The Witch Hunter System
chapter-392

Shortly after Vaan entered Aeliana's room and shut the door, three other bedroom doors opened almost simultaneously.

Cyrena, Dahlia, and Silvaria poked their heads out of their rooms before they noticed each other. Then, after a short period of awkward silence, they wryly smiled at each other before withdrawing their heads back into their rooms.

Meanwhile, Aeliana did not make the same mistake as her mother. Once she entered her room with Vaan, she immediately insulated the room with a sound barrier.

Even if she didn't do it, Vaan would have asked her to.

Although Solana had forgotten the first time, he also chose not to remind her. He wanted to see how Astoria would react to hearing them making love.

Without a doubt, Astoria had also woken up like everyone else, except she chose not to be a busybody like the others.

That said, she could still hear the noises from her room. So even though she didn't purposely eavesdrop on Vaan's room, she still heard everything until she eventually set up a sound barrier to get some peaceful sleep.

However, Astoria ended up having a dream of herself in Solana's position, making love with Vaan. The scenes made her body feel hot, like an animal in heat.

When morning came, Astoria noticed a patch of wetness around her nether region and immediately understood it was bodily fluids secreted from her body.

"Why am I like this?" Astoria quietly asked herself, blushing with shame.

She had a wet dream about Vaan.

…

Meanwhile, Aeliana had a fantastic night of passion with Vaan. She was in sheer bliss during the whole moment with Vaan and went for several dozen of rounds that night.

Everything was as wonderful—no, it was even better than the last time she remembered. Her dual practice with Vaan was always something to look forward to—or so she thought until morning came.

When both mother and daughter woke up in the morning, they felt extremely uncomfortable and terrible, like someone had punched them in the gut several times.

They felt nauseous, sore, and lethargic.

Multiple bruises had appeared all over their bodies, and their knees felt weak; they trembled when they tried to stand up and walk.

After the taste of heaven went away, only hell awaited them. An amazing night had turned into a miserable morning.

It was like getting drunk and partying hard, then experiencing a bad hangover.

"Ugh…" Aeliana groaned as she lay in bed sluggishly like a lazy cat, unwilling to get up.

She didn't have any regrets or complaints about spending the night with her lord. It was a beautiful night, and she also made noticeable progress in mana ring saturation from it.

However, if she spent another night with Vaan, she felt like she might die.

Nevertheless, Aeliana sped up her natural recovery with healing magic before feeling a little better. Eventually, she recovered enough energy to leave the bed.

When she bumped into her mother, they didn't say a word and simply stared at each other in silence. It only took them a single glance to understand each other's situation.

Aeliana couldn't even be bothered complaining to her mother about stealing her lord. Vaan was too much for them to handle alone.

They would have been even more miserable if either of them had monopolized Vaan for the entire night.

…

While the ladies were slowly getting up and waiting for breakfast, Vaan had left the lord's estate much earlier in the morning.

He paid a short trip to the Red Dragon Clan to check on the others, including Eniwse and Hester. He also collected the information extracted from Dorothy.

When he perused the information stored inside the memory crystal given by Astarot, a frown appeared on his face.

The information hidden in Dorothy's mind revealed some major plans to destabilize the Kingdom of Black Rose. Multiple unexpected parties involved in the schemes were also exposed. And the old issue with the division of Furhengir's body had also resurfaced.

A great storm was coming, and the Kingdom of Black Rose was the center of it.

"Humans don't change, even if the world changes; greedy as always," Vaan commented with a glum yet indifferent look before shaking his head. "Well, I'll be leaving now, Lord Astarot."

"Would you like to take my son with you? He has achieved Rank 5 strength and is ready to descend the mountains. I believe he will be of use to you, Supreme Leader," Astarot quickly mentioned, causing Vaan to pause.

"Alright," Vaan nodded before saying, "That's just perfect. I do have some uses for him. I hope more will reach Rank 5 soon."

"With your support of resources, the young elites are making great progress, Supreme Leader. You can expect to see another six Rank 6 in the following week," Astarot informed, then said, "I will call Zodreg now."

"No need, father. I am already here," Zodreg's voice sounded from a distance as he popped out from behind a corner.

Evidently, Zodreg had been eavesdropping on the conversation nearby.

Zodreg had been eager to explore the world since he became a Rank 5 being. After learning of Vaan's arrival, he knew his chance had come.

"Well, that saves us time. Go on, then. Follow the Supreme Leader, and see the world. Always be aware of your surroundings and watch out for danger. Listen to the Supreme Leader's orders…"

Astarot continued to list several instructions before he ran out of things to say.

"We're leaving," Vaan informed, becoming a little impatient.

Although Astarot suggested bringing Zodreg, he was still reluctant to see his son leave the mountain after keeping him close for so many years.

Nevertheless, his son was bound to leave eventually. Thus, Astarot reluctantly saw his son off.

Without further delay, Zodreg entered the gateway with Vaan and left the Red Dragon Clan, returning to the vicinity of Sunpeak Town.

Zodreg immediately inhaled deeply. The air wasn't as fresh as the Red Dragon Clan's nine peaks, but it had the taste of freedom.

"So this is the world after three hundred years," Zodreg observed his surrounding."

"You will have plenty of opportunities to sightsee. But, right now, I have a task for you," Vaan mentioned before explaining Zodreg's job, "I need you to scout the neighboring regions."

"Whether it's people or magic, anything you find suspicious, I want you to record everything and report back to me once you are done."

"But, of course, you must do so while staying out of sight," Vaan added.

"Understood, Supreme Leader!"

Zodreg readily accepted Vaan's task with excitement. It was the perfect first job for him since he could sightsee at the same time.
