Chapter 99.1: A Date Invitation? (1)
Were they about to go back? Loraviel was overjoyed, thinking she would finally have a chance to monopolize Lady Liana! (Not really.)
Liana thought that if she stayed here any longer, it would indeed be a bit inconvenient. Her presence would continue to weigh on Mepeilu’s mind, making her worry about whether anything would go wrong.
Moreover, these past few days, Mepeilu had rushed over right after hastily finishing her own matters.
Although Liana knew full well that Mepeilu could distinguish priorities and would definitely put her schoolwork first, even so, being this busy, clinging to her too tightly, was undeniably ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) depriving Mepeilu of proper rest.
Every day, she went to bed late, got up early, hurried back and forth, and even after finishing her duties, used what little rest time she had left to accompany Liana.
A sly glint flickered in Liana’s eyes. She had come up with a plan—a way to leave Countess Ruth’s control openly and legitimately, and at the same time, to remain beside Mepeilu with rightful justification.
Right now, given "Liana’s" personality, it would certainly be the smart move to cling tightly to Mepeilu's thigh. Taking this opportunity to escape Ruth's control wasn't a bad idea.
After all, all these years, “Liana” had been striving to seize power for the privileges it would bring. Now, standing before her was someone who was not only genuinely kind to her but also held great potential and authority. And besides, considering the argument she had with Countess Ruth yesterday, wasn’t abandoning Ruth now the proper and reasonable course of action?
Moreover, wasn’t this exactly what Countess Ruth wanted? To have her get closer to Mepeilu, to deepen their relationship.
Liana held Mepeilu’s hand and said, “Well, that depends on how Sister Mepeilu wants to arrange things.”
“Is that so?”
Countess Ruth tilted her head and nodded. “If you’re not in a hurry, you can indeed stay in the Lisat Royal Capital a bit longer. However, during this period, Her Highness the Princess might be quite busy, and it may be difficult for her to take care of you. If we were to return first, and the princess became too busy, there might be no one to look after you.”
