“Let’s just maintain this relationship for now. If it really comes to that, then we should also help the Minagado Territory,” Liana said with a helpless sigh. So troublesome.

“Mm, I understand. I will pass it on to the Lord of Minagado,” Erinna said.

Liana leaned back in her chair. “What about the Laurent Territory? All territories have made a move. Don’t tell me he hasn’t made a sound? Speaking of which, I still have a little bit of a relationship with him.”

If she had transmigrated a little later, she might have been taken down by that bastard Karen.

Fortunately, she had arrived in time. She had even publicly humiliated him. He surely held a grudge against her.

On top of that, the Laurent Territory had always been very unhappy with the Venus Dukedom. It was a bit strange that there was no movement now.

“They haven’t made any moves for the time being. This is also a rather strange point. The Laurent Territory can be considered a relatively aggressive one, and they also care a lot about their own status. But at this time, they are surprisingly calm,” Erinna said.

“I don’t know what they’re up to. It’s getting more and more troublesome.” The demon race was already annoying enough. The matter of the Luska Kingdom did not require her to worry about it, but the internal affairs of the Lisat Kingdom had to be handled by her.

“For now, let’s take it one step at a time. The current temporary peace feels even more oppressive,” Erinna said.

Indeed, in the current situation, it would be better if there were some movement. That way, there would be a solution. But with such peace, they didn’t even know in which direction to defend.

“Mm, that’s all we can do for now.” Liana didn’t have any good ideas at the moment, until her gaze fell on Loraviel.

As an assassin, Loraviel could investigate many things. But the places she would have to go now were too dangerous. Liana was also a little worried.

“What is it, Princess Liana?” Loraviel could roughly guess what she wanted her to do.

“It’s nothing.” Liana shook her head. This matter of gathering intelligence... she wanted to hand it over to someone else, it would be too dangerous for Loraviel to go.

“...” But Liana couldn’t seem to find anyone suitable right now. Someone with this ability, who could also guarantee that there would be absolutely no leaks, seemed to be only Loraviel.

“I see.” Loraviel had a thoughtful look. Since Her Highness is unwilling to say it in front of so many people, I’ll ask her in private later.

After chatting about some matters concerning the Venus Dukedom, the group left.

Liana returned to her room and lay down on her soft, large bed. Loraviel placed Liana’s legs on her own lap and let her rest her head on the pillow.

“Your Highness, was there something you wanted me to do just now?” Loraviel asked, getting straight to the point.

“...No,” Liana said. She still thought this was too risky and didn’t want Loraviel to take the risk.

But she was stopped by Loraviel’s fingers pinching her lips. “If you lie again, I’ll have to teach you a harsh lesson. Didn’t we agree that there would be nothing to hide between us? Besides, if I can help you, I would be very happy.

“I came to your side precisely for this reason. If I have to stand by your side, watching you fall into distress, and yet I am unable to extend a hand to help you, I would be very sad.

Loraviel looked at her gently. “I guess, is it that you think this task is a little too dangerous and don’t want me to go?”

Liana didn’t speak, but her expression had already betrayed her.

“Your Highness, you should also be able to see that I am very strong now. My teacher can be said to be the most powerful person in the Lisat Kingdom today. As her student, I am confident that I will not be detected by others,” Loraviel said.

“Even by a Judge?” Liana looked at her, wanting to read something from her eyes.

“Even by a Judge.” Loraviel had long been able to guess what Liana would ask, so she had prepared herself in her heart.

“You’re lying to me.” Although Loraviel’s eyes did not waver at all, Liana could still feel that she was lying.

“No, I am not, Your Highness.” Loraviel shook her head. She was very confident that she had not shown any flaws just now. It was just Her Highness being stubborn.

“This matter, I just have to ask Minoga and Kasla and I’ll know. It’s useless for you to lie, Loraviel,” Liana said.

“Did you think I wouldn’t know if you didn’t say, Your Highness?” Loraviel pinched her cheek. “You’ve already mentioned the matter of the Judges, so the scope has narrowed a lot.

“I guess you want me to investigate the other territories? To see if they are doing anything?” The moment Loraviel said it, she knew she was right.

Liana didn’t speak, just averted her gaze a little.

“Your Highness.” Loraviel changed her previous relaxed tone and spoke to Liana in a very serious one.

“I came to your side to help you. This point, I have already said many times. I also hope you can believe me. I am no longer the weak me of the past. As long as the other party has no sense of precaution, they basically won’t be able to detect my presence.” A Judge could indeed discover her.

But a Judge didn’t ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) know everyone in their territory. It was easy for Loraviel to disguise herself as someone else.

Besides, it wasn’t as if Judges would appear everywhere. If all the people who knew about this lived in one room and were all protected by Judges, then she would just have to count herself unlucky.

“I have worked so hard for so long, not to be a flower vase1花瓶 (huāpíng), someone who is pretty but useless.. The reason I worked so hard was to be able to protect you, to be able to help you.”

“I know your resolve, and I know you are very strong. But don’t be in a hurry for now. Because you are a very important person to me,” Liana said.

“At a time like this, what are you still saying!” Loraviel felt that all her previous words had been in vain. Although Liana saying these things made her very happy, now was not the time for this.

“No, you’ve misunderstood.” Liana looked at her very seriously. “It’s precisely because you are very important to me and are always by my side that if you go to investigate others, you will disappear from my side, and even from the Ibett Magic Academy. At that time, someone will surely become suspicious.”

“...I can’t refute that.” What Liana said was also the truth.

The current Liana could be said to be the focus of everyone’s attention. And a Loraviel would often appear by her side. She would basically always be there, at most disappearing for a short period of time.

And if she were to investigate these things, she wouldn’t be able to come back for a while. Over time, they would surely notice.

“So, there’s no need to be in such a hurry right now. Just take it slow,” Liana said, thinking for a moment. “Or perhaps?”

“Or what?”

“What about that teacher of yours?” Liana asked. “Isn’t she the most powerful person in the Lisat Kingdom right now? And she’s your teacher. As an assassin, investigating these things should be simple, right? Besides, this is also for the good of the kingdom.”

Liana suddenly had an idea about Orleya. It wouldn’t matter even if she were discovered.

Loraviel considered for a while and finally nodded. “That is also a way.”

“...It really is possible.” Liana had originally just said it casually and didn’t hold much hope. But from Loraviel’s expression, it seemed she could really do it.

“Let’s just forget it. Let’s not trouble others. I was just saying it randomly.” Liana didn’t want to owe that person a favor. It felt like it would be very troublesome.

“It won’t be any trouble. Teacher Orleya is very willing to help you, Your Highness,” Loraviel said.

“Huh? Why?”

“Because you recommended such an outstanding student to her, so that her skills would not be lost,” Loraviel said with a laugh.

She knew her teacher’s strange temper. If she took the initiative to tell Liana about this, she would be disliked by her.

So she came up with a reasonably good reason.

“Girl, you...” Liana was so angry she laughed. “But it’s still better not to trouble her. I personally dislike being involved with her. A strange person must be very troublesome to get along with. If it weren’t for your relationship, I probably wouldn’t have had any interaction with her in my life.”

“I thought you had a change of opinion of her after the last meeting.” Loraviel sighed. Teacher Orleya, what should I do?

You are thoroughly disliked by your own granddaughter.

“I did have a change of opinion, but I still dislike her a little. From her perspective, what she did might not have been wrong. But from my perspective, it was a very annoying thing,” Liana said.

“Yes, I understand,” Loraviel nodded.

However, she would still discuss one thing with Teacher Orleya. After all, this matter not only concerned the Venus Dukedom and the Lisat Kingdom, but also their family ties.

With this as a bargaining chip for conversation, when the two of them acknowledged each other later, there wouldn’t be such a big gap. At least it wouldn’t be like now, where they thoroughly disliked each other.

“It’s already afternoon. It seems I can only go see Miss Anna tomorrow.” Liana looked out the window. The dim yellow sunset was already hanging over the mountains.

“Mm. But there’s no need to be in such a hurry. If you still have things to do, you can go in a few days.” Loraviel was also very excited now. This was taking Her Highness back to see her mother!

She had happily told her mother a lot about Her Highness before. Her mother must have already guessed her feelings for her!

Now, Loraviel was even more nervous than Liana!

“You have a point.” Liana’s mood was also very nervous now. What should I say? What should I do? Should I tell Miss Anna about my relationship with Loraviel?!

What will happen after I say it?!
