“Princess, would you like me to prepare some food for you?” Vivian asked at this moment.

“We’re not hungry yet,” Mephilia said.

“I understand. Then I’ll go purchase some food to prepare dinner,” Vivian said considerately.

Preparing dinner implied that during the next few hours until evening, she wouldn’t come to Mephilia’s quarters to disturb the two of them.

“Good.” After Mephilia nodded, she led Liana into the room. The moment they entered, Mephilia had already locked the door.

“Now, you should give me a reasonable explanation, Liana.” Although Mephilia was very satisfied with Liana’s performance and preparation just now, this wasn’t a reason for Liana to take such rash actions without discussing it with her first.

“I’m sorry, Mephilia. Because of me, you’ve been subjected to some unnecessary misunderstandings. I’m very aware that my actions now basically represent you as well.”

“Liana!” Mephilia raised her voice slightly. From beginning to end, what Mephilia cared about wasn’t this issue, but Liana’s safety.

“I’m sorry...” Liana knelt down before Mephilia. “I’ve again taken some dangerous actions without permission, making you worried. I apologize.”

Mephilia was really angry because she had emphasized this more than once, yet Liana still did it.

But she also knew very well in her heart that Liana probably had some reason for not discussing it with her before acting this way, likely due to some sudden circumstances.

After all, Liana had already discussed the fake death with her. There was no reason not to tell her about this, right?

So, the two of them were now in a very awkward situation.

Mephilia wanted Liana to explain clearly why she had done this.

But Liana felt that explaining too much at this point might be disrespectful to Mephilia. Would it make Mephilia think she was making excuses?

After all, Mephilia had emphasized many times that this was knowingly committing an offense.

Mephilia looked at Liana, Liana looked at Mephilia, and the two stared at each other for several minutes.

“Liana...” Just as Mephilia was about to break this awkward situation, Liana directly stood up.

Under Mephilia’s puzzled gaze, she slowly unbuttoned her top clothing.

Then, she placed her hand on the back of Mephilia’s head, letting Mephilia slowly lean in.

Liana, you are a sweet, soft, tender, cute strawberry cake.

Why a strawberry cake?

Because Mephilia was now savoring the sweet strawberry, which was very delicious.

However, Mephilia was somewhat confused. Why would Liana suddenly do this?

Although she didn’t dislike it, she gently bit the strawberry, causing Liana to emit a moan before releasing her mouth.

“We’re discussing serious matters, Liana!” At this moment, her attitude needed to be firm. She couldn’t let Liana muddle through.

“Fine.” Liana put her clothes back on. That pink hue, having been “adjusted” by Mephilia, had now become even more crimson. And it hurt a bit—Mephilia had actually bitten for real.

“...” Mephilia’s gaze changed in an instant.

“What’s wrong?” Liana asked.

“Nothing.” I wasn’t asking you to put away the food!

Mephilia wanted to stop her, but she had already missed the best opportunity. Besides, stopping at this point would make things develop in a strange direction, right?

Now was the time to lecture Liana. She had almost been led astray by Liana again.

“So, why did you do this? Why, even now, are you still unwilling to tell me?” Mephilia asked.

“I had wanted to explain this when we were communicating earlier, but you weren’t very willing to listen at that time...”

At that time, Mephilia was angry, so she didn’t give Liana much opportunity to explain, constantly interrupting her.

“Besides, I made this mistake knowingly, and even after your repeated emphasis, I still made this mistake. Then you interrupted me that day...” Liana said, looking pitiful.

“But if you don’t speak up, it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings, right? I know Liana wouldn’t do this intentionally. Is there a special reason?” Mephilia asked.

“It’s not that serious. I trust you unconditionally, Mephilia, and I was planning to explain this matter clearly to you today.”

Where else could she find such a good childhood friend like Mephilia? Liana wouldn’t get angry with Mephilia over such a small matter.

“Then just now...”

“To calm you down a bit, also as... compensation.” Liana was a bit embarrassed.

“...Pfft.” Looking at the silly Liana, Mephilia couldn’t help but laugh.

This was completely different from the Liana just now. But it was precisely this contrast that made Liana more delicious.

“There wasn’t any special reason, just that things happened suddenly, and I didn’t have a chance to discuss it with you. Then you heard about it,” Liana spread her hands helplessly.

“Originally, I just wanted to protect Tari, since she would definitely be targeted by the Angus Commerce Guild because of me. But I didn’t expect the truth to be like this, so I couldn’t help myself, and then what you saw happened,” Liana said.

“Tari’s truth?” Mephilia hadn’t learned much about Tari’s situation.

“How should I put it? She’s a very pitiful little one.” Liana explained Tari’s situation to Mephilia.

Her fist hardened.

“The Angus Territory... shouldn’t remain here. It shouldn’t exist,” Mephilia unlocked a new attitude in Liana’s heart.

This absolute anger was something Liana had never seen before.

“So, after learning this news, due to anger, I couldn’t help myself and directly spoke out what I had investigated earlier,” Liana said.

“You’ve been hiding these investigations from me?” Mephilia naturally wouldn’t doubt Liana.

So as long as Liana didn’t come up with some particularly outrageous excuse, Mephilia basically wouldn’t doubt her.

“Didn’t you also secretly investigate the Darriss Territory’s matters without telling me?”

Originally, Liana just wanted to make the other party panic a bit and stall for time, and she had also thought of a way out.

However, what Liana hadn’t expected was that Mephilia would provide such great support. At least it could be confirmed that the Darriss Territory had some connection with forbidden techniques. As for what kind of connection...

Since Liana had already spoken so accurately, the other things Liana said might not be unbelievable either.

“Can that be called hiding from you?” Mephilia rolled her eyes at Liana. “This is just my responsibility. As an heir, this is something I should investigate and manage.”

“Truly a serious Mephilia.” Liana liked this side of Mephilia, very serious and somewhat persistent.

“I have to be serious.” Mephilia shrugged and laid down on the soft mattress.

Although it could now be determined that the next heir would basically be Mephilia.

Mephilia wouldn’t relax in any way. After all, she wasn’t here to enjoy the power that came with being king. She had her own responsibilities.

Not only did she need to protect Liana well, but she also had to be responsible for the people of the Lisat Kingdom.

And this didn’t even count the troubles from the neighboring kingdom.

The road ahead was long, but... with such a cutie by her side, Mephilia felt much more at ease.

Liana sat beside Mephilia, extending her hand to massage Mephilia’s shoulders and fingers.

Mephilia didn’t need to worry about Liana making any advances on her body.

But Mephilia also hoped Liana would do so. Although Liana was very cooperative during their playful moments and her body was very responsive.

But all along, she had been the one taking the lead, actively seeking from Liana.

Mephilia wasn’t worried that Liana would think she was a very sensual girl.

They weren’t strangers; they had already had several instances of close contact.

Mephilia’s main concern was whether Liana might not like these things?

Was she accepting her only out of consideration for her?

But Liana had just taken the initiative, right?

But that wasn’t enough. Mephilia hoped Liana would be more proactive. Of course, Mephilia didn’t plan to give up being on top.

How should she put it? She # Nоvеlight # wanted to see, not just herself making a mess of Liana and then Liana seeking her, but with Liana seeking her from the beginning.

She wanted to see Liana, blushing, begging her, letting her eat her bit by bit.

But Liana’s words interrupted Mephilia’s thoughts.

“The ring... don’t you like it?”

Liana didn’t know what bad thoughts Mephilia was thinking. Liana was pinching Mephilia’s fingers. Mephilia’s hand didn’t have the ring Liana had given her.

“How could I not! I love it to death!” Mephilia hastily said.

That ring could be said to be Mephilia’s treasure. She regarded it as more important than her own life. How could she not like it?

Mephilia quickly took out a box and only after undoing the magical protection outside could she open it.

“Of course, it’s not that I deliberately don’t want to wear it or think it’s embarrassing to wear. I’d love to tell everyone about our relationship, but I know very well, Liana, that you don’t want that right now, do you? You prefer to live a bit more low-key and don’t want to be under so many gazes,” Mephilia said.

Seeing Mephilia explaining so anxiously, Liana felt somewhat remorseful. “I know, but now, it’s okay, right?”

Liana took that ring and helped Mephilia put it on her hand. “As long as I don’t wear the ring, no one will know, right? Besides, wearing the ring can help reduce a lot of your troubles, right? After all, Mephilia, you’re so excellent that many people must be pursuing you.”

“Pfft!” Mephilia’s previously anxious heart immediately relaxed. She looked at Liana lovingly, then extended her hand and grabbed Liana’s hand.

“It feels a bit hard.” Mephilia could clearly feel that Liana’s hand had undergone some changes.

But Liana herself hadn’t noticed any change in her hand. “Maybe it’s because of the recent training?”

“Mm.” It was just some subtle changes. In others’ eyes, there might indeed be no change, but to Mephilia, the changes were very obvious. However, it was still soft and pleasant to touch.

“Just now, were you jealous? Or worried about me?” Mephilia asked.

“No... no.”

Liana’s expression immediately betrayed her, completely showing that she had been caught.

“Eh? Really not?” Mephilia smiled at Liana. Originally, she thought only she would be jealous of Liana. She hadn’t expected that one day, Liana would also show such a very girly expression and thoughts. It was truly extremely cute.

“Really not. What would I be jealous of?” Liana crossed her arms over her chest.

“Is that so?” Mephilia looked at the ring on her hand, her eyes full of joy. “What Liana said is also right. There are indeed some guys who come to bother me.”

“Eh?” Liana was about to get angry. “Who!”

Seeing Liana looking like she wanted to fight someone, Mephilia waved her hand, and a mirror appeared in her hand. “Liana, are you going to fight someone?”

Liana didn’t care about this or that. “Someone wants to steal my Mephilia. How can I not be anxious!”

Mephilia’s heart felt warm. She sat up, extended her hand to pull Liana, then fell back, directly hugging Liana, both hands embracing Liana’s slender waist.

“Don’t worry, Liana. These people don’t even have the qualification to see me once. They’ve all been stopped by others. Moreover, all of me, my whole heart and body, already belong to you,” Mephilia bit Liana’s ear.

“I even suspect you, Liana, did you drug me when we were young to make me like you so much?” Mephilia hugged Liana tightly.

“Where would such a drug exist? If it did, it would be a forbidden drug, right?” Liana answered very seriously.

I hate that you’re a blockhead! Mephilia vengefully pinched Liana’s little belly.

“...”

“Then let me massage it you.” This was exactly what Mephilia wanted.

She could already feel Liana’s abs. The training during this period hadn’t been neglected at all.

“But, because of you, I’ve become much more relaxed, and I have someone to confide in, and also...” Mephilia touched Liana’s belly. Plus, the two hadn’t seen each other for more than a month, and now they were in such an intimate position.

This couldn’t be blamed on Mephilia. Who made Liana so tempting?

“Whenever you need, I’m always available,” Liana lay quietly in Mephilia’s arms.

“Available anytime?” Mephilia hadn’t expected Liana to proactively say such things now.

Liana, who was shy not long ago, had become so proactive?

It seemed that her previous practice was going to come in handy now.

“Of course, feel free to come find me,” Liana smiled.

Of course, Liana was thinking about Mephilia finding her to confide in.

But what Mephilia was thinking about was more sensual matters.

Mephilia, in front of Liana, slowly removed the ring from her left hand.

“?!” Liana suddenly became alert. Why would she suddenly remove the ring at this moment?

Coupled with Mephilia’s earlier wandering hands, Liana roughly knew what was about to happen.

Refuse?

How could she?

Whenever they met, Liana would always try her best to satisfy Mephilia’s various needs. Of course, if the play was too extreme... they’d discuss that when the time came.

Mephilia probably wouldn’t bear to do that to her.

Mephilia’s cold lips covered Liana’s lips. “Liana...”

“I’m here.” Liana skillfully responded to Mephilia through the kiss.

“It feels, a bit hot.” Even though they now had no clothes on their bodies, only a thin blanket covering them.

But after their activity, (sweat?) had appeared on their bodies.

“...Sigh.” Liana sighed. It was good that her body had been trained; otherwise, she truly couldn’t withstand Mephilia’s fierce attacks.

“I’ll take a bath first.”

“Together!”

“No!” Liana righteously refused Mephilia’s request. If they bathed together, there would definitely be a second battle. It wasn’t even evening yet, and they couldn’t sleep until the next morning.

“Tch.” Mephilia pouted, like a child.

Although she was a bit unhappy, she still obediently sat on the bed.

When Liana came out, the room had already been cleaned up by Mephilia, as if nothing had ever happened.

However, Liana was curious about how Mephilia was so skilled?

Moreover, Mephilia’s technique just now seemed to have become much more powerful. Although she had always been quite powerful, just by looking at her reactions, she knew what would happen to her next.

Damn edging challenge.

“Do you need help drying your hair?” Mephilia asked.

“No need. During this period, my magic and body have improved quite a bit,” Liana said. “It will definitely surprise you.”

“I’ve already experienced it.” Mephilia extended her tongue and licked Liana’s cheek. “The various abilities of the body, as well as stamina, have all been greatly enhanced.”

“Enough! You pervert! Go take a bath quickly!” Liana couldn’t take it anymore. This Mephilia wasn’t cute at all!

“Okay, okay, okay.” Mephilia walked into the bathroom jokingly, looking very pleased.

After Liana had arranged her hair and clothes, she walked out of Mephilia’s room and saw a very sumptuous dinner already prepared.

“...” Liana returned to Mephilia’s room.

[Create Gem]

Liana placed the gem in the room and walked out.

[Gem Detonate]

Outside, no sound was heard, but when Liana opened the door, she saw Mephilia hurriedly coming out from the bathroom, not even having time to wipe the foam on her head. “Liana? What happened?”

“...It’s complicated to explain. Can I not explain?”

“Then it’s even more necessary to explain. Wait a moment, I’ll be quick.” Mephilia walked back into the bathroom, quickly washed herself, and then came out.

She even used fire magic to dry her hair to save time.

“Won’t that damage your hair?” Liana asked curiously.

“As long as you master the technique, there’s no problem.” Just control the temperature to be about the same as a hair dryer’s hot air, and it’s fine. But this requires very exquisite control over magical power, which is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

Mephilia came to Liana’s side, holding Liana’s little hand. “So, what was the situation just now?”

“...Just testing the room’s soundproofing.” Liana’s face was a bit red.

Mephilia looked at the food on the table and immediately knew what Liana was worried about. She then began to mock Liana. “I thought it was something! Silly Liana, how could I let someone come in while we’re doing important things? Even if it’s the living room, that’s absolutely not allowed.

“This was brought up by Vivian after we finished,” Mephilia smiled. “But, Liana, you don’t need to worry about this. Even if she were outside, she absolutely wouldn’t hear. You’ve tested the room’s soundproofing just now, haven’t you?”

“...”

“Although Liana’s voice was very loud...”

Gag her! Liana now wanted to find something to stuff Mephilia’s mouth!

Without thinking, Liana directly took a piece of meat from the table and stuffed it into Mephilia’s mouth. “This meat tastes quite good. Why don’t you try it?”

“...”

Omnomnom

“The taste is indeed good, but I still prefer Liana’s cooking,” Mephilia smiled.

“Saying this will make Vivian, who carefully prepared the dinner, sad,” Liana looked at the table’s arrangement and the room’s atmosphere, all carefully prepared by Vivian. But unfortunately, they had already battled, and now they’re in sage mode.

“Anyway, she can’t hear.” Mephilia said mischievously.

The candlelight shone on Mephilia’s face, making her look very gentle and sacred.

“After what happened today, Liana, your situation has become irreversible. They will kill you at any cost.”

“Mm, I know.” When Liana made this decision, she already knew the outcome.

This was also why Mephilia was so angry. If Liana didn’t have a backup plan, Mephilia would definitely have ordered Minoga on the spot to tie Liana up and bring her to her side.

No matter how much Liana objected, it wouldn’t work. After all, Liana couldn’t beat her, whether in bed or out of bed.

“How are the preparations going?” Mephilia would no longer ask if there was any certainty or confidence.

From the moment she agreed to Liana’s plan, Mephilia already believed that Liana could absolutely do it. What she could do was to support Liana wholeheartedly and help her prepare.

“The fake death plan has been confirmed to have no problems. She is steadily improving, working very hard. It might not even take a month to be ready.

Then there’s the illusion magic. Lady Gardenia has prepared the materials to form an illusion in an instant, and I’ll be killed during that time. As long as there’s no Judge present, there won’t be any accidents,” Liana said.

“This matter needs to be discussed with Father.” Mephilia rarely wanted to seek help from the King of Lisat.

“If possible.” The King of Lisat was a very reasonable king. He should be very clear about her current situation, and asking for Judges to be quiet for a while—he should help, right?

“Father is very satisfied with you, Liana,” Mephilia smiled. Originally, she thought father would stop her, considering their genders, and the kingdom definitely still needed heirs.

The result was that the King of Lisat seemed not to care about this matter at all. After all, he was already prepared to hand over the Lisat Kingdom to Duke Venus.

In the eyes of the old king, whether it was his own bloodline wasn’t the most important thing. What was most important was whether you could manage and take good care of the kingdom.

“...” Mephilia raised her hand. “This ring, even if you don’t wear it, Father already knows what it means. After all, I only have you.”

“Speaking of rings,” Mephilia took out a small box. “I’ve also prepared one for you.”

“Oh...” Liana’s heart was beating a bit fast now.

A single ring might not represent much, but a pair of rings symbolizes a very special meaning.

Mephilia opened the box, revealing the ring inside.

The ring looked very exquisite. Beautiful patterns were carved on the delicate ring. The white gold ring was the same color as Liana’s hair, and the jade-colored gem embedded in the center was like Liana’s eyes, shining with dazzling light.

“From material selection, carving, to shaping, I did it all by myself,” Mephilia said very proudly.

“That’s amazing!” Liana immediately hugged Mephilia. It’s worth noting that before this, Mephilia had no foundation at all. Being able to make such a delicate ring in a month’s time, she must have put in a lot of effort.

“You haven’t been researching this thing all the time when you’re free, have you?” Liana asked.

“What do you mean ‘this thing’! This is our treasure, okay!” Now it was Mephilia’s turn to get angry.

“Hehe.”

“This ring has three high-level enchantments carved on it. Even if something unexpected happens during the fake death, it can protect you, allowing you to hold on until Minoga comes to rescue you,” Mephilia said.

“You don’t even have a magical artifact with three high-level enchantments carved on it, do you?” An artifact with a single high-level enchantment was already priceless, not to mention one with three.

This wasn’t as simple as adding 1+1+1. Each additional rune increased the difficulty of carving by several times, and there were very strict requirements for the carrier.

“But I have Minoga, who is more powerful than those, so this is just right to protect you,” Mephilia took Liana’s hand and placed this ring that belonged to them on the ring finger of Liana’s right hand.

“I... feel strange” Liana didn’t know why, but she suddenly wanted to cry. Perhaps that day, Mephilia’s feeling was the same as hers now?

Mephilia extended her left hand, holding Liana’s right hand. The two rings touched each other. She hugged Liana. “I allow you to cry in my arms.”

“I won’t cry.”
