It took Eli a week to fully recover from his leg injury.
They should have asked a divine messenger with healing abilities to help treat him, but the Duke felt that Eli was too reckless and should be taught a lesson, so he made him stay in bed for a week, which made Eli very bored.
I feel incredibly depressed.
Sure enough, Eli, whose leg had just healed, immediately started running in the corridor, venting his frustration like a horse running wild.
Thinking about how he had seen Rudy's gloating smile every time he was helped to walk by the maid this past week, Eli felt even more annoyed.
So he decided to teach those three clueless men a lesson again.
Eli ran towards Rudy's room.
As a result, he ran too fast and, without looking where he was going, bumped into a petite figure, knocking her clothes to the ground. Eli himself also fell to the ground with a thud.
Upon recognizing who he had bumped into, Eli immediately stood up and angrily berated them:
"Can't you watch where you're going? Do you know what will happen to me, the future Divine Seal bearer of the Duke's family and a candidate for hero? How are you going to compensate me, you lowly maid?"
"Ah? I...I'm sorry!"
Michelle turned pale and quickly apologized.
She bit her rosy little lips, feeling incredibly wronged.
It was clearly young master Eli who wasn't watching where he was going, but now he's blaming himself.
But she couldn't resist.
Because she was a slave in the Duke's household, merely a maid, her life and death were entirely at the mercy of her master.
When Eli Lou Myers saw Michelle kneeling on the ground apologizing, a smug smile immediately appeared on his lips.
"Since you've done something wrong, you have to accept the punishment!"
Upon hearing this, Michelle trembled and became even more frightened.
Michelle, come here for a second.
Suddenly, Rudy appeared out of nowhere and waved at her.
"Yes, Master Rudy!"
Michelle was overjoyed and quickly picked up the clothes from the ground, running to his side.
"Hey! Third son, what are you doing? Can't you see I'm disciplining this maid? What do you mean by this?"
Eli glared angrily at his younger brother.
Rudy remained calm, glanced at him, and said:
"I'm sorry, Brother Eli, I need to speak with Michelle. Please go ahead and do what you need to do, we won't bother you any longer."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Eli clenched his fists and glared at his retreating figure through gritted teeth.
That brat.
How could you talk to your older brother like that?
They even took the maid with them?
You really dare to do that!
...
Michelle followed behind, carrying the dirty clothes, while secretly observing Rudy's expression.
"Um, young master Rudy, is there anything I can do for you?"
Upon hearing this, Rudy stopped and reached out his hand to her.
Michelle instinctively closed her eyes, her delicate body trembling.
Is the young master going to hit me?
When she sold herself, she heard a lot of stories about how the young noblemen were perverts.
However, the imagined beating did not occur.
Rudy simply pinched her chubby little face and said with a smile:
"That's all, go on with your work. Also, Eli has a bad temper, so try to avoid him in the future. If he makes any unreasonable demands, just say you need to talk to him, understand?"
Upon hearing this, Michelle was stunned for a moment, then her expression lit up with surprise.
The girl nodded vigorously.
"I understand, Master Rudy!"
Rudy's words meant he was protecting her.
She certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to refuse.
"Okay, good, go ahead and get busy."
After sending the maid away, Rudy once again immersed himself in the library.
He has now completely integrated into the Gluttony Demon King's template and has fully mastered the ability to devour everything.
Therefore, it is necessary to find out what items can improve one's strength.
Moreover, we also need to think carefully about the divine seal.
He now possesses the power of a Demon King. What if he's recognized as a Demon King when he goes to the Hero Academy for his awakening ceremony?
Whether he can actually possess the divine seal is also a question.
Anyway, he's definitely going to the Hero Academy.
However, according to the information he received, it seems that his family's spot at the Hero Academy has already been reserved.
This opportunity belongs to Eli.
As the third son, he would inevitably be sent to the army as cannon fodder.
Although Rudy wanted to keep a low profile, he did not want to join the army.
To celebrate youth and encounter beautiful girls, you definitely have to go to an academy.
In that case, it is necessary to let His Highness the Duke see my value.
...
Another year has passed.
Today is a special day.
The Ceremony of Awakening the Divine Seal.
Rudy and Eli, both dressed in black suits, arrived at the door with serious expressions.
At the Duke's command, I boarded the dragon carriage.
The chariot is pulled by a tamed earth dragon, a type of magical beast.
Eli Lou Myers crossed his arms, glanced disdainfully at Rudy beside him, and sneered:
"Third man, stop pretending, you must be very nervous."
"If your mother is a Muggle, then you are, to a large extent, a Muggle too."
"But I'm different. My mother is a noblewoman, and I'm sure I'll awaken my divine seal. You can still try to please me now."
Upon hearing this, Rudy's lips twitched.
He glanced at the arrogant Eli, his tone indifferent:
