It’s a rather modest space for a noble’s reception room.

A dignified woman and a languid man were facing each other.

After the grand welcoming ceremony, Lania asked to stay at Eugene’s mansion.

“I will take good care of you in the future.”

“Yes. If there is anything inconvenient, please let me know right away.”

Lania looked at Eugene carefully.

An ordinary-looking man with black hair.

At first glance, even if you just pass by, it would be difficult to tell that he is a warrior.

‘But something about the atmosphere is different.’

His seemingly light-hearted appearance had a subtly wild vibe.

“Do you have any plans for your stay?”

Lania had a purpose for coming here.

The important goal is to find out about Eugene, who is currently called the warrior, and to determine how Naern will act in the future.

But I couldn’t say it directly.

“I want to stay here and rest for the time being.”

“Then shall I prepare for you so that you can rest for a while?”

“I’d rather talk a little bit than that.”

Eugene carefully took a sip of the tea Karin had given him.

The outcome of the alliance will depend on the answer given.

Failure doesn’t mean that all your achievements up to this point will disappear, so it won’t be a big deal, but it was obvious that it would be annoying.

‘If possible, we will form an alliance and get her too.’

He didn’t think Neiren had any grand expectations either.

Since I’m going to be enemies with the Demon King anyway, I just want to make sure he’s a trustworthy person.

“Ask me anything.”

“What do you think about the Demon King?”

“He’s a bothersome, annoying, and annoying kid.”

“What if the Kingdom of Lumis sides with the Demon King?”

Lania’s question was so blatant and rude that it would have made any other nobleman jump up from his seat.

But it sounded completely different to Eugene.

A question about whether one is confident enough to fight against the Demon King, even if it means abandoning one’s noble status and kingdom.

He asked if I would fight the Demon King as a true warrior.

“At that time, I should go into exile somewhere else and destroy that guy.”

Lania met Eugene’s eyes.

His seemingly playful eyes contained sincerity.

“He won’t accept my surrender in the first place. From his perspective, I’m probably the person he wants to kill the most on the continent.”

“ ···Thank you for taking the time to answer my question, even though it was rude.”

“It’s okay. It must have been something that Rania had to check.”

Eugene smiled as he watched Lania apologize politely.

In fact, the goal of forming an alliance has been practically achieved.

Methods for achieving the next goal were slowly emerging in his mind.

“Do you have any further questions?”

“Did you know that there was a dungeon a while ago that was ruled by a zombie dragon?”

“Yes, I know.“

Eugene couldn’t not know.

Because I was the one who destroyed that place.

“There’s a rumor going around the continent that a warrior has defeated him. Is that true?”

Even though it was a zombie, the story of defeating a dragon was difficult for Lania, an elf, to accept.

But the dungeon actually existed and traces of it remained.

‘Even if the rumors are fake, I don’t think they’d refuse the alliance, but there’s no need to lie.’

He quietly drew his sword and breathed mana into it.

A sword that shines brilliantly with a blue light.

Lania, a great magician, could immediately sense how powerful the mana contained within was.

“The rumors··· were true.”

Her face was painted with horror.

Even among the elves who live longer than humans, I have never seen anyone with such powerful mana.

“Do you have any more questions?”

“No, I don’t think I need to ask any more questions.”

Lania’s goal had already achieved results beyond what was expected.

Because I confirmed with my own eyes that he, the warrior, would not side with the Demon King, and that he had incredible skills.

Her mind was set on forming an alliance.

“Then, you must be tired from coming all the way here. Why don’t you take a bath?”

“Ah··· I’ve heard of it. People even wash themselves by putting their bodies in water.”

Eugene felt a strange sensation run down the back of his neck for a moment.

The cultures of humans and elves are different, with little interaction between them.

That means she doesn’t know much about humans.

‘If I do this well, I can use it.’

In his head, various thoughts fit together like a puzzle.

She is in favor now.

As long as it’s not an unreasonable request, I’ll be more than happy to listen.

“Then, how about experiencing human culture while you’re here?”

He seeks an opportunity to teach us about human culture.

That was the plan that came to his mind.

Lania’s purpose had already been achieved, and from her perspective of staying for the time being, there was no reason to refuse.

“Okay. I was curious about human culture too.”

“That’s great. If you’re thinking of forming an alliance in the future, it would be good to learn about each other’s cultures.”

Eugene desperately held back the corners of his lips from rising.

In his eyes, Lania’s appearance was no different from that of prey caught in a trap.

A beautiful doe who stepped into a trap without any sense of caution.

As long as you don’t make any fatal mistakes, you will never miss it.

“First, how about trying the bath I just mentioned?”

“Please.”

Lania was smiling with anticipation.

“Then we will prepare it so that you will not be inconvenienced as much as possible.”

It was not unreasonable for her not to be suspicious.

Because the man in front of me was a warrior admired on the continent.

Besides, his intention to overthrow the Demon King was sincere.

The problem was that Rania was too beautiful and Eugene had too much sexual desire.

“I’ll tell Karin, so enjoy yourself and come out.”

He planned to get information about Lania by having Karin take a bath.

But the words that came out of her mouth exceeded his expectations.

“Aren’t you going in together?”

Eugene couldn’t hold back his smile any longer, so he quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

‘It’s better than expected.’

The elven queen was not merely ignorant of human culture.

I was also ignorant about sex.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have said anything about going into the bathhouse with a man.

When he noticed that fact, he felt like he was going to burst out laughing.

‘I can’t miss this opportunity.’

The idea of getting information through Karin had long since disappeared.

Even if you go out boldly, she won’t put up any resistance.

If you just enjoy it calmly, using the excuse that it’s human culture.

“I wonder if you would like to enjoy it alone. If you want, can I come with you? If you allow me, I think I can explain various cultures well.”

“It would be good to have someone to explain it to me. I know very little about human culture.”

In all her life, Rania had never once washed with a man.

Usually, it can be solved simply with magic, and no one is crazy enough to suggest that.

But the man standing in front of her was no ordinary human being.

“We will do our best to make it as enjoyable as possible.”

Rania felt strange as she watched Eugene stand up from his seat.

It feels like the wild atmosphere I felt earlier has become more intense.

The cause was sexual desire, but unfortunately she was ignorant about sex and could not understand it.

I just think he’s very motivated.

‘They seem happy to introduce their culture.’

Eugene stood up from his seat, watching her make such an absurd mistake.

His surging instincts were sending him signals that he didn’t have to hold back any longer.

“Then let’s go straight to the bathhouse. I’ll tell you from the beginning.”

Eugene, who was walking ahead, had a bright smile on his face.

But Lania, who was following behind, only saw an empty hallway.

“There don’t seem to be many people in this mansion.”

“Because I like living frugally.”

It was just a nuisance, but Eugene thought it was fortunate.

There are only four people in this mansion right now.

The two others, aside from Eugene and Rania, were Agnes and Karin.

And that meant there was no one in this mansion to help her.

‘Well… I won’t run away or resist, though.’

Eugene entered the bathroom, feeling as if he was cornering his prey.
