10x Rewards: Conquering Women and Taming Beauties

Lydia and I went for a few more rounds before she collapsed onto my body, exhausted and unable to take anymore.

She pulled a strand of her hair to the side, her forehead sleek with sweat, and her naked body glistening with her juices and my cum.

A gentle smile tugged at the corner of her lips as she stared into my eyes.

Through the flickering notification from the system, I understood that her affection had increased to 70 percent.

She ran circles on my chest, resting her head lightly as she inhaled and exhaled, trying to take in my scent.

"Young... master..." Lydia suddenly said.

"Yes?" I raised a brow silently.

"I really missed you..." her words trailed off...

I didn’t know whether she was saying this because she missed the sex or genuinely missed me, but I was still touched by her words.

"I missed you too..." I said smoothly, gently running a hand through her hair.

Lydia let out a long breath she didn’t know she was holding.

Following that, she asked about my journey to complete the mission.

A slightly embarrassed expression appeared on my face, and for a moment Lydia felt the rhythm of my heartbeat, which she was leaning on, shift slightly.

However, I quickly composed myself and acted as though nothing had happened.

"It was fine..." I explained how I’d asked around, killed a few cursed creatures, and ultimately learned that she was inside the cursed gate which had recently formed.

Following that, I told her how I went on to clear the gate while omitting events pertaining to Vale and Sophie, along with my other encounters.

"Thanks to you, I was able to finally overcome the trials inside the cursed gate," I said.

"How’s that, master?" Lydia asked, puzzled. Although she was touched by my words, she was also confused as to why I’d said she was one of the reasons I was able to clear the gate.

"Didn’t you master a new lightning technique?" I asked, a teasing smile forming on my lips.

Instantly, Lydia’s eyes widened in shock. She raised her head to stare at me, and I could see it clearly in her blood-red pupils.

"Are you wondering how I knew?" I asked with a smile.

Lydia nodded.

I simply retained my smile without explaining anything.

Instead, I stretched out my hand, and lightning coalesced at its tip.

Lydia glanced at it, and her shock deepened.

"You also learned the lightning cursed movement technique?"

"No." I gave her a knowing look.

A thoughtful expression appeared on Lydia’s face, and subconsciously she realized something terrifying.

Even though I didn’t explicitly state it, combining what I’d told her before about increasing her strength as much as possible, and now this...

It was clear that I could grow stronger through... her?

"But how?" Lydia’s expression grew complex as she asked, trying to contain her shock.

"Some things are best left a secret, Lydia. The walls have ears," I said with a smile.

At my words, although Lydia was slightly disappointed, she understood what I meant.

Leaning back onto my chest, a smile replaced her earlier disappointment.

A thought appeared in her heart as she muttered,

"I’m glad I was able to be of help to the young master..."

Traces of tears appeared at the corners of her eyes.

Previously, the thought of not adding any value to Aristarkh’s life made it seem as though she was running on a limited path beside him.

As soon as she was no longer useful, would he abandon her?

Now, however, knowing that the two were destined for each other brought a sense of warmth to Lydia’s chest.

"That’s why I loved you..." I said coolly, making Lydia’s face turn slightly redder.

We stayed in the same position for a few more hours, during which I asked about the activities of the Targaryen clan and how she’d been since I left.

Lydia explained her situation, along with the fact that my sister, Sylvia, had been gone for about three days.

Just as the silence between us began to stretch, a knock echoed on the door.

Lydia froze slightly and turned to glance at it, her expression a little panicked.

"Stay here..." I said calmly as I stood up.

"No—young master, I..." Lydia was about to explain that she was the servant and it was her duty to handle matters like this, but I had already stood up.

Wearing a light blue robe, I approached the door.

She could only wrap the duvet around herself to cover her naked frame, staring fixedly at the door to see who had arrived.

I opened the door and saw a servant with a slightly nervous expression standing outside.

The moment she saw me, she immediately bowed respectfully.

"Young master!"

After I gave her the leeway to speak, she quickly explained,

"The master sent for you to come and retrieve your reward."

"Where is he?"

"At the meeting hall."

"Okay, I’ll be there shortly," I replied smoothly, and before she could say anything more, I shut the door.

She remained in place for a moment, glancing around briefly. After her racing heart calmed down, she finally departed with a slightly disappointed expression.

’He didn’t even spare me a glance...’ the maid thought with some regret.

Unaware of her thoughts, I returned to the room and saw Lydia glancing up at me curiously.

"Father has sent for me. I have to quickly attend to him. I’ll be back shortly..." I said.

"Oh... okay... should I wait here or...?" Lydia asked, her eyes darting slightly as a blush spread across her face.

"Whichever you want," I said, leaving her with the decision. "Though it would be nice to sleep in your arms tonight..." I added as I wore a dark blue shirt.

Lydia’s face turned even redder at the thought.

Still, internally, she had already made her decision.

"I’ll be here when you return..." her voice dropped as low as a mosquito.

With my enhanced hearing from the cursed master realm, I was able to hear her clearly.

Giving her a light peck on her lips, I swiftly left the room, heading toward the meeting hall.

My steps were even and brisk. Along the way, I noticed a deeper look of respect on every guard’s face.

There was also a trace of shock in their expressions, along with a hint of fear.

Not understanding what had happened, I simply shook my head and quickened my pace.

Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door open and saw a towering, broad-shouldered man standing at the edge of the balcony, gazing down below.

A contemplative expression rested on his face.

Without turning around, he seemed to sense my presence and began speaking.

"It is extremely unprecedented for one to increase their realm of cursed cultivation so fast... unless that person is... a cursed monster..."

Instantly, the temperature in the room plummeted.

Unlike the cold I had encountered with my mother before, this time it was filled with bloodshed, as though Aristarkh had appeared on a battlefield of experts.
