I’m picking this up because it has appeared that they have dropped it and also the latest chapters are behind a paywall.

I’ll try my best and use the previous TL’s names.

Esis -> Isis

Erubiorene-> Albione

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Anvina, dressed in a maid’s outfit, was walking briskly in the long corridor. This was the path to the castle’s grand library, usually devoid of people.

She cautiously stepped forward and finally arrived at the door of the grand library. Opening the door, she found a vast space with several towering bookshelves, but no one in sight.

The Albione family’s collection of books was extensive, containing many historical and magical texts long lost in the outside world. However, most of them were locked in bookcases. Most of the books that can be read on the bookcases were some basic history and literature.

Edward, from a young age, disliked studying and rarely visited the grand library. As a blood mage, as long as he successfully awakened his bloodline, he would at least be at the second level. [1] Compared to ordinary people, it was like cheating. Basically, Edward’s current second level status was mainly achieved through his bloodline, with little effort on his part.

In the past, the most frequent visitor here was likely Elymia, and at that time, the maid accompanying her was Anvina.

A week ago, she was instructed that she no longer needed to serve Elymia who was sent to the high tower where her mother had once stayed, stating that it was for marriage preparations. However, Anvina knew it was a means to torment Elymia’s mind.

Due to her mother’s origin, Elymia had been ostracized and condemned by the Albione family since childhood. This time, they probably intended to make Elymia completely surrender.

Anvina skillfully arrived at the place where the Albione family’s genealogy was stored, accessible to anyone without permission. She took out a thick leather-bound book from the shelf and opened it.

Browsing through the catalog, Anvina quickly found the section Reiner needed.

She was somewhat grateful that Elymia had taught her to read and write while reading those difficult and obscure books. In Berger City, most of her peers could only write their names.

Words bring knowledge, knowledge brings thoughts, and thoughts mean rebellion. Anvina remembered seeing such a statement somewhere when she was young and couldn’t understand it. Now, however, she understood it.

Using the recording stone Reiner taught her to use, Anvina quickly recorded the contents of the genealogy. Since it was a brief genealogy, each member of the Albione family had a simple life description accompanied by a colored portrait.

As the light of the recording stone swept over the last page, Anvina saw the introduction of Elymia’s mother and couldn’t help but feel sorrowful.

She closed the genealogy, put it back in its original place, and then moved to another bookshelf, finding information about the unfortunate Mr. Ron.

She recorded it as well, and after putting away the recording stone, as a precaution, she took two more books and hastily left the grand library, holding them in her arms.

But just as she passed a corner, a hand grabbed her wrist.

“Ah!”

Letting out a small cry, Anvina looked at the person in some trepidation.

It was Edward.

“Why so urgent? Where are you going?”

Edward licked his lips, looking Anvina up and down as if he had stripped her naked with his gaze, making her feel disgusted.

“I, I was just going to help Miss Elymia find some books to read.”

Anvina was very glad she had taken two books at random. Seeing Edward shift his gaze from her face to her chest, he reached out to take one of the books, casually wiping off some oil on Anvina’s chest.

“You really are loyal to that bastard. Don’t you know that from now on, I am the head of this family?”

Edward raised his voice, enjoying himself when he saw the shy and embarrassed expression on Anvina’s face.

“Although I can’t touch Elymia, I believe you won’t refuse my favor, right? After all, this is the bloodline of the Albione family…”

As he finished, Edward put his hand on Anvina’s shoulder, pulling open half of her clothes to reveal her fair skin.

“I haven’t tried doing it in the grand library before. Both Isis and Martha are too conservative and their skills aren’t even as good as those women outside who take money. Gee, recently Cologne told me about some new things. How should I do this, let me try something today…”

“Master, please don’t…”

Anvina’s heart raced. She had heard some rumors before but didn’t expect Edward to be so lustful.

“Don’t be nervous, you’ll soon be immersed in pleasure…”

He wanted to continue, but a voice made Edward’s actions freeze.

“Edward, be mindful of your identity.”

It was a deep male voice coming from behind Edward. Anvina, with panic, looked past Edward’s shoulder and saw a meticulous-looking man with light blond curls.

The man resembled Mr. William but with a ten out of ten look. He wore a mage robe embroidered with the Albione family crest, and the five golden edges on the cuffs were particularly eye-catching.

Anvina had only seen him a few times. He was George von Albione, the younger brother of the current head of the family, William.

“George…”

Edward glanced at him before retracting his hand, but couldn’t resist touching Anvina’s smooth skin again. [2]

“The traditions of the Albione family are many, but indulging in desire is definitely not one of them.”

George stated coldly, leaving Edward speechless again.

“Tch, boring.”

Edward uttered a few cold words and left, unwilling to exchange words with him.

“When will this child grow up…”

George sighed as he watched Edward walk away. Then, he looked at Anvina.

“Fix yourself up; there’s no need to tell anyone about this.”

Anvina nodded quickly. If George hadn’t appeared in time, she might have suffered Edward’s abuse. She was genuinely thankful to this gentleman.

Hastily adjusting her collar, Anvina picked up the books that had fallen on the ground and was about to leave, but George stopped her.

“Wait, what’s your name?”

“Sir, my name is Anvina. I used to be Miss Elymia’s personal maid.”

Stopping her steps, Anvina turned around and answered with her head lowered.

“Lift your head.”

Upon hearing George’s command, Anvina, somewhat puzzled, slightly raised her head but saw a somewhat complicated look in the eyes of George.

“Sir?”

As George remained silent afterward, Anvina couldn’t help but ask, causing George to snap out of his trance and wave his hand.

“It’s nothing. You can go now. Be careful in the future and don’t come to a place like this alone. I won’t always be nearby every time.”

“Yes, sir.”

Once again bowing, Anvina hurriedly left this section of the corridor.

Seeing her departing figure, George smiled somewhat bitterly and muttered to himself.

“She really looks more like her mother.”

[1] 二环水准 – Omitted, no clue what this is referring to.

[2] Author said that George is Edward’s uncle, which doesn’t really make sense from Edward’s POV but would from Elymia’s POV.
