Mixed Blessing System

After Lothur briefly got familiarized with Elke's residence, she led him to her bedroom, where, without delay, she had him lie down on her bed.

"Mmmmmm~" The two kissed as he lay beneath her, feeling the advance of this woman who seemed even more determined to be with him than in other situations.

"Elke~" Lothur tried to speak amidst his kisses with her.

"What?" She asked as she opened her eyes and started kissing the corners of his mouth, moving down towards his jaw until she got close to his left ear.

"Elke, what's the risk of someone catching us in the act? I find the idea of doing that with you here incredible, but after all, I value my life..." He laughed as his fingers went against his words, pulling off her undergarments.

She then said in his ear. "No one will enter here without introducing themselves first~"

He felt her tongue on his left earlobe, and his pupils dilated. She said. "You can rest assured. As long as we don't make any noise, nobody will ever know..."

"Really?" He smiled, not being able to hold himself in this situation. 'If the situation is so good, what can I do but accept?' Lothur looked up at the ceiling and commented in his mind.

After that, Elke did not take long to do the same thing that Annaliese had done for him on their return from the academy earlier today.

"What's that? Who did this?" Elke raised her face and then looked back.

Lothur then breathed easier after stopping what he was doing and saw the angry look on Elke's face. "What are you talking about?"

"There is a mark here, Lothur. But I didn't do any of it, so who did?" She knew that this was not a man she could keep to herself. But Elke would not simply accept every 'addition' he made!

How long would it be before he no longer had time for her if she stayed passive to his adventures?

With that thought, she could only strive to secure her place in his life!

Lothur remembered his little fun with Annaliese and said. "It must have been Anna since, besides you two, I haven't been with any others yet."

"Anna? Your sister-in-law?" Elke clenched her fists, understanding the situation.

'That bitch is doing this with her brother-in-law! I thought she was just in love, but it looks like she will soon give herself body and soul to him...' Elke significantly looked at Lothur, determined to fight with all her weapons for her position.

'I must make him realize I am worth more than she is!'

Elke then returned to what she was doing, only this time with much more enthusiasm, determined to make Lothur fall in love with her unique abilities.

'I'll have two days with him. So, I will not waste my advantage!'

Meanwhile, Lothur took a moment to return to his activities with a surprised look on his face. 'The advantage of love competitors, I would say...'

...

After a while, Lothur and Elke left her room when this woman's parents had already organized everything for their departure.

But that had not gotten in the way of whatever they did.

"Little Elke, you're blushing. Do you happen to have a fever?" Hilda asked as she placed one of her hands on her daughter's forehead.

As Lothur 'distractedly' looked at the decorations in the surroundings, Elke almost made him lose his facade in front of his in-laws. "Lothur and I were training..."

He looked wide-eyed at Elke. 'Aren't you afraid of them misunderstanding this?'

"Training? At this hour?" Gomeric casually said, remembering that these two training seemed to have promising effects on Elke's strength. 'I wonder what they do?'

"Oh?" Hilda opened her mouth in surprise as she checked her daughter's body and found that she had subtly improved. "How do you do that?" She looked at her daughter and then at Lothur.

Lothur froze at hearing this, not knowing what to say.

Elke answered her mother as she playfully laughed, "That's a secret!"

After that, Elke made her parents give up trying to understand this subject further, only having received their encouragement to keep working hard.

So, they got into a carriage and said their goodbyes before the coachman made the horses run towards the street.

"Sigh..."

"Were you trying to kill me, Elke? I almost had a heart attack!" Lothur said as he relaxed in an armchair while the redhead hugged him, resting her head on one of his shoulders.

"My parents have already approved our relationship, so why should I seek complicated excuses?" She casually asked.

"And that training thing isn't an excuse?"

She laughed and said. "We are exercising. So, in a way, we were training... Isn't that right?"

He could not refute such an argument. "That's a fact... But don't risk so much in the future. I think your parents might be understanding something wrong."

"Why?" She turned to him.

"Why? Why would they accept me like this? I think it's bizarre." He was sincere. "I know I'm too handsome, with excellent measurements, probably the most attractive man in the city. My talent is also outstanding..."

He realized that he was praising himself too much and shook his head. "Cough! Cough! Uh, even with my qualities, they only know the bad side. So, it doesn't make sense."

She laughed. "That's because I told them about the good things about you. I also told them that I'm getting stronger because of our activities. So naturally, they already had a favorable impression of you from the beginning."

Elke and Lothur had already talked about the effects on her cultivation of their almost daily fun. So, she was already sure what was causing her physical improvements.

"Is that all it is?" He asked in doubt.

"Don't worry, silly. But if you're not sure, we can wait until you firm up some business with my father, and then we'll speak the truth to them to remove that doubt from your heart." She suggested as she felt a little sleepy.

"Hmm, that will be better..."

After that, the two fell asleep while cuddled in one of the armchairs in that carriage.

...

Meanwhile, at Viktoria's residence...

"Elise, you may leave now. Have a good weekend." Viktoria said to her servant as she looked at the blonde standing beside the table where she and Karen were having tea at this instant.

"Young miss, see you on Sunday evening." Elise smiled, satisfied that she could finally follow through with her plans against Lothur.

After Elise left that place and went on with her plans, Viktoria had something important to discuss with her friend.

"Karen, I've been trying the carrot strategy with my husband, but I don't know if it's working." She said as she seriously looked at the beauty across that table. "He doesn't seem delighted by the chance I'm giving him."

"Oh?" Karen felt surprised at this, but it was not unusual for some men to be a little slower to notice some signs. "Don't worry. It's too early to tell if it's working or not. Some men need us, women, to be explicit in our signals, or they don't notice anything."

Apart from exceptions like Lothur, women generally chose their partners in this society.

Sure, a man might think he had the initiative by picking up a stranger's fallen handkerchief and think he had the initiative to approach his potential future wife. But the truth is, usually, the handkerchief was dropped on purpose!

And with countless years of this going on in this society, Karen, who had more experience than Viktoria, knew that Lothur's wife needed to drop her handkerchief in a more eye-catching way for him to notice.

"Just continue with what you've already started and make him notice the goddess he has a chance to approach if he is a good husband." She chuckled at her friend. "Soon, he will thank the heavens just for being able to be by your side!"

Viktoria's eyes sparkled as she imagined Lothur returning to her control. "I can't wait for that..."

"In any way," Karen looked more seriously at her friend. "A person from that man recently contacted me."

Viktoria's smile disappeared upon hearing such a thing, and she became solemn. "What does this person want? Doesn't he know that it is risky to maintain any kind of communication? And if they get suspicious..."

"Well, I'm only a messenger, so I don't know what's on his mind," Karen sincerely said. "Anyway, he wants to know how Lothur is doing and if you managed to send his guardian's body. They haven't received it yet..."

Lothur's guardian was an elderly woman who would not live long before they came to live in Peters City when he was still a child. Unfortunately, after his marriage to Viktoria, she died of natural causes due to her advanced age.

Viktoria had an old debt to the person behind that woman, so she had promised to take care of Lothur and send his guardian body to where it belonged.

Viktoria said to her friend. "I sent her body to the place she told me about. What can I do if something went wrong or that was a wrong address?"

"Where did you send it?" Karen asked, trying to think of what could have happened.

"The Three Great Lakes region."

"What? Are you serious?"

Viktoria nodded. "I thought it was strange too. But she confirmed to me about that place on three different occasions... Anyway, maybe that's why something went wrong. I'll see what I can do, but tell them about it."

"As for Lothur, I can meet with one of his men to talk about my husband."

"I will pass that on to him..."
