Liana wasn’t sure what Sephirena had seen in that illusion that could have caused such a change in her perspective.

But at least Sephirena wasn’t constantly thinking in strange directions anymore, which was the best news for Liana.

Going forward, there probably wouldn’t be much interaction between her and Sephirena.

“When you want to return is up to you. I won’t stop you. As for when I’ll go to the elf forest, I need to discuss it with Mephilia,” Liana said.

“Mm.” Sephirena nodded. “However, I won’t be returning anytime soon.”

“Oh? Do you still have things to do?”

“I know that Princess Liana is very safe in this place, but correspondingly, because no one can know about this, Princess Liana won’t tell anyone. So, if you want to learn magic, you can only do so through Princess Mephilia, but this would cause Princess Mephilia a lot of trouble,” Sephirena said. “Although Princess Mephilia definitely wouldn’t consider this troublesome, surely Princess Liana doesn’t want to cause Princess Mephilia any problems, right?”

“...” Liana’s thoughts had been completely guessed by Sephirena.

But these weren’t major # Nоvеlight # problems. After all, she wasn’t a novice anymore and had her own understanding of magic.

Moreover, Mephilia had prepared so many books for her—too many to finish, absolutely impossible to finish.

As long as Mephilia occasionally came by or occasionally answered her questions through the crystal ball, there wouldn’t be any significant issues.

“So, you want to be my teacher?” Although Liana didn’t care too much about magic, she was very curious about elven magic.

“I wouldn’t call it being a teacher. Consider it repayment to Princess Liana. I don’t like owing others,” Sephirena said.

“You don’t like owing others?” Liana was the same way, so she felt a connection to Sephirena’s words.

Especially in this half-baked state of relations, people with a sense of responsibility would be very concerned if they owed something to others.

“So when do you plan to return?” Liana asked.

“I’m not in a hurry. Even though this has happened, Sister Avira definitely won’t make a decision right away. She’ll certainly observe for a while before truly deciding what to do next.”

After all, this was an important matter between two countries. It couldn’t be decided lightly, especially something that could destroy the relationship between the two countries.

“Mm.”

“When will that maid return?” Sephirena asked.

“Loraviel? She told me she would be back soon. She won’t lie to me,” Liana smiled.

“Princess Liana really trusts your maid.”

“Trust is mutual.” Liana smiled, thinking of all the things Loraviel had done for her. How could she not trust this adorable little maid?

Sephirena looked at Liana enviously without saying anything.

“It’s about time. I should go back now.” Liana didn’t want to upset Mephilia. Besides, they had already said most of what needed to be said. Sephirena had made her decision, and Liana needed to discuss the elvenkind alliance matter with Mephilia.

“Mm.” Sephirena nodded.

Then the two stared at each other.

“What’s wrong, Princess Liana?” Sephirena asked in confusion.

What’s wrong? What could be wrong! You need to let me down!

“Were you only responsible for bringing me up, not for taking me down?” Liana said.

“Princess Liana is indeed afraid of heights.”

“How could that be possible? I can already use some simple flight magic. How could I be afraid of heights? What are you joking about?” Liana was still being stubborn.

“Is that so?” Sephirena raised her hand, and the tree beneath Liana suddenly disappeared.

“Hey!” Liana fell straight from the height.

[Gravity, Float.]

Liana stopped in mid-air with her spell, her heart racing. “Hey! What are you trying to do?!”

“Princess Liana, there’s no need to be afraid at all, is there?” Sephirena had grabbed Liana’s collar at some point. It seemed that even if Liana hadn’t used magic, Sephirena would have caught her safely. Her safety wasn’t in question.

“What does this have to do with whether I’m afraid or not? You suddenly doing this would scare anyone, wouldn’t it?”

“Princess Liana, you had ample reaction time to use magic to ensure your safety. You must be very clear that you were safe. Why are you still afraid of heights?” Sephirena didn’t quite understand.

“I don’t know how to explain it to you!” This was an instinctive fear of the body, not so simple to explain.

However, after this incident, Liana’s symptoms had lessened slightly. After all, before it was just theoretical, but this time she had actually experienced it, albeit forcibly.

“It’s alright, Princess Liana. I am your guardian knight. I will protect your safety and help you overcome your difficulties,” Sephirena said.

“At least you said something nice.” Liana looked at Sephirena. “Don’t spend too much effort on me. Just ensure my safety during this period and teach me some magic. You don’t owe me that much.”

“Mm.”

Sephirena watched as Liana left.

Liana returned to her bedroom and found Mephilia leaning on the bed reading a book.

“I’m not late, am I?” Liana looked at the time. She wasn’t over the time limit; in fact, she was half an hour early.

“Seeing how worried you look, I’m not going to eat you.” Mephilia laughed.

Really won’t eat me? Liana remained doubtful. You weren’t like this in bed.

Liana went and moved closer, sitting beside Mephilia.

“How is it? Today I’m warming the bed for you.” Mephilia looked at Liana with a smile. “Is there any reward?”

“What reward do you want?” Liana asked.

Mephilia closed her eyes. What she wanted, even without saying it, Liana knew.

Liana gently kissed Mephilia’s lips, then said somewhat dissatisfied, “I’ve always been doing this, but I don’t seem to have received any rewards.”

“Then, shall I make up for it all at once now?” Mephilia turned to her side and directly pressed Liana beneath her.
