In the countryside of the Virtue Empire was Rose City, where information hardly came by. Merchants seldom paid a visit, but this city was self-sufficient, so there was no problem with life there.
It was a small barony city in which citizens focused on agriculture to make a living, located much to the edge near the border with the Sin Kingdom. The scenery was marvelous, filled with the greenery of crops that would turn yellow when Fall arrived.
At the end of that city, situated atop a small hill, stood Baron Rose's mansion. It usually had a lively atmosphere. The servants loved the kind Baron and always praised the middle-aged Baron and thanked him.
However, today, the atmosphere around the mansion was grim, all thanks to a letter the Baron received.
In the study room, a brown-haired man with a mustache sat behind a desk, holding a piece of letter tightly in his hand. He was Baron Rose, often known as Rowan Rose. He was also Eliza's father.
A beautiful woman with large breasts stood across from him. She had long brown hair and blue eyes. Her cleavage was exposed from the blue dress she wore. No one would've expected such a beautiful woman to already be in her 30's. Her name was Vivian Rose, Eliza's mother.
However, her beautiful face was filled with worry as she looked at her husband.
"Dear, can't we do something?" She asked, her voice creaking.
"What can we do?" Rowan replied with a voice filled with anguish. "The other party is a Duke; we are just a Baron. Our position is too different, and his proposal isn't unreasonable in a noble society."
"However!" Vivian interjected. "Do you want to hand over our daughter to become the mistress of someone even older than us?! If it's his son, then I will accept it although unwillingly, but–"
"I know that, Vivian." The Baron slammed his hand against the table, leaving a deep mark on it. Even though he looked like a kind man, he was also someone who rose his rank through hard work and achievement. He wasn't someone to be underestimated.
"However, once again, we are just Baron." He continued, biting his lips. Sadness was clear in his expression. "The only way is to comply with the Duke's demand or send Eliza to safety, to the Sin Kingdom."
"No… That won't do." Tears falling from Vivian's eyes. The thought of sending her daughter to the Duke or even to the Sin Kingdom hurt her fragile heart.
'Is there truly no other way?' She thought in her mind, searching for a way.
Then she remembered. She had heard the news from one of her noble acquaintances.
"Right!" She raised her voice, leaning forward against the table. "The Paladin! I heard there is a Paladin born in Academy City. Maybe that Paladin is Eliza's friend? How about we ask him for help? If we can't, then although it hurts me… I will follow your decision, dear."
"Paladin…" Baron Rose muttered the title that could be the savior of his daughter.
Information hardly reached Rose Barony. Even if it reached the city, it would usually take a month when merchants paid the city a monthly visit.
But at least, he trusted his wife's information. If there was truly a Paladin in the Academy City, then he was the only hope Rowan could cling to save his daughter from two cruel fates awaiting her.
Being with a Paladin would be way better than with the Duke or going to the Sin Kingdom.
"Let's send Otto to Academy City to see if the news about Paladin is true or not. Tell him to share this news with Eliza too. Who knows if our daughter is already acquainted with the Paladin? We have 14 days to decide. Let's hope that the Paladin is willing to help us."
Hearing Otto's name, Vivian froze for a second before answering, "Yes, Dear."
Both of them moved out of the study room in haste. There was no time to be wasted. They split away, and the Baron went outside the mansion while Vivian called a maid.
She walked to a certain room, waiting for someone she had called beforehand. An uneasy feeling filled her heart when she saw her husband from earlier. It might be just her feeling, but she couldn't shake it off.
'Better safe than sorry.'
"Did you call, Madam?" The maid with braided hair and cute freckle asked politely, bowing her head deeply toward the Madam of the house.
"Yes, Jane." The Madam, Vivian, replied with a soft smile, concealing all her conflicted emotions. "I don't say this because I distrust Otto, our barony's knight, but please go to Academy City and gather information about Paladin for me."
"Me, Madam?" The maid called Jane raised her head, eyes bulged in surprise.
"Yes." Vivian replied with narrowed eyes.
"You're the maid I trusted the most, Jane. Only you and Sylvia were the ones who followed me from my previous house. I just felt that my husband had changed a little bit due to stress or work. It's my duty to support him, no?" She continued with a proud smile.
"Still, I don't fully agree with his sudden decision to either send our daughter to the Duke, following their demand or send her to the Sin Kingdom. While Otto is a talented knight, I also want you to inform Eliza about this as an assurance. Will you do it for me?"
"Of course, Madam. Please leave it to Jane. I will surely inform Young Miss and collect information about the Paladin."
"Thank you, Jane."
After hearing Vivian's gratitude, Jane bowed deeply and slowly left the room, closing the door.
Vivian also turned around, walked toward the window and looked at the sky. The blue sky reminded her of her daughter's bright eyes.
If there was no hope with this Paladin, her daughter would be sent to an unforgiving place. She had heard how forced domination was spread in the Sin Kingdom. Once again, it was just a rumor she heard from talking with other noble ladies in their tea party.
And if possible, as a mother, she didn't want her daughter to spend her life in such a place.
'Forgive your parents, Eliza. We are too powerless.' Vivian apologized in her mind, tears dripping from the corner of her eyes again. 'If only that Paladin was Arthur, your childhood sweetheart and kind boy, maybe you would lead a happier life.'
Then, putting her hands together, she looked at the sun hanging around the blue sky and prayed. "Please, Goddess Teri. Let the Paladin be a man that our daughter loves. I just want my daughter to be happy."

"Welcome to my mansion. Feel free to come anytime you want."
I arrived in my mansion with Emilia in tow, following my right on my side as she hugged my arm. Her soft mounds were pressed against my upper arm, making it hard to move. However, I enjoyed the sensation and let her do whatever she pleased.
The twin nuns didn't welcome me this time, only watching from afar. They were hiding behind bushes and trees around the garden, but I could still feel their presence. Astro ran toward them, probably noticing that we had arrived at home.
"Kyuu~" The baby Black Tiger approached the twin nuns who often prepared its meal.
'They are doing their job dutifully.' I commended them.
"So this is the mansion the headmistress gave you, Arthur? It's big and has a beautiful garden." Emilia looked around in wonder, admiring the beautiful garden.
Then she turned to me; her face turned into an aroused one as she rubbed her thighs together.
"Hey, more importantly, let's do it! I did a good job, no? Please give me my reward, Arthur!"
She pressed her breasts harder to the point they changed shape. I grinned at her and squeezed one of those mounds hard, inviting a shrill moan from her.
"Alright, let's head to my room. It seems that one of my nuns is ready for action too."
"Huh?" Emilia let out a confused sound as we began to walk. "We are doing a threesome?!" Her voice was filled with expectation as her face lit up.
"With toys too. Let's train your other hole, shall we?" My hand went inside her suit and pinched her hard nipple.
"Hnn!" A loud, pleasured moan escaped her mouth. "Gladly!"
