Liana looked at the young lady before her with some vigilance.

They had met for the first time in the library today, but she seemed to have set her sights on her, actively inviting her to dance at the ball, and now following her to her room.

“Are you following me?” Liana frowned. Because it was the start of the school year, there were many students coming and going.

It was difficult for Minoga to judge if someone was following them. Besides, Liana didn’t think anyone could evade Minoga’s perception.

This person before her... a coincidence? Liana didn’t think so. Although there was no evidence to prove the other party’s purpose, Liana’s sixth sense still told her that she was the target.

“It’s just a coincidence. My lodging is further to the right. I was just on my way back and happened to run into Miss Jacaranda, so I thought I’d come and see you,” Loraviel said.

“...I’m a little tired and want to rest. Whatever it is, let’s talk tomorrow.” Liana was usually a bit of a nice person, but the other party had to be a normal person for that to apply.

This was clearly someone who was following her. How could Liana possibly feel at ease? Not to mention, it looked as if the other party wanted to come into her room.

Liana had no desire to let a stranger set foot in her personal space.

“It won’t take up too much of your time,” Loraviel said.

“It seems Princess Mephilia has raised my expectations. Not everyone is as gentle and considerate as she is,” Liana’s tone grew more impatient.

“Yes, Princess Mephilia is truly an outstanding person. We should all learn from her.” Loraviel had originally wanted to tease Liana a little more.

But she had far underestimated her own longing for Liana.

Right now, she just wanted to pin Liana to the ground, strip off her clothes, and eat her clean.

“Lo...” Loraviel’s lips parted slightly.

Just a single syllable was enough to make Liana freeze on the spot.

“Not... a bad resolve. I’ll give you one minute. Come in,” Liana said, trying her best to keep her tone calm.

If the other party was Loraviel, then everything would make sense. Why she was following her like a pervert, and why Minoga hadn’t noticed her obvious stalking.

It seemed it wasn’t that Minoga hadn’t noticed, but that she had chosen not to say anything after knowing it was Loraviel.

Besides, Loraviel was being trained as an assassin. Disguising herself was the most basic of skills.

But Liana remained cautious. What if this was just someone else testing her?

However, the probability of that was minuscule. At present, only a few people knew about their relationship.

After walking into the room, Loraviel very consciously locked the door.

But when she turned around, a vine was already approaching her. “You can stand right there. If you have something to say, say it. I don’t trust you.”

Until she was completely certain, Liana would not reveal any weakness.

“I’m very happy to see Your Highness being so vigilant.” Loraviel took off her mask, and her red hair turned into the familiar light blue Liana knew.

Her purple eyes looked gently at the girl before her, filled with affection.

The moment Liana saw Loraviel, she almost jumped over to hug her. But now was not the time. She couldn’t be certain yet. An appearance alone could not guarantee that the Loraviel before her was the real Loraviel.

“Who is Her Highness Liana?” Liana said coldly. “If you came to find me just to say these irrelevant things, then you should leave right now.”

Loraviel was unhurried. She reached out to touch Liana’s vine. “Wow, is it really a vine? And I can feel an unusual mana fluctuation. Is this really elf magic?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? I’m an elf. What else would I be using if not elf magic?” Liana said coldly.

“I thought it would be gem magic,” Loraviel said.

“...What gem magic? We elves all use nature magic.” Still not enough.

Magic alone was not enough to prove that the other party was Loraviel.

“Your Highness is being too cautious. But I’m very happy. A cautious Princess like you should not have been in any danger for the past half year or so,” Loraviel said with a laugh.

When Loraviel said this, Liana was more or less certain that the person before her was her beloved maid.

“Then... let’s talk about something only the two of us know, shall we?” Loraviel smiled and took out a book, Princess Liana’s Observation Diary.

“Of course, this is just a book. It’s possible I picked it up from somewhere, so it can’t be used as evidence. But Your Highness, our first time was in the bathroom, when you forcefully...” Before Loraviel could finish speaking, she felt a soft touch on her lips.

“Idiot, why did you deliberately trick me?”

Liana had initiated the kiss.

Liana had once doubted herself. Was this too rash? In her daily life, she would inadvertently think of Loraviel. Certain objects, certain events, would make her think of Loraviel involuntarily.

She had indeed been moved by Loraviel, but was it really love?

But now, her racing heart could tell her with one hundred percent certainty, this was love.

Loraviel was completely frozen on the spot. She had never imagined that Her Highness Liana would be so proactive.

“I missed you so much.”

Loraviel’s heart was fiercely moved. Although she knew very well that Her Highness would not forget her, she had never thought it would be like this. With Her Highness taking the initiative to hug her, and to say she missed her.

Loraviel hugged Liana tightly. “I also missed you very much, Your Highness Liana.”

All this time of high-intensity training was for this moment. “I now have the ability to protect you, Your Highness. So, can I stay by your side? I want to be your maid for the rest of my life.”

“Of course you can. I’ve been waiting for you. I had gotten used to the days with you. After you left, it took me a long time to adjust to that life.

“When I opened my eyes, there was no one to wake me up, no one to prepare my toiletries, and no one to prepare delicious food for me. Of course, this isn’t to say I’m lazy and don’t want to prepare these things myself!” Liana suddenly emphasized.

“I know.”

“You are truly perfect, Loraviel, just like Mephilia. I don’t need to say anything. Just a look from my eyes, or a movement from me, and you both can know what I’m thinking and help me directly,” Liana said.

“This is only what a maid should do.”

“No, there was another very important point just now,” Liana said suddenly.

“What?” Loraviel was a little confused.

“Although I am very honored to be trusted by you so much, I don’t want you to be my maid forever,” Liana said. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

“...” Loraviel’s heart began to race. She didn’t need to worry that Her Highness would say anything strange. The excitement was entirely because what Her Highness was about to say might be too much for her heart to handle.

“A maid cannot be insolent to her master. And what we did just now was clearly not something a maid should do. That is... something lovers should do.” Liana captured Loraviel’s lips once more.

Loraviel’s mind went blank. As an assassin, she had to remain calm, but she really couldn’t right now.

“Why aren’t you speaking?” Liana took a step back, her hands behind her back, and smiled faintly.

“Hey? Loraviel?! What’s wrong with you!” Liana stepped forward and took her hand, her tone full of worry.

But in the next second, Loraviel hugged Liana tightly. “I am truly... too happy, Your Highness Liana.”

“Idiot, don’t scare me like that.” Liana breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed Loraviel had frozen on the spot because she was too excited. What an idiot.

“That’s because Your Highness said something so heart-pounding.” A tremor entered Loraviel’s voice. She was truly happy right now.

The two of them snuggled for a while. Liana also asked many things about Loraviel. Although she had already heard about these things from Minoga, she still wanted to hear them from Loraviel herself. Besides, Liana could guarantee that Loraviel would definitely speak of them lightly, not revealing what she had truly experienced.

“It was nothing, just very ordinary training. A little tougher than Lady Oliphia’s training before, that’s all. It was really ordinary,” Loraviel said with great ease.

Then she got her cheek pinched by Liana. “You’re lying to me. If you lie to me again, I’ll kick you off the bed. You’re sleeping on the floor tonight,” Liana threatened fiercely.

“Ah?” Loraviel was stunned at first, then hugged Liana excitedly, rubbing her own cheek against hers. “I had originally just planned to tell you my identity and then go back. I didn’t expect Your Highness to invite me to stay the night. I’m so happy.

“I will definitely warm the bed well. How about... we do it right now!” Loraviel was already thinking of starting a round.

But she got her face pushed away by Liana. Liana’s pretty face was slightly red. “Is that the main point! I heard from Minoga that you suffered a lot at the hands of that old monster. When we met before, hadn’t you lost a lot of weight!”

Then she added in a small voice, “Just wait a bit, it’s not like I won’t give it to you...”

Loraviel froze at first, holding back her inner joy, then she realized the title Her Highness had just used. “Er... old monster?”

“Yeah. The things she did at the beginning, plus her inhumane training methods, were really too much, weren’t they?”

“Your Highness Liana really remembers such small things so clearly.”

“This isn’t a small thing!” Liana said very seriously. “That kind of crazy test completely disregarded your safety!”

“Alright...” On this point, Loraviel couldn’t help Orleya. “But the training was what I requested. Because I wanted to return to your side sooner, I asked Teacher to double my training.”

When she heard the word “Teacher,” Liana’s anger also subsided a little. No matter what, she was Loraviel’s teacher and had indeed taught her many things.

“For your sake, I won’t pursue this matter. As long as you’re alright. You don’t have any scars left on your body, do you?” Liana remembered the scar on Loraviel’s chest from before.

Although Loraviel had removed it later, Liana was still a little worried. After all, she had been dealing with toxins for a long time.
