"Huh...? Your Highness Princess! What are you doing here? Sorry, I an, how may I help you?"
A good-looking girl who was casually reading an alchemy book on her desk noticed soone approaching her. With a sigh, she put down the book and looked up, but upon seeing the other party's familiar face, which bore so resemblance to her boss, she exclaid, but halfway through, noticing Sylphy's frown, she changed her words and asked with a smile.
"I wanted to see my brother. Please take us to his office?"
Sylphy, who was too lazy to deal with a puny receptionist girl spoke expressionlessly. She wasn't even in the mood to correct her, despite the receptionist addressing her with her forr title. From the entrance to the receptionist desk, more than a dozen people had greeted her with her ex-title, and she now becos numb from it.
"Ah, of course. Please follow , Your Highness." Although she doesn't understand why Sylphy ntioned us instead of , despite being alone, not daring to displease soone of Sylphy's calibre who could easily eat away her job with a few words, the receptionist girl led Sylphy to Lewis's office. She even took the initiative to shoo away a few random flies that wanted to greet Sylphy."
Knock-Knock!
As soon as the receptionist girl knocked, the door opened, revealing a middle-aged redhead beauty with big breasts and a voluptuous figure. Her questioning look vanished as soon as her eyes fell on Sylphy and a surprise replaced it. But didn't stay dazed for too long and gestured for the receptionist girl to go back before ushering Sylphy inside. This all transpired in seconds, with no words spoken.
Myne, who had beco invisible with his skills and trailing behind Sylphy the entire ti, was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that won would have this level of understanding between each other.
"Elsa, who was it? Please tell it wasn't soone with more paperwork. I'm drowning in it already! Are you trying to kill with workload? Also, why can't you sign them in my place? Don't you usually do it anyway," Lewis grumbled irritably.
He sat at a desk piled high with papers, signing them like a machine on overload without even reading, sweat dripping down his face like rain.
He hadn't expected that right after ntioning to his personal secretary that he was taking leave for a few weeks because of family reasons, his heartless secretary, whom he knew from childhood, would force him to stay behind and sign crucial docunts while he was still on duty as clan leader.
"So, this is how you manage your clan, huh? No wonder I always felt there was sothing wrong with how you usually behave and how your clan actually works. So, this is all thanks to Sister Elsa, who handles everything you're supposed to, while you amuse yourself in your creepy labs all day.
I will tell Mother about this, so she at least stops giving us your example of being successful," Sylphy, surprised at seeing the mountain of paper in front of Lewis, said jokingly to lighten his mood.
But unlike her, Myne wasn't as calm as her. After seeing the mountain of papers and Lewis, who was working his ass off with a tired face as if he might collapse at any mont, he was frightened to death. Instantly, thoughts of not running a clan entered his mind. Sadly, now it was too late for retreat, and even if he wanted to do it, his overpowering wives would never agree.
He also wanted to make a big clan so he could give his other wives a good ho where everyone could live peacefully with himself. So now he could only bite the bullet and continue on this plan, but he decided that he would give all authority of the clan to his wives so they could help him deal with paperwork, at least.
"Huh? Sylphy?!"
Lewis, who at first thought his ears heard wrong, and how could Sylphy co to him after she kicked him out of her house in anger and forbidding him from ever seeing her again, but still out of hope, he pushed aside a few hundred papers in front of him and peeked out.
When he saw a girl with familiar armour and golden hair, who was 99% similar to his sister in his mory, he jolted up in shock, and couldn't help but exclaim.
Then, like Aniue, he also ran out from behind his desk and engulfed Sylphy in a bear hug.
"Sob, so emotional! This level of genuine love between siblings is really very rare nowadays" Myne, who was standing beside Elsa, couldn't help but speak out subconsciously forgetting that he hiding from everyone while wiping nonexistent tears from his eyes.
However, his move shocked Elsa. She clearly rembered that no one was standing beside her. She hurriedly turned her head, but seeing nothing, she couldn't help but doubt whether she misheard and was overthinking it. But still, as a person who has the responsibility of an entire clan on her shoulders, she didn't dare to lower her guard.
She took out a palm-sized device that resembled a compass, opened its lid, and pressed the button on its right side.
The compass-like device started sending out invisible ripples, and soon, four red dots appeared on its screen. Two were in the middle of the room, while two were near the door, right next to each other.
"What a wonderful device! It can actually locate people who turn invisible. It probably works on a similar principle as my Presence Detect skill, right? Whoever made it was a genius!
At least with this, people don't have to worry about soone sneak attacking or standing right next to you while being invisible," Myne said playfully, leaning on Elsa's back with his The Lightning Edge dagger pressed against Elsa's neck. He looked at the magical device in her hand with full admiration.
"Who are you and what do you want?! Don't even think you can blackmail Your Highness Lewis just because you have hostage! Even if I have to lose my life, I will never let you take advantage of him," Elsa spoke in a low voice, that only Myne could hear. Her eyes were full of determination as if she were truly willing to sacrifice her life if Myne dared to do sothing to Lewis.
Elsa's strong words left Myne speechless. This level of loyalty was completely unheard of by him. After all, as far as he knew, Elsa was just Lewis's personal maid when he was little. He later realized she had amazing talent in managent, so he taught her everything and dumped all his clan work on her while he spent most of his ti in the lab.
It's reasonable that she would be moved by Lewis's blind trust in her, but even willing to die for him just because he gave her an opportunity to rise? This was sothing Myne couldn't easily digest.

[Soul Companion (Exclusive Title)]
A title earned by the host after making up their mind and vowing to give their everything to a certain person. That person becos the sole motivation for the host's entire life, and they would sacrifice their own life without hesitation for that person's sake.
Title effects: 1. Trust between both parties increases to the maximum.
2. They can understand each other's emotions and feel extrely comfortable being together.
3. ??? ( Unlocked when the last barrier between both parties is broken and they confess their true feelings for each other. )
Hmm, so this is the source of their mysterious bond, huh? But it seems like their relationship hasn't progressed beyond close friends. It's probably because my idiot brother-in-law only knows how to smash his empty head into weird things, instead of looking around himself carefully.
Otherwise, even a blind person could see that the way Elsa treats and does things for him is clearly more than what a close friend should do. Sigh, if Elsa doesn't take the initiative to disclose her love, she'll only suffer silently and one day she will surely lose this idiot.
After all, Lewis is a prince. How long can he stay single? It's only a matter of ti before he's forced to get married, like Sylphy. And if we follow the usual script of novels, then there's a high chance that Elsa, in fear of getting rejected and losing Lewis, would only suffer in her heart and would never muster the courage to take the final step, while watching her love snatching by soone else.
Sigh, it seems like I have to talk to my mother-in-law. Otherwise, such a good woman would only suffer silently in front of , which is completely against my morals. Also, if I help my future sister-in-law, who manages the entire clan, to get her love when she desperately needs it, then won't she help her little brother-in-law as well to take care of his clan?
Now this is called killing multiple birds with one stone, I am really a genius, Thinking such Myne's eyes brightened as he imdiately added this matter to his "Must To-Do" list before casting a quick glance at Elsa's skills, while Sylphy and Lewis remained imrsed in their family drama.
