Leon looked at Leini with a helpless expression.
He just didn't know what to do with the girl.
Anger still burned in his heart; he hated when people tried to manipulate him.
However, he couldn't figure out what was happening to her.
And worse, how she managed to charm him.
"Please forgive me, cough, cough, cough, I don't know anything, no, don't hurt me, please."
Leini was still kneeling on the floor trying to catch her breath. Her eyes could arouse anyone's sympathy.
(So this was that bastard's plan... He sent this girl to manipulate me...)
"To be honest, I have no idea what I should do with you, so before I think of any punishment, let's find out more about you."
"Nyu."
"Midnight-sama, what are your orders?"
"Eh?!"
Leini looked at the girl in black who had suddenly appeared, shocked, as if she had come out of nowhere, but the mere sight of her left Leini too scared to move.
Leini realized at that moment that although the Ministry of Magic, where her father was imprisoned, was terrible, the prince in front of her seemed even more terrifying.
Although Nyu still couldn't understand what was happening, she had already figured out that something was going on with the girl lying on the ground.
"Nyu, call Eta."
"I believe she's in our fortress conducting her experiments."
Leon quickly opened a spatial portal to Night Raid's stronghold.
Nyu nodded and immediately followed. Just a minute later, she returned to the castle carrying a purple-haired elf with a sleepy expression.
"Midnight-sama, I'm back."
"Hmm, thank you for your hard work. Please step back."
"Yes."
Just as she had appeared silently, she now disappeared silently, replaced by an extremely beautiful and lazy elf.
She was rubbing her eyes after just waking up and looked at Leon in confusion.
"Master, do you have any missions for me? Hmm, I'm so sleepy~ But if you rub my head, I'll become more energetic."
Eta yawned, then threw herself into Leon's lap, who knowingly gave her a knee pillow.
Leon raised his hand and touched her hair, dumbfounded. She had the straightest hair in all of Night Raid, but it was always messy because she never took care of it.
Leini also widened her eyes, surprised by the gentle smile that Leon showed at that moment.
"You're so lazy. You've been staying up late doing experiments again, haven't you?"
"Hmm~~ Because the knowledge Master taught me is so interesting, and I don't have enough time. Ah, I have a good idea. Is there a drug that makes me not need to sleep?"
"There's no such thing, but I can teach you how to make coffee next time. That should help."
"Now, I want you to find out what's different about this girl. Take it easy, ok?"
"Okay~~!"
Eta reluctantly got up from his lap.
But even though Leon told her to take it easy, her sinister smile and the scalpel in her hand would send chills down anyone's spine.
Although her direct combat ability is basically zero, she's ranked high on the "People You Shouldn't Mess With in Night Raid" list, which is updated every year.
Eta's rank is basically second.
For her, there are only two important things in life: the first is to serve Leon, and the second is to do experiments.
With Eta's creativity, even building a nuclear bomb won't be impossible in the future—and she would do anything for Leon without hesitation.
For example, if you put everyone in the world and Leon together and asked her to choose one to survive, Eta would decisively choose the latter without even a trace of hesitation.
This is Eta!
By the way, number one in this ranking is obviously Alpha.
In the past, a certain stupid wolf girl boldly claimed she would take Alpha's top spot and have several cubs with Leon. As a result, she was directly beaten by the blonde elf.
"Eta, don't forget what I said—take it easy."
"Well, I understand, Master."
Unlike the expression of despair and fear on Leini's face, Eta had a bright smile on her face. She thought to herself that it had been a long time since she'd done an experiment in her master's castle.
"So, let's get started…"
--+--
....after a long time...
"Ahh~ Master, I like you so much. You found such a rare test subject for me. I'm so happy~"
Eta hugged Leon with great joy.
If you ignore her nature, the look on her face was very cute.
(Damn, I should have called someone else—now Leini is traumatized.)
Leini was lying on the testing table, shaking. She examined her body in panic and was moved to tears when she saw her hands and feet were still intact.
"Yeah, yeah, I know you're happy and all, but tell me—what's different about this girl?"
"She's a vampire~ And very powerful. Master, I'm requesting permission for full dissection!"
"Ugh, let's talk about that later. Just give me the information first."
Leon raised his hand and flicked Eta's forehead.
"Vampires are just humans who possess magic stones. To elaborate, they're basically humanoid monsters. I think they weren't born naturally but were created by someone in the past. They are descended from vampires."
Hearing Eta's words, Leon's expression darkened a bit. He hated this kind of thing more than anything.
"Teacher?"
"Ahem, it's nothing."
"A vampire's ability is probably to absorb magical power by sucking blood and turning the victim into a subordinate. Other abilities include self-regeneration and the power to enchant with magical eyes."
Eta looked at Leini with burning eyes.
She couldn't wait to dissect her completely—especially the magic stone buried in the girl's heart.
To her, this girl now had the same level of charm as a dragon.
"Seriously, what do I do with you, Leini."
"Don't kill me. I don't know what I did to make His Highness so angry, but I swear I won't do it again."
Leini couldn't understand the conversation between the two, but she felt her life was in danger.
"Even while speaking, you're using your charm powers. Honestly, if you're trying to convince me not to hand you over to Eta, you should try harder," Leon said with a sigh, while Eta's eyes sparkled.
However, just as she was about to say something, the door to the underground laboratory opened, and the green-haired witch walked in expressionlessly.
"CC? Why are you here?"
"Leon, can you not kill this girl?"
Leon never imagined that the immortal witch would come asking for something like this. He raised his eyebrows with a surprised expression, while Eta's eyebrows furrowed.
