"Help!"

"Someone, please save me! I've been violated!"

"Quick, someone come!"

"..."

Phyllis shouted with all her might, and though her voice was urgent, it was as melodious as a nightingale, pleasing to the ear and uplifting to the spirit.

So much so that Kellen wanted to hear more of her beautiful voice.

"Cough... Why isn't anyone coming in?"

Because she had shouted so much, Phyllis's voice had become hoarse.

She looked up at Kellen, her eyes filled with disbelief, and only then did she understand why he had been smiling all along.

Kellen's lips curled up slightly. "Why?"

Kellen's hands didn't stop moving, and while Phyllis was calling for help, he was enjoying her exquisite body.

The soft touch was delightful, and the fullness of the feeling was hard to forget. Her figure was truly exceptional.

He squeezed her forcefully. "Naturally, it's because of the soundproof scroll. Miss Clever Phyllis should know what it does, right?"

A soundproof scroll was a simple spell that, when activated, created a sound barrier within a certain range. The only drawback was that the soundproof effect had a time limit.

"Hmph~" Phyllis first groaned in pain, ignoring her discomfort. She asked in astonishment, "How did you know about my plan?"

Even at this moment, she still used "I" instead of "we."

One had to admit that Phyllis was an outstanding girl. Even in this extreme situation, she could maintain a certain level of rationality.

"It's simple, Princess Hilna told me. You must be surprised," Kellen said with a grin.

"Impossible!" Phyllis's pupils contracted, and for a moment, she believed Kellen's words, and the rational strings began to gradually collapse.

Because only the two of them knew about this plan, and if Kellen had already figured it out, it meant that there was a problem with one of them.

No!

This was illogical. Princess Hilna had no benefit in betraying her.

Hilna wanted to get rid of the restless giant that was the Kate family to pave the way for her own ascension. Their interests, as loyal subjects, were aligned.

"You're lying. Princess Hilna would never betray me," Phyllis shook her head repeatedly, denying it.

At this point, Kellen was actually quite fond of Phyllis. It would be a waste to just treat her as a slave and plaything.

To torment the enemy both physically and mentally while making her work for him, would that not be more pleasurable?

"If it wasn't Hilna, guess how I learned about this information?" Kellen didn't directly reveal the truth. He freed one hand and held Phyllis's fair chin. "First, falsely accuse me of violating you and lock me up. Then, assassins come to visit, causing chaos. And then, take this opportunity to strike at my family's business and cut off the main economic source of the Kate family. Hmm, I believe this was your plan, wasn't it?"

At this point, Phyllis finally became a little scared. Her body couldn't stop trembling.

She couldn't understand how Kellen learned about their plan, and he knew it in such detail.

In her eyes, Kellen was no longer the useless noble scion he had been. He suddenly became mysterious and unpredictable.

The pressure he brought upon her was no less than that of Hilna. Instinctively, she began to fear Kellen.

Without surprise, Hilna was waiting outside the door for her signal, but because of the soundproof scroll's sound barrier, the people outside couldn't hear the sounds from inside.

So until Hilna noticed something was wrong, she wouldn't push the door open.

"This time, it's my fault. You can do whatever you want," Phyllis said, putting her hands flat on the table, exposing her delicate body in front of Kellen, the glimmering fairness dazzling the eyes.Under the close distance of their skins, she didn't even have time to cast a spell. Now she was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

However, this little lamb wanted to gamble once more.

She didn't give up; she used her body as her last weapon, betting that Kellen couldn't resist her temptation.

If Kellen couldn't control his desires and gave in, it wouldn't be a matter that could be resolved quickly. Once Hilna noticed something was wrong and walked in, she would discover the absurd affair between the two, thus confirming Kellen's guilt.

This was a conspiracy.

What she needed to do was sacrifice her purity and innocence. As long as Kellen wasn't a true playboy, victory would be hers.

"Just treat it as being bitten by a dog, there's nothing to be afraid of. You can do it, Phyllis," Phyllis clenched her fist and bit her lip, trying to calm herself down, but her trembling body betrayed her.

"While it's true that you have qualities that make my heart flutter, I don't want to forgive you so easily. If I'm not mistaken, your family's territory is right next to mine.

How about I take over your territory, kill your parents and grandparents under the guise of eliminating bandits?" Kellen said this as he gently caressed Phyllis's face, seemingly asking for her opinion in a kind-hearted manner.

"You are a devil, a demon!" Phyllis accused Kellen's actions desperately.

"Hey, that's going too far. If I hadn't discovered your plot in advance, shouldn't it have been your family taking over mine?

The ones who killed my family and seized our properties aren't you, the beautiful Countess's daughter?" Kellen played with her hair as he stated the facts.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. You can do whatever you want to me, but please don't hurt my family. They have no idea about what I've done," Phyllis quickly held onto Kellen's hand and begged. She knew that what Kellen said was true, he had the ability to take over his own territory.

Even the current Grand Princess couldn't help her against the invasion from the Kellen family.

Her family was her weakness. Once it was targeted, she would lose everything. This weakness was something Kellen learned about in his previous life through a coincidence.

Estimating the time Hilna would break in, Kellen seriously said, "Letting you go is possible, but you have to work as a spy for me by the Grand Princess's side. When necessary, you will help me harm her.

If I want to bully her, you will be responsible for bringing her to my bed. How about it, can you do it?"

Phyllis, tears in her eyes, repeatedly shook her head. The consequence of betraying Hilna wouldn't be any better than Kellen's threat.

Seeing this, Kellen sighed helplessly, "Miss Phyllis, you are a clever person. Let me ask you this: who is the most suitable person to become king in the situation where the King is gravely ill and the kingdom is in chaos?"

Phyllis: "The Grand Princess?"

Kellen helplessly held her face and said, "Of course it's the sole heir of the powerful Kate family, me, Kellen Kate."

Phyllis: "??"

Phyllis: "!!!"
