3 Maid

Today is Leonard's second day alive after being pulled back once again in this world of "The Supreme Harem Conqueror". He still feels iffy that he wasted 50,000 points but he simply has no choice on things.

"L-Leonard?"

"Yes?"

Leonard answered his father's call and continued to eat. The reason why they are so surprised is because his table manners are impeccable.

Even Lenneza is looking at him with surprise, her ice-cold attitude is not present there at all she's very immersed in Leonard who's eating with such dignity.

Leonard was eating leisurely, not being affected by anything at all. He is still trying to get a hold of his bloodline. The reason he suppressed it by the use of System's shop is because the amount he needed to use it will drain a significant amount of points.

"Father."

Leonard spoke, his voice clear like spring.

"Y-yes Leo?"

"My Ruby from Mother is missing."

"!!!"

This caused an alarm, but there is someone else who caused such distress. Because Leonard looked at Julie. Leonard and her eyes met briefly but that was enough to put cold sweat on Julie's back.

[Plot Mission]

[Throw the head maid away, her actions may be discreet but not fully hidden. Expose her actions as a villain would.

Reward: 400 points

Penalty: Emotional Damage.]

Leonard stared in the air briefly, this mission was so easy the tips of his lips couldn't help but tug upwards.

Lenneza however saw his brief look in the open air and nodded, she managed to clear such suspicions.

"H-How are you so calm Leonard?! That's your mother's Ruby!"

Leonard's father, Richard screamed in anguish. That Ruby is special, very special.

"I'm calm for a reason."

"Leo?"

"The Royal decree states that anyone who steals from a noble deserves the following punishments: one, amputation of the hand," Leonard took a piece of beef to his mouth and chewed thoroughly. "Two, exile from the household and the display of crime so no other households accept them. And lastly, the third punishment, requires that the robber stole an item or items equivalent to 100,000 Oles."

Leonard placed his cutlery on the table and wiped his mouth.

"Father"

Leonard looked at Richards's eyes like there was nothing wrong. Richard is already breaking some sweat.

"How much is Mother's Ruby if sold?"

"W-why would—"

"Just answer please"

"It would be equivalent to 250,000 Oles"

Leonard nodded in understanding and took the tiny plate on his left side that handles dessert. He took a bite and his eyes sparkled.

"Right, so whoever stole my mother's Ruby deserves punishment. Right Father?"

"Y-yes"

Leonard took the fork on his left side of the plate, he wouldn't have any use for this since he was eating a soft dessert. He nodded and embedded mana into it.

Lenneza flinched as she felt the mana being embedded in the fork. 'Wait… don't tell me!' Lenneza became wary.

And just as she thought, Leonard threw the fork towards the head of Maid Julie.

"Eek!"

However, Julie got saved By Lenneza, as she blocked the fork with a plate and it shattered into a hundred pieces on the ground.

When Julie realized she was saved by the plate that Lenneza lifted she fell on her knees. This caused Richard to be surprised.

"Leo?!"

"Julie, Julie was the one who stole it," Leonard affirmed

He then proceeds to casually eat his dessert.

"It's best if we report her stealing and just leave her to die after being beaten on the street. That way her impudence could be known through the entire fief" Leonard added.

"L-Leo I think you're too much!"

Lenneza spoke in a worried tone.

"shut up."

Leonard looked at Lenneza with scorn. Lenneza couldn't help but flinch, 'Is it because she's too young that her icy attitude is not present? Well, it doesn't matter.

"Leo, I agree with Lenneza, so calm down… she doesn't need to be killed."

Leonard looked at his father, Richard. This man is full of greed, it's just a shame he isn't stupid. So he just shrugged, he already knew why he didn't want to kill the head maid.

The Ruby from my mother is my Mother's blood. That's why. If he ever killed Julie he would need to report why, the laws are strict here. And if they find out that my father fucked off fairy kin, shit will go down.

"Hmm… but she still stole something that exceeds the value of 100,000 oles."

"Right, right. Why not have some sympathy and just fire her with a black mark in her career?" Richard negotiated.

"Fine."

Leonard backed off, that much is enough. Julie would get kicked and Leonard wouldn't have to suffer the penalty.

I was satisfied by the outcome and finished my plate, I started walking out of the room and left everyone there in disbelief at what just happened.

Especially Lenneza, her expression is quite priceless for Leonard as she was utterly confused.

'No way! It couldn't be!' she thought.

She looked at the shard of the plate in her hands, she still hasn't let go of it.

'I have to put more mana than usual

"Julie, I can't believe you'd do that!"

"M-master I'm sorry! I-i thought it was just a ruby!"

"Silence!"

Lenneza couldn't help but sigh and leave the dining room, she just placed the shard of the plate on the table and walked out.

"Did… did he go back as well… no... No... The wish… the wish has probably been made properly."

In Leonard's room, he is looking at a floating screen in front of him.

[You're rewarded with 400 points]

"Right, points"

Right now Leonard is thinking of a way to use those points, he still has the 2,000 points from back then, he never knew he would still get a chance to use them.

"Ugh… let's store them for later, I have no use for them right now."

Leonard took out his notebook once again and started writing in his diary. He couldn't help but do this as it was his habit.

"Right, now what's next?"

He got the maid thrown out way too early. And the start of the plot would still be about two years from now on.

So he's practically free to himself. He has to prepare for years of being a villain, might as well use the time he has to build his force.

"The slums might be a good place to find things. And if I'm not wrong she's there too."

Leonard thought to himself, Slums is a trash heap in which you could find a buried, unpolished gem. His plan is quite simple, find that unpolished gem and use it for his own.

"Yeah, that might be a good thing."

"Oh please! No! It hurts!"

Suddenly Leonard's Fairy blood reacted to a negative thought, he heard a voice begging for something to stop.

"What the fuck…"

"Please! It hurts! Stop it!"

He heard it again and now it was crying as if something was haunting or worse hitting it.

Leonard became alarmed and stood up, he walked around the room and started trying to find where the voice came from, from the upper floors to the first floor.

Their mansion is about 4 floors so he got confused about where the voices came from. "On which floor…" the voices sounded like a child.

He refused to believe that it was a ghost because if so then the mages in the tower would've flocked to the mansion to study the ethereal creature.

"tsk, where is it?"

The voice stopped already but he still wanted to know where it was from, the voice was from a child, he couldn't possibly ignore that, he was just playing as a villain here.

"That child is near!"

When Leonard went to the bottom floor he saw his father come out under the stairs, but there was nothing in there. He pretty much knew the nook and cranny of the mansion so it's impossible that there is something there.

Unless…

Leonard ran up the stairs without any sound, he became suspicious of his father even more, on his first run into the original world. His father was greedy, he would take business after business even though they were not lacking in money.

He would take and take, but he was pragmatic enough to make a decision. He died after being backstabbed by one of his aids but that was when Leonard was already 15 years old.

He went back to his room filled with sweat. He suspects that his father might be a paedophile. And if that is true he doesn't have any guilty conscience killing him.

But he shouldn't go to conclusions yet, he had to meet the child.

"Store."

The store in the system opens like a ui interface in front of him, it was filled with items from tangible to intangible, like

[Year worth of Impure Mana {100points} {Temporary}].

"shadow Arts, search"

[Shadow Arts{1,500points} {Permanent}]

What Leonard was buying right now is knowledge of how to use shadow arts, he already knew them but he just needed a starter.

Since if he tried to forcefully learn shadow arts it would be like trying to run 10 kilometres unlike buying it on the system in which he would be casually running 10 kilometres instead.

There's a difference between being able to run 10 kilometers unlike trying for the first time.

"This is better anyways"

Shadow arts would contain a lot of information about other arts involving shadows anyways, so buying it wouldn't pose a problem, Leonard wasn't short on points as well.

After buying it he felt the influx of information going through his 10-year-old brain.

"ugh…"

When Leonard used the store his first time was worse, he felt like claws were digging into his head and surges of lightning bolts dug into his skin. It hurts so much he couldn't help but cry.

"Well that's finished"

This Leonard however, was used to such pain. And right now it didn't hurt as much as his first time, after all, he has an inkling of what he is doing.

"Right.."

The amount of pure mana Leonard has is enough to make him last for 5 hours cloaked in the dark. The Nue mana he has would only last him a few seconds.

"yeah this is enough"

The Mana filter technique is like having multiple batteries stocked in you, although their charges are different means they're least useful.

Leonard walked out of his room but unexpectedly was met with one of the main heroines.

Lenneza.
