100X Returns System: I Dominate the Age of Gods-Chapter 245. Mika-the best maid (1)

"What??" Everyone in the room was shocked.

The sheer abruptness of that statement by the blue raven felt like being pushed off a cliff without warning.

Aurelius stood up from his seat and spoke in a high tone. "Do you have any idea of what you are suggesting??"

His voice rose; he was no longer responding as an emperor but as a man losing control over unfolding events.

"Sure, I have more than enough ideas," Blue Raven said while rolling his eyes to the side.

His casual dismissal only widened the gap between him and the rest of the room. Where others saw risk, he saw inevitability.

"I advise you to get moving if you don’t want to get taken out later; the element of surprise is the biggest weapon we can use. We must reach there before your brother informs the cult about our attack." Blue Raven said before walking towards the door.

His reasoning was tactically correct, yet it sounded impractical to Aurelius.

"Wait!! I haven’t even prepared my forces properly; they need time to mobilize," Aurelius spoke hurriedly, stopping Blue Raven in his tracks, who turned around to look at him.

Moving an army was not simple. Logistics, formations, command chains—every one of these things demanded time and preparation.

"The army won’t be needed," Blue Raven said before looking at Andrea and Yue.

The certainty in his voice implied something far more unsettling than confidence; it suggested that the scale of this operation was beyond conventional warfare.

Under Blue Raven’s gaze, both of the ladies looked at each other and stood up. Aurelius looked at both of them, getting ready to leave, and slapped his forehead; nothing was going his way at all.

Their immediate compliance only reinforced his helplessness.

Blue Raven looked at Number 1. "Gather your top men," he said.

Number one looked at Aurelius, who nodded lightly before he started walking outside along with Blue Raven. He had realized he was no longer leading this operation; he would have to listen to Blue Raven, not because he wanted to, but because his seniors were doing so too.

A few minutes later, Blue Raven, number 1, along with his top nineteen men from numbers 2 to 20, Aurelius, Andrea, and Yue, stood at the topmost spire of the imperial palace. The height of the spire exposed them to the open sky, as if placing them on the edge of clouds, and the ground was several feet below.

They curiously saw Blue Raven take out an orb in his hands. Most of them recognized what it was. He threw the ball high into the sky; the rest followed his gaze only to see the orb magically transforming into a gigantic craft in an instant. The giant artifact-like thing floated above them, shadowing everything they could see.

"Let’s go," William (blue raven) said.

As he said that, a broad platform extended out from the spacecraft and descended towards them. The mechanism moved with smoothness, as though the craft were alive and welcoming them inside.

"My lord!!" Suddenly, a voice sounded; everyone turned to see the source of that voice. It was the butler of Emperor Aurelius whose betrayal had left Aurelius’s mind in shambles.

"My Lord, where are you going??" he asked in a visible panic. Suddenly, he added another line.

"Without any proper security," he said as if the twenty hounds standing around Aurelius were invisible.

His concern did not sound genuine to them since now they were aware of his double face.

Aurelius looked at him and blinked a few times. "Follow me. Elder Blue Raven is about to show us the interior of this huge artifact," he said with a smile.

The smile was intentional and deceptive. For the first time since the revelation, Aurelius acted not out of emotion but wits.

Andrea and Yue exchanged glances with a chuckle. The butler’s eyes widened, and barely visible relief appeared in his eyes. He quickly followed Aurelius.

That relief confirmed what words did not; he needed to stay close and report any new developments to his lord.

William sighed, looking at the scene. "System, does this version of the spacecraft have an auto-clean feature??

[Rest assured, host] the system replied knowingly.

Everyone boarded the ship in an instant, the hull of the ship closed slowly, and the ship burst into the sky abruptly like a beast.

A few minutes later, on the ground, the carriage of the Winter family left the palace through the gates.

Meanwhile, on a separate balcony, Daniel came out of the chambers, followed by a few servants. The palace continued to function as if nothing had changed; the city across worked peacefully.

He looked around before taking a deep breath. "Prepare a carriage for me. Prepare the fastest steeds to pull it."

Daniel needed to relay intel to the Clayman cult as soon as possible. According to the intel, the emperor would initiate an attack in 4 hours, mobilizing such a huge army, and the travel time would make them reach their target in half a day.

He still had time to make them alert, because if the Clayman cult gets wiped out, then he would be losing his secret backing and resources he was preparing for a civil war in the empire, and also the assassination of Aurelius and the princes.

He actually wanted to fly and reach the cult headquarters sooner, but he had no choice but to go by horse until the capital city. If he flew over the city, there was a risk of being exposed and tailed, which he did not want at all.

***

Meanwhile, in the Clayman cult’s headquarters...

Agrath entered his private chambers with a relaxed posture. In his hands, a cigar was affixed between his two fingers, burning faintly. He raised his hand lazily and took in the smoke in a single breath.

He was feeling great today; in fact, he felt like the king between these walls, and the reason was in front of him. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

He looked at the master bed in his room with a pleased gaze; the bedsheets were laced with scents, and flower petals were scattered as if it were his first night of marriage.

The arrangements had been a surprise and not something that had been done on his orders, but instead of feeling threatened, he felt excited, as if he were about to unwrap a gift.

Agrath turned around his broad frame and faced a meek, delicate figure of Mika, the catkin maid, in front of him.

She was wearing a tightly fitted black-and-white maid dress; the lace corset hugged her waist and pushed her massive chest into bold, irresistible focus. The cloth on her chest threatened to be torn apart with just a bit of effort.

The short skirt was high on her thighs, teasing glimpses far beyond the boundary of her legs.

Her stockings were made of net material, framing her legs in a way that felt deliberately inviting for a man to have a meal. Mika’s clothes had turned far shorter and greatly revealing of her.

She stood with her hands joined together at the front while holding her tail in her hands, trying to make sure her skirt didn’t crease and shorten anymore. Her face was looking slightly tilted to the side and downwards, with a blush on her face that made her look irresistible to Agrath.

He puffed a bit of smoke on her delicate face, making her cough.

"I’ve been waiting to meet you for a very long time," Agroth spoke in a low, bassy voice meant for seducing her.

"I apologize, my lord; I was having difficulties breathing, so I decided to take a break for a few days," she said timidly as if fearing his disapproval.

Her hands tightened around her skirt, which did nothing more than to add fuel to the already lit flames in Agrath’s heart.

But he still did not make himself lose in lust; he took another puff of smoke and puffed it out on her, making her cough again.

"I was pleased to see you last time," he said with a smile. "I’ve been wanting to reward you for that."

Mika became even more nervous. "My lord, I have tried to give my best," she said.

"That’s where you are mistaken, Mika. I believe there is a lot of potential in you that I feel only I can draw out from the depths of you!~" Agrath spoke before clipping her face with his right hand and raising it to look at her intently.

"You’ve dressed like that on purpose, didn’t you?" he asked with a predatory gaze, making her shiver.

Mika spoke in a timid tone. "Last time I saw my lord looking at certain places on my body, I felt as if my dress were shortened from those places, it might please my lord. I apologize, my lord; I am still inexperienced when it comes to pleasing men."

That sentence from Mika was the last drop of fuel that needed to be added to Agrath’s fire.

He couldn’t control himself anymore; he wanted to ravage this timid woman for weeks on this bed. He imagined biting into her soft skin; his mind pictured the pleasure of breaking every part of hers with everything he had. He made up his mind to not stop until he breaks the bed with her.

Meanwhile, outside the chamber, Grimlock stood sighing in relief that he did not get to play Mika’s role again.

He just wished that Amorphous’s mind doesn’t break in this role; otherwise, there would be no one to play Mika, and lure William’s enemies into honey traps.
