"...I guess you are doing this to humiliate Malkam since he was planning revenge against you." Avery said after thinking a bit.
"As expected of my little Avery" Kylo clapped his hand cheerfully.
Avery rolled her eyes before continuing the previous topic.
"The second reason for spreading the rumours might be to put a brake for the other powers in the province and get more time I'd my guesses are correct but it should not be just this right?" Avery asked with a little confused tone.
"As expected of my smart Avery" Kylo again clapped his hands like a proud parent
".... Can you stop with those expressions" Avery immediately put on a blank face.
"Tsk tsk little Avery that's why you are so cute." Kylo chucked which caused Avery more displeasure but he continued without minding it "You see, most living beings are greedy by nature. Most of them are not satisfied with what they have and would want more and more."
"What are you getting at?" Avery was becoming impatient but as usual, the black haired man did not care and continued
"Well, *sigh* what I am saying is, once it is revealed that 2 of your province's strongest cultivators are killed with few even injured then I have no doubt other province's strong cultivators will keep an eye on them and their regions.
And if it is also said that every major power of your province also send an army to patrol here then they might even start attacking your province.
Even if the other provinces are not serious they can atleast send some scouts to test the waters. And they might take further action depending on the reaction they get from this province's so called powerhouses.
And it is not like those trashes can take back their words and not send any soldier or I might 'get out of the cave and attack them'.
Anyways, they would have no time to bother with me. Atleast the only thing they can do is plan for the future not attack in these turbulent times. That means one down.
Next, there is a high probability that someone from neighbouring province might come here just to 'inform' me about your province's 'lowly acts' of 'backstabbing' thus 'angering' me. They would have their objectives, like creating a rift between us so that I attack them and weaken the province thus helping them indirectly.
They would think they have used me perfectly but anyways I will have to get my revenge in the future so I can make a deal with them and thus get a strong cultivator by my side.
Then comes that organization err... Tour Magique if I remember correctly, if they hear a young man killed these 'powerful' cultivators of your province single handedly without hesitation they might think I have some strong background and will take some time to investigate my background.
They might even come looking for me and I can possibly bluff my way. They might think it is not worthy to offend a person with a mysterious background like me for someone 'exiled' unless there is really someone who loves her, or they have some other reason to avenge her and will go through anything to avenge her.
But then again that is unrealistic given how she was ignored and humiliated in this region. That means whatever the case is they would atleast not bother me for the time being.
And by the time everyone had their doubts cleared would come for a fight I would be done and get ready to either fight or escape depending on the situation."
Avery gasped in horror. The lady was completely stunned. She never knew how a single rumor can create so many side effects.
She herself only thought about one logical effect. She never in her dreams could have guessed how this rumour could make the other provinces declare war or how they could gain some extra slav-- *cough* *cough* allies.
"Little Avery always remember, your enemies are smart. They make a move with the hope it achieves atleast 2 results. So if your move achieves anything less than 3 results then your move is useless." Kylo said with a gentle smile.
Avery thought for a moment before nodding in agreement. She looked at Kylo's face once more and for the first time in her life she felt it.
She felt fear. Fear not because of strength but because of intelligence.
There are many who can make others fear with their strength and cultivation but there are only few who can make others fear with just their wit.
And Kylo has both strength and wit.
This was why Devils were feared. It is not just for any reason they are known as pinnacle existences by many.
"Well you do not need to worry about all these things. I will make sure everyone who were against me would suffer tragically at the end of the game and make them regret their decision of coming here to attack me." Kylo said while giving an evil grin.
"I guess I somehow got lucky?" Avery asked a little absent mindedly.
Kylo started walking towards her while saying "Now you get it my dear little Avery. So you should serve your master well" Kylo whispered in her ears while he bit her ears lightly before pulling himself.
This was a shock for her as this was the first time some man other than her family ever touched her.
She immediately jumped up and pointed her index finger of right hand towards Kylo while stuttering "W-w-w-what a-a-are you d-d-doing? W-w-what do y-y-you mean by s-s-serving?"
Kylo was not surprised by her reaction. He smirked and continued teasing her "Now now what is my little Avery even thinking? How naughty~"
Kylo laughed while teasing Avery which immediately made Avery's face red with embarrassment.
In fact Kylo teased the lady purposely in order to lessen her fear a bit. He needs her to fear him but not to the point who is always scared and agrees on any decision with him.
After all he needs a maid who is intelligent enough to make her own decisions according to situations and not a yes man. Everything needs to be balanced.
Kylo also looked at his hands for a moment and thought
[I can only touch her or other things because of the cave. Maybe it has some special law which I do not know of.
How good it would had been if I had my body. I might have already eaten her.] Kylo laughed lightly before looking towards the red faced girl once again and said. "Well since Little Avery is becoming good at serving I will give you a privilege to ask me a question. I will answer if I can."
"W-what did I even s-s-serve!?!?" Avery seemed to only register the first half of the first sentence.
"Well are you not giving me a good entertainment." Kylo laughed causing Avery to grit her teeth.
She snorted before calming herself down. She took deep breaths and it was almost after a minute before she calmed herself down.
She looked towards him again and asked him "Then can you tell me what is your race, your background and right now how long will it take to recover?"
"Well I only said to ask one question... hmm but since it is my dear little Avery I will give you another special privilege." Said Kylo which once again caused her to blush lightly. It seemed everytime Kylo said 'dear little Avery' it would cause a reaction from her.
Well Kylo did tease her sensitive spot that is her ear. Kylo knew her sensitive spot were her ears. No it was not like Kylo would know any lady's sensitive spot just from a glance but he knew Avery's.
Not because he peeked in her mind but because she has an Elf's bloodline. Any elf's sensitive spot irrespective of the gender is their ears. Even though she has not awakened it, any race will have their dormant traits.
And even if Kylo peeked in her mind he would found nothing because through {Soul Contract} you only know about the things she is thinking and not what is inside her memories.
Kylo believes everything in this world should be planned. True everything might not go the way you want.
But still one should take the initiative and take situation under their control as much as possible.
(Author Note:- For all those who assumed Freya will be a harem member, well just a heads up, do not assume every beautiful woman will end up as Kylo's lolololol.
Even if she survived Kylo might not even look at her so do not worry since Kylo only needs the best out of best~.)
