Chapter 191 - 135 Hot Springs, The Bewitching Beauty Witch (10,000 words, update 54/65)_6

She sighed inwardly, but then, upon further reflection, she felt quite playful about it all.

As soon as Kael called her "Sister," she cheerfully accepted, completely forgetting that she and his mother were close friends!

Calling each other sister and brother without any sense of shame.

But thinking it over again, she realized that it was Kael who had first suggested this appellation, so what did it have to do with her, Franca? She had merely gone along with it opportunistically.

Moreover, she hadn’t been of little help to that boy Kael.

The hidden roles in the Mage Academy, like being a librarian, which involved many secrets and constant close contact with a multitude of students, were highly sought after by countless others outside.

Even Anthony wouldn’t have the power to directly secure such a position for Kael.

The Spellcasters wouldn’t fall for such things; had it not been for her unique identity and considerable maneuvering within the academy, how could such a leisurely position, one that made it easy to meet female students and came with high welfare benefits, fall into your lap, kid?

[Hmph, you owe me big for this favor!]

Thinking this way, Franca felt the inexplicable guilt of turning her best friend’s son into her plaything dissipate, replaced by the thrill of finding a new toy.

"Debt, you still owe me a debt... Since you can’t see me anyway, it won’t matter if I move around a bit, right?"

With this thought, Franca, facing Kael, called over the Sapphire Golem Maid.

After a while, Franca, who had become somewhat dazed after soaking in the hot pool for too long, lifted her pale swan-like neck, pulling up the sapphire submerged in the water.

"Go get me a new set of clothes."

The sleepily obedient Sapphire nodded and was about to leave when she suddenly heard Franca’s instruction:

"Find a set of clothes that would fit him; don’t let him go back with his clothes all wet."

Sapphire nodded again, looking at Franca with curiosity, and said:

"Miss, would this mean that I have learned to be considerate?"

The next moment, a crimson blush spread all over the beautiful witch’s body, and she pulled off her bathrobe in embarrassment and flung it over Sapphire’s face.

"Go away!"

Then she added angrily, "You better not speak of today’s events, or I’ll dismantle your stone head!"

An expression of shock appeared on Sapphire’s face. What had she done wrong?

She was just an ordinary personified Golem!

...

On the other hand, as the pain on his body gradually subsided, Kael’s senses slowly returned. He had planned to vent his spleen on the sister who had just dropped him, nearly hurt to death by her.

But the benefits he had received this time were so plentiful that he didn’t even dare to raise his voice in front of the beautiful witch.

Feeling the light screen in front of him gradually dissipate and revealing the outside scenery, he saw the maid named Sapphire who had welcomed him at the door now standing in the water, quietly watching him, and saying:

"Lord Kael, have you finished bathing? I have prepared a change of clothes for you."

Kael looked at the clothes held by Sapphire, infused with a faint magic aura, obviously not just plain garments. The exquisite pattern was clearly made with expensive special dye, giving the items a very costly appearance.

Although Kael did not know whose clothes these were, he did not like wearing garments someone else had worn.

"No need, it’s just a trivial matter."

He stood up and walked to the edge of the pool, a glimmer of magic light passing over his hands, and the moisture on his clothes was instantly drawn out, condensed into a sphere of water, and fell back into the pool.

Spells were not only for fighting; they were extremely convenient when dealing with the minutiae of daily life.

Once clean and tidy, Kael finally got up and made his way outside. He felt an unusual sense of comfort in every pore, a novel joy spreading through his heart.

However, after looking around, he didn’t spot Flandre anywhere nearby, and stepping outside didn’t reveal her presence either, causing him some puzzlement.

Sapphire came up with quick, light steps, and upon seeing Kael, she blurted out:

"Miss Franca is resting in the flower-viewing pavilion next to the side courtyard. Lord Kael, you may go directly to find her, since she just..."

Mid-sentence, Sapphire suddenly clapped her hand over her mouth!

She almost let the secret slip and if the fearsome Miss Franca were to find out, Sapphire might really end up in serious trouble!

Kael, not understanding, looked at her, finding the golem maid with her mouth covered and frantically shaking her head somewhat silly.

But, having learned the beautiful witch’s location, he headed straight in the direction Sapphire the maid had indicated.

He soon saw the cool and collected beauty, with an expression that had just shed its flirtatiousness, in the courtyard.

Upon seeing Kael approaching, Flandre suppressed the weird feeling in her heart and looked at him straight on, quickly adjusting her demeanor.

She put down the magic book she was holding, and with her expressive eyes under willow-like brows, she looked up at Kael and said:

"So, how does it feel? Is it great now?"

After saying those words, she felt a strange sense of resentment in her tone.

After adjusting her mood for what seemed like the umpteenth time, she finally relaxed, her face teeming with allure as a playful smile appeared:

"With the power of Lion Heart’s enchantment, you now truly possess the capability to step onto the stage of the Duchy. You should consider how to thank your sister."

Seeing her expression that seemed to invite negotiation, Kael suppressed a flicker of doubt in his heart and said with a light chuckle:

Your adventure continues at empire

"Sister Franca has really been a great help this time. With the boost from Lion Heart, along with my own spellcasting ability and divine arts, I am now content with my level of safety.

For such a gift, I have nothing to repay you with, save for offering one commitment under the condition that it does not violate my principles. If it is within my power, I will do my utmost to fulfill my promise."

The gorgeous witch rolled her eyes unimpressed and said, "So it turns out that other than one commitment, when your sister is in trouble and you can easily solve it, you wouldn’t be willing to help me?"

Kael paused, he was a cautious person, and something about Franca’s words, that tone, seemed off as if she was coquettishly bantering with him...

No, that couldn’t be right; they had only just met that day!

While his thoughts were swirling, the witch added a few more words: "As your sister, you can certainly come to me for support when you’re being bullied. I do not involve myself in the quarrels of the Duchy.

However, if someone bullies you, I can help you beat them up!"

As she spoke, she swung her fists with an eager expression on her face.
