Chapter 219: You’re Still Alive, Right?
“Because I am also an elf blessed by Mother Tree of Life, I can sense that you have received Mother’s blessing. And the timing isn’t too long ago; it must have been recent,” Avira continued.
“Meeting these conditions, and also having a good relationship with Princess Mephilia, I can only think of one person.”
“Your Highness Liana, you... you’re still alive, right?”
Sephirena had indeed said that ordinary elves wouldn’t be able to recognize her, but it was clear that Princess Avira was no ordinary elf.
However, Liana had never intended to hide her identity from Princess Avira in the first place.
This was one of the reasons for coming to the Elf Forest this time. To allow Princess Avira to cooperate with the Lisat Kingdom with peace of mind, she had to be given a reassurance pill.1定心丸 (dìxīnwán), a literal “reassurance pill”; a Chinese expression for something that relieves anxiety and provides reassurance.
“So I can be discovered after all? I thought it would be hard to be found out after learning some simple elf magic.” Liana took off her disguise. “Hello, Princess Avira.”
“Your Highness Liana, you really are still alive.” This allowed Avira to relax considerably. If Liana was fine, it proved that everything Mephilia had done before was an act. She hadn’t given up on competing to be the next Lisat monarch. Compared to those other fellows, Princess Mephilia was more reassuring.
“Of course, and in much better condition than before.” Liana looked at Avira, wanting to ask about Sephirena, but she didn’t know what Sephirena’s current situation was. Would it be inappropriate for her to bring it up herself?
“Indeed.” Avira was extremely sensitive to mana and could clearly sense the change in Liana.
“There isn’t a major problem with Your Highness’ disguise. Within the Elf Forest, there should be few who can detect that you are not an elf,” Avira said.
“Don’t try to comfort me. It’s not something to be sad about,” Liana said with a laugh.
