“Alright, I’ll listen to you.” Although Mephilia didn’t know what Liana wanted to do, what she needed to do was simply to believe in her and provide her with help.

“For now, shall we go back first?” Mephilia still didn’t know what Liana and Princess Avira had just talked about, nor did she know what had happened after Liana had gone in. How did she end up bringing Princess Sephirena back with her?

“Mm.” Liana nodded.

The group returned to their temporary residence in the Elf Forest.

Liana sat on the sofa, with Mephilia beside her, while Sephirena sat opposite them.

After preparing tea and snacks for everyone, Loraviel came and stood quietly behind Liana.

“What happened just now?” Mephilia asked.

“Let me explain, Your Highness Liana,” Sephirena said.

“Okay.” Liana nodded. She herself didn’t know where to begin. It was for the best that Sephirena was willing to speak for her.

Sephirena didn’t waste any time. She directly took out the holy sword and placed it on the table. “This is the holy sword. But as Her Highness said, it is very weak right now and cannot exert its true power.”

The sword was dim and without luster, as if it were just an ordinary sword. But one could faintly detect that it had a sacred magic similar to Mephilia’s.

“The holy sword?” Mephilia did indeed feel a familiar power.

“Mephilia, why don’t you give it a try?” Liana suggested. Since Mephilia has sacred magic, maybe she can also use it?

“Me?” Mephilia did indeed want to try.

She placed her hand on it. The moment she gripped the holy sword, she felt an unprecedented sense of peace.

The sword’s dim blade also brightened slightly.

“So you can use it too?” Liana murmured.

It would be strange if Mephilia, who possesses sacred magic, couldn’t use the holy sword, right?

“Perhaps? But it doesn’t seem to have any special reaction,” Mephilia said.

“To have this kind of reaction now is already very good. Many elves tried just now, but not a single one could make the holy sword change. you’re the first one besides Sephirena,” Liana said.

“I see.” Although Mephilia was quite interested in the sword, she didn’t want it. She was just thinking that if she could also use it, she could share more of Liana’s burdens.

“Is it because of the discovery of the holy sword that the Elf Forest was sealed off?” Mephilia asked.

“That’s not the problem. It’s just because Sephirena’s actions were a bit too wild,” Liana said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

“Wild?”

“Mm.” Next, Liana explained the general course of events to Mephilia.

This made Mephilia frown. Wasn’t Princess Sephirena being a bit too rash?

She hadn’t thought about the consequences of her actions at all. However, she hadn’t mentioned Liana’s involvement, which was something Mephilia was relatively satisfied with.

If she had dragged Liana into it and harmed her, then Mephilia would have had to hiss.

Although the original plan was to let Sephirena explain, Liana felt it was better for her to explain it herself.

She explained the course of events, what had happened, the specific conflicts, her suspicions, and the problems with Oester.

“So that’s how it was.” Mephilia glanced at Sephirena. She still felt she was very dangerous. Although it was a good quality that she could believe Liana’s words, you should at least consider the consequences, right?

If Liana hadn’t come today, what would you have done?

“Because a lot has happened, and Sephirena is temporarily the keeper of the holy sword, so... er.” Liana was in a difficult position. She knew Mephilia best, so she knew that once she said this, Mephilia would be more or less a little unhappy.

“What is it?” Mephilia also realized that something was a little off with Liana.

“It’s just that... Sephirena has temporarily become my guardian knight. Temporarily,” Liana deliberately emphasized the word “temporarily.”

“Huh?” Mephilia and Loraviel let out a cry of confusion in unison.

Mephilia’s point of confusion was, such a dangerous person is going to be Liana’s guardian knight? What a joke. With such an impulsive personality that doesn’t think things through, becoming her guardian knight would only make her more dangerous.

Loraviel’s point of confusion was, someone is here to steal my job? Although she was a maid, she was also responsible for Her Highness’s safety. To suddenly find a guardian knight? It was impossible to replace her. Her Highness would absolutely not do such a thing.

Then there was only one truth. This elf was an enemy, a person with ill intentions, who was using Her Highness’s good-natured personality to get close to her. There was definitely a purpose!

Why was Loraviel so familiar with this? Because she herself was like that.

“I know this news might be a bit too sudden, but I’ve also said that it’s only temporary. So, don’t make such a big fuss,” Liana said.

“No, no, no, Liana. you already have Loraviel. There’s no need to have too many guards, right?”

“That’s right, Your Highness. you already have me. I will also protect you well.” Loraviel and Mephilia were, for a rare moment, on the same side.

“Besides, Princess Sephirena’s status is truly not ordinary, and she has elven ears, which are very obvious to outsiders. As a qualified guardian knight, you don’t need to be so ostentatious. you need to be a little more low-key and give your master enough of the spotlight,” Mephilia said.

No matter how skilled you are, you must give your master enough face when you are outside. Loraviel knew this very well, so when she was outside, she would subconsciously walk two steps behind Liana. And she wore a maid’s outfit. Anyone could tell who was the mistress and who was the servant.

But Sephirena was different. As an elf, you were destined to attract others’ attention, not to mention you were also an elf princess.

“For an elf princess to become Her Highness Liana’s guardian knight, doesn’t that better illustrate her greatness?” Sephirena retorted.

“That’s true, but to achieve that effect, you have to let everyone know about it. The Elf Forest certainly wouldn’t be willing for you to do such a thing, right? This concerns the face of the elves,” Mephilia said.

She continued, “Forget the Elf Forest. I’m afraid there will be gossip even within the Lisat Kingdom.”

“I have already left the Elf Forest. Apart from Mother Tree of Life, there is nothing here worth my attachment. And becoming Princess Liana’s guardian knight is to protect her, to protect the chosen of the holy sword, and also to better understand the holy sword. This is for the sake of Mother Tree of Life. So I don’t think there is any problem. At the same time, I don’t feel that this is anything shameful,” Sephirena said.

“Left the Elf Forest?”

“Yes. Just like before. Just consider me exiled once again,” Sephirena said dismissively. “I don’t care if everyone knows. Her Highness is a chosen of the holy sword. Is it a shameful thing for an elf princess to become the guardian knight of this sword’s mistress?”

She continued, “Things are different now. Her Highness has the holy sword. It’s no exaggeration to say that she may be the savior of this world. If anyone dares to gossip about her, shouldn’t they be punished?”

What she said also made a lot of sense. No matter what others said, no matter how exaggerated, it could not change the fact that Liana was the chosen of the holy sword.

And now, facing the problem of the demon invasion, the matter of her being the sword’s wielder was enough to shut everyone’s mouth.

Even if there were many people who ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) were dissatisfied with Liana before, what could they do now?

Not to mention, Liana was no longer doing anything bad. Everything she did was beneficial to the Lisat Kingdom. At a time like this, if someone still spoke ill of her, they should indeed be punished a little.

Forget herself, even the King of Lisat would do so.

But...

Mephilia thought in her mind.

If you talk like that, it will add a lot of pressure on Liana. Her current ability is limited. Giving her too much pressure might make her train without regard for her body.

“I know Liana is the chosen one, but she is just Liana. I don’t want you to call her by that title. You can also use the holy sword, and I probably can too. We also have a responsibility.”

Sephirena was stunned for a moment, then she nodded, understanding what Mephilia meant. She really is protecting and loving Her Highness in every aspect.

“Liana is just Liana. She doesn’t need any labels. She doesn’t need the so-called ‘Chosen of the Holy Sword’ label to attract others. I fell in love with Liana because she is Liana. If you only want to be her guardian knight because she is the heroine, then there’s no need. Minoga is more qualified for that position than you,” Mephilia said.

“...” Sephirena was taken aback. Indeed, she had thought too little. She had been too eager to prove herself in front of Her Highness. “I’m sorry. It was my lack of consideration. I still have so much to learn.”

“Um...” Now, Liana was a little embarrassed. But Mephilia had indeed spoken her mind. Liana also thought that Sephirena had made this decision because she could wield the holy sword.
