After a long while, the two separated.
Erica leaned against Abel's shoulder, her face flushed with satisfaction.
So, next up is...
Abel turned his gaze to Liliana, who was still thinking about how to start writing her romance novel.
"Liliana?"
"Liliana?"
Abel called her name a few times, and Liliana quickly snapped out of her own world.
She immediately knelt on one knee before Abel. "I apologize, my King, I was distracted just now."
Liliana was somewhat annoyed right now. She had actually zoned out in front of her King, which was a great disrespect.
Abel smiled. "No matter. Liliana, are you willing to become my subject?"
Hearing Abel's words, Liliana was stunned for a moment. Then, she looked overjoyed. She placed one hand over her heart.
"I, Liliana Kranjcar, hereby swear. I am willing to become a subject of the Seventh King. I will become his sharp blade. I will clear all thorns before the King! I will follow his footsteps!"
Abel nodded in satisfaction.
After becoming a Godslayer, he basically had no shortage of potential Peerage members.
At this moment, Erica, who was leaning on Abel's shoulder, looked at Liliana, a smile appearing on her lips, like a fox plotting something.
"My King, shouldn't you grant Lili yout protection and a piece?"
Protection? Piece?
Liliana looked at Erica with some confusion.
What were these things?
Abel knew what Erica wanted to do. It was nothing more than wanting to see Liliana's embarrassment.
But Liliana didn't know that.
"My King, please bestow upon me your protection and a piece."
As Liliana uttered these words, Erica was ready to watch the show.
Abel smiled, stepped forward, and cupped Liliana's face.
Eh!?
So close, the King… the King's presence.
Looking at Abel, who was so close, Liliana's cheeks turned crimson, and her heart rate involuntarily quickened. She didn't know why she felt both anticipation and nervousness.
She wanted to close her eyes, but Erica's words stopped her.
"To receive the protection, you have to look into the King's eyes."
Can't close my eyes?
Liliana wanted to ask why.
Abel lowered his head and kissed Liliana.
Eh!!!?
Liliana's eyes widened.
The Sixth Incarnation—Youth.
Liliana felt a warm current flow into her body. 'Wh-what just… entered?'
This… this was her first kiss, inexplicably given to the King.
Why… why was her heart beating so fast?
After a long while, their lips parted. Liliana's eyes were a little dazed.
As the camera flash lit up, it pulled Liliana back to reality.
Liliana said indignantly, "Erica!"
Erica said with some annoyance as she looked at her phone, "Oh dear. I forgot to turn off the flash."
She quickly recovered and said, "But I've never seen Lily like this before."
Saying that, she showed off the photo she had just taken.
Liliana was fuming. She wanted material, but unexpectedly, she became the material herself.
"Erica! You actually took a picture!"
Liliana stamped her foot in embarrassment, reaching out to snatch Erica's phone.
Erica dodged nimbly, laughing as she ran behind Abel to hide. "My King, quickly protect me, Lily is going to bully me."
"I'm clearly the one being bullied, okay?!"
Abel watched their playful antics with interest. Then he lightly coughed.
"Alright, alright, stop messing around."
Liliana stopped, her face flushed as she stood still, her eyes still glaring fiercely at Erica.
"Send me a copy to see later."
"My King!" Liliana looked at Abel in disbelief.
She hadn't expected him to be such a person.
Abel ignored her indignant gaze.
Erica playfully gave Liliana a peace sign.
Then Abel summoned the Devil Reincarnation Disk. He swept it over Liliana, and then a sparkling Knight piece appeared in his palm.
Suddenly, Abel felt that it was a bit too simple. Should he add a smart voice pack?
Forget it, reincarnation first.
"Liliana, since the protection is complete, next is the piece. Are you ready?"
Liliana took a deep breath. Although her face was still flushed, she nodded firmly. "I am ready, my King."
"Alright, then by…"
"My King, let me help you." Erica left Abel's side and came to Liliana's.
Looking at her mischievous friend, Liliana felt a little flustered for some reason.
"Erica, what do you want to do?!"
"Nothing at all. Just helping the King out." Erica said, then gave a sly smile.
Erica pulled open Liliana's outer jacket from behind, exposing her skin to the air.
Speaking of which, this was the smallest Abel had seen in a long time. He feared the child would suffer in the future.
Just as Liliana was about to exclaim, a cold sensation came from her chest. Abel had pressed the Knight piece in his hand onto her chest.
"Good, it's in."
Abel watched with satisfaction as the piece merged with Liliana.
Then Liliana's body emitted a bright light, and Erica let go.
After a while, as the light dissipated, Liliana felt the newfound power within her.
It felt quite good.
[Peerage Pack +1]
"Erica! You went too far!" Liliana looked at Erica, both embarrassed and angry.
She had actually shown such an unseemly side of herself in front of her King.
"Hehe. Lili, I have something even more outrageous."
Saying that, Erica reached out and touched Liliana's wings. Feeling the pleasure emanating from her wings, Liliana quickly retracted them.
"You… you…"
Liliana was no match for the bad woman in front of her.
Abel watched this scene, finding it very amusing. However, he still stepped forward and helped Liliana straighten her jacket.
"Alright, the ritual is complete, Liliana. From now on, you are not only my subject but also my Peerage."
Liliana, her face flushed, knelt on one knee. "Yes, my King. I will certainly not fail your trust."
