Chapter 1076: Chapter 805: Seems Like We’ve Found the Truth_2
Liz rubbed her eyes and sat up without any defense, letting the blanket slide off her, exposing her fair and alluring skin and petite yet full figure.
"..."
Yuloli tilted her head, staring intently at Reiger with her red eyes, as if silently asking him what on earth was happening.
This made Reiger’s mouth twitch uncontrollably.
No... do you have the nerve to look at me like that?
If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be misunderstood by the maid, would I?
"Your Highness!"
Unaware of the resentful thoughts in Reiger’s mind, Luna, upon seeing Liz awake, groggily rubbing her eyes, with her fair and alluring body unreservedly on display, immediately cried out.
"No! You can’t just get up like this! Your Highness! You’ll be seen completely!"
Luna ignored her aching backside and lunged towards Liz.
Sorry, Your Highness has already been completely seen by me, more than once...
Reiger continued his internal grumbling.
The main bedroom of the Princess’s chamber suddenly became bustling and noisy, shattering the prior tranquility.
On Reiger’s first day returning from Dimensional Travel, he announced the beginning in such circumstances.
...
"Did really nothing happen?"
"Re-really, nothing happened."
"Truly... really nothing happened?"
"Really nothing!"
"Did Your Highness not get taken advantage of by that bad person?"
"The master is not a bad person..."
"No, he is a bad person, the baddest person in the world."
"Don’t say that about the master, Luna..."
About half an hour later, everyone came out of the main bedroom and went into the outside chamber, sitting down with each other.
Already dressed properly, Liz had a flushed face, seemingly finally realizing what had just happened, feeling embarrassed and looking uneasy, but under Luna’s relentless questioning, she was still embarrassedly responding.
"Ha~~~"
Yuloli, also dressed neatly, sat beside Reiger, yawning.
Despite just waking up not long ago, she showed a super sleepy appearance, unlike anyone else.
As for Reiger, he was of course dressed properly as well.
His attire was originally created with [High-Level Item Creation], and with just a thought, he could instantly wear them neatly.
And it seemed he had already forgotten everything from just now, or perhaps had permanently stored that romantic encounter deep in his mental hidden folder, now sitting calmly beside Yuloli, opposite Liz and Luna, leisurely sipping tea.
This look made Luna glare at him more than once, with a face full of deep resentment.
"Okay, Luna, don’t blame the master." Liz could only speak on Reiger’s behalf, saying: "That wasn’t the master’s doing, it was Miss Yuloli’s bad habit, the master did nothing wrong, don’t wrongly accuse him."
"How can you say it’s a wrongful accusation, Your Highness!" Luna, however, not only was unpersuaded but retorted, saying: "How noble is the figure of Your Highness? To not only share a room with that unaware man but also experience that... that sort of thing, according to the kingdom’s laws, defaming the royal princess’s honor definitely deserves punishment!"
Luna appeared puffed up, making one think that the person who was naked and embraced with Reiger just now wasn’t Liz, but her.
"I’m no longer a princess..."
Liz could only weakly express.
"Moreover, someone like me, how could the master be interested..."
This girl was habitually feeling self-deprecating again.
This, however, provoked Luna.
"Your Highness, what are you saying? How could anyone not be interested in Your Highness?" Luna said excitedly: "Even if you’re not a princess, Your Highness is the most beautiful person in the world; being paired with such a person is absolutely beyond deserving, no, I should say no one is worthy of Your Highness at all!"
Luna’s highly agitated expression scared Liz into shrinking her neck.
"It’s not true." Liz said softly: "Miss Yuri is the real beauty, and so is Miss Yuloli, even Sister Marilyn and the other royal sisters are better than someone like me, I’m really not as remarkable as you say, Luna."
"Your Highness, you..." Luna immediately showed an expression of bitter disappointment.
Clearly, this maid was also deeply troubled by Liz’s self-deprecating personality.
So, she was well aware that whatever she said now, the little Highness wouldn’t listen.
"It’s all your fault!"
At this point, Luna could only vent her anger on Reiger.
"If you say so, then it is."
Reiger rolled his eyes, unwilling to pay attention to the angry maid.
However, he didn’t remain silent and directed a question at Liz instead.
"I’ve been lying here for a whole day and night, did none of you get up in the meantime?"
Reiger thought that during his Dimensional Travel, Liz and Yuloli would have gotten up midway and left him.
It seemed now they had stayed lying beside him for a whole day and night?
Sure enough...
"I tried to wake the Master, but he didn’t wake up," Liz replied as her attention was easily diverted. "The Master was cultivating, right? Of course, I need to stay close and protect him."
Having known about the existence of the Dimensional Cube, and not for the first time seeing Reiger asleep for a day and night, Liz understood what state Reiger was in after he didn’t wake up in between.
Because of this, Liz dared not leave Reiger casually and continued to lie beside him, protecting him "close up" as before.
As for Yuloli, seeing Reiger and Liz with no intention of getting up, she naturally did not get up either.
This was why the three of them lay together for a full day and night, with none leaving midway.
"At times like this, you’re sharp," Reiger glanced at Liz and said, "It’d be great if you were this sharp before."
Liz shrank her neck again, becoming timid and non-confrontational.
She knew Reiger was referring to the time when she gave up resisting and contacting him, willingly being confined in the palace according to King Hemulinp’s arrangement, to reveal a series of hidden figures behind the scenes.
Reiger still remembered this matter, and bringing it up naturally made Liz sulk.
"You are not allowed to speak that way to Her Highness!"
Luna immediately stood up, blocking in front of Liz, continuing to glare at Reiger.
"What did I say?" Reiger said with a half-smile, "She’s my attendant, shouldn’t I be allowed to criticize her?"
Luna was at a loss for words.
Indeed, Liz was still Reiger’s attendant; if he didn’t have the right to criticize her, then who did?
Of course, Luna quickly reacted.
"Her Highness became your attendant because of a royal command. As a princess, there’s a duty to fulfill, which is why she was arranged to your side by His Majesty." Luna retorted without backing down, "Now, Her Highness is no longer a royal princess, so she naturally has no duty to fulfill, to abide by the royal arrangement, and make a contract with you."
That’s true.
If Liz really wasn’t a royal princess anymore, what obligation did she have to the royal family, to become someone else’s attendant?
Unfortunately...
"That’s something you saying doesn’t matter, it’s only when Liz says it that it counts."
Reiger continued drinking tea with an air of calmness.
"Stop it, Luna," Liz quickly tugged at Luna’s sleeve, saying, "I willingly became the Master’s attendant, and even if I’m not a royal princess, I want to follow the Master."
"Your Highness, you..." Luna once again looked helplessly disappointed.
Her Highness, you’re being foolish.
With a chance for freedom after so much difficulty, why still go to be someone else’s attendant?
Isn’t it just a Sword Saint?
Even at just 17 years old and a Tactical Level Magician, with the conditions you have, Your Highness, it’s not necessary to be beneath anyone, right?
While Luna thought this, Reiger, who was sipping tea, raised his head.
"We’ve been lying down for a day, let’s go for a walk."
Saying this, Reiger stood up, pulling the still yawning Yuloli, and casually started walking outside.
"Wait, Master."
Liz hurriedly stood up and followed.
"Your Highness!"
Luna exclaimed in surprise, and quickly followed suit.
