Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the town hall.

Evelyn the maid was pouring warm milk into the bowls of the mayor and Captain Ian while stifling a yawn. When the mayor and Captain Ian came back at dawn, Evelyn hurriedly went to the kitchen to prepare food.

The day before yesterday, the mayor fainted on the ground. The residents of the town were already worried about the death of the previous mayor, so when Su Chen and Ian went out last night, Evelyn’s heart was still in her throat and she did not dare to sleep for the whole night. When the sun rose and the two returned safely, Evelyn’s heart finally fell to the ground. Her sleepiness and exhaustion immediately caught up with her, so she secretly yawned while pouring milk.

‘The mayor probably didn’t see it.’

She thought secretly in her heart.

He actually liked the current mayor very much. Like the old mayor, he was very kind to his subordinates and servants. Everyone liked to serve such a master.

Another key reason was that the mayor was so handsome. Every time Evelyn served Su Chen, she would sneak a glance at his resolute and handsome side profile. She was seventeen years old, and at that age, she could not help but think about some things.

Especially since she was a personal maid, she was always by Su Chen’s side and could get in touch with some private things.

Servants like them were actually the private property of the Lord of the territory, but there was an exception in this town. The Karev family was powerful enough, so they were not under the jurisdiction of the mayor, especially after the death of the old mayor, the head of the Karev family, Owen Karev, was eager to take the position of mayor, and had been planning to annex the town for himself.

Evelyn thought about it and could not help but worry about the future situation of the mayor. The monsters outside were invading more and more frequently, and the Karev family was eyeing the town covetously. Standing beside her, she could not help but glance at the side of Su Chen’s face.

“Evelyn!”

Su Chen mumbled as he wolfed down his food.

The little maid was constantly looking at Su Chen’s face. When she heard the call, her body tensed up and trembled. She was shocked and quickly clarified in panic

“Ah!? I’m not peeking at you, I’m just looking at you… Um… To see how you’re eating…”

As she spoke, she shook her head like a rattle-drum, and her two braids fluttered in the wind.

Captain Ian and Su Chen, who were eating with their heads lowered, were attracted by the panicking little maid. They raised their heads and looked at this “Reckless Ghost.”.

Ian looked at the red-faced maid, who was nervously rubbing the corners of her clothes with her hands, and then looked at Su Chen. He suddenly became playful and wanted to make a joke.

“Evelyn, have you been sleeping with the mayor in the past few days?” Seeing Evelyn’s eyes, Ian, an experienced lover, immediately realized that Evelyn was interested in the mayor.

Although Evelyn was only 17 years old, she had no experience in relationships. She had only heard some things from the older maids.

Usually, the personal maidservants of the Lords, in addition to taking care of their daily lives, were the most important targets for the lords to vent their sexual desires. Therefore, after she became the personal maidservant of the new mayor a few days ago, she had already mentally prepared herself. She only hoped that she would not be tortured and ravaged.

However, Su Chen was not only handsome, he was also a special gentleman. From the bottom of her heart, she would definitely be willing to serve such a person. It was just that nothing intimate happened.

At this moment, Evelyn heard Ian’s teasing. Her already red face became even redder, and there were even traces of steam rising from her head. Seeing this, Ian laughed out loud.

Su Chen glanced at these two people and rolled his eyes. He said to Evelyn, “Evelyn, I asked you to inform the administrative officer, Maggie, to come for a meeting. Have you notified her?”

Evelyn suddenly felt like she wanted to turn into an ant and crawl into the cracks of the floor tiles. It turned out that she was thinking too much, she quickly replied, “Officer Maggie has a stomachache. He was in the bathroom just now. His wife said she would inform him immediately.”

Ian picked up a napkin and wiped off the food on his mouth. He scolded impatiently, “That old thing Maggie is really troublesome. She always drops the ball when it’s important!”

“Hey, don’t you go talking about me behind my back. I’ll deduct your salary!”

A middle-aged man with a handlebar mustache held the wall with one hand and covered his stomach with the other as he walked into the house. He stared at Ian.

Ian sneered disdainfully. “Look at you. It looks like you needed the help of some wench to help you move your bowels!” 

Maggie had just moved to the side of the chair and sat down. Hearing this, he was so angry that both sides of his beard trembled. “Don’t talk nonsense. If my wife hears it, I’ll be in trouble!”

“Cough! Alright, stop arguing. I’m tired and sleepy. I just want to sleep. Let’s finish our business first. You can argue as long as you like after that.” Su Chen cleared his throat and interrupted the two people.

Ian and Maggie were still winking at each other.

Su Chen continued.

“I woke up after I fainted last night and became a mage.”

Ian and Maggie stopped winking at each other. Ian had heard about this from the guards in advance, so he only came today to confirm it. He did not have a big reaction.

Maggie’s mouth was wide enough to fit an egg, and his eyes were even bigger than before.

“Su… Lord Su Chen, are you telling the truth? How is this possible?”

Maggie felt as if a bomb had exploded in his head, and immediately felt that he had said something inappropriate. “Lord Mayor, I didn’t mean to say that you’re not talented enough. I’m just surprised!”

“Look at that sycophantic face of yours. It’s really disgusting, Maggie. You should really take a piss and look at yourself. You don’t even know that our mayor can wield two elements, right?”

“Dual-elements?! Is this real? Am I dreaming?!” As he said that, he pinched his thigh, causing him to jump up in pain.

Ian turned to look at Su Chen. “Our mayor, can you show us the magic you’ve awakened?”

“Of course!”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and two pale green rays of light shot into Ian and Maggie’s bodies.

Ian felt life force rapidly flowing through his body. The wounds of the past two days began to itch and scab, and some of the old wounds in his body felt less uncomfortable. The physical exhaustion had been swept away..
