Transmigrated as Baron, Married with my Lovely Maid-Chapter 62

After the commotion between the former venture soldiers, Leysha and I returned to Aaren’s golden palace.

I had already instructed Alex to retrain the former venture soldiers who had agreed to join Vermillion.

Now, Leysha and I walked through the palace hallways, with golden floors and walls surrounding us.

The palace maids, who had recovered from the Great Wyvern’s poison, greeted us warmly on each side of the hallway.

"Everything is golden... it feels like I’m walking through a fantasy palace, Baron Atreus," Leysha murmured, still mesmerized by the golden walls and floors.

I looked at Leysha’s mesmerized face beside me and held back my laughter.

"This palace is indeed full of gold, Leysha... but it’s not as beautiful as you imagine," I said.

"Ah, yes, Baron. From the story the Baron told me in that letter... I think I’d rather live in the Vermillion Palace with you than in a golden palace bound by King Bahamut’s curse..." Leysha replied.

"No one would want to be a pawn living in this palace full of illusions just to maintain the curse of the dragon Bahamut. By the way, what about your findings about Baroness Sheiza?"

"Oh, yes, Baron Atreus. I managed to find this book." Leysha slowly pulled out a book with a black cover and black paper.

At first, I was confused by the all-black page on black book; feels like someone had burned it.

But as I held the all-black book, I could feel a powerful magical flow gathering within.

In the middle of my steps, I opened the book, stared at one of the black pages, and concentrated fully on reading.

At first, nothing was visible, but gradually, as my magic flowed into the book, I saw faint letters.

I concentrated even more deeply, using the power of the Black Star, so the writing became clearer.

A note from Lord Vermillion about the curse of King Bahamut:

"...King Victor Dragomir has gone mad. He divided King Bahamut into three, and instead of mastering it, he opened up a new source of trouble: the curse of King Bahamut. The more they divide King Bahamut to weaken it, the stronger the curse becomes, which means more people will have to be sacrificed. Even Duke Archer’s wife and daughter have fallen victim to it. It’s utterly senseless and heartless."

I paused for a moment as I read Lord Vermillion’s note, which more or less aligned with Countess Azalea’s information about her and her daughter being sacrificed to separate King Bahamut’s body.

I flipped to the next page, still black, trying to find any clues that Lord Vermillion might have a way, a key, an item, or anything that could provide some light to weaken the seal on King Bahamut.

I tried to concentrate again, but even with the Black Star’s help, I still couldn’t make out the letters clearly.

What’s going on?

Are my magic powers not strong enough?

I tried to concentrate even harder, to the point where I stopped walking for a moment.

My Black Star was strengthened, and then—

"WHOOSSH...!"

Suddenly, black flames erupted, engulfing the black book.

Oh shit, I was concentrating too hard!

"Baron Atreus! Let go!" Leysha quickly grabbed her golden staff and slapped my hand away, which was still holding the book.

The blue crystal at the tip of her golden staff flashed brightly, suppressing the black flames that threatened to consume the black book.

Oh my...if Leysha had been even a few seconds slower, the black book would have been destroyed, and all the clues I needed from Lord Vermillion would have been lost!

"Baron Atreus... I also had a similar problem reading the next page. But at that time, my magic wasn’t strong enough, so the magic writing couldn’t be seen. Unlike Baron Atreus, whose magic was too strong, it wasn’t magic writing that appeared, but a fierce black flame that would incinerate everything," Leysha explained, taking back the black book.

"Well... I never expected the effect to be like that, Leysha. So... what should I do? Lower my magic power? But if I do that... the magic writing becomes invisible..."

Leysha didn’t answer immediately.

Her attention was still focused on the black book, then slowly she looked back at me.

"Baron Atreus... if you look at the following pages, there are some notes about Baroness Sheiza, whose curse of King Bahamut is the most severe, compared to Countess Azalea and the warriors of the golden mountain of Aaren." Leysha said, flipping through the pages again and showing me a note from Lord Vermillion, which read:

"Baroness Sheiza ran to Vermillion Palace just to beg for my help and safety because the curse of King Bahamut on her body is too severe, and she feels there’s no way back. But I don’t think so. The key to salvation lies within her. Only she can save himself."

I frowned, trying to reassess what Lord Vermillion wanted to say about this.

But I had no clue about it.

Leysha looked at me, understanding my confused expression.

"Baron Atreus... how about we meet with Baroness Sheiza? I’m sure we’ll come up with something with Lord Vermillion’s guidance..." Leysha said, taking my hand.

"Sure... follow me, Leysha."

I held Leysha’s hand tightly and entered a private room, which was quite luxurious and furnished.

In that room, Baroness Sheiza was tied to the bed with special magical chains because she would go berserk if her curse of King Bahamut awoke.

Leysha hurriedly approached Baroness Sheiza and carefully examined her from head to toe.

Her attention was initially drawn to the horns on Baroness Sheiza’s head, then to the red veins visible on her face, and then down to...

...her crotch.

Or more precisely, to the armor underwear covering her crotch.

"This seal is the source of the problem, Baron Atreus," Leysha said calmly.

"Does it have anything to do with Lord Vermillion’s black book? I—"

Wait a minute.

I suddenly noticed a faint magical flow coming from the armor panties covering Baroness Sheiza’s crotch.

I traced the magical flow to a page in the black book that was still difficult to open.

"Leysha...come here," I called out to Leysha.

Leysha approached, the black book still in her right hand.

"Yes, Baron Atreus...?" Leysha asked, confused.

"Try putting the black book on the wooden table near the bed," I said, pointing to the teak table to the east of the bed.

Leysha immediately walked over to the table and placed the black book on it.

But the magical flow disappeared instantly.

"Oh...try holding the black book again, Leysha." I said quickly.

Leysha slowly placed her right palm on the black book’s page, and the magical lines reappeared, even clearer than before.

If I traced it further, I saw a new magical line emerging from the black book, reaching Leysha’s lower body, more specifically, her crotch.

Leysha, with her back to me and her face looking up at me, was still waiting for my reaction.

I knew she was confused by all this, but I had a clear picture.

Heh... Lord Vermillion, I suppose I should thank you for that hint.

"Leysha, stay there... don’t go anywhere..." I said as I took off my shirt and pants and walked over to Leysha.

I hugged Leysha from behind, and she was shocked to feel my erect cock rubbing against her buttocks.

"E-ehh...?! Baron Atreus...?! W-would you like... t-that..."

Leysha’s face flushed with embarrassment, but I knew her warm breath welcomed my embrace.

"Yes, Leysha. I want us both to melt into this warmth... for... the good of all of us..."

"E-even in front of Baroness Sheiza...?"

"Yes... that’s precisely what Lord Vermillion wants, dear..."
