Felix replied.
Felix hurried down the hallway to take a quick bath, feeling the need for one after several days without.
Fortunately, there was no such thing as accidental peeping or a naked heroine encounter in real life. Felix got to bath in the mansion in peace.
Feeling refreshed after bathing, Felix returned to his room and undressed, jumping onto the bed with a long sigh, relishing its fluffiness and softness.
Exhausted from the long journey, Felix quickly fell asleep.
…
At midnight, a curvy silhouette opened the door and slipped inside. The moonlight shone into the room, revealing Jane's appearance.
The injuries in her chest were gone. Color also returned to her face as the lord of Terra City personally healed her.
Entering Felix's room, Jane walked toward the bed and gazed at the naked man, sleeping on his stomach. She giggled and covered him with a blanket. Then, she kissed his cheek.
"Rest well, my lord. I'll come back tomorrow night. Please be awake next time."
Jane collected Felix's clothes, folded them, and placed them on the cabinet next to his bed. After the little chore, she sat on the bed and stroked Felix's hair.
Suddenly, Felix snapped open his eyes as Jessica haunted him in his dream. He dreamed that he was floating in the white void while Jessica lashed him with an electric whip, forcing him to wake up.
Dizzied and half-awake, Felix noticed Jane sitting on the bed. Their eyes locked.
Jane was delighted. She lowered her head and kissed his lips. Her nimble hands stripped her dress as she slipped into the bed.
Felix, mistaking the approach as a dream, did not reject her. He welcomed her kisses and embraced her.
At long last, after a series of blue-balling, they shared a hot night together.

*DING*

But as a first timer, Felix might been too enthusiastic about it.
