Chapter 97.2: Iron Pot Stew Liana (2)
"There’s no particular reason. What you need to do is tell Aust that I can’t use magic, that I’m beyond saving," Liana said calmly.
"Prince Aust III worries about you so much... why deceive him?" Sybil asked, somewhat puzzled.
"It’s the classic dilemma," Liana replied. "If given a choice between two options, people rarely choose Liana."
"You are... my mother’s student, aren’t you?"
"Of course," Sybil said solemnly. "Lady Anbis was an outstanding priestess.
If not for her, I wouldn’t be who I am today. I am deeply grateful to her,
and I have never given up searching for ways to find her."
"Mepeilu helped me solve this issue," Liana said, "but for now, I don’t want them to know.
So doing this favor for me shouldn’t be too difficult, right?
All you have to do is hide the fact that I can use magic."
Liana had not fully trusted Sybil.
If anything about the forbidden drug leaked, her own life could be in danger.
