There Is No More Empress, Just Stay Here With Me

Thinking of this, Lakeman's palm was about to slip off Hancock's delicate face and fall downward. But at Hancock's slender neck, his palm stopped.

"?"

There was a trace of confusion and surprise in Hancock's eyes. The middle-aged woman had used her two younger sisters as a threat, forcing her to give in and be ready to lose everything. The image designed by the middle-aged woman fit Hancock's character and temperament perfectly, making it effortless for her to act.

And this image, as expected, hit the strike zone of the Celestial Dragon in front of her. From the first time he saw her, this Celestial Dragon's eyes were as hot as flames, and he seemed ready to transform into a beast and take her inch by inch.

To facilitate the Celestial Dragon, Hancock was also ordered to wear another set of things underneath that were pleasing to the male eye. But why did this Saint Lakeman suddenly give up just before taking action?

'I not only want to possess Hancock as a person but also her heart,' Lakeman thought secretly. His desire was extremely swollen. Temporary patience was just for the greater good. Now that Hancock was in his hands, he would never let her leave again.

'Stop being an empress, and don't go back to Nine Snakes Island. Just stay by my side!'

"You did a good job, and you will be rewarded," Lakeman said, casting an appreciative look at the middle-aged woman, then turning to the housekeeper.

"Yes," the housekeeper immediately understood.

"Thank you, Master Lakeman!" The middle-aged woman was overjoyed and bowed deeply.

"Okay, that's it for today," Lakeman waved his hand and asked everyone to leave. He wanted to think about how to maximize the use of the bound system.

'With the system, still addicted to eating, drinking, and having fun? That would be too unrewarding. I should turn the entire pirate world into my own paradise!'

"Yes," the housekeeper and the middle-aged woman immediately turned around and walked out. Hancock was also taken away. Although no one knew why Lakeman asked to be alone, as a servant, no one questioned the master's decision.

Hancock left with doubts and was sent back to a specially guarded room.

"Sister, you are finally back!"

"Sister, are you okay?"

Her two sisters immediately came over worriedly and checked Hancock's whole body to see if she was missing anything. The indifferent expression on Hancock's face finally couldn't be maintained. She shook her head, hugged her two younger sisters, and comforted them.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

"How can it be okay?"

"Yeah, the Celestial Dragons are bad guys!"

The two sisters immediately retorted.

"Shut up!" Hancock's face suddenly turned cold, and she stared at her two sisters sternly. "Don't show any dissatisfaction or disgust in our current situation; otherwise, you will only die miserably!"

The two younger sisters were frightened and did not dare to say anything.

Seeing their fear, Hancock's face softened a little. "Listen to me and pretend to accept your fate from now on. This will make us live longer. To live means to have hope."

When the two sisters heard this, they nodded vigorously and said in unison, "We understand, sister!"

"That's right," Hancock smiled and hugged her two sisters tightly. However, neither sister noticed the deep sadness that flashed in Hancock's eyes.

'Even if you pretend to accept your fate, if you keep pretending for long enough, you might completely accept it in your heart,' she thought.

The next day, Lakeman slept until three o'clock in the morning before slowly waking up. His washing was still done by the original maid; Hancock was not yet skilled, and last night was just a sample display. More details needed to be worked out slowly.

[Current progress: 8.24%...]

When Lakeman walked out of the room, he heard the system prompts and saw three girls standing uneasily outside the door: Hancock and her two sisters. The progress of the binding would slowly increase as long as they were nearby. If the distance was very close, or there was intimate contact, then the progress would increase quickly.

'You will be my personal maid, and you two will learn some fighting skills from the guards,' Lakeman had already figured out how to arrange Hancock.

"You will be my personal maid, and you two will learn some fighting skills from the guards," Lakeman pointed at Hancock, then at the two sisters.

Hancock's two younger sisters, before eating Devil Fruit and turning ugly, looked passable, but they were just passable. Just ordinary cute. There was absolutely no comparison with Hancock. With Hancock, Lakeman had become more discerning. Even if a girl was not a top-notch beauty, she would not catch his eye.

"Yes." When the housekeeper heard Lakeman's arrangement, he immediately stepped forward to express his understanding and at the same time had Hancock's two sisters taken away.

"That's it," Lakeman said and walked outside to the dining room. Hancock looked at her two sisters being taken away hesitantly. She wanted to reach out and stop them, but faced with the housekeeper's cold eyes, she had no choice but to put her hand down and follow Lakeman, who was walking in front.

On the way, she met the middle-aged woman who had trained her yesterday. The woman glared at her.

"..."

Hancock sighed silently in her heart, her expression becoming indifferent. She raised her chin slightly, exuding a cool and noble temperament as if she were a princess from some royal family.

Once they reached the dining room, Lakeman took his seat, and Hancock stood by, her presence a mix of defiance and forced submission. The housekeeper approached, his demeanor as formal and disciplined as always.

"Saint Lakeman, regarding the items from the auction yesterday, we have securely transported all the goods to the estate," the housekeeper began, sensing Lakeman's interest.

"Good. Among those items were some Devil Fruits. I need a detailed report on them," Lakeman said, his tone commanding but with a hint of curiosity.

The housekeeper nodded. "Certainly, Saint Lakeman. We acquired several notable Devil Fruits, and I have matched them with the Devil Fruit illustrated book as well. We obtained the Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model: Anaconda, the Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model: Titanoboa, and the mythical Zoan fruit, the Ice Phoenix. There was also the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Cerberus, the Uma Uma no Mi, Model: Pegasus, the Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Bakeneko, and the Mero Mero no Mi, which is heart-shaped and known for its unique powers."

Lakeman listened intently, a spark of excitement in his eyes. 'These fruits... each one could be immensely powerful. And in the hands of the right person, they could change everything.'

"Ensure they are kept secure and under constant guard," Lakeman instructed. "I have plans for them."

"Yes, Saint Lakeman," the housekeeper responded, bowing slightly before stepping back.

Lakeman turned his gaze to Hancock, who stood silently, her dark blue eyes reflecting a mix of fear and defiance. 'You will become everything I want you to be,' he thought. 'My most devoted lover, slave, and fighter. You will serve me and only me, no matter what it takes.'
