“Then…”
Liyakade couldn’t meet Sistem’s eyes, mumbling,
“Her Highness Sistem, is there any way to check if I’m pregnant?”
“Ah?”
Sistem listened to everything Liyakade said, growing more and more confused.
Didn’t she just say that it’s impossible for girls to get pregnant with each other?
Why did Liyakade still want to check if she was pregnant?
“I already said it, it’s impossible for girls to get pregnant with each other, so there’s no way you’re pregnant, right? And even if girls could get pregnant, why are you sure it’s you, and not my sister or Alice?”
Of course, that’s because Liyakade is a Succubus. Only Liyakade can conceive. Field and Alice can’t.
“Uh… T-this…”
Liyakade mentally cursed, poking her fingers together with guilt.
Asking like this would definitely make anyone suspicious, let alone the sharp-witted Sistem.
Liyakade regretted coming to find Sistem. It might’ve been better to randomly ask a servant; at least a servant wouldn’t dare question her reasons.
Now it was bad—her slip-up had aroused Sistem’s suspicion.
If she revealed any more, her Demon Bloodline might be exposed to Sistem.
“N-no, it’s nothing. I was just asking nonsense. I’m leaving!”
With that, Liyakade stood up, intending to leave.
“Wait! Stand right there!”
Sistem grabbed Liyakade’s wrist tightly, staring at her sharply.
Recalling Liyakade’s earlier furtive behavior and her current guilty expression, Sistem was extremely suspicious.
From Liyakade’s words, it seemed her purpose was to find out whether she was pregnant.
Then, why was it so important to know if she was pregnant?
A terrifying possibility flashed through Sistem’s mind.
The more she thought about it, the more she released her magic power, gripping Liyakade tightly.
It was common knowledge: love between girls can’t lead to pregnancy.
Even if they rubbed each other raw, it’s impossible!
Judging by Liyakade’s reaction, she clearly knew this.
Yet Liyakade still insisted on confirming whether she was pregnant and didn’t go to Field or Alice.
Everything pointed to Liyakade possibly having done something to betray Field and Alice.
Why would Liyakade worry about pregnancy?
It could only mean she’d messed around with another man!
And without protection, which is why she was worried!
She claimed to like girls, had confirmed relationships with Field and Alice, even broke taboos, yet secretly got involved with another man!
Liyakade, how could you do this to Field and Alice?
To think Sistem once thought Liyakade was kind-hearted and unique, a righteous, straightforward person who stuck to her own kindness.
Who knew… she’d do something so disgraceful!
The more Sistem thought about it, the angrier she became, tightening her grip on Liyakade’s wrist.
“Ow! Her Highness Sistem, w-what’s wrong!”
Liyakade flinched in pain, looking fearfully at Sistem’s enraged expression.
“Liyakade! Speak clearly—what do you mean by all this?”
Although all signs pointed to Liyakade worrying about pregnancy because she’d gotten involved with a man, Sistem still wanted to hear Liyakade’s answer.
“I-I just wanted to know if I was pregnant…”
“Bang—”
An explosion thundered.
The crystal window shattered instantly.
Sistem’s sudden attack almost caught Liyakade off guard, and she was thrown out the window.
“Cough… cough, cough…”
Liyakade hurriedly released Wind Elemental Magic to steady herself, stopping before hitting the ground.
She couldn’t understand why Sistem had attacked so suddenly.
Had Sistem discovered she was also part of the Demon Race?
“Heh, Liyakade.”
Sistem floated down from midair.
“I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person, daring to deceive my sister! You’re not worthy to be with her!”
“First, I’ll beat you up, then drag you before them to apologize!”
With that, the wind elements around Sistem surged, the intense wind pressure making it impossible for Liyakade to open her eyes.
“All unrelated personnel, leave!”
The commotion had clearly drawn the attention of other guards and servants.
Sistem roared, ordering everyone to clear the area.
She wanted to teach Liyakade a lesson herself; anyone else would just get in the way.
“No… it’s not like that!”
Liyakade tried to explain, shouting,
“They! Field and Alice both know about this!”
She hadn’t lied to them!
She hadn’t hidden her Demon Bloodline—she’d told Field and Alice, and both had willingly accepted and promised to keep her secret!
“Poof—”
Sistem almost blacked out, nearly coughing up blood.
She couldn’t believe her sister had been led astray by Liyakade to this extent.
Liyakade was fooling around with other men, and Field was still condoning her?
Alice too?
How could they accept this?
PUA. This had to be PUA!
Liyakade must have brainwashed Field and Alice somehow!
After she finished dealing with Liyakade, she’d report everything to His Majesty the King and punish Liyakade severely.
After that, she’d properly heal Field’s wounded heart.
“You… prepare to die!!!”
“Ah! Help! They really accepted it! They even said they’d keep it secret for me!”
Realizing communication was useless, Liyakade could only release magic to defend herself.
Judging from Sistem’s expression, she clearly had no intention of holding back—she even seemed to want to kill Liyakade.
Did the Demon Race and humans really have to be so hostile?
Field and Alice could accept her as she was.
“Storm Spear!”
Sistem unleashed the Storm Spear without reservation.
It formed in midair and shot toward Liyakade at high speed.
However, Liyakade used the same technique, gripping her own near-invisible spear and swinging it, dispersing the Storm Spear, which vanished along with her own weapon.
“What!?”
Sistem stared in shock.
She’d only used this move twice before Liyakade, yet Liyakade had learned—and even improved—it already.
Truth be told, though Liyakade’s moral standing had hit rock bottom for Sistem, her magical talent was still worthy of praise.
However, this level alone was far from enough to defeat Sistem.
Without further hesitation, countless wind blades followed, slashing toward Liyakade.
Liyakade quickly raised a Wind Shield to block, but instantly felt a heavy pressure descend as Sistem manipulated the Wind Field above, smashing it downward.
This was nothing like the time at the cultural festival.
Sistem’s attacks were rapid and relentless—no more playful exchanges.
Fortunately, Liyakade’s physical strength was formidable.
Despite the oppressive Wind Field, her spellcasting speed didn’t slow, and the Wind Shield blocked all the incoming wind blades.
“What? Why is it having no effect?”
Sistem watched in confusion.
She’d released intense pressure in Liyakade’s area, yet Liyakade moved through the Wind Field as if nothing affected her.
“Voice of Sylph, tear apart the veil woven by stardust, fragments of wind falling from the firmament, be reforged as blades at my side!”
“This is…”
The powerful wind pressure seemed intent on blowing Liyakade away.
Even with her strong physique, the fierce gales forced her back several steps.
Liyakade raised her arms to shield herself, her hair whipped backward.
Watching Sistem’s chant, she recognized the magic being unleashed.
After all, in the original game, players had a chance to control Sistem, and this was the summon magic she learned at LV.60—Voice of Sylph.
Behind Sistem, wind elements solidified, forming a blue Elemental Giant with four wings.
The giant wielded a sword and shield, enormous yet swift as a raging storm.
In an instant, it appeared before Liyakade, its blue greatsword crashing down.
So fast!
Liyakade quickly dodged sideways.
The giant was faster than she expected.
While Sistem herself lacked close-combat ability, the giant fully compensated for this.
No, to be precise, with the giant restraining the enemy, it was nearly impossible to reach Sistem before defeating it.
But if she didn’t handle Sistem first, Sistem could act as a spell turret, unleashing magic continuously.
Liyakade had just dodged when Sistem’s web-like wind blades encircled her.
The blue giant slammed its shield down, and Liyakade instantly felt her body become unbearably heavy.
She couldn’t cast Wind Shield or dodge now.
Sistem’s attacks didn’t aim for vital points—at worst, being struck would leave her half-crippled, since she still needed to drag Liyakade to apologize to Alice and Field.
…No choice!
Suddenly, the blue magic turned crimson.
Liyakade’s eyes flared scarlet as she regained her mobility.
A pitch-black Shadow Spear materialized in her hands.
With a sweeping motion, she shattered the wind blades, then struck the giant’s shield, sending it flying dozens of meters back.
The Elemental Giant also faded significantly from the blow.
“You… what is this?”
Sistem’s pupils narrowed as she witnessed Liyakade’s transformation.
“Demon Race!”
“Yeah…”
Liyakade looked at Sistem, a bitter smile on her face.
This was her beloved’s older sister.
If Sistem couldn’t accept her true self, there was nothing Liyakade could do.
“It’s true the Demon Race and humans have always been at odds. I understand if Her Highness Sistem can’t accept me. I’ll just leave.”
“Wait!”
Sistem showed no sign of letting Liyakade go.
“Who said you could leave after hurting my sister? I won’t forgive you!”
With that, the Elemental Giant swung its sword again.
“What? I never hurt Field! I told both Field and Alice about my Demon Bloodline long ago. Even so, we chose to be together, and they promised to keep it secret! How did I hurt Field!?”
Liyakade held her spear with both hands, blocking the giant’s strike.
“Didn’t you keep asking if you were pregnant!? If you weren’t with a man, how could you get pregnant!!!”
Sistem shouted, hurling another Storm Spear.
“Eh?”
Liyakade paused at Sistem’s words, then flicked her spear, deflecting the blade and dispersing the Storm Spear again.
“W-wait! I wasn’t with a man!”
Suddenly, Liyakade realized the issue.
A girl obsessively asking if she’s pregnant—from common sense, it meant she’d recently been with a man.
But after learning that she and girls could have children, Liyakade had unconsciously ignored this logic.
No wonder Sistem was furious—she thought Liyakade was involved with another man.
“Then why did you keep asking about being pregnant? Are you self-pollinating or something!? Prepare to die!”
“I-I’m a Demon Race! I can have children with girls, too!”
Liyakade saw Sistem gathering magic and quickly shouted before the next attack landed.
“Eh?”
The blue glow in Sistem’s hands froze.
The Elemental Giant halted mid-swing, as if someone had hit pause.
“Wait…you…”
For Sistem, Liyakade’s Demon Bloodline was far less serious than her possibly being with a man.
After hearing Liyakade’s shout, she rapidly sorted her thoughts.
Liyakade could have children with girls, so she wanted to know if there was a way to check for pregnancy.
But not knowing that, Sistem had assumed she’d been with a man.
“So you’re saying… even if you were with my sister, you could still have children?”
“Yes, exactly!”
Liyakade nodded furiously like a pecking chick.
“It’s not like I was with any man!”
“Then who would get pregnant? You?”
“Yes! Otherwise, why would I come ask you about checking? No matter how many times I do it, no matter which girl I do it with, the one who gets pregnant is only me!”
“I-I see!”
Sistem looked at the mess in the courtyard, then at the damaged wall.
The Elemental Giant now stood like an idiot, frozen in place.
“Cough, cough…”
Sistem hurriedly dismissed the Elemental Giant.
“So it was a misunderstanding! Liyakade, hurry and revert your form. It’ll be bad if someone else sees you like this!”
“Wasn’t it you who forced me into this… Her Highness Sistem!”
Liyakade glared at Sistem with deep resentment.
