Cheat Awakening

"Who are you?"

The loli dressed in a short maid outfit questioned. Her gaze darted between Myne and the dark-skinned, middle-aged maid, her eyes sparkling with gossip as if she'd stumbled upon a juicy secret. Seeing the excitement in the loli's eyes the corner of Myne's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

He could tell just by her expression that she'd already concocted a story of her own, and most likely, he was the secret lover of the dark-skinned maid who'd snuck into the house to meet him.

"Sigh, I think you've misunderstood something Miss. I'm not her lov..."

"Oh, yes, I understand. Don't worry, guys, your secret is absolutely safe with me. But I never expected Piona to be attracted to younger boys. No wonder she never wants to be with Master no matter how hard he tries. How could she even like that fatty if she has such a handsome man like you right here? I didn't expect you to be such a hidden player.

Damn it! When will I find a good-looking man for myself?"

Just as Myne expected, the loli paid no heed to his denials, automatically assuming he was trying to hide their supposed secret relationship. What started as casual conversation quickly morphed into deep envy and jealousy.

Clearly, she had fallen in love with Myne's good looks, but with a glance at the dark-skinned maid, who was more than a decade older, she couldn't help but curse out loud before storming out of the kitchen, wiping away nonexistent tears without giving Myne a chance to explain.

"What the f*ck is wrong with that loli? Does she have some screws loose or something?" Myne muttered in confusion. Even after she disappeared from sight, he couldn't figure out what had happened or how he'd become the catalyst for a fight between two strangers who'd only met for five minutes.

"Yes, she does," The dark-skinned maid, Piona replied emotionlessly, perhaps mistaking Myne's casual remark for a genuine question. "She's always been a troublemaker, easily getting jealous and starting fights with everyone. Master has punished her many times for it, but because of her cute looks and some unknown trick, she always manages to escape trouble unscathed."

"Ohh, what kind of tricks?" Myne, whose curiosity was triggered by the keyword 'Tricks" and its hidden meaning, asked, raising his eyebrows with genuine interest. Explore stories at empire

"According to rumour, she has the skill to make any part of her body very slippery.

With her skill use, she is very good at taking the master's dick in any of her holes easily, giving him absolute pleasure, which led him to give Ela small special privileges from him," Because Piona was fully hypnotized, there was no shame on her face, gossiping about her colleague or talking dirty, and she explained everything to Myne calmly.

"A skill that makes any body part slippery?" Hearing the secret of the loli maid, Myne's eyes instantly lit up, his creative mind already starting to think of hundreds of possibilities to use this special skill on his girls on special occasions like the one with Mana yesterday night.

If he can give this skill to them, he won't have to worry about getting them injured while banging them hard, after all, not everyone has such a perverted body like Maya.

"I hope this loli is a bad girl; otherwise, it would be going to be a pain in the ass to take this skill," Myne thought with a frown, before refocusing his attention on Piona and asking seriously.

"Do you know where Rosewell, your master's wife is?"

"Usually, she would be in the library at this time," Piona replied instantly without thinking. "But for some reason, I haven't seen her all day today. She hasn't even gone to the library, which has never happened before, nor has she come out to eat anything."

"Huh? Why do I suddenly feel like something bad has happened?" Myne muttered in a low voice, but he quickly shook his head to dispel the negative thoughts. "No, maybe I was thinking too much."

After calmly down his Inner unease, Myne quickly inquires further. "And what about your master? Where is that fatty and what's he doing? Also, have you noticed anything strange about him today?"

"Master is in his 'fun room,' training a new slave girl he just bought yesterday. And yes, Master has been behaving oddly today. He ate twice the amount of food he usually does, which is unusual because he only eats more when he's too nervous or in a bad mood. By the way, last night I heard Kaira do something wrong, for which Master beat her quite severely and locked her in the basement.

We all heard her screams half of the night, but fearing we'd be caught in the crossfire, none of us dared to leave our rooms to investigate. So we all thought this is the reason why he was behaving so weirdly."

Piona, though claiming ignorance, seemed to possess an uncanny knowledge of almost every situation, as expected of a middle-aged woman nothing can be hidden from their almighty eyes and ears, especially something exciting.

"Was I thinking too much? And is Rosy fine?"

Taking a deep breath to steady his nerves, Myne decided to see for himself. "It's best if I meet with her directly to put my mind at ease. Hopefully, she hasn't encountered any trouble because of me." With a swift order, he instructed Piona to lead him to Rosewell's room. Before following, he cast Presence Erase, Stealth, and Illusion spells on himself, rendering himself invisible.

Exiting the kitchen, Myne found himself in a long corridor adorned with a red carpet and magical lamps embedded in the walls. Empty suits of armour stood on either side, more for decoration than any practical purpose. Although undeniably look cool, they also spoke of a certain degree of wasteful extravagance.

Various paintings hung on the wall, depicting beautiful women engaging in shameful acts and men battling monstrous creatures. It was clear that the fatty didn't hold back in using all his wealth; he definitely wasn't going to leave a penny behind before his death for anyone.

Despite the presence of numerous servants, maids, and guards, an unsettling silence hung over the house. There wasn't a single sound of conversation, almost as if everyone feared any unnecessary interaction might cost them their lives. Myne's invisibility ensured he didn't attract any unwanted attention, at least until he reached Rosewell's bedroom.

"Why is there a guard stationed outside? Is that normal?" Myne couldn't help but ask Piona, noticing a rather lazy guard seemingly dozing off in front of the door.

Under the hypnotic influence, Piona provided a straightforward answer. "No, this is my first time seeing this as well, he shouldn't be here under normal circumstances."

Unsatisfied with Piona's answer, Myne quickly approached the middle-aged guard who was on the verge of dozing off. The sudden appearance of a young boy seemingly out of thin air scared the guard to death. He dropped his spear and collapsed to the ground, eyes wide with terror.

However, before he could come back to sense and alert others, Myne's – or rather, Fiora's hypnotise skill took effect, turning him into a living puppet, just like Piona.

"Why are you guarding this room? Is there a specific reason?" Myne hurriedly asked, a growing sense of unease gnawing at him for some reason.

"I don't know," The now-controlled random guard replied emotionlessly. "Master ordered me today to guard Mistress Rosewell's room and not allow anyone to enter under any circumstances."

"This didn't bode well. Damn it, move aside!" Myne shoved the guard out of the way and knocked on the door urgently.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

However, there was no answer after thirty seconds of repeated knocking. Ignoring any notions of privacy, Myne attempted to open the door, only to find it locked. But a simple lock obviously couldn't stop him. With a snap of his fingers and a touch of psychic power, the door swung open effortlessly.

Myne rushed into Rosewell's bedroom. It was surprisingly luxurious, boasting a large queen-sized bed, three big windows, a bathroom, a wardrobe, a table with a chair, and a bookshelf filled with books. However, Myne's concern lay not with the décor but with its occupant. As he feared most, Rosewell was nowhere to be found.

Unwilling to give up hope, Myne dashed towards the bathroom, only to find it empty with no signs of recent use.

"Dammit! Where the hell is Rosy? Both of you, quickly tell me, do you have any idea where she could be?" Myne cried out in desperation, directing his question at both the hypnotized Piona and the random guard.

But they could only offer a disheartening "No," delivering a critical blow to Myne, who wanted to rescue the innocent lady but now he couldn't even find her, and deep down he had hanch that it had something to do with him.

"Wait! You said you haven't seen Rosewell all day, right?" Myne began to talk to himself rather than ask a question. "Then how could she have gotten out of the house and sent me the letter without anyone noticing?" He quickly glanced at the windows, all three of which were locked from the inside, further deepening the confusion.

Just as Myne's brain felt overloaded, a random detail from Piona's earlier statement jolted him back to awareness.

"Where is the basement?"
