Mixed Blessing System

After a while outside Annaliese's residence, Lothur finally saw that door slowly opening, making room for him to enter.

He observed that Annaliese had run somewhere soon after opening the door for him, and then he closed the door to that place and observed her fragrant, well-arranged residence.

Unlike Viktoria, who had a luxurious but rather simplistic place, Annaliese's residence was much more 'alive,' with various refined decorations and flowers here and there.

But since he had already come to this place the night before, Lothur did not pay much attention to the surroundings and just followed the sound of Annaliese's sobbing.

"Anna, why are you hiding? Do you need to do this to me?" He said in a low voice, trying to sound as friendly as possible to her.

As he wandered around that meeting room, Annaliese watched him behind her bedroom door, terrified of what she might do to him but also relieved to see him so well.

'He doesn't look hurt one bit!'

'I wonder how he does that? Maybe I should ask...'

'No!'

'If I get any more involved with him, I might lose control like I did yesterday!' She clenched her fists in concern when she finally saw him coming toward her.

"Anna, don't be silly."

"What happened yesterday was my fault. I forced you to train with me and provoked you more than I should have. It's not your fault." He finally saw where she was, noticing the nightclothes she was wearing.

Such a piece of clothing was not flashy at all, being something that covered the main parts of her body but without hiding the excellent measurements of her beautiful body.

Viktoria and Annaliese might have their particularities regarding appearance. Still, in terms of body measurements, the only distinction between the two was that the younger sister had relatively minor breasts.

But other than that, someone could easily confuse the two just by their other body measurements.

"Lothur, why are you here? You shouldn't come near me. Don't you remember the night before? That wasn't just normal training!"

"If my sister hadn't arrived in time, I don't know what could have happened!" She cried out amidst her sobs.

"There's something wrong with me!"

But Lothur was not in agreement with Annaliese's words. He pushed lightly on her bedroom door and finally used one of his hands to grab her wrist.

He then felt slight resistance from her, but he soon managed to overcome that, bringing her into his embrace. "There is nothing wrong with you."

"You did what I asked, and nothing bad happened." He hugged her waist tightly while his free hand calmly massaged her head. "We can even try that one more time..." He laughed, looking at her.

But upon hearing those words, tears dripped from Annaliese's eyes, and she finally got the courage to look into his eyes. "No, Lothur, please don't make me do that ever again!"

"You don't know how bad I felt last night because of what I did!" She melted into his arms as she had an emotional breakdown.

After this, Lothur said nothing more. He only closed his eyes for a moment and sighed deeply, understanding that it must not be easy to do what he wanted.

'It's a shame...'

'I could get a few more advances if we kept going.'

'But there's nothing to do. She seems unstable right now, and to demand that of her would not be fair.' He opened his eyes and noticed the pitying look on Annaliese's face.

Lothur then wiped the tears from one of her cheeks with his fingers and said. "All right, Anna. I won't talk about it anymore."

"I'm sorry for putting you in that position."

Annaliese then lowered her head and buried it in Lothur's chest, smelling his scent as she hugged him tightly. "I am the one who owes you forgiveness, Lothur."

"But I promise you I will never do anything to hurt you again."

Hearing this, Lothur felt Annaliese's sincerity, noticing someone showing such concern for him for the first time in this world.

'Despite everything, this family still managed to raise a good girl.' He sighed before kissing Annaliese's head, finding the concern in her words particularly interesting.

"All right, Anna."

"But now I want to talk to you about something."

"Wait!" She said this as she saw that he was about to stop hugging her. "Can we stay like this a little longer?" She spoke in an embarrassed tone.

"Oh? That's fine."

"Anyway, I'm here because I want to do the training on one of the techniques I bought at that store you referred me to."

"Uh? Have you bought anything already?" She said as she had her face laterally with his chest, with one of her ears listening to Lothur's heartbeat.

"Yes. And to train one of those techniques, I need a place with trees that can be cut. That's why I came here since I don't know where I can find such a place."

"What? That's pretty unusual." She wiped the tears from her face, already feeling much better at this instant.

But after thinking for a while, she finally answered what he wanted. "In any forest region, you can find many trees to cut down. But it might be a bit dangerous to leave the city just to train that."

"Then I suggest you visit the Cultivation House in the northern part of our city. There you will find several rooms with special formations that can help you train your technique."

"Cultivation House?" Lothur had never heard of such a place, so he was naturally curious about it.

Knowing Lothur's lack of common sense, Annaliese laughed softly and said. "The Cultivation House is the second institution in our province to offer a complete cultivation experience."

"The first is the Morning Star Academy, which also teaches its students."

"As for the Cultivation House, it doesn't teach anyone anything and doesn't demand any kind of allegiance. However, by paying for services or fulfilling missions offered by that institution, you can get access to resources and special training rooms from that place."

"Oh?" Lothur's eyes widened in surprise as he thought such a place could greatly help him in the future.

After all, unlike other students of the Morning Star Academy, Lothur did not have access to the cultivation areas of that place. And with that, the Cultivation House could offer a complementary option for his training as a cultivator.

Lothur obviously planned to change his position in that academy in the future. But for now, since he wanted to keep his skills and cultivation a secret, it would be more interesting to continue as an ordinary mortal in that institution.

Furthermore, when Lothur learned that the Cultivation House did not require allegiance, he assumed that it was comparable to mercenary guilds and likely would not require his identity.

That was just perfect for him!

'Very well, I will go to the Cultivation House tomorrow!'

'I already told Viktoria that I wouldn't be going out today because of my injuries, so if I go to that place now, I'll probably have problems with her.'

'Then I'll spend the rest of the day practicing my two techniques, and I'll settle this issue tomorrow!' He made up his mind, squeezing Annaliese even tighter into his embrace.

He then looked at Annaliese's now flushed face and sighed. 'It's just a shame she's not ready for something more intimate...'

'If she weren't so opposed to my extramarital relations, I would take her for myself right here and now.' He looked at her pink lips and lamented that it was not yet time for him to try something more with her.

And noticing Lothur's gaze, Annaliese turned her face slightly, feeling a sudden warmth in her body. But even though she thought it would be better to get away from him now, she stayed there hugging him for a few more moments.

Finally, after almost five minutes of silence, she felt her embrace with him getting looser as they finally said goodbye.

"I'm sorry you're detained because of me..."

"Don't say that. I deserve something much worse for what happened yesterday!"

"Really? Sigh, well, I hope I can return to the academy at your side Monday, Anna."

"Me too."

"Well, see you later."

"See you..."
