“So, ……, you’ve been sneaking into my mansion to seduce me?”

“…………”

Shirley Elladine’s lips twitched in silence at Raidorl’s dumbfounded words.

Earlier, Shirley had been naked for the night crawl, but now she borrowed clothes from a maid working in the house and wore them.

The simple commoner’s clothes were out of place on the well-bred Shirley, but the situation was such that no one mentioned it.

“Shirley, you are disrespectful to His Highness!　You need to change your attitude!”

Sven sits next to Shirley in his chair, his eyebrows raised in anger.

His tone of voice, a little more violent than the one he used with Raidorl, was that of a boy of his age, as if he were scolding his younger sister for misbehaving.

As for the relationship between the two, it seems that they are childhood friends who have known each other for a long time.

The Earls of Arbeil and the Barons of Elladin are members of the same “Eastern Eight” noble families, and their territories are close to each other, so they were close friends.

Shirley, who is three years younger than Sven, has grown up like a brother and sister, with her father often taking her to visit the Count’s house.

There may or may not be an agenda for the future. But the possibility has disappeared now that the Earls of Arbeil have fallen and the Barons of Elladin have turned to the Empire.

“Because …… I thought if I didn’t, I’d lose my house and I wouldn’t be able to afford the luxuries …….”

At Sven’s reprimand, Shirley opened her mouth reluctantly.

Raidorl wondered where the seductive tone and atmosphere had gone. Shirley’s body shrunk, now she’s suited to a young girl in her own right.

“But that doesn’t mean you can’t seduce His Highness. ……”

“Well….but Sven, I’ve been wondering for a while now, how did this little brat get into the house?”

The mansion where Raidorl, a member of the royal family and a general in the army, sleeps is naturally guarded day and night by soldiers who guard the gates and patrol the premises.

It’s not possible to let anyone in without permission, no matter how much of a child they are.

“It is …… likely that she used her witch eye.”

“Witch eye?”

At Sven’s reply, Raidorl nodded his head.

The “magic eye” is literally an eyeball filled with magical power, and is a special ability possessed by some demons.

In the past, Raidorl has fought the Gorgon with the petrifying eye and the Basilisk with the deadly poisonous eye, both of which he remembers as being difficult enemies to defeat.

In rare cases, humans can develop the evil eye, but he never expected to see it in person.

“This girl has the magical eye of ‘charm’. She has the ability to amplify the feelings of affection that are directed at her and make them captivating.”

“Charm, huh……”

Raidorl thought back to the time when Shirley had crawled on him earlier in the night.

In the darkness of the night, both of Shirley’s eyes seemed to glow with a golden light, apparently emitting magical power.

“Perhaps he gained access to His Highness’s bedchamber by capturing the soldiers guarding it.”

“…… If that’s true, it’s terrifying. If she had been an assassin, his Highness might have been in danger.”

Darren, who was listening to the conversation next to Raidorl, murmured bitterly.

As the man in charge of the security of the house, the power of the magic eye, which can easily neutralize soldiers, must be a threat.

However, Sven slowly shakes his head at Darren’s concern.

“No…… although the evil eye is a rare ability, Shirley’s power is not that strong.The girl’s eyes only increase the affection and desire directed towards her, so they do not work on people who do not like her at all. And it won’t work on children like me, and it will be rejected by sorcerers and other people with strong magical resistance.”

“Oh, I see. So that’s why it didn’t work on me.”

Raidorl has no tendency for lusting after young girls and, thanks to the protection of his holy sword, he has high magic resistance. There is no room for the magic eye ability to affect him.

Shirley was able to reach Raidorl’s sleeping quarters because she was lucky enough to have her magic eye work on a security soldier she happened to encounter.

“……Wait a minute. By that logic, you’re saying that some of the soldiers on night duty today have a tendency for lusting after little girls?”

“Uhhh…”

Sven looked away awkwardly and slurred his words when Darren asked him with a frown.

Darren’s shoulders slumped in disappointment at the revelation of his subordinate’s bad habits.

Raidorl glanced at Darren with a sympathetic eye and then quickly turned his attention back to Shirley, who was sitting uncomfortably in her chair.

“Well, …… the question is, what do we do with her?”

“Hyan…….”

Shirley’s shoulders jerked up.

It may have been childish recklessness that led her to do the trick, but in all likelihood what she did was a crime punishable by death.

She tried to manipulate Raidorl, a royal family member, with her magical eye, and that cannot be forgiven.

Sven intervenes as the young girl’s eyes starts to tear up.

“Your Highness!　It may be rude of me to say this, but please be gracious to Shirley as she has no ill will towards you ……!”

She can be considered Sven’s sister, with whom he spent most of his childhood, although their relationship was severed when Baron Elladin turned to the Empire.

He stands in front of Raidorl and tries his best to defend her.

Raidorl smiled at the sight of such a small frame boy.

“Don’t worry, I won’t kill her, her powers will come in handy sooner or later.”

For now, it may only be for those who have a taste for little girls now, but when Shirley grows up and becomes a woman in her prime, there will be many people who will be captivated by her eyes.

As an investment in the future, it is not a bad idea to forgive the sins of Shirley Elladine, a young girl, and bring her to his side.

“It is inevitable that the Barony of Elladin will be destroyed and its lands taken from it, but if you surrender quietly, you will be guaranteed your life and property. If you show your strength and value under me, you will be able to rebuild your house.”

“………… Really?”

“Yup,I assure you.”

Raidorl nodded emphatically at Shirley, who looked up at him.

She must have been relieved by Raidorl’s juudgement. Then she laughed like a flower blooming.

“All right, ……, then I’ll be your servant. I’m sure I can persuade my father to do the same.”

“I see ……and one more thing, what’s this husband of yours, by the way?”

“Eh? Are you going to make me your mistress? Does this mean you’ll groom me to your liking?”

“………..”

At Shirley’s reply, Raidorl fell silent,dumbfounded and slowly turned his head towards Sven.

“…… I’ll talk to this girl myself.”

“Please.”

Apparently, he has increased the work of the boy warrior again.

Raidorl turned his pity on Sven, who looked a little sick.

And so it was that the second of the traitors of the Eight Eastern Families, the Barons of Elladin, surrendered without a fight.
