Chapter 260: Aren’t You Alive and Well?
“So Sister Liana, you knew too?” Erinna was a little frustrated. “I thought that after saying those things that day, you were going to keep a certain distance from me, thinking I was a strange pervert and not wanting to get close to me.”
“I did think that,” Liana admitted generously. “But that’s not a reason for me not to see you. I’ve said it before, I will look at what you do with complete fairness, as if we’re starting over.
“The reason I didn’t see you was mainly because there were still things that needed to be handled. Besides, aren’t you very busy too, having to manage the affairs of the Venus Dukedom? But I’m back now. If there’s anything you need help with, just say the word. I can help you openly now,” Liana said.
“These are my affairs. I will handle them myself. If people were to see their lady seeking help from others not long after taking office, wouldn’t I be laughed at?” Erinna said.
“What’s there to laugh at? You’re already doing an excellent job at your age. There aren’t many who can achieve what you have. You could be said to be the youngest family head in history,” Liana said.
The history here also included the previous kingdom. To become a family head at the age of sixteen was already an achievement that was difficult to surpass.
“But people more outstanding than me are standing right in front of me now, aren’t they? And there are two of them. Princess Mephilia is also very outstanding. It is precisely because she is so outstanding that she was able to snatch you away from me since we were children.” Erinna’s resentment towards Mephilia was still very strong.
“Ahaha...” Liana laughed a little awkwardly. It was much better for her to say it out loud than to keep it bottled up inside.
“Both you and Princess Mephilia are very outstanding people. Just being as I am is far from enough. I have to be even more perfect,” Erinna said, holding herself to a high standard.
Because in every aspect, whether in looks, skills, or status, she had no advantage. The only thing she could do was work hard.
“You’ve already worked very hard. I can see it all.”
Liana knew that Erinna was now practically using one day as if it were three.
