Malice

A month later, Lionheart King announced that the Seven Sages of Destruction of the Demons Clan Macht, and the Greater Demons Solitär, had officially become residents of the Unified Kingdom. To prevent them from harming the residents, the Royal Family would place Subjugation Collars on them, preventing them from harming humans on their own initiative. Only if humans attacked them could they take action against the attackers.

In front of all the residents of the Royal Capital, Li Yan, wearing Golden Mask, placed the Subjugation Collar around the necks of Solitär and Macht.

Two months later, in front of a large number of residents, Macht and Solitär slaughtered one by one the Demons imprisoned in the jail.

The residents of the Royal Capital have begun to accept Macht and Solitär's identities, and they no longer avoid them in fear when they meet them on the street.

To give Solitär and Macht some prestige in the Royal Capital, Li Yan specially arranged a second act: the Demons broke out of prison and attacked the residents, and Solitär and Macht descended as saviors to protect the safety of the Royal Capital's inhabitants.

The plan went smoothly. The escaped Demons were divided into two groups. One group was mercilessly pierced to death Sword-Control Magic Solitär in front of many residents before they could cause any destruction or killing. On the other side, Macht's Diagoldze also successfully turned the other escaped Demons into gold, saving the residents who were almost killed.

After this performance, the residents of the Royal Capital completely accepted the existence of Solitär and Macht. Some even became so Solitär fans that they were captivated by Solitär and Macht's looks and charisma Macht they promoted them extensively throughout the Royal Capital.

"Has the Lionheart King lost his mind? He actually trusts even Demons, including the Seven Sages of Destruction of the Demon King's Army and the Greater Demons."

"This generation of Lionheart King is finished. Gentlemen, our opportunity has arrived."

"I think we should reconsider carefully. The Royal Capital now has two more experts at the Seven Sages of Destruction level."

Many Nobles sat in the meeting room discussing the current situation. Most of them opposed challenging the Lionheart King, knowing that the Lionheart Legion currently had ten First-Class Mages, each a genius in their respective fields. Their teacher was the president of the Magic Continent Association, the strongest archmage, Serie. Given Serie's attitude towards the Royal Family, they had no hope.

"Seriously, what kind of Nobles are you bunch of cowards? This world is all about fighting. What are First-Class Mages, what is Serie, the president of the Magic Continent Association? What is Lionheart King? He became King entirely because of his ancestors."

"If the Demons hadn't killed the Royal Family, what right would Lionheart King have to be king?"

A Noble with a mustache, dressed in luxurious clothes, left the meeting room cursing, leaving the other Nobles looking at each other in bewilderment.

As the second and third Nobles left, the others also gradually departed. One Noble, dressed in a rose-patterned gown, sighed softly. They were all paper tigers. Couldn't they have really fought it out? He was tired of being an undercover agent.

The mustachioed Noble was the first to leave boarded Mana Battle Car, which slowly drove towards his territory. The driver of the Mana Battle Car spoke slowly, "My lord, how was today's outcome? Are there any Nobles with rebellious intentions?"

"It will take some time. These paper tigers will be hard to catch without some prompting." The Noble with the mustache recorded the notes of the most vocal Nobles at the meeting with a blank expression.

The driver slowly revealed a smile, "Sir, the fish will always take the bait. Even Lionheart King has rebelled; these beastly Nobles should all be hanged."

In the 750th year of the Unified Kingdom, the Mana Airship was invented, and human transportation gradually evolved. In this era before Flight Magic was even developed, the Mana Airship became the preferred mode of transportation for all magicians.

"Senior brother, I've finally mastered the Curse Reversal Magic!"

Frieren ran excitedly into Li Yan's room. Looking at Li Yan, who was pretending to be looking at Magic Tome but actually using them as a way to block out the sunlight while sleeping, she couldn't help but puff out her cheeks and gently pinch the soft flesh of Li Yan's waist.

"Hiss..."

Feeling the soreness in his lower back, Li Yan woke up from his sleep. Looking at Frieren, who was staring at him with her puffed-out cheeks, he blinked in confusion.

"What's wrong, Junior Sister?"

Frieren waved her hand, and the Curse Reversal Magic covering her body activated. Li Yan's eyes widened, and a smile appeared on his face. "As expected of my Junior Sister, her magical talent is unparalleled, the world's number one magical genius. Not only is she cute and charming, but she also possesses immense personal charisma."

Li Yan spared no praise, making Frieren overjoyed. Her eyes narrowed into slits, and she tugged at Li Yan's sleeve as if wanting to pat his head.

Looking at the childlike Frieren, Li Yan gently reached out his large hand and placed it on Frieren's head, stroking it lightly like petting a small dog.

"Hmm, I want to go out and play."

In a good mood, Frieren clinked her two fingers together; it had been a long time since she had strolled around the Royal Capital with Li Yan.

Looking at Frieren, who was dressed in a white mage's robe with gold trim and black stockings, Li Yan nodded gently, "It's time to go out and buy a nice outfit."

Upon hearing her senior brother's agreement, Frieren was overjoyed. Her porcelain-white little hand grasped Li Yan's big hand. She had been looking forward to shopping with her senior brother for a long time, enjoying delicious food, beautiful clothes, and magical items. "I'm bringing my rich and handsome guy to rob you all!"

Seeing Frieren's excited expression, Li Yan also smiled. After staying at home for so many years researching magic and mechanics, sometimes it's time to go out and have some fun.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Xue, you two keep a close eye on the house. Don't let Solitär into my room; she always makes it a complete mess."

Li Yan glanced at Solitär, who was already sprawled on the sofa, lazily taking a nap, and gave her instructions softly.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Xue nodded gently, their eyes filled with joy. After seeing Li Yan walk a short distance away, they exchanged a glance, covered their mouths, and giggled, "Young Master finally took Lady Frieren on a date."

"Butler Macht, keep up the good work today!"

Li Yan smiled and waved goodbye to Frieren and Macht were extremely busy these days. In the morning, he had to tutor the Royal Family children in magic, in the afternoon he was pulled into the Mechanical Ordnance Factory to serve as a material machine, and in the evening he had to do all sorts of chores as a butler.

"Young Master, I have sensed your malice."

Macht gave a wry smile. Ever since he put on the Subjugation Collar, he had been busy with work every day. Although he sometimes had free time to rest and travel to human towns, he always had more working time than leisure time. After finishing work each day, he would be asked by Li Yan if he had felt his malice.

At first, Macht didn't understand what Li Yan meant. But when he discovered that Li Yan would always assign him a lot of things after he had finished his work, he slowly began to understand what malice was.

Even if his work talent is SSS, he can't withstand a full day's work. Wearing the Subjugation Collar, he's no different from a slave.

He felt the malice... He wondered if Li Yan felt any guilt. A ruthless boss like him probably wouldn't feel guilt.
