Hikaru was a bit surprised to hear this question from Anno. In fact, this was the third time he had met Anno; besides, both of them had not interacted much, and the number of sentences that Hikaru and Anno had spoken to each other were very few.

That's why, when Anno asked this question, Hikaru was a bit surprised. However, he didn't give it much thought because he thought that maybe Anno was just teasing him. Hikaru had also lived for more than 25 years, and he had read many novels. He knew that women asked this kind of question not because they liked him but because they just wanted to tease him and see his expression when they heard the answer to their question.

Hikaru thought that because Anno was a lady who came from a noble family, she had been in contact with many other nobles, so she could make these kinds of weird jokes.

Hikaru thought to himself, "This girl... does she think that I am like everyone else and can be easily teased?"

He sighed and said: "Of course not!"

Although Anno was very beautiful, Hikaru thought that if he had heard this statement when he was on Earth, he would definitely have agreed. After all, Anno was a very beautiful girl, and she had graduated from the Royal Academy, and her family had a very high position in society. Strictly speaking, Anno was a prime example of someone born with a silver spoon.

If a girl like that confesses to any man, then the man wouldn't be able to refuse. However, Hikaru's case was different. He had Saraya, Vuni, and Tsuraguki. The three girls were all extremely beautiful and talented, and they were more than enough.

Although he didn't mind having a beautiful dark elf in his harem, Anno was too dangerous. No, to be more precise, her mother was too dangerous. If Selvih knew he included her daughter in his harem,

Hikaru thought of Selvih cutting off his head and hanging it in front of the city gate. Every passerby who saw him would spit at him. This thought caused Hikaru to shiver in fear.

Therefore, even if Anno's words were true, he did not dare to agree.

However, when Anno heard Hikaru's answer, she was disappointed. Anno didn't understand why she was disappointed either, but the feeling of loss and disappointment that filled her heart made her very uncomfortable.

Anno said nothing more; however, she wished that this moment would last forever. Anno wanted this feeling of being cared for and being taken care of by Hikaru to last longer.

Anno didn't understand.

In the past, there were many nobles and many princes of other races begging to meet her and have tea with her. Although Anno still accommodated those requests at first, it was because of that that she realized the ugliness and disgust of people.

They were only greedy for Anno's beauty and power. To them, Anno was like a commodity that they could buy and sell, and as long as they captured Anno, they could capture almost a quarter of the Dark-Elf kingdom. Besides, Anno's beauty could help them satisfy their lust.

From that moment on, Anno didn't want to see anyone anymore, so she chose to leave the Dark Elf kingdom. However, her actions were tacitly authorized by Selvih because he knew that if Anno stayed in the kingdom, it would be extremely dangerous.

Hikaru felt that the amount of mana he had imparted to Anno was enough, so he stopped. As he removed his hand from Anno's shoulder, she once again felt that she had lost something important.

Rika saw the whole thing, and she also knew why Anno was feeling this way. Currently, Hikaru possesses the talent "The King" and the Summoner Medal, which supplement his mana, and because it is supplemented by these two things, he acquired a hidden attribute.

This hidden attribute was meant to make people who receive mana from Hikaru sympathize with him. However, this hidden attribute was quite weak, so weak that it was almost non-existent. But Anno's current state was different; she had received a large amount of mana from Hikaru, but in her body, there was no mana to dissolve his mana, so this effect was a hundred times more potent than normal.

Therefore, the hidden effect of Hikaru's mana caused Anno's feelings and emotions to fluctuate. However, this situation will not last. When Anno's mana reappears, it will dissolve Hikaru's mana, and then Anno's emotions will gradually return to normal.

Naturally, Hikaru and Anno were both unaware of this matter.

Hikaru saw that Anno still couldn't stand up, shook his head, and sighed. He lifted her up like a princess, and this startled Anno. Anno's beautiful face turned even redder, like a beautiful rose.

Anno opened her mouth in surprise, but she hesitated because she wanted to enjoy this feeling. Hikaru also felt a bit awkward, because he didn't think too much and just wanted to carry Anno back to her private room. However, after picking up Anno, Hikaru immediately discovered that this position was very misleading.

Suddenly, Anno's soft hand grasped the part of his shirt at his chest. Anno's face showed a mixture of shyness and anticipation, as if she were waiting for something special to happen. Anno's eyes were covered with a mist, and her seductive lips were slightly parted as if inviting Hikaru to kiss her.

He frowned and felt that something was wrong with Anno's condition. Hikaru sighed and said, "I'll take you to your room."

"To my room?" Anno was startled, and she hurriedly said, "Isn't this too fast? I… I'm not mentally prepared yet. But if you want... then I can."

Hikaru started sweating. He explained, "What are you talking about?" "I just want to take you to your room to rest."

"Heh? R-really? So that I can rest, right?" Anno stammered, and she started feeling a little disappointed.

Hikaru frowned, and he asked Rika: "Rika, what's going on with Anno?"

[I don't know, Master.] Rika of course knew the answer, but she still pretended not to know.

Hearing Rika's answer, Hikaru felt that she was only giving him a vague answer; however, he also did not know what was wrong with Anno, so he immediately teleported Anno back to her private room. Currently, the main house has been completely dismantled by Darnag, so everyone is temporarily staying in the farmer's house.

In the distance, Saraya saw Hikaru disappearing while carrying Anno, and, surprised, she muttered, "Master...

After taking Anno to her room, Hikaru left. He was afraid that if he stayed too long, something unexpected would happen.

Suddenly, he heard some noise coming from the living room of the farmer's house, and he went to check what was happening. At this moment, he witnessed the meeting between Darnag and Damian.

Damian, Darnag, Uner, and Mille, after meeting Hikaru, were assigned to assist Darnag in building the territory. However, what delighted him the most was that all three of them were enchanters. Even though Uner and Mille were just apprentice enchanters, they could help a lot in building the territory, and Damian was just the person Hikaru needed.

That's right, Damian was an Enchanter who specialized in plant research, so his bag of synthetic seeds was immediately assigned to Damian for research.

Hikaru then went to meet Laziro. He saw more than 70 lizard people still infected by Saraya's poison, and most of them had not yet woken up. Seeing this many poisoned people, Hikaru felt that the decision he made to ban Saraya from cooking was the right one.

Laziro was sitting on the ground, and right now, his face was full of fatigue. However, when he saw Hikaru approaching, Laziro immediately tried to stand up, and he reverently said, "My Lord!"

"Hm? Have you decided yet?" Hikaru asked.

Laziro nodded and said: "My father and I have made a decision. From now on, I and my tribe will forever be loyal to you."

Hikaru nodded, then he allowed Larizo to sign a slave contract. Laziro was currently the representative of his tribe, and when he signed the contract, it meant that his entire tribe had become Hikaru's slaves. Even if they produced many other members, those members would also automatically become his slaves.

Although this was a bit dehumanizing, however, he would rather be a villain than keep a ticking time bomb in his territory.

Despite signing the slave contract, Hikaru still did not add Laziro and his tribe to the list of people that could benefit from his talents and items.

Hikaru then said to Laziro: "If you and your tribe try to contribute to my territory, I certainly won't treat you badly."

After saying that, Hikaru disappeared. Laziro remained silent; he did not know if he had made the correct decision; however, currently Laziro and his tribe did not have the right to decide.

"AAAA!!!"

The startled Laziro dropped the spear in his hand, and he looked in the direction of the scream, which was the farmer's house.

In Anno's private room, she buried her face in the pillow and screamed.

"AAAA! Why did I say those things? Why? Why do I have this feeling? Why!!"

The four Dark-Elf girls had just walked to the door of the room when they saw Anno screaming in confusion.

Elsewhere in Misty World In a very luxurious and splendid bedroom, a young man lay on the bed. The young man was extremely beautiful. He resembled the angels in fairy tales; he had short black hair, white skin, a high nose, and black eyebrows.

However, the young man was lying still, as if he were asleep; his hands lay on his chest. If the young man hadn't been breathing, everyone would have thought he was dead.

Beside the bed sat a very elegant-looking woman; she was wearing a crown and a long skirt. Her face showed a doting expression as she looked at the young man. If Darnag and Damian were here, they would surely recognize this woman as their queen, Allena. And that the one lying on the bed was the prince, who had an accident while using the sword that Darnag had created, Duraxi.

Allena reached out and stroked Duraxi's face; she mumbled: "Duraxi, when will you wake up?"

Just as Allena finished speaking, Duraxi suddenly opened his eyes, startling her. Duraxi looked at the strange surroundings and was also startled; he muttered: "Where is this place? Could it be... I am in another world?"
