"Henrietta!" After seeing Anies leave, Lu Yi called out to Henrietta.

"Is something the matter, Sebastian?" Henrietta asked Lu Yi curiously.

"If, I mean if one day I have to leave, will you... leave with me?" Lu Yi hesitated for a moment before asking the question.

"Leave? Why?" Henrietta asked, puzzled.

“I told you before that when our contract ends, I will also disappear. I am different from other familiars. When their contracts end, their familiars can still exist in this world, but I cannot.”

"No matter where you go, I will follow you and never leave you!" Henrietta said without hesitation.

"really?"

"kindness!"

"That's wonderful!" Lu Yi exclaimed excitedly after hearing that Henrietta was willing to leave with him. He hugged Henrietta and spun her around.

"Okay, put me down quickly, my head is so dizzy!" Henrietta said with a smile when she saw Lu Yi's excited appearance.

"Here you go." After putting Henrietta down, Lu Yi flipped his right hand, and a small red box appeared in his hand. He then handed it to Henrietta.

"This is..." Henrietta asked, looking at the box in Lu Yi's hand with a puzzled expression.

"Anliaita, will you... marry me?" Lu Yi opened the box, and a delicate wedding ring lay quietly inside. He spoke solemnly.

Hearing Lu Yi's words and glancing at the wedding ring in his hand, Anliaita stood there bewildered, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

"Henrietta, what's wrong? Don't you want to?"

"No...it's nothing, I'm just a little lost!"

"Here, let me put it on for you!" With that, Lu Yi took out the ring from the box and put it on Henrietta's ring finger. Seeing Lu Yi's actions, Henrietta did not dodge, but just watched quietly.

"Alright, from now on, you're my woman, and you can't run away even if you want to," Lu Yi said with a smile after helping Anliaita put on the ring.

"Who...who is your woman? How shameless!" Henrietta said, her face flushed.

"Hehe... Come on, give me a kiss first." With that, Lu Yi leaned towards Henrietta to kiss her, but she dodged it and he missed.

"I...I have other things to do." Henrietta made up an excuse and fled.

Lu Yi didn't chase after them, but just smiled and shook his head. Anyway, there would be plenty of time later. With that thought, Lu Yi walked out of the main hall. As soon as Lu Yi stepped out of the main hall, he saw all the guards looking at him with admiration, as if they were looking at a god. Lu Yi was already used to it, and nodded to them as he walked past them.

"Boom..." Just as Lu Yi was wandering aimlessly through the palace, a slight sound reached his ears. Upon hearing this sound, Lu Yi quickly turned his head to look into the distance and saw a plume of black smoke rising from a forest in the distance. Without thinking much, Lu Yi instantly teleported towards that place.

"Boom..." When Lu Yi arrived, another loud noise came. Louise was fighting with a stranger, while Saito and Anies were also rushing over.

"It's no use, I know you very well!" came the stranger's voice from the void.

"Why are you arresting me? What do you want from me?" Louise shouted at the crowd.

"The reason for the first question is that you're not the only one chanting the void, and of course, there are familiars too. Let me tell you something else: I am Muznet Nilon." With that, the person lifted the hat that had been covering their head, revealing a mark on their forehead, and the owner of this mark was a woman.

"It's her? No wonder this power felt so familiar!" Lu Yi thought after seeing the other person's face.

“That…that is…” Louise asked in surprise, looking at the mark on the other person’s forehead.

"Known as 'the mind of God,' yes, I am also a familiar of nothingness, the familiar of my noble master. Where is your familiar? Is it taking a nap somewhere, or... has it already disappeared?" the other party said to Louise.

"Hai...we meet again!" Lu Yi stepped out from behind the tree and stood in front of Louise, speaking to the person opposite her.

"It's you!!!" the other person exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Lu Yi.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Appointment Letter

“That’s right, it’s me. What? Surprised?” Lu Yi said with a smile when he saw the other person’s expression.

"Huh??? Sebastian, you two know each other?" At this moment, Saito had also arrived at the scene. Hearing the conversation between the two sides, he looked at Lu Yi with a puzzled expression and asked.

"I guess so, we've clashed once," Lu Yi said, shaking his head.

"Sebastian? Could you be the familiar of Her Majesty Queen Tristine, the god of death who annihilated Albi Subaru's 70000-strong army?" the other party asked after hearing Saito call out Lu Yi's name.

"Huh??? I didn't expect you to know me too. Looks like I'm quite famous! God of Slaughter? I didn't know I had such a title." Lu Yi laughed.

"Hmph, don't get too cocky. I don't believe you can single-handedly annihilate 70000 Albi Subaru's army as the legends say. Those people must be exaggerating." The other party said, clearly not believing.

"You'll find out soon enough whether it's an exaggeration or not." He then turned to Saito and said, "Saito, you take Louise and go first. I'll handle this guy!"

"I understand!" Saito said, then pulled Louise away.

"Alright, you're in the way, go. I've been bored in the palace these past few days, so I'll keep you company today!" Lu Yi said to the other person after they left.

"Hmph, what a boastful statement." With that, he summoned magical puppets, and Lu Yi was immediately surrounded by dozens of them.

"Oh??? Magical dolls? But you've chosen the wrong target!" Lu Yi didn't even look at the magical dolls around him, but just grinned at the other party.

"Huh? What do you mean?" The other party didn't understand Lu Yi's meaning and asked subconsciously.

"I mean you're summoning manpower for me. Although I'd love to do it myself, since you've already done it, how can I refuse?" Lu Yi said.

"Hmph, you can be arrogant all you want, but you'll regret it later." The other woman said angrily after hearing Lu Yi's words. As she spoke, she tried to control the puppets to attack Lu Yi, but soon, a look of shock appeared on her face. The puppets she had just summoned were now completely unresponsive no matter how she tried to control them. Looking at Lu Yi, who was still standing there smiling at her, she knew that this must be Lu Yi's doing. The thought of this possibility made her look incredulous, and cold sweat began to roll down her forehead.

"Is it because we can't control these puppets anymore?"

"This...this is impossible."

"Nothing is impossible! Alright, GAME.O..." Before Lu Yi could finish speaking, he saw that the person turn around and try to run away.

"Hey, hey... wait a minute, we haven't even started fighting yet, why are you running away?" Lu Yi shouted when he saw the other party trying to escape. But the other party didn't even turn his head, only caring about running away.

"Oh my god, this is too much... um... never mind, we'll meet again eventually anyway," Lu Yi said listlessly. Then, he waved his right hand at the magical puppets around him, and they turned into starlight and disappeared.

Inside the royal palace at this moment...

“There’s nothing here.” Louise said as she entered the hall and looked at the empty space.

"Louise, Saito!" Henrietta said as she quickly walked over to Louise and Saito upon their arrival.

"Your Highness, what is this?" Louise asked in confusion.

“Because of that war, the national treasury is empty, and in order to help in any way, we’ve sold all the furniture,” Henrietta explained.

"How could we let Her Highness make such a sacrifice?"

"It's nothing. I almost lost you too. Not only did I try to use your power, but I also put you in danger. How can I ever apologize to you?"

"Your Highness, please don't mind."

"Thank you, Louise." He then hugged Louise tightly.

"Bang... I'm back." Lu Yi pushed open the door rather inappropriately and said.

"Sebastian, you're back!" Henrietta wiped away her tears as she saw Lu Yi return. Then, remembering the reason for summoning Louise and Saito, she took out an appointment letter and handed it to Saito, saying, "By the way, Mr. Saito, you have also made many contributions to Tristene."

"Paper?" Cai Ren asked, taking the appointment letter with a puzzled look.

“That makes you a nobleman,” Henrietta continued.

“Wait, Your Highness, it is Lord Sebastian who has made contributions to the country. He should be granted a noble title!” Louise exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Henrietta’s words.

“That’s right, I can’t accept it. I have no power right now. I’m just an ordinary person.” Saijin returned the appointment letter to Henrietta.

"Alright, Lady Cai, just accept it. Otherwise, His Majesty will be very troubled," Lu Yi said frankly.

“Well… alright, thank you, Your Majesty,” the lady said.

(I've been tied up with things these past two days, but I'll try to finish this late tomorrow if I have time.)

Chapter Twenty-Five: The Trial of Heretics

"Anies, you may leave now! By the way, you will remain as the captain of the Imperial Guard. Her Majesty's safety is in your hands." After the concubine accepted the noble title, Lu Yi dismissed them and then spoke to Anies, who was still standing there.

“Yes, it is my duty to protect His Majesty’s safety. Please rest assured, my lord. I’ll be going now.” Anita said, somewhat flattered, and then she left.

Now only Lu Yi and Anliaita remained in the hall. Lu Yi had a wicked smile on his lips and his eyes were slightly narrowed as he stared intently at Anliaita. Anliaita felt uneasy under his gaze, her eyes darting around, unable to meet his eyes. The two stood silently opposite each other, and a subtle atmosphere filled the entire hall, making Anliaita increasingly uneasy.

"Um... Sebastian, you should go out too. I still have some official documents to approve..." Sensing the increasingly tense atmosphere, Henrietta hurriedly spoke up.

"No, my beautiful Queen, you can't escape this time. Because of my great contributions in the last war, no reward can fully match my achievements. But those worldly things mean nothing to me, so I refuse all the rewards you offer. But you promised me that you would grant me any request." Lu Yi came to Anliaita's side, hugged her tightly, and said with a smile.

"Then... then what do you want?" Henrietta asked, shifting her body restlessly.

"Well, I want you to be my woman! I wonder if you can grant me this small request?" Lu Yi asked, looking at the face so close to his own, his eyes gleaming with a different kind of light.

"Huh? Aren't I already your woman? Why are you making such a request?" Anliaita didn't understand Lu Yi's meaning and said subconsciously.

"This isn't something I can just say. I want to make you my woman completely, body and soul!" Lu Yi said domineeringly.

"Huh??? This...this, let's talk about it in a few days, okay? I'm not ready yet." At this moment, Henrietta finally understood what Lu Yi meant, and her face immediately turned red as she said shyly.

"Oh, is that so? Then can we kiss now?" Hearing Anliaita's words, Lu Yi didn't want to push too hard, so he could only back down. After speaking, he didn't give Anliaita a chance to refuse and suddenly kissed her on the lips. Seeing Lu Yi's actions, Anliaita was startled and her body instinctively wanted to resist, but how could her weak strength compare to Lu Yi's domineering strength? Seeing that she couldn't resist, Anliaita gave up, closed her eyes, and quietly enjoyed it.

"Your Majesty, Lord Mazarin requests an audience!" Just as the two were lost in their passionate kiss, Anies' voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Hearing Anies's voice, Henrietta, who had been startled awake, shoved Lu Yi away, straightened her disheveled clothes, glared at him fiercely, and then said, "Please let him in!"

"This is the current treasury statistic; please review it, Your Majesty," Masarein said, handing a document to Henrietta as he entered. Henrietta was already seated on the throne with a smile, and Lu Yi stood respectfully behind her. However, after Masarein entered, Lu Yi's gaze never left him. That fierce look made Masarein uneasy; he didn't know when he had offended Lu Yi and could only return Lu Yi's gaze with innocent eyes.

“Minister Masarin, let me take a look at the list!” Henrietta said.

. . . .

"Dean Osman, it's been a long time!" It seems that countries have reached an agreement to stop fighting, and the world has ushered in a temporary peace. This has made Lu Yi very bored. Out of boredom, he suddenly remembered that Tiffany was still living in the magic academy, so he rushed over.

"Hehe... It's Lord Sebastian! It's truly an honor for our institute to have you here!" Upon seeing Lu Yi, Osman immediately stood up and said respectfully.

"Alright, don't be so polite. I came here to see Princess Tifania. I didn't know which class she was in, so I came to ask."

"Oh, she's in the same class as Louise now, Class A of the first year."

"Okay, I understand. I'm leaving now!" Lu Yi said and walked out.

As Lu Yi walked out of the dean's office building, intending to ask someone for directions, he saw a crowd gathered ahead, as if something had happened. Seeing this, Lu Yi went over as well.

What do you want to do?

“I have the title of bishop for the inquisition of heretics.”

"She said bishop?"
