Liana seemed to see a slight protrusion and curiously reached out to touch it.

In an instant, Liana felt a strange pleasure rushing to her brain. Her body went limp, and she collapsed onto the sofa.

Had Liana discovered a new continent?

Knock knock knock!

There were knocks at the door.

‘No Liana! What are you doing?!”

Liana hurriedly put on her clothes, used magic to dry the sofa, and then said, “What is it?”

“Miss elf, I’ve prepared lunch for you,” Naibert’s voice came through.

“Come in.” It wasn’t that Liana was putting on airs; she truly didn’t want to walk anymore.

“Alright.” Naibert opened the door and brought in a bowl of salad.

“I learned from a young lady before that miss elf isn’t very accustomed to our human food. You prefer salads, fruits, and such things, so I specially prepared these for you. I hope you like them,” Naibert said.

Liana felt somewhat annoyed because she knew which “young lady” Naibert was referring to. Was this some kind of boomerang?

“Fine, I understand,” Liana said coldly.

“Then I won’t disturb miss elf any further.” Naibert left the room, closing the door behind her.

Liana used a fork to bring the salad to her mouth. The taste was acceptable, but Liana had been hungry for a whole day, and these things were clearly not enough.

“Do elves usually eat just these things? Don’t they get hungry? And eating this kind of food for a long time, wouldn’t they get tired of it?” Liana was curious, but she wasn’t an elf, so it was normal that she didn’t understand their tastes.

What else could she do? These were the only things available to eat now. She’d make do with them to fill her stomach a bit, and when Mephilia arrived later, she’d have her take her out for something delicious.

Mephilia didn’t keep Liana waiting long. About half an hour later, Liana could hear some strange sounds from outside.

Fortunately, Liana had the foresight to choose a position near the window initially. She just needed to turn her head slightly to see what was happening outside, without having to walk.

“A lot of people have come.” Liana saw several familiar faces.

“Those two have completely become enemies now.” Liana almost laughed seeing Second Prince Oester and Crown Prince Hodwen glaring at each other.

“Mephilia, weren’t you going to take us to see... the accident site?” Crown Prince Hodwen asked.

The words “demon race” couldn’t be spoken lightly, especially from the mouths of those with power and status. It would create an atmosphere of unease for others.

“Aren’t I bringing a friend of mine along? It’s on the way. Brother Hodwen, you really can’t calm down, can you?” Mephilia said.

“This is an extremely important matter. How can we not be anxious?” Hodwen countered.

“You also know this is an extremely important matter. Do you think I don’t care? Even though I’m no longer the heir, Lisat Kingdom is still my home. How could I not care about such a thing happening?” Mephilia looked at Hodwen.

“I’m no longer the heir, Brother Hodwen. There’s no need for you to make unnecessary attacks on me anymore. It’s meaningless.”

“I’m not targeting you. It’s just that this matter is too important, and there are so many people waiting for you now. I don’t want you to waste everyone’s time,” Hodwen said.

“Brother Hodwen, is it possible that you’re the one wasting everyone’s time? I know you hold a grudge against me, but to behave like this at such a critical moment is truly laughable.” Mephilia waved her hand, no longer paying attention to what Hodwen was saying, and walked into Venus Manor.

“Princess, may I ask what this is about?” Erinna had arrived early. She looked at the nobles who had suddenly visited with some confusion.

Mephilia glanced at Erinna. Erinna’s expression remained cold, no different from before.

This made Mephilia wonder if Liana had even met with Erinna.

More importantly, for some reason, Mephilia felt that there was a hint of hostility in the way Erinna looked at her. She didn’t know if it was just her imagination.

“Nothing, just some matters that need to be handled,” Mephilia couldn’t easily tell others about the threat of demons. “May I ask where miss elf is?”

“The miss elf?” Erinna pointed in a direction. “She’s resting in the room.”

“I see.” Although Mephilia was somewhat confused, these confusions would likely be resolved when she met Liana.

Mephilia knocked on the door. “Miss elf, it’s Mephilia.”

“...” Liana should be happy that Mephilia had arrived, but now...

Liana stood up, carefully taking steps toward the door.

“Miss elf, sorry to keep you waiting.” At this moment, Mephilia still needed to act a bit.

“Mm.” Liana nodded.

“Shall we go?”

“Alright.” Liana walked very slowly, and her posture was somewhat strange.

“?” Mephilia was puzzled. “Miss elf, are you uncomfortable somewhere?”

“No, no.” How could Liana possibly speak about this?

She really wanted to take some painkillers, which would help her endure. Now, it seemed she could only bear it.

Loraviel’s observation diary wasn’t wrong; Princess Liana’s endurance was indeed very strong.

Liana took a step, gritting her teeth to endure.

“Are you really alright...” Mephilia could see that Liana’s body was somewhat stiff.

“I’m fine, and don’t we have more important matters to attend to?” Liana said.

“That’s true, but if miss elf really has any discomfort, remember to tell me,” Mephilia was still concerned.

“Mm.”

Liana soon appeared before everyone.

Only then did they realize that Mephilia hadn’t been wasting their time; she had brought an elf to accompany them.

Elves understood the demon race far better than humans.

Liana frowned. “I dislike crowded places.”

“I’m sorry, miss elf. Please bear with it a little,” Mephilia said.

“Fine, since Princess Mephilia is my first friend in the human world, I’ll endure it a bit.” Even under the mask, Liana’s tone was clearly dissatisfied.

Was she treating them like garbage? But there was no help for it, the other party was an elf, so they could only endure.

“Let’s go.”

“Mm.”

They soon arrived at the place where the demon had appeared.

“Did a demon really appear here? It looks no different from other places,” Oester asked.

“...” Under the mask, Liana bit her lip, her forehead sweating. It hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts!!!

“Miss elf?” Hodwen noticed that Liana hasn’t responded for a long time and was somewhat puzzled. {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} “I’ve been curious since earlier, why does miss elf wear a mask? It’s as if you’re hiding from something.”

“This is why I find you all so detestable. Keep those dark thoughts to yourself, human,” Liana said coldly. “Such ignorant fools, truly laughable.”

“Hodwen, I’ve never seen someone as shameless as you. Keep those dark little thoughts to yourself. Is power struggle all that’s in your mind?” Mephilia also mercilessly scolded Hodwen.

“You seem very partial to this elf.” Because Princess Avira had previously chosen Mephilia, Hodwen had some small grievances against elvenkind.

“She’s my friend. Should I favor you instead, the bastard who killed Liana?” Mephilia stopped pretending. “I called you brother earlier out of respect for Father’s face, but now, there’s completely no need for that anymore.”

Hodwen’s expression turned ugly. He never expected Mephilia to say such things, after all, they were both from the royal family, and they should at least show some courtesy to each other.

For example, his relationship with Oester could be described as one where one of them must die, but even so, they were outwardly cordial, not as direct as Mephilia was now.

Huh? Liana hadn’t expected Mephilia to explode at Hodwen directly.

“Princess, please don’t be too angry,” Liana reached out and pulled Mephilia’s arm.

“I’m just responsible for informing you about the demons. Whether you believe it or not is your business,” Mephilia said coldly.

The atmosphere at the scene was filled with tension.

But at this moment, Oester spoke up. “Come on, Sister Mephilia wouldn’t use such an excuse to deceive us. Brother Hodwen, don’t always be so full of lantern oil. Calm down a bit and investigate properly, wouldn’t that reveal the truth? Moreover, we have the miss elf’s help, don’t we? As the mortal enemy of the demon race, she naturally has some methods, right?”

Liana hadn’t expected Oester to step up as a mediator now.

“Unfortunately, the demon beast has been completely eliminated, thoroughly erased by Princess Mephilia’s sacred magic. So, no matter how much you investigate now, there won’t be any results,” Liana said.

“That’s a pity. We can only remain vigilant then,” Oester shrugged.

“The demons are much smarter than you imagine.” Liana crouched down, and under her mask, she sucked in another cold breath.

[Spirit of Life]

Liana used elf magic, and vibrant flowers grew everywhere except in the area where the demon had died.

“In the places where they die, the soil is eroded. For as long as half a year, no plants will grow,” Liana said.

“This doesn’t prove anything,” Hodwen said.

Indeed, this proved nothing. Land where nothing could grow and plant magic; these weren’t rare things.

“Indeed, but what about this?” Liana raised her hand, and a small spirit landed on it. “This is actually quite common, right? Elves being close to humans isn’t strange either.”

Liana just needed to prove that she was an elf.

“She is indeed an elf, and a demon beast did appear here.” At this moment, the King of Lisat appeared.
