Upon leaving his room, Lothur looked at his status again, noting his improvements from his training over the past few hours.
[Name: Lothur Ritter]
[Physique: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger]
[Bloodline: ****]
[Cultivation: level 4]
[STR: 7.7] [CON: 9.3] [DEX: 6.6] [AGI: 8.6]
[INT: 30] [PER: 13] [WIL: 45.6]
He had not achieved magnificent results. Still, considering that he had only just mastered his new technique, the attribute points gained were already enough to put a smile on his face.
Those points had come from an attack technique he had bought earlier, one that specialized in close-range attacks using daggers.
[Assassin Code] [Rank: Iron]
[Mastery Level: Beginner]
[Description: combine your speed and dexterity to end the lives of those in your path with a dagger, an essential item for anyone pursuing the Assassin Code. Increases the user's Dexterity effects by 10% while operating.]
Lothur had purchased this technique because it was just what he lacked at the moment, hand-to-hand combat. Of course, he could use his ax to do such a thing, but given the size of this type of weapon, it was not as effective as something small and light in those situations.
On the other hand, Lothur felt he could carry several daggers with him, which he could not do with that other weapon, even considering his spatial ring.
And considering his combat style up until then, he felt that the use of the dagger complemented some of his current offensive abilities.
So, he took advantage of the fact that he already had some daggers that had been left by old enemies and learned such a technique based on this valuable weapon in surprise and close-range attacks.
Anyway, while he was smiling due to his satisfaction for having learned another technique and improved his stats, Lothur finally met up with Annaliese.
Upon arriving in front of his sister-in-law's residence, he did not have to wait long and was soon greeted by that woman who looked more beautiful than ever.
After being greeted at the front door of Annaliese's house by her, Lothur was momentarily stunned. Because at this moment, such a woman looked much more beautiful and mature than she usually did, almost to the point that he mistook her for Viktoria.
Annaliese wore a red dress that went down to her knees, enhancing her breasts and making them appear larger than they were. At the same time, such clothing highlighted the 'healthiest' part of her body, her hips.
When Lothur saw her, he slowly watched her from head to toe, past her delicate toes, her crystal shoes, her slender ankles, to her beautiful face.
Seeing Annaliese's red lips and slightly flushed face, Lothur felt like bringing her closer to him and kissing her right then and there. Unfortunately, there were a few servants in the vicinity. If he did such a thing, that would probably be his end!
"Anna, you look more beautiful than ever..." He said in a low voice as he showed one of his arms to her, indicating her to follow him.
Hearing that, Annaliese felt a warmth rise from deep within her body, pleased at such a compliment. "You are more striking than ever..." She crossed one of her arms with Lothur's, already walking beside him toward the exit of that place.
"I just hope other women don't covet my date tonight..." She joked with him as she looked at Lothur, feeling that he actually looked more charming in those clothes.
Usually, Lothur did not dress badly. After all, the uniform of the Morning Star Academy was not bad. However, Annaliese was not used to seeing him in such distinguished attire, clothes that perfectly matched his first-level appearance.
And sensing the strong masculine smell that his body exuded, Annaliese could not help but blush and remember their previous actions.
Gulp!
'I don't know if it was a good idea to do this with him tonight...' She felt nervous, her heart pounding as she finally got into her carriage. 'But now that I'm here, I can't back out!'
'I can definitely spend a night with my brother-in-law without anything happening!'
'I'm rational, and I just got a promotion! There's no way Lothur can mess with my mentality now!' She smiled internally, confident in herself.
...
5 minutes later...
"Mmmmmmm~"
"Lothur~ We shouldn't do this~"
Annaliese said this in a breathless tone, still with her lips connected to Lothur's, as the two embraced inside that carriage.
Sensing that they should stop, Lothur tried to ignore his sister-in-law's attractive perfume and taste, relaxing his embrace. "Hmm, we're almost at the auction now. We really must behave..."
He then smiled at her and straightened his slightly messy clothes, satisfied that his sister-in-law's desires were the same as his.
After days since they had last kissed, Lothur had never touched the subject or tried any other advances against her. But on this occasion, after they had gotten into that carriage, Annaliese sat next to him and acted as if she was giving him permission to step forward.
And like someone who would not forgive even his sister-in-law, Lothur wasted no time and had brought her into his arms, having spent most of the drive to the auction building kissing her.
"Lothur, you are so sinful!"
"What will you do if my parents find out?"
"I guess we'll have to get married..." He smiled at her.
Hearing that, Annaliese did not think it was a bad idea and just joked with him. "For that, you would have to stay alive. But I don't think you will last long while you have these thoughts of having two sisters simultaneously."
Lothur said nothing more after that since they had just arrived at the building where the evening auction was to take place.
With that, soon after a servant opened the door to Annaliese's carriage, Lothur was the first to get out, then he helped his sister-in-law down the steps.
After that, the two walked side by side down a long red carpet, with Annaliese holding one of Lothur's arms.
As they did so, dozens of people in the surroundings of that place who were watching the illustrious people arriving at this occasion started looking at those two.
"Wow!"
"Look at that goddess over there!"
"She is adorable!"
"My god, I would give anything for a night with her!"
"Haha, you can dream about it!"
"Look at the person next to her. With a man like that on her side, no woman would look at someone like you..." A young woman said this to the person from before while looking with interest at the most handsome man she had ever seen.
At the same time as laughter sounded around, VIP guests from tonight's auction were also walking down that red carpet, where those ordinary people were observing the surroundings.
This auction house had two levels. One for special guests, prestigious and resourceful people. And another for ordinary individuals that could buy reserves.
Those many people on the outskirts of where Lothur was passing by now were those waiting to enter the standard level of that auction house. In contrast, the entrance, where people were walking down a beautiful red carpet, was where the VIP guests went through.
So, not only was that couple passing by at that moment, but several other guests that had arrived at the same time as them were heading towards the interior of such a building.
And with the commotion in the surroundings, it was not long before two beautiful women, one blonde and one redhead stepped up a notch and approached Lothur and Annaliese.
"Looks like this older brother is stealing all the attention for himself... How boring..." The blonde woman said this as she smiled playfully at Lothur and Annaliese.
"Ah, but it's not unfair. He truly does have a different aura." The redheaded beauty, dressed in a black outfit, commented in a low voice as she winked at Lothur before finally introducing herself. "My name is Nora, and this is my friend, Caroline."
Seeing those two beauties approaching them, Annaliese was not slow to identify their origin. "So you are Miss Frohberg and Miss Waldauer..."
Nora Frohberg was someone from Sector 4 of the Morning Star Academy, also the daughter of the current head of the city, the leader of House Frohberg. On the other hand, Caroline Waldauer, also from Sector 4, was part of the Waldauer family, the organization that ruled the Linn Province on behalf of House Leopoldine.
Because of such a background, even though they were not her classmates in any of their classes, Annaliese soon recognized them.
"Hehe, Annaliese, who is your escort? I don't remember anyone so impressive at your side..."
"He wouldn't happen to be your future fiancé, would he? That would be a shame." The young blonde, Caroline, said in a provocative tone.
