Inside Ian’s room at the Duke’s Mansion.
Due to overusing Yeyue’s Divine Power, Ian had to lie in bed for another two or three days.
“I…Elise, don’t do this.”
Ian closed his eyes, a plea escaping his lips.
Suddenly, Ian shot up, sitting upright.
Huff, huff.
Ian gasped for air, looking at the familiar surroundings, only then realizing he was back in his own room.
‘Why does this feeling feel so familiar?’
‘This seems to be the third time I’ve fainted since I transmigrated, right?’
Recalling his days since arriving on the Faloran Continent, Ian couldn’t help but sigh.
‘I’ve been here less than a month and already fainted three times. So this is the villain’s luck after all?’
Shaking his head, Ian continued thinking.
‘It must have been Elise and Aetherinra who brought me back, right?’
Thinking back to the scene before he passed out, Ian couldn’t help but remark inwardly.
‘As expected, a deity’s power isn’t so easy to use!’
Just a single strike, and his current body couldn’t handle it.
After all, after drinking the Physical Enhancement Potion, Ian’s physical condition had reached the level of a Third-rank Mage.
Yet he still couldn’t use Yeyue’s power freely.
Ian estimated that not until he reached the 7th-tier Mage could he possibly use a bit of Yeyue’s power without side effects.
That was still too far off for him at present.
“You’re finally awake?”
Suddenly, Yeyue’s figure appeared before Ian, speaking to him.
“Did you know? Why do you talk in your sleep so much?”
“Did I say something?”
Hearing Yeyue’s words, Ian was slightly dazed.
“You kept saying things like ‘no,’ ‘this isn’t right,’ I don’t know what you were dreaming about.”
Yeyue shrugged at Ian.
Hearing Yeyue’s words, Ian finally remembered what he had dreamed.
He seemed to have dreamed that Elise was on top of him, forcing him to do some unspeakable things.
Thinking of that, Ian instantly blushed. What kind of dream was he having?
How could Elise ever do something like that?
Not to mention their normal master-servant relationship, there was no way Ian would let Elise get on top of him!
“What’s wrong? Did you have an erotic dream?”
“No, not at all.”
Ian refuted vehemently.
“But, didn’t you say you were going to enjoy yourself? Why are you still by my side?”
Afraid Yeyue would bring up his dream again, Ian decisively changed the subject.
“Do you think I didn’t enjoy? I just came back after enjoying myself.”
Thinking of the delicious food these past days, Yeyue’s mouth couldn’t help but water.
In the Divine Realm, because deities don’t need to eat, there was no good food there.
And Yeyue happened to be someone who absolutely loved good food, so the moment she returned to the Faloran Continent, she eagerly went to eat.
“Enjoyed yourself? How many days was I unconscious?”
Ian caught the information in Yeyue’s words and asked her.
Pinching her fingers, Yeyue counted.
“Hmm, about a week or so?”
“What? I was out that long?”
Upon hearing Yeyue’s words, Ian shot up.
“Where are you going?”
Yeyue watched Ian stand up and change clothes, asking.
“I need to let Father and the others know I’m okay. I’ve been unconscious for a week; they might be worried sick.”
“Reporting you’re safe?”
Yeyue heard Ian’s words and thought for a moment.
“What is it?”
Hearing the doubtful tone in Yeyue’s voice, Ian asked.
“Nothing, it’s just that they might be a bit busy right now.”
“What, they’re busy?”
Ian was puzzled.
What was inconvenient about telling his father and Elise not to worry?
“Because your father and the others seem to be discussing something with someone.”
“It’s normal for them to discuss things.”
Ian knew that Deere, as the Imperial Duke and the Wall of the Empire on the front lines, was extremely busy with official duties.
So when he heard Yeyue say Deere was discussing something with someone, Ian didn’t think much of it.
“I think the discussion I’m talking about is different from what you think.”
“How is it different?”
Hearing Yeyue’s words, Ian retorted.
“Go see for yourself.”
Yeyue didn’t answer Ian further and instead returned to his Mental Realm.
Due to the suppression of the Faloran Continent’s World Will, Yeyue’s body couldn’t stay outside for long either.
‘Why does Yeyue seem a bit strange?’
‘Forget it, don’t overthink it. Most likely Yeyue is just not used to being back on the Faloran Continent.’
Ian thought it over and decided not to dwell on it.
He tidied himself up and walked out of the room.
But as soon as he stepped out, he noticed a group of maids gathered together talking.
Seeing Ian come out of his room, they quickly shut their mouths.
“Young Master, you’re finally awake! Quickly, tell the Lord.”
The lead maid said excitedly upon seeing Ian emerge.
“No need, I’m going to see Father right now.”
Ian waved his hand, rejecting the maid’s suggestion.
With that, Ian turned to leave, but as he was about to go, he noticed that the maids seemed to have something to say but were holding back, afraid to speak.
“Is there something you want to say?”
Ian asked with mild interest.
To improve his former image as a villainous young master, it was necessary to help resolve the servants’ troubles.
With that in mind, he inquired.
“Well, Young Master, you’ve been unconscious these past few days, so you might not know that a major event occurred in the Duke’s Mansion.”
The lead maid said with a troubled expression.
“What major event?”
Ian asked, puzzled.
Had something major happened during his unconsciousness?
“It’s like this, Young Master. While you were unconscious, Count Raymond’s Family submitted a marriage proposal to the Duke’s Mansion.”
“A marriage proposal? Who and who?”
Ian raised an eyebrow.
This was clearly unexpected.
“It’s between the eldest son of Count Raymond’s Family and Lady Aetherinra.”
“What?”
Hearing the maid’s words, Ian was shocked.
He recalled in his mind.
Wasn’t the eldest son of Count Raymond’s Family that cross-dressing pervert he met in the city before?
“Didn’t the Duke’s Mansion reject this proposal before? Why are they here again?”
Ian asked the maids in front of him.
In his memory, Deere had already rejected Count Raymond’s Family’s marriage proposal.
