Reborn As The Minor Villain In A Romance Fantasy Novel - Chapter 172

Chapter 172: Vibrating Space
She wasn’t wrong… the entire place towered over them like a royal fortress.

Calling it a mansion felt like an understatement.

The walls stretched upward with polished marble and silver-lined balconies, and multiple wings branched out across the massive property.

Even the air smelled different here… it was like how the air smelled in his past life… very expensive.

Lucius tilted his head back, trying to take in the full scale of it all.

“Isn’t this a bit overkill?” he muttered under his breath. He had wanted to live like a king, yes… but this looked like something designed for an emperor.

For a moment, he couldn’t help but think he was undeserving for such luxury. “Meh.”

Alexia clasped her hands together, smiling with pride.

“The Council decided that a building of this stature was only fitting for Boss and the women currently living with him.” She cleared her throat, pausing just long enough to sound suspiciously deliberate. “And… perhaps even more women, since you’re so strong and have godly potential. It would be advisable to have many children to spread to your children.”

Luna’s cheeks flared pink at the bluntness.

Her eyes darted toward Lucius, who, to her horror, was actually nodding along thoughtfully.

She punched his arm. “Don’t agree with that!”

Lucius chuckled, rubbing his arm where she’d hit him. “Alright, alright… enough of that. Let’s check the place out.”

He took her hand and started forward.

Alexia led the way across the open courtyard toward the enormous front gates.

They were twice Lucius’s height, made of gleaming black alloy, and edged with sharp silver spikes.

“This gate feels different,” Lucius said as they stopped before it.

His spatial senses flickered… and he felt he could easily break it if he wanted. “I could tear this apart in under a second.”

Alexia turned with a knowing smile.

“That’s because it’s made of Manafiber. A new creation synthesized from the bodies of those ice giants you faced, refined with a special process.”

She rapped her knuckle lightly against the metal, and the sound echoed like crystal. “I’m sure you already feel how light it is compared to other enchanted alloys.”

Lucius blinked. “Yeah, I do. But hold on… how did you even process the ice giants so fast? I left that dungeon yesterday.”

Alexia smoothed her skirt.

“The research department was already experimenting with cryo-elements before your raid. Your battle results just gave us better data to refine the material.”

Lucius raised a brow. “I see. You government types work fast when you want to.”

Ignoring the jab, Alexia stepped to a sleek device attached beside the gate… a black console with a glowing ring at its center.

“This is the hand scanner,” she explained. “The gate only opens for registered users. Right now, your hand signature and those of every woman living with you are saved here… including mine, of course.”

Lucius frowned. “How’d you even get those?”

She smiled sweetly. “Let’s just say the Council has its ways.”

He sighed.

Government people and their secrets… He didn’t even want to imagine how much snooping that required.

Alexia placed her hand on the scanner. It chimed softly.

『Identifying… Alexia, Entry 6. Gates are being opened.』

The mechanical voice rang clearly, and the gates began sliding apart in perfect synchronization.

The air turned cold as mana circuits lit up along the frames.

Once the gap was wide enough, they stepped inside, and the gates sealed shut behind them.

Lucius let out a low whistle. “Damn, this place is big…”

“Of course,” Alexia said, gesturing ahead. “The two buildings beside the gate are the staff quarters. We’ve hired several maids for the estate. Taking care of a place this size isn’t something you can leave to just robots. The maids handle most of the cleaning and maintenance. When it’s nine p.m., they retire to those buildings.”

“Nice,” Lucius said, genuinely impressed.

They walked down a cobblestone path that opened into a massive courtyard.

A large cube-shaped building stood to their right, its smooth silver panels glinting in the sunlight.

“What’s that?” Lucius asked curiously.

Alexia stepped forward, clearing her throat. “Open.”

A beep sounded, and the door slid sideways with a hiss of compressed air.

Inside, bright white light illuminated rows of vehicles.

“This,” Alexia announced proudly, “is your new garage. Eight of the latest supercars, all built to your requested specifications. Each one can handle mana acceleration, and the chamber has room for your two personal cars as well.”

Luna’s jaw dropped.

Her eyes darted from one gleaming machine to another, unable to even speak.

“…I asked for that?” Lucius muttered, scratching his head.

Alexia turned toward him with a pout, her cheeks puffing slightly. “Yes, Boss. You made quite a detailed list, actually.”

Lucius chuckled nervously. “Right. Of course I did.”

Alexia flicked her hair over her shoulder and clapped her hands.

“Let’s move on. Oh, before I forget… this garage also responds to voice recognition. All registered voices can open and close it and yours as well as all the women that will be living here can open it.”

“Good to know,” Lucius said as they left.

The door closed silently behind them.

The main mansion loomed ahead like a monument to luxury. Its entrance was framed by tall marble pillars, and gold-plated handles gleamed on the front doors.

As they approached, the doors opened automatically, releasing a soft gust of perfumed air.

“Welcome inside,” Alexia said, stepping aside for them to enter. “You can take off your shoes here.”

Lucius and Luna followed her example, setting their shoes neatly beside the doorway.

The polished marble floor felt cool beneath their feet and was as smooth as glass.

“You can also hang coats there,” Alexia added, pointing toward a rack.

Neither of them had coats, so they ignored it and followed her deeper into the mansion.

The moment they entered the living room, Luna stopped dead in her tracks.

The space was enormous.. tall arched windows framed with silk curtains, golden-edged couches arranged around a crystal table, and a chandelier made of diamond shards that shimmered like falling stars.

A marble fireplace glowed gently with blu flames, casting the entire room in a soft, ethereal light.

The air smelled of wealth.

Lucius had thought Elena’s home was extravagant, but this… this was another level.

“If heaven had a waiting room,” he muttered, “it’d probably look like this.”

Three maids stood at the far end of the room, having just finished cleaning. They immediately straightened and bowed.

“Welcome, Masters!” they said in unison.

Lucius offered a charming smile and nodded. “You’re doing great work. Keep it up.”

They blushed lightly and hurried off to another section of the mansion.

Alexia adjusted her glasses and gestured toward a staircase on the right.

“The rest of the rooms are upstairs. This main building also has an elevator that leads directly to the top floor. Each room is fully soundproofed, ensuring total privacy… even if it gets noisy.”

Lucius raised an eyebrow at her phrasing but didn’t comment.

She pointed toward a sleek steel door to the side. “That leads to the basement. Lady Luna, it’s been prepared with all the gadgets you requested for your projects—”

“Stop the tour and wait for me!” Luna said suddenly with her eyes sparkling.

She ran straight for the door, opened it, and disappeared inside. The door shut with a soft click.

Alexia sighed dramatically, watching her vanish, then turned back toward Lucius. Her serious demeanor melted into a grin.

“Finally,” she said with a sly smile, lowering her voice as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “She’s gone. Now, about that next part of your inspection…”

Lucius raised an eyebrow, completely unbothered. “Inspection?”

“Of course, Boss… you’ve left me for many days already.” Alexia’s voice dropped low. “I’m wet…”

“You’re wet?” Lucius raised an eyebrow, glancing at the basement door where Luna had vanished moments ago.

He turned back to Alexia with his eyes narrowing. “You serious right now?”

“Yes.” She hooked her fingers under the hem of her short skirt and lifted it, revealing bare skin.

She wore no panties…

Her pussy was wet and swollen, throbbing visibly in the living room light. “Don’t you want to touch it?”

“Luna could come out any second, you fucking pervert.” Lucius shook his head, turning away. “We’ll do it later.”

‘He didn’t say no…’ Alexia thought.

That meant he wasn’t against the idea… Which was good, ever since he had touched her, it was like a curse had befell her… her fingers couldn’t satisfy her and the thought of getting a vibrator, she didn’t even want to be caught ordering something like that.

She let the skirt fall, but a sudden pressure brushed her clit.

Lucius’s space magic.

A finger-shaped tendril slipped inside her, thrusting gently.

“Mhm~” The moan slipped out before she could stop it.

The basement door creaked open.

Luna stepped out with her eyes bright. “Alexia, I really like the designs. I’m glad all that is for m—”

She stopped. Alexia’s face was flushed and her breath was shallow.

Lucius stood calm with his hands in their pockets, but the air felt different.

“Did something happen?” Luna asked, tilting her head.

“No,” Lucius said flatly.

“Nothing at all,” Alexia added with a tight voice.

The invisible finger curled inside her.

“Thank you for reviewing the basement. I’ll take your words back to the council. For now, let’s continue our…” She swallowed a gasp as the finger thrust deeper. “…tour.”

Luna nodded slowly, still watching Alexia’s trembling legs. “You okay? You look… feverish.”
