Liana raised her hand and tapped Loraviel’s head. “Still playing around at a time like this?!”

“So that means it’s okay to play at other times, then?” Loraviel wouldn’t miss any opportunity to tease Liana.

“Pervert!”

Despite her words, Liana giggled at her antics. It was true that people would laugh when they were speechless.

Loraviel didn’t tease her anymore, having successfully distracted her from her first taking of a person’s life. She took out a bottle of carefully prepared water that could replenish Liana’s energy.

She casually put the mouth of the bottle to her own lips, held the water in her mouth, and leaned down towards Liana’s lips.

Liana was only stunned for a second before she accepted Loraviel’s feeding.

When it comes to drinking water, Liana only drinks imported water.

Perhaps because it was carefully prepared by Loraviel, or perhaps because it was imported, but Liana felt that this water was exceptionally sweet and delicious.

“Want more?” Loraviel asked.

“Mm.”

Loraviel repeated the previous action and even took a small bite of Liana’s lip.

“Is this some kind of specially prepared drink?” Liana asked.

“You still want more, right?”

“Mmm...”

“This is just ordinary water. It hasn’t been specially prepared at all. Perhaps you were just too thirsty, Your Highness,” Loraviel would never admit the truth to her.

By telling Her Highness that it was ordinary water, she would think it was because it was imported. Then, when she wanted to drink, the only way would be to import it.

Besides, by saying it was ordinary water, Her Highness would also make a cute expression.

“...” Liana covered her own mouth with the back of her hand, her face a little red.

If this is ordinary water, then for me to say it’s delicious! Doesn’t that mean...!

“After a battle, you have to rehydrate properly,” Loraviel said, forcefully prying Liana’s hand away and feeding her again...

“Alright, I’ve had enough to drink,” Liana said, a translucent string left as they separated, a little embarrassed.

“If you want to sleep, then sleep for a while, Your Highness. With me here, you’ll be very safe.” Loraviel knew that Liana would be very tired for a period of time after heavily consuming her mana and would want to sleep.

“I’ll be fine after a little rest. I can hold on a bit longer until we get back.” Liana didn’t want to fall asleep in this place. Besides, once she fell asleep, she didn’t know how long she would sleep for.

“Don’t worry.” Loraviel placed her hand over Liana’s eyes. “Just sleep well, Your Highness. I will take you back safely.”

“It’s not that I don’t trust you.”

“Besides Princess Mephilia, no one will see you sleeping. I would never let others appreciate such a treasure,” Loraviel added.

“That’s not the reason either...”

“I also won’t touch your body while you are asleep, Your Highness,” Loraviel said.

“You’ve definitely done that plenty of times, haven’t you?!”

“Mm.” Loraviel nodded.

“...” She nodded without any hesitation!

“If you’re tired, then get some good rest. Don’t force yourself, Your Highness.”

“Alright.” Drowsiness kept washing over her. Liana couldn’t hold on any longer. She lay down on Loraviel’s lap and fell asleep.

Loraviel picked Liana up and walked towards the outside of the cave.

“Lady Minoga, I’ll have to trouble you for a bit,” Loraviel said.

The spider silk at the entrance was quickly cleared away, and a carriage was parked in front.

“Thank you for your hard work,” Minoga said. “Leave the rest to me and Princess Mephilia.”

“I’m counting on you.” Loraviel got into the carriage with Liana in her arms.

Loraviel herself didn’t feel very tired. She had only done what she was supposed to do.

Loraviel carried Liana into the room.

After seeing Mephilia, she took the initiative to hand Liana over.

She had already collected enough interest for today.

“Thank you for your hard work.” Mephilia did not take Liana.

Loraviel’s performance was indeed not bad. She had not chosen to mindlessly protect Liana.

If she had interfered in the matter with Cain at that time, then Mephilia would have really had a problem with her. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

But this did not mean that Mephilia had already approved of Loraviel.

This alone was not enough.

“I still have some things to attend to. If Liana is asleep, it will be a long time before she wakes up. You should be able to take good care of her, right?” Mephilia tapped the tip of her shoe. Now that the news of Liana had spread, she also had to go out and explain some things.

“Of course.”

After Mephilia left, Loraviel carried Liana to her own room.

Liana didn’t have her own room. Ever since she had arrived, she had basically been living with Mephilia.

And Loraviel, in turn, would secretly move Princess Liana to her own room when Princess Mephilia wasn’t around.

Loraviel undid Liana’s clothes one button at a time.

That perfect body was displayed before her.

To say she didn’t have any crooked thoughts would be impossible.

But Loraviel still held back. It was better to be a little more honest at a time like this. Besides, she had already promised Her Highness.

Loraviel’s hands were placed on the outside of Liana’s thighs, grabbing the white silk stockings she was wearing today.

There was some dust on them, left over from the battle just now. And Her Highness’s stockings were not in good shape either, with some holes here and there.

They’re ruined. They have to be dealt with.

That was what Loraviel thought, and then she turned around and threw Liana’s worn white silk stockings into her own closet.

To ensure their safety, she even used magic to protect them.

After doing all this, Loraviel changed Liana into a clean set of pajamas and placed her on her own bed.

Loraviel stood in front of the mirror, looking at her own clothes.

“Tsk, what a troublesome creature.” Loraviel’s maid outfit could be said to have been completely ruined.

If it were the past, she could still patch it up and make do.

But now, she was Princess Liana’s maid. She could absolutely not do anything that would damage Her Highness’s reputation.

So the clothes she wore naturally had to be very neat and presentable.

Loraviel went into the bathroom. Cold water fell on her snow-white skin.

Her Highness Liana had reappeared before the world.

And Crown Prince Hodwen had already left the Lisat Kingdom. He was no longer a great threat to Her Highness, at least for the time being.

But Loraviel knew very well that the person who posed the greatest threat to Her Highness was definitely not the crown prince, but the Second Prince Oester.

It was he who had orchestrated all of this, who had made Her Highness bear all this infamy.

Loraviel had also investigated a lot about the second prince during this time.

His relationship with Princess Nimeris of the Elf Forest seemed to be quite good now.

And he had been staying in the Elf Forest most of the time recently, which made Loraviel be on her guard.

After finishing her bath, Loraviel also slipped into the quilt and hugged Liana.

When Liana opened her eyes, she saw the familiar ceiling and knew that this was Loraviel’s room.

After all, she usually slept in Mephilia’s room, so she could tell at a glance.

But she could feel that the person holding her hand now was not Loraviel. The feel was different, it should be Mephilia.

“Liana, are you awake?” Sure enough, Liana’s guess was correct. Mephilia’s gentle voice came over.

“How long did I sleep?” Liana asked.

“About a day,” Mephilia replied.

“I slept for that long...” Liana noticed that she was sleeping in Loraviel’s room, and the clothes on her body were not the original set.

On top of that, Mephilia was here. A few bad images had already appeared in her mind.

However, Liana still trusted Loraviel. She certainly wouldn’t be that thirsty at a time like this.

If she really wanted to, she just had to ask. There was no need to struggle snuggle her in her sleep... though it was hard to say if Loraviel had that kind of fetish...

But no matter what, Liana could only trust her now.

Play dumb! Just ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) play dumb at a time like this!

Besides, Liana really didn’t know anything.

“How did I end up in Loraviel’s room?” Liana asked.

“When Loraviel brought you back, I had some things to attend to and it wasn’t convenient to take care of you, so I had her take you to rest,” Mephilia said.

So it was with Mephilia’s permission. Liana breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have known how to explain.

“What could be more important than me?” Liana teased in a lighthearted tone.

“Isn’t it all because of you, you little sleepyhead? Who knows how long you’ll sleep after using up your mana. And you caused such a big commotion. Of course I had to step up and say something at a time like this,” Mephilia said, pinching Liana’s cheek irritably. “What else could be more important than you, my little ancestor?1小祖宗 (xiǎo zǔzong), a term of exasperated but deep affection for someone who is precious but also a handful, like a spoiled child or a lover. Besides, weren’t you the one who told me to trust Loraviel? Are you not satisfied now that I really do?”

“Ehehe, just kidding. Of course I know my place in your heart, because you have the same place in mine. If we switched places, and Loraviel were Minoga, I would also be very much at ease,” Liana said.

“About your battle earlier, I didn’t expect you to be so skilled. And you didn’t even use your own inherent magic at all.” Mephilia toyed with Liana’s fingers.

She knew very well how powerful Liana’s strange bullets were, although most of the power didn’t belong to Liana herself.

Mephilia herself had also prepared some bullets with sacred magic for Liana, which were fatal to the demon race.

“Of course I have to hold something back,” Liana said mysteriously.
