Then she was pushed back by Liana again. Liana rolled her eyes at Loraviel and said irritably, “Look at how impatient you are.”

“Teacher is very good to me. And only after getting along with her did I understand why she conducts such strict assessments. She is indeed really good to me. If you have the chance, you should go see her too, Your Highness,” Loraviel said.

“I know.” Even if Loraviel didn’t say it, Liana would go to see this so-called teacher sooner or later.

She was one of the top fighting powers in the Lisat Kingdom and might be useful in the future. Besides, it was definitely not a good idea to maintain an adversarial relationship with such a person.

“Then shall I contact Teacher Orleya now? Would Your Highness meet with her in a few days?” Loraviel said, unable to wait. After all, Orleya also had a mission and would be leaving the Lisat Kingdom in a few days.

“Let’s not be hasty, alright?” Although Liana wanted to meet, it didn’t have to be so soon.

More than that, what Liana cared about was, “Loraviel, how did you recognize me?”

Even Princess Nimeris couldn’t see through her elf disguise. Why did Loraviel recognize her at a glance?

Could it be that her disguise was actually very poor? That Princess Nimeris had known all along that she wasn’t an elf and was just playing along with her clumsy acting?

Is she playing the long game?

The more Liana thought about it, the more scared she became.

“Ah, I couldn’t tell at all that Your Highness was human. Your mana aura and appearance give the impression of an elf. The reason I recognized you was because not long ago, when you were talking with the King of Lisat, Teacher Orleya took me to have a look. At that time, I saw you with your disguise off, which is how I was certain it was you,” Loraviel said.

“Hiss...” Liana had thought the other party was formidable, but not this formidable.

To be qualified to secretly listen in on their conversation, her status... Liana would believe it if you told her it was higher than the King of Lisat’s.

It seems I’ll have to at least make peace with her on the surface. I’ll just secretly curse her as an old hag behind her back.

“After things have calmed down a bit, you can contact her,” Liana said.

“Okay.” Loraviel nodded.

She came before Liana and gently lifted her foot.

She took off the ricebox (not)1饭盒 (fànhé) “ricebox”, meant to joke as if the shoe is a delectable ricebox, quickly corrected with 不是 (búshì) “not”.– took off the high-heeled shoe. “Your Highness is not very used to wearing this kind of shoe.”

There were some red marks on Liana’s foot from the pressure of dancing just now.

“Does it hurt?” An ointment appeared in Loraviel’s hand.

“A little. If it wasn’t an important occasion today, I would have been too lazy to wear them. If only I were Liana, then I could just wear sandals and no one would have an opinion.” Liana cupped her face in her hands, watching Loraviel apply the medicine for her.

“I can protect you now, Your Highness.” Loraviel kept her head down, seriously applying the medicine.

The cool feeling was quite comfortable.

Liana still didn’t know exactly what Loraviel’s strength was. She knew that as a heroine, Loraviel would be very strong with her speed magic buffs, but you still had to have time to grow. It had only been about half a year, she should still be a little lacking.

“Mm, I know. I have plans for that too. I’m not prepared to keep hiding myself forever. But when I reveal myself is up to them,” Liana said. “Tomorrow, I’ll discuss it with Mephilia and prepare to move in with her.”

After Liana said this, she could clearly feel that Loraviel’s hand had squeezed a little harder.

“Of course, I’ll definitely bring you along too. I won’t leave you out. You are my favorite little maid, after all,” Liana said quickly.

Liana felt the strength in Loraviel’s hand return to normal and breathed a sigh of relief.

But the upcoming school life was going to be a bit troublesome. She’ll have to balance the bowl of water2端水 (duān shuǐ), popular slang for trying to treat multiple parties (friends, lovers, fandoms) equally without showing favoritism....

And there was an even more fatal problem that hadn’t been solved yet.

“Your matter... I’ll do my best to find a good opportunity to explain it clearly to Mephilia...” Liana felt like her head was about to explode.

How could this matter be resolved properly? It was true that Mephilia was very good to her, but this wasn’t something that could be solved just by being “good.”

Loraviel also said very considerately, “Don’t rush this matter. In any case, I can already stay by your ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) side openly as your maid. It’s not like I can only watch from a distance. So, it’s fine to take it slow.”

“Loraviel...” Liana was very moved. If Loraviel were a little more behaved right now, Liana would be even more moved.

Loraviel had indeed been applying medicine at first, but after she finished, she didn’t stop.

Instead, she continued to play with Liana’s foot, her fingers moving back and forth between Liana’s toes, feeling their warmth and softness. She pried open the gap between the big toe and used her finger to rub in between.

“Alright! Stop playing!” Liana suddenly pulled her foot back and then stepped on Loraviel’s head.

“White.” From this angle, all Loraviel had to do was look up to see it.

“Hey!” Liana added another kick, then pressed down her skirt with her hands. “Don’t look where you’re not supposed to!”

Given their current relationship, if Loraviel really wanted to look, Liana wouldn’t refuse if she asked.

But Her Highness didn’t understand. This was what made it so delicious.

A little glimpse of scenery accidentally revealed was just the best!

“Pervert!” Liana cursed.

Liana stepping on Loraviel unlocked something strange in her, but now was not a good time to try it.

Liana patted the bed. Loraviel immediately understood what she meant.

Loraviel also took off her shoes, sat on the bed, and let Liana lie down with her head on her lap.

The familiar touch, and the... half-familiar ceiling had returned.

“When did you get back?” Liana asked.

“About a week ago, I think. Teacher Orleya specifically told me to rest well, so that I could see you in my best condition.”

“I suppose she has some conscience left.” Liana turned on her side, feeling the tranquility of the moment.

Loraviel was playing with Liana’s hair. The two of them, with a tacit understanding, did not speak, but quietly enjoyed the moment.

Liana felt that the time was about right. She had learned almost everything she wanted to know. Loraviel could make her move. But Loraviel was still not making a move. She had been so proactive just now. Liana couldn’t possibly bring it up herself, that would make her seem too horny!

Loraviel, on the other hand, was playing with Her Highness’ hair. It wasn’t just her hair she wanted to play with, but Her Highness had already rejected her twice just now. She was a bit too embarrassed to bring it up again.

The two of them were stuck in an awkward stalemate.

Although Liana couldn’t be proactive, she could seduce Loraviel.

This is just for Loraviel’s sake. It’s definitely not because I...

Liana suddenly changed directions, from facing outwards to now facing Loraviel’s lower abdomen.

Then she began to blow air on her, intentionally or not.

She even deliberately undid the button at her collar. With Liana’s movement, all Loraviel had to do was lower her head slightly to see her white undergarments.

If Liana hadn’t been wary of the person outside, if she had known it was Loraviel, she might have just worn her victory lingerie3决胜内衣 (juéshèng nèiyī), a Japanese loan concept for “sexy lingerie” worn for a special, important night., or just not worn anything at all.

“...” Loraviel quickly realized that Her Highness Liana was seducing her.

A smart maid doesn’t need to ask. Loraviel’s hand followed Liana’s collar.

And climbed directly onto the peak.

Just as Loraviel had thought, Liana did not resist much, and even cooperated a little to make it more convenient for her.

“Your Highness Liana...”

“Do as you wish,” Liana said in a small voice.

“Your Highness, would you like to try the wonders of speed magic?” Loraviel bit Liana’s earlobe.

“...Let’s not.” Liana felt a lingering fear. Whether it was slowing down her perception, only for it all to rush back into her body at once, or Loraviel’s speed increasing, it was all a bit too much for her to handle.

“Then can I make a small request?” Loraviel asked.

“What request?” Liana’s main goal was to satisfy her. As long as it wasn’t too outrageous, she would agree.

“Your Highness Liana, could you, could you go back to how you were before?” Loraviel said.

“How I was before?” This confused Liana. What was she like before?

“That is, when we first met,” Loraviel said.

“....” Liana’s green eyes stared at Loraviel. “What are you talking about?” 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Liana would rather doubt her own ears than what Loraviel had just said.

“That is, can Your Highness treat me the same way you did when we first met?” This time, Loraviel was detailed enough.

“...I was right to call you that. You really are a pervert.” Liana hadn’t expected Loraviel to have this kind of fetish. This was too strange, wasn’t it?

“Is it not allowed?” Loraviel asked. “Isn’t Your Highness the best at acting?”

“...” If it were any other time, Liana would probably have refused (actually, she wouldn’t have).

But today was the day Loraviel returned, and she had taken the initiative to bring it up, to make a request. Liana hesitated again and again, but finally nodded.

Liana took a deep breath and looked at Loraviel with as cold a gaze as possible.

“Get off my bed. Is this a place a maid like you can be?” Liana said coldly.

“I... I’m sorry, Your Highness.” Loraviel quickly knelt before Liana.

“...” What do I do next?

Liana crossed her legs, looked at her own foot, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of her mouth. “You like feet, don’t you? Now, it’s right in front of you. A cute little puppy, what should you do? I don’t need to say more, do I?”

“I understand, Your Highness.” As if holding a treasure, Loraviel gently lifted Liana’s foot.

“This is a reward from me. You should accept it with gratitude.” Liana still didn’t know what was about to happen.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Liana suddenly felt a soft touch on the top of her foot.

Loraviel... she did it too!

“Wait a minute! That’s not food!” Liana said, flustered.

“That’s not something Her Highness Liana would say at our first meeting, is it,” Loraviel reminded.

“...” Liana saw that Loraviel seemed to be enjoying it.

And she herself had done something similar.

“...” Forget it. As long as she’s happy.

“Well done, my cute little puppy. Lift your head. This is your reward.” Liana pinched the hem of her skirt, letting Loraviel see the white treasure.

“...” This is too much of a foul, Your Highness. How could I possibly hold back? How could I continue acting with you?

Loraviel directly pounced on Liana, pinning her down.

“As a servant, to do such a thing to your master is a very outrageous act.” Liana still thought Loraviel was acting.

“Isn’t this what Your Highness has always wanted me to do? Always wanted me to offer my body proactively?” Loraviel said. “I’m sorry, Your Highness, I probably can’t be gentle.”

Wait!

Liana felt something was wrong. Loraviel’s breathing had become very heavy.

“Um...”

Loraviel’s fingers gently tapped on Liana’s lips.

Liana felt a heat spread through her entire body. Loraviel had definitely done something strange just now.

“I can use all the toxins in this world, which also includes...” The last two words, Loraviel whispered in her ear.

Even if Liana hadn’t heard the last two words clearly, her body told her what they were. With just a gentle breath, Liana’s body trembled slightly.

Wait, are we really going this far on our first meeting back?

Liana felt her consciousness begin to blur. Next, her instincts would take over her body.

Liana felt so hot, and began to slowly undo her clothes.

“Your Highness Liana,” Loraviel’s extremely seductive voice came over.

Loraviel’s somewhat cold hands made Liana regain some of her consciousness, but after seeing it was Loraviel, she cast that consciousness aside again.

“Just follow your own rhythm. I’ll leave it to you.” Liana wanted to lie on the bed, but a certain consciousness was driving her to hug Loraviel.
