***
Their country is called Ravenheim, and its full na is "The Magical Kingdom of Ravenheim." In this country, witches and warlocks reside, who, through experints, have beco powerful in magic but, in exchange, lost their freedom, becoming slaves to the witches.
If anyone has the desire to visit this unusual country, their chances are nil. The Kingdom of Ravenheim is located in a different dinsion and hidden from ordinary beings.
The Witch Hunt. A mont in history when all races hunted witches, who miraculously altered their genetics to achieve an ideal lineage for magic. But the price they paid for this was too great.
Millions of beings from different races were killed – elves, beastn, demons, nymphs, fairies, sirens, vampires, werewolves, gnos...
The world was ablaze with fury, and the alliance of different races against the witches was the first incident in the history of the world. As a result, more than ten thousand witches perished, and the remaining five thousand disappeared, vanishing forever.
Only a hundred years ago, a trace of the witches was discovered after a schism fifty years into its existence.
Ultimately, the heir Prince Richard started a war against forr when one of the human kings encountered a group of strangely dressed won who, in the blink of an eye, annihilated his army and took away the bodies of the fallen knights.
The king lost his sanity and eventually destroyed his own country, dying at the hands of his son, who was the heir prince. By the way, this prince, nad Richard, later founded the Kingdom of Humans, after a schism fifty years into its existence.
Ultimately, the heir Prince Richard started a war against forr allies and shed much blood, establishing the Kingdom of Avalonia in honor of his grandfather – Avalon.
Regardless, the witches were dangerous beings, and who knows what they were capable of. Adam sighed and shook his head, saying, "Either way, I'll buy her."
Adam tossed a Platinum Dragon Stone onto the table, making a resounding noise that startled Yorin. Bowing his head and falling to his knees, Yorin thanked him profusely.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Ignoring his adoration and sycophancy, Adam stood up and looked at Ekaterina, whose intense gaze, filled with hatred, made him smile.
"Let's go. Now you're mine." Adam turned around and headed for the exit.
Ekaterina winced in disgust but was forced to follow Adam due to the magical brand that forbids disobedience to the owner.
Leaving the store, Adam instantly drew attention. It wasn't just because of his handso appearance but also the accompanying woman, whose beauty was worth entire kingdoms and could lead to a global war.
Whispers and accidental glances – Adam was long accustod to it, so he waved his hand to Ekaterina without looking at her and led the way to an expensive restaurant.
The entrance was adorned with greenery and vegetation, and the overall style of the building was inspired by the restaurants of Adam's past life, which he successfully implented in his city. Thanks to this unique design and new dishes, wealthy people flocked here daily, and finding a free table was challenging.
Of course, that applied only to those without status. Adam, who effectively owned the restaurant and the city, could get a table anyti.
"Welco!" The lively and energetic voice of a young man dressed in a classic suit with white gloves greeted the guests. He politely bowed to them.
"A table for two." Adam didn't bother with pleasantries and directly ordered, causing the young man to wince but quickly hide his displeasure.
With a smile on his face, the young man bowed again and led them to an available table.
Approaching the table, Adam pulled out one of the chairs and looked at Ekaterina, who looked puzzled in response. Adam sighed and explained, "Sit."
"Eh?" Ekaterina tilted her head but obeyed Adam's order and sat down with his polite help. This scene seed sowhat surprising to other guests, who thought that Adam not only brought a servant to an expensive restaurant but was also serving her as if she were a lady.
However, contrary to the n's thoughts, the won were touched by his gentlemanly manners and smiled brightly, making their partners grind their teeth in irritation.
Not paying attention to the hostile gazes from the guests, Adam took the nu and saw a plethora of dishes with unfamiliar nas. He simply ordered what he knew and left the rest to the restaurant owners.
"Ekaterina, order whatever you want." Adam handed her the nu and leaned back in his chair, stretching.
"M-?" Ekaterina was surprised but then nervously took the nu in her hands, quickly scanning through all the dishes.
Although Adam found her behavior sowhat charming, he still wanted a drink, so he waved his hand, summoning the waiter.
"A bottle of fine wine. Any kind as long as it tastes good and is worth the money." Adam yawned and looked at Ekaterina. "Have you decided?"
"Y-Yes!" Ekaterina flinched and turned to the waiter, monotonously reciting her order: "Spring interpretation of grapefruit and green peas, sea scallops with green tangerine sauce, pine nuts, and blue radish, olet with grilled cauliflower...".
Adam smiled, observing the waiter sweating with each passing second, hurriedly jotting down Ekaterina's order, which seed never-ending.
And did he do anything to stop it? No. He enjoyed Ekaterina's decisive yet adorable expression as she ordered new dishes. And since he liked her, Adam was willing to indulge her.
"Trout with green asparagus, olives, green tomatoes, and forest sauce, and a langoustine cooked in its shell with ginger broth..." Ekaterina finished speaking, causing the waiter to sigh with relief.
"A-Alright! Thank you for the order; everything will be in the best condition!" The waiter's walk was calm, but it was evident that he was rushing away, as if escaping from this predatory and hungry lioness who seed to have realized her actions and gasped, covering her face with her hands, blushing.
"Everything is fine. This restaurant is just a cheap place for food with decent taste, as far as I'm concerned." Adam stretched and cracked his knuckles, smiling at Ekaterina. "And, as I can see, you're accustod to handling such large orders?"
"Uh, well, yes." Ekaterina placed her hands on her knees and turned away, answering him softly and almost in a whisper, "My mother often took to expensive restaurants..."
As soon as she realized her words, she covered her mouth and acted as if she hadn't said anything. Adam didn't want to press her, and, in truth, he wasn't interested in her past.
"Her mother... wasn't she raised from infancy?" Adam pondered but didn't show it.
Fortunately, the waiter arrived with a bottle of wine and two glasses, relieving the awkward silence.
"Sir, this wine is called 'Dragon's Breath,' with bright red hues, a pleasant spiciness, and a deep flavor. Ordinary people, after drinking this wine, have a slight chance of embarking on the path of evolution, but that chance is extrely small." The waiter smiled elegantly as he poured the wine into the glasses. "I'm sure that a respected gentleman like yourself will be able to fully appreciate the whole spectrum of this wonderful wine's taste."
"Oh? Then I must try it." Adam shrugged and waved his hand, signaling the waiter to leave.
Finally, it was ti to talk to Ekaterina properly. Taking the glass in his hand, swirling the wine inside to mix it, and enjoying the vibrant colors and unique flavor, Adam placed the glass with a gentle thud.
"Let's start with the fact that I don't care about your past, your connections, where you lived, the conditions you were born in, or anything of the sort. From today, you're my servant, and I'll treat you just like everyone else." He smiled, placing his hand over hers, gently caressing her delicate and fair fingers. "I'll give you a family and a ho, and you'll be obligated to serve faithfully and truthfully."
Ekaterina lowered her head, lost in thought, then raised her eyes. "I never had a choice anyway. As your servant... I'm ready to fulfill all of my Master's wishes."
Adam smiled at her, raising his glass and extending it towards Ekaterina, who, albeit belatedly, also raised her glass, and they clinked them together.

Entering through the main gates of his estate, Adam felt the presence of another person, and a beautiful elf erged to et him. Her ample bosom swayed as she ran, and her lush blonde hair seed to levitate in the air.
"Ada-... Sir!" Elara approached him, smiling. "It's been a while. I've been dealing with so issues in the city, but upon hearing about your arrival, I wanted to welco you."
Adam smiled at her, grabbing her waist and pulling her close, burying his nose in her voluminous hair and inhaling the floral scent.
"Long ti no see... I have a favor to ask you, my dear. I need to conduct so tests for my new chambermaid."
Elara flinched, feeling his strong and masculine hands on her hips, and exhaled seductively near Adam's right ear, smiling like a cunning little fox.
"Of course." She shifted her gaze and saw a beautiful woman with black hair and dark green eyes, dressed in a maid's uniform. Reluctantly, Elara slipped out of Adam's embrace and approached the woman, smiling and extending her hand. "My na is Elara. I usually deal with quality control of goods and enforcing public norms in the city. It's a pleasure to et you."
Ekaterina forced a fake smile, shaking her hand, and her entire deanor suddenly changed. From a sowhat inexperienced and easily flustered woman, she transford into a confident and decisive individual.
Adam didn't comnt on it and simply watched with a smile as the two won discussed conducting the tests, while he turned around and prepared to leave.
Snatch.
The sound of fabric against fabric made Adam turn back, feeling warmth on his hand, and then he saw a beautiful and enchanting woman, whose beauty was unmatched by anything else.
Locking eyes with her green gaze, the depth and beauty of which seed to draw him in, Adam was montarily stunned for a few seconds.
"Please, don't leave ..."
Her sudden determination and seriousness, along with her indifference to everything else, disappeared. Elara was surprised to see the serious and intelligent lady turn into a helpless girl, burying her face in Adam's chest, seeking comfort.
Not knowing what to do, Adam embraced her from behind and, with a smile, signaled Elara to quickly prepare the tests so that he could finish the day and allow Ekaterina to rest.
Caressing her silky black hair as his hand gently rested on her waist, Adam could only smile as he watched the woman hide her face in his embrace.
