"F*ck! A triple combo skill set related to management! No wonder she can turn a random maid into a vice clan leader of the most powerful clan in the entire kingdom. She's a born manager and leader! Coupled with her super loyalty, I finally understand how Lewis can leave everything to her while he gallivants around the Leb all the time and plays with his toys.
Sadly, she's already devoted herself to someone else. Otherwise, I'd do anything to poach her onto my boat, Myne thought regretfully, gazing at Elsa's beautiful face as if he'd lost a fortune.
But I wonder if my cheap father-in-law intentionally chose her to be Lewis' maid while she had yet to realize her skills' potential so she could come under their royal family banner, this does seem like his usual style. Otherwise, it seems a bit too coincidental for a random maid selected for the prince to possess such a remarkable skill set...
"Why did you stop talking? Tell me what you want! If it's money you need, I don't mind giving it to you, but you have to get out of here with me first!" Elsa, misunderstanding Myne's silence as a warning – as if he were considering harming Lewis and Sylphy – whispered nervously, her voice laced with panic.
"Miss Elsa, since we've only met once, it's reasonable that you wouldn't remember my voice. Still, you shouldn't take Lewis and Sylphy's status so lightly. Who do you think would dare trouble them for mere money? By the way, allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Myne Fortuna, Sylphy's husband, and your secret crush, I mean your Clan Leader one and only brother-in-law." As Myne finished speaking, he swiftly covered Elsa's mouth with his hand to prevent her from erupting in a scream and exposing him.
Just as he anticipated, upon hearing that the person she was conversing with was missing for months, and unofficially declared dead but now standing behind her, Elsa's eyes widened in shock.
Subconsciously, she wanted to scream, "What!" Thankfully, Myne was prepared, and covered her mouth, so she could only shake her body to express her inner thoughts, which wasn't enough to garner Lewis' attention – who was currently enjoying a delightful conversation with his sister.
"Have you calmed down?" Myne, shaking his head helplessly, asked calmly. Seeing her nod, he continued, "First of all, for your information, I'm not dead. I just turned invisible with my skills, so there's no need to panic, and some people called me a coward for fearing a ghost. Anyway, secondly, I want you to bury our conversation, even the information that I'm alive, deep within your mind.
Never tell this to anyone – and by anyone, I mean anyone, not even Lewis."
After processing all the information, Elsa realized the other party was also a family member of Lewis. Without making things difficult for Myne, she quickly nodded her head obediently. This wasn't unexpected. Although Elsa was incredibly close to Lewis and managed his entire clan, at the end of the day she is still just a friend and partner, nothing more.
How could she have the right to meddle in Lewis' and his family's affairs?
"Although you seem to be agreeing now, I can still see it clearly written on your face – that as soon as I leave this room, you'll tell Lewis everything honestly, spilling all my plans, won't you?"
Hearing the same words which was actually going on in her mind, Elsa's body couldn't help but tremble in shock. After all, with her unwavering loyalty and pure love for Lewis, how could she agree to someone else's request and hide things from him just because he asked? Even if that someone else was Lewis's brother-in-law.
But now, since her little deception had been exposed by her opponent, Elsa could only hope he wouldn't resort to drastic measures to secure his previous secret.
"You leave me no other choice, Miss Elsa. Now, I can only use my trump card to silence you once and for all, until this matter is officially resolved," Myne, who had been greatly enjoying teasing Elsa, whispered in her ear with a chuckle. To make things more exciting, Myne also started using Soothing Touch on her.
Elsa, who had already closed her eyes and was prepared to accept whatever was coming her way, with tears welling up in the corners of her eyes and deep regret in her heart for being unable to confess her love for Lewis, suddenly felt a warm energy course through her body, sending chills down her spine.
She opened her eyes wide, abruptly feeling her body heating up in a strange way and a strong urge to touch her vagina come into her mind.
"What, what are you doing, My Lord? Please stop it! Aaaaahhhm~" Now that she knew Myne's true identity, Elsa couldn't speak to him as rudely as before. She added an honorary title while addressing him. However, being a virgin despite approaching her 30th birthday, the effect of Soothing Touch proved to be overwhelming for a noob like her.
Having spent most of her adult life engrossed in various tasks, and almost never touching herself, let alone doing something more exciting, this can be considered a lethal attack for pure Elsa.
Myne was also dumbfounded by her body's strong response. He glanced down and saw her love juices dripping on the floor. However this time, Myne had seems gone too far, and even Lewis and Sylphy noticed Elsa's abnormal state.
After all, her body was trembling uncontrollably, her legs were tightly clamped shut and occasionally rubbed together, and she wore a panicked expression as if she were enduring a predator's stare, how could they not be suspicious?
"Elsa, are you alright?" Lewis, who had never seen Elsa react like this before, asked with concern. Although he always maintained a stoic facade around Elsa, treating her like a close friend, both among his subordinates and family members, that didn't mean he didn't have any special feelings for her. He wouldn't simply ignore her distress out of fear of being teased by his family.
After all, Elsa had been with him for the past 15 years, spending more time with him than anyone else. It was only natural for him to have a special place for her in his heart.
"I'm alright, Clan Leader," Elsa forced a smile and spoke while trying to look as normal as possible, "Just a bit dizzy. It'll pass in a few minutes. You don't need to worry about it."
Despite her reassurance, Lewis's concern remained evident on his face. "But still, please take some rest. You've been working all day. If you continue like this, I'm truly worried about your health. After I return from vacation, remind me to assign you some more helpers to ease your workload. You need to find a balance.
Don't always bury yourself in clan work. You also have a life, Elsa. Enjoy it as you want." He reminds kindly while stopping himself from going to her, to check her out.
"Very well, Clan Leader. I'll take some rest. If you need anything, please let me know." With that, Elsa walked towards the couch by the wall and sat down, closing her eyes as if to truly take a nap. However, the moment Lewis turned away with his worried gaze, her eyes snapped open.
She glanced beside her and noticed a small indentation on the cushion, a clear indication that someone was sitting there.

"Hahaha! Did you see Lewis's face? I bet if Sylphy hadn't been there, he would've rushed over to you, bombarded you with questions regarding your health, and then practically dragged you to the couch and forced you to lie down until you were feeling better... Sigh, Sylphy is also behaving like this.
Once, when I had a slight cold, she made such a simple matter so big that I practically had to suffer through hot soup and medicine for two whole days, and I couldn't even go out of the house," Myne said emotionally while reminiscing about some pleasant memories.
Elsa bristled, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "What are you talking about? Why would the Clan Leader care about a commoner like me so much? You're thinking too much, Lord Myne," She said defensively, fearing Myne might discover her little secret and reveal it to Lewis if he perceived any flaws in her.
What do you think?
