Felyn really wanted to complain right now.

Aren't you a dragon maiden?! The incredibly evil and powerful dragon maiden from the fairy tales?!

How can you pass out from taking a bath!

Could it be that the earlier session was too intense, causing her to expend too much energy?

Felyn quickly lifted Serafinia out of the water. If she stayed in any longer, the dragon lady was going to dissolve.

Serafinia was surprisingly light.

"Who... who are you? Only Master can hold me, get... get away..."

Serafinia's consciousness was gradually returning, but under the combined effects of alcohol and fainting, her mind was becoming muddled.

"I am your..."

Oh no! Saying "I am your master" out loud was way too embarrassing. He couldn't bring himself to say it!

Fortunately, Serafinia stopped struggling after hearing Felyn's voice.

Felyn held her and gave her a little shake in the air, trying to get rid of the remaining water droplets on her body to avoid wetting the floor when he carried her out.

"Nn, don't..."

Felyn suddenly heard a strange, breathy moan.

Who was talking?

"Master... stop playing with me..."

Serafinia wrapped her arms around Felyn's neck, continuously burrowing her head into his chest.

"Serafinia?" He looked down at the dragon lady in his arms. Her face was once again tinged with pink.

Felyn rarely interacted with this young lady on a daily basis. The process was always the same: get the tools - swing - clean up - cook - leave. There was almost no communication with Serafinia.

This was the first time Felyn had seen this side of her.

"Master, did you... did you enjoy hitting me today? Serafinia loves being hit by Master the most... mmmph!"

Serafinia didn't get to finish her sentence. Felyn had stuffed a towel in her mouth, forcibly cutting her off.

My lady! I'm begging you, please stop talking!

Although the content of your contract is already highly unusual, it can at least be explained away by draconic customs.

But what you're doing now, isn't it just blurting out all your perverted inner thoughts?!

You might feel good saying it now, but I don't want to hear it!

When you wake up in bed tomorrow morning, you'll definitely recall all this with a cold face and then come to silence me!

Felyn quickly carried Serafinia to the master bedroom, wrapped her up in a bath towel, then pulled the towel off and covered her with a blanket.

Then Felyn began to hesitate over a problem.

Should he put clothes on her or not?

If he did, she would wake up tomorrow morning thinking he had seen her whole body while dressing her.

If he didn't, she would wake up tomorrow morning to find herself naked and be even more certain that he had seen everything.

Fortunately, Serafinia made the choice for him.

While Felyn was hesitating, she used her tongue to push the towel out of her mouth.

"Master... don't put clothes on me. I always sleep naked, it's more comfortable... and my underwear won't get wet. Sometimes I even call out Master's name and..."

"Alright, you don't need to say any more."

Felyn covered his ears with a serious expression. He didn't want to hear about Serafinia's strange little quirks.

What did she just say?

I didn't hear anything.

Felyn searched the room for any hard objects. He was afraid Serafinia would remember this episode tomorrow morning, so he considered knocking her unconscious.

However, Felyn still couldn't bring himself to strike a client. He was afraid the dragon lady might have some automatic defense mechanism that would backfire and kill him.

It was better to just slip away at a time like this.

Just as Felyn was about to leave, Serafinia reached out and grabbed his wrist.

"Ma... Master, are you leaving?"

"Serafinia, for the sake of both of us not being awkward tomorrow, I have to go."

Felyn broke free from Serafinia's grip and turned to flee out the door.

"Then... can you tell everyone around me to stop bullying me..."

Felyn's departing footsteps hung in mid-air.

He thought he had misheard.

The word "bully," coming from Serafinia's mouth?

"Who's bullying you?" Felyn didn't even notice his tone had softened.

Serafinia's brow furrowed. "My older sister and my younger sister, they were all... they were all..."

"By who?"

Her lips opened and closed in vain, only a faint breath escaping.

Even so, Felyn clearly read Serafinia's lips.

Two words.

Hero.

The hero slays the evil dragon. Unfortunately, Serafinia was that evil dragon.

So that's how it was.

Felyn silently placed Serafinia's exposed hand back inside and carefully tucked the corner of the blanket.

His fingertips paused, but ultimately, he lifted his hand and, with a gentleness that didn't belong to Serafinia, he stroked her head.

"Master..." she repeated the word, her eyebrows completely relaxed.

"You've worked hard, Serafinia."

After saying this, Felyn closed the curtains for her and then turned off the light.

"See you next time."

The night was already deep.

Felyn packed up the food he had just made, preparing to take it home.

Serafinia never ate leftovers. The food he just made hadn't been touched, and it would be a waste to throw it away.

He could heat it up at home and eat it for two or three days.

He didn't stay the night at Serafinia's house, otherwise, it would be impossible to explain.

After coming down from the transfer sigil device, Felyn found that the previously empty downstairs lobby was now filled with many nobles.

Most of them were red-faced from drinking, saying things that sounded sickeningly sweet on a normal day.

The building Serafinia lived in was one of the most luxurious mansions in Seiwa, mostly inhabited by nobles and wealthy merchants.

It looked like some noble was hosting a private banquet.

"Felyn?" a voice suddenly came from behind.

Felyn pretended not to hear and quickened his pace towards the exit.

"Something came up, I have to go. Let's meet up another day," the voice came again.

"Alright, Lord Silafiel. We'll arrange another time."

It's Lord Silafiel!

Felyn's pace quickened even more, gradually increasing the distance between himself and the middle-aged Silafiel.

Hmph, youth is a wonderful thing.

In a flash, Felyn reached the main entrance, and Silafiel was no longer in sight behind him.

Although Felyn didn't know why Silafiel was looking for him, he didn't want to meet with him.

"Mr. Felyn, please wait a moment."

The maid who had led Felyn into the building earlier was now blocking him at the entrance.

"Is there something I can help you with?"

"Lord Silafiel just sent a message asking you to wait for him."

It's over. I forgot about Silafiel's money power.

Felyn saw several tall guards appear at the entrance and could only accept the cruel reality.

"Felyn, you're quite fast on your feet."

A moment later, Silafiel slowly arrived by Felyn's side.

"Lord Silafiel! I didn't expect to run into you here." Felyn switched his facial expression almost instantly upon turning around. With the respect due to a client, he waved at Silafiel.

"I didn't expect to run into you here. Are you working for a client right now?"

Felyn held up the bag in his hand, pointing to the leftovers inside.

"I work for a restaurant. I can take these leftovers home for free."

Silafiel glanced at the bag in Felyn's hand, nodded, and didn't say much more.

"Let's talk in the car. It's not convenient here."

In Lord Silafiel's luxurious carriage, Felyn and Silafiel sat opposite each other, as if about to discuss major life decisions.

After some simple pleasantries, Silafiel got straight to the point.

"Did you and Viloti have a falling out?"

"Miss Viloti?"

Felyn hadn't expected Silafiel to call him into the car just to talk about this. "I don't think so. We've just been in less contact recently."

Silafiel waved his hand. "I know why. It's about that Isabella matter, right? I've been investigating in secret recently and found some things. Isabella unintentionally mentioned the possibility of a contract, so Viloti has become a bit suspicious."

With enough money, there was nothing that couldn't be found out, especially since Silafiel was a titled noble.

Investigating the two followers around Isabella was an easy matter.

He continued, "I didn't expect things to develop in such a... dramatic way. But thankfully, Viloti is only suspicious for now, it hasn't been fully exposed. She must never find out about this. I don't want to see her go back to how she was before."

"I don't want that either, Lord Silafiel," Felyn interjected at the right moment.

"So, I've come to ask a favor of you this time."

Silafiel took out a contract from a hidden compartment in the car and placed it in front of Felyn.

"The payment for the contract is doubled. You will continue to be contracted with me. This time, the content of the contract is to stay by Viloti's side and dispel the thoughts in her mind."

The contract was just as Silafiel had said. The payment was doubled, and the content was simple: just to prevent Viloti from becoming suspicious.

But Felyn didn't see an end date for the service in the terms.

"Is there no termination date for the contract?"

"No. I can't make the same mistake as last time. I can't have you suddenly leave. You can slowly terminate the contract after Viloti's suspicions are gone."

Felyn held the pen and flipped to the last page of the document.

This was pretty good too. He had already decided to stay by Viloti's side to dispel her doubts anyway.

He could take care of Viloti and earn money at the same time. A win-win.

Felyn looked at the familiar signature line, and the pen in his hand slowly descended.

Silafiel took the contract Felyn handed over and flipped to the last page.

"Hm? You didn't sign?"

"Allow me to refuse, Lord Silafiel."
