YM778.TV Chapter 31 - 29: The Girls Dress and His Warmth
Fortunately, he didn’t have many extraneous thoughts at the moment because Old White had told him during breakfast that Miss Eilanna missed him and was planning to visit him today.
Kael had a feeling something was off.
But he quickly realized that based on his initial impression of Eilanna, his fiancée didn’t seem like the type of girl who would say "I miss you."
If she really wanted to see him, she would probably don leather armor, ride the Dragon Horse that Baron Newman had given her, and charge through a thousand troops to get to him, wouldn’t she?
That girl was not the delicate and coy kind.
Yes, that’s right.
After all, she was his fiancée!
So that’s it... Grandpa White, huh?
Kael quickly realized what was going on.
He chuckled silently. The old housekeeper had gone overboard!
But he didn’t dislike this sense of being cared for.
However, since Eilanna might arrive at any moment, as a qualified fiancé, he didn’t want to let her see this scene.
So...
Queen Jasmine bloomed quietly.
The forced calming effect activated.
Ten minutes later, the maid left the room with a face full of shame, feeling guilty for having unwarranted thoughts about the young master.
As she walked, she thought, the young master was becoming more and more handsome.
And he smelled really good!
She wondered if there was a similar perfume on the market. If there was, she’d quite like to buy a bottle... after all, it carried the scent of the young master.
After getting dressed and finishing breakfast, Kael sat in the study, contemplating his future development.
The matter of the players had temporarily been put on hold for Kael. Next, he planned to focus more on dealing with issues related to the territory.
The number of closed beta players wasn’t that large, which was why Kael hadn’t paid much attention to them during this period.
Completely abandoning the players was practically impossible.
The relationship between NPCs and players would go through a long period of adjustment in the future.
The deterrent power of the Undead was simply too great, making it impossible for him to let future competitors acquire this power.
But... that didn’t mean he had to make unconditional compromises to appease the players.
Focusing on benefits, using a well-established task system as leverage, supplemented by functional territory services, markets, and sustainably explorable dungeon instances, along with an "NPC persona" as a stabilizing force, was the best way to keep players in check.
One must understand that players thought completely differently from normal inhabitants.
Even hardcore players, top independent players, and professional players, if given the chance to make their combat systems more aesthetically pleasing, wouldn’t mind sacrificing a bit of strength.
Ordinary players were even more focused on looks... after all, this was a group that shouted, "Being strong is temporary, but looking good is forever."
Did Kael from his past life not only just become the Champion Wall but also garner a huge fan following because of his handsome looks and flamboyant fighting style?
Apart from that two-time winner of the Global Professional League, who dared to claim to have more fans than him?
Of course, this also led to many comments about "lack of virtue," with fans and critics being indistinguishable. But that was another story.
Still, he couldn’t completely allow players to take over the core industries of the territory.
They were suitable for supplements, but in case players logged off or there was a long hiatus due to version updates without immediate replacements, it would spell trouble.
Kael tapped his fingers silently on the table, looking at the system panel.

...
The attribute panel was as luxurious as always, but Kael frowned...
Based on the time, the Royal Capital should have reacted by now.
It was just unclear why it was taking so long?
At this moment, a knock sounded, one heavy and two light.
"Young Master, Miss Elanna is here."
The knocker was Old White.
"Come in."
Old White opened the door, gesturing for someone to enter.
Kael saw Eilanna stride in briskly.
As she was about to reach his side, she slowed down a bit. From Kael’s perspective, it was indeed a magnificent sight.
Seemingly uncomfortable under her fiancé’s gaze, she tugged at her dress and said suddenly:
"I don’t think I’m suited to wear this nobles’ dress. I’ve told Father before, these dresses are so strange. It would be better to wear the Royal Knight Academy’s uniform."
Though she said this, her right hand nervously toyed with her hair, occasionally twisting her red strands.
Kael chuckled softly. Rising from his chair, he walked over to Eilanna, leaned over, and performed a hand-kiss salute on her gloved hand, saying:
"Take my seat. Grandpa White, is everything ready?"
"I will bring it to you and Miss Eilanna shortly."
"Good."
Old White slowly stepped outside.
Eilanna sat in the chair that still carried Kael’s warmth. Through the thin dress, she could feel the lingering heat, making her increasingly uncomfortable in this atmosphere.
Just then, Old White gently knocked on the door and said, "Young Master, I brought the items."
"Bring them in."
