"Arthur!"
A loud voice called out to me from the main path of my mansion as I relaxed around the garden, sitting on the bench near the flower beds.
I looked over and noticed a familiar girl with swaying brown hair and bouncing breasts running toward me with a happy expression and tears trailing down her cheek. A familiar maid followed right behind her.
This time, Jane didn't wear a dark robe, so her appearance in a French maid dress which exposed her cleavage was clear. Unexpectedly, she had fairly big breasts, although still smaller than Eliza's.
As I had expected, Eliza came running to my door right when the sky turned orange.
She immediately jumped toward me and buried my face between her breasts. They were soft but a bit suffocating.
"Thank you… Thank you, Arthur! I heard from Jane about what had happened."
Backing away, Eliza erased the tears with her sleeves. A bright smile plastered on her face.
Jane was bowing deeply toward me a few steps away behind her. I nodded slightly to the maid and turned to Eliza, smiling softly.
"You're my childhood friend as well as my best friend. Of course, I would help you."
I stretched my hand toward her face, helping her to wipe the trail left behind by her tears with <Purification>. A bit overkill, but I'd like to see her beautiful face instead of a tears-filled one. I've had enough of that.
"Besides, I also want to help your family, who helped the orphanage where I lived to keep operating." I continued and scooted to the side of the bench, giving Eliza some space to sit beside me.
"Un." Eliza nodded, sitting in the space I created for her. She looked at me while leaning against her hands that were placed on the bench, swinging her legs. "But I want to thank you. If not for you, then I…"
Her words trailed as she looked like she wanted to cry again.
My hand moved to her head, petting her softly. The soft strands of her brown hair got strangled between my fingers, and I brought them closer and smelt them.

Eliza's face flushed red from my gesture. Her mouth repeatedly opened and closed like a goldfish in a pond.
"Wa wa wa–"
She couldn't even form coherent words due to how embarrassed she was.
"As I said." I raised my head, and our blue eyes met. "I also want to check on something in Rose Barony, so it's not really much. So don't worry about it, okay? If you want to, I will provide you with a room in my mansion, and we can go to Rose Barony tomorrow."
"Huh, tomorrow?" She raised her voice, surprised. "Isn't that too fast?"
"It's not." I pulled my hand away and shook my head. "The faster we move, the better it is. You have found me, the Paladin. So the next rational thing we can do is to settle this problem as fast as possible. Besides…"
I looked to the flower bed and continued in a low voice, "I have something to investigate in Rose Barony."
When Adam approached me, I was too focused to know about his condition and how to cure it. Because of that, I made the mistake of not using my magic item to trace where the caster of the charm was. And due to that, I lost the hint about Beatrice.
At that time, I was sure Beatrice would still stay in Academy City somewhere, but I didn't think she would go to Capital City and do this massive charm thing.
'There should possibly be more nobles that got charmed.'
Unfortunately, I didn't know much about <Charm Magic> in Sins Paradise. But according to Garcia when we had a talk after I gave her the reward she deserved, there should be a limit to how many people a Succubus could charm at once.
'Depending on the skill's Level, the number of people who can be charmed at once is different. 1 person for Lv 1 skill, 2 for Lv 2, and continue.'
Looking at Beatrice's Level, probably around 50 or 52, her skill Level wouldn't be higher than 5.
'I know 4 people, but 2 of them had already been released from her charm as I killed them already, resetting their status. So that left her with 3 more slots.'
But Adam had returned to her side. So it was to assume that she still had 2 more slots for her charm.
"Don't worry, Eliza." I looked at Eliza and smiled at her. "You will be okay. I promise you."
"Y-Yeah." The brown-haired girl nodded with a red tint across her face. "Thank you."

That night, I didn't call any nuns to my room.
I was already satisfied with the threesome I had with Emilia and Garcia last night. Added to my quick sex with Garcia after shopping with Milea, I was pretty satisfied.
However, that wasn't all the reason why I didn't call any of them.
My room was connected to a small balcony. It was hidden behind a curtain and big double windows.
I stood against the balcony's railing while looking at the cloudy night sky. The breeze felt nice, tickling my face and ruffling my hair.
On the edge of my vision was the <Presence Detection> radar. It showed 6 blue dots inside my mansion, and 1 yellow one belonged to Eliza's maid. All those blue dots were my nuns plus Eliza.
Just like usual, Garcia was standing in the lobby. I asked Milea and Mia to help our guests, so they were on standby near Eliza's room with her maid. As for the twins, I asked them to raise their guard for tonight, and currently, they were hiding in the garden.
I expected something to happen tonight. Why? Because I noticed something after having dinner with Eliza. Another dot approached the mansion at a fast speed, and the twin nuns appeared in front of me when I stepped out of the dining room earlier.
However, I told them to let someone with that dot enter the mansion, and now we arrived at this.
Rustle rustle–
A rustling sound came from the bush a bit away from me. Due to the mansion's front and the garden being lit by magic lamps, I could see that it was Lisa who made the rustling sound, giving me a signal that someone had approached the mansion.
Those nuns were quite skilled at detection, it seemed. However, I also noticed it from my <Presence Detection>.
I raised my hand to reassure them that I recognized this person and did not stop her. Just a few seconds later, I heard a soft thud behind me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTurning around, I saw a person dressed in black assassin garb. The garb consisted of a half-transparent bodysuit that showed her dark skin underneath and bondage-type clothes that only covered her breasts region connected to her crotch.
Long gloves that went to her upper arms as well as a pauldron, decorated her right shoulder. She also wore high black combat boots and a mask to hide her lower face.
Her white hair fell slowly due to gravity, and her bright red eyes gazed at me.
"Master, Sandra has returned."
She was Sandra, the assassin who promised loyalty to me as long as I gave her three meals daily.
"I have brought information from the Bluerose Duchy and fed false information, as you've ordered."
Yes. While Duke Bluerose was a fool, he wasn't truly a fool.
I was just baffled at how easy it was to manipulate him and thanked Beatrice for taking the information willingly.
"Good job, Sandra." I praised my shadow and received a confirmation. "I will give you a reward. Your Sins shall be erased." I grinned as notifications rang in my head/
[Ding! The requirement to dominate Sandra has been completed.]
[You can dominate her right now!]
[Dominate Sandra? Yes/No]
I immediately pressed 'Yes' and what happened to Emilia before happened to Sandra. A small pink heart-shaped tattoo appeared above her crotch, which was visible due to her half-transparent dress. My name, Arthur Vainglory, was written in the middle of the tattoo, marking her as mine.
[Ding! Sandra is dominated!]
[Now she can't refuse your order!]
"This…" She also received the same notification, but it should be slightly different than mine. "Master… Did you dominate me? But how? We are not in the Domination House." She appeared to be baffled but not angry, only surprised.
"I am the Paladin. I can do at least this much." This answer would always satisfy other people who sought an incomprehensible explanation. As proof, Sandra nodded.
"I see. Thank you for dominating me, Master." Sandra bowed her head deeply at me. I couldn't really see her expression due to her mask. "This shadow will serve you faithfully."
"That's enough. Raise your head." I said simply. "Now, let's hear your report." I continued.
"Yes."
