Chapter 231: Princess Nimeris
“By the way, Liana, are you sure it’s appropriate for you to be at this occasion?” Mephilia asked with some curiosity.
After all, in front of others, Liana was just an ordinary elf and was not qualified to participate.
“It’s simple. I’ll just become Sephirena’s servant,” Liana said.
“Huh?” Mephilia’s voice went up several pitches.
“It’s just a temporary identity, it’s not real,” Liana said quickly.
Mephilia stared intently at Liana and pinched her cheek. “I know. But I’m also a little curious what you would be like as a maid, Liana.”
Mephilia wanted to unlock a new kind of play with Liana.
Liana could also tell what Mephilia’s words meant. You want to do some master-servant play,1主仆play (zhǔpú play), a Japanese loan-phrase used in Chinese, meaning “master-servant play,” a common trope in roleplaying. right? In your dreams!

The Monkey King, Sun Wukong, could pluck one of his hairs and transform it into a tool or clone to escape danger. It’s a metaphor for a trump card or an ace in the hole. be used up just like that!
You want to play master-servant? Fine! Then the next time I make a mistake, I’ll use that to compensate you.

“Perhaps there will be a chance in the future...” Liana muttered.
