Mephilia maintained this posture for an entire night.

Until Minoga brought a coffin. “Princess Mephilia... please restrain your grief.”

“No...” Mephilia clutched Liana’s body.

“Princess, if you continue like this, it will only make Princess Liana suffer more. Please let Princess Liana... depart in peace.” Minoga’s words were filled with sorrow.

Wait, if Liana were actually conscious right now, she’d wonder if she had really died. These two don’t seem to be acting.

“...I understand.” Mephilia suppressed her inner grief and placed Liana in the coffin.

And in that moment, Sephirena used illusion magic, while Minoga took the opportunity to use spatial magic to switch Liana’s actual body.

The substitute was magically created by Loraviel. This was a skill that all assassins had to learn, to help them escape.

However, this could only last for a few minutes, after which it would disappear.

As for where Liana was teleported? Naturally, she was in Loraviel’s arms, being taken to the private residence that Mephilia had prepared for Liana.

Loraviel looked at the sleeping beauty in her arms and buried her face in Liana’s chest, inhaling deeply.

“Ah... it’s Princess Liana’s scent. How long has it been since we’ve had such intimate contact.” Loraviel’s voice trembled as her hands began to restlessly caress every inch of Liana’s skin.

Well-trained as she was, she should have maintained her composure in any situation, but now, she couldn’t calm down at all.

How could she calm down with Princess Liana right in front of her?

But Loraviel also understood the special nature of the forbidden drug. The sooner it was administered, the safer Princess Liana would be.

However, Loraviel had not seen her beloved Princess Liana after such a long time. She should let herself enjoy this a bit.

Loraviel could use various poisons and naturally had various antidotes as well.

She could easily make an antidote for the death-faking drug, but there was an even more convenient method—her own bodily fluids.

Loraviel pressed her lips against Liana’s, gradually transferring the sweet nectar from her mouth into Liana’s. Soon, Liana’s body began to respond.

Several hours later, Liana’s heart began to beat again, and slowly came to consciousness.

Waking up meant Loraviel had already given her the antidote, though her limbs were still numb and she couldn’t use her strength.

Her head ached a bit, but at least she can feel her body now. Her organs were gradually recovering, but complete recovery would still take some time.

Liana tried to open her eyes but couldn’t yet. Her limbs also couldn’t move, as if they were fixed in place.

“Hmm?” Liana was somewhat puzzled.

But soon, a familiar voice came through.

“Princess Liana, are you awake?”

Because Liana couldn’t see anything, she felt somewhat uneasy.

Moreover, Liana could feel a pair of hands suddenly climbing up her body, caressing her all over.

Liana wanted to speak but found she couldn’t, only able to make muffled sounds.

She wanted to struggle but couldn’t muster any strength.

As her body’s senses gradually recovered, Liana also realized that it wasn’t that she couldn’t open her eyes, but that her eyes were blindfolded.

And her limbs weren’t lacking strength; they were tied up.

Liana could only struggle, but the more she struggled, the more excited Loraviel, who was standing in front of Liana watching her, became.

The petite and adorable Liana was now like a lamb awaiting slaughter; pitiful, weak, and helpless.

Loraviel’s hand slid over Liana’s skin. Her body trembled along with Liana’s. She was so excited, so happy.

She sat on Liana’s thigh and removed Liana’s blindfold, to let her dear Liana see her.

Loraviel had become much leaner compared to three months ago, and she looked more mature. She could perfectly conceal her presence. Now, Liana couldn’t sense Loraviel’s magical power at all.

“It’s been a while, hasn’t it, Princess Liana?” Loraviel’s eyes were full of desire; her body also desired Liana.

“Mmm!” Liana wanted to say something but couldn’t.

Her mouth was stuffed with a towel, and she could only look at Loraviel.

Loraviel wasn’t in a hurry. She sat on Liana’s thigh, leaned back, and rested against Liana’s slightly raised bosom, feeling Liana’s softness.

She snapped her fingers, and a crystal ball appeared in front of Liana.

Inside the crystal ball, the current events at Venus Manor were being shown.

Obviously, Liana’s funeral was now being held at Venus Manor.

Mephilia wore white mourning clothes. Her blue eyes were now swollen and red from crying.

Her body trembled, and she couldn’t stop sobbing. Tears continuously fell from her eyes.

Next to her was Erinna, who now had a cold expression, her complexion at its worst.

She couldn’t believe that her sister Liana had died so simply.

She could vaguely sense that something was amiss. After all, her sister could use magic. How could she die under a wild beast?

But the fact of Liana’s death couldn’t be changed.

Those assassins had paid the price with their lives, but that was far from enough.

Behind the assassins, there were definitely countless bastards. They were the ones who caused Liana’s death.

Liana’s coffin was lowered into the ground amid drums and bells.

The King of Lisat personally attended, setting up a barrier around Liana’s tombstone for protection.

“It was I who caused your death,” The king stood in the rain, reciting a eulogy for Liana.

Those who could enjoy a eulogy from the king himself in the entire Lisat Kingdom wouldn’t exceed the count of one hand.

Mephilia’s emotions were already on the verge of collapse. She looked at the King of Lisat, not knowing whether she was acting or truly wanting to vent her original anger towards him.

“Yes, it’s all your fault. Why did you suddenly summon us back? You knew that Liana couldn’t use magic. You knew very well that Hodwen and Oester wanted to eliminate Liana!”

“Princess, we can’t pretend we didn’t hear that,” Artivens and Oester’s guardian appeared before Mephilia.

“We can understand your sorrow now, but that’s not an excuse for you to randomly sling mud at other heirs.”

“Sling mud at other heirs? Are they worthy?” Mephilia looked at them coldly. “Because of me, Liana experienced many unfair treatments, and many of Liana’s contributions were attributed to me. I’ve wronged her.

“Regarding the discovery of spellcrafting, I mentioned before that I understood this matter after being enlightened by a friend. Now that Liana is gone, I can say it without any reservations. After all, she can’t hear it anymore and can’t blame me.”

“Incantation modification was discovered by Liana. She indeed couldn’t use magic, but over these years, she never intended to give up. Unable to use magic, could she not understand and read magic? Over these many years, she continuously studied various methods and read various books, finally discovering that incantations could be changed.

“But she couldn’t use magic, so she could only let me try. Just as Liana thought, I succeeded, changed the spell, and obtained a brand new one. All of this was done by Liana. I merely stole her achievements.

“My heart has been tormented. I deceived you all, using someone else’s achievements to gain your support. But Liana always comforted me, saying I was an excellent heir and would definitely become an excellent monarch.”

“I used to think so too...”

Mephilia glanced at the King of Lisat but ultimately didn’t reveal what the old king had done.

“But because of me, Liana suffered many ‘malicious’ attacks. We were physically and mentally exhausted. At this point, I was wondering, was it because of my status as heir that Liana ended up like this? Liana was a victim. Countess Rose’s scheme against her, was also to defame me.

“Sometimes I thought, if only I weren’t here. If I didn’t exist, Liana wouldn’t have been treated this way, would she? She was capable, she was intelligent, her understanding of magic was far superior to ours. If she could grow smoothly, she would definitely be tens of times more excellent than me. But... I harmed her, both in the past and now.

“I originally thought that if I gave up my heir status, you would leave Liana alone. But I didn’t expect that after losing the protection of such a status, you both would become even more excessive.

“It’s my fault towards Liana. Everything she did was for me, but I couldn’t protect her and ended up causing her death... Since you two care so much about the title of king, I’ll give it to you. I don’t want the heir status anymore!”

It could be said that Mephilia said this in front of everyone in the Lisat Kingdom.

This made Oester and Hodwen’s mouths almost split from smiling.

But soon, they realized that the accomplices who had just cooperated pleasantly were now deadly enemies holding each other’s weaknesses.

Between the two of them, only one could survive. Only the victor could become king.

Mephilia coldly looked at everyone around.

“Please leave Liana’s home. You’re not welcome here. None of the nobles are welcome... and neither am I.” Mephilia knelt before Liana’s grave.

“Princess Mephilia truly loves Princess Liana deeply,” Loraviel was touched by Mephilia’s words.

Loraviel had always been very clear that Princess Mephilia’s feelings for Princess Liana were absolutely genuine. She could die for Princess Liana without hesitation.

She admired this kind of emotion and respected Princess Mephilia, but at the same time, she also disliked this foxy princess.

Why, why fall in love with the same person as her?

This couldn’t be blamed on her. If anyone was to blame, it would be Princess Liana for being too alluring.

Just standing there, Loraviel felt her body warming up, her gaze unconsciously falling on her.

“Don’t cry, Princess Liana,” Loraviel reached out and wiped away the tears from the corner of Liana’s eyes.

“Are you afraid of me?” Loraviel knew better than anyone that Liana wasn’t afraid. It was because of what Princess Mephilia said that moved Princess Liana deeply.

And Princess Mephilia’s crying appearance was truly heartbreaking. Even from her perspective as an onlooker, she thought so. For two people deeply in love with each other, the feelings would only be deeper than her own.

The reason she said this was entirely intentional, wanting Princess Liana to hear it. Why?

Because Princess Liana was still in the dark.

Ah... Princess Liana, what delicious expression will you have next?

Loraviel’s breathing began to quicken. It had been so long since she had such intimate contact with Princess Liana.

Princess Mephilia, you’ve already monopolized Princess Liana for so long. Letting me use her a bit isn’t too much, is it?

Liana wanted to say something, but Loraviel simply didn’t give her the chance.

Loraviel caressed Liana’s body. “I remember clearly, Princess Liana. The day you took my body, did you ever imagine there would be such a day? You tied up, unable to move, like a lamb awaiting slaughter.”

“Mmm!” Liana could feel her mana gradually recovering. Give her a little more time, and she could break free...?!

Liana’s pupils contracted. She looked at Loraviel in disbelief.

Liana’s clothes were directly stripped off by Loraviel, revealing her delicate skin.

Liana had just managed to break free from her restraints, but was easily pressed down by Loraviel with one hand, her mistress’ hands raised above her head.

Loraviel extended her tongue and licked Liana’s smooth armpit, very delicious.

Liana’s body hadn’t fully recovered. Even if it had, she might not be a match for Loraviel.

Ah... the more Princess Liana struggled, the more excited Loraviel became.

This might be Loraviel’s only chance. After the truth was revealed, she would never see Princess Liana like this again. She might also be the only one to see Princess Liana in this state.

After all, Princess Liana and Princess Mephilia loved each other so deeply. The latter would never force Princess Liana.

In other words, this kind of Princess Liana was a first for her.

“Princess Liana, how does it feel? Oh, no, that’s a bit too easy for Princess Liana, isn’t it? After all, Princess Liana really likes girls.” Loraviel’s face showed a morbid smile.

Her hands played with Liana’s body at will.

Seeing Liana’s body struggling due to embarrassment and fear, her actions didn’t stop at all, even using magic.

[Speed Decelerate]

“Are you happy, Princess Liana? Isn’t this what Princess Liana has always wanted me to do? Hehehehe~” Loraviel’s hand slowly moved down from Liana’s abdomen, towards that abyss.

“Princess Liana, you... really were looking forward to this, weren’t you?” Loraviel felt a hint of coolness, then warmth. The smile on her face couldn’t be contained.

Princess Liana had feelings for her. This was incredibly important and joyful for Loraviel.

Loraviel pressed down on Liana’s right hand. The ring on her ring finger was so eye-catching.

I’m sorry, Princess Mephilia. Although you’re crying heartbrokenly for Princess Liana, right now, Princess Liana is being bullied by me.

Tears glistened in the corners of Liana’s eyes. ‘I’m sorry... I’m sorry...’

Loraviel’s body trembled with excitement, but she hadn’t lost her reason. She knew that continuing like this would be going too far.

Though it seemed she had already gone too far.

Loraviel removed the towel from Liana’s mouth and untied her hands and feet.

[Speed Restore]

With the speed restored, all the pleasure that was held back by slowed time before flooded Liana’s head, almost making her faint.

Liana’s chest heaved continuously, her gaze somewhat dazed.

“I’m sorry...” But after Liana regained her senses and could speak, the first words she said were, I’m sorry...

‘Princess Liana... really, why, why, why! Why can you be so cute, so heartbreaking, so lovable?’

“I’m sorry... Loraviel... I’m sorry...” Liana kept apologizing.

“Sorry? Sorry for what?” Loraviel looked at Liana playfully.

“I defiled you. I made you stay at Venus Manor, made you do things you didn’t like, made you... separated from your mother. Originally, you should have been studying at Ibett Magic Academy, becoming an excellent student. It’s all because of me, it’s all my fault. I’m sorry...”

Loraviel witnessed Princess Liana’s words and her remorseful expression, and she felt both heartache and a different kind of... pleasure.

“So, does that mean everything Princess Liana did before was an act?”

“I’m sorry. I don’t want to explain what I’ve done. I know that my actions have hurt you. Regardless of my intentions, I’ve done irreparable things to you. I’ll satisfy all your conditions, really... I’m sorry.” Liana bit her lip.

“Princess Liana’s acting skills are truly impressive, fooling all of us,” Loraviel said.

“I don’t expect you to forgive me. I just don’t want to do something I’ll regret.”

“Then, Princess Liana, was this also an act?” Loraviel withdrew her hand, holding it in front of Liana’s eyes.

Between Loraviel’s thumb and forefinger, an transparent string was drawn, looking very provocative.

“I...” Liana naturally knew what this was.

Loraviel kissed Liana’s forehead. “There’s nothing to apologize for, Princess Liana. At this moment, I am very happy.”

Liana short-circuited. What was Loraviel saying?

“The one who should apologize is me, Princess Liana. I’ve always known that you were helping me. You didn’t do anything to harm me. You don’t need to blame yourself. Being able to follow you is my honor. I’m proud of it.”

A book was placed down.

On the cover were these words:

“Princess Liana’s Observation Diary”

But that wasn’t all. After that, there were several envelopes. Liana could recognize at a glance that they were letters she had written to Loraviel’s mother.

Among them was a letter containing seven gold coins, the seven extra gold coins Liana had given Loraviel at the beginning.

So... she had known from the start.

“Loraviel...?!” Loraviel didn’t give Liana a chance to speak, directly pressing her lips against Liana’s, extending her tongue.

She plundered Liana, who wanted to resist, wanted to say something, but the death-faking drug’s effects still lingered. She couldn’t muster any strength and could only watch as Loraviel moved back and forth on top of her.

What the hell is going on?!

“I love you, Princess Liana. Like Princess Mephilia, I love you deeply.”

Loraviel brought her slowly to the nearby bed as she attacked her mistress’ lovely face multiple times.

Loraviel’s head hovered over Liana’s skirt, and legs placed on either side of Liana’s neck. Looking at Loraviel’s movements, Liana knew what she wanted to do.

Loraviel lifted her skirt and sat down on Liana’s face.

But that wasn’t all. Liana felt her own skirt, which had just been lowered, being lifted again.

And she could feel a soft tongue touching her skin.

Liana looked at the white ceiling, her gaze somewhat bewildered.

Her body had fully recovered, but she felt mentally exhausted, her body also very tired.

What had happened? What had Loraviel just done? Why did she do these things to her?

What did “very happy” mean, what did “knew from the beginning” mean...

“I’m sorry, Princess Liana. I was a bit too much. But I... really couldn’t control myself. I’m sorry. I know this is very bad, but I really couldn’t help it.” A tear fell on Liana’s face.

Liana’s vision gradually cleared from haziness. It turned out she was now lying on Loraviel’s lap.

Loraviel lowered her head, looking at her. “Princess Liana, I’m really sorry. Even though you’re already with Princess Mephilia, I still couldn’t suppress my love for you, so... I could only use this despicable method, wanting to make you remember me.”

Loraviel’s hands holding Liana’s head were trembling.

“...” Liana’s mind was also very confused. Her two encounters with Loraviel could basically be described as one-sided forced encounters.

But did Liana truly have no feelings for Loraviel?

That was impossible. Liana had observed Loraviel’s performance, and after knowing Loraviel’s feelings, she was even more certain that on that day, Loraviel wasn’t acting out of so-called fear, but out of love.

How could she not love a maid who would sacrifice her life to protect her?

But... what about Mephilia?

Liana didn’t know.

“I don’t expect to have any status by your side. Whether as a toy or a little dog, as long as I can stay by your side, I’m willing,” Loraviel said.

“...Don’t be so humble,” Liana reached out, touching Loraviel’s cheek. She did indeed look much thinner.

Loraviel was very hardworking. When she was by Liana’s side, she did many things without complaint. But even so, she had never been this thin.

It was evident how much effort Loraviel had put in for this day.

Who wouldn’t love such a maid?

It could be said that Loraviel’s love for her was no less than Mephilia’s, but... she already had Mephilia.

“I know what you’re struggling with, Princess Liana. I also know that what I’ve done is a very despicable thing. But, Princess Liana, I really... really couldn’t control myself. I once thought that being a maid by your side would be enough, so I could properly repay your kindness.

“But after being by your side for a while, my heart was filled with another emotion. I tried to ignore it, but constantly being by Princess Liana’s side, the more I suppressed this feeling, the more intense it became. I’m really, really sorry, Princess Liana. Please... just let me stay by your side.”

Loraviel pleaded very humbly.

This girl, how is she just like Mephilia, with one expression in bed and now another with an innocent little girl’s face? The little devil from before and now are completely different people, right?

“Thank you for your love.”

“...” Loraviel’s face was filled with disappointment.

Words that start with “thank you” are usually rejections, right?

“This makes me feel somewhat flattered. I think no one would dislike someone who loves them deeply, right?” Liana looked into Loraviel’s eyes.

In her eyes, there wasn’t the sharpness of an assassin. There was only a little girl who had made a mistake.

Made a mistake?

Wasn’t it herself who had step by step made Loraviel like this?

“Of course you can be my maid, but... there’s no need to put yourself in such a humble position. You’re very capable, very excellent. You are Loraviel, my maid.”

“Thank you...” Loraviel couldn’t stop her tears, which kept falling onto Liana’s face.

It seems I’m particularly skilled at making girls cry.

“But, regarding your feelings...” Liana bit her lip. Someone like Loraviel, once they set their sights on someone, would almost never give up. But she couldn’t betray Mephilia.

Loraviel placed her finger on Liana’s lips. She didn’t want to put Princess Liana in a difficult position. “I won’t tell Princess Mephilia about this. Let’s keep this a secret between us, okay?”

“Mm...” This was probably the best solution they could think of now.

“Princess Liana, I have one more question.”

“What?”

“Have you ever liked me, even if just for a moment?” Loraviel bit her lip.

“...Yes.”

The moment Liana nodded, Loraviel’s cold lips pressed down.

Liana could feel Loraviel’s lips trembling on her own.

Loraviel had originally thought that when Princess Liana said no, she would use magic to prevent Princess Liana from speaking, and then pretend this never happened.

But Princess Liana actually nodded. Loraviel didn’t care if this was just to comfort her. Princess Liana’s nod was enough for her.

“No matter what happens, I am your maid. I will always be by your side, protecting your safety. I will never leave your side. I love you, Princess Liana.”

Liana laid in bed for a long time, her mind still in chaos.

In the future, how should she face Loraviel?

And how should she face Mephilia?

With Liana’s personality, she naturally wouldn’t ignore Loraviel.

And Liana also understood Loraviel’s feelings. She was absolutely loyal to her. Finding such a loyal and deeply loving maid was truly her blessing.

But the problem arose here. Such hard-to-find maids and childhood friends, she encountered all at once, and they clearly expressed their love and had intimate contact.

If nothing had happened, Liana might still have had room to maneuver, but they had indeed had this kind of relationship.

“I’m sorry, Princess Liana. Because of my selfishness, I’ve caused you trouble,” Loraviel also understood very clearly what kind of predicament Liana would be in because of her actions.

“This is my problem...” Ultimately, it was because of Liana herself that they had reached this point.

“I’ve prepared some nutritious food for you. After all, you’ve just been released from the forbidden drug. You need to eat,” Loraviel said.

“...So you knew about these things,” Liana was somewhat depressed. Who starts undressing someone before they’ve fully recovered?

“Princess Liana, my bodily fluids are the best antidote. You’ve already drunk quite a bit, haven’t you?” Loraviel gently lifted her skirt with her hand.

The long skirt had a side slit three inches above the knee, revealing black lace stockings, but when moving, it was perfectly concealed by the outer skirt folds.

Liana turned her face away somewhat embarrassedly.

Liana now indeed needed to rest.

She went to enjoy the dinner prepared by Loraviel. How to put it? It had a very nostalgic taste. Really, it had been a long time since she had enjoyed food prepared by Loraviel.

“It’s delicious,” Liana now frankly acknowledged this point.

Just receiving Liana’s simple praise, Loraviel was as happy as a spoiled little girl.

Liana looked at Loraviel’s appearance and also displayed a more relaxed expression, but in the next second, she became very serious.

Mephilia was still kneeling in front of her “tombstone,” with Minoga next to her, holding an umbrella for her.

Mephilia was still crying, crying her heart out, making people’s hearts ache.

That should be enough, right? Liana was really worried that Mephilia’s body wouldn’t hold up.

Liana bit her lip. Mephilia was working so hard for her, but she...

Liana didn’t want to let anyone down, but continuing like this would disappoint both of them.

Liana didn’t want this. “I will tell Mephilia about you and me.”

“...Mm,” Loraviel hadn’t expected Princess Liana to decide so quickly.

“But not now,” Liana would have to be kicked in the head by a donkey to tell Mephilia at a time like this.

“During this time, will you just be my maid for now?”

“Yes!” With Princess Liana’s words, it was almost certain that Princess Liana was willing to accept her, willing to give her some place in her heart.

How could this not make Loraviel happy?

Liana bit her lip, somewhat unable to continue watching.

Mephilia had really sacrificed too much for her.

“...Princess Mephilia truly loves Princess Liana deeply,” Loraviel naturally saw this. She greatly respected Princess Mephilia. Princess Mephilia was excellent in all aspects. Except for competing with her for Princess Liana, Loraviel had no issues with Mephilia.

“Mm.”

In the image, not only was Mephilia there, but also Erinna and Naibert. However, Erinna appeared very calm, Liana didn’t know what she was thinking.

Liana also saw many people coming to bring her flowers: Tari, Coco, and others...

She had really deceived many people this time.

And ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ it had bought her temporary peace.

Liana waved her hand, turning off the crystal ball. She really couldn’t bear to continue watching. With Minoga by Mephilia’s side protecting her, there was no need to worry about her safety.

Liana looked at Loraviel before her. She had many things she wanted to say but didn’t know where to begin.

Finally, she squeezed out some words, “Have you been well recently?”

“I’m fine.”

“You’ve lost weight.”

“Well, it’s training related to poisons. Dealing with toxic substances every day, it would be strange not to lose weight,” Loraviel looked at her palm, not feeling she had lost much weight.

“Your thighs aren’t as comfortable to lie on as before.”

“Then, for Princess Liana’s sake, I must eat more,” Loraviel said with a smile.

“Just be like before.”

“Mm.”

“And the wound on your chest,” Although her consciousness had been somewhat blurry, Liana had clearly seen a frightening wound on Loraviel’s chest. “It’s from when you protected me last time, right?”

“Mm,” Loraviel, right in front of Liana, unbuttoned her upper clothes. Her impressive fullness was directly exposed before Liana.

Liana covered her eyes with her hands. “Pay a little attention!”

Liana saw that wound through the gaps in her fingers. “Why not remove it? That’s a simple thing for you, isn’t it?”

Although she had used deadly poison to make her aware of her affinity, it had no effect on Loraviel at all. So if Loraviel wanted, this wound could disappear at any time.

The reason it was still there was entirely because Loraviel wanted to keep it.

“This is my badge of honor,” Loraviel said very proudly. “I originally thought no one would ever see this wound again.”

“Girls should take better care of their bodies. If you really want some kind of badge, I’ll give you one later,” Liana said.

“But this wound is under my clothes, normally it wouldn’t be seen... Oh, I understand,” Loraviel nodded thoughtfully.

“What exactly do you understand?!”

“Nothing,” Loraviel smiled, her finger gently sliding over the wound, which quickly disappeared.

This honor no longer needed to be kept, because she had already become worthy to be by Princess Liana’s side.

Seeing this, Liana became angry. “And that teacher of yours is really not a good person, doing such dangerous things. What if something unexpected had happened?!”

“This...” Loraviel looked somewhat troubled. It wasn’t because Princess Liana was cursing her teacher; that didn’t matter. After all, she stood on Princess Liana’s side.

But the problem was that after this period of interaction, Loraviel already knew that Lady Orleya was Princess Liana’s grandmother.

However, from Lady Orleya, she had heard that Princess Liana didn’t seem to know this point.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing... Princess Liana, what you said is indeed reasonable. Besides, if it’s just a test, why involve unrelated people? What if Princess Liana had been accidentally injured?” Loraviel said.

“When I get the chance, I’ll definitely teach that person a lesson,” Even if they were an excellent assassin of the Lisat Kingdom, they couldn’t compare to her father, right? At worst, she’d bring out her father to pressure them!

Loraviel didn’t want to discuss this topic further, otherwise, when Princess Liana learned the truth later, she might be depressed for quite a while.

Loraviel took a crystal dagger from the garter on her thigh. “As for Princess Liana’s gift, I received it a long time ago.”

Liana looked at the very crude and somewhat uneven dagger. “You still keep this?”

“This is an important gift from Princess Liana,” Loraviel treasured this thing like a precious object.

“Throw it away.”

“Even if it’s Princess Liana’s request...”

“Something I casually gave you can’t be considered a gift. This is,” Liana took out a crystal dagger from the table drawer.

“However, this is also the first time I’ve made such a thing. I don’t know if it’s suitable.”

Loraviel held the dagger with both hands. “I will stake my life to protect this dagger!”

“You’ve got the point wrong! Weapons are for protecting people. People protecting weapons, what nonsense is that?!”

“I know, of course,” Loraviel looked at the dagger in her hand, her heart full of joy.

“But my abilities are limited. The durability of the dagger might be average,” Liana was very clear that without the support of enchantments, the things she made were actually very fragile.

“Okay,” Loraviel played with the dagger in her hand, very happy.

Liana sighed in relief. It was good that Loraviel liked it.

“So are you going to stay by my side as a maid now?” Liana asked.

“Although I’d like to nod, I’m not strong enough yet. I can’t protect Princess Liana well,” Loraviel shook her head. “But I’ll be back soon, Princess Liana.”

“Is that so?” Even with Loraviel’s high talent, Liana didn’t believe that in just three short months, Loraviel could complete her training.

In the original work, it took Loraviel nearly two years to return to the main storyline.

“However, during this time, I can stay well by Princess Liana’s side, accompanying Princess Liana, until Princess Mephilia returns,” Loraviel said.

“...” What a cat, stealing fish, then running away when the mistress returns.

“Mephilia...” Liana’s eyes still showed some concern. She wanted to look but didn’t dare.

“Princess Mephilia definitely has her own plans. She won’t do anything to make Princess Liana worry,” Loraviel comforted.
