"Ah, Young Master, Cassius?...I'm afraid you'll be dissapointed to hear that he's not available at the moment as he's 'attending' to his adopted mother in her room." Cassius's lovely maid, Isabelle said in a fluster while she heard lewd sounds escape from her Mistress's room. "No, I'm sorry to say that you can't meet Young Master today, since he's 'helping out' his sister-in-law with some 'favours' in her garden." The innocent Isabelle excused herself as she witnessed her lady's flower being picked, instead of the rest of the flowers in the garden. "I hate to say this sir but Young Master, Cassius is currently guiding Miss Knight in the 'ways of the sword', so you can probably only meet him tomorrow." Isabelle once again blocked the guests from entering, knowing that the sword her Young Master was handling could penetrate a body, but could never wound one. "I apologise once again as Young Master is at the Capital right now teaching a class to the female students in the Academy." Isabelle said with her cheeks flushed, already knowing that her master was taking a very 'practical' lesson about human reproduction with the girls in his class. "Oh my! The King wants to meet the Young Master?...Well I guess he'll have to wait since Young Master, Cassius has gone clothes shopping with the Queen." Isabelle lied to the King himself, knowing that her Young Master wasn't shopping for clothes and was actually removing the royal clothes off the Mother of the Country. Excuses...Excuses...The loyal maid, Isabelle had no choice but to make excuses for her Young Master, who was the most talked about and hated noble on the Continent because of his depraved escapades with all sorts of woman ranging from his own Family to Royalty itself and his Tyranical rule over his estate. And to think that not too long ago he was considered a wastrel noble, who was going to drink himself to death one day. ...When did it all begin she wondered as she excitedly walked into his room to get the reward she deserved for being such a loyal made, while someone else made excuses for her this time. •°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°• [No NTR - No sharing - No system that assists the protagonist - No mind control - No drugs or potions that influence the girls - No unnecessary Drama - Incest - Harem - Hardcore Netori - Slice of Life Romance - Demigirls - Elves - Vampires - Beast Girls - Slaves - Royalty - Finally a very competent protagonist] discord.gg/ujeKWchgeb

"Ah, Jeune Maître, Cassius ?...J'ai bien peur que vous soyez déçu d'apprendre qu'il n'est pas disponible pour le moment car il 's'occupe' de sa mère adoptive dans sa chambre." Dit Isabelle, la charmante femme de chambre de Cassius, toute embarrassée tandis qu'elle entendait des bruits indécents s'échapper de la chambre de sa Maîtresse. "Non, je suis désolée de vous dire que vous ne pouvez pas rencontrer le Jeune Maître aujourd'hui, puisqu'il 'aide' sa belle-sœur avec quelques 'faveurs' dans son jardin." Isabelle s'excusa alors qu'elle était témoin de la cueillette de la fleur de sa dame, au lieu du reste des fleurs du jardin. "Je déteste vous dire cela monsieur, mais le Jeune Maître Cassius guide actuellement Miss Chevalier dans 'l'art de l'épée', donc vous ne pourrez probablement le rencontrer que demain." Isabelle bloqua une fois de plus l'entrée aux invités, sachant que l'épée que maniait son Jeune Maître pouvait pénétrer un corps, mais ne pourrait jamais le blesser. "Je m'excuse encore une fois car le Jeune Maître est actuellement dans la Capitale en train de donner un cours aux étudiantes de l'Académie." Dit Isabelle, les joues rouges, sachant déjà que son maître donnait une leçon très 'pratique' sur la reproduction humaine aux filles de sa classe. "Oh mon dieu ! Le Roi veut rencontrer le Jeune Maître ?...Eh bien, je suppose qu'il devra attendre puisque le Jeune Maître Cassius est parti faire du shopping avec la Reine." Mentit Isabelle au Roi lui-même, sachant que son Jeune Maître ne faisait pas du shopping pour des vêtements mais était en réalité en train d'enlever les vêtements royaux de la Mère du Pays. Excuses...Excuses...La fidèle femme de chambre, Isabelle, n'avait d'autre choix que de faire des excuses pour son Jeune Maître, qui était le noble le plus discuté et détesté du Continent en raison de ses escapades dépravées avec toutes sortes de femmes, allant de sa propre Famille à la Royauté elle-même, et de sa règle Tyrannique sur son domaine. Et dire qu'il n'y a pas si longtemps, il était considéré comme un noble prodigue, qui allait un jour se tuer à force de boire. ...Quand tout cela a-t-il commencé, se demanda-t-elle en entrant avec excitation dans sa chambre pour recevoir la récompense qu'elle méritait pour avoir été une servante si loyale, tandis que quelqu'un d'autre faisait des excuses pour elle cette fois. •°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°• [Pas de NTR - Pas de Yuri - Pas de partage - Pas de système qui assiste le protagoniste - Pas de contrôle mental - Pas de drogues ou potions qui influencent les filles - Pas de Drame inutile - Inceste - Harem - Netori Hardcore - Romance Tranche de Vie - Demi-filles - Elfes - Vampires - Filles-Bêtes - Esclaves - Royauté - Finalement un protagoniste très compétent]
