Chapter 120 : The Morning Visitor
Although tonight, Lonis was once again "viciously" bullied by Elucia.
She was picked up by the black-haired girl and thrown into the bath without even taking off her clothes... A towel was thrown onto her face, and she was scolded by Elucia to clean the slime off her body properly.
......
But when lying in the compartment to sleep, Lonis didn't harbor too much resentment toward the black-haired girl.
After all, she had indeed been too reckless this time, hadn't she?
Moreover, thinking back now, she didn't seem to have helped Prince Ruowei Palace much... Even without her company, this silver-haired woman should have been able to properly handle all matters.
And most crucially and importantly.
(Elucia was worried about me, wasn't she?)
Lonis could feel that Elucia's mood tonight was indeed a bit anxious... It seemed that although Elucia was bullying her on the surface, she was actually very worried about her safety!
In that case,
It seemed to be the same from the beginning—if she hadn't run around and gotten caught by tentacle monsters, Elucia's body wouldn't have transformed into loli form.
(Mm, looks like I need to be more careful in the future.)
Thinking of this, Lonis wanted to sigh. She also wanted to have the ability to protect her companions like Prince Ruowei Palace.
But as fellow inheritors of the Flame Abyss, their strength was like heaven and earth. Lonis felt that Ruowei Palace could defeat 100 of her simultaneously!
(Ah ah ah, why did I put all my points into immortality back then? If I had strengthened some combat abilities...)
Things had come to this point, and Lonis didn't know how many times she had felt regret, but now it was impossible to change... She could only continue living as such a soft girl.
Because she was really too tired, Lonis slept very soundly.
The next day, it wasn't until a series of knocks on the door that she was startled awake from her dreams.
"Excuse me, is anyone there?"
"Yes!"
Lonis was about to respond, but she immediately went "thud" and hit the bed board... Because Lonis was sleeping in the compartment, she naturally bumped her nose again.
Not only that, but Elucia had originally been lying on the bed, sleeping peacefully. (Generally speaking, Elucia would return to loli form when sleeping)
Being bumped by Lonis hitting the bed board like this, she immediately became irritated: "Stupid maid, what are you doing now?"
"Eh?!"
"Disturbing my sleep—do you want to be bullied again? If so, little toys activate."
"Wah!"
......
Although Elucia didn't actually activate them, being threatened like this really scared Lonis.
Moreover, if she hadn't heard wrong, it seemed like someone was knocking on the door just now.
And that person was...
"Ahem, excuse me, is this Miss Elucia's residence? I'm Yue Linyi, personal secretary to King Ruowei Palace."
"Oh... so it's Miss Yue Linyi. Mm... I just woke up, please let me tidy up a bit."
"Of course."
......
Clearly Elucia knew that Yue Linyi was King Ruowei Palace, but this black-haired loli showed no trace of surprise.
She just stretched, put on her school uniform, transformed back into her girl form, then put on her shoes and walked to the cabin door.
"Miss Yue Linyi, good morning. What wind brings you here~?"
"Haha, Student Elucia is asking knowingly again. Didn't we agree last night to discuss that matter?"
"Oh, right... I thought last night was a dream. Sorry."
......
Last night, when Elucia burst in on the "adultery scene," Miss Yue Linyi had also seemed very embarrassed... After all, for this king, men and women should not be intimate, and he shouldn't have been too close to Lonis.
However, both Ruowei Palace and Elucia were very intelligent people who knew what matters were most important.
"Confidential information?"
"Mm."
"Can it be entrusted to you?"
"I guarantee it with my own identity."
......
So that's how it was.
All subsequent handling of the situation was managed single-handedly by Ruowei Palace, and her visit to the magical guided ship this morning was to fulfill her agreement with Elucia.
"May I come in?"
"In principle, you'd have to pay admission, but this time it's free..."
Elucia let Ruowei Palace enter, then raised her voice and shouted loudly: "Maid Lonis, where are you? Hurry up and come out to receive the guest."
"Wah wah, I can't get out!"
Knocking sounds came from under the bed board.
This silver-haired maid really wanted to come out... But yesterday Elucia had symbolically locked the entrance to the bed compartment as punishment, which meant Lonis could only sleep in the compartment.
"Ahem..."
Elucia's cheeks turned slightly red, then she opened the lock and let the silver-haired girl out.
"Good morning, Student Lonis."
"Ah, g-good morning..."
Facing Yue Linyi's gaze, Lonis suddenly felt somewhat at a loss.
Because she could clearly feel that the other's expression was full of curiosity... as if wondering why Lonis, a dignified inheritor of the Flame Abyss, would be locked up like a slave by Elucia, yet be so obedient and well-behaved.
Naturally, Lonis couldn't answer such a question.
But fortunately, Elucia directly sat at the table and asked lazily:
"So, Miss Yue Linyi, how did it go?"
"Mm, I can confirm it now. It's about the Great Whirlpool Sea. Luozhi Sheng's family was attacked by sea whirlpool demons and needs the power of the Rainbow Abyss."
"So you granted her your power."
"This isn't granting, but mutual assistance. As an inheritor of the Bright Ember, this is natural."
"What about the Trickster Demon Lord? What do you plan to do? If I remember correctly, the Bright Ember Kingdom is right next to the western demon territory."
"......"
As if asked about something crucial, Yue Linyi's expression became grave.
"You're seriously injured now and definitely won't be a match for General Tesca."
"I know, but the Bright Ember Kingdom... doesn't have only me."
"Eh?"
"My daughter and son have grown up. I believe they will definitely grow to have the ability to defeat the demons."
"Hehe, worthy of a Rainbow Abyss successor—so organized in your actions. Much more astute than this stupid maid of mine."
After saying this, Elucia looked at Lonis with "disdain," that gaze seeming to say: "You idiot, besides having big breasts and a soft body, what other advantages do you have?"
......
(Da-damn it! Elucia is bullying me in front of outsiders again!)
But despite Lonis's great dissatisfaction, she could only stand respectfully to the side.
After all, the maid rules were still posted inside the magical guided ship, and her "slave declaration" was still placed by the bedside. As long as she resisted even slightly, the little toys would activate and make her completely submissive.
"So, white-stockinged little maid, is the coffee ready?"
"R-right away!"
......
While Lonis went to brew coffee, Yue Linyi quietly asked:
"Elder, do you have plans to join us?"
"Don't call me elder—the Snow Kingdom has already fallen. And although I have your Colotia family bloodline, I'm ultimately just a branch family."
"Ah, that's too bad."
"In any case, you must keep this matter secret. This is all I ask."
