Chapter 157: Super-Powered Monster! Stat Monster! Cheater!
Sephirena looked at Liana and said seriously, “Gambling is a bad behavior.”
“...Huh?”
Liana had thought she might agree or refuse, but hadn’t expected her to say something like this.
Although this certainly wasn’t a behavior worth promoting, when Liana heard these words spoken so seriously from Sephirena’s mouth, she didn’t know what expression to use when facing Sephirena.
It wasn’t that Sephirena was particularly proper. When she was young, she had been scolded many times by Sister Tarashil for this very thing. Back then, she knew she would definitely win, so during competitions, she often used reverse psychology to get others to bet with her.
She won many delicious treats this way, but since Sephirena won through her own skill, even if others were dissatisfied, they could only endure it. Moreover, Princess Sephirena had defeated them in archery, the elves’ specialty, so naturally, they had nothing to say.
But before long, Tarashil discovered this and scolded Sephirena. As a princess of elvenkind, everything she did was watched by others. Winning was expected, because she was a princess who should be more excellent than others. But using this to gain things from others would cause gossip.
As for losing, that would be an even more serious problem. A princess who couldn’t excel beyond others? And she had previously used her specialty to gain things from others. Such behavior with no benefits was naturally stopped by Princess Tarashil.
So after that, Sephirena rarely did such things.
“I’m stronger than you, Princess Liana. This is very unfair to you. You will lose,” Sephirena said.
“Tch.”
So that was it. Liana had thought there was some special reason, but it turned out she just thought Liana was too weak and not challenging enough. “I’m not as weak as you imagine, and besides, they’re just a few snow wolves.”
