Chapter 145: A View Never Seen Before

What Liyakade thought was indeed correct.

Just like in the original story, after learning everything from Sistem, His Majesty the King’s prejudice against Liyakade was no longer so severe.

However, it was only less severe, nothing more.

After all, there were still some subtle differences compared to the original situation, and the matter of standing on two boats was a solid fact.

Although neither Alice nor Field seemed to mind, and their relationship appeared quite good, once there was a second, who could guarantee there wouldn’t be a third or fourth in the future?

And would Liyakade’s heart remain unchanged?

Although Liyakade’s image had improved in His Majesty the King’s eyes, she was still considered a playboy.

Therefore, even if His Majesty the King allowed Field to follow her true feelings and love another girl, he still needed to examine the other party’s character before he could be at ease.

Moreover, Field was the Kingdom’s Third Princess, while Liyakade wasn’t even considered a Noble anymore.

If she truly wanted to be together with Field openly, Liyakade had to present corresponding achievements and merits—a successful subjugation of the Demon King would be an excellent choice.

If Liyakade and her companions could defeat the Demon King together, then upon their triumphant return, such achievements and strength would command respect and win the recognition of the royal family and other Nobles.

At that time, even if Liyakade and her companions were together publicly, no one would dare say much.

“Then… should we go back now, or what?”

Seeing that Liyakade had calmed Field’s emotions, Alice glanced at the two of them, casting Light Magic to reduce the swelling on Field’s reddened cheeks while asking how they should proceed.

“Let’s not go back for now.

We just argued.

It’s better if both sides cool off for a while.”

Liyakade was not in a hurry.

She gently took Field’s jade hand, intertwining their slender fingers.

Even though Field’s mood was soothed, Liyakade could still feel her body trembling slightly.

Perhaps Field was still uneasy and fearful of His Majesty the King’s attitude.

If so, it was better not to meet again for now.

“Alice.”

Liyakade turned her head, smiling as she extended her other hand, softly calling Alice’s name.

“Liyakade.”

Alice returned her smile knowingly, gently placing her hand into Liyakade’s palm.

The three exchanged smiles, their eyes passing silent feelings between them.

Unlike the panic and helplessness when they first fled, the three now strolled leisurely along the mountainside, chatting and laughing as they headed toward the summit of the back mountain.

Before long, Liyakade and her companions arrived at the top of the back mountain.

Though it had always been Field’s Secret Base, ever since they met, it no longer belonged to Field alone, but to all three of them.

Come to think of it, these past two days had truly been hectic.

They rushed back from the Dungeon that morning, searched for the file on Darkness, and upon discovering that such a person didn’t exist, spent most of the day in the Yorozuya discussing strategies.

They even had Sistem join their small group.

Afterward came Chloe’s sudden arrival and the widespread rumors.

Then they found Eric and encountered His Majesty the King.

So much had happened in just one day.

The three girls sat on the smooth stone at the edge of the cliff.

Liyakade squeezed in the middle, wrapping her arms around their slender waists, linking her jade hands with each of them.

Though her petite frame made the center a bit cramped, the three nestled together, their closeness both beautiful and heartwarming.

“It’s almost nightfall already.”

Liyakade looked at the fiery sunset before her, unable to stop herself from sighing.

Although she had admired similar CG scenes in the game, seeing it with her own eyes in reality was far more vivid and moving.

Before crossing over, she had always lived in the city, struggling for survival, and never had the chance to climb a mountain to watch the sunrise or sunset, let alone do so with someone she loved.

So, everything before her and the two by her side filled Liyakade with warmth.

“Yes.”

Field nodded.

From here, one could see the entire Royal City, the crimson sun slowly sinking beneath the horizon.

Since childhood, Field had watched countless sunrises and sunsets from here.

She was used to such sights, but this time was different.

Feeling Liyakade’s embrace, Field unconsciously tightened her grip on her soft, boneless hand.

The sunset, once without warmth, now felt filled with it.

“So beautiful…”

Alice murmured at the scenery, curling up and nestling further into Liyakade’s arms.

Like Liyakade, she had never admired such a view.

Though there were mountains and water in the countryside, they were never as prosperous or grand as the Royal City.

If everything could be as Liyakade hoped, they could always be together, enjoying many more chances to watch the sunrise and sunset.

Not only sunrises and sunsets, but also flower viewing, watching snow, gazing at the moon, and exploring those bizarre underground labyrinths—together, they would see all the world’s wonders.

“Yo-ho.”

At some point, Sistem and Chloe had appeared behind them.

Sistem, sounding displeased, greeted the three from behind.

“So it really is that kind of relationship…”

Chloe, trailing behind, shyly covered her eyes but peeked through her fingers at the affectionate trio.

Though she had heard Liyakade and the others admit it before, seeing their intimacy in person made Chloe’s cheeks flush.

“Si-Sistem, Your Highness!

Why are you here?”

Liyakade quickly released the slender waists on both sides, turning with a slightly embarrassed look toward Sistem and Chloe.

“Of course, I used the Magic Detector to find you.”

Sistem rolled her eyes and raised the Magic Detector in her hand.

“You sure are something, hugging left and right.

Aren’t you worried His Majesty the King will cause trouble for you?”

“Ahem…”

Liyakade seemed to realize her relaxed posture, coughing awkwardly before explaining.

“I actually think His Majesty the King is quite open-minded, and he loves Field very much. He probably won’t do anything to us over this…”

“Oh?”

Hearing this, Sistem raised an eyebrow.

“You can tell that much?

Didn’t expect you to be so good at judging people.”

“Eh?”

At that, Field couldn’t help but exclaim, a touch of excitement in her voice.

“Y-you mean!?”
