Forget it. As long as the idiot Loraviel is happy.

“Carry me,” Liana said, stretching out her hands like she was acting spoiled.

Loraviel turned around in front of her, squatted down, and carried her on her back.

“You’re in a good mood today, Your Highness,” she said with a laugh.

“Are you not in a good mood?” Liana lay limply on her back. So tired, don’t want to move.

“Of course I am. But Your Highness, it would be troublesome if we were seen like this,” Loraviel said.

“That’s a problem for you to consider. Besides, with you here, do I still need to worry about that?” Liana’s dangling hand came up and pinched her cheek.

“Of course. Such a weak and shy Princess Liana is a priceless treasure. I would never let others see,” Loraviel said.

“More than that, what we should be considering now is where I’m going to rest in a little while. Should we find an inn?” Liana asked.

“You can just sleep in my room. Anyway, my mother already knows about our relationship. There’s no need to hide anything anymore, right? It’s a very normal thing to sleep together.”

“That’s true...” Liana wasn’t worried about that. It was just that if she came out of Loraviel’s room in the morning and ran into Miss Anna, she didn’t know how awkward it would be.

“Are you still shy at a time like this, Your Highness?”

“Who’s shy?” Liana wanted to teach her a lesson, but she didn’t have much strength right now.

“We’re almost there, Your Highness.” Loraviel didn’t walk fast. She enjoyed this time very much, carrying Princess Liana on her back, talking and laughing along the way. This peaceful time was very reassuring. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

By the time they got home, Miss Anna was already asleep, and the lights in the room were out.

They used sound-insulation magic to avoid disturbing her.

This was the first time Liana had come to Loraviel’s room. Loraviel lit the magic stone on the table, illuminating the room.

Liana looked around with some curiosity. The room was very small, and the layout was very simple: a small, simple bed, and a table. There was nothing else, not even a wardrobe. All the clothes were packed in a box.

“Aren’t you going to decorate it properly? This is our room too, you know,” Liana complained.

She certainly hadn’t mistreated Loraviel. Her salary was still paid as usual. There was no need to make it so shabby.

“Because I was planning to bring my mother to the Venus Estate before, I didn’t decorate much. It would be a waste if I did,” Loraviel said. She was very generous to others, but quite frugal with herself.

“Then you should have at least redecorated Miss Anna’s room, right?” Liana asked.

“Of course! Mainly, I’m always with you, Your Highness, and rarely come back, so I didn’t want to waste it,” she said.

Liana tapped her on the head. “You shouldn’t be saving at a time like this.”

“I know.”

Liana continued to look around the room. There really wasn’t much to see.

Until she saw a candlestick on the table with many unburnt candles inside.

Loraviel noticed her gaze and explained, “Before, our Gran Town was a poor town, and we couldn’t afford to use magic stones for lighting. So when night fell, we would use candles. But because of Your Highness’s help, we were able to improve.”

“I see.” Lighting a room with candlelight?

That seemed like a very distant and unfamiliar word.

In her previous life, she would also use candles to light up during a power outage.

Liana snapped her fingers, extinguishing the magic stone in the room, and then used fire magic to light the candles.

“Your Highness?”

“I suddenly want to experience the life you used to have,” Liana said with a laugh.

The dim yellow firelight shone on her face, warm and cozy.

“What’s there to experience? It’s dark and you can’t see anything.” Loraviel hugged her from behind. “My room is very small. Be careful not to bump into anything.”

Liana rolled her eyes at her. “Besides the bed and the table, what else is in your room that I could trip over?”

“That’s true.”

“Has anyone ever told you that your bed is a little small?” Liana asked, finding that when they lay down, they couldn’t fully stretch out.

“I’ve always slept alone, so of course it’s very small,” Loraviel said helplessly. “I’ll have the carpenter in town change it to a bigger bed tomorrow?”

“Let’s forget it for now. We can change it after we leave. This is also quite nice.” Liana was held in Loraviel’s arms like a doll.

“When are you planning to leave, Your Highness?” Loraviel asked.

Liana’s original plan was to just say hello and then leave. But now, she didn’t want to spoil the mood and also wanted to talk more with Miss Anna. “In a few days.”

“You’re so good, Your Highness.” Loraviel couldn’t help but hug her tighter.

Liana and Loraviel stayed in Gran Town for three days. During this time, Liana saw a purer Loraviel. Or rather, this was what she should have been like.

She also talked a lot with Miss Anna and used her own magic to properly check her physical condition.

But now, she certainly couldn’t stay here any longer. There were more important things for her to deal with. Although she was a little reluctant, it was time to say goodbye.

“Miss Anna, thank you for your care during this time. If possible, you should still move to the Venus Estate to live. We would be more at ease that way,” Liana said.

“I will consider it. After all, the greatest help I can give you now is not to cause you any trouble,” Anna said with a smile.

“I will come back to see you often... Mother.” Liana took the initiative to hug her.

She could feel that Miss Anna’s body was trembling slightly. She was also very reluctant to part with her.

“Mm.”

But she didn’t say anything, only quietly watching them leave.

After getting into the carriage, Liana kept looking out the window. “So this is the kind of pain you go through every time you leave?”

Although it was only a short time together, Miss Anna had been very good to her. She had also felt the warmth of a home from her.

“Yes. The first time I left home for a long journey, I cried for a long time,” Loraviel said.

“...Then I’m really sorry.” «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» Loraviel’s words immediately dispelled Liana’s sad mood.

The Loraviel of the past was truly pitiful. Leaving her hometown, leaving her mother, she was originally very helpless, and then she had met a big beast like herself.

“Didn’t we agree not to talk about this anymore?” Loraviel hadn’t brought this up to make her feel guilty.

“It was just a spontaneous thought,” Liana sighed. “The matter of the demon race is still a headache, and now there’s the matter between the territories. So troublesome...”

Loraviel massaged her shoulders. “It will be fine.”

Regarding the matter of the territories, after Loraviel went back, she would have to ask Grandma Orleya for a small favor. This was a task that could gain a lot of favor with Her Highness. Grandma Orleya would surely agree.

Soon, they returned to the Ibett Magic Academy. The academy was much quieter than before. As time went on, the amount of students would become fewer and fewer, until they truly encountered the demonkind, and then they would slowly increase again.

No one would be willing to put their lives on the line for this meaningless thing, at least for now, it was a meaningless thing to them.

The demons was still very far away for them. As nobles, at most, they had only heard that demons had begun to appear in remote areas. It had no effect on them.

And as the currently trending Chosen of the Holy Sword, Liana also didn’t want to appear in front of them.

“Your Highness, we’ve arrived.” As the carriage stopped, Kasla’s voice also came over.

“Mm.” Liana got out of the carriage and saw the familiar house, waving at the door.

The magic door recognized her mana and opened automatically.

“Mephilia...”

Before Liana could finish speaking, a figure hugged her. “Welcome home, Liana.”

Liana also hugged her back. “I’ve temporarily handled the matters on the Venus side.”

“Mm.” Mephilia hugged Liana, constantly absorbing her energy.

After about ten minutes, she finally let her go.

Then her gaze turned to Loraviel with some hostility, but in the end, she didn’t say anything.

Liana looked around and found that she didn’t see Sephirena’s shadow. “Where is Sephirena?”

This question was met with a roll of the eyes from Mephilia. “What? The first thing you do when you come back is think about another woman?”

“Well, she is also a very important person right now,” Liana said with a laugh.

“It’s all been arranged.”

Mephilia had arranged for Sephirena to live in the house next door. Although there were still rooms in her own house, she was certainly not willing for such a dangerous person to live with them.

At first, she had been prepared to have Sephirena live even further away, but the other party was now keeping the holy sword. It was more convenient to be closer. And if any accident happened, she could go over and help.

“It’s you, the big star, who has disappeared again at a time like this. Many people are looking for you,” Mephilia said.

“Looking for me? For what?” Liana was a little confused.

“What else? To see the legendary Chosen of the Holy Sword. The news has already spread. Everyone knows that you are the wielder of the holy sword,” Mephilia said.

Liana was still the same as before, disappearing after triggering a major event, not appearing in the public eye.

This made many people’s hearts itch. And they hadn’t even seen what the holy sword looked like.

“It’s useless to see me. The holy sword is not with me,” Liana said, spreading her hands. “How is the sword being kept now?”

“You’d better go and ask her yourself.” Mephilia glanced at the door.
