Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Just as they were about to step forward, the lead youth, a short one, paused when he saw Kael’s face, and cold sweat inexplicably rolled down his cheeks.

He dashed to the side of a youngster who was clutching his hand and wailing, and under Elanna’s wary gaze, he smacked him across the face while scolding him:

"I saw your petty theft just now, you little thief! People like you are ruining the reputation of the Royal Capital!"

As he spoke, he hit even harder, turning his companion’s face into a swollen mess, leaving him unable to speak.

Kael found the pickpocket’s quick-reacting companion rather amusing, ultimately just saying:

"All right, all of you come with me to the Lion Heart Battle Group."

He gave them no chance to argue back, just smiling amiably at them.

The surrounding thieves’ comrades realized something was off. Seeing that their leader wasn’t even thinking about running, they instantly knew they had hit a snag and immediately showed a servile smile and stood there, not daring to say more.

There happened to be a small squad of the Royal Capital Guard from the Lion Heart Battle Group nearby. The few people Kael was eyeing didn’t dare to run, fearing that it would give someone an excuse to kill them on the spot.

Once they were imprisoned, they would be confined for a while, and if procedures in the prison were swift enough, they might even get a decent meal.

People there also spoke very nicely, why resort to desperate resistance and then face the risk of death?

Elanna looked at Kael and couldn’t help but chuckle. She felt that Kael had been acting more frequently lately, probably even more than she had interacted physically with others over the past several years.

The funniest part was at the Lion Heart Battle Group, where the muscle-bound men of the group, after searching the thieves, found a large number of tools on them, and even six or seven fashion magazines.

Elanna looked baffled at the fashion magazines taken from each thief, even spotting a very familiar one titled "Simple and Fun Noble Girls~ The Master of Love Outfits is Me".

What’s happening? How come even thieves are now better at fashion than me? As a prospective Knight and a descendant of Nobles, am I really that unqualified?

Elanna couldn’t help but question her life choices.

Even the Lionheart Knights were amazed, with one of them asking, "Are you guys planning to become design Masters or what?"

The thief whose face was swollen mumbled, "Thieves... thieves, after all... at least need to know in which pocket the prey keeps their wallet, right?" @@novelbin@@

This unexpectedly honest admission surprised everyone.

The leader of the Lionheart Knights, experienced and knowledgeable, turned to Kael and said, "The changes in high-end fashion in the Royal Capital have been so rapid these last few years, indeed it has caused quite the trouble for these guys.

Of course, if they would just behave and do nothing, we’d be happier... After all, many of these guys have become seasoned pros in prison, sometimes we find them rather space-consuming and they eat a lot.

Faced with someone not easy to provoke, they wouldn’t want to start a fight, as Your Highness knows, the Royal Capital has always been full of strong figures. If they lose, they end up in the hospital; if they win, they go to jail, so when they meet someone strong, they just ignore everything and surrender straight away."

Kael had indeed interacted with these people before, back when he was a player, and was quite familiar with their behavior. All things considered, his interactions with them had generally been quite pleasant.

After all, these guys really knew which way the wind was blowing. Once they knew he was one of the Undead, their first reaction was to avoid provoking him, lest they continuously be haunted by some lunatic Undead, suffering casualties even outside of combat.

Kael couldn’t be bothered with these people. He wasn’t insane enough to exterminate anyone who merely provoked him. Thus, he said nothing and left the situation for the Lion Heart Battle Group to handle.

Handling such petty thieves through the Lion Heart Battle Group was the better choice. If he had to personally be splattered with blood every time he dealt with issues, he would never have time to get stronger. Read new chapters at NovelBin.Côm

Soon, as Kael and Elanna prepared to say their farewells, when Kael’s carriage stopped at the entrance of the Royal Knight Academy, he shook hands with Elanna and said cheerfully, "I look forward to the day you dress me in a suit... just not sure how sturdy that suit will be."

Kael’s words made Elanna, who had felt her face burning throughout the journey, feel even hotter.

Finally, she mumbled something incomprehensible and, in a slight panic, ran back to the student dormitories.

Underneath the dormitory, Elanna, clutching the bag containing the suit, slid slowly down against the corner of the wall, letting out a distressed moan, "Ugh... what the heck!?"

...

Meanwhile, at the Mage Academy, a fierce online debate was just beginning.

At that moment, Luxius with his icy gaze looked at one of the teachers from the three major Mage Academies of the Royal Court, and burst out shouting:

"If you had any regard for yourselves as people of the Yibel Federation, you wouldn’t stand before me saying such things. If this had been back when we were at war with the Supreme Forest, someone like you would have been taken out to be beheaded!"
