Morning, clear weather.
After learning from Elise that Lilian had taken the day off, Ian set out for the residence where Lilian had previously taken him to treat Lilith.
In Ian’s mind, Lilian should be living there.
To avoid delaying the resolution of Far East City’s food crisis, Ian walked quickly.
But for some reason, Ian felt a sense of unease in his heart.
This feeling was the same as when he had previously made excuses to send Aetherinra and the others away and sneaked out of the city alone.
No, it was different.
This time, the feeling of panic seemed stronger than last time—about twice as strong.
Ian walked while looking back.
He always felt that, just like last time when Veronica had followed him, someone seemed to be following him again.
But no matter how many times he turned around, he didn’t find any suspicious person, so he didn’t dwell on it.
Maybe he was being too paranoid?
Since being followed by Veronica last time, Ian had developed an illusion that someone was following him wherever he went.
11:02
‘Maybe my feeling is wrong. Why would anyone be following me now?’
Ian thought to himself, then stopped looking back and headed straight for Lilian’s residence.
However, what Ian didn’t know was that after he stopped looking back, two beautiful figures emerged from the shadows.
“Phew, that was close. The young master almost discovered us.”
“Yeah, we were almost caught just now.”
These two figures were none other than Elise and Aetherinra, who had come to follow Ian.
When they learned that Ian was going to see Lilian, they followed him out.
Recalling the scene just now, Aetherinra still felt a lingering fear.
They had been following not far behind Ian, and his sudden turn just now had almost scared them.
Luckily, there was a place to hide.
Otherwise, she couldn’t imagine how awkward the scene would be if he discovered them following him.
And she didn’t even know why she had come to follow Ian along with Elise.
But when she heard from Elise that Ian had taken a liking to a maid in the duke’s mansion, her heart faltered, as if she had lost something.
So, by some twist of fate, she ended up following Ian together with Elise.
But when she came to her senses, she realized her behavior seemed somewhat inappropriate.
But since they had already followed this far, Aetherinra couldn’t give up.
She had no choice but to brace herself and continue tailing Ian.
After all, why would Ian go see a maid from the duke’s mansion in broad daylight?
She was following him because she was afraid he might bully the other person.
It was absolutely not because she cared about Ian in her heart.
Definitely not!
Aetherinra found a reason in her heart for her act of following Ian.
“Young Lady, where do you think the young master is going?”
Looking at the unfamiliar buildings around, Elise couldn’t help but ask Aetherinra.
Hearing Elise’s question, Aetherinra shook her head and said.
“I’m not sure either, but if we keep following Ian, we should find out, right?”
Aetherinra and Elise didn’t linger.
They continued following Ian.
Until Ian walked into Lilian’s wooden cabin.
Naturally, the two of them couldn’t follow him inside, so they could only wait outside for him to come out.
And so, Ian entered Lilian’s wooden cabin.
As soon as he went in, he saw that only Lilith was inside.
After Ian’s treatment, Lilith’s condition had improved, and she could now stand.
Hearing the door open, Lilith instinctively thought Lilian had returned, so she said loudly.
“Sis, you’re back?”
But when she saw it was Ian, she froze for a moment, then her eyes lit up.
“Brother-in-law, why are you here?”
Regarding Lilith calling him brother-in-law, Ian had explained many times that his relationship with Lilian wasn’t like that, but Lilith didn’t seem to listen.
And Lilian hadn’t stopped her when she heard the address.
So Ian had become desensitized to Lilith calling him brother-in-law.
“Lilith, is your sister here?”
Ian asked Lilith.
“She went out. She’ll be back soon.”
Lilith licked her lips and said to Ian.
After being treated by Ian, she had turned into a demon.
At first, she didn’t know why it happened.
But later, Lilian explained everything that had happened after she fell ill.
She learned that it was the demons who had turned her and her sister into this state.
She learned that her sister was now one of the Four Great Generals of the Demon Race, and she also knew that she herself had become a succubus among the demons.
Although Lilith was very shocked at first when she learned this information, she gradually came to accept it.
After all, she was already content to be able to stand and live together with her sister.
However, as a succubus, without the strong power that Lilian had, it was difficult for her to completely conceal her aura.
So when walking on the streets, she would inevitably be approached, but every time Lilian blocked them.
After all, Lilian wouldn’t allow any strange men to get close to her sister.
“She went out? Then I’ll wait here for a while.”
Hearing Lilith’s words, Ian had nothing else to do anyway, so he simply waited inside the cabin.
While waiting, his gaze inadvertently swept over Lilith.
He noticed that she now looked completely like a human, without the previous symbols of a succubus she had when she first became a demon.
‘Lilian must have helped her hide them. After all, on human territory, showing those features would be very unfavorable, right?’
Ian guessed in his heart.
“Brother-in-law, is there something you need to see my sister about?”
Lilith was a little surprised when she heard that Ian was going to sit and wait for Lilian to come back.
If it wasn’t something urgent, would her brother-in-law be sitting here waiting for her sister?
“It’s nothing urgent. Just some small matters I need to discuss with your sister.”
Ian laughed it off, trying to gloss over it.
After all, he wasn’t sure if Lilith currently knew about Lilian’s affairs.
If Lilian didn’t want to tell Lilith these things and he let something slip, that would be bad.
So he chose to hide his true purpose from Lilith.
“Hmph, brother-in-law, you’re not being good.”
Lilith pouted and said angrily to Ian.
“Actually, my sister told me everything. I even know that she became one of the Four Great Generals of the Demon Race.”
“So, brother-in-law, whatever it is, you can tell me and I’ll pass it on to my sister.”
Lilith revealed a smile and said to Ian.
And because there was a wall between them, Elise and Aetherinra outside didn’t hear Lilith’s words, and thus didn’t know that there was actually a demon hidden inside this wooden cabin.
