The next day, Artonis had now procure the ingredients needed for the device to work. However, while he has finish testing and fixing some errors, he only needs to find a way, such that his plan would work.

"Tch. As you are now a member of the Artonis Household, seeing you put on such unhealthy product on your face disgust me." - Artonis

"........" - Lilia

While she was heading to the library to pass her time, she was met by Artonis who seems to have been standing outside the room to the library, gazing at her with disgust.

At first, she felt like after that explosion in his lab, he suddenly change and not only was he treating them well, but also began to spend more time with his daughter. She thought that maybe, just maybe, he would treat her as well. Yet, still bearing such a look, it seems that he is still the same man she met in the past.

When they first met, she was excited to meet with the man who holds so many titles to his name and he'll be her husband to boot as she felt lucky to be married off to such a man, even if it was a political marriage.

Thinking that he might be a kind and charming man but soon realize that it was just a wishful thinking when she first met him.

Cold, arrogant and even ignoring everyone for the sake of his research. After she gave birth to their child, he almost never left his lab and even sees his child to be incompetent.

Her friends felt bad about being married off to such a man but she still gave a wry smile since he wasn't that bad and he never even cheated on her. She could even say she was a bit lucky than others such that he never hit her or even kick her out of the house for giving birth to a girl instead of a guy.

"Boy or Girl, I don't give a damn. As long as she doesn't embarrassed the Artonis Household, you are free to do what you want." - Artonis

If he say that he didn't care about her and her child, she would immediately say that they are wrong. She knew that her husband always seeks to be perfect in everyway and wanted their child to be raised well.

Telling his butler to hire the best servants, guards and even best alumni from a prestigious school, he treated them well and the only thing he was mad about was her child being incompetent and her being not good enough. Seeking perfection at such a standard that even his father would say that he messed up on his education.

His standard being better than him to which even a god would question what is perfection.

Knowledge comparable to an Elf, Strength that would fight a dragon barehanded and the magic aptitude that demons question if his mana reserves come from the earth itself.

He also has talents in multiple fields that she even hopes he would spare her daughter to just learn half of what he does and reluctantly agree at a disappointed look on his face.

The scholar even felt afraid as he couldn't compare himself to such a legendary man that he often tried his best and begged her and her daughter to get smarter as he doesn't want to end up missing the next day.

Lilia knew that while Artonis is a perfectionist, he lacks one thing that makes him human and that is....

"What's emotion? My father had said that it holds someone back to become perfect so I trained myself to remove that thing from myself." - Artonis

Artonis is such a man that treats everyone to be incompetent that he never feel connect to anyone at all and....

She felt worried for him.

Lilia slowly grew fond of Artonis and wanted to be a help for him. Yet, she knew that he would never connect to her and their daughter.

While she could only look at him from afar, he suddenly grabbed her hand with confusion on her face.
