When I Reincarnated as the Villain of a Game World, I Created a Harem and Broke the Protagonist's Heart and Efforts!

Chapter 17 : One Month Later

A month had passed since the day of the inspection.

After the events in the entrance hall, I reported the inspection to my father and obtained permission to make Lilia, Lulua, and Serena my exclusive maids.

Of course, I also informed my father that I had purchased Serena as a slave, but he only cautioned me to be careful with the treatment. Being the Empire’s Prime Minister, he understood the laws well and didn’t outright deny it.

Quite different from someone else we know.

While Lilia, Lulua, and Serena became my exclusive maids, their duties as maids were minimal. However, given their personalities and appearances, bringing them into my harem was the main reason, and having them as exclusive maids was just an excuse to keep them close.

So, basically, they stayed by my side or engaged in activities as they liked.

Lilia seemed to be trying to use her Saintess related powers for my benefit. When alone, she often reads books about saints and magic. Lately, she had been practicing by healing injuries and illnesses of the mansion’s maids and butlers. However, when asked about using magic on the butlers, she replied,

“I belong to my master, so I try to avoid touching other men as much as possible.”

It was a statement that satisfied my possessiveness, so I rewarded her with a deep kiss, which surprised her, given her usual proactive and unyielding demeanor.

In contrast to Lilia, Lulua actively engaged in various training to enhance her powers and change her helpless self. Following the words spoken during the slave auction, I assisted Lulua in her training, deciding on training routines, correcting small habits, and participating in simulated battles. She not only did what I asked but also took the initiative in doing things herself. In just a month, she had reached the level of the knights of the Heaville Ducal House, known for their high skills among the knights of the kingdom.

However, the rate at which she improved was extraordinary and unimaginable for an ordinary person. Although there shouldn’t have been a character named Lulua in the original work, I should be cautious.

While dedicating herself to training, as the training sessions grew longer, Lulua began to adopt an attitude toward me as a mentor or instructor. This made her ponder on how to appeal to me as a woman, and I often saw her consulting her sister Lilia about it.

“Nee-san… I’ve been interacting with Lord Wraith in a more teacher-student like way recently. I’m not sure how to appeal to him as a woman anymore…”

“I see. It’s okay; I’ll teach you properly. The best way to appeal to Lord Wraith as a woman is…”

“The best way is…?”

“To push him down.”

Lilia said with a beaming smile.

“Eh…!?”

“Since Lord Wraith is a man, there’s no better way to appeal. Once you cross that line, he’ll love you even more. Don’t worry; when Lulua decides to push him down, I’ll help.”

“W-wait, Onee-san!?”

It seemed they continued the conversation, but that’s all I heard. I realized that Lilia was more of a carnivorous type than I had initially thought. I decided to be cautious for a while.

Lastly, Serena had changed the most in this month. Well, not changed, but rather, she became more aligned with my desires.

Even if she’s a vampire, her appearance wouldn’t dramatically change in just a month. So, what changed?

“Oh? Is today’s training already over?”

It was her tone.

At first, she used polite language opposite to the impression I had of her, but as she spent more time with me over the month, she seemed to have understood my preferences and desires better. Recently, she claimed to be speaking in her natural tone.

Even so, in the presence of Lilia, Lulua, Leviana, and anyone else besides me, she spoke in the same polite manner as before. Thanks to this, Serena was highly regarded within the mansion, but since I had only informed others that she was my exclusive maid, I often witnessed young male servants giving her inappropriate glances. It was unpleasant, but I let it go for now. If they tried anything, I would make them disappear.

Thinking about this, I closed the door and took a seat on the sofa where Serena was sitting.

“Are you ignoring my question?”

“You should know even if I don’t say anything.”

“That’s true.”

Saying that, Serena stabbed her fangs into my offered arm and began to suck blood.

This was something that had changed or, rather, something new she started doing in the past month. Vampires, true to their name, could suck blood. There were various meanings to this act, but the current bloodsucking held a sense of affection. Well, it meant that our relationship had progressed to some extent. We hadn’t reached the point where she was completely mine, though.

Even so…

“Chu chu…”

“…..”

Cute.

While Serena usually gave off an adult impression, when she sucked blood, she seemed incredibly childish. This gap was tremendous, and I couldn’t help but stare at her when she was having a satisfied expression on her face.

As I watched Serena suck blood from my arm, there were three knocks on the door.

“Hmm…”

Serena quickly detached herself from my arm when she heard the door knock.

Who dares to interrupt my blissful time?

Thinking that it might be important, I let the person enter.

“Come in.”

“Excuse me…!?”

Due to my irritation, my magical power overflowed causing ripples in the atmospheric mana making it uncomfortable for normal humans to stay in.

The maid who entered the room trembled at the sight.

“What do you want?”

“Yes. Umm, The Lord has called for you. He has something to discuss.”
