Baron Pheros was not an impressive-looking man. He was neither tall nor muscular. He was average in all specs that counted except the feeling of his magic.

'Fuck, he doesn't look like the main character at all. How did this man play an important role in this arc by being this plane?'

That was the first thought that crossed Enma's mind before he forced himself to remember that this world was no longer fictional but a reality for him now.

The rules of a did not apply in such a world and he needed to separate his past self from his present self.

'Still, seeing him make those sick eyes at Elysia and checking her out feels gross. How did I endure it in the ?'

There had been more than a few odd people who had made a passing remark about Elysia's beauty and being attracted to her but it had never hit home to Enma before. He had felt nothing when that happened to Elysia.

However, when that had happened to Eve there had been criticism and even annoyance. After all, Eve had been the heroine who wanted everything to go well while Elysia was the villainess who deserved everything.

That was how he had thought before he had been thrown into this world. And now faced with such a situation, he could not help but feel disgusted.

But there was one person who was even more pissed off than him and that was the familiar at his side. Sorias looked like he would kill the Baron where he stood right then and there. And that made Enma afraid for his life as well.

After all, if Sorias went on a rampage then his next target would naturally be Enma.

"Calm down, it's alright. Elysia can take care of herself if things came to that."

Enma knew Elysia could take care of herself but she seemed to be having a hard time dealing with the Baron right now. He could see how uncomfortable she looked even from this far off and it made him want to help her out.

'Why do I have such a bleeding heart? I wish I could turn my feelings away.'

That was just Enma self-praising himself and warping things from his perspective. He knew that he was selfish and not a good human. He just wanted to open his paths in this new world and Elysia's safety was necessary for that.

'That and I don't want Lord Dirac to kill me because something happened to his sister. Man, who did he turn out to be a sis-con of all things? What happened to the original plot of not caring about Elysia even at her death doors?'

Who knew what went on in the mind of one Lord Dirac? Enma certainly did not know and he was too afraid to even guess at this point.

"I will break every bone in that man's hand if he touched Elysia one more time. I cannot believe he dared to ask her for a hug this openly."

Sorias's words caused Enma to quickly do a double back and then flinch at what he saw. Baron Pheros had his arms around Elysia and he was sure he could see him placing it all over her back.

It looked wrong for a sixteen years old girl to be felt up like this openly but even Elysia was holding on to her temper which made things awkward for them.

Elysia's patience and lack of counter-attack meant that she did not want them interfering with her work. But that did not mean that they had to like what they saw.

Especially Lady Pheros looked ready to murder her husband. He was not letting Elysia go even when more than appropriate time had passed.

But the most unique expression was held by the maid who had led them there. She was clenching her fists and her eyes held fury and betrayal in them.

She did not look happy to see her Lord behaving like this with someone else who was not her. How shameful of her to show her emotions so openly.

"Lord Pheros, you should let Lady Dirac go now. I am sure she is tired because of the journey she underwent and now wants to rest in her room."

Lady Pheros interfered as soon as things started to venture into really unsafe territory. Her hands came down to stop her husband who looked a little taken aback at being interrupted before he smiled his 'perfect' smile.

"Of course. Layla, make sure you show Lady Dirac to the best room in the mansion and send someone to take care of all her needs. I want her to feel comfortable in this mansion."

The servant, Layle had a sour look on her face that went unnoticed by the lord but she did bow toward the group as she lead them away.

Enma had a feeling that this lady was going to be trouble for them and he vowed to keep an eye out for her.

It had been an awkward meeting for Elysia and she tried to calm her nerves down and make her magic settle.

Lord Baron's request for a handshake had taken her aback and his request to hug had been a downright terrifying thing to be faced with. It had left Elysia in a bind about what she should do.

But she had granted those requests in the end and Lord Pheros had taken liberties with his boundaries while engaging in such physical contact.

Had it not been for Elysia's habit to keep her temper in check, she would have cracked his head open a long time ago.

In fact, she would have killed him off as soon as she felt his hands venturing down her body like a pair of slimy appendages.

'I feel so dirty. I just want to take a shower and get the feeling of that magic out of my body. I cannot believe that Baron Pheros dared to check my reserves using his magic.'

Lady had said that her husband had been obsessed with magic but he was taking his obsession to a whole new level.

When his magic had touched Elysial, it had felt unnatural and repulsive. Elysia had taken a step back as soon as she had been faced with it.

Not only was there something unnatural about his magic, but it had been riddled with so much miasma that Elysia had been surprised to see him even alive.

Such impurities usually ended up killing someone way before their time. That man had too many magical signatures inside his body for it to be healthy.

How had he managed to condemn himself like that, even Elysia had no idea. Nor did she want to know if given the chance.

"Elysia, are you alright? I can end that man if you want me to."

Sorias looked pissed off as well. He had picked up on Elysia's uncomfortableness and was showing open support. If there was one person who understood her, it was Sorias right now.

And Elysia was thankful for his support.

However, no matter how much Sorias offered to help her out, there were things Elysia could not allow him to do and this was also one of them.

Baron Pheros's position in the defense border was too important to risk over a personal beef like this. She needed to think in the border terms if she wanted to not risk pissing people off.

"I am completely fine. Nothing significant happened and we will not talk about it. Also, make sure that none of what happened reaches Lucas's ears or we will all be held responsible."

Sorias opened his mouth as if to say something before stopping with a thoughtful look on his face. It faded into a full-body shudder as he clamped shut hard.

"Why would we….Oh yeah, we should be quiet about it. For a second I forgot how dangerous your brother was."

Elysia wanted to defend Lucas but there was nothing she could say that would make this situation better. Lucas was a problem most of the time anyway and he was dangerous.

It was better that people feared him than to walk all over him. He just gave off that feeling of superiority.

"Fine, we won't tell Lucas. But I assure you that he will find out about it and he will not be happy. Then we will all die."

Sorias seemed like he had accepted his fate to die already. Elysia could see his eyes already accepting the reality of the situation and she felt bad for him.

'Poor Sorias. Even he knows that he will be the first victim of my brother's anger if this news gets to him.'

Elysia felt bad for Sorias. He was just doing his job but everyone else was making it impossible for him to live his carefree life. And Elysia was not someone who could say anything since she was the prime source of his stress.

"Anyway, what's done is done and there is no use crying over spilled milk. Let's focus on what we can do for now and that is to crack this case open."

Elysia was not sure how Lady Pheros had managed to handle her husband for so long even with his ways. He was far more creepy than anyone had given her credit for.

"Uhmmm, here is your Lady Dirac. Please let me know if you need something else. I will do my best to offer you our best service."

Layla's voice was dry and could be best described as uninterested. She had no intention of helping Elysia with anything. Her attitude matched the Head Butler in the Dirac estate and Elysia knew that she was in for a rough ride.

The air had turned awkward and Elysia was sure that the maid had heard every word that was spoken here and would soon report about their conversation to her master.

Well, this was a grave oversight.

"Do you think Baron Pheros would notice if we offed one of his maids? I don't think so."

Sorias said that jokingly but Elysia had a feeling that he was anything but joking. There was a mean look in his eyes that made even Elysia take a step back.
