Chapter 248: You Used to Be the Maid of Princess Liana, Right?
“Mephilia wants... me to be the one to bring this up?” Liana bit her lip.
This did indeed seem like Mephilia’s character. Besides, it would be better if she took the initiative to raise the matter.
If Mephilia were to bring it up, it would be like catching a cheater in the act, which would make the situation very awkward for both of them.
“I think so, yes.”
“Then I...”
“However, Your Highness doesn’t need to be in too much of a hurry for now.” Loraviel interrupted Liana. “For a short while, Princess Mephilia will not bring this matter up on her own. She will also ignore some things for your sake. I certainly cannot do anything to provoke her at this time either. I also want to get along well with her.”
“And right now, if you were to bring up my matter, Your Highness, perhaps Princess Mephilia wouldn’t say anything because of you. But from her perspective, I would just be a fish-stealing cat,1偷腥猫 (tōuxīngmāo), homewrecker or a partner who cheats. just someone using her maid status to get close to you. Although, that is also the truth.
“But I still hope that it will be at a time when I have truly done something for you, that you can introduce me to Princess Mephilia with great pride. At the same time, I also hope that more people can acknowledge me. After all, Your Highness, your identities are all a bit special, are they not?”
When it came to matters of love, Loraviel considered things much more deeply than Liana.
Liana thought about it carefully, and it was true.
To be honest, if she were the one being scolded, Liana wouldn’t care. Whatever, let them say what they want.
But Mephilia was going to be the queen in the future. For a queen to have to compete with another person for love sounded absurd.
