Transmigrated as Baron, Married with my Lovely Maid-Chapter 46

The cool morning breeze blew gently as I arrived at the top of one of the towers in the Aaren Golden Palace complex.

Behind me, Countess Azalea followed in her noble attire.

From the battlements, the highest point on Aaren’s Golden Mountain where we were now, we both had a fairly comprehensive view of the entire mountain.

For the past two days, as per my instructions, Alex had already mobilized his troops and the healers to take control of the Golden Mountain area.

I had asked Alex to meet me at these battlements because I wanted to directly monitor my troops and the situation on Aaren’s Golden Mountain.

But before that, a guest had just arrived and wanted to meet me on the highest rooftop of Aaren’s Golden Mountain.

And that guest was not a human, but a dragon: The Great Wyvern.

"VERMILLION...!"

From the north, in the distant sky, I saw the Great Wyvern coming at breakneck speed.

The dragon flapped its wings forcefully, then soared like an eagle about to pounce on its prey in the battlement.

Countess Azalea shuddered in horror at the Great Wyvern’s swift approach, as if it were about to slam into the battlement.

She even hid behind me, begging for protection.

But I remained calm and waited for it to arrive.

Once it was about 30 meters away from me, it immediately flapped its wings to slow its speed. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

WHUUSSSSS!

The strong wind from its flapping wings allowed the Great Wyvern to land smoothly about 15 meters in front of me.

Like a messenger bird, the dragon carried a chest tucked between its legs and then casually threw it in front of me.

"DAMN YOU! YOU THINK I’M A MESSENGER DOVE!?" The Great Wyvern exclaimed in disapproval.

"Hey, don’t complain so much. We’ve already agreed on the vow we formed," I replied calmly.

"TCH!"

I chuckled, enjoying the Great Wyvern’s annoyance, but he couldn’t resist because I had indeed completed the challenge he had set for me: ’conquering the Golden Mountain of Aaren.’

I opened the chest that the dragon had brought and found a black coat alongside with a written message from Leysha.

Baron Atreus, once again, I congratulate you on your success in conquering the Golden Mountain of Aaren!

If you were in the Vermillion Territory, you would surely be surprised by the joy and pride of the people here, sharing in your accomplishment!

As the baron requested, I have searched for and studied the book Lord Vermillion that I found in Thornvale Palace about the curse of King Bahamut.

If Baron Atreus needs me immediately for this information, I will definitely go to Aaren’s golden palace to inform you.

Oh yes, I also have entrusted the invincible coat left behind by Lord Vermillion to The Great Wyvern for you.

I’m sure it will be useful for your mission, Baron Atreus!

Ah, just reading Leysha’s message and her beautiful writing makes me miss her to death.

I even read it while hearing Leysha’s voice in my head.

I put the message in my pants pocket and took out the black coat, one of Lord Vermillion’s relics.

Leysha told me that this black coat was a relic of Lord Vermillion, who resides in Thornvale Palace, and it possesses the ability to activate the invisible skill, a wizard skill that makes the wearer invisible to others.

I tried the invisible coat on, and felt its powerful aura immediately envelop me.

"B-Baron Atreus...? Where are you?"

Countess Azalea, who was behind me, was immediately shocked to see me suddenly disappear, even though I was actually still in the same position.

I tried to sneak to the left of Countess Azalea, who was still frantically searching for me, then I snapped my fingers near her.

"Eh?!"

Countess Azalea immediately looked to her left, startled by the sudden snap.

Even though Countess Azalea possessed wizard powers, even a wizard of her caliber lacked the ability to detect this invisibility spell.

Well, I knew this invisibility coat would be very useful against Duke Archer’s arrival.

I removed the invisibility coat again, and Countess Azalea immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh my, Baron Atreus... I really can’t see you. I can’t even detect your magical flow," she said in astonishment.

"...if that’s true, then everything is going according to plan. Heh... Leysha. She’s always been my savior, even when she’s not around," I said gratefully.

"...it seems you do have deep feelings for your maid, Baron Atreus."

"Yes, as for Leysha, I’ve always had my heart set on her.

"She really have a special place in your heart. Am I will have the same treatment, Baron Atreus? I too became one of your concubines the moment we made love that night..."

Well, I can’t be too honest about my deep feelings for Leysha, which surpassed those of my other concubines.

And I know very well that Countess Azalea is jealous of that.

"I will certainly treat each of my concubines fairly, Countess Azalea. We’re moving towards a future that’s better than before," I said, stroking Countess Azalea’s hair and gently kissing her cheek, making her melt.

"I’ll try my best to be better than Leysha..." Countess Azalea said with a small smile.

I simply smiled at her enthusiasm for improvement.

In the midst of our conversation, I heard the sound of armored footsteps approaching.

A few seconds later, two people appeared, Alex and Cecile.

I saw Alex and Cecile wearing black armor like the Ventura troops, which was exactly what I wanted because Ventura armor is a special, high-tier outfit that can enhance my troops’ magic power, stamina, and damage.

Cecilia’s particular black armor, although thinner than usual, offered solid defense and was suitable for a fast-moving warrior like an Assassin.

Alex and Cecile immediately knelt in front of me.

When I looked at Countess Azalea, she understood my meaning without hesitation or even words.

Countess Azalea also knelt beside Cecilia as proof that she was my chosen Concubine, equal to Cecile and Alex as my highest-ranking troop commander.

"Baron Atreus... as per your orders. Our trusted healers, prepared by Baroness Leysha, have healed approximately 50% of the remaining Ventura troops," Alex began his report.

"What about the remaining 50%?" I asked.

"...they couldn’t hold out and died, Baron Atreus."

I simply nodded at that.

It was an inevitable consequence of the Great Wyvern’s deadly poison gas attack.
