“...You’re right.” Indeed, there was no record of how to use illusion magic, nor any explanation of why some people suddenly became unable to use it.

But it did record the most important point: elves recognized by the Tree of Life possessed very unique illusion magic.

“But you’ve been recognized by the Tree of Life too, haven’t you?” Liana asked.

From what Liana had seen that day, the Tree of Life seemed quite satisfied with Sephirena.

“Yes.” Sephirena didn’t deny this point. Being recognized by one’s mother was affirmation everyone wanted, and Sephirena was no exception.

“The book just clearly stated that elves recognized by the Tree of Life who possess powerful magic can use a unique kind of illusion magic, which differs from other illusion magic. Clearly, you meet both conditions,” Liana said.

“Indeed, but I’ve tried already. I truly cannot use illusion magic. There’s nothing I can do about it,” Sephirena said.

“Mm.” Liana nodded. Although she couldn’t solve this problem for now, at least she had resolved Sephirena’s issue of not using nature magic.

“Even though you can’t use natural forces now, you can still use nature magic that humans can use, right? As an elf, your nature magic should be more powerful, shouldn’t it?” Liana said.

Most of the magic Sephirena used now was just copied from others—whatever magic they used, she would replicate. It wasn’t that this approach was bad, but for future considerations, it would be better to use more nature magic if possible.

“Now that I know this, there’s no need for you to keep pretending, acting like you’re cursed by nature, is there?” Liana said. “Besides, knowing what I know now, wouldn’t it be strange if you continued to pretend to be a cursed elf?”

Princess Liana made a good point. Pretending in front of someone who already knew the truth would create a sense of shame and was completely unnecessary.

But Liana herself had been like this, thinking her identity hadn’t been exposed when in fact others already knew her true nature.

The expression she showed when she learned this was truly adorable.

“I understand, Princess Liana. I’ll use nature magic from now on, alright?” Sephirena found herself somewhat helpless against Liana.

“That’s better.” Liana put the book back on the shelf.

“Check the remaining books as well. They might be of some help to you,” Liana said.

“Yes, I understand, Princess Liana.” Sephirena nodded. “But what are you looking for, Princess Liana?”

Since entering, Liana seemed to have been searching for books about elves. Could it be that Princess Liana had returned solely because of her?

“Nothing special, just some very ordinary books.” ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) Liana casually replied.

Her return today was firstly for Sephirena’s magic, and secondly for books about the demon race.

For elf magic, she could enlist Sephirena’s help to search, but for books about the demon race, there wasn’t much she could do. After all, Liana couldn’t find any items related to the demons.

Now, such things might only be found on the Tree of Life in the Elf Forest. If demon race items were commonplace, then this world would already be extremely dangerous.

“I understand.” Sephirena didn’t say more. She saw everything Liana was doing, and now she could only accept Princess Liana’s kindness.

Since she had been exposed, there was no need to hide anymore. Might as well see if there was a way to restore her illusion magic.

Consider it repayment for Princess Liana’s care during this time.

Princess Liana had also mentioned that in a month or so, she would face something very dangerous. At that time, Sephirena just needed to protect Princess Liana well.

Liana continued browsing the bookshelves, looking at many books. She didn’t notice when night fell.

She only felt her eyelids growing sore and tired.

Liana put the book in her hand back on the shelf. Today she had read nearly a hundred books, but compared to all the books in the study, it was still too few.

Among these hundred books, most recorded very ordinary matters with no new discoveries.

Her mother must have made some arrangements to prevent others from easily finding important books. The few books recording forbidden drugs and elves that she had found earlier were only discovered through special means.

It seemed that to find something good, Liana would need to think of other methods.

But for now, Liana didn’t have anything particular she wanted to find. In the books she had just read, she had seen several decent spells that she could possibly combine with her own magic.

Moreover, Sephirena’s issue was resolved, so this mission could be considered successfully completed.

Liana found Sephirena immersed in a book.

Seeing the emerald cover with several green leaves, Liana could determine that this book was definitely about elves.

The fact that it could captivate Sephirena so deeply suggested it must be quite important.

“Found anything?” Liana asked.

Sephirena was a bit startled. She had been so engrossed that she hadn’t noticed Liana approaching.

“It’s fine,” Sephirena said.

“As long as you’ve made some progress.” Liana didn’t inquire further. They needed to maintain some distance between them.

“Is there anything else you need to read?” Liana asked.

“No need, thank you, Princess Liana.” She had gained a lot from reading so many books today.

“That’s good.” Liana organized the bookshelf and casually cleaned the study.

Although Sephirena was used to it, she remained puzzled by Princess Liana’s strange behaviors.

Despite being a noble, and one of extremely high status, she didn’t put on any noble airs, at least not toward them.

Liana had just walked out when she met Naibert. “Dinner is ready, Princess Liana.”

“...Mm.” Liana had originally planned to leave after finishing her reading today.

After all, Erinna had initially disliked her, so it wasn’t appropriate to stay here too long. But now, the situation seemed to have changed slightly. Erinna knew the truth, so there was no need to rush her departure.

Liana followed Naibert to the great hall.

The table was set with a sumptuous dinner. Minoga had already taken her seat, not showing any reserve.

When Erinna saw Liana enter, she stood up. “Sister Liana.”

“...” For some reason, being called this in front of others made Liana feel a bit embarrassed, even though it was just an ordinary thing.

“It’s so late; you didn’t need to wait specifically for me.” Although there was no clock here, Liana had judged from the moon on her way here that it was around 10 PM.

“I have a few things to discuss with Sister Liana.” Erinna’s gaze turned to Sephirena.

Liana also understood Erinna’s meaning. It was probably about the Lisat Kingdom or Venus Dukedom matters. In such situations, outsiders shouldn’t be present.

Sephirena also sensed this. She said very consciously, “I’m not very hungry. I’ll go rest first.”

“How can that be?” Liana grabbed Sephirena’s hand, revealing a sweet smile. “It’s still early. There’s no need to rush, is there? Why not sit down and have a good meal, while the Duchess and I can talk about this later?”

Although Liana knew that as an elf, Sephirena would be fine even without food for several days, speaking like this seemed to isolate her.

She might not care about this, but Liana did. Consider it Liana meddling.

“No need to trouble yourself, Princess Liana,” Sephirena said.

“Not listening isn’t the mark of a good servant.”

Sephirena didn’t quite understand why Princess Liana sometimes became particularly forceful and stubborn over seemingly random things.

“I understand, Princess Liana.” To avoid making things more complicated, Sephirena sat down beside Liana.

“Give it a try. Naibert’s cooking is no less delicious than royal cuisine,” Liana said confidently.

“Alright.” Sephirena looked at the table. There weren’t many purely vegetarian dishes; most were a mix of meat and vegetables.

Liana naturally noticed this. She said to Naibert, “I’ve been training recently and have some dietary requirements. I don’t need to consume meat for now. Could you pass me those dishes beside you?”

“...?” Although Naibert was somewhat puzzled, Princess Liana usually had reasons for her strange behaviors, so Naibert didn’t ask anything and directly placed those dishes in front of Liana.

Liana moved the plates slightly, placing them in front of Sephirena. “Eat. Naibert’s cooking is quite good.”

“...Thank you.” Sephirena was well aware that she had been specially cared for by Princess Liana from beginning to end.

“How does it taste?” Liana asked.

“Mm, it’s delicious.” Sephirena nodded.

The taste was indeed good, ranking among the best in the human world.

But since Sephirena had previously tasted Liana’s cooking, which Liana had specifically improved for her, it naturally couldn’t compare.

Erinna observed the two, whose relationship seemed a bit strange. Although she had many questions, she didn’t ask.

Sephirena also knew that Princess Liana still had important matters to resolve, and she, as an outsider, shouldn’t stay and delay others.

After having a few bites, Sephirena was led away by Naibert to rest.

After Sephirena left, Liana asked, “What is it?”

But at this moment, Erinna had another question she wanted to know. “Sister Liana, what is your relationship with Miss Sephirena?”

After all, there was already a Loraviel before, which made Erinna cautious.

“Just my guard. I can’t always trouble Minoga,” Liana said.

“Is that so?” It was a bit strange, but not too strange.

After all, it was that very gentle and kind Sister Liana. Being able to do these things was quite normal.

“So, is this what you wanted to ask me about?” Liana asked.

Erinna shook her head. “Sister Liana, can you contact Princess Mephilia now?”

Liana nodded. “Of course I can. But can’t you as well? You shouldn’t need to find me specifically for this. Is there something that requires my presence?”

“Yes, after all, many things are thanks to Sister Liana’s efforts. I think it’s better if you’re present. Also, I think I should let Princess Mephilia know that our relationship is back to how it was before. Our misunderstandings have been cleared up. Princess Mephilia will definitely be happy, right?” Erinna said.

“I suppose so?”

Liana thought about it. When they were young, Mephilia quite liked Erinna, but Erinna wasn’t very interested in Mephilia. Mephilia had often complained to her about this.

But now, Erinna had brought this up proactively. And apparently, their relationship had been decent at Ibett Academy before. It seemed they were planning to get along well. Mephilia would definitely be happy.

“However, even with Lady Minoga here, I still feel a bit uneasy,” Erinna said.

“Then, shall we go to my room? Or your room would be fine too.” Since Erinna was Ambis’ adopted daughter, her room would naturally be protected by powerful barriers as well.

“Either is fine with me.”

Great! You fell for it, Sister Liana!

Erinna smiled faintly. “It’s closer to my room from here. Shall we go to my room?”

“Alright.” Liana nodded, not thinking much... Wait!

Wasn’t Erinna’s room identical to her own?

She wasn’t entirely sure. She’d go see now, and besides, she now had a reason to ask this question.

Liana entered Erinna’s room. Indeed, the room’s layout and decorations were almost identical to her own.

Only, her room had some changes due to Loraviel staying there before, so Loraviel’s furniture hadn’t been replicated. Otherwise, Liana would have been truly suspicious.

But even so, looking at Erinna’s room, which was so similar to her own, Liana was puzzled.

“Your room’s arrangement and decoration are quite similar to mine. I almost thought I came to the wrong room,” Liana said jokingly.

After all, asking directly would be impolite, right?

Even between sisters, asking such a question would be somewhat awkward.

“Is that so?” Erinna also seemed surprised. “Well, I don’t know how to explain this. After all, Sister Liana never let me into your room before. Copying Sister Liana’s room would have been impossible, right?”

“...Ah, that’s true.” Liana’s expression became somewhat peculiar. She had indeed overlooked this point.

Erinna hadn’t visited her room many times, so how could she know how Liana’s room was arranged?
