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

Old White slowly slid the sword that Kael had brought back for him from the Lion Heart Duchy into its sheath.

"But it's not too late. Given the current situation, as long as we continue to protect Young Master Kael, there will come a day when we'll face those guys again...

One day..."

Old White murmured softly.

...

On Elanna's side.

At that moment, the red-haired knight appeared to have fallen into a deep slumber, her dreams filled with dark sword glows that seemed eager to slice apart the entire world.

When she lifted her head to look at the figure dancing with swords, she said subconsciously:

"How beautiful!"

It seemed as though the shadowy figure who had conjured up the storm of blades had heard the girl's voice and instinctively turned its head.

A cascade of snow-white hair tumbled down, making the figure look like a fairy on a snowy plain.

"If you like it... join the dance!"

The figure closed in on Elanna in an instant, as if extending a hand to invite her.

Elanna instinctively followed.

Suddenly, as if by some spell of translocation, at the moment their hands touched, Elanna immediately replaced the white-haired shadow, becoming the one dancing with the sword.

A subtle power was ignited within Elanna, sweeping through her at lightning speed, and with it, the "experience points" she had gained from clearing the Dungeon were also engulfed in that moment.

Each cold sword glow seemed to reflect the snowy river, icy and grim yet so beautiful, a mental image that came to life at that moment.

Almost instantly, a sharp and formidable power surged from within her.

Elanna opened her eyes with a complex expression, seemingly understanding why the leader of the Infiltrator legion had repeatedly said that there was someone standing behind her.

Her red lips parted slightly as a strong doubt arose in her heart:

"Lady Olivia, who exactly are you?"

[Location: The Royal Capital of the Duchy of Lance – inside a private club]

"Achoo..."

Olivia sneezed and rubbed her nose, saying:

"Is it my little cutie thinking about me again? Really, that child can be too serious sometimes, just like I used to be."

While talking, Olivia rubbed her sore nose and picked up a bottle of wine from the table, drinking it down with gusto, and then playfully teased the Fox Woman beside her.

The Fox Woman, true to her training in high-end establishments, swiftly flicked a grape with her slender finger and brought it to Olivia's mouth with a charming look in her eyes.

Olivia laughed heartily and turned to Luxius, who seemed a bit distracted, and said:

"Luxius, what's the matter with you? You're usually so capable. I heard that you picked up a cute exotic creature at a store on Joy Street. Why do you seem so out of it today?"

Luxius shook his head and said, "Can't help it, recently, I've faintly sensed the scent of war.

The thought that things I had once forgotten are about to unfold again makes me lose my mood."

As he spoke, the Magic Wand in his hand sparkled, and in an instant, he erased the memories of all the people around, except for Olivia.

Olivia shook her head and said, "I've heard a saying from the Undead that I found quite good. I'll give it to you, you fool; contemplate it yourself."

"What is it?"

"Meet the enemy with resistance, dam the water with earth."

"..."

"So, when the war really breaks out, there's no need to overthink it. Just follow the orders from the Federation, at worst you die on the battlefield..."

Luxius looked at the woman with a complex expression and finally sighed, saying:

"Do you really have no desire to return? Keeping you in the Duchy of Lance puts him under a lot of pressure."

As if Olivia heard news from Luxius about someone she didn't care much for, she put down her wine glass, sized up Luxius from head to toe, and finally said:

"Did someone send you to talk to me about this?"

"Not at all, it's just a random thought."

"Then don't speak of it again; it spoils the mood for drinking."

"Let's change the subject, then," Luxius said casually. "Your student is growing faster than I imagined!"

"Of course, aren't you aware of who I am? I am Olivia, after all. To achieve this level is only too normal for me."

"Right, let's not think about it anymore. Drink up! Let the young deal with young people's matters!"

Thinking this, Luxius's thoughts still unintentionally drifted into the distance.

I wonder how that lad Kael is doing in the Dungeon. By my calculations, he should be about ready to come out, considering the basic setup they have there.

"Lady Olivia, are you really not worried about your student encountering trouble in the Dungeon?"

Olivia downed a few more gulps of wine with a nonchalant glance at Luxius, and said casually:

"When I was her age, I had already ventured into Dungeons of this level to participate in the conquests. Many of the things that happened afterward were far more troublesome than what Elanna is dealing with now.
