She’s only 18 years old. A lot yonger than me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she replied plainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s because it feels immoral when I still think of myself as a 30-year-old. Do you understand what I’m trying to say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adonis realized that Vexa was right. Why should he restrain his desires when he had vowed to achieve absolute freedom? Why should his 30 year-old mindset be allowed to limit his freedom in this new life?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he also knew he could no longer neglect the path he had chosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wanted to grow stronger, he must do this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Lord, here is your morning tea,\" Millia said, handing him the cup with graceful poise. \"Lady Adelaide brewed this one personally for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adonis accepted the teacup and looked up at her beautiful face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time there was no shyness, nor any hesitation in his gaze. His crimson eyes openly displayed his emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However because of his young body, what burned inside him now was not only desire. There was also a deep longing for an emotional bond, together with sincere appreciation for her natural beauty and the quiet effort she put into every small act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Millia noticed the change in his eyes, but she couldn’t quite understand what they were trying to convey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adonis took a small sip of the tea, then looked at her with a warm smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Millia. The tea was really great.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Millia’s heart skipped a beat for a second. After all, this was the first time Adonis had ever complimented her directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t do anything. It’s your mother who made the tea for you,\" she said, as though her own role didn’t matter at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He replied like a gentleman,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. Mother may have brewed it, but you’re the one who personally brought it to me. I’m grateful for that, Millia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Millia’s heart warmed at his words, though she outwardly feigned embarrassment, her cheeks tinting faintly pink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem... what’s gotten into you today, Young Lord? You’re being such a sweet talker all of a sudden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached up and nervously tucked a strand of her black hair behind her ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, show me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ PROFILE APPRAISAL ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ Name: Millia Arwen ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ Age: 19 ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ Status: Apprentice Attendant ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ Affiliation: Brunvalia Duchy ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ Personality Traits: Cheerful, diligent, empathetic, slightly timid under pressure ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ Talents: Expert Ccoking, enhanced vision, latent Ether sensitivity ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ Affection Level: 5% (Just Acquaintance.

You’re so beautiful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Millia’s face flushed red like a ripe apple by the compliment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, uh, what are you s-saying, young lord?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She froze for a moment, unsure how to react, yet she did not pull away. The gesture from her young lord felt comforting, though undeniably awkward too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Adonis felt embarrassed by how cheesy his words sounded, but he forced himself to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand slid down and lightly held her rough and calloused finger with a rare gentleness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These hands of yours have helped many people in need. Others might overlook that, but I don’t. I truly appreciate you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His faintly reddish pupils met her warm brown ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just want you to know this, You’ll become a strong woman in the future.

So, don’t give up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Millia’s heart beat faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked away unsure why those simple words had affected her so deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Congratulations!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ Your affection level with Millia Arwen increase by 5% ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ Harem Force +10 ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving the notification, Adonis cheered inwardly. His flirting skill was pitifully low, so this tiny bit of progress felt like crossing a major milestone in his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now needed just 90 more Harem Force to upgrade the Harem Sword to the next stage—or 1,000 to convert them into 100 EXP for Level 2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, Harem Force was the crucial currency if he wanted to grow stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Millia finally found her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gently but firmly pushed his hand away and took a step back, lowering her head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-Young Lord, please don’t say things like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything I do is just my duty.
