Leo was genuinely happy.
He had just received one of the most precious rewards he'd ever obtained through the system: the Divine Sword Embryo.
Excitement bubbled inside his chest. Without thinking, he turned around and kissed Anne—his personal maid.
It wasn't planned.
It wasn't rehearsed.
It was just pure, instinctive joy. His lips met hers, and the kiss lasted only a moment, but the effect was instant.
Anne's face turned completely red. Her breathing halted. Her eyes rolled up slightly from the sudden shock and embarrassment—and the next second, she fainted right in front of him.
Leo panicked slightly.
"Did I… overdo it?"
He quickly caught her before she collapsed completely and gently carried her in his arms, laying her on his own bed. He pulled the covers over her, making sure she was comfortable.
Then, Leo sat down again, eyes narrowing as he opened the system screen and stared once more at the reward that had triggered all of this.
