Lil

Hmm

Uhmm?Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

The sun is already high in the sky!

..!

Lil, who had her face pressed against the desk, raised her upper body. As she sat up, she saw Levi standing near her with her arms crossed. But before she could fully wake up, Lil found herself being dragged to her bed and had no choice but to trudge helplessly after the doctor before sitting down.

The moment the window opposite the bed opened wide, the gloomy room brightened and the fresh dewy air of the morning blew in.

Are the two of you planning a trip together or something? Whats with the map?

Lil, hesitant to give an honest answer, looked at the map of Roahn on which she had fallen asleep.

Ah, yes just

Oh then, did you fight about the trip? Edgar looked like he was in a really bad mood today.

Lil was reminded of last night. The night she avoided answering Eds question about whether he was truly nothing. Ed eventually left, saying he didnt expect anything from her, but at the same time, he actually seemed to be expecting something.

What was I feeling when he said that?

Lil thought, rubbing her sullen eyes.

Why didnt Eds longing words sound burdensome to me?

I guess, Lil is in a bad mood too.

No.

Lil managed to create something resembling a smile. However, as Levi kept her attention towards Lils arm, she didnt see it.

Levi shook her head with a sigh.

He cant even make my patient feel good, what the heck? I should just put a ban on Edgar.

That will make things difficult

Oh my.

Lil meant that it would be difficult because it would create a setback in their jailbreak plan, but Levi covered her mouth to hide her faint smile, probably misinterpreting it. As expected, a faint murmur was heard.

The love feud is as trivial as cutting water with a knife*

Lil suddenly decided that when the time came, she should set a date to correct Levis inscrutable delusions.

After a brief treatment, Levi ended the medical examination with an injection.

Very healthy. Excellent.

All thanks to you, Levi.

Its fine to do more intense exercises now. Of course, as long as you dont overdo it.

Lils fists clenched for no apparent reason. Her grip was firm, and her muscles were much bigger than when she first awoke. Obviously, she wasnt as strong as before, but it was fortunate that she was able to recover this much before the prison break.

[ Your faithful friend, Rene Mireille. ]

Lil slowly raised her head as another door to the bedroom opened. Ed, who seemed to have just finished washing up, appeared somewhat embarrassed as he moved closer. It was understandable. After all, he and Lil usually met in the library or her boudoir.

Why are you

Eds gaze fell on the desk.

here?

Lil turned over the picture frame Ed was looking at. As its golden edge rattled, he met the eyes of a woman wearing a bright smile. He didnt want to look at it, but Ed had no choice but to stare at the face of the woman surrounded by flowers.

What is this?

Lil stood dumbfounded as she looked at the speechless Ed, realising that she hadnt misunderstood the situation. Her chin started to tremble. She squeezed her jaw tightly, knowing she couldnt get any words out at this rate. Only after a while did she manage to squeeze her voice out.

This woman, do you know who she is?

The towel Ed was using to dry his hair dropped in silence. His face hardened without showing a single layer of denial. Despite the miserable affirmation, Lil couldnt accept the situation at all.

How can I even connect the Duke from the darkest parts of my past with this man in front of me?

Lil turned the frame over again.

[ Im glad youre interested in Liloa. I hope you catch her and bring her to me soon. ]

Mireille asked Ed to find me. Ed accepted it, out of interest in me. What the hell Why? For what purpose?

I can explain it I can explain everything.

If you listen no, its not what you Damn it

Ed muttered a few nonsense words at first but then shut his mouth again. His servile voice faded as he rubbed his face with his fingers. Lil couldnt believe hearing his lowering tone, clearly crushed by all the mistakes he made.

Ed knows very well what he has been doing

Please, listen to me for a second

Knowing very well how he spent all those days with me Laughing, playing pranks, and building intimacy

Ed, who seemed to be frozen, moved his feet after coming to his senses. His pace became odiously cautious when Lil locked her gaze on him.

As letters formed words, and words formed sentences, the distant and vague form of the Duke of Mireille completed itself.

The dictator of Mireille.

Lil vividly remembered the days of her endless naivety, crawling on all fours under his reign. Mireille, towering over her head again, was still menacing. Her position now was also far different from when she mocked him by attacking the Garni merchant ships. Here, Lil was once again a mere possession. One owned by Mireille.

If the Duke and Marquess of this Empire traded between themselves, what would the price be?

The dirty pacts that were exchanged, the secret conversations that took place, and other various imaginations pulled Lil down like a swamp. Her thoughts continued to sink into the bottomless pit
