“Then next time, can I use other magic?” Loraviel asked with some anticipation.

“Get lost!” How could this girl push her luck like this!

Loraviel rubbed Liana’s cute little face. To be caught by Her Highness is really too good.

The two of them chatted a lot in the carriage. After all, after living with Princess Mephilia, they rarely had this kind of opportunity.

However, as they chatted, Liana fell asleep on Loraviel’s lap.

“Her Highness is still like this. She sits in the carriage, chats for a bit, and then falls asleep,” Loraviel said, poking her cheek.

“No matter how long or how many times I look at Her Highness’s sleeping face, I never get tired of it,” she said, looking at Liana dotingly.

However, as if she had heard what Loraviel had said, Liana didn’t want to let her look anymore. She turned her head and lay on her side, facing Loraviel.

“Her Highness is such a big meanie,” Loraviel said, a little frustrated.

“...” Because she was facing Loraviel, the air she exhaled brushed against her lower abdomen and...

It made Loraviel’s heart itch a little.

“Her Highness really knows how to tease and torture people,” she sighed helplessly.

After an unknown amount of time, Loraviel poked Liana’s cheek. “Your Highness, we’ve arrived.”

“Mmm...” Liana opened her mouth and bit Loraviel’s finger, suckling on it bit by bit.

“What are you dreaming of...” This made Loraviel a little itchy. Then, she suddenly thought of something. Likes to bite? Likes to suck?

Then...

Loraviel undid the clothes on her upper body...

In Liana’s perspective, with her eyes closed, she felt a lollipop earlier in her mouth. After a few licks, it suddenly disappeared.

But what entered her mouth again was something very soft, similar to a marshmallow. And it was fragrant and sweet, with a unique... milky fragrance?

She opened her eyes and saw a scene of pure white before her. Snow-white and soft...

She immediately realized what this was. In her shock, she subconsciously bit down. This bite would be very painful.

Even Loraviel let out a cry of surprise, tears in the corners of her eyes. It seemed to really hurt. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Liana had originally wanted to scold Loraviel a little, but because of her own sudden bite, she didn’t want to say anything anymore.

After all, Loraviel looked so pitiful right now. And because Liana had used too much force, there was a clear bite mark and a slight redness and swelling from being bitten.

“What are you doing!” Liana’s face was a little red. She knew very well what had just happened.

“Nothing...” Loraviel put her clothes back on. “Hiss...”

A sharp pain came from where her clothes touched her body. Her Highness’ bite was really hard.

And because she had been caught in the act, her expression was also a little awkward.

“You don’t do this often, do you...” Liana asked.

“No! I just suddenly wanted to do it today,” Loraviel said.

“You could have just told me... to this extent, I can still accept it,” Liana said.

“No, Your Highness, you don’t understand. This kind of thing is best done sneakily!” Loraviel said very seriously.

Liana raised her hand and tapped lightly on Loraviel’s chest.

“Then you’ll have to be prepared to be bitten by me again next time.” Seeing that Loraviel was in so much pain that tears were about to come out, Liana also smiled helplessly. What an idiot.

“Let’s treat it a little. Otherwise, when we go out, people will think there’s some kind of pervert by my side,” Liana said.

“Oh.” Loraviel then exposed her fullness in front of Liana like that.

“...Could you be a little more careful!” This girl is definitely doing this on purpose. Although we’ve been in intimate contact many times, to be so blunt like this, I’ll still be shy, okay!

After applying some medicine, Loraviel felt the pain had eased a lot. “It’s fine now. Shall we go out, Your Highness?”

“Mm.” Liana nodded. The moment she stepped out of the carriage, she saw the familiar buildings.

By the time they arrived at Venus Dukedom, it was already night. The magic stones on the walls emitted a dim yellow light.

Apart from the dukedom, the surroundings were basically pitch black.

“Are you... Her Highness Liana?” A person dressed as a maid heard the noise at the gate, came out, and stood before her.

The current Venus Dukedom was much livelier than before, thanks to Erinna’s efforts.

However, Liana had no impression of the maid before her.

“Ah, and Miss Loraviel. So you knew about Her Highness from the beginning?” The maid asked.

“Er... yes and no?” Loraviel’s expression was a little subtle. Then, she introduced the other party to her.

“This is Miss Hirule. When I first came here, she was one of the people who taught me maid etiquette. She was very good and very patient with me,” Loraviel said.

“I see.” Liana nodded. “Thank you for your help with Loraviel during this time.”

“No, no, no! It’s what I should do.” Hirule was startled. “I was just doing what I was supposed to do!”

She had only heard about Liana. And she had learned of the news that she was still alive rather late. “Her Highness really is still alive...”

“The one and only. It’s just that the current me is probably a little unfamiliar to you. Would it be better if I were like before?” Liana said with a sweet smile.

“No, no, no, no need.” Hirule shook her head. “Princess Liana from before is better left in the past! No, wait, if it were the earlier Your Highness, that would still be okay!”

Hirule looked quite cute as she pondered this seriously.

“Don’t worry. Just think of that period as my rebellious phase. My rebellious phase has passed now. Things like that won’t happen again,” Liana said with a laugh.

“Yes, yes!” Hirule nodded repeatedly. “Do I need to go and inform Duchess Erinna?”

“Erinna? Is she back in the Venus Dukedom?” Loraviel had thought she was still at the Ibett Magic Academy.

“Yes, she just came back this morning,” Hirale said.

Just got back this morning?

“It’s so late now. She should be resting, right?” Liana asked.

Hirule shook her head. “The Duchess is not resting. She is still in her room, organizing some files and things.”

Even with Sybil here to help her, she’s still unwilling to take a good rest?

“I understand. But there’s no need to inform her. I’ll go and find her in a little while,” Liana said.

“Keep it a secret, then?” Hirule got the hint.

“Yes.” Liana had Loraviel go back to her room first to tidy up.

As for herself, she went alone to the duke’s office. She wanted to see what this Erinna girl was doing instead of getting some proper rest.

Is Sybil even helping her at all? Is she properly helping her manage her schedule? Otherwise, the long-term accumulation of fatigue might leave irreversible side effects.

Liana arrived in front of the room.

Erinna’s somewhat tired voice came from beyond the door, accompanied by Sybil’s.

“Your Grace, according to our agreed-upon time, you should go and rest now,” Sybil said.

“I’m almost done. I’ll go and rest ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) after I finish this,” Erinna said.

“You’ve already said that five times. And an hour has already passed. You must go and rest right now,” Sybil said.

“I’m really almost done.”

“If you continue like this, I will have to tell Her Highness Liana.” Sybil knew that no matter what she said, it was not as useful as bringing Liana into it.

Sure enough, after hearing her name, Erinna fell silent for a short time and finally made a concession. “I know. This is really the last one. I’ll go and rest after I finish this. If I don’t, you can tell Sister Liana at any time.”

“Sigh,” Sybil sighed. “I understand. However, next time I will not remind you, but will directly inform Her Highness.”

“Mm.”

And at this moment, Liana knocked on the door.

“Who is it?”

“Your Grace, there is a matter that requires your attention. I wonder if you have time?” Liana asked, lowering her voice.

“...” If it were any other time, Erinna would have let her in. But she had just finished talking with Sybil. She certainly couldn’t deal with it today.

“Come and find me tomorrow,” Erinna said.

That’s more like it. If you had extended your work time again, I would have had to say a thing or two to you. Although, I still have to say a thing or two to you now.

“Yes, I understand. However, this matter is a bit urgent. I hope Your Grace can solve it sooner rather than later,” Liana continued.

“Leave it to me. I can also handle some things. If your help is needed, I can also have Naibert come forward,” Sybil said.

Right now, Erinna had to rest. She had to persist. A special situation today would just lead to another tomorrow.

If it were a truly urgent matter, Sybil would tell her.

“Let’s leave it at that for now,” Erinna said.

“Alright.” Liana placed her hand on the door and then pushed it hard. “Didn’t you promise to rest on time? Why are you still busy at this hour, Erinna?”

“Sister Liana?” After seeing her, Erinna was clearly stunned for a moment. The things in her hand all fell to the ground.
