In the group of stunned individuals who had just been forced to bee hostages, there was one who seemed as if he had expected it, but was still extremely dazed about what was going on.
As Percy felt the poison that he had knowingly ingested take effect and force him to his knees, he kept a close eye on the woman who had just entered the room, whose face had begun to permeate with shock.
This morning, he had definitely not woken up thinking that his day would involve being under the control of one of the most dangerous individuals on the continent.
In fact, it had all started so…innocently.
Eloise was one of the sovereigns who had had the most effect on him during the actions he had taken in the absence of the King, mainly because he had seen the way she had been able to rally herself the moment she had found out that everything that she had been told was wrong, was true.
It took a special kind of devotion to be able to believe in something even when the entire world was against you, and such a thing… Had to be admired.
When he had seen the intimate moments between the King and Eloise, he had also felt happy for his elder disciple brother to whom he owed his life, and so, when he had been contacted by her, he had responded instantly.
She had asked casually whether he was free for "a small task" which would take around a day, and after checking his schedule and seeing that he could easily hand over his training to others, he had said happily that he was at her bidding.
When he arrived near the Goddess's Sanctum, he had met four women, two of whom had been very sullen, and had not spoken a word.
Of course, he knew both of them: one was the reason behind them knowing that one of the strongest Heroes whom they had thought to be on their side was actually a traitor, whereas the other was the strongest disciple that that traitor, and who was currently the head of the sect that they were just a few kilometers away from.
He had no idea why they seemed angry, but deciding to not ask unless it became his business, Percy had looked over to Eloise, who had pointed to the other woman in the room and said, "Do you mind being seduced by her?"
pletely taken aback, he had turned in the direction of the woman, only to find a very stunning individual who even winked at him and pointed a finger, as if inviting him into a world of pleasure that he honestly missed as the continent was not in a state where he could go off gallivanting in the village behind the Sect of Hedon.
"I see that the spell is working- it should have no problem taking effect on those other spoiled brats, too. Don't worry - you were supposed to be attracted to her. This is the task: just relax and enjoy. She has been told about you, and she's in awe of everything you've done for the continent. Why don't you regale her about your deeds of valor, while awaiting my instructions?"
Percy had been able to break out of the spell cast on his mind by the pumping blood in his body when he heard Eloise speak, and then, he had even felt ashamed, as he had acted in this way in front of someone he respected.
However, finding out that it was an enchantment, he felt much better, but after hearing the entire request, he could not help but stammer and ask, "A-are you sure? Is that really the task?"
A half-smile came on Eloise's face as she heard this, and that, itself, should have set the warning bells ringing in his mind.
However, when he heard her say, "Yup, but there might be a few more things to take care of before the day is done - like I said, standby for my instructions,
