The Knight Training To, as the na suggests, is a guide to the practices necessary to beco a knight.
The to Leo asked Lilith to retrieve is a special one, passed down through the Lionara royal lineage and improved upon by many great knights.
Known as the Lionara Knight Training To, it is fad for its superior and accelerated training thods.
In this world, safety is not a guarantee.
While humans occupy most of the world, they do not rule it entirely.
Places like the Infernal Marsh, rumored to be inhabited by demons in its deepest parts, are a testant to this.
These demons, varied in form and brutally savage, are said to relish in consuming humans.
Then there’s the Dragon Lair, beyond the mountain ranges in the northernmost part of the kingdom.
Countless dragons reside there, each wielding potent magic and possessing strength far beyond that of ordinary beings.
Mature dragons are even capable of destroying entire kingdoms.
Other mysterious realms include the Moon Lake and the Star Spirit Sea, inhabited by unknown races and considered forbidden territories for humans.
Compared to these inherently gifted races, humans have their own advantage — intelligence.
Throughout their vast history, many geniuses have erged among humans.
Observing the stars, comprehending the mysteries of nature, studying the differences between various creatures, they eventually formulated two major systems of cultivation.
The first is that of the magus.
Becoming a magus requires an innate talent for magical practice, utilizing the abundant magical energy of the world to cast spells, synonymous with power.
The second is that of the knight.
For those without magic talent, becoming a knight is the only option.
The journey to knighthood, though influenced by natural aptitude, hinges largely on rigorous training.
Persistence invariably leads to notable progress.
To beco a knight of extraordinary strength requires imnse ti and financial investnt, a rarity since the establishnt of Lionara.
In Leo’s bedroom, upon hearing his command, Lilith, though puzzled, retrieved the book.
Monts later, she returned, placing the dust-covered to before Leo.
He instructed again, "Open it and read the contents for ."
In both his past and present life, Leo had never practiced the Knight Training To.
In his previous life, after encountering hell magic and driven by his own madness, Leo abandoned his human form, transforming into a Hell Lord’s body.
Such a formidable physique, rare even in the hellish realms, was second only to the Demon King.
In this life, however, Leo did not plan to take the sa path.
Although the human body lacked the raw power of a Hell Lord’s, its potential for growth was significant.
Yet, Lilith hesitated.
The Knight Training To was exceedingly precious.
Despite his brutal and outrageous behavior, Leo Vickery’s status as the third prince of Lionara granted him access to this to.
But for her, a re slave, it was unthinkable.
"I cannot look through it, Your Highness," Lilith refused.
Leo smiled and issued another command: "Lilith, this is an order. And from today, not only will I practice the Knight Training To, but you will as well."
This left Lilith stunned.
She was to practice too?
This wasn’t just any to, but the highly coveted Lionara Knight Training To, exclusive to the royal family.
And now, the prince was extending this privilege to her, a gesture that threw her into confusion.
Though she had resented Leo for forcing her father to sell her to him as a slave, her ti with him had made her question the rumors of his cruelty.
He seed more like soone reacting to a lack of affection.
But Leo’s next words shattered any illusions she might have had, fueling her anger anew.
"Lilith, you must train well. I’ve heard in the royal city that the taste of a female knight is quite delightful."
He spoke with a laugh, his eyes brazenly scanning her form.
Lilith clenched her fists in anger, sighing inwardly before unclenching and opening the dust-covered Lionara Knight Training To.
She read aloud, morizing the contents for herself.
"One day, I will repay you for this humiliation," she vowed silently.
A flicker of triumph passed through Leo’s eyes; this was precisely the effect he desired.
He planned to test more wishes on Lilith.
After all, an enemy who was also his own and incapable of resistance was a rarity, making her an excellent subject for experintation.
The Lionara Knight Training To detailed nurous practices and precautions for training from an apprentice knight to a high-ranking knight.
By the ti Lilith finished reading, an hour had passed, and Leo was already snoring.
"Your Highness..." Lilith called softly, waking Leo up.
"Finished?" he asked.
Lilith nodded, then couldn’t help but advise, "Your Highness, if you’re to undertake knight training, it’s best to maintain a good daily routine. "
"And knight training consus a lot of resources. Considering Stoneton is your only source of inco, about Prince Rain..."
She didn’t finish her sentence, but Leo understood the implication.
He pulled the maid into his embrace, whispering in her ear, "Lilith, do you think I’m wrong?"
"Everyone praises Rain as a wise and capable man."
"If he ascends to the throne, Lionara will beco even stronger."
"Do you believe that too, Lilith?"
Lilith, unsure how to respond, could only deny, "Your Highness, I don’t."
Leo’s hand caressed Lilith’s smooth cheek, turning her face towards him.
With a nonchalant tone, he said, "Lilith, face your true feelings. I know you’ve always had a soft spot for Rain. But you must understand, you are now just my slave, my possession!"
"Watch, and you will see Rain’s agony. His screams will awaken you in the depths of the night, his soul enduring endless tornt..."
Leo’s words made Lilith tremble.
In this mont, she truly saw the madness hidden deep within Leo’s heart.
He was a devil!
"Your Highness, I don’t understand why you are doing this?" Lilith asked, suppressing her fear.
"Why?" Leo replied softly, laughing, pressing her against the table.
Their eyes were rely a finger’s width apart.
He could clearly see the panic, anger, and grievance in Lilith’s eyes.
Oh, what a pitiful little lamb.
Releasing Lilith, he pulled her up and said, "Because I enjoy it."
"Lilith, how about we make a bet?" Leo continued.
Still recovering from her shock, Lilith asked reflexively, "What bet?"
"Rain, in his anger, drew his sword against but failed, even kneeling before . Given his character, he will surely be furious and seek revenge by all ans. Of course, you play a part in this."
"However, I am certain that tomorrow he will enter the town very politely, even paying a hefty sum of gold coins."
Leo was utterly confident.
Lilith was skeptical.
Having encountered Rain several tis since becoming Leo’s maid, she was acutely aware of the deep hatred between Rain and Leo.
It was an irreconcilable enmity, unlikely to lead to a cordial conversation.
The most important aspect was the wager Leo offered, sothing she couldn’t refuse.
"If you win, I promise you your freedom."
That was Leo’s stake.
Lilith agreed, asking with a hint of worry, "And what is my stake in this bet?"
Leo chuckled, whispering a few words into Lilith’s ear.
After he spoke, Lilith’s face turned a deep shade of red, resembling a ripe apple.
Overco with embarrassnt, she quickly fled from Leo’s bedroom.
"Such easy prey, but if it were Anna, perhaps I’d be the one played," Leo murmured, reminiscing about a person from his past life.
Then, as if struck by a thought, he mused aloud, "Anna is trapped sowhere now, isn’t she? If I could find her early, maybe I could capture so of her less flattering monts..."
However, this was just a fleeting thought; Leo hadn’t ford a concrete plan yet.
His gaze returned to the open Knight Training To.
Now was the ti to test a theory he had in mind.
