Chapter 404: Lecher
Things in this world are so contradictory. Becoming a king or an emperor is not necessarily a good thing, and getting hurt is not necessarily a bad thing.
Li Ang was enjoying the process of recuperation. In addition to Wendy who kept feeding him various foods, there were also many young and beautiful maids serving him in the courtyard...
Corruption, the life of the nobles is so corrupt...
Li Ang stared at the maids coming and going in the courtyard, strongly condemning the evil feudal era in his heart.
He even felt that the wounds on his body no longer hurt, and tears of shame flowed from his lips.
There were about twenty maids, and all of them were dressed extremely... economically.
Take the two girls who are fanning Leon and Wendy in the courtyard. If all the fabrics on their bodies were added together, it would probably not be enough to make the shorts that Leon is wearing...
Those few strands of thin gauze just barely covered some of the indescribable parts of their bodies, but it didn't seem to cover them completely. Under the soaking of sweat, they were vaguely translucent...
These maids were sent by Alina to take care of Leon.
After all, Leon is the king of New Pendor and Alina's teacher. In addition, Wendy is also Alina's best friend. Of course, the two of them will receive the most grand reception in Bacchus' territory.
Those maids were not slaves, but indentured servants, or contract workers - they were not maids, although they often did the work of maids.
In fact, sometimes they will do more extra work, such as... some ambiguous adjustments or interest coordination in the inner bedroom...
But don't think that they are just low-level workers. Except for some female guards who are specially trained to protect female family members, most of the maids are actually women from noble families in various places - such as the sisters of a small lord, or the daughter of a tribune.
This was not a special case for Bacchus, but a tradition of the entire continent of Pendor - sending women to serve the emperor or king could not only show one's loyalty, but also provide an opportunity for the women in the family to "rise" - who knows, maybe one's own sisters or daughters were favored by the king?
Emperor Marius had always had a maid in his study - Elena, Brutus' sister and Arina's friend, was also sent to Emperor Marius.
Of course, at that time it was mainly because Alina killed many nobles in Siyuan City. After Brutus became Alina's guard captain, Elena stayed with Emperor Marius as Alina's substitute to take care of her - this could not only provide cover for Alina, but also facilitate timely contact between Emperor Marius and Alina, and at the same time protect the two siblings from retaliation.
However, the maids in the Governor's Mansion of Dilingang who dress so economically are the exception of Bucks.
Or rather, it was a special case after Li Ang moved in here...
Half of the reason is that the climate in the south is really hot, and it is really not suitable to wear too much.
The other half of the reason is that Leon is a young and handsome king, with a very good reputation in Bacchus, and his new Pendor Kingdom allows him to marry three wives...
The new decree issued by Li Ang spread throughout the continent in less than two months.
In fact, this was what Li Ang expected - he had originally intended to use this topic, which would surely attract everyone's attention, to introduce the so-called 'three essential items for marriage'...
That is to say, "having a car, a house and roasted lamb"...
People will automatically associate the fact that Li Ang married two beautiful queens at the same time and the buffet banquet that lasted for ten days in Changhe City with these events.
Most people would fantasize about whether they could hook up with several people at the same time like His Majesty Li Ang... Well, even if they can't hook up with several people at the same time, maybe they can find one more person - of course, if they have such an idea, they must first have the ability to match it...
Moreover, most women would envy the romantic rain of petals that was praised by the poets, the exquisite wedding dress and luxury car, and the banquet that shocked the whole continent...
As for people, when it comes to "some of the most important moments in life", they always have some thoughts, and the demand standards are naturally raised -
Whether you are a man or a woman, if you want to find multiple spouses, you must prepare more houses, right?
I don’t expect the wedding to be as luxurious as Li Ang’s, but flowers and a low-profile carriage are definitely necessary, right?
Most people can't afford a ten-day buffet, but there's definitely nothing wrong with having a whole roasted lamb at a wedding banquet, right?
If they don't even prepare a low-end version of the garage, wouldn't it seem like they're not sincere enough?
When doing business, you have to create a market environment first - especially the psychological environment of consumers.
Any sense of ritual that targets personal psychology, or anything that 'shows status' or 'can't be without', is actually for the purpose of selling products - this approach has existed from ancient times to the present, and will never go out of style.
But Li Ang did not expect the side effects of this sales strategy...
For example, now, the group of maids kept circling around him intentionally or unintentionally.
These maids are actually very obedient. They will carry out everything Le Ang says meticulously, except that they will not obey Wendy's orders - this is a very obedient behavior. They were sent by Alina to take care of Le Ang, and before Le Ang leaves, they should only listen to Le Ang's orders.
But they are also very unruly...
Some of them were quite confident about their looks and figures, and they even went to Li Ang's side to look for trouble, either bending down to sweep the peels or fallen leaves on the ground, or bending over and smiling to ask for what they needed, anyway, they wanted to let Li Ang see their full breasts or buttocks 'inadvertently'...
Wendy looked unhappy, but she was a well-educated elf queen and she couldn't blame the maids - they had indeed been doing their best to take care of the wounded, and nothing had gone wrong. Although they seemed a little too enthusiastic, it was definitely not a mistake.
Besides, those maids were not her subordinates, so there was no reason for Wendy to expel them for no reason...
However, she became more and more absent-minded in feeding Leon.
"Your right hand isn't injured... why do you always ask me to feed you..."
After stuffing a grape into Leon's mouth, Wendy finally expressed a little dissatisfaction, mainly because she felt that Leon looked particularly depraved.
It was indeed very depraved - because the wound needed frequent dressing changes, his left arm was in a sling, and he also had to avoid sweating, so Li Ang was shirtless and wore only a pair of shorts.
And this guy has been lying on the recliner, with his legs crossed high and his right hand resting behind his neck...
His eyes kept darting left and right, his gaze always wandering over those maids who were both cautious and extremely bold.
He doesn't look like a king at all, just a second-rate guy.
Maybe this is what a tyrant looks like?
"Doesn't this show the deep love between us? Besides, I can't peel the skin with one hand... Do you want them to feed you?... Pfft!"
Li Ang spat out the grape seeds and smacked his lips: "This grape is a bit sour..."
Then, his eyes fell to the side in front of him - a maid with a sexy figure immediately came over with a pottery jar, and immediately bent down to clean up the grape seeds he had spit out on the ground... But she didn't squat to pick them up, but just bent down with her legs stretched straight. Her peachy buttocks, long legs, and the bulge on her chest were all perfectly displayed by this action...
Thin clothes can't cover those parts that shouldn't be exposed in front of others...
Wendy clenched her fists tightly.
But she couldn't do anything to Li Ang at this time - Li Ang's wounds had just been bandaged.
“Does it look good?”
Wendy gritted her teeth as she picked up a bunch of grapes and selected them, picking out a few that were definitely not ripe and pinching them.
Very hard... Well, just these few.
Then she loosened her collar and sat next to Li Ang.
The jade-white cleavage on her chest successfully drew Leon's attention back.
"good……"
Li Ang had just opened his mouth to say half a word when Wendy stuffed a grape into his mouth.
“Wuwuwu…cough cough…”
Li Ang stared with his eyes wide open and wanted to vomit, but Wendy firmly closed his jaw...
After being forced to go through the entire process of swallowing with his teeth soured, legs stretched out and eyes wide open, Leon became obedient, looking at Wendy pitifully with tears brought out by the sourness of raw grapes.
Wendy turned her face away and snorted.
"You all should leave here, and ask Alina to come over..."
Li Ang turned around and gave instructions to the maids with a reluctant look on his face.
The maids all bowed and obediently left.
"Aren't you worried about the Snake Cult's troops? What if we fail to catch up with them..."
Seeing that there were no outsiders here, Wendy pouted and started talking about business.
In fact, Wendy knew Leon very well. After all, she knew Sarah - Sarah had been with Leon the longest, but Leon didn't even have any intention of falling for such a beautiful vixen. These maids from the Bacchus Empire should not be able to charm Leon.
But as a wife, Wendy was of course very uneasy...
"I am worried. That's why I have to cooperate with those maids. Do you think there are any spies of the Snake Cult among them?"
Leon winked at Wendy.
Wendy was stunned: "Do you think there are still enemies in Dilin Port? You want to disguise yourself as a lustful person to give the enemy an opportunity?"
"There is no Aziz Dahaka in the Snake Cult army, nor is there a clear leader. This is not normal. The enemy behind the scenes is most likely still in Imperial Harbor."
Li Ang said, glancing at Wendy's chest: "Besides, I am a lustful person, there is no need to pretend..."
"...Don't do this in broad daylight..."
Wendy blushed and quickly pulled up her collar: "Let's get down to business, what are you going to do?"
"The Snake Cult army heading north is not a big problem. They currently have at most 5,000 people. With several powerful armies chasing them all the way, even if they can reach Lake Eraklai, they won't be able to cause any big waves."
Li Ang said seriously: "On the contrary, the person who caused Kairos and Antonius to become vampires is the enemy that must be eliminated. If I am not mistaken, this person should be the messenger left by Kavala on the earth, his last 'chosen one'."
Wendy was silent for a while and sighed: "But we don't know who that person is, nor do we know where he is..."
"He must be here."
Li Ang pointed to the high archway of the courtyard and said, "This courtyard is the home of Kairos and Antonius. It is also the place where Antonius was captured by General Sura. Many people in Dilin Port were killed by Azi Dahaka, but everyone here is safe and sound... This is why I want to live here."
"Didn't General Sura clean up the people here? All the people in Kailos' family were sent as slaves. Now everyone in this yard belongs to Alina."
Wendy frowned. "Alina also lives here. There are guards everywhere. Klose and the others are also guarding the outer courtyard. That person can't possibly stay here, right?"
"It's because this place has been cleaned up by Sura, and everyone thinks there will be no more enemies here, so the enemies are more likely to come here."
Li Ang nodded and said, "This person should be an inconspicuous lurker, not good at fighting, but very good at disguise. Anson had seen that person in Breitwyn, and had fought with him - even Anson could snatch Antonius from him, so you can imagine how poor that person's combat ability is... and it just so happens that Alina has many people under her command who are good at lurking and disguising but have very poor combat ability..."
"Venomous snake?"
Wendy responded.
She has a good relationship with Alina, and she also knows that Alina has a group of professional spies who are good at gathering intelligence, which is the organization of the dead face who originally hired Lisa Dilan to assassinate Leon.
That was originally an intelligence organization established by Justus, and it has always been Alina's most important source of intelligence.
Now that Alina lives in Kairos' courtyard, those vipers will naturally come here to report to Alina - they certainly have the ability and reason to come back here. The most dangerous place is the safest place, and everyone engaged in espionage work can realize this.
"So how do we dig him out?"
Wendy looked around and listened carefully to the noises around her, probably because she was worried that someone might be eavesdropping.
With Wendy's hearing ability, if they were in the wild, no one could get close to her without her noticing. But now there were too many people in this house, and it was difficult for Wendy to distinguish between friend and foe from all the noise.
"I plan to take advantage of my injury to show my obscene hobbies as a lecher more clearly..."
Li Ang was also worried that someone might eavesdrop, so he took Wendy's hand, pulled her to his side, and whispered something to her.
"What?!"
Wendy frowned after hearing this, very unhappy: "No! That's too dangerous!"
"It's more dangerous on the battlefield. The brothers suffered heavy losses this time. I really don't want to fight anymore. It's best to solve it this way."
Li Ang sighed: "Besides...I had to stay here to attend the funeral of His Majesty Marius."
The losses were indeed great. In the Battle of Salem, four hundred people were killed and four hundred were injured. In the Battle of Buyulin, nearly a thousand people were killed and more than a thousand were injured.
Moreover, most of were the elite troops under Leon, including the Griffin Knights, the Silver Hand and the Free Legion, all of whom were his core team.
The Noldor elves also suffered more than 300 casualties in the Battle of Bjurlin, including more than 30 members of the guard. For the Noldor elves, this was the biggest loss in recent years. The last time Aldarian was defeated by the Jatu and Misty Mountaineers, there was not such a heavy loss.
Although Agasson was the direct cause of these losses, it was ultimately due to the Snake Cult of Kavala - if Kavala had not caused trouble, if the Noldor Forest had not been burned, Leon would never have fought against the Bacchus Empire.
Li Ang no longer wanted to use human lives to achieve victory. Such victories looked glorious, but were painful.
He wanted to use himself as bait to lure out the mastermind behind the scenes, and use this man's head and Cavala's complete defeat to commemorate Emperor Marius.
