Rise of the Cosmic_Emperor

Chapter 656 Marked Target. Part 2

Thirty minutes were up and the female attendant mobilized them all and led them to their stations which as it turned out, and was mostly expected, involved working in the Duchess' residence.

Drawing her baths, serving meals and drinks...

Overall, all that they were told they would be doing involved being close to the Duchess and giving her the chance to always look upon their young faces.

And then they were introduced to a schedule which was explained to be a table of their time with the Duchess behind closed doors. (Literally)

"Umm, excuse me, but what does that entail?" Hal asked even though he had a feeling that they could not and would not tell him anything.

He was right, they did not.

The attendant merely looked at him and frowned,

"Questions are not allowed. Allan right? Well, you will do well to be careful and not overstep your bounds.

When it is your turn on the schedule, you will report for duty... Until then, you will continue to perform the miscellaneous tasks assigned to you." she said.

For the rest of the day, Hal was never not working.

It did not matter that he and the others only just became attendants that day as they were working just like everyone else.

It was amazing how much work was still needed to be done in a residence that looked immaculate despite its immense size.

And through it all, Hal never met the Duchess once and the word going all about was that she was busy with the round of attendants that were scheduled to be spending time with her that day.

When he checked the schedule for his own name, Hal realized he was scheduled to be with her in four days which ultimately increased his belief that he needed another entry point in the form of the attendants.

While Tanya's glamour rune indeed could not last forever and he knew it would surely alert him when it was time for a change, the one that Hal had stamped to his chest remained active for the rest of the day with no issues.

At the end of the day when all those sharing a room with him went to their bed for a good night's rest which they looked to need, Hal rose from and deactivated the Rune as it was useless for what he had planned now.

If anyone were to see him as he made his way out of the room he was sharing with the others, they would see him in all his black-haired and blue-eyed glory...

... But they would but see him for long as Hal quickly went invisible to all senses that did not belong to a Cosmic Saint.

Being in the Cosmic Aurora realm, and the vast majority of those around the area he was in falling under the category of those who were fooled by his invisibility, Hak could basically strut about however much he pleased.

He had a target...

His target was the quarters of the female attendants.

While he worked during the day and had been under the strict watch of a female attendant, Hal had very capably done a bit of investigating for no more than those quarters.

If there was one good thing that had surely come from being so quickly put to work during the day, it was the fact that he had been able to work alongside Eunuchs who had worked for the Duchess for quite a while.

They all spoke of the Duchess with a sort of reverence and were proud to have spent time with her behind closed doors but they were reluctant to speak about what had happened behind these doors.

At most, they just had weird smiles on their faces whenever it was mentioned.

Anyway, while they were useless in this regard, they were useful in Hal's sourcing of information about the quarters of the female attendants.

Having been working for the Duchess for quite a while and being some of the most long-lasting so far, they knew more than enough to tell Hal and make his plans much easier.

The Female Attendants were not to leave the Duchy Palace, specifically, the territory of their Duchess' residence which was wide and encompassed even the Eunuch quarters.

The attendants were only allowed four days in the month to spend outside the Duchy Palace and they could use those few days to relieve their sexual frustrations, as they were not allowed to have intercourse in the palace.

The rules were to be enforced by the head attendant who is not to be mistaken for the head maid who was closest to the Duchess.

The head attendant was also in charge of the orientation of the Eunuchs and was revealed to have been the one in charge of the female attendants who had inspected Hal as the others in his lineup.

She was his marked target.

Anyway, there was no such thing as a Head Eunuch as the head attendant was in charge of all attendants as well as Eunuchs.

"They hate us. We disgust them" the Eunuchs said but they said it with chuckles and when Hal asked why that was the case, one of the Eunuchs said,

"They are just jealous. Jealous that we don't suffer their plight. No sexual frustrations for us"

"Haha, no sir" another had laughed boisterously.

"We are absolutely Full-Filled," another said with an equally loud laugh as he shook his butt which startled Hal slightly as he took half a step back with an uncomfortable expression on his face.

A thought was forming in his mind in regards to the activities behind those closed doors and they were not thoughts of activities he would ever think to participate in.

He would rather die!

Anyway, they told him the quarters of the Female attendants were very much better than that of the Eunuchs and the Attendant head had her own separate residence that she could enjoy won while working on managerial things.

They told him how to get to the quarters and told him how to get to the personal residence of the Attendant head while also telling him her name.

It was to that personal residence that he was now going.

Walking confidently with Grimoire scouting ahead with its incredible senses so that Hal knew if there was anyone ahead who could see through his invisibility but as those would have to be cosmic saints and he was in a region of servant quarters, that was highly unlikely.

Soon, he was at the residence and the rune lamps were on with the Head attendant looking still very much at work this late at night.

Hal headed for the part of the residence she was at which was not too far from the main entrance, considering how small the residence was overall, and he pulled it open.

The Attendant head perked to the opening of her door and she turned towards it with a puzzled expression as saw no one.

She even deliberately spread her senses all about the small room she was in that doubled as a study (albeit a tiny one) in a bid for more clarity to know who or what had just made an entry.

Her eyes narrowed when the door closed but they widened when a form shimmered and a handsome young man with incredible and inconceivable features leaned against the door and watched her with a smile on his face.

Despite the intrusion, his looks caused her to pause whatever measures she would have taken, and when he spoke...

"Hello, Myrtle,"

... It was as though she could feel his sweet breath blowing over her face.
