Although Elise's voice was filled with anger, her hands remained hanging by her sides. She neither made a move against Kloeber nor showed the slightest hint of murderous intent.

  Kloeber thought to himself that now that he was a servant of her eldest sister, if Elise were to kill him rashly, it would undoubtedly greatly damage her image in her eldest sister's heart.

  From this moment on, Kloeber became even more certain that Elise's love for her eldest sister had reached an incurable and almost crazy level.

  "You should have heard about it, right? Before, in front of the throne, I made a bet with the queen that I could make her laugh, and in the end, I won," Kloeber said, raising the corners of his mouth slightly and revealing a confident smile. That smile carried a somewhat mysterious charm in the dimly lit room.

  "What do you mean?" Although there was still a trace of anger in Elise's words, when she heard this topic, her originally tense expression visibly softened a lot.

  The reason why she had taken the initiative to come to Kloeber was, in the final analysis, because of this bet. In Elise's memory, her eldest sister Ashina always had a cold and aloof demeanor. She had never seen her eldest sister smile, and this time, Kloeber had managed to make her smile. How could she not be curious about it?

  "Don't be angry. If I said that I have a way to make your eldest sister give you more attention, would you believe me?" Just then, Kloeber said something that Elise didn't expect. These words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up layers of ripples in Elise's heart.

  Elise's eyes widened instantly, and a trace of barely concealable surprise flashed in her eyes. However, after all, she was a royal princess. Years of courtly upbringing allowed her to quickly regain control of her emotions and soon returned to a calm state.

  But how could that fleeting change in her emotions escape Kloeber's sharp, eagle-like eyes? Elise frowned slightly and retorted, "Do you think I'll believe what you're saying is true?"

  Seeing her reaction, Kloeber understood everything clearly. His insight into human nature was profound, and he knew exactly where the weaknesses of human nature lay. People often become more easily confused and lost in the things they care about the most.

  From the moment Kloeber saw Elise looking at the queen with an infatuated gaze in the dining hall at first, to later when she ordered the execution of the person who slandered the queen by cruel torture, he had keenly sensed that Her Highness the Princess harbored an extremely special feeling for Ashina.

  "Lesbian love? No, no, no. In fact, this feeling can't really be considered lesbian love at all," Kloeber analyzed in his heart. As a royal princess, Elise had grown up under numerous restrictions and great pressure.

  The education they received and the environment they were in made it highly likely for them to fall into confusion at a certain stage. As Ashina's youngest sister, Elise found it difficult to break away from Ashina's protection during her growth process.

  Through the basic introduction of the Isming Continent in the Succubus system and a comprehensive analysis of the brief profiles of Queen Ashina and Elise, Kloeber discovered that in terms of both achievements and the realm of magic, Elise's overall personal abilities were far inferior to Ashina's.

  With Ashina as an insurmountable mountain towering over her, when Elise couldn't keep up with her elder sister's footsteps, all that remained was fanatical adoration. Under the subtle influence of this, Elise's words and deeds unconsciously revealed an almost twisted affection for her elder sister Ashina.

  Naturally, relying on these few key clues, Kloeber easily sketched a complete psychological portrait of Elise in his mind. At this moment, Elise's personality held almost no secrets in front of Kloeber.

  "Of course it's true. I won't deceive you about such a thing," Kloeber smiled again, and that smile was warm and sincere, as if it could dispel the doubts in Elise's heart.

  Hearing Kloeber's confident words, a trace of conflicting emotions flashed across Elise's face. She bit her lower lip slightly, and her eyes showed hesitation, as if she was struggling to decide whether to trust Kloeber or not.

  Upon seeing this, Kloeber said in an unhurried tone, "Although I'm a demon, I'm still my master's servant for now. Your Highness Elise, I can guarantee in this regard that I will never do anything to threaten my master. Moreover, think about it. If I help you and make your elder sister give you more attention, then you'll owe me a favor, and it's not to my disadvantage. What do you think?"

  Kloeber first stated his position as a slave, emphasizing that his life was in their hands and there was no possibility of his playing any tricks, so as to dispel Elise's vigilance.

  Then, he candidly expressed that his motivation for helping her was to get a return, making the other party clearly understand his intentions and thus giving her a sense of security. Sure enough, after hearing Kloeber's words, Elise's expression softened a lot. She was not only convinced by Kloeber's reasons but also felt a trace of anticipation in her heart.

  "Then what can you use to guarantee that you can do it?" Finally, Elise raised her head and stared straight at Kloeber, her eyes full of scrutiny.

  "It's simple. I'm a demon, and I'm also a Succubus. When it comes to understanding people's hearts, I dare say I'm the best in the entire empire, and no one else can claim the first place. I can guarantee it with my ability. What do you think, Your Highness Elise? Would you like to consider it?" Kloeber let out a soft laugh, and there was an innate confidence in that laugh, as if he was proclaiming his absolute strength to Elise.

  Elise's eyes moved slightly, and a trace of contemplation showed in her eyes. After about ten-odd seconds, she finally raised her head again and said, "What do you want? I don't believe you just want me to owe you a favor."

  Hearing Elise's words, Kloeber secretly rejoiced in his heart. He knew that the fish had finally taken the bait. "You're right. I do want something, but you can't give me this thing. So, I have no intention of asking for it. Just a favor will do. In case one day I'm purified by the judgment knights of the Holy Light Church, I hope you can save my life, and I'll be extremely grateful."

  Kloeber waved his hand and put on an indifferent look, as if what he was asking for was just a trivial matter.

  "I can't give it? Don't use such a cheap method of provoking me. That will only make me look down on you," Elise snorted after hearing this. She felt that Kloeber was deliberately belittling her ability, and a trace of displeasure welled up in her heart.

  Kloeber secretly chuckled to himself. This girl indeed had a high IQ and EQ, and her emotional control was quite remarkable. From her words and deeds, Kloeber could clearly sense that she had received a good education and was extremely cautious in everything she did.

  However, like Queen Ashina, she had the arrogance of the royal family that had been ingrained since childhood, which was precisely her most obvious weakness.

  Kloeber let out a long sigh, and a trace of melancholy appeared on his face: "In fact, I've never experienced the feeling of having a family since I was a child. Elise, I really envy you."

  "Envy me for having a family? You're a demon. Don't you think what you just said is ridiculous?" Elise looked at Kloeber, and there was a trace of strangeness in her eyes, as if she was looking at an unreasonable lunatic.

  Kloeber gently took Elise's hand and led her slowly to the bed, and they sat down together: "You're right. Demons don't have families. But what if I said I'm different?"

  "You're different?" Elise was completely at a loss, looking at Kloeber with a puzzled expression in her eyes.

  "Your Highness Elise, if I said my true request is to become your family, would you agree?" The moment Kloeber said these words, a glimmer as bright as stars appeared in his eyes. Those eyes were like a deep night sky, shining with a gem-like luster, making people involuntarily lose themselves in them.

  Elise opened her mouth slightly. Looking at Kloeber's captivating eyes, for a moment, she couldn't tell whether Kloeber was lying or trying to gain her sympathy. "She wants me to be her family?"

  This was the only thought in Elise's mind at the moment. She had never expected Kloeber to make such a request, and she was completely at a loss. If Kloeber had asked for gold, freedom, or anything else, she wouldn't have felt troubled.

  But Kloeber wanted to become her family, and she didn't know how to respond for a while. So, she instinctively shook her head in front of Kloeber.

  "That's why I said you can't give me this thing," Kloeber sighed, released Elise's hand, and slowly stood up and walked to the window. Outside the window, the moonlight was like water, casting a glow on Kloeber and outlining his lonely figure.

  As soon as he let go of her hand, the warmth that had been passed between them when they were holding hands dissipated instantly, as if something had been pulled out of Elise's heart, making her feel an inexplicable sense of loss.

  For some reason, looking at this Succubus in front of her, Elise couldn't bring herself to be on guard against Kloeber anymore. If this was really a demon, how could his current behavior be equated with that of a demon?

  In the eyes of outsiders, this was clearly just an ordinary girl who longed for a family and family affection. This momentary flutter made Elise a bit flustered. She instinctively glanced at the palm of her hand, where there seemed to be a trace of Kloeber's lingering warmth. For some reason, a trace of sympathy for Kloeber welled up in her heart.

  "You're right. Normally, I really wouldn't agree to such a request," Elise spoke up. This time, her tone clearly changed. It was no longer as cold as at the beginning. Now, her voice was filled with nothing but endless tenderness.

  "However, I've changed my mind. I think you can become my family," Elise slowly stood up, with a sincere smile on her face. That smile was like a flower in full bloom in spring, bright and warm.

  "System: Elise's favorability has increased by 200 points. The current level is Amicable."

  "System: Congratulations on exceeding the task. You have unlocked the bonus reward. In addition to the upgrade of the identification skill, you will also be rewarded with one Demon Heart."

  Hearing the prompt sound of the system, Kloeber secretly rejoiced in his heart. He knew that his plan had succeeded.
