Goki playfully flicked the little maid's nose, half-jokingly.
"Be careful, I might just drag you off to serve me in bed, you know? You're not as strong as I am—I'm not interested in Platinum, but I'm very interested in you, oh?"
Of course, the truth was, Goki was very interested in both Platinum and Gravel.
Don't ask. If you ask, everyone is his wing, and this little home is his Goki's harem—just thinking about it.
Goki knew that although many shy and surprised glances had passed by the window, in the end, Gravel was the one who stayed by the window the longest and watched the most intently.
Although he hadn't initially intended for Gravel to become a maid, Goki had to admit that he had grown accustomed to her help.
If Margaret was a Genius in combat, then Gravel was a Genius in housework, making one wonder if she was completely unsuited to be a Knight blocking purple arrows, and instead excelled above all others in maid skills.
In less than a month, her cooking skills were not much worse than Goki's, and when Goki was not home, she handled the housework meticulously, truly an excellent and capable assistant, far superior to a mere maid!
However, Gravel's next words were a somewhat strange reply.
"Yes, how should I put it, the Master and the Mistress's love is in full bloom, but… I'm not exactly an honest maid."
Gravel extended her soft, pink tongue and licked the corner of her mouth.
"Having an affair with the Master behind the Mistress's back, then successfully rising to power by having the Master's child, and finally becoming the new Mistress—such a story is quite classic, isn't it?"
Under the black cuff, a slender hand with a faint tan gently pressed against Goki's chest. Gravel looked up, her voice full of seduction, and her pink eyes seemed to hold endless tenderness.
"If you, Master, insist on using force, then I can only be forced to submit, oh—you should know that I received professional training when I was young, and I'm much more skilled at kissing than Miss Skadi, you know?"
Although she said "forced," for some reason, Gravel's tone was full of temptation, as if she was genuinely enticing Goki.
These past few days, Cenomi had completely adapted to life by Goki's side. The stable days hadn't lasted long, but she found that she had completely forgotten the humiliation of being a slave, the hardships of wandering, and the fear of being used as a sacrifice.
To be honest, Cenomi had completely fallen into this ordinary daily life: the simple Skadi, the upright Margaret, and the mysterious Shining and Nightingale… Of course, most importantly, her gentle and handsome Master. Since childhood, Gravel had fantasized about a Prince Charming saving her from her suffering. Although in the end, she ran out herself, in a sense, Goki was indeed her Prince Charming.
At the same time, Cenomi knew for sure that her "Master" was no ordinary person. He was tracking down those fanatical cultists and had caused quite a stir.
And soon, they would embark on their final battle. Cenomi wasn't worried that they would fail; in her eyes, Goki was almost omnipotent.
What she worried more about was that this was just a brief beauty… which would eventually end.
"Alright, whether you're skilled or not, I don't know. And you're still talking? You made my teeth ache last time. Now, if you don't get a running start and jump, you won't be able to kiss me, you know?"
Goki lowered his head, bared his teeth at the Little Maid who was forty centimeters shorter than him, and reached out to pat her small head.
"Don't worry, as long as you're willing, our employment can continue indefinitely."
"Hmph, perverted Master, do you really want me to keep playing the maid role?"
Hearing Goki's words, Cenomi's pink eyes instantly lit up, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
"Alright, alright, I need to go discuss serious matters first—but tomorrow, you must stay home obediently, understand?"
"Mm, then go work hard. I'm going to wash the dishes, Master~~"
Watching Goki walk into the main house, Cenomi couldn't help but give a small jump of joy on the spot.
Of course, she didn't want to take over and become some boring Mistress. It's just… being a maid isn't necessarily worse than being a Knight, is it?
Cenomi believed that as long as Goki was by her side, good days would always exist.

"So slow, you're so slow, Goki. Do you know how much effort it took me to trick those two Sarkaz women away—it's a good thing they said they wouldn't be home tomorrow, so it'll be easier for you and the old man to act."
In the reception room Goki had tidied up, sat four cute Little Kuranta. Seeing Goki enter, one of them, Zofia, immediately stood up indignantly and, as usual, began to scold him.
"The Armorless Union guests have already finished one meal, and you still haven't called Skadi out. What are you dawdling for…"
Looking at Goki somewhat nervously, Zofia, who was usually radiant, appeared a bit reserved today, her gaze darting about.
After seeing the hickey on his neck, the Whipblade Knight couldn't help but swallow.
"What was I doing? Didn't you just see it? Don't pretend. The three of you, once someone has seen me, I'll never forget their gaze in this life—"
Stretching out his large hand, he gently pulled Zofia's golden Kuranta ear. Goki's words carried a hint of teasing, but this time, he wasn't chased and beaten by Zofia with the whip at her waist.
On the contrary, the three golden-haired Little Kuranta in the living room simultaneously bent over, covering their flushed faces.
"I told you, Aunt, we'd definitely be found out."
"Exactly, and you're still talking, Aunt. I was just curious to take a look, but you insisted on dragging me to watch until the end."
"Who said I watched until the end… Alright, let go quickly! It was my fault!"
The combat power of the three Little Kuranta was approximately zero, and soon, they spilled the beans about secretly watching Skadi and Goki's intimate moment.
"Alright, I don't have time to say anything—alright, Miss Black Iron Great One, I believe that Armorless Union handles things decisively, so you just need to tell me where it is."
Looking at the female Kuranta assassin, who was different from the Nearl Family, with deep black hair, appearing extremely capable and exceptionally calm, Goki nodded in greeting to her.
The Black Iron Great One, one of Armorless Union's highest leadership, several of Kazimierz's most excellent assassins—however, these were no longer important matters.
"You are indeed extraordinary, so I will skip these formalities and get straight to the point."
The black-haired Armorless Union assassin Great One took a deep breath and looked at Goki seriously.
Members of Armorless Union always do as much as they are paid, and this time, they had almost all turned out—the money offered by the other party was simply too much.
Moreover, behind this individual stood the entire Surveillance Court. Although she didn't know the purpose of their search for a tomb, the Black Iron Great One knew that the Grand Knight Territory was likely to have big news.
"We have found the place you wish to go, but there are some questions that are best asked in advance…"
The Black Iron Great One was clearly more interested in this man who had taken Platinum away.
"You know, getting from the deck of the mobile city to the bottom, through the forbidden power zone, and digging a hole in the ground is not an easy task—we must bribe the engineers responsible for maintaining the passages in the city, design the most efficient and quickest invasion route, and the bottom armor of the power zone must have the most professional dismantling equipment…"
Thus, Goki finally learned where the Knight King's last battle and resting place were.
Both "beneath the feet" and "the earth," that most sacred and most insane tomb, was… beneath the tracks of the mobile city!
"No construction team needed, we have… Skadi."
Looking at the somewhat astonished Black Iron Great One, Goki nodded, full of confidence—there was no one better suited for demolition than the Little Orca!
"Then… let the battle begin, tomorrow, when the finals start!"
Looking out the window at the few planets aligned in a linear fashion in the night sky, Goki nodded and curved his lips into a smile.
The enemies and target were confirmed, the allies were already in position, and the war against the gods would now begin!
