Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Timon was sitting on a chair. In front of him lay a man, who resembled a zombie, but the his faint breathing indicated that he was still alive. The head of guards was also standing in front of Timon.

"So can't even enter that room, huh. Well, my father did say that it would be a difficult task." Timon muttered and then suddenly asked, "What about the key? Can't we steal it?"

The head of the guards shook his head. "No, we can't, Young master. That butler George is very strong. Although he still hasn't awakened an element, with his peak two-star strength, he would easily notice me."

Slam-

Timon slapped the armrest of the stone chair and shouted, "Even with Ashton gone; we can't steal that thing. You guys are too useless."

The head of guards' expression changed and he sneered "Young master, I'm only in the initial stage of two star mage realm. How can you expect me to do this on my own? It might have been a different story if you could give me a magic artefact."

His name was Lou and originally he came from a noble family and his father held the position of a baron. But four years ago, his family was annihilated because his father mistreated a woman who turned out to be a Count's mistress. She felt offended and told the Count which resulted in annihilation of his family. Fortunately, he wasn't at home at that time and escaped death.

Lou didn't care about that and wanted to join a magic academy to become stronger because he had good talent and he wanted to live a good life. As for revenge, he didn't believe that without any support, he could reach the four-star realm and have enough strength to fight a count. 

Fortunately, he managed to reach the two-star realm with the remaining resources of his family and awakened an Shadow element.

A two-star mage is always welcomed in noble families, let alone the one who has also awakened an element. Therefore when he arrived in Vista city, he was recruited by the Wiley family and became the head guard of Timon.

He did this job to gather enough resources to help him after he joined the academy. But he soon was annoyed by Timon but even so he ignored it and did his job.

When he reached the two-star mage realm, he was 22 years old and it has been three years since he became the head guard of Timon. Now that he had saved enough money, he didn't want to spend his life being a bodyguard of a useless young master and finally couldn't endure his insults so he talked back but taunted him by saying that he couldn't even get a magic artefact for this task and now he was blaming them.

Hearing him talk back, Timon grew furious and pointed at him "You-"

Bang!

Just as he wanted to lash out at Luo for being insolent, the door to his room was opened and a guard came running in.

"How dare you enter without my permission?" Timon stood up and shouted at the guard. He was feeling vexed today. First he was beaten by Max then today he realised that he couldn't accomplish what he came here to do. Now that a mere guard dared to defy him, he was even more furious.

The guard quickly knelt on one knee and said "I apologise, young master. But it's urgent. Lord Ashton has come back and we still haven't finished the task yet. What should we do?"

"What he came back so quickly? Shouldn't it take them a few more days?" He exclaimed in surprise. Then quickly said "Hurry up and retreat to my room and don't leave any sign which can get us caught." 

"Yes young master." The guard retreated.

Timon glanced at Luo but didn't say anything and sat down in frustration.

...

Ashton and others came inside the manor. Ashton ordered servants to prepare rooms for his guests and also to prepare clean clothing and hot bath. Servants quickly obeyed and, in just a few minutes, returned to lead them to their rooms.

Hearing that Ashton has come back, Amelia quickly came and after seeing that he was safe and sound she sighed in relied. Lacey, Layla, Eva and chloe also came and greeted him.

Noticing that Mina, Esther, Max and Lilly weren't there, he ask about it.

Amelia replied "Sister Mina had to visit her parents in Neim city as they have been sick for a few months now. Sister Esther took Lilly and went to Cliove city as she had some business with her friend. As for Max-" 

Before she could speak, Max's voice sounded in the hall "I'm here father." He then walked into the hall.

Ashton nodded "Hmm, let me go and clean myself. After that we will feast together with our guests." After saying this he went to his room. But before he entered his room, he looked at the door of Hannah's room and sneered "That bastard finally couldn't sit still anymore."

...

When everyone gathered again, a sumptuous feast was prepared. Everyone sat around the dining table.

Timon also came with Luo and greeted Ashton, Madam Mari and others "Greetings respected Viscounts."

Ashton already knew that he was here and nodded plainly. Madam Mari forced a smile and others just nodded. Timon didn't mind it as their status was higher than him even though he was a Count's son.

Just as he was about to sit, Max asked "Are you okay young master Timon? Did you rest well?" Hearing his jeering tone, Timon gritted his teeth and nodded "Yes, young master Max." After that he sat down and didn't look towards Max. He felt fear toward him after yesterday's beating.

"Let's cheers to the successful hunt of the beasts." Hangchi raised his wine glass and said. Others also raised their wine glass in response.

After cheering they started eating their food while casually talking.

...

Esther and Lilly got off the carriage and walked inside the manor. When they entered the main hall and didn't find anyone. After asking a maid, they found out that everyone was gathered in the dining hall and were having a feast. They also went there. They didn't realise that someone has appeared behind them.

When they entered the dining hall. Everyone noticed someone entering and raised their heads and looked at them. Everyone, except Timon, recognised both Esther and Lilly. As for the third person they didn't recognise her but Ashton and others who were three star mages could feel the feeling of being suppressed as soon as she entered the hall.

Seeing that everyone was looking behind them with shock, Esther and Lilly also turned around to see a White haired woman standing behind them.

"Mm? Who are you?" Esther reacted quickly and pulled Lilly behind her as she raised her guard up. Ashton and others also stood up but they didn't react the same way Esther did and bowed slightly to the woman.

Ashton asked in polite tone "May I ask who you might be and why are you here?"

Max also stared at the woman. She gave him the same feeling Crimson monarch gave. He looked at her carefully and noticed that she didn't look at anyone after coming inside and just stared at Lilly.
