"Tell me, what happened? Is father alright?" Max urged.
Esther looked at him and said, "Yes, he is fine. We just received his message that the team to hunt three-starred beasts had formed but there are only a few three-star mages in the team and judging from the reports on Beast tide there are more than a dozen three-starred beast in the magical forest."
She paused and looked toward Amelia, who seemed too worried, and continued "So we are slightly worried even though we know that nothing would happen to your father as he is also a very powerful three-star mage."
"Ohh! This is the case." Max let out a sigh of relief.
He then looked at them and smiled beautifully. "Don't worry, father is indeed very strong. He can handle those beasts easily with other mages, and there is less chance of them encountering all the beasts at the same time. Even if they did, they can just retreat. You guys don't have to worry so much." He tried to ease their worries.
"Mhm... You are right." Esther and Mina nodded and looked at Amelia who was the most worried and talked to her to relieve some of her tension.
After talking to them for a few minutes, more, Max came out of their room. He wanted to talk to his father, but he still haven't returned. However Esther told him that, before going into the forest to hunt, he will come home first. So Max decided he would talk to him then.
When he returned to his room, he saw Lilly sitting on the bed. She was wearing a purple coloured one-piece dress which was clinging to her body on the chest and hips but covered her completely, barely showing any skin, Making her look even more charming. Max stared at her, pleasantly surprised. Although he knew that Lilly was beautiful, he didn't expect her to look so much more beautiful in different clothes. He patted himself inwardly for buying her these. Her current beauty could easily make any man fall in love with her.
When Lilly saw him entering the room, she stood up with her head down. She blushed when Max kept staring at her, but she felt good in her heart. Any girl would feel good when the one she loves looks at her like that, and Lilly was no exception.
She looked up when she remembered how worried she was when she returned to his room and saw him passed out with small injuries all over his body. She asked sternly, or she tried, "Wh-Where did you get those injuries? I was so worried when you didn't wake up even in the morni..."
She couldn't complete her sentence when Max walked up to her and embraced her. Her mind went blank being embraced by him so suddenly, but she quickly came to her senses and pushed him away.
She rebuked in a soft voice, "I'm asking something. Why do you have to worry me like this? I was so worried when I couldn't find you anywhere in the mansion and found you here passed out, injured." Her eyes teared up.
Max felt bad seeing her worry like this, but at the same time, he felt good that she genuinely cared about him.
He cupped her face lovingly and said as he looked her into the eyes, "I'm sorry for worrying you." He apologised and then explained to her what had happened.
"Remember the ring I bought from that merchant. It turned out that it was a legacy item. It suddenly teleported me to the legacy ground. There..."
***
After listening to him, she stared at him in awe. She knew a little about the powerful beings such as Kings, Emperors and Monarchs. Max had told her occasionally when he spent his time studying. She knew that they were almost godlike beings and The strongest ruler of their kingdom was only a King ranked mage who established the green leaf kingdom.
Now the man she loved has received the legacy from a powerful being like the crimson Emperor. Naturally, She was happy, so happy that she couldn't speak, but at the same time, she felt worry growing in her heart.
Now that Max has already become a two-star mage at such a young age and inherited the legacy from an Emperor ranked mage, he would no doubt become more powerful in future, and many women would try to court him.
Although she already knew that he would have more women beside her and he had promised her that she would be his Main wife, she was still worried. Worried about the fact that she was weak and might continue being weak and become a burden on him and won't be able to accompany him in his future adventures, which would undoubtedly be dangerous. Some strong woman might take his heart, and he would no longer love her.
Lilly shook her head and suddenly slapped her cheeks and thought 'No, I will also become strong so that I will be with him always and won't let anyone steal him from me.'
Max was dumbfounded by the sudden change in her behaviour and asked, "What happened? Are you alright?"
"Yes, I'm fine. I'm happy that you had such a fortunate encounter." After saying this, she suddenly put her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips.
Max felt odd because he could feel that she was worried about something but didn't think more and kissed her tasty lips back.
When Max was getting into the mood, Lilly suddenly broke the kiss and said while looking at him, "I don't want to be left behind. I want to become strong too so that I can accompany you always."
He was momentarily stunned and then smiled when he saw the determination in her eyes. "Oh, Okay. Come with me then." Max grabbed her hand and crossed his fingers with hers as he led her out of the room.
She didn't resist and let him drag her with him. She had made resolve in her heart to face reality.
Max led her towards the library. Many maids and guards saw them and started whispering among themselves.
"Who is that lady with the young master? She is too beautiful."
"It seems young master has found himself a good lady."
"But why does she looks familiar? It seems I've seen her somewhere."
"Hey, isn't that Lilly? Young master's personal maid."
"Yeah, she is. I didn't think she would be so cunning and make her move on the young master."
"Yeah, you are right. I heard she started living with him in his room recently."
"Her life is set now. Young master isn't like before. He has become a two-star mage at such a young age. Maybe I should also try my luck on him."
"You? Have you seen your face in the mirror? He won't even give you a second look. Hehe."
"..."
Some maids recognised Lilly and started gossiping. Some started defame her while some became jealous of her.
Lilly bit her lower lip hard that it started bleeding, and her eyes became wet. She tightened her grip on his hand to feel his warmth.
Max suddenly stopped in his tracks when he felt her hand tremble and looked toward the maids who were badmouthing her and said coldly, "Don't you have anything else to do? She is my woman, and if I hear any of you talking bad about her, I'll kill you." His eyes burned with flames, and the temperature around him started to rise.
"I'm sorry young master. Forgive us." Every maid felt scared under his cold gaze and hurriedly apologised and went away.

He ignored them and walked toward the library with Lilly. Soon they were in front of the library hall. He entered with Lilly and led her to the corner where Esther had found the mana formation scroll for him.
"Stop right there." A cold voice sounded out from behind. Lilly tensed up, thinking that she might not be allowed to enter. The librarian, who was an old man, came toward them. Max stopped and waited for him to come because he knew that the librarian was only doing his duty. Only the Garfield family could enter this section. Apart from them, everyone had to take special permission, and the librarian had to verify their identities.
But when the librarian saw Max, he bowed respectfully and said, "It's young master Maxwell. Forgive me; you can enter." He moved aside and let them enter the skill section.
It was a big hall with many shelves arranged in rows. There were many skill scrolls and skill books neatly arranged on the wooden shelves. Lilly was looking around with a dazed expression.
Before, as a maid, she wasn't even allowed to enter the library and could only read the books Max occasionally gave her, but now she could choose any book or skill which even the Knights weren't usually allowed to touch. Although She knew that there were many skills in the library, She was surprised to see these many books in one place.
"You can choose any skill you want, and there should be some ice spells too because Esther is also an ice mage. Find those which you think would suit you. I'm going back; for now, take your time." Max pointed to the shelves and said. He then kissed her and went out.
After exiting the skill section, he walked to the old librarian "Librarian, Let her stay here as long as she wants and choose her skills. If you can, help her find some suitable ones but remember, treat her respectfully." Librarian hurriedly nodded. At this point, everyone knew that Max wasn't like before and has already become a two-star mage showing great potential for the future. Max had to warn him because he noticed that the librarian had a cold personality, and he didn't want him to be rude to her.
When Max returned to his room, he found Eva standing outside his room. Seeing Max coming, She put on a charming smile and greeted him, "How are you, Max? If you have some time, can we talk?"
"Oh, sure. Come inside." Max smiled and led her inside.
He sat down on the bed and gestured for her to sit. "Sit wherever you like." After saying those words, he suddenly became embarrassed because in his room there was only the bed and one stone chair which wasn't near the bed.
When he was about to get up and let her sit on the bed instead, she was already seated beside him. Max looked at her from head to toe. She was wearing a yellow dress which exposed her hands and legs. He could even see her deep cleavage.
When Eva noticed that he was peeking at her boobs, she slightly stuck her chest out.
Max moved his gaze away, thinking she might feel awkward if he kept staring at her. Eva was a beautiful girl around his age, but her beauty couldn't be compared to Lilly. Her breasts were slightly bigger than Lilly's, and she looked attractive in her revealing dress.
Max couldn't help but nod his head. The women here were really of good quality. He had to fight his urge to look at her plump breasts.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" He asked, looking at her face and appreciating her beauty.
Eva secretly let out a sigh of relief when she noticed that he seemed interested in her body. She sat closer to him and smiled at him, and said, "I wanted to thank you for saving our lives from the beasts. But I couldn't find you before, so I came today to thank you."
"It's okay. We are family. Naturally, I will do whatever is necessary to ensure your safety." Max said, trying to avoid looking at her cleavage, which was tempting him very much now.
"I also wanted to apologise for my husband's rude behaviour to you. I hope you won't take that to heart and forgive him. Because in future we might have to depend on you to live a safe life." Eva put her hand in his and stroked it lightly.
Max suddenly realised why she had come to talk to him. It was because, after witnessing his strength and talent, she was worried that in future, if he became the viscount, he would make their life hard, given that her husband was the one who mocked him the most. Therefore, she wanted to seduce him, or why would she wear such revealing clothes and be so defenceless.
Max was partially correct. Eva came here for that too, but her main reason was not that. She wanted to seduce him. After the day she heard him having sex in his room and the woman's pleasure-filled moans, she couldn't stop herself from imagining having sex with him.
It's been more than a year since she married William. Initially, She wasn't interested in sex and only saw it as the process of making babies. But after the first she did it with William, she became obsessed with the pleasure it brought her. But after some time, she wasn't satisfied with him, and he then joined the magic academy, leaving her alone.
When William came back for Max's birthday celebration, he didn't pay attention to her, which made her even more frustrated. But after the beast tide, when she came back to thank Max and heard him having sex, her last line of resistance broke, and all she could think of was sex.
And when she found out that the woman he was having sex with was only a maid of the house, she thought he was also a pervert. Therefore she decided to make her move on him.
Max also noticed her intention and chuckled inwardly. 'What a cunning and lewd woman. Well, It's great if you are asking for it; I'll give it to you; I also need some lust points anyways.
