Chapter 114: Touring Alabama. (R-18)
"Mother-in-law, Kobra won't be at the palace tonight. Be sure to visit my room later tonight," Saint Lakeman said loudly as he watched Queen Titi leave. She departed without replying, her figure stiff with reluctance.
Lakeman smirked, pulling his pants up lazily. He left the palace and made his way to the training grounds, where Robin, Lily, and Hancock, along with her sisters, were diligently exercising. Their clothes were soaked with sweat, clinging to their bodies and displaying their prominent figures as they moved.
"It's such a pity," Lakeman murmured to himself, reclining on a luxurious chair that had been brought for him. His sharp, blood-red eyes scanned the training girls with idle interest. He sighed softly, feeling a faint sense of disappointment.
He glanced at Lily, whose silver hair glistened under the sun as she performed rigorous combat drills.
'I still can't bind her to the system,' Lakeman thought. Despite the immense strength he had transferred to her—strength permanently stolen from prisoners after his Devil Fruit awakening—the system did not recognize her as a genius. Thus, she could not be bound to it.
'It's unfortunate,' he reflected, his lips curving in a faint smile. 'But it doesn't matter. Lily's strength is already the greatest among all the girls here.'
He then recalled his countless attempts to exploit the system's loopholes.
'I even tried giving strength to Hancock and Robin, who are bound to the system, but it didn't work. The system only gives feedback when they train on their own. No shortcuts.'
Lakeman watched them for a while longer, his amusement waning as boredom set in. He waved his hand lazily, beckoning one of the maids fanning him.
"Call Queen Titi here," he commanded, his voice calm but firm.
"Yes, Master," the maid replied obediently, bowing before leaving to carry out his order.
