''Ah! I almost forgot, can you tell me Smith's store location?"
Alex suddenly asked this as he remembered Gracier saying Sera and her father left for the capital weeks before he wakes up.
''Commercial district. Fufufu! You wanted to go find your little lover just after declaring so passionately that you will never let me go. Are you looking down on me?"
Elseria put on a wronged expression, Alex was baffled, even if he knew she was joking he hadn't expected this kind of move.
Fortunately, his sister comes to his rescue.
''That's not it, Elseria, but I think big brother having a bunch of excellent women, women with limitless potential will make him worthy of you. That will prove that your man isn't a nobody, he is strong with stronger women beside him. Let's not forget that you'll be his Empress, all other women will be under you, isn't it a nice thing?"
Gracier spoke eloquently, delivering a speech that left one doubt if she was really a fourteen years old girl.
It was now Elseria's turn to be surprised, she opened and closed her mouth repeatedly not knowing how to respond. She had never expected Gracier to say such words.
Neither does Alex, he was gobsmacked.
Silveria was holding her mouth, already laughing to the point where her body was rocking back and forth, she repeatedly slapped the table in front of her.
''Pft- hahahaha, Alexandra is truly a genius, what eloquence. Well, what she said is not wrong either. Little Else, you should consider it, giving your full support. 'His Empress' she said. Pft- hahahaha.''
Gracier blushed hearing Silveria's words while Elseria's face kept twitching, Alex adopted an 'I'm air, do not mind me' attitude.
He was thinking that he must give Silveria an earful later because it was probably her who teach Gracier these kinds of things. Oh! How wrong he was.
After a moment, the atmosphere returned to normal, the three had chosen to act as if Gracier had not said such words.
After talking for a while, Alex decided that it was time for them to leave, Silveria disappeared, she returned to her world while Elseria summoned one of the previous maids.
''Mistress, did you need something?" The maid with Bob cut black hair and hazel eyes respectfully bowed when she came out of the teleportation circle.
''Anna, from now on those two will be your new master. Serve them to the best of your capabilities. Understood?" Elseria announced while pointing her finger at Alex and Gracier.
Alex did not say anything while Gracier was looking at Anna with interest.
''I understood. You wish is my command.'' Anna said before turning to face Alex and Gracier, she curtsied.
''Greetings, Young Master and Young mistress, Anna will be in your care from now, please take care of me.''
''Likewise,'' Alex said while Gracier smiled at Anna.
''Good, bring them to the Blue Haven Villa,'' Elseria ordered.
''Understood. Follow me young master, young mistress.'' Anna said before stepping into the teleportation circle. After exchanging one last glance with Elseria, Alex and Gracier stepped into the teleportation circle as well. Pouring her MP into the teleportation circle, the three disappeared leaving Elseria alone.
Leaning against her chair, Elseria let out a small chuckle,
''Fufufu, those two siblings are sure interesting. Doesn't matter if I'm the Empress of elves, even if it takes you thousand years you'll make me yours, huh?! That's sure some interesting words there. Both of them know how to talk. Fufufu! We'll see. In the meantime,''
Her expression turned cold all of sudden, flicking her fingers someone materialized not far from her, it was had to know this person's gender as this person was dressed in all black wearing a mask.
''You call?"
''Alpha, tell Zero to come back, I have a mission for her. Go take her place.'' Elseria ordered.
''Understood,'' Alpha responded before disappearing.
''Wanting to touch something which is mine? , they must have a death wish.'' Elseria said before closing her eyes, she started planning her next action.
•••••
Unaware of all this, Alex, Gracier with their maid Anna appeared inside a room.
Leaving the room they appeared outside.
Alex was awe-struck by the sight in front of him.
The villa was located on an oversized private estate that spanned at least a few kilometers.
The villa was a huge and beautiful blue. There was even a beautiful waterfall behind the villa and several elegant courtyards spread around the estate.
Alex felt like he had entered a different world.
The garden had a luscious plot of grass, which was flanked by neatly trimmed bushes. A greenhouse stood in the center of the garden, housing all sorts of fruits, vegetables, and more exotic flowers. The rows of flowers were forming a miniature world of their own, full of mysteries and wonder.
Gracier was pleased, she liked the surroundings and felt comfortable being surrounded by such greenery and beautiful scenery.
'This would our new home. I need to think Elseria later.' she thought.
Meanwhile, Anna was pleased to see her new masters' reactions. One should know that this villa was located in a quiet and luxurious area without any other buildings or villas around. Many nobles tried to buy it, however, they all failed in the end because it was a property owned by Elseria.
〖Little Else sure generous. It seems she hasn't spared any expenses to make your stay comfortable, as expected of your future Empress.〗Silveria said after observing the Blue Haven Villa.
'I don't own any empire nor I'm planning to. So, how in the world she would be my Empress?' Alex asked.
〖Fufufu! You'll know soon.〗Silveria said some incomprehensible words, Alex was too tired to think about it so he chose to focus on something else.
''Follow me, masters,'' Anna said and started walking toward the villa, Alex and Gracier followed behind.
Once inside they were greeted by a cool and cozy air that made them feel as if they were in the middle of an enlivening forest.
There were quite many rooms and one big main room with many facilities and furniture available. There was even a library room with various books and other reading facilities. Even a swimming pool.
Anna even told them that there was a training ground. After a quick visit, Alex saw the training seemed to have been built using sturdy and resilient materials.
After selecting each one their rooms, they went inside it. Anna had said four other maids and one butler will come to help her as just only her couldn't take care of this big Villa.
In the master bedroom chosen by Alex, there was a four-poster king-size bed with Hessian drapes, which gives an oriental and romantic feeling. There was a large designer sofa at the foot of the bed.
The substantial size bathroom was equipped with a 2 persons Jacuzzi. From the master bedroom, you could enjoy views over the northern side of the capital.
Entering the bath, Alex took a bath. Just after he changed into simple black pants and a blue shirt, Silveria suddenly appeared.
''What a nice bedroom. The bed is big enough for us to sleep in.'' Silveria who sat on the sofa leg crossed said.
''Scram, go select your room.'' Alex automatically stopped her, who knows what she was planning.
''Come on master, are you not happy to have such a beautiful lady willing to sleep beside you?"
Silveria asked with a smile, she was trying to act coquettishly.
''Peh! I feel shiver just by imagining it. Who knows what you are planning behind that evil smile of yours.''
''Sigh! Maybe the little brother down there is dead.'' Silveria said with a sigh, her sigh was filled with pity, she almost joined her hand in prayer.
Alex became furious, he had the impulse to slap her to death.
Seeing that her provocation was getting the desired effect, Silveria chose to push it a little.
''What? I'm wrong? If I'm wrong come prove it.''
Facing Silveria's words, Alex knew she was provoking him, he'd a fool if he were to fall for such an obvious trick.
''No need. Even if doesn't work it none of your concern.'' Alex said while laying on his bed, he closed his eyes lost in thoughts.
He had more or less guessed why Elseria lent him the jade box, there must be something extremely valuable inside it. He will need this thing in the incoming banquet as it was sure that someone would come to find trouble with him, challenge him, Alex being Alex, he wouldn't accept a challenge without getting anything in the return.
'I wonder what I'll get. I can't wait to see it. You want to offer me your riches, I'll gladly accept.'
He couldn't help but smile, his current smile was evil, the one he had when he robed Larry, Diaz, and his men clean. It was not like he wanted to act like some kind of MC from Wuxia's novel, face slapping everyone, beating every young master he'd see, but he will not stay silent and let an idiot do as he wishes. He ought to teach them a lesson or else they'll think that he was a soft persimmon that anyone could play with.
After teaching one a lifelong lesson, the others would think twice before making a move,
'You want to play? Fine, Be ready to lose something valuable. By the way, I don't play with the poor.'
