prince, who was obviously barely holding on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a part the manhwa never showed, but given all that just happened, he was certain that the manhwa was a lot more than that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... don’t know,\" Avera answered, \"all I know is their name and yet, I can’t tell you that, after all, it’d only attract more of them here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see,\" he answered, still looking at the beings of light before the space reverted back to a white void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What I can tell you is that you need to be a lot stronger than you are now,\" she continued, \"if you intend to keep Renelle safe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian was silent for a while, in other words, Avera was betting on him to keep her safe and the motivation to do so was Renelle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, it was the greatest of motivations though, at least for someone like him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I assume you’ll send me back?\" He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm,\" Avera nodded, \"but before that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then stood up and grabbed four dolls, three of which were extremely familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, even the last one was recognizable after all, how would he forget the one that caused his death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The face was still blurred to him, but he was sure of it,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the cult, Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the dolls resembled Avera, or rather, Isla, the other was of the headmistress whilst the last was of a man Adrian had only seen once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The founder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At this point, you might’ve already encountered these four children,\" Avera started, \"they were supposed to be my pillars.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which is why this one,\" She pointed to the Master’s doll, \"recognizes you as an anomaly, though, I never foresaw that he’d try removing you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian just silently listened looking at the dolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although he is my precious child,\" she continued, \"he is also one of the triggers to my destruction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you’ll have to remove him,\" Avera said, her expression turning completely cold as she looked at him, \"but I guess I don’t have to tell you that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was right, Adrian fully intended on removing the cult Master, after all, he was a threat that much wasn’t known about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about the other three?\" He asked, looking at the other dolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Each has a piece that should make you whole,\" Avera replied with a smile, \"one that should prepare you for what’s coming, though, not even they know it just yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused before looking at the founder’s doll and adding, \"Well, except this one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Avera let out a chuckle, looking at the doll, \"This child is quite a stubborn one, but I believe you have a reason convincing enough to get him to give it to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What exactly, do I need from them?\" Adrian asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ll know in time,\" she simply answered with a smile which, in other words, meant she couldn’t tell him anything just yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The moment he hands it to you,\" she continued, \"the others should also awaken theirs, so I suggest you search for him first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But as a gift for our first meeting, I’ll allow you to use it, this once,\" she then stood up again and walked closer, \"now then, let’s send you back, shall we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Adrian had the chance to ask anything, Avera tapped his forehead and the next second, he blacked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Avera watched his being slowly fade with a small smile on her face and the moment he fully disappeared, she muttered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My hope is on you, Adrian, please get stronger, for all our sakes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darkness once again,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the first thing Adrian noticed when his eyes reopened, but this time, he had control over his limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«Welcome back,» a voice suddenly pulled his attention towards it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian soon spotted the being that had spoken, and he immediately noticed that it was a massive one wearing robes that couldn’t be distinguished from the darkness around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though at the same time, its humanoid form could clearly be made out as its glowing white eyes looked directly at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Noctis?\" Adrian questioned as he felt the contract within him respond to the being’s presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The being was silent for a while before sighing and its form started shrinking until it was back in its cat form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«It seems you truly didn’t die,» the cat said floating towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\" Adrian asked, \"Were you worried?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«....»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noctis wisely chose not to respond to that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long has it been?\" Adrian asked, switching the topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«This dimension is timeless,» it answered, «and I was trapped here from the moment you ’died’, so no time should’ve passed.»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see,\" He nodded, \"then let’s return to my lady’s side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«Before that,» Noctis suddenly spoke up, «it seems we can use ’it’ for a fraction of a moment.»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Adrian asked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«The V@$#,» Noctis said, but all Adrian heard was static causing the cat to sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«Just trust me on this one,» it said, «it should allow us to clean up everything much faster.»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see,\" Adrian nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With how prideful this damn cat was, he hadn’t expected it to ask for trust, and yet, here they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the cost?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noctis went silent for a while before letting out a sigh and answering, «Since your body is not ready for it just yet, our connection might be temporarily broken.»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, there was a chance that he wouldn’t be able to use his spirit’s abilities for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian closed his eyes as he thought of its words for a while, before recalling the look on Renelle’s face and he immediately came to a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re doing it,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«Good,» it muttered, «then don’t resist.»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian opened his eyes again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Resist what—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t get to finish the sentence when a wave of energy suddenly filled him, no, that wasn’t quite accurate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was more accurate to say that a dam that was holding back an entire ocean had just been shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Adrian... was standing at the center of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Renelle watched in horror as Adrian’s body fell to the floor but the next second, an explosion of dark pressure originating from him spread across the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly his body rose and his eyes were revealed to her, causing her to doubt if this really was her butler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Adrian?\" She hesitantly called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whites in his eyes had disappeared completely, replaced by an endless darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at her for a second and she could’ve sworn he smiled before turning around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian slightly extended his hand forward before muttering,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Cease].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his words, the aura that surrounded him exploded outwards, and suddenly, all the other corrupted human presences disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second after, Adrian turned back to her, his eyes back to normal as he said with a smile, \"Hey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just after his words, Adrian felt his vision blur and the next second, he was once again consumed by darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>",1178,"2026-06-02T10:56:10.128Z",1,"novelbin.me","7ec0a31d9e55870ac93a01a7308e0368b5c2bc029b6dc9cef4fd02eb649d6add","the-lady-s-butler-i-reincarnated-to-serve-the-vi-chapter-97","the-lady-s-butler-i-reincarnated-to-serve-the-vi-chapter-95",146,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-s-butler-i-reincarnated-to-serve-the-vi-cover.jpg"]
