Inside a luxurious hall, Sora was sitting on the sofa in great leisure, with Sheele nestled in his arms, squinting her eyes like a docile kitten. Chelsea and Leone stood on either side of Sora constantly looking around, as if sizing something up.
In front of Sora there were two men and one woman standing, all with respectful expressions.
"General Sora it is an honor for you to grace my humble abode with your presence!"
Bowing, this was the voice of the man standing in the middle.
About forty years old, with a large belly and a small mustache, dressed in standard noble attire.
"Hehehe, Count Ain is too polite. It is I who am always bothering your residence."
Stroking Sheele's smooth hair in his arms, Sora nodded with a smile.
Although he was talking to the middle-aged man, Sora's gaze was focused on the two women beside the man.
The two women had similar features, and it was easy to tell that they were a mother and daughter.
The older one was about thirty years old, but time had not left any traces on this woman. Golden hair and a beautiful face, a pure white noble dress highlighted her mature temperament to the extreme.
The younger one was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with golden hair and blue eyes, a cute face, and a light blue princess dress. The black corset made the girl's waist appear exceptionally slender.
"Hehe, Lord Sora you're finally here again. My mother and I have prepared the most delicious red tea and snacks for you!"
"Are Mine and Najenda not coming? Miss Sheele still likes to lie on Lord Sora as always! And who are these two sisters?"
Bouncing and skipping to Sora's side, this was the girl in the light blue dress with short golden hair, holding Sora's arm in an extremely intimate manner, but a hidden jealousy flashed in her eyes as she looked at Sheele, who was lying happily in Sora's arms.
"Miss Aria is still so cute and considerate! Mine and Najenda went shopping today. They are Chelsea and Leone, both my maids."
Looking at the seemingly innocent and cute girl in front of him, a strange look flashed in Sora's eyes, and he replied with a smile.
"Yo, hello everyone, I'm Chelsea, just a small maid of my master. I heard you have delicious red tea here, then I won't be polite!"
With a lollipop in her mouth, Chelsea introduced herself with a smile. Seeing the servants bringing in her favorite red tea, she ran over happily, without the slightest restraint, even more casual than in her own home.
Although they felt that Chelsea was very beautiful and cute, even far surpassing those self-proclaimed elegant and beautiful noble ladies, the Aria family's gaze was more focused on Leone on the other side.
There was no way around it, she was just too eye-catching!
Not to mention the golden hair and huge breasts, but the pair of cute cat ears and the wagging tail were really hard to look away from!
"Hmph, what are you looking at? Haven't you seen one before?"
Seeing everyone staring at her with the eyes of someone looking at a rare animal, Leone immediately became unhappy. She already hated these so-called nobles, so she replied impolitely.
Speaking of which, Leone also felt quite aggrieved. It was all Sora's fault. After she fused with the Teigu, she could never change back to her original appearance!
No matter where she went, she would be watched like a rare animal. After finally returning to the Imperial Capital, she didn't even dare to see her group of friends in the slums. Even when she went out on the street, she had to carefully wear a hat and hide her tail, for fear of being discovered and treated like a monster.
Could it be that she could only be this brat's pet for the rest of her life? The cat-eared girl could only think sadly in her heart…
Being yelled at by Leone, the Aria family also came back to their senses, all with embarrassed expressions. Although they really wanted to reply with something like, "We really haven't seen one before," they endured it, thinking about the temper of this big sister.
"Leone, how can you talk like that!"
"Count Ain, Madam Ella, Miss Aria, Leone is like this because she awakened her Teigu. She is usually spoiled, so please don't mind."
Pulling Leone to sit beside him, although he was amused in his heart, Sora still had an apologetic expression on his face.
"Hahaha, so Miss Leone is a noble Teigu user, nice to meet you, nice to meet you. It was our rudeness just now."
Smiling politely, the man called Count Ain said with an indifferent expression. However, the corner of his eye was constantly wandering between Leone's cat ears, big breasts, and tail, and a hint of desire flashed in his expression.
Although the man's movements were very subtle, they could not escape the eyes of Sora and Leone. Sora just raised a slight arc at the corner of his mouth and did not say anything. Leone did not have such a good temper, and had a disgusted expression on her face, but because of Sora's hint, she did not flare up.
If it weren't for Sora saying that there would be something she was interested in and insisted on dragging her here, Leone would not have stepped into the home of these dirty nobles!
"Madam, quickly order the kitchen to serve the dishes. General Sora is able to condescend to visit our home in the midst of his busy schedule, we must not neglect him."
The middle-aged man instructed his wife, the golden-haired woman who had not spoken all along. He secretly envied General Sora's good fortune, surrounded by all these beautiful women, and even had such a special one.
"Yes, my lord."
Smiling slightly and nodding politely to Sora the woman retreated to prepare. There was not a single flaw to be found in her tone or movements. If Sora didn't know this woman's true nature from the original work, even he would have thought that she was a gentle and virtuous noblewoman!
In the following time, Sora and the middle-aged man chatted casually most of the time, and Aria occasionally told a few witty jokes that made everyone laugh.
As the strongest general in the Empire, known as the "Death God General," Sora had a great reputation in the Empire. Countless nobles had wanted to curry favor with him, but none had succeeded. Apart from the minister having some friendship with this general, no one had heard of him having any contact with other nobles in the Imperial Capital.
The middle-aged man, called Ain, felt extremely excited and lucky, because not long ago, this general had actually taken the initiative to visit his home, and this was the third time!
Don't underestimate these three visits, it was because of them that his family's status had risen rapidly in a short period of time. Many great nobles who had once disdained their family had lowered their status to befriend them!
Although he didn't understand why this great general would suddenly favor his family, the middle-aged man knew that this was an opportunity for his family to rise.
The man was very satisfied with his daughter's performance. In noble circles, everyone knew that this General Sora was famous for liking women, and his home was full of beautiful women. This could be seen from the maids around him.
The man still had some confidence in his daughter's appearance. Although he didn't expect her to become this great general's wife, as long as she performed well and caught General Sora's eye, even if she became a maid by General Sora's side, it would be an unprecedented opportunity for his family.
The clever Aria naturally knew what her father was thinking, but she didn't object to it. On the contrary, she cooperated very well.
Looking at Sora who was chatting happily with her father, and occasionally looking at Sheele, Leone, and Chelsea, a strange arc appeared on the corner of the girl named Aria's mouth…
