CHAPTER 64: CHAPTER 64- A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING ON [ENDLESS ARDOR]

"Even if Earl Malmond has thrown his hands with the likes of the demons, without proof you cannot bring him down. What’s more, his associates are in the Council of Elders. You should know that they already have a negative impression of the Order of the Temple of Light. So if you go and accuse one of their members, it would only sound like slander, giving them more reason to pressure our Arcknight house."

Raymond shook his head, finding his actions unfeasible.

"Then what should I do?"...

"For now, do nothing. On the surface, we just ignore it. However, we will investigate Earl Malmond’s behind the scene and see if we can find any connection of his involvement with the demons".

As someone who has been managing the duke household for many decades, Raymond was much more proficient with politics.

"Besides, the Order of the Temple of Light has weakened drastically over the years. Of course, you waking up has strengthened the order somewhat. However, the same cannot be said for the knights and the order as a whole. We need to strengthen our forces to their previous glory before we make any move."

In its prime, the Order of the Temple of Light was one of the top three knight orders of the Kingdom.

After thinking for a while, Reinhardt nodded his head. In any case, if he wanted to fight the demons, he needed a force behind him. The Order of the Temple of Light was the perfect group for that.

After finishing their talks, he went on to meet Arthur and Verdia. The latter was sitting inside a pavilion wearing a beautiful yellow dress and enjoying her tea. After the event in the capital, she had become more open to him.

Of course, it was only to the point where she did not ignore him any longer.

Arthur, as usual, was the bundle of energy and made a commotion to get Reinhardt to teach him swordsmanship.

"Arthur, your big brother just came from an expedition. He is tired, let him rest. You can ask him to teach you later" Verdia scolded. Finally ,the little rugrat gave up and behaved.

.

.

For the rest of the day, he gave rest to his exhausted body and enjoyed the comfort of his bed. Of course, thanks to Anastasia’s presence, the bed felt even more comfortable.

"Are you sure you don’t have to tend to your husband?"...

"Him... Shlup... Shlik~... He is probably sleeping like a log by now.. Slurp" the headmaid spoke as she gave him a blowjob. Her tongue coiled around the tip of his penis as she slowly caressed it.

[Endless Ardor] thanks to this skill, which could be a gift or a curse, he was innumerable times more vigorous than an average man. Due to it, it also becomes quite unbearable for him when his frustration gets pent up.

As such, he needed moments like these to relax. Reinhardt folded his hands behind his head and enjoyed Anastasia’s service.

"Kuh!" Finally, when he felt like he could cum, he unloaded it all into her mouth. The latter swallowed every drop of it while licking the remains from her lips.

"Now then, it’s time for the main dish." Saying so, he flipped the maid over with her now pinned under him.

"My lord, I missed you!!" Anastasia looked at him with eyes glossed with tears and expression that begged he take her right now.

Without disappointing the maid, he quickly pulled off her dress and unbuckled his pants. Just as he was about to insert his erect rod into her dripping vagina, he noticed something.

"Did you... get stronger?" Having gained a physique and stats that broke through the limitations of mortal, he could easily tell when someone had grown stronger.

Looking at Anastasia, he could immediately tell that the latter’s body, although still as soft and curvy as a marshmallow, had grown stronger.

"My lord~ you jest. I am not a combatant and have never trained my body. How can I get stronger?" thinking that Reinhardt was simply praising her figure, she stated rubbing her body against him.

Her nipples standing upright, poked his broad chest and muscles.

’She has indeed gotten stronger’ He wasn’t wrong. When Reinhardt used the [Eyes of Divine Clarity] which was one of his skills that saw through any deception and truth, he noticed that the headmaid’s stats had made a drastic progress.

Four of her stats, including Strength and magic, had broken through the Low (Intermediate) benchmark. Not only that, her level had also increased to 2. Normally, one could not peek at other’s stats other than when using the Divine Altars left behind by the old gods.

However, thanks to his skill, he could see others’ stats.

"Ahnnng.... Ahnn... Ummn~" With Anastasia moaning, he inserted his dick into her pussy. At that moment, he saw it. A portion of energy gushed out of his body and into the maid, where it slowly spread throughout her body, slowly nourishing it before coming back to him.

So that was what was going on. The skill [Endless Ardor] not only raised a couple’s stamina and affinity during acts of intimacy, it also nourished their bodies, allowing them to break past their limit.

It was also the reason why Anastasia levelled up even though she was not a combatant.

With [Eyes of Divine Clarity] still activated, Reinhardt made love with his headmaid. Kissing her cherry lips, kneading her abundant breasts, and slamming his hips into her. Thanks to that, he was able to understand a few things.

"Haah... Uhhn... Hmmng" Skin flushed and boobs bouncing, Anastasia moaned.

The first thing was that the effects of the [Endless Ardor] are not immediate. It slowly enriches your physique, refining and strengthening it over time. That is to say, it was not like any woman he slept with would immediately see her stats rising.

No, it was the effort of many days and sessions of passion.

"Hanghh... not my nipples" Reinhardt played with her nipples, lightly biting and sucking on it.
