Alicia insisted on
riding with her, but I had my reasons to decline. I needed to gather so context about Arthur and the Raven siblings from Lily. With so effort, I managed to politely refuse her invitation. Alicia, pouting adorably, got into her car with Cedric and Kaela. I followed in the car behind, accompanied by my maids.
Inside the vehicle, I turned to Lily, who was sitting beside .
"Hey, Lily."
"Yes, young master?" she responded, her tone ever composed.
"I've been aning to ask—what's my relationship with the Raven siblings? My mories have been foggy since my awakening, and I can't seem to recall much about them."
Lily raised an amused eyebrow, a small smile playing on her lips. "Ah, so that's what's been on your mind."
She shifted slightly, launching into an explanation. "They are your childhood friends. The Marquess Raven has been a significant contributor to the military, donating vast sums annually in exchange for the Ludwig Dukedom's protection. Their estate falls under the jurisdiction of your family's domain. Over the years, this financial and territorial connection brought the two families closer. Both households often attended each other's celebrations.
"You first t Lady Alicia and Master Cedric when their family attended your fifth birthday celebration. Since they were the only children your age, you bonded quickly. From that point on, their visits beca regular, given their estate's proximity to ours."
She paused for a mont, smirking slightly. "And, over the years, Lady Alicia has grown quite fond of you. It's no secret she's fallen for your charm. There have even been discussions of an engagent between you two, though nothing has been made official."
"Oh, so you're saying Alicia likes ?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes," Lily affird with a nod.
"And Cedric knows about it?"
"Of course," she replied with a hint of amusent.
"And he doesn't mind?" I pressed.
Lily chuckled softly. "Why would he? You're the heir to a dukedom, young, handso, and powerful. Any brother would be thrilled for his sister to be courted by such a capable man. Cedric even encourages it."
At her words, a familiar voice echoed in my mind.
[Another prey caught in your web without effort. Talk about luck.]
'Not my doing,' I thought to myself, amused. 'But I won't refuse a treat.'
"Did you say sothing, Young Master?" Lily asked, tilting her head.
"No, just talking to myself," I replied casually.
The rest of the ride passed in silence, giving
ti to check my stats.

'My repertoire has certainly grown,' I mused, noting how my previously empty "Class" section now listed Swordsman, Mage, and Healer. Skills I'd picked up along the way filled out nicely.
The sight of over a million Eroge Points earned from my escapades made
chuckle. "All that fooling around with the palace maids sure paid off," I murmured under my breath.
But sothing in the "Harem" section caught my attention. Only Lily?
'Hm... Now that's confusing,' I thought, narrowing my eyes at the screen.
'Hey, Sol, I've slept with plenty of won, so why is Lily the only one showing in the Harem tab?' I asked, genuinely curious.
[Simple. Lily's affection for you runs deeper than re physical desire. The others? They were just satisfying their lust.]
'Huh, not even Lira and Lyra?' I thought, casting a quick glance toward the twins seated across from , their calm expressions betraying nothing.
[No. While their loyalty and respect for you are unquestionable, it hasn't crossed into the kind of affection that qualifies them for the Harem list.]
I smirked at that, leaning back into the plush seat. 'Guess they just need so "extra attention
