The luncheon hosted by Earl Timoti’s main family was about to begin.

As several members of the main family started to arrive in this large room, I could feel the intense tension emanating from the old man, who was staring at me from a distance.

His plan to destroy my good image in public seemed to end in disappointment for himself.

The tactics used by Evelyn seemed more effective and my actions in training Evelyn to use illusion techniques had destroyed the old man’s pride.

By wearing a messy military uniform and messy hair, he looked like an old man who was stressed about something.

Even on a hot day like this, I could see him holding a bottle of alcohol which made him look like he was drunk.

In this case, I could only feel that a bad situation was about to happen and my danger detection skill was constantly active.

Before the luncheon began, I saw the Duchess who had worn a dress that fit her body shape which had returned to her youth.

With her gaze and beautiful face that gave off a starry charm, it almost made me throw up after seeing her behavior of breaking a promise last night.

I immediately moved away from the Duchess’s gaze which was directed at me and grabbed the handle of the cursed Odachi to threaten the Duchess not to come closer.

My cold gaze at her was a sign that I would do anything to make her stay away from me.

Even with this threat from me, the Duchess, who was covered in a starry gaze, immediately stepped closer to me.

Her confident steps and forgetting the little mistake she had made that night made me take a deep breath about this.

I don’t know what the Duchess is thinking at this moment.

Her strong determination to approach me after the previous night she did things that were against the rules I gave her as a good pet.

In this case, Victoria is much better as a pet because she has never attacked me while I was sleeping at night.

"Oh, wow, you still dare to approach me after what you did last night?" I said while giving the Duchess a cold look.

My cold gaze at the Duchess had changed the atmosphere around me. By holding back my anger and grab the cursed Odachi tightly, I showed hostility to the Duchess and her guards.

"Lily-sama, you don’t have to be so angry with me. I came to apologize to you after what I did last night was a shameful act," said the Duchess while playing with her sad and teary facial expression.

Such fake expressions of sadness just disgust me.

"You know that won’t do anything to me, right?" I replied flatly and glared at her.

"Yes, this will be of no use to the great Lily-sama though. At least let me try to apologize sincerely."

"Apologize sincerely? Can you do something like that, Kaori?"

"Uuuhh... I-I can do it... if I try hard enough."

This awkward exchange made me smile sarcastically at the Duchess.

"You know... I’m punishing Mio right now by not talking to her for a few days. Do you want to get the same punishment as her too, Kaori?" I asked while smiling sarcastically at Kaori.

With this one statement of mine, Mio seemed to want to say something but was held back by the punishment she was undergoing.

"Not talking to Lily-sama for a few days? Isn’t that too much for an Exclusive Maid who is on duty at all times to serve her Master?" The Duchess said as she looked at Mio and lowered her face as if feeling sorry for her.

"I know that... that’s why I gave that kind of punishment."

"Guuuhh..." Mio replied with a small grumble that reached my ears.

The situation between Mio and the Duchess who has made a mistake must receive fair punishment. That’s why I’m looking for another alternative way to give appropriate punishment to the Duchess who is currently visiting Earl Timoti’s residence.

The room that was ready to be used for the luncheon began to fill up with the arrival of the nobles who were guests of Earl Timoti’s family.

It would be quite a big problem if the Duchess seemed awkward with me who had become her owner.

I immediately walked over and sat on one of the chairs to punish the Duchess.

"The punishment I’m going to give you seems very easy, Kaori," I said coldly and glanced at her.

"You just need to lick my sweaty and dirty feet like this, Kaori," I continued as I removed the magic armor covering my feet.

My sitting position and lifting my sweaty feet made the Duchess’ eyes fill with stars.

"Oh!! My humiliating punishment has arrived!" the Duchess shrieked, looking pleased by this.

I don’t know what the Duchess is thinking.

I can’t guess her happy thoughts after getting a punishment like this.

"Ugh, looks like I have to think twice about giving you this punishment," I grumbled a little after feeling regret after choosing to give this punishment to the Duchess.

The Duchess immediately approached me and knelt in front of me. Even though she wearing a dress that showed off her bare shoulders and cleavage, she kneel with obedience. Now... I could see the girl who had the title of Duchess kneeling and holding the soles of my feet to get kiss by her lips.

The Duchess kissed the soles of my feet with her lips, causing Mio and her guards to panic about this.

"Huuu..." I could see Mio looking annoyed by this and it seemed like I had given Mio an additional punishment by doing this together with the Duchess.

The Duchess’ soft lips tickled me a little and I started to feel embarrassed.

Thanks to the Duchess’ actions, I could see several nobles who were guests at Earl Timoti’s residence looking at her with wide eyes.

Cold sweat started to come out and wet my back.

I don’t know what will happen in the future, but I can feel that the Duchess is enjoying this punishment with her self-esteem slowly falling.

While giving kisses and lick by her tongue along the soles of my feet to my calves, it was enough to provide a lewd view of the Duchess looking graceful and elegant like this.

I tried to hold back my embarrassment after several eyes were on me and saw the Duchess kissing my feet.

The kiss given by the Duchess started to make Mio feel uncomfortable and she approached me.

"Lily-sama, if you give this kind of punishment to the Duchess. Can I do the same thing to reduce my punishment for not talking to you for a few days?" Mio asked with her face almost crying after receiving the punishment I gave.

"..." I ignored Mio’s question and stared at the Duchess intently.

It was like I was giving Mio a punishments and it felt unfair.

The punishment I gave Mio was not to talk to her for a few days, it was much easier than a humiliating punishment like this.

However, I who had lived for a long time with Mio had realized her envy of not wanting to see the Duchess kissing my feet like this.

"Lily-sama?" with a questioning tone and my gaze only glancing at her, I still ignored Mio’s question without answering.

With our gazes looking at each other, it made Mio realize that the punishment I gave her was still ongoing.

"Kuuhhh..." With her head lowered weakly and realizing that it was a futile action, Mio just stood beside me and tried to calm her heart which was filled with jealousy of the punishment I gave to the Duchess.

The Duchess’ tongue wet the soles of my feet and my calves and started to move up to my knees and thighs.

When the Duchess’s tongue lick touched my thigh, it made the Duchess let out a moaning sound and a lewd expression that made Mio even more unable to control her composure.

"Kuuuhhh!!" Mio grumbled and tried to hold back her jealousy.

"You enjoy the punishment I give you like this, huh?" I asked to Duchess while tease Mio’s jealousy.

"Yes, Lily-sama. This is the best punishment you gave for my naughty and lewd self last night. Although this makes my pride as a Duchess fall. It makes me look like a pet who is obedient to her owner, right?" replied the Duchess while giving me a look that looked obedient pet.

"What nonsense are you saying?" I grumbled, pinching the Duchess’s cheek.

"Haauuu... Lily-sama..."

With a pained grunt, I pulled the Duchess’s soft and supple cheeks.

By pulling her cheeks, I immediately stood up after seeing Earl Timoti and Evelyn coming towards me.

"Good afternoon, Lily-sama. You’re earlier than the other guests and umm... is there something wrong?" Earl Timoti asked, glancing at the Duchess who had just licked my feet in a public place like this.

"There’s no major problem. It’s just a matter of a pet trying to attack her owner at night," I replied while showing the red mark of the Duchess’ kiss on the nape of my neck which was covered by magic armor.

By showing the nape of my neck that was covered by magic armor, Earl Timoti saw a red kiss mark that made him understand what had happened.

"Punishment for the Duchess?" Earl Timoti continued to ask to confirm this.

I nodded to answer that question.

"I understand, Lily-sama. If that is the punishment you are giving then I have no right to interfere in this."

In an awkward situation like this, Earl Timoti suddenly whispered to me.

"Lily-sama, will you be okay with the guest who will soon be arriving in this room?" Earl Timoti asked in a whisper that made me realize what Earl Timoti meant.

The guest who will be coming soon... those were words meant to refer to someone in the past who almost got engaged to me.

"I’m fine, I even brought my weapon into this place," I replied, glancing at my cursed Odachi leaning against the table.

"That’s true," said Earl Timoti, feeling relieved by this.

Before the luncheon began, the main door to this room opened and revealed a man walking in proudly.
