“Of course,” she said. Originally, Mephilia was their main target of observation, but after the holy sword revealed itself, the focus shifted to Liana.

“For today, let’s rest first. As for the matter of the Laurent Territory, leave it to me. you just think of a way to get the demon wolf’s magic core out intact.” Regarding the demon race, Mephilia couldn’t help much.

She could only control and suppress them. How to extract the magic core, she did not know.

“Leave these to me,” Liana said.

There was no need for Mephilia to worry about this. All she had to do was pierce the core with the holy sword and then destroy it. After all, the sword could directly absorb the core’s power; there was no need to take it out.

The only problem was that Liana had to be with Sephirena. If the distance was too great, she wouldn’t be able to use the sword. But if the distance was too close, to be honest, she didn’t have full confidence in being able to protect herself.

“Mm.” Mephilia stood up. “For now, let’s get a good rest. From tomorrow, time will be a little tight.”

There was one who was raising a demon, and perhaps there were more. The number of things to investigate had also increased a lot.

Mephilia sighed. In the end, it was because she was too weak and did not have enough ability.

Liana also stood up, cast an apologetic look at Loraviel, and then followed Mephilia into the room.

She took the initiative to hold her hand. “What’s this? You look so unhappy.”

She continued, “It’s my fault. I’ve delayed for too long.”

She hugged Mephilia. She thought it was because she had delayed for too long in Gran Town that Mephilia was feeling uneasy.

Mephilia gently patted her hand. “Although that’s part of the reason, it’s mainly because I feel a little powerless at a time like this.”

“Powerless?”

“Mm. In front of the demons, I am still too weak,” Mephilia said.

“Mephilia.” Liana had her lift her head.

She saw Liana’s fist, and then, flick!

Liana flicked her on the forehead. “Really. When I felt I was very weak and had no power before, you said such nice ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) things to comfort me. How come you’re like this yourself?

“Be a little more confident. Don’t lose faith, Mephilia. The demon race is not scary. you have sacred magic, which is enough to easily deal with a demon of the same level as yourself. When you encounter them, if you show fear, you will instead fall into their trap,” Liana said.

“You are already very skilled. You always tell me not to put too much pressure on myself, but in the end, you are the one who gives yourself a lot of pressure,” she said, gently comforting her. “We also have to recognize what we can’t do for now. It’s not a shameful thing to ask for others’ help.”

“Mm, I know.” Mephilia’s mood improved a lot. It was indeed easy to overthink when one was alone.

“Are the matters of the Venus Dukedom all handled?” Mephilia asked.

“...Of course,” Liana said with a smile. She should have comforted her a little later, when Mephilia was about to fall asleep.

Now it seemed she had dug a pit for herself.

But she had indeed handled some of the matters of the Venus Dukedom.

“That Erinna girl really isn’t very obedient,” Liana said.

“Erinna?”

“Mm. I’ve told her many times to pay attention to her health and not to stay up all night dealing with the affairs of the Dukedom. Although she agreed verbally, in reality, she still secretly stays up late. This time, I caught her red-handed,” Liana said.

“That’s very naughty, to agree to something but not take it to heart,” Mephilia said, looking at Liana resentfully, as if her words had a hidden meaning.

Liana naturally heard it. This was aimed at her.

“It’s not that she didn’t take it to heart. As a duchess, she has many things to consider. You cannot blame her. It’s my problem, I suppose. I’ve pushed all the responsibility onto her,” Liana said.

“Is that why you went back? To help Erinna deal with some matters concerning the Venus Dukedom?” Mephilia poked Liana’s cheek.

“That’s just one of the reasons. I also went to the place where a demon had appeared before. After that, it seems no more have appeared, but the traces left by them on the ground have still not dissipated. No new vegetation has grown in that area; it is still withered,” Liana said.

Liana felt it should be because the demon vanguard had died there, so it was judged by the demon race as a dangerous area. At least for a short time, no more would appear.

“What did I just say!” Mephilia knocked her on the head forcefully.

“What was that for!” Liana looked at her, aggrieved. “Did you forget, Mephilia? I still have Miss Kasla with me.”

“...” Mephilia had indeed forgotten this point. With Miss Kasla there, she was indeed very safe.

“You’re bullying me again!” Liana looked at her with a wronged expression.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Mephilia hugged her, rubbed her head, and gently kissed the spot she had just knocked.

“So mean!” She said aggrievedly.

“Whatever compensation you want, you can say it. No matter what, I will do it,” Mephilia said. “Including some shameful things, I can do them.”

What kind of punishment? Liana couldn’t think of anything for the time being. “We’ll talk about it later.”

“Alright~ No matter when, as long as you ask, I will accept it,” Mephilia said.

“That’s more like it.” Liana nodded with satisfaction.

“Besides the withering, did you find anything else new?” Mephilia asked.

Liana shook her head. Unfortunately, apart from the withered land, she had not seen any other traces of the demon race.

“That’s also good news, isn’t it?”

“Good news?” This made Liana a little confused. Logically speaking, the demons encountered in this kind of place would not be too powerful. As long as one was well-prepared, it was completely possible to take them down.

“Yes, because that place is very close to Gran Town, right? No demons appearing means that the people of Gran Town will be safer. And Loraviel’s mother, Miss Anna, is also there, right?” Mephilia said, looking at Liana with a sweet smile.

As if to tell her, don’t think I don’t know what you were up to.

You can even deduce that...

Liana was a little frustrated. She knew that Mephilia certainly wouldn’t send people to spy on her. Miss Kasla had also rested with the royal knights after arriving in Gran Town at her request. No one should have known about this.

However, this could also prove that Mephilia definitely already knew about her relationship with Loraviel. If one analyzed with the answer in hand, it was still easy to draw a conclusion.

“That’s true. The demon race is too mysterious and dangerous. The slightest carelessness can cause huge losses. For them not to appear is indeed the best news,” Liana said, going along with her words.

“Now, the only clue is the Laurent Territory,” Mephilia said.

“Mm.”

“Speaking of which,” Mephilia said, looking at Liana and recalling a past event. “It seems Countess Rose once wanted to matchmake you and Karen Laurent?”

“...I think there was such a thing.” Liana didn’t know why Mephilia had suddenly brought this up.

“If I had known you would refuse, I wouldn’t have gone to so much trouble.” Mephilia lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling.

“Mephilia?”

“I was really scared at that time. Very scared that you would leave me and choose that gloomy fellow. So I thought of many ways and delayed for a long time... but in the end, you still met.” Mephilia’s tone was filled with unease.

This was something Liana had never known. Had she already done so much for her before...

But thinking about it carefully, this was also very normal. It was impossible for her to just stand by and watch. But her ability was also limited.

“...” Liana took a deep breath, sat on Mephilia, and then took the initiative to undo her own clothes. The clothes fell onto Mephilia’s body.

“Liana?”

“Today, whatever you want to do, however you want to do it, I will accompany you.” Liana gently kissed her lips.

Mephilia closed her eyes and responded, pressing her hand on the back of Liana’s head.

Her left hand also began to slowly move downwards.

What Liana hadn’t expected was that the Mephilia of last night was the gentlest she had ever seen.

So gentle that Liana felt it was a little strange. She didn’t make any strange requests at all.

Perhaps it was because she had remembered some bad memories, so she cherished her especially. Liana didn’t dislike this. After all, she was usually the one getting stomped...

“We have to be apart again for a while.” Mephilia had just put on her white shirt when Liana opened her eyes.

To be able to see such a delicious sight first thing in the morning, Liana was truly too happy.

The morning sun shone through the pure white shirt, outlining Mephilia’s perfect figure. Liana had two things to say.

At this time, Liana also sat up, pulling the quilt to cover her body. “You should be back soon, right?”

“Perhaps? But the matter is of great importance. Perhaps the king has other ideas,” Mephilia said. For something like this to happen, there was basically no room for turning back.

Not to mention, the hidden dangers in the Lisat Kingdom now were not just the Laurent Territory. There were still those two territories on top of that.
