Cheat Awakening

Chapter 386. Undercurrents of Loyalty

"Huh...? Your Highness Princess! What are you doing here? Sorry, I mean, how may I help you?"

A good-looking girl who was casually reading an alchemy book on her desk noticed someone approaching her. With a sigh, she put down the book and looked up, but upon seeing the other party's familiar face, which bore some resemblance to her boss, she exclaimed, but halfway through, noticing Sylphy's frown, she changed her words and asked with a smile.

"I wanted to see my brother. Please take us to his office?"

Sylphy, who was too lazy to deal with a puny receptionist girl spoke expressionlessly. She wasn't even in the mood to correct her, despite the receptionist addressing her with her former title. From the entrance to the receptionist desk, more than a dozen people had greeted her with her ex-title, and she now becomes numb from it.

"Ah, of course. Please follow me, Your Highness." Although she doesn't understand why Sylphy mentioned us instead of me, despite being alone, not daring to displease someone of Sylphy's calibre who could easily eat away her job with a few words, the receptionist girl led Sylphy to Lewis's office. She even took the initiative to shoo away a few random flies that wanted to greet Sylphy."

Knock-Knock!

As soon as the receptionist girl knocked, the door opened, revealing a middle-aged redhead beauty with big breasts and a voluptuous figure. Her questioning look vanished as soon as her eyes fell on Sylphy and a surprise replaced it. But didn't stay dazed for too long and gestured for the receptionist girl to go back before ushering Sylphy inside. This all transpired in seconds, with no words spoken.

Myne, who had become invisible with his skills and trailing behind Sylphy the entire time, was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that women would have this level of understanding between each other.

"Elsa, who was it? Please tell me it wasn't someone with more paperwork. I'm drowning in it already! Are you trying to kill me with workload? Also, why can't you sign them in my place? Don't you usually do it anyway," Lewis grumbled irritably.

He sat at a desk piled high with papers, signing them like a machine on overload without even reading, sweat dripping down his face like rain.

He hadn't expected that right after mentioning to his personal secretary that he was taking leave for a few weeks because of family reasons, his heartless secretary, whom he knew from childhood, would force him to stay behind and sign crucial documents while he was still on duty as clan leader.

"So, this is how you manage your clan, huh? No wonder I always felt there was something wrong with how you usually behave and how your clan actually works. So, this is all thanks to Sister Elsa, who handles everything you're supposed to, while you amuse yourself in your creepy labs all day.

I will tell Mother about this, so she at least stops giving us your example of being successful," Sylphy, surprised at seeing the mountain of paper in front of Lewis, said jokingly to lighten his mood.

But unlike her, Myne wasn't as calm as her. After seeing the mountain of papers and Lewis, who was working his ass off with a tired face as if he might collapse at any moment, he was frightened to death. Instantly, thoughts of not running a clan entered his mind. Sadly, now it was too late for retreat, and even if he wanted to do it, his overpowering wives would never agree.

He also wanted to make a big clan so he could give his other wives a good home where everyone could live peacefully with himself. So now he could only bite the bullet and continue on this plan, but he decided that he would give all authority of the clan to his wives so they could help him deal with paperwork, at least.

"Huh? Sylphy?!"

[Soul Companion (Exclusive Title)]

A title earned by the host after making up their mind and vowing to give their everything to a certain person. That person becomes the sole motivation for the host's entire life, and they would sacrifice their own life without hesitation for that person's sake.

Title effects: 1. Trust between both parties increases to the maximum.

2. They can understand each other's emotions and feel extremely comfortable being together.

3. ??? ( Unlocked when the last barrier between both parties is broken and they confess their true feelings for each other. )

Hmm, so this is the source of their mysterious bond, huh? But it seems like their relationship hasn't progressed beyond close friends. It's probably because my idiot brother-in-law only knows how to smash his empty head into weird things, instead of looking around himself carefully.

Otherwise, even a blind person could see that the way Elsa treats and does things for him is clearly more than what a close friend should do. Sigh, if Elsa doesn't take the initiative to disclose her love, she'll only suffer silently and one day she will surely lose this idiot.

After all, Lewis is a prince. How long can he stay single? It's only a matter of time before he's forced to get married, like Sylphy. And if we follow the usual script of novels, then there's a high chance that Elsa, in fear of getting rejected and losing Lewis, would only suffer in her heart and would never muster the courage to take the final step, while watching her love snatching by someone else.

Sigh, it seems like I have to talk to my mother-in-law. Otherwise, such a good woman would only suffer silently in front of me, which is completely against my morals. Also, if I help my future sister-in-law, who manages the entire clan, to get her love when she desperately needs it, then won't she help her little brother-in-law as well to take care of his clan?

Now this is called killing multiple birds with one stone, I am really a genius, Thinking such Myne's eyes brightened as he immediately added this matter to his "Must To-Do" list before casting a quick glance at Elsa's skills, while Sylphy and Lewis remained immersed in their family drama.
