A period of time passed.

Life had been relatively peaceful. Usually, she would go level up by doing some tasks, and then participate in the demon simulations.

Her level had increased a little. She was now level two with 300 experience points, with 700 more needed for the next level.

The required experience had suddenly quintupled. She hoped that the subsequent levels would be additive rather than multiplicative, otherwise Liana didn’t know how long she would have to do tasks before she could read the books.

During this period, Liana also participated in two demon simulations. They were not of the same exaggerated intensity as Mephilia’s. Just like before, she passed them with ease.

Because Liana was often seen with Mephilia, many people now knew that she was living with her.

Inevitably, some rumors began to spread, such as why Princess Mephilia was so close to an elf. Had she found a new lover? After all, no matter how good their relationship was, they couldn’t possibly live together.

Only a small number of people suspected that this elf was Liana. Basically, only those related to Oester and Hodwen would think in this direction.

Recently, the number of elves coming to the Ibett Magic Academy had also increased significantly. Most of them had come to see the demon simulation after hearing about it.

The academy had also undergone some changes. It was no longer as strict as before, and the rule of only being able to join once a year was gone.

As long as you could survive the monthly demon simulation, you were qualified to stay at the academy.

Thus, the number of people at the academy had increased a lot recently, and it had become a bit chaotic. But this was also an opportunity, there was now a task to maintain order, which was a good way to level up.

It was just that right now, there were still many people who didn’t have a concrete understanding of the demon race and didn’t take it to heart. Besides, if they died in the illusion, they died. They had an indifferent attitude.

But Liana had clearly seen that those who had died in the illusion, while indeed still alive, were in a very poor state. Even after so much time had passed, they had not fully recovered.

Moreover, after that, many people had gone straight back home. No one knew what would happen to them afterward, or if they were still living healthily.

This illusion simulation would definitely have a certain impact on the body.

But there was no better way now. The risk of long-term side-effects was better than suddenly encountering the demon race and not knowing how to face them.

If only everyone had this awareness. Liana could clearly feel that ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ some people were targeting her again.

This alias probably wouldn’t last much longer. But it was enough. It had already bought Liana and the others a great deal of time.

“Princess Liana, Princess Mephilia.” Loraviel poured a cup of tea for both Liana and Mephilia.

They were currently in the library, and Liana had also read a large number of magic books during this time.

Liana took a gentle sip. It was to her liking.

“There are more and more people,” Liana said, looking out the window.

“It’s basically been completely opened up. Facing the threat of the demon race, some changes have to be made.” The arrival of new people also meant that some people would leave.

“Do you think people from the Luska Kingdom have snuck in?” Liana asked.

“It’s not impossible.” At the mention of the Luska Kingdom, Mephilia’s expression changed slightly. “I really don’t know what that barbaric kingdom is thinking. The demon race is about to reawaken, and they still can’t calm down and focus on the biggest trouble together.”

Recently, the frequency of magical beast attacks on people had also increased. After all, the current time was very close to the start of the main story.

Some magical beasts also showed traces of the demon race, and their aggression had become stronger.

But in front of mages who knew the weaknesses of the demonkind, they were still not much of a threat.

This was a shortcut to leveling up the library pass, subjugating magical beasts.

But the places where they appeared were generally outside the borders of the Lisat Kingdom. In addition to the beasts, one also had to guard against attacks from the Luska Kingdom.

The people of that kingdom were all lunatics. They took pride in slaughtering the demons and also the people of the Lisat Kingdom.

The more you killed, the higher your status. It could be considered another kind of leveling up.

“It’s about time. Mephilia, I have to go,” Liana said, standing up.

“...Mm. Be careful on the road.” Mephilia couldn’t accompany Liana because of some matters with her family.

“Don’t worry. It’s not the first time I’ve gone out. Not to mention, I have Loraviel protecting me. She’s very strong, you know,” Liana said.

Mephilia glanced at Loraviel and then nodded. She had witnessed Loraviel’s strength a few times, and in those few times, Loraviel had always seemed to be at ease.

Moreover, Mephilia couldn’t see through Loraviel at all. She gave off a very fragile, yet very mysterious feeling. Perhaps this was the foundation of being an assassin.

They had also gone through a demon simulation together, and she had seen Loraviel protect Liana.

But this was not enough. This was very basic and could not get Mephilia’s approval.

“You have to protect Liana well.”

“Rest assured, Your Highness.” Loraviel gave a slight bow. “No matter how many promises are made, they are far less convincing than actual actions. I will bet my life to protect Her Highness Liana.”

Liana kicked Loraviel. “Don’t say such unlucky things. We’re just going to get rid of some magical beasts.”

This was not the first time Liana had accepted this mission. The reward was originally only one hundred experience points, but recently, because of those fellows from the Luska Kingdom, the reward had been increased to two hundred, which was already higher than passing an ordinary demon simulation.

In order to have the right to read sooner, Liana certainly did not want to miss this opportunity.

“Then we’ll be going,” Liana said.

“Mm.”

Liana and Loraviel went outside. Soon, a carriage stopped in front of them.

After getting on, Liana directly lay down with her head on Loraviel’s smooth thighs.

Loraviel dotingly stroked her hair. “You are still the same, Princess Liana. As soon as you get on the carriage, you lie down to sleep.”

“There’s definitely something strange in this carriage,” Liana retorted.

But her words had no convincing power at all. Lying on Loraviel’s lap, her warm breath continuously brushed against her thigh, and the view was really terrible.

She didn’t know if Her Highness was doing it on purpose.

But in the next second, Loraviel entered a state of alert.

“What’s wrong?” Liana also felt that Loraviel had entered a combat state. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

“It seems someone is following us,” Loraviel said.

Since it was Loraviel who said it, then it was certain. But Liana didn’t know why someone would be following her.

Could it be that Oester or Hodwen had noticed?

“Now, what should we do?” Loraviel asked.

Continue, or turn back?

“Can you determine who it is?” Liana asked.

“...Please wait a moment.” Loraviel placed Liana’s small head on a pillow.

“Be careful.”

“Yes.” The moment Loraviel nodded, her figure disappeared from the carriage.

Liana sat up. She had known this day would come. Her relationship with Mephilia was simply too intimate.

The other party was probably trying to catch her when she was alone, when she didn’t have Minoga’s protection.

Liana wasn’t very worried about the danger. As long as a Judge didn’t make a move, she was relatively safe.

And a Judge had absolutely no reason to make a move on her, even if it was an order from Hodwen or Oester.

Her current identity was that of an elf. To make a move on an elf at this time, being exiled would be a light punishment.

Unless... the other party no longer wanted to stay in the Lisat Kingdom.

After about five minutes, Loraviel returned to the carriage without a sound.

“It’s Cain, Your Highness,” Loraviel said.

“Cain, is it?” Liana thought for a moment. This was most likely the work of one of the two heirs.

The purpose was also very simple, to use Cain to test whether she was Liana.

This was also in line with Liana’s thoughts. Since you want to, then I won’t pretend anymore.

“Continue,” Liana said.

“I understand.” Loraviel nodded and continued to follow the original route.

After leaving the border of the Lisat Kingdom and entering that barren wasteland, she felt that suffocating mana.

“Every time I come to this damn place, I feel a wave of discomfort,” Liana said.

“It can’t be helped. I heard the King of Lisat had thought about tidying up the environment here, but the effect was very poor, so in the end, he gave up,” Loraviel said.

“You know more than I do.”

“Being with Teacher Orleya, I’ve learned a thing or two.”

Loraviel’s words made Liana even more curious. Who on earth was this Orleya? She seemed to know a little about all matters, big and small, in the Lisat Kingdom.

But for now, it was better to deal with the things at hand first.

Liana looked straight ahead. There were no obstacles here, it was very open. Only a few corpses of monsters could be seen.

The pitch-black blood evaporated quickly due to the scorching temperature, sticking to the ground and emitting a foul stench.

“Let’s go.” Liana’s target was not here, but in a cave further ahead, where there was a giant spider.

The cave spider was also an old acquaintance of Liana’s. She had once gone to great lengths for this spider’s silk.

Not long after Liana and Loraviel walked down from the carriage and into the cave, another group of people followed them in.
