Mephilia slept for a long time this time, seemingly truly exhausted. She had been constantly worried about Liana, and the inner pain had been tormenting her continuously.

Now, after seeing Liana safe, Mephilia relaxed, closed her eyes, and had a good rest.

But Liana was somewhat surprised that Mephilia had slept for an entire day.

Liana leaned back in her chair, very worried. She had asked Minoga, who had examined Mephilia’s body and confirmed there was nothing seriously wrong. She was just too tired and sleeping deeply.

Liana absentmindedly squeezed Mephilia’s hand. It was soft and comfortable to touch. Squeezing strange things seemed truly addictive.

“Having fun?” Mephilia opened her eyes.

“Did I wake you?” Liana asked.

“Not really. Liana, your squeezing feels really nice.” Mephilia sat up. She felt much lighter now and had more time to spend with Liana.

“What time is it now?” Mephilia looked outside. Why did it feel like time hadn’t changed?

“It’s around noon, twelve o’clock. Perfect timing to get up for a meal,” Liana said.

“Twelve o’clock?” Mephilia remembered that when she first arrived here, it was only eleven. “I only slept for an hour? But why do I feel like I slept for so long?”

“Because you really did sleep for a long time, from eleven yesterday to twelve today, you little sleepyhead.” Liana reached out and pinched Mephilia’s cheek. “Really, you worried me to death, sleeping for so long.”

“What?” Mephilia was obviously surprised. “I slept for an entire day? Really?”

“What else?” Liana rolled her eyes at Mephilia. “Next time, don’t do this again, or I’ll really get angry.”

“I know.” Mephilia stood up from the bed and turned a circle in front of Liana. “See? Nothing’s wrong with me, right?”

“It seems next time I should find an opportunity to do the same to you,” Liana said irritably.

Indeed, after hearing Liana’s words, Mephilia obviously panicked. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I won’t do it next time!”

If Liana did the same, Mephilia would die!

Liana didn’t have her constitution. What if she got hurt?

“See if you dare to do it again,” Liana threatened.

“I really won’t.” Mephilia held Liana’s hand and acted coquettishly.

It must be said that Liana was quite talented in certain areas.

They walked out of the bedroom. The table was set with many sumptuous dishes, most of them being nutritious foods.

“Did Loraviel prepare this?” Mephilia looked around but didn’t see any trace of Loraviel.

“Loraviel has already gone back. She needs to continue her training,” Liana said.

“She’s really hardworking.” Mephilia didn’t know about the relationship between Liana and Loraviel, though even if she knew, she couldn’t do anything about it.

“Mm.”

“By the way, after explaining things clearly, you didn’t let Loraviel warm your bed anymore, right?” Mephilia asked.

“...Of course not.” Liana’s expression froze for a moment, but fortunately, Mephilia didn’t notice.

“That’s good. After all, Liana, you’re such a gentle and kind person. After doing these things, I was afraid you might have converted her. If you still slept together at this time, she would really fall in love with you, wouldn’t she?” Mephilia said.

“Ahaha...” Liana laughed awkwardly, not knowing how to answer this question.

“Mephilia, what kind of person do you think Loraviel is?” Liana asked.

“Eh? Why are you suddenly asking me this question? Liana, you haven’t fallen in love with Loraviel, have you? Come to think of it, when someone blocks a deadly attack for you in a life-and-death moment, it’s hard not to be moved, right?” Mephilia teased. “Of course, I’m just joking.”

This wasn’t funny at all! Liana’s heart was about to jump out.

“My opinion of Loraviel is that she’s an excellent person with talent and a grateful heart. Being able to become your maid... is her honor,” Mephilia said.

“I thought being able to have her as my maid was my honor.” Liana hadn’t expected Mephilia to fake her out like this.

“If it were someone else, I would say so, but you’re Liana. Being able to stay by your side is something many people desire but can’t obtain,” Mephilia smiled.

Loraviel actually thought the same way. She felt a lot of competitive pressure. If she couldn’t do what a maid should do, what would happen if she was replaced?

“You make it sound like there’s some treasure to be gained by staying by my side.” Liana was somewhat depressed. Why did they all think this way?

“Isn’t that the case? Liana, you are a big, big treasure.” Mephilia gently bit Liana’s lip.

“You really like to bite people randomly.” Liana felt pain from her lip.

Yesterday was the same; Mephilia suddenly gave her tongue a bite.

“I’m only biting you.” Mephilia corrected.

“I know.”

The current situation had changed dramatically, and Liana couldn’t help but feel worried.

“Mephilia, what do you plan to do next?”

Holy magic appeared in Mephilia’s hand, her innate magic.

“The affairs of Lisat Kingdom have nothing to do with me, at least for now. Who told him to treat Liana that way?” Mephilia was obviously still angry.

“His Majesty the King must be having a headache these days.”

Apart from Liana, finding a suitable heir was very difficult. The King of Lisat couldn’t possibly let those other two become king, so he could only do it himself.

“Serves him right.” Mephilia didn’t show any courtesy, despite the other being the king, in addition to being her father.

“Mephilia, you’re really not polite to the king at all,” Liana said.

“Anyway, it has nothing to do with me now. I just need to improve myself, as long as I can ensure your safety, Liana.” Mephilia spoke carelessly, appearing very relaxed.

“You’re lying.” Liana immediately saw through Mephilia’s lie. “You can say you don’t care about being the heir, but you can’t possibly not care about those who support you. I’ve seen it all.”

“Tsk.” Mephilia pouted. How could she not know her own thoughts?

She was just feeling a bit upset now, so she said that.

“Those who support me, I don’t want to disappoint them either. And now, they’re also supporting you, Liana. You must have seen it, right? She told me that you used to be my burden, but now you’re my advantage, my bonus point.” Mephilia was very happy.

This was a very important matter for her.

Having her lover recognized by her supporters was truly a very important thing.

“So, prove it to the king. Show that you are an excellent monarch. Even if not perfect, even if swayed by emotions, you can still become the monarch,” Liana said.

“I will do this. I will.” Mephilia cupped Liana’s face. ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) “I will let you stand with me in front of everyone, not like now, avoiding everything, not needing to rely on fake death to ensure your safety.”

“I know. I’ve been waiting too. I’ve been working hard for this as well,” Liana said.

Mephilia gently kissed Liana’s lips. “I will work harder too. Since the elf race has mentioned the demon race, then my sacred magic might come in handy.”

“Mm.” Liana nodded. Mephilia was indeed key to dealing with the demon race. Of course, when it came to dealing with the demons, the holy sword was also indispensable.

The holy sword, which originally left no clues, suddenly appeared in Sephirena’s illusion. The holy sword now was likely in the Elf Forest.

“Wait for another half year. I’ll find a way to get you into Ibett Magic Academy,” Mephilia said.

Liana had the same idea. Although she didn’t really need guidance from others now, the library at academy was a place everyone in this world dreamed of going to.

It housed hundreds or even thousands of years of magic, all human treasures.

Moreover, Ibett Magic Academy didn’t belong to any region. Lisat Kingdom could be renamed, but academy wouldn’t change.

Because of the existence of guardian statues, no one would dare to attack this place of education.

The so-called teachers now existed only to conveniently teach the students and maintain the place.

They had no authority over Ibett Magic Academy. Only those recognized by it could enter the library to study and read.

So, to avoid too many people and not waste time, there was the matter of the examination.

They didn’t care how strong your power was; they only valued talent. Without talent, you couldn’t enter the library.

“I’ve heard that the exams at Ibett Magic Academy are very difficult and extremely strict. Isn’t this abuse of power?” Liana asked.

“I’m finding a genius beautiful girl student for the academy. They should thank me,” Mephilia said.

“Ge... genius beautiful girl?”

“Is there a problem?” Mephilia looked at Liana, feeling these words matched Liana perfectly. “You’ve changed the way this world thinks, and you’re also very cute.”

“That’s a bit exaggerated.” Liana just wanted to live quietly and ordinarily by herself.

But this time, Mephilia had directly pushed her to the top, letting others know that the revolutionizing of magic was her doing.

Liana sighed. It seemed that no matter what, she would be in the spotlight in the future.

After all, she couldn’t remain “dead” forever. Resurrection would definitely become a focal point.

Then there was the fact that she was the one standing by Mephilia’s side, and now add the matter of inventing spellcrafting.

Liana felt troubled just thinking about being targeted by so many people.

“Mephilia, you really know how to give me trouble.” Liana’s head was already starting to ache.

“What’s wrong?” Although Mephilia didn’t know what Liana was thinking, she could roughly guess. “This is what you deserve. Just accept it.”

“Forget it. I don’t even know when I’ll be resurrected. It doesn’t matter. Maybe by then, they’ll have forgotten about this,” Liana couldn’t say much at this point.

“Speaking of which, Princess Avira invited me to go to the Elf Forest together. You must have seen that, right?” Mephilia asked.

“I did see it, but I didn’t hear anything.” Liana shrugged.

How could the things Princess Avira and Mephilia talked about be spread? Even Princess Avira’s appearance here was a bit strange. After all, the elvenkind shouldn’t show such intimacy towards human forces.

Luska was still watching. They weren’t fools and should have noticed that the elves was likely to take some action soon.

“What did Princess Avira say to you?” Liana was curious.

“She expressed regret about your death. She thought you were an excellent person, and that I was an excellent heir, so it was a pity to give up like this.”

“Was she trying to persuade you to change your mind, not to give up?” Liana asked.

“Half and half, I guess. I don’t think she’s that kind-hearted though. She’s mostly thinking about her own people,” Mephilia explained.

“She’s worried that the next King of Lisat won’t be easy to talk to. If it’s like the previous King of Darriss, even the elf race would have trouble.

“After all, Princess Avira has to be responsible for the entire elvenkind. The reason she cooperated with us before was largely because I was the heir, and also because of you, Liana.”

“So that means they might also abandon the alliance?” Liana said.

“Mm, we’re just in the initial stages in the first place. Although we said we could learn magic from each other, we haven’t started yet. So, terminating the alliance at this point wouldn’t result in much loss. At most, it would just make our side have some opinions about the Elf Forest.

“But this doesn’t matter much to the Elf Forest that has already abandoned the alliance, especially since we were the ones who caused them trouble first. We’re not in the right.”

Mephilia explained Lisat Kingdom’s current predicament to Liana. It could be said to be very awkward.

“This is troublesome.” Liana wouldn’t blame Mephilia for anything. Moreover, Mephilia wasn’t wrong. Deceiving herself and pretending not to see would only torment herself.

And if it went on for a long time, it would be counterproductive. She might even do some extreme things.

“That’s for the King of Lisat to consider. What I need to consider now is just improving myself. Only by improving myself can I have a certain say and protect you,” Mephilia said.

“Thank you, but I’m very safe now. Don’t worry about me.”

“Mm.” Mephilia’s gaze suddenly turned to Liana’s hand. “The bracelet is gone.”

On Liana’s right hand, there was still the ring given by Mephilia, but the bracelet given by Princess Avira at Liana’s wrist was gone.

However, Liana didn’t need to worry about this point. She had already prepared an explanation.

“Although I’ve ‘died,’ I can’t stay in this place forever, right? I need to go out for a walk occasionally. And that bracelet, many people have seen it, and some can tell it’s an elf bracelet. It’s rarely worn by humans. If I took it out, even if I disguised myself, I would definitely be suspected,” Liana said.

“So you’ve hidden it away?”

“I gave it to Sephirena. After all, it’s also an item from her sister. Consider it returning to its rightful owner?” Liana said.

Mephilia would never go ask Sephirena. Even if she did ask, Sephirena would probably cover for her, so there was no need to worry about this being revealed.

“Did you tell her this was Princess Avira’s bracelet?”

“I didn’t need to tell her. The first time she saw this bracelet, she already noticed,” Liana said.

“I see. It seems she still cares about her sister,” Mephilia suddenly said.

“Did Princess Avira tell you something?”

“Mm.” Mephilia nodded, then told Liana what Princess Avira had said.

A very clumsy older sister.

But in her eyes, Mephilia was indeed similar to the former Sephirena.

“Did Sephirena hear these words too?” Liana asked.

“Have you seen Sephirena?”

“Mm, her expression was different from before. I feel like she heard it,” Liana nodded.

“I’m not very clear on the specifics, and I’m not in a position to ask her too much. If you want to know, probably only you can ask her now, Liana.” Mephilia had also noticed this point. Sephirena had probably heard, but obviously, this wasn’t something she could address.

“Okay.” Liana nodded.

“Be careful, alright?” Mephilia said.

“Careful of what?” Liana didn’t think there was any danger worth being vigilant about in this matter.

“Be careful that she doesn’t fall in love with you and get attached to you. That would give me a headache,” Mephilia said, pouting.
