A thirty-year-old woman was at the peak of her vitality. After Roy unlocked the gates of her desire, Lisa couldn't hold back.

They spent the next three days in the library's small room. freёnovelkiss.com

While people frequently came to the library to read or clean, no one discovered their—activities.

While some were puzzled by Lisa's absence, they didn't think much of it.

Lisa was a mysterious figure in their eyes.

———

"Roy, can you tell me who you really are now?" Lisa asked, nestled in Roy's arms on the small bed in her private room. The bed was too small for both of them, so she had to lie on top of him.

Roy, holding Lisa's mature and voluptuous form, smirked. "I'm actually a Demon Lord from outside Teyvat."

"Demon Lord?" Lisa was startled. That explained his incomprehensible abilities.

Even she, a powerful mage, was powerless against him. He was from beyond Teyvat?

"And what are you doing in Mondstadt?" This was the question that truly concerned her.

After three days of—intimacy, Lisa had given herself to this man, body and soul. She had to know his intentions.

If he posed a threat to Mondstadt, she would stop him, even if it meant sacrificing herself.

"Of course, I plan to—do you… Ahem. As a Demon Lord, I do whatever comes to mind. Right now—I just want to gather all the beautiful women in Mondstadt and make them my servants," Roy grinned, openly revealing his desires.

Lisa frowned, then she relaxed. So he was a powerful being who acted on whims?

At least he wasn't purely evil.

A morally ambiguous Demon Lord… she could accept that.

But wouldn't this mean Mondstadt's girls were in danger?

Lisa sighed.

"Roy, can you release Jean from your control?"

"Call me Hubby," Roy said with a smirk.

Lisa blushed, then said without hesitation, "Hubby."

"Good girl." Roy was surprised by her easy compliance. Conquering this mature and cunning woman had been surprisingly straightforward.

If possible—he preferred not to use his Charm magic!!

Although charm magic didn't affect their personalities or actions, something always felt missing when they were with him.

"Hubby, can you release Jean from your Charm now?" Lisa asked.

"Of course. But you have to persuade Jean," Roy said.

"I will. But Roy, you must promise not to harm Mondstadt."

"Don't worry. I'm only interested in beautiful women," Roy said with a casual wave of his hand.

——

That afternoon, they finally emerged from the library's small room.

They went to the Acting Grand Master's office.

Knock, knock!

"Come in!"

Lisa opened the door.

"Lisa? I haven't seen you in days. Where have you been?" Jean, busy with the paperwork on her desk, looked up briefly, then returned to her work.

"I was meeting someone special," Lisa said, glancing at Roy.

Jean seemed to have returned to normal. Roy had kept his promise and released her, Amber, and Eula from his control.

This warmed her heart. It seemed the man who had taken everything from her was a man of his word.

"Someone special?" Jean looked up again, her gaze falling on the incredibly handsome man beside Lisa.

Jean was momentarily stunned.

"So, Jean, what do you think? He's quite charming, isn't he?" Lisa asked, approaching Jean with a smile.

"Wh-What?!" Jean blushed and looked down, trying to focus on her work, but she couldn't concentrate.

"Jean, you're not getting any younger. It's time to find a man. It would…ease your burden. And I think Roy is a good choice," Lisa continued.

"Roy?" Jean looked at the smiling man again, intrigued by the unfamiliar name.

She felt a strange sense of familiarity with him. And she didn't dislike him.

"I…I'm not thinking about that right now…" she said shyly, rejecting Lisa's suggestion.

"Jean, the Fatui have been increasingly active lately. Something big is about to happen. You know the Knights' current situation. Roy is incredibly powerful. He can help us overcome this crisis," Lisa said, trying a different approach.

"Are you recommending him for the Knights? Where is he from? I've never seen him before. Is he a friend of yours, Lisa?" Jean asked, confused.

"He's a friend from Sumeru…" Lisa couldn't reveal Roy's true identity. That would be too complicated.

"If you recommend him so highly, Lisa, I'll make an exception and allow him to join the Knights. But he'll have to start from the bottom—" Jean said with a smile.

——

Lisa, hearing this, looked at Roy. If he refused, they would be in trouble.

"A knight? That doesn't sound so bad," Roy mused. Becoming a knight would actually make things…easier.

"Whew…" Lisa sighed in relief.

After leaving Jean's office—

"Roy, give me some time. I'll convince Jean. You don't want a wife who's being controlled, do you?" Lisa said.

"Alright," Roy said, agreeing to give Lisa a chance.

"Thank you!" Lisa was relieved.

"Then do your best. I'm leaving." And with that, Roy vanished.

Lisa sighed. She could only hope he wouldn't…corrupt too many girls.

Meanwhile—

At the Favonius Cathedral—

The atmosphere was quiet and reverent, despite the crowds of people.

They were praying to Barbatos, the Anemo Archon.

Recent incidents at Stormterror's Lair had unnerved the citizens of Mondstadt.

Only through prayer to Barbatos could they find peace.

"Barbatos-sama, please protect Mondstadt…"

Roy heard a sweet voice praying.

He looked up and saw a girl with golden twintails, dressed in a white nun's habit, her eyes closed in prayer.

This adorable girl was Barbara—the reason he had come to the Cathedral.

Roy's lips twitched, hearing her prayer. "Too bad Barbatos is a man…"

Barbara's eyes snapped open, and she turned to face him, her gaze sharp. "Barbatos-sama is a beautiful and gentle goddess! How could she be a man? You're not from Mondstadt, are you?"

Realizing he was an outsider, Barbara's anger subsided.

It was understandable that outsiders wouldn't know about Barbatos.

"Barbatos is female?" Roy asked, confused. That wasn't what he remembered.

He looked at the statue of Barbatos in the cathedral square and noticed that it…had breasts.

What was going on?

Was Barbatos actually female in this world?

Barbara, seeing his confusion, explained gently, "Of course, Barbatos-sama is female! She's a kind and gentle goddess who…"

After listening to Barbara for a while, Roy confirmed that Barbatos was indeed female in this world. It was strange.

But this was even better.

His first thought was to make Barbatos his servant. Then, he would collect all seven Archons.

And the Heavenly Principles and its Sustainer, along with all the adepti.

He wouldn't let any of them escape.

With that in mind, Roy had a clear goal now.

Of course, he wouldn't neglect his research on the Simulated Star Creation Map.

While collecting Teyvat's Gods as servants wouldn't significantly increase his power, every bit helped.

To truly break through, he needed Shiroyasha to reclaim her Divinity.

Dominating Little Garden was only a matter of time.

Of course, everything had to happen at the right time.

For now, he would simply enjoy himself.

"You must be thirsty after talking so much. Here's some water." Seeing Barbara still praising Barbatos, Roy didn't interrupt her. He simply offered her a glass of water.

"Oh, thank you!" To his surprise, Barbara took the glass and drank it without hesitation.

Roy smiled.

"Barbara, tell me more about Barbatos," Roy said after she finished drinking, taking the glass from her and taking a sip himself.

"Of course, as her follower, it's my duty." Barbara smiled brightly, then continued her story about the Anemo Archon's heroic deeds.
