Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

"You're right. Perhaps I've been too naive about many things."

"Since you're going, make sure you display the bearing of our Inglesby family. The Federation hasn't had time to deal with other forces over these years, and some factions have gotten other ideas.

Harry, do your best and don't let others look down on you."

Their conversation was drowned in the moonlight. Watching his son, who seemingly understood something, Count Rezhe showed a satisfied expression.

After Harry returned to his room, his gaze swept toward a shadowy corner.

"Haven't you found any useful information yet?"

The writhing shadow trembled slightly before speaking in a dull tone:

"Something's not quite right. That Baron Helois doesn't seem to have come this far solely relying on Anthony's Scarlet Dream Blade. My lord, your Charles family might truly have produced a literal monster."

As if recalling something unpleasant, Count Rezhe held a chunk of molten flesh in his hand. With a slight exertion of his fingers, he pierced into the flesh.

A groan of pain came from the shadows again.

"Wait, boss, I didn't say anything... Ah!"

...

That night.

In the dormitory of the Royal Knight Academy.

Elanna rolled around in bed, unable to sleep. Her eyes involuntarily fell on the magazine she had bought from the Royal Bookstore Main Store, titled "Simple and Fun Noble Girl ～ The Master of Love and Dress-Up."

This magazine was issued monthly and sold like hotcakes in the Royal Capital.

Under normal circumstances, Elanna wouldn't have been interested in reading such a magazine.

But this afternoon, on her way back, when she passed by the bookstore, her hand acted on its own. She picked up a copy, paid for it, and then returned to the school...

Not at all because Kael was planning to go shopping in the Royal Capital's commercial street tomorrow. She just wanted to present herself better in front of her crush!

She opened the book and let out a small gasp.

"Don't wear heavy makeup, be a cute girl-next-door?"

"Classic dresses boys can't resist?"

"How to use ruffles, lace, and hairbands to express a gentle and adorable feminine charm?"

"The first impression outside of school uniforms, a brand new you to create a heart-throbbing encounter?"

"...What are these ridiculous things? What should I wear, just tell me already!"

Elanna tossed and turned, creating some noise on her bed. Her roommate, who was reading "Anatomy Charts of the Human Body" below, put down her book, looked up at the occasionally moving bed, and sighed:

"Hey, Elanna, you're a bit noisy tonight!"

Elanna's head peeked out from the edge of the bed, her wine-red hair cascading down as she looked at her roommate and friend and said:

"I didn't make that much noise!"

The knight girl below rolled her eyes unconsciously and said:

"Are you going somewhere with your crush tomorrow?"

"Wha... What crush!? Kael and I just exchanged betrothal letters!"

"Ah, right, right, just exchanged betrothal letters. I never said who your crush was!"

"Ah! If you keep this up, I'll drag you to the dueling arena!"

"Oh Elanna, for the sake of your crush, you'd even beat up your roommate? By the way, between you and Lord Kael, who's older?"

"If I remember correctly, I think he's half a year older than me," Elanna said softly.

In actuality, she knew very well. Kael's birthday was on March 10th, and hers was on September 12th. Of course, she wouldn't tell her roommate this.

It just... felt like it would make others think she was too eager.

A young girl's thoughts were like this, her heart filled with joy, wanting to tell everyone, but when the moment came to speak, she felt like a thief holding onto treasure, afraid of others coveting it.

"So Lord Kael is half a year older than you," her roommate's voice slightly rose, as if she was afraid Elanna couldn't hear it.

"What's wrong?" Elanna said, her voice faintly troubled.

"Nothing, just that compared to you, Kael seems more like an older brother." Her roommate paused before adding, "A lover, I mean."

With that, Elanna's face suddenly flushed scarlet.

"Enough! How can you, a girl, say such things without feeling embarrassed?"

"Just tell me, do you like him?"

"Jus... Jus... Kael is actually very amazing."

Her roommate was about to tease her again but suddenly paused, looking serious as she watched Elanna and said, "Your progress is this fast?"

"Come, tell me about it. I've never tasted an incubus before!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Something suddenly flew from the bed, hitting her friend's face and slowly sliding down.

Laughter filled the dormitory, their chuckles heard sporadically.

...

Meanwhile, on the forum, players were in an uproar.

The cause was a video someone posted after waking up in the afternoon.

Unlike watching in the game, the posted video could be slowed down by the players automatically.

Thus, many actions that had been unclear to those present earlier were now clearly seen when played in slow motion.
