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

"At that time, I managed to survive, so now, whether it's for Kael or for my little darling at home, survival should be much smoother, and there is no need for much worry," he said.

Luxius nodded and said no more.

He reflected on the many disasters experienced during the rise of the Bell Federation and was amazed that these did not cripple the federation but instead united it more strongly.

However, on the other hand, through Olivia's casual remarks, he glimpsed the early disputes and chaos within the Bell Federation.

Unexpectedly, at that time in the early days of the federation, Olivia, who was then just of an age to be his student's fiancée, had already been personally involved in the battles.

In the end, he could only sigh often and hope that everything was going well on Kael's end.

After all, to be honest, he really couldn't rest easy in such situations.

"Relax, we didn't just recklessly let that child participate in battle. I've left her something, so even if a little problem arises, it's nothing... Huh???"

Olivia paused, her expression slightly confused.

Seeing Olivia's perturbed look, Luxius's expression grew tense:

"An accident hasn't happened, has it?" he asked.

"An accident did actually happen..." Olivia muttered.

Luxius couldn't stay seated any longer; he immediately stood up and said, "Lady Olivia, I must step out for a moment."

"Don't rush, don't rush. Sit down and have a drink; an accident isn't necessarily a bad thing," she said.

"It's a good thing?" he asked.

"Guess!" she replied.

Luxius turned and left.

Olivia then shouted, "What's the rush, really! It's genuinely a good thing. Sit down, have a drink, and wait for your student to bring you good news."

Hearing what Olivia had said, Luxius gave her a skeptical look.

Then he saw Olivia sipping her wine contentedly, her expression one of complete satisfaction, and much of his inner conflict dissolved. He turned around, sat down, and said with a smile, "If it's a good thing, that's wonderful, truly wonderful."

"You worry too much, you know about your student's capabilities, don't you?

This time going into the Dungeon, he was fully armed to the teeth. Unless, like what happened to us, there was bizarre divine intervention, failure would be hard," she said.

Hearing Olivia mention the past, Luxius frowned and his Manipulation magic didn't stop, simply blocking out the sensory perception of the servants bringing them water, tea, and peeling grapes. Then he whispered, "What actually happened back then? I was still studying at the Royal Court, and I heard it was a big deal."

"It's nothing big; simply put, there was a god who didn't want us to get hold of certain things from the Dungeon, so they interfered," she explained.

"With Lady Olivia's capabilities at the time, you must have won in the end," Luxius said with a smile.

This was not flattery. Knowing Olivia's reputation as a prodigy within the Bell Federation back then surpassed even his own fame later.

In fact, even looking back now, Luxius could not claim with certainty that he could have beaten Olivia at that age.

Not to mention, Olivia's team back then included old veterans and top geniuses.

Luxius truly couldn't think of a reason why Olivia and her team would have lost.

However, what responded to Luxius was a long silence.

Olivia drained her glass in one gulp and then said softly, "No, we lost."

Luxius's face showed a hint of perplexity, and after a moment, his eyes sharpened:

"Are you joking?" he asked.

No joke. If we had won, how could I possibly be in the Duchy of Myrelands?" Olivia said with a self-deprecating laugh, "What, we can't lose?"

"So, does this mean... that the incident rumored in the Royal Court was true?"

"Yes, it's true. Many people died in that Dungeon... Haven't you noticed that the prodigies who entered the Dungeon with me have not been seen by the public in seventy or eighty years?"

"How could that be..." Luxius murmured.

"Why couldn't it be... That was the zenith of the Divine Favored, still favored by the gods after the Saints descended, heh...

The Four Gods' Divine Favored, synchronously descended, apparently holding us in high regard!

Did you not realize that from a hundred to fifty years ago, there was a complete generational break in the talents of the Bell Federation?"

"I thought at most some died, and others were gravely injured, currently resting at home and waiting for a further breakthrough..."

"Luxius, don't play dumb. You actually should have realized it; your rapid growth and breakthrough occurred shortly after the demise of the previous generation's prodigies."

Luxius stayed silent for a long while before saying, "I ultimately couldn't believe such speculation; even some of the seniors I greatly respected were among you."

"Did you think the 'Federation Star' project was so hastily launched for nothing... Luxius, let me give you a piece of advice."

"I'm listening."

"If one day we have to be enemies with some gods, remember... if you encounter a Divine Favored of the enemy, never assume you're a Magic Monarch.

Use all your might to obliterate them before the Saints can descend, else, what I do every day, drowning my sorrow in drink, will inevitably be your fate too," she advised.
