Chapter 99.2: A Date Invitation? (2)
“But Countess Ruth and the others are preparing to leave in the morning. What about you, Liana? Shouldn’t you at least say something to her?” Mepeilu asked.
“If Liana wants to go out, there’s no need to worry. This sort of thing can be easily handled with just one word from Mepeilu.”
“No need to rush. Besides, I already mentioned it today. If she wants to wait for me, then let her wait,” Liana said carelessly.
“But when the time comes, I’ll be troubling you,” Liana added. The journey back was still quite dangerous, and Liana didn’t feel secure leaving it to Loraviel alone.
“Did you forget?” Mepeilu extended her hand, placing her fingertip lightly on Liana’s lips. “I, Liliya, will protect your safety.”
Although her control over magic wasn’t particularly strong, she did possess tremendous raw strength—far stronger than she appeared at a glance.
“That’s true.” Liana had almost forgotten. These past few days whenever she saw Mepeilu, she had behaved so much like a robot—always repeating, "Protect Princess Mepeilu, protect Princess Mepeilu."
It was easy to forget that Mepeilu still had the duty of protecting her too.
At that moment, the crystal ball resting on the table flickered.
“Liana, why don’t you give it a try?” Mepeilu said.
“How do I do it?”
“Just inject magic into the crystal ball, like during training.”
