Chapter 6 The Charles Family
“I saw that slender jade hand lift, her red lips gently biting down as she slowly began to loosen the sash before her chest. A jade-white valley opened, sending forth waves of fragrance. Her gown, as thin as gauze, slipped down. With a twist of her slender waist, she became the very picture of seductive charm...”
“However, our bishop still held fast to his original heart. Facing such spring scenery, his expression remained indifferent. He clasped his hands in prayer and said to that woman: ‘Succubus, though you may enter my dreams, you cannot disturb my heart.’”
“The succubus merely smiled, and the succubus markings on her abdomen faintly glowed... Do not worry about what kind of markings for now. I will draw them for you later.”
“She said, ‘Sincegoddessgranted you the body of a man and gave you the instinct to reproduce, and since you possess an instrument of pleasure, why would you cast it aside and refuse to use it? Why not entrust it to me? I will surely make you feel even happier than entering heaven.’”

“The bishop gave a cold snort and declared loudly, ‘What of heaven? What of hell? So long as my heart is devout, even a lifetime of bitter cultivation would be as sweet as syrup to me. What of pleasure? What of no pleasure? Whatgoddessbestowed is only for inheritance. The ** is not such an inconvenient thing!’”
“When the succubus heard this, she flew into a rage. In the dream, she could naturally do as she pleased. Thus, she unfolded her domain, and with every step she took toward the bishop, flowers bloomed beneath her feet. The air became damp, hot, and sweet, while lewd, drifting sounds constantly assaulted the bishop’s mind.”

“The bishop’s vision grew blurry. Suddenly, he saw it. He saw it! That pale, naked body had actually changed into her likeness. When he looked again, where was the succubus’ crimson, wanton face? All that remained before him was the bashful helplessness of a freckled girl.”
“‘Succubus! How dare you disturb my Dao heart!’ The bishop was already panicking. The past was like smoke and clouds. Though he had told himself again and again that the person was already gone, that he had lost her forever, his body—his body’s instincts—were suddenly released!”
“Seizing this chance, the succubus flashed forward and wrapped both arms around the bishop. Beneath that pure and innocent face, however, was an uncontrollable trembling desire.”
“Her warm body pressed tightly down. Theology, religion, civilization, and propriety were all completely shattered by this one blow! One could only say, what a fitting line—mountain peach blossoms reddened the whole hilltop...”

Just as the story reached its climax, a messenger soldier hurried over and shouted, “Your Grace, Lord Cage has arrived.”
“Oh, has he?”
The story came to an abrupt halt. At the construction site, Oswald put down his pickaxe and stood expressionlessly. Then he patted the dust from his trousers and strode straight out of the crowd.
But in the next second, seven or eight strong and powerful hands grabbed him. When he looked back, he saw seven or eight equally gloomy faces flushed red all the way down their necks.

“What are you doing? What are you doing? Mind your image. I am the duke. Do not delay my work.”
“You still remember that you are the duke? What duke spends every lunch break telling us... those kinds of stories?” a burly man with a flushed face muttered.

“Exactly. Finish the story before you leave. I have no other reason. I simply want to study theology and engage in critical learning,” another young man said swiftly with a calm expression, immediately drawing agreement from everyone around him.
“Ah, yes, yes. We are mainly devout and want to hear theological stories.”
“Exactly, exactly. We are all believers.”
You brat. You were the one listening with the most fascination just now.
Oswald wasted no words. He walked over and lifted the young man up in one hand.
Then, under everyone’s thoughtful gazes, the young man’s skin instantly flushed hot red, and he slowly... hunched over.

Oswald silently glanced at that unidentified protrusion, then deeply sighed amid the strange silence.
“I already told you not to listen. You little brat, you are still in puberty. Pay attention to your health.”
Kicking aside those thirsty grown men one after another, Oswald left the bustling construction site, leaped onto the horse brought over by the messenger, and followed the flat grassland toward Broad Valley City some distance away, whipping his horse onward.
At this moment, Broad Valley City had long since become a large concentration point for supplies and personnel. In terms of population density, perhaps only the Royal Capital could compare to it.
Nearly one hundred thousand soldiers and civilians had come here under orders, determined to begin from this land beneath their feet and restore the Northern Territory’s former might.
Thus, miners, farmers, herdsmen, craftsmen, logistics transport personnel, soldiers, and people of all different professions and statuses hurried here from every region day and night. Then, under dispatch, they went to different areas around Broad Valley City to begin construction.

Of course, such a flourishing scene of all things bursting with vitality naturally could not be without the assistance of mages.
Regardless of whether they were willing or not...

Magic was something one could only buy. No matter the race, it was a talent that only a minority could master. Even the demon race, which had built its fortune on magic, was no exception.
Demon race: Our late emperor founded our foundation with the power of seven Archmages, pacified the four directions, and endured hardship while building this small corner of land. That is why our country is so powerful now. At present, we have a full four Archmages!
To put it plainly, mages had nothing to do with whether a country was strong or populous.
If one had them, one had them. If one did not, one did not. With good luck, one could find several mages in a small village. With bad luck, an entire country might not be able to gather even the number of fingers on one hand.

It was just like a certain country in his previous life, which was full of talented people but could not find a dozen people who could play football.
Talent was bestowed by heaven, and so one transcended the masses.
Most mages in the kingdom did not concern themselves with outside affairs. They gathered together and established organization after organization. Even if war raged outside, they paid no attention and spent day and night conducting magical research.
Therefore, when Oswald saw Cage in a mage’s robe, leaning on a staff, he was not at all surprised to receive a resentful look from the other party.

Cage—or rather, Cage Charles—was Oswald’s younger cousin and one of the only three remaining members of the Charles family.
If the purpose of Oswald’s existence as a supporting character was to provide the Hero with a a ready-made foundation for the Hero’s rise for getting rich, then Cage’s life was spent forever and faithfully carrying out the task of being a fawn over the Hero’s harem.

That was right. This kid liked Annie. Later, after Oswald’s death, he had even voluntarily run over and become Annie’s devoted sycophant.
The relationship between two brothers and the same woman—one possessed her but did not love her, while the other loved her but could not obtain her—was a truly absurd plot arrangement.
For Annie’s sake, and also to make trouble for Oswald, Cage had provided no small amount of help and convenience to the Hero’s party.
To be honest, there was one question Oswald had wanted to ask even in the previous life: just what charm did these women possess to make all of you so obsessed?
Annie was an utter useless waste. Her talent as an archer could barely be considered excellent, but as a fellow military noble, her talent in command had been suppressed by Oswald from beginning to end.
Yet after Oswald died, she suddenly transformed and became one of the foremost military commanders in the kingdom...

It was very hard to evaluate.
There was no need to speak of the others. If they truly had any great ability, they would not have been so utterly devoted to a rookie Hero who had only just set out.
Do not ask. The answer was that he was ‘kind,’ of course.
Among them, if there was one who truly had the bearing of a heroine, it was probably only Saintess Maria. She was also the only one who had used a Wishing Star on the common people.
Returning to the present, before Oswald could even approach, Cage spoke with a taut, sour face.
“I came here only to tell you in person that you are not to seek me out again. No matter what, I will no longer interfere in the family’s affairs!”
Е n ŭ m̈а
The way he said it made it sound as if the person who later sabotaged the family was not him.
“What family affairs? Why have I never heard of them?”

As Oswald leisurely approached him, he swiftly drew the sword at his waist, his expression gradually becoming ferocious.
“My foolish little brother, your elder brother did not call you here to have you help him. He called you here so you would not cause trouble for him!”
“What?!”
Only then did Cage realize that not only was this reception room remote, but the surrounding area held only Oswald’s army.
W è b̄ ń о́ v е̄l Е̌ ň ú ḿ ӑ
Facing Oswald as he pressed closer step by step, Cage’s expression abruptly changed. He hurriedly waved his staff, preparing to cast magic, but he was still a step too late.
Or rather, he had never known Oswald’s true strength.
Oswald thrust forward with his sword. The swift blade burst forth with a gust of sharp force, slicing the surrounding walls apart layer by layer. In a single exchange, it cut the staff in Cage’s hand to pieces.
In the blink of an eye, the cold blade was already pressed against Cage’s neck.

Several personal guards immediately stepped forward. A heavy pair of handcuffs forged from anti-magic stone locked Cage’s hands. Then, with a vicious kick, Cage lost all his strength and all his means of resistance, kneeling on the ground in a daze.
Oswald slowly sheathed his sword. He did not even bother to look at Cage again. The words he spoke after turning around carried not the slightest warmth.

“Lock him up. In addition, spread the news that Cage has already left the Northern Territory.”
“Yes, Your Grace!”
After walking out of the reception room, Oswald came to the top of the city wall. Looking out at the stretches of farmland opened up in the distance, he could not help revealing a smile.
Starting from a very long time ago, he had stopped treating this world as a game. Just as the System said, everyone here was a living, breathing person. They followed him because they wanted to survive and then live a stable and peaceful life.
This was not his struggle alone, but the struggle of all the people of the Northern Territory.
Otherwise, why had the entire Northern Territory rebelled in the previous life? Do not talk about gratitude. Oswald understood very clearly that if the Hero had done better than him, he could likewise have become someone hated by the people.

It was just like the so-called prosperous age boasted about by a certain dynasty in his previous life. What kind of prosperous age had people rebelling every single year?
One could only say that after certain people had once come into the world, later rulers, no matter how unfair, would at least restrain themselves somewhat.
Unfortunately, the Hero did not understand this principle. He thought Oswald had been militaristic and had oppressed the people terribly.
In truth, not only had the people suffered terribly at the time, Oswald himself had suffered as well. It was still the same saying: the people suffered because of bitter war, and the country suffered from bitter war. No matter how militaristic Oswald was, the demon army was there, waiting for them on the battlefield.
Oswald had practically kept himself alive on a single breath, protecting the borders and securing the people while walking through the plot.
In the past, it had been Oswald leading everyone through bitter days together. They came through wind and rain, did the same things, and ate the same food.

But when the Hero arrived later, how could he have ever seen such a situation? To him, giving a beggar by the roadside a piece of bread was already a tremendous act of kindness.
The early spring wind still carried a slight chill, blowing until Oswald’s skin ached. He turned his head and continued his daily question.

“Has anything gone wrong at the Marquis Estate?”
The personal guard immediately answered, “Lady Eileen sent a letter saying everything is normal.”
“Mm. That is good.”
Oswald picked at the dry scab on his face, but the expression on his face did not relax in the slightest because of this news.

After a long silence, he suddenly remembered a line from a game he had played before and could not help sneering.
“The past has never passed. It has not even arrived yet.”
The soldiers did not understand. Since when had their duke become so cultured that he recited poetry? Was his head not full of those embarrassing stories...?
However, Oswald did not explain anything. He merely asked calmly once more.

“Where is Luna Charles? Send more people to urge her along. Tell her that her elder brother wishes to see her as soon as possible.”
