“You’ve had ideas about me since that long ago...” Liana didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Erinna turned on her side and looked at Liana. “It wasn’t that I had those ideas so early on. The moment I truly realized it was probably when you suddenly changed your personality. It was only then that I realized what my feelings for you were. But by that time, it was already too late... I could only bury this thought forever.”

Liana did remember that Erinna had come looking for her back then, but because of some circumstances, she had not seen her.

“Now, with you lying by my side, it feels like a dream,” Erinna said.

Liana reached out and pinched her cheek. “Now, do you still feel like you’re in a dream?”

Erinna really liked this intimate feeling. It was just that she couldn’t take it a step further. This feeling made her a little unwilling.

But she still had a chance, even if it was very slim. Her sister had, in the end, given her this chance.

“Regarding the matters of the Venus Dukedom, you can relax a little. Boldly hand them over to others to handle. There’s no need to worry about anything. I’ve given up, and Cain is dead. You are now the sole heir of the Venus Dukedom,” Liana said.

“Then did you deal with Cain because of this, Sister Liana?” Erinna asked.

“That’s part of the reason. Although he himself posed no threat, there was no way around it. If they wanted to pull you down, they could only make a move through him. In order to save myself these unnecessary troubles, and also to take revenge for some of the things he had done, I just took care of him along the way,” Liana said.

“Then I really have to thank you, Sister Liana. As time goes on, those people will become more and more anxious. But now, they lack a fulcrum and can’t have any effect on me,” Erinna said.

“I know they certainly won’t give up this position easily. You are also fully on your guard because of this, which is why you handle those things yourself. But there’s absolutely no need for that. With me here, they won’t dare to do anything. Even if they really do, I will stop them. The things you have to deal with now are already much more than what Father had to deal with back then,” Liana said.

Erinna’s workload had far exceeded the standard. She didn’t even have any time to rest for herself.

“I know.”

“No matter what happens, you still have me behind you. So, there’s absolutely no need to put too much pressure on yourself. You’ve already done a very good job. Don’t force yourself like you did today. You really will get sick from overwork,” Liana said. “And you also don’t want to cause too much trouble for Miss Sybil, do you?”

“I know, Sister Liana.” Since she had said so, it was time for her to relax a little. She had been pushing herself too hard recently.

Because of the demon race, Erinna wanted to help Liana, so she had done a lot of investigation and research.

The moment anything strange happened in the Venus Dukedom, she would investigate it at the first opportunity. If it was the demons, perhaps she could provide some help to Liana.

“Don’t worry. I am the first heir in name. And now, I have enough of a say even in the Lisat Kingdom. As long as those fellows in the Venus Dukedom don’t have something wrong with their brains, they basically won’t make a move on you. Right now, what you need to pay attention to is just the Luska Kingdom next door,” Liana said.

Calculating the time, the matter of the Luska Kingdom should be coming to an end soon. And because of her appearance and changes, perhaps this time would be brought forward a little?

“Mm, I understand. I will pay more attention,” Erinna said.

“Regarding the other lords, let’s have a good talk tomorrow, shall we? What you need to do now is close your eyes and go to sleep.” Liana had almost forgotten what her purpose in coming here was, to make Erinna go to sleep on time.

“Is it time to sleep?” Erinna’s tone was a little sad.

“If it’s just chatting, I can accompany you anytime. It’s just the two of us. So, you don’t have to look so sad,” Liana said.

“Then will there still be this kind of opportunity in the future? The opportunity to lie together and chat...” Erinna asked.

“That’s something you have to fight for yourself, isn’t it? I’ve already given you a chance. If you succeed... won’t you have this kind of opportunity?” Liana said.

“I will work even harder.” That’s right. Sister Liana has already given me a chance. If I succeed, then lying in bed might not be as simple as just chatting. We could have an even more intimate relationship...

Erinna was a little expectant.

“So, don’t think so much right now. Close your eyes and get some good rest,” Liana said.

“Mm.”

Erinna closed her eyes. Because Liana was by her side, she was very relaxed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

But not long after she fell asleep, she suddenly woke up to a small body hugging her.

She opened her eyes and saw that Liana was hugging her, her cute little head resting on her chest.

But unfortunately, because she was wearing regular clothes, she couldn’t see Liana’s skin.

“Usually... when you sleep with Loraviel, do you also hug her, Sister Liana?” Erinna murmured to herself.

This had always been a habit of Liana’s. It was just that they had been apart for too long, and she had almost forgotten.

Liana’s actions today reminded her of this. Then, as the one who warmed her bed, did Loraviel enjoy this reward every day?

Erinna didn’t know, but she had sufficient reason to suspect that Loraviel had some improper reason for being by her sister’s side.

But Erinna didn’t have the mind to consider these things now.

“You were the one who hugged me, Sister Liana. It has nothing to do with me.” Erinna also hugged her back. Such a fragrant and soft little body, it really makes one want to eat her up in one bite.

Liana opened her eyes and saw the familiar ceiling. “Loraviel...”

“Sister Liana.” But to her surprise, the one who answered ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ her was Erinna. “This is my room. Loraviel is not here.”

Liana immediately realized that she had come to Erinna’s room yesterday!

Why had she mistaken it? It was entirely because the layout of Erinna’s room was identical to her own. You couldn’t blame her!

“You and Loraviel have a really good relationship, Sister Liana,” Erinna said.

“Mm, I suppose so. Because I’ve done many things to wrong her in the past, and she has also proven her loyalty to me with her actions.” Liana admitted this very generously. Being coy would only make the other party more suspicious.

“I had considered making Loraviel my guardian knight before, but she refused. She believes she is more suited to be my maid. And as a maid, her ability to handle matters is very outstanding, and she takes care of my daily life in every aspect. So I agreed to her request,” Liana said.

“I see. I’m a little envious of her.”

Liana shrugged. “It can be very troublesome to be by my side.”

“As long as it’s for you, Sister Liana, then it’s not a troublesome matter.”

Liana smiled and didn’t say anything. She looked at her clothes. They were still not much different from yesterday, just with a few more wrinkles.

This was a problem with sleeping in regular clothes. Besides that, the scent of Erinna on her body seemed to have become stronger, but that was also normal. They had slept together. It would be strange if there wasn’t a scent.

Liana got up from the bed. “Shall we prepare a little and then go out? The matters between the lords need to be handled properly.”

“Mm.” Erinna nodded and watched her leave, her gaze a little reluctant.

After leaving Erinna’s room, Liana went straight to her own.

Loraviel had long since woken up and had prepared breakfast in the room. “I thought Your Highness wouldn’t be coming back for breakfast.”

“Morn...” Liana was about to greet her, but then she remembered yesterday’s events. “Hmph!”

She sat down at the dining table and ignored her.

“Your Highness, please don’t be angry anymore. I was wrong,” Loraviel apologized very sincerely.

But Liana was unmoved, quietly eating her breakfast alone. However, from her expression, it seemed she still liked the breakfast very much.

“Your Highness.” Loraviel came up behind her and squeezed her shoulders.

Liana reached out and slapped her hand away.

“...I understand.” Loraviel took a step back, stood behind her, and lowered her head, her expression very sad.

“...” Seeing her expression, Liana softened a little. She knew very well that Loraviel would not do anything bad to her. She had no need to show any authority as the mistress of the house.

Because when they were outside, Loraviel knew this even better than she did. When they were outside, she would always, always put her face, first and foremost.

It was only in private that Loraviel would be a little mischievous. This also represented that their relationship was very close for her to act like this.

Was it excessive? Not really.

By doing this, would she hurt Loraviel?

“Ahem.” Liana coughed lightly. “Doing this is just torturing the both of us.”
