Inside the wardrobe.
Luvia was pressed against the wooden board of the wardrobe by a huge force. A slender hand was choking her throat from the front without any concealment. With exquisite strength, she was able to maintain a certain degree of breathing, but her ability to speak was temporarily sealed.
She instinctively reached out and grabbed the hand that was strangling her throat, trying to pry it away. But what made her feel helpless was that the other party's wrist was like a vise, not moving an inch. His strength was far beyond that of a human's.
Even if she activated her 'Enhancement Technique,' she could not move the other party at all.
She even felt that she might die in this Stripped City.
"Listen carefully. My target is not you."
However, the next moment, to her surprise, the other party took the initiative to explain to her. "The reason why I'm hiding here is because it's convenient to eavesdrop on the conversation in the hall. I'm not targeting you."
Ryuga tried to use words to break down the other party's vigilance.
If they were on equal footing, the possibility of convincing the other party to believe this was not high. But now, the other party's life was in his hands. The degree of trust in these words had increased to the point where the other party had no choice but to believe it.
"My target is Monarch Ermero II."
At the same time, Ryuga loosened his grip on the other party's wrist. At least, it was no longer a problem for the other party to speak. But if he wanted to, he could easily break the other party's neck with just a little bit of force.
Even if he was a magician, he would still die after suffering such a fatal injury.
Luvia seemed to understand this. After Ryuga loosened his grip on her wrist, she only gasped for air and did not scream for help.
Once she screamed for help, the people outside might be able to break in, but she would definitely die before she could be rescued.
Until now, when she was face-to-face with Ryuga, she finally realized that he was different from humans. Although she was a magician and usually practiced some self-defense spells, it was impossible for her to fight against an alien whose strength was far above her at such a close distance.
Under such circumstances, as long as she was not an idiot, she would not recklessly resist.
"Milady?"
Kulang's puzzled voice came from outside the door. "What happened? I heard a crash. "
"No … nothing, I just accidentally bumped into the wardrobe."
Inside the wardrobe, Luvia deliberately explained to the servant outside the door, "I'm still changing. You don't have to come in."
"… I understand."
Kulang was stunned for a moment before replying in a muffled voice.
Perhaps he had noticed that something was wrong with Luvia, but under her insistence not to come in, he didn't dare to force his way in.
Luvia heaved a sigh of relief when she didn't hear the sound of someone breaking in. She looked at Ryuga in front of her.
Only now did the two of them have enough time to size each other up.
Ryuga was still using the appearance of a young man. Although it was exhausting and taxing on her mana to maintain this appearance, she still had to use it when necessary.
This state was enough to hide his real body, making it difficult for these magicians who could kill people with magic from thousands of miles away.
Moreover, his appearance in this state was handsome enough. His cold expression and the stripes on his neck added a touch of devilish charm to him. It was easy to soften the hearts of some women.
However, it seemed that the blonde woman in front of him was not one of them.
She was a young girl with golden curly hair. Her eyes were the same amber color as Ryuga's. They were as dazzling as gems. Her appearance was also very outstanding. Although she looked like a prisoner at the moment, the pride behind her eyes still gave the impression of a swan's nobility.
She was wearing a set of white printed pajamas. The texture should be extremely smooth silk. There were quite a lot of frills on the edges, making this pajamas look quite cute and expensive.
Moreover, even if she was wearing pajamas, her slender waist and tall figure could still be seen. The ratio of her legs to her body could be said to be impeccable.
Because of the struggle just now, the button on her neck had been undone at some point, revealing her milk-white skin.
Ryuga's eyes slightly darkened.
The other party's exposed skin had a fatal attraction to the malnourished him. It made him really want to pounce on the other party and eat her. In the physical sense, he wanted to eat her alive and spatter her blood.
Ryuga suppressed the instinct in his body. It was not convenient for him to attack the other party now, at least not until he reached an agreement with the other party.
"It seems that this time, it's my bad luck?"
Although the blonde curly hair girl was being held hostage, her tone still naturally maintained elegance. Her gem-like amber eyes looked up and down Ryuga's body.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Luvia, Luvia Selinta Edfeld. I'm a member of the magician family from Finland."
The panic from being held hostage by Ryuga had disappeared from her body. Perhaps she still had fear in her heart, but at least her face and words did not show the slightest bit of it.
This was a girl with a strong psychological quality. For a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, it was really commendable.
"You can just call me Yin-yang."
As usual, Ryuga gave her a fake name. Even if the other party did not dare to have any intentions at the moment, he was equally vigilant against all magicians.
"Like I said to you just now, my goal is Monarch Ermero II, so I won't hurt you, but I hope you can provide me with some help."
If you don't help, then I will really hurt you.
This was the subtext hidden in this sentence.
As the young master of the magician family, Luvia naturally understood Ryuga's words.
"I see. As long as I can help, I'm happy to do so."
Luvia's face showed a smile, and she simply agreed to Ryuga's request.
She had to agree.
If she did not agree, this strange creature with a demonic aura might pounce on her and devour her in the next moment.
Luvia couldn't help but shudder at the thought that she hadn't died in a proper magic battle, but had instead been eaten by monsters. She had died a miserable and bloody death.
"Okay, then we have reached an agreement for the time being."
Ryuga withdrew his hand from Luvia's neck and told her the plan he had already thought of. "The rule of the City of Stripping is that only one servant can stay, right? You let all your servants leave here, and I will pretend to be your servant. Give me a chance to get close to Ermero II. "
