Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough

Therefore, taking this mentally sound guy as a test subject is a very good choice.

Not to mention that as their group grew larger and larger, they would eventually need to find a place to settle down.

At least in the short term, the people who need to stay together are at least four: him, Lilith, Ivina, and Felicity.

His apartment simply can't accommodate so many people; he definitely needs to move somewhere else.

So now that we've settled down, we need maids, right? Otherwise, are we really going to make Lilith serve everyone as a maid? That would be too humiliating for her.

Oh, although Cecilia will basically become a maid after tonight, you can never have too many maids, and every little bit of service is good.

For a moment, Sheila's figure blurred, and she slightly reduced the force in her heels.

She asked hesitantly, "Value...?"

"There are two kinds of witches: one is called an ugly humanoid monster, and the other is a monster like Cecilia who has the value of living."

Sheila instantly understood what Rhodes meant.

She narrowed her eyes and spoke cautiously:

"Once a week, while my sister was alive."

"What if she dies while she's still alive?"

"She's dead... I don't know, it might have terrible consequences, at the very least she won't be able to be resurrected." Sheila shook her head.

"You said you're a professional maid?"

"Ah."

"Okay, I'll hire you."

When Rhodes' last words surfaced—

The world stood still.

In an instant, the world turned crimson in everyone's eyes, and their brains began to twist as if a sea of ​​blood from hell had appeared.

At the same time, a calm voice fell:

"die."

boom!

A loud explosion rang out.

That was the witch fighting with a long sword in the corner. In an instant, her body turned into a blood mist and sprayed onto the people around her.

And then.

boom!

Another witch turned into a blood mist.

boom!

Another sound rang out, and yet another figure shattered...

Bang Bang Bang!

Countless chain explosions spread wildly.

At this moment, the entire first floor of the Duke's mansion was hell...

As countless fragments of corpses flew across the ground, all the witches were torn to shreds...

Only three witches survived.

That's Cecilia, Sheila, and Sheila's sister Mira—

In an instant, the battle ended.

"What...?" The guard felt a pool of blood smeared on his face. He quickly wiped it off and looked around, only to find that the battle was over.

ha?

It was both shock at the end of the battle and panic at the violent massacre.

They couldn't imagine what would happen to them if this power were being bestowed upon them...

Apart from the three witches, nearly a hundred witches were all killed, leaving only the guards who were still raising their swords, ready to fight back...

This is not only a siege against witches, but also a massacre of these harmful monsters that threaten the city!

Cecilia, standing on the stage, now understood that defeat was inevitable. Slightly incredulous, she helplessly withdrew her hand.

After all, she won't die no matter what; it just means that she's going to have a few interesting days ahead.

Being enslaved and played with by Rhodes for a few days isn't a big problem, after all, she was indeed a bit too cruel to her sister.

Let's just consider it a long-awaited trip back to serve him and then apologize to my sister.

In any case, no matter how much they try to control her, they are only controlling her temporary "id".

That's what makes Cecilia so terrifying.

She can have a total of twelve clones, corresponding to the twelve directions of the clock.

The number the pointer points to determines which clone her [original form] is.

In other words, Rhodes and the others were only controlling a state of her that was superimposed between her [original body] and [clone].

Unless they capture all twelve of their clones, there is no way they can truly kill her...

Cecilia snapped out of her daze and smiled with delight.

I'm very happy, genuinely happy.

After all, from the very beginning, none of the paths were bad for her.

Because if Rhodes chooses Ivina, then her "original self" can be redeemed, and she can fulfill her early dream.

If Rhodes doesn't choose to put Ivina into suffering, then she can successfully avenge the last time Rhodes killed her.

but……

When Cecilia saw Lilith, her expression darkened again:

"It seems this is the end of it, Lilith."

This was the only thing that bothered her: that she hadn't been able to kill Lilith.

It can only be said that Lilith is still a goddess, and Cecilia cannot kill her if she is only defending.

What a pity……

“Boring,” Lilith said coolly, maintaining her focus on power output.

Meanwhile, Merrick had already returned to the ground.

She walked slowly behind Sheila and hooked her fingers around her shoulder.

At this moment, her body had returned to its withered, elfin form, but her eyeliner remained long and narrow, exuding an air of arrogance.

At the same time, Merrick reached out and clamped a special iron handcuff around Sheila's neck.

"hiss."

Sheila felt the heaviness in her neck, her body swayed slightly, and then a hint of panic appeared in her eyes.

Oh no, my power has been sealed... I'm truly a prisoner now.

"You can have your fun with this yourself." Merrick said casually, tossing another pair of handcuffs far away at Mira's feet. "Put them on."

Mira froze. Cowardly as she was, she couldn't withstand any intimidation and quickly bent down to pick up the cuffs and handcuff herself. "Okay, okay!"

After watching the enemy being subdued, Horenad sheathed his longsword.

He glanced at his mansion, now reduced to ashes, and his feelings were indescribable.

Tonight, most of the nobles are destined to stay out...

He took a deep breath and said calmly:

"All the guards, take the wounded to treatment and clean up the area."

"Yes!"

The wounded were all carried away, and the situation finally stabilized.

Tonight's witch attack was truly an unexpected surprise.

First came the powerful coercion, then the appearance of a stronger being beyond their control, followed by a chaotic massacre...

However, overall, the number of deaths on their side was still kept within a manageable range.

As Horrenard breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes also fell upon the girl in the gorgeous dress standing on the stage—

Or rather, everyone is watching Cecilia right now.

Cecilia was slightly taken aback. "Why are you looking at me?"

"Oh, I surrender."

She raised her hands.

……

...

[In the flowerbed]

The Duke has gone to deal with the problems of the nobility, so only familiar faces remain here.

Rhodes and the young girls, along with three witches and Merrick.

Merrick lay down on the chaise lounge where Ivina often slept, swaying leisurely, while Lilith and Felicity sat around the dining table that had been used for meals before.

At this moment, Rhodes, holding Ivina's hand, faced Cecilia.

Cecilia was kneeling on the ground with a gentle smile on her face, but her hands and neck were bound by iron shackles.

But at this moment, her slender waist stood straight, the natural curve of her spine supporting her chest, and her face remained beautiful without changing expression.

The two witches stood silently behind Cecilia, keeping a safe distance for fear of being caught in the crossfire.

They're completely defenseless right now, so of course we have to be careful...
