During these few days with Loraviel, she hadn’t done anything to Liana.

This reaffirmed Liana’s thoughts.

Loraviel was somewhat insecure, and today, it was time for their temporary separation.

A week had passed since Liana’s fake death, and Mephilia had knelt before her tombstone for an entire week.

Now, she had stood up and was preparing to leave.

This meant she would be returning soon, and Loraviel would have to leave.

“You don’t really need to leave so urgently, right? Mephilia already knows,” Liana said.

“Has Princess Liana already explained our relationship to Princess Mephilia?” Loraviel was surprised. During this time, she had been practically glued to Liana’s side, but she had never seen Princess Liana mention this matter.

“Of course... not.” How could Liana dare to mention this? At least not yet. “Later, when the time is right, I will tell her, I promise.”

“Princess Liana is really afraid of Princess Mephilia, isn’t she?” Loraviel smiled.

How could she not be afraid of this?

“So, I’d better not appear here, right? Otherwise, Princess Liana would have to worry about me.” Loraviel said, “After all, Princess Mephilia must be very tired. Princess Liana should take good care of her now.”

“Besides, I should go back too. I’ve been very happy and relaxed living here with Princess Liana for seven days. I feel like I’ve gained some weight,” Loraviel laughed. “Well then, I’ll head back first, Princess Liana.”

Loraviel waved her hand.

But at this moment, Liana suddenly grabbed Loraviel’s hand.

You fool, you’ve already taken the most difficult step, why are you suddenly backing out now?

You were so bold before, so what’s going on now?

Liana held Loraviel’s hand. “This is my order. Stay right here, understand?”

Liana used a commanding tone to make Loraviel stay by her side.

Although she was a bit worried about what might happen when Mephilia saw Loraviel upon her return.

But at this moment, she absolutely couldn’t let Loraviel leave. She wanted to properly introduce Loraviel to Mephilia.

“...It’s been a long time since I’ve heard Princess Liana speak to me in such a tone. It feels nostalgic, like going back to before.” Loraviel also gave up on the idea of leaving.

“It’s because you won’t listen to me properly. Next time you do this, I’ll have to punish you!” Liana said very seriously.

“Punishment?” Loraviel was a bit expectant. “What kind of punishment?”

Liana looked at Loraviel’s expectant face. What a pervert.

“I’ll punish you by making you copy that strange observation diary one hundred times. No magic allowed, and no mistakes permitted. If you make even one mistake, you’ll have to start over,” Liana said.

Liana could see that Loraviel’s expression obviously froze. Loraviel couldn’t have imagined such a strange punishment.

“Princess Liana, as you know, obedience is a maid’s basic principle,” Loraviel said.

It seemed that even someone as strong as Loraviel didn’t want to be punished with copying work.

Liana approached Loraviel and reached out her hand. Liana remembered that Loraviel’s skirt had a large opening on one side, though she didn’t know the purpose of such a design.

Liana’s hand reached into the side of Loraviel’s skirt.

“Princess Liana?!” Loraviel was startled by Liana’s proactive behavior. After all, Mephilia was on her way back now. If she were to catch this scene...

“What’s this?” Liana felt something on Loraviel’s thigh.

“The dagger Princess Liana gave me.”

Now she understood why the clothes were designed this way—it was to make it easier to access her weapon.

But that wasn’t Liana’s purpose. She gave Loraviel’s thigh a firm pinch.

Then she withdrew her hand and placed it on Loraviel’s stomach. There was no excess flesh, just the feel of very powerful muscle lines.

“Princess Liana?” Loraviel still didn’t know what Princess Liana was doing.

“The feel is indeed the same as before. Training is fine, but you should also take care of your body. I don’t like it when you’re too thin, though I don’t like it when you’re too fat either,” Liana said.

“...Mm, I understand.” Was Princess Liana concerned about her body?

“Go prepare yourself. Mephilia will be back soon,” Liana said. “Try to make a good impression on Mephilia. Though I feel you don’t need to specially prepare anything because you’re already an excellent maid.”

“Thank you for your praise, Princess Liana. I’ll go prepare then.” Loraviel nodded.

About an hour later, Liana could feel something approaching in this direction.

She reached out and touched the barrier. Liana, inside the barrier, quickly noticed that someone had entered this area.

But Liana didn’t panic, because the person coming was someone Liana was very familiar with.

Liana stood at the door early, waiting. She timed it right and opened the ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) door.

“Welcome home, Meph...” Liana didn’t even have time to greet Mephilia.

A slender figure directly pounced on Liana.

Mephilia’s fragrance filled Liana’s nostrils.

Mephilia’s cold lips covered Liana’s red lips, constantly taking from Liana.

Mephilia now didn’t care about Minoga behind her, anyway, she already knew about this.

Mephilia hugged Liana tightly. Her hands were trembling; she was afraid.

“Ouch!” Liana, pinned down by Mephilia, suddenly cried out.

Mephilia, for some reason, had lightly bitten Liana’s tongue.

“Thank goodness, Liana.” Mephilia hugged Liana tightly. “So it wasn’t a dream.”

“You could have bitten yourself instead.” Liana said somewhat irritably.

But looking at Mephilia, who was still crying, Liana’s eyes were full of sympathy.

Because she wanted others to believe too, did she make Mephilia think that she had really passed away?

“I’ve been here all along, Mephilia,” Liana said softly.

Mephilia also calmed down a bit.

“You really scared me to death. Why torture yourself like this?” Liana hugged Mephilia. “You know I would be very worried about you!”

“But that’s the only way to prevent them from suspecting us, isn’t it? Only this way would they believe that you, Liana, were truly dead,” Mephilia said.

Although it might be a bit impolite, Liana was still puzzled. “Mephilia, what were you thinking at that time? Crying for seven days and nights.”

Liana’s hand touched Mephilia’s cheek. Her eyes were very swollen and looked somewhat frightening.

“Anyway, definitely not about a future where you’re dead, because that simply doesn’t exist.” Mephilia pressed Liana’s hand with her own, closing her eyes to feel the current reality.

“I would never let such a future happen, Liana. I absolutely won’t let you die, even if it means risking my own life. If such a thing really happened, I would definitely go with you. You are my everything, Liana.”

Liana felt her shoulders becoming a bit heavy.

Mephilia’s love was too heavy.

“I won’t let that kind of thing happen, and don’t say such unlucky things. We will live well together,” Liana said.

“Of course.”

“So, what were you thinking about at that time?” Since she hadn’t thought about Liana’s death, what exactly had she thought about that made Mephilia so sad?

“It was something that happened before. I thought about how cold you were to me before you left, which made me feel very afraid, so...”

Liana now understood why. If such a thing really happened, Mephilia would definitely go mad.

“Don’t do this again next time. A whole week is not good for your health,” Liana said with great concern.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. This level is nothing to me,” Mephilia said.

“You’re lying. Look, your fingers have turned white. I’ve been watching. To abstain from eating, drinking, or sleeping for seven days; even with your good constitution, you can’t handle it.”

“Then let me absorb some of Liana’s energy.” Mephilia rested on Liana’s shoulder, really feeling Liana’s presence...

Wait, why is there a stranger’s scent?

Mephilia opened her eyes and saw a girl in a maid’s uniform standing in front of her.

“Did I disturb you?” Loraviel had a smile on her face.

But obviously, the smile on Loraviel’s face was feigned. Although she was touched after hearing Mephilia’s words.

But after seeing that the person Princess Mephilia was hugging was Princess Liana, how could she be happy?

“Eh?” Mephilia’s temperature was rising at a visible rate. Her snow-white skin now turned red. Out of embarrassment, Mephilia grabbed Liana’s shoulders and shook her vigorously. “Liana! Why didn’t you tell me there was someone else here!”

“I couldn’t have fled here out of thin air, right? Besides, I told you before that I needed to clear things up with Loraviel,” Liana felt her head was about to be shaken dizzy.

But just at this moment, Mephilia’s hands suddenly slipped, and then her entire person leaned towards Liana.

“Mephilia?!” Liana hurriedly supported Mephilia.

“Minoga!”

“Don’t worry, Princess Liana. The princess is fine, she’s just too tired. I told the princess to rest for a day first, then see Princess Liana after she’s rested. But the princess wouldn’t listen. She had to come see Princess Liana to be at ease,” Minoga said.

“Sorry for worrying you.” Perhaps because she had seen Liana, Mephilia suddenly relaxed.

Seeing Mephilia’s weak state, Liana directly lifted her up. “Let’s go rest for a bit.”

“Liana?” Being princess-carried in front of so many people made Mephilia feel both embarrassed and delighted.

“Don’t talk for now. Loraviel, please prepare some supplements for Mephilia.” Liana took Mephilia back to the bedroom.

“Really, I told you not to act recklessly! What if your body really had a problem? What would we do then?” Liana’s eyes were full of concern for Mephilia.

Mephilia felt a bit sorry for Liana, making her worry. But seeing Liana’s concerned gaze, she also felt it was quite nice to be watched over by Liana.

“It won’t happen next time.”

“Aaah! You’re making me so mad! I originally wanted to scold you, but now how can I scold you!” Liana could only be silently angry now.

“Hehe.” Mephilia naturally knew what Liana wanted to talk about.

“This was originally your wisdom. I can’t claim it as my own. This is wisdom that can permeate in this world forevetmore. Your name should be engraved on it, not stolen by me,” Mephilia said.

“Between us, do we need to talk about stealing?” Liana was truly a bit angry.

“Liana, don’t underestimate me. Even without this, I could still become the monarch,” Mephilia said with great confidence.

This wasn’t Mephilia lying. Originally, she didn’t need to rely on this to become the monarch. What Liana did only accelerated the process for Mephilia.

“Princess Liana, Princess.” Loraviel came in with a bowl of porridge at this moment.

When she woke up today, Loraviel had cleaned the entire house, removing all traces of her scent, otherwise Princess Mephilia would definitely notice.

“Thank you.” After taking the bowl, Liana scooped up a spoonful with a spoon, gently blew on it, then brought it to Mephilia’s lips.

“I’m just a bit weak, not that I can’t move, moreover...” Mephilia glanced at Loraviel. There was still someone else here.

“Open your mouth.” Liana only showed some assertiveness at times like this.

“Oh.” Mephilia obediently opened her mouth.
