Chapter 830: A ’Guest’ In City Lord’s Mansion (Part 3)
This daughter of Skyward City’s lord wasn’t as arrogant and domineering as the stories suggested.
People said she’d kidnap any handsome man and beautiful woman she saw, but that seemed to be an exaggeration.
Within half a day, word had spread throughout Skyward City that Sehyun Wang had "forcibly taken" two strikingly beautiful women and handsome men off the streets and brought them back to her manor.
That’s the power of gossip—no one cares if it’s true or not.
The more outrageous it is, the more people listen.
Of course, there were always those who were jealous, spreading rumors with malicious intent.
The City Lord’s mansion was located at the end of Skyward City’s main street.
It was an impressive building, every brick, and tile glistening in the sunlight with a golden glow.
From a distance, it seemed as if the roof of the mansion was covered in gold, creating a striking and beautiful appearance.
In reality, it was adorned with golden glazed tiles.
Even the extravagant City Lord’s mansion couldn’t afford to have actual gold covering all the roofs.
Otherwise, the cost of protecting the mansion from thieves breaking in at night to steal the golden tiles would be immense.
Nevertheless, even with just the golden-glazed tiles, there were still occasional attempts at theft.
"This is my home," Sehyun Wang said proudly, clearly very proud of the City Lord’s mansion.
Her expression was full of pride as she spoke.
Amalia glanced around, quickly understanding why people outside often said Sehyun Wang’s manor was filled with beautiful women and handsome men.
The mansion’s servants were indeed mostly have beautiful and handsome appearance, and all of them were attractive compared to ordinary people.
Both female and male servants almost have the same numbers.
Sehyun Wang’s pursuit of beauty was extreme, not only reflected in people but also in the food, clothing, and decor.
Even the stone path that led to the main hall was made of colorful agate stones, which made it look like a rainbow bridge.
"Master, you’ve finally returned," a handsome man emerged from the main hall, looking delighted.
However, when he noticed Amalia and Kenny Lin’s presence, his expression shifted slightly. "Who are these two?"
"Futa, you’ve come just in time. These two are my honored guests. They’ll be staying at the mansion for the next five days, so make sure to take good care of them."
Now that she had successfully brought them to her mansion, Sehyun Wang was overjoyed and failed to notice the brief look of discomfort on the handsome man’s face.
"Of course," Futa replied, his smile a bit stiff.
"Then I’ll leave it to you," Sehyun Wang said, giving him a hearty pat on the shoulder.
She then turned and, with a fawning look, addressed Amalia and Kenny Lin, "Amalia, Brother Lin, let me show you to your rooms."
"You’re going to take us?" Amalia asked, raising an eyebrow with a smile.
"Of course! Since you’re my esteemed guests, it’s only right that I personally lead you. It shows how much I respect you, doesn’t it?" Sehyun Wang said enthusiastically.
Amalia smiled, "Then lead the way."
"If you smile at her again, I’ll turn around and leave," Kenny Lin sent her a telepathic message, laced with a hint of threat.
Amalia’s smile faded, and she glanced at him knowingly. "She’s trying to marry you."
Kenny Lin snorted, "I don’t care. I just don’t like seeing you smile at other women or men. You didn’t used to smile so much."
Amalia: "Maybe it’s because you changed me. When I first met you, who would have thought that you were the ultimate drama King?"
Kenny Lin was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. "So, I’m the one who changed you?"
As for the latter part of Amalia’s statement, he conveniently ignored it, pretending he hadn’t heard it.
He was satisfied, having heard exactly what he wanted.
Amalia didn’t respond.
Kenny Lin didn’t care.
He was practically floating as he walked.
"Yuri, what’s going on with those people?" As soon as the master and her guests had left, Futa’s face darkened, and he questioned Yuri.
It wasn’t the first time the master had brought beautiful women and handsome men back to the mansion.
She’d done it countless times, and he had never minded.
But when he saw these two people, a sense of danger arose in him instantly.
This feeling of unease was unprecedented, unsettling him deeply.
Before, when the master brought people back, he felt no threat because he was confident he wouldn’t lose to those people.
But these two people were different.
Without even competing, he could already tell that he was at a disadvantage, and not by a small margin.
"You saw it yourself. The master has simply invited them as guests," Yuri replied calmly.
"Many people the master invites as ’guests’ end up staying at the mansion," Futa said with a dark expression.
"The master never forces anyone. If they choose to stay, she won’t refuse."
Futa’s face darkened further.
He was well aware of the master’s charm.
Though her appearance was ordinary, she possessed an interesting soul.
Superficial people wouldn’t notice, but those who took the time could see it clearly.
"Futa, the master trusts you very much. That’s why you’ve been made the head steward. Don’t harbor any thoughts you shouldn’t," Yuri said sharply, her gaze piercing with a warning.
"Are you reminding me to know my place?" Futa clenched his fists.
"Exactly," Yuri said bluntly. "The master despises those who cross boundaries. If you do something you shouldn’t, she may ask you to leave the City Lord’s mansion."
Those words drained the color from Futa’s face, leaving him deflated.
He would rather stay by the master’s side forever than be forced to leave the mansion and possibly never see her again.
Yuri finished her warning and walked away, catching up with the master.
"Futa, what should we do?" A few other servants approached him.
They were among those who had voluntarily stayed at the mansion.
