Lellia trudged back to her quarters.
After hearing the full story, Lute apologized for ever doubting her, saying there was no greater benefactor in the world.
Though she had expected this reaction, Lellia was still dumbfounded.
Seeing her, Lute even tried to comfort her, assuming she must be heartbroken.
“But how could His Majesty suspect a person of such fine character, like you, of being some strange pervert who hides their gender! I feel indignant on your behalf!”
Having suddenly become a ‘strange pervert who hides their gender,’ Lellia dragged her exhausted feet into her room.
She wanted to check if Romeo had returned and if Calix was all right, but all the strength had drained from her body.
Lellia collapsed face-down onto her bed.
Still, it was a huge relief that the potion had worked properly.
Everything had nearly come crashing down.
In truth, when the Emperor had suspected her, she felt as if her heart had plummeted to the floor.
She had been so nervous and anxious.
She missed her family back in the Superion territory.
Of course, it was nice being with her friends… but they didn't know her true identity.
Perhaps that was why they sometimes felt distant, as if a thin wall stood between them.
Lellia compulsively muttered plans for the future in her mind until she drifted off to sleep.
Never imagining what her friends were discussing about her in her absence.
