Luck is a Charm

The atmosphere turns heavy when Zen starts to think of the possibility of Freya being their enemy.

However, before he could start doing some rash action like attacking her, Cecilia intervened as she projected herself outside.

"Rosewood Empyrean Family. By any chance, are you the daughter of the Patriarch who rarely shows herself in public?"

"Y-You are…. Cecilia Von Henning." Freya gasped in shock as she never guessed her idol was here.

"Indeed, I am Cecilia Von Henning but first, explain why you appeared in this tiny world."

"Uh, due to certain circumstances, I descended from the higher world to here to try and fix it. It is my honor to be able to speak with you, Sovereign Cecilia."

Freya Rosewood hurriedly bowed down while dropping the clothes covering her body.

Seeing Cecilia's reaction and nonchalant reaction when knowing her identity, Zen knew that this person or her family to be precise did not play a role in plotting against her.

Therefore, Zen starts leering every part of her body to figure out her bust size.

'Such a perfect figure to be witnessed by my very own eye.'

"Freya, instead of talking with Cecilia, we still have some more talking to do. My name is Zen Von Henning and to repay me for awakening you. Instead of bringing me to your house, be my woman now."

Hearing Zen's ridiculous remark where even Silence starts shaking his sword as he never expected him to be this straightforward.

Suddenly, the room's temperature starts rising and Zen starts feeling his back being soaked in this temperature.

Not only did the temperature rise, but it was also more intense and concentrated in Zen's position.

Turning his head around, "Cecilia, please calm down and take down your essence flame first."

"Oh, if I put away my essence flame, then wouldn't someone continue to speak rubbish," Cecilia replied with a glaring expression toward Zen.

"Haha" Laughing awkwardly, Zen tried to find a reasonable excuse to get away from this crisis.

"Cecilia, you got me wrong, and to think you failed to notice my hardship. Hear me out. If I'm Freya's lover then wouldn't we get the backing of her family and our goal would be closer."

Nodding his head to find his excuse even more reasonable, Zen held Freya's hand while she was still in a daze.

"Freya, there's a saying that once a savior, you must do your best to repay them. Now all I ask is for you to be my lover. I'm already being generous."

*Smack*

Someone couldn't handle his shameless and scoundrel way, Zen was smack far away and crashed into a wall.

That, someone, was not Freya nor Silence because Silence has been in this situation many times more shameless when he was with his former master.

It was Cecilia who couldn't control her emotions and strike him for advancing this much toward a woman he just met.

*Cough*

Walking out of the debris that crashed into him, Zen walked up with dust covering his entire clothes and face.

Shaking off the dust, Zen had a sour expression to be smack by Cecilia. He was expecting to be slapped by Freya and not his own ally.

"Um, I would repay you for this gratitude b-but this request of Zen is a bit…."

"Just say it if you never intend to repay this gratitude. Sigh, this is punishment for being the kind person I am. They would always find excuses to not repay their debt." Zen said while having a gloomy expression.

'Hehe, let's see if you can still reject me with this perfect acting of mine.'

"Just ignore this retard, Freya, I have many more questions for you but before that." Cecilia interrupts Zen's acting and flicks her hand and crystalized qi starts to form around Freya.

A few moments later, Freya is now fully dressed in blue crystalized clothes and Zen couldn't feast his eye anymore.

Zen tried to take some more advantage but became a side cast when the woman started talking about events in the higher world.

"Hahaha, Zen you totally deserve this for being unsmooth and trash speeches. Do you even know how to get a woman? I'm honestly surprised to know a female has given her body to you."

"Shut up Silence. It seems like you are too cocky right now. I order you as the master to go out and kill some depraved beasts." To avoid being shamed by Silence, Zen ruthless ordered him to do some task.

As it is a command from the master, no matter how unwilling Silence is, he has to rush outside to kill some depraved beasts.

Smirking at this outcome, Zen sat down in a corner while holding his chin up with his right hand.

'They would definitely take forever and I need to have a second addition to my beautiful harem. Cecilia, to think you are the jealous type.'

Although Cecilia has hidden her emotions perfectly, she couldn't escape his eyesight to know she has some feeling for him.

Not knowing what else he could do to waste some time, Zen decided to connect himself with Kuro to enquire about their days.

"Kuro, it's me. How is Sara doing so far?"

"M-Master, Sara is doing fine as she started the enrollment to the academy and we are now celebrating. Please stop talking to me otherwise, I can't enjoy the delicacy."

*Chomp*

'This damn Kuro is still full of food in his stupid brain cell.' Zen can't help but feel a bit lonely to have no one else to talk to.

Staring at the two-woman conversation where Freya was awestruck by Cecilia's appearance, Zen decided to lay in his back to eavesdrop on them.

"C-Can I call you Cecilia from now on?" Freya asked nervously to the idol she always dreamed of meeting.

Hearing multiple details and achievements from Cecilia in her house, she wanted to meet with her but couldn't due to her physique.

She never would have thought about meeting her in this tiny world where she has accepted her fate to be corroded by the poison within her body.

"You may call me Cecilia if you tell me what happened in the divine world."

Zen starts to perk his ear up when Cecilia mentions the divine world. 'So the higher world we always talk about is called the divine world.'

"I don't know much about the details because around the time that there was the discovery of the legacy tomb, I was forced to descend down to this tiny world. Sorry if I can't be of more help."

"It's okay since you have your own problems to fix," Cecilia said with a solemn expression because she couldn't get more information about what happened in the divine world.

"Since we all managed to meet each other in this tiny world. Then it could only be fate and Freya, you are destined to be my lover." Zen said while closing his eyes to sleep.

A blush appeared on Freya's face as she never met another male besides her father and grandpa. She didn't know that the males are always so straightforward and direct when confessing.

Cecilia couldn't handle his behavior anymore as anger aroused from her. Without knowing the reason why she fired an essence flame toward Zen which he screamed in agony.

Hearing the scream of pain, Freya and Cecilia start to laugh at Zen when he's trying his best to get rid of the tiny essence flame.
