Chapter 161: Dinner Is Dog Food?

The crystal chandelier emitted a gentle light, illuminating every corner of the hall.

Elegant table mats were spread across the long table, with several silver candlesticks placed on top.

At the end of the long table, Sistem sat at the main seat.

On her left side were the three of Liyakade, while the right side was completely empty.

“Why do the three of you insist on sitting all on one side…”

Sistem looked at the empty seats to her right and the three lined up together on her left, feeling somewhat helpless.

Although she had acknowledged Liyakade after hearing her speech that morning, seeing her own younger sister so attached to Liyakade still left Sistem a bit speechless.

This was a side palace in the royal palace, specially arranged for them by His Majesty the King, so no other royal family members would come here to dine.

Therefore, as the Second Princess, Sistem naturally took the main seat.

“This way, we’re closer.”

“I wanted to sit closer to Liyakade. Her Highness Sistem, this shouldn’t violate noble etiquette, right?”

Field and Alice explained to Sistem.

“Fine, fine, do as you please.”

In the end, Sistem let them sit as they liked.

After all, it was just the four of them, so seating arrangements hardly mattered.

However, as dinner went on, Sistem’s eyelid began to twitch slightly.

“Liyakade, this is really tasty, try it.”

“Liyakade, this seems nutritious, you should eat it.”

“Oh, this one looks like it’s been processed with magic too, Liyakade.”

“No, don’t feed me directly. Weren’t you just putting things onto my plate a moment ago? Why do you want to feed me now? This isn’t right.”

Sistem watched as Field and Alice constantly put food on Liyakade’s plate and even tried to feed her directly.

She felt her head pounding.

As if eating wasn’t noisy enough, now they were stuffing dog food right in front of her, completely abandoning noble etiquette.

If His Majesty the King were here, he’d surely give Field a fierce scolding.

“That’s enough, enough… Can you stop showing off your affection during meals?!”

“Ahem… We’re just eating normally, that’s all.”

“Liyakade is in a critical period right now, she needs to eat more.”

Field said as she cut a small piece of steak from her own plate and placed it on Liyakade’s plate with a fork.

“Liyakade, try this.”

Alice pushed another tray of bread toward Liyakade.

Actually, even if they finished eating, if it wasn’t enough, the housekeepers in the back were always ready to prepare more.

So Field and Alice’s act of feeding Liyakade was more about the action than the need.

“What critical period… I looked into this person’s background this afternoon. It’s you two who should be replenishing yourselves.”

Sistem didn’t say Liyakade’s succubus identity directly.

After all, with so many housekeepers around, blurting it out might scare them, and they might not keep it secret.

Field and Alice also knew about Liyakade’s Demon Bloodline, so it was fine to speak in a roundabout way.

“I checked in the royal library this afternoon. When you get intimate, your stamina, magic power, and energy are partially absorbed by Liyakade. So it’s actually you two who need to replenish yourselves.”

“No wonder Liyakade didn’t seem tired at all earlier.”

Field suddenly understood.

Indeed, after Liyakade used up her magic power, she needed to replenish it in this way.

But why could it replenish magic power?

Of course, because she absorbed it from Alice and Field.

Although Alice is a Light Element Magic User, as long as she didn’t actively release magic, the magic power within her body, as a source of energy, was harmless for Liyakade to absorb.

As for Field, even more so—Fire Element was easy to take in.

“Earlier?”

Sistem repeated the word in confusion.

Was her sister really that hungry?

Even in such a short time?

And didn’t Liyakade say she could get pregnant?

Weren’t they supposed to cut back on intimacy?

Also, looking at Alice and Field’s expressions, it seemed they weren’t surprised that she knew about Liyakade’s Demon Bloodline.

So Liyakade must have already told them.

“…Just be sure to use moderation.”

Sistem had wanted to remind them about contraception, but on second thought, Liyakade might not have told them about her ability to get pregnant yet.

So she let it go, deciding to let Liyakade handle it herself.

“Also, even though you gave your magic power to Liyakade, as a return, Liyakade can help raise your magic power limit, in other words, your level.”

“There’s such a thing?!”

This time it was Alice and Field’s turn to be surprised.

“Yes.”

Sistem took a sip of red wine from her glass and continued slowly.

“As long as you have feelings for each other, staying close to Liyakade will allow your level to rise more quickly.”

Of course, Sistem kept back some information, such as the fact that they could raise their level even faster by… performing as a trio.

After all, not everything written in books is absolutely true.

If it were, the three of them could become the kingdom’s strongest just by being affectionate in their room every day.

“No wonder my level has risen so quickly since Liyakade started tutoring me.”

Alice finally understood.

Liyakade’s help had improved not only her knowledge but also her level.

“In that case, we need to train together even more.”

Field remembered the plan they had come up with before.

“We need to get Alice up to LV.35 quickly, then find that Demon Race.”

“That’s correct.”

Sistem nodded.

The Demon Race hiding in the Academy was a real threat, and that was the reason they’d all gathered in the royal palace.

“Did you hear that? So it’s you two who need to replenish yourselves.”

Liyakade said as she picked up a piece of steak and slowly brought it to Alice’s mouth.

“Mmm… Delicious, thank you, Liyakade.”

Alice gently bit into the steak Liyakade offered, a small look of happiness on her face.

“Liyakade, me too…”

Seeing Alice being fed by Liyakade, Field felt a bit jealous and wanted to be fed as well.

“Of course, Field gets some too.”

Liyakade smiled, and just as before, forked a piece of steak and held it out to Field.

“You three…”

Sistem felt the veins on her forehead twitch.

After all she’d said, Alice and Field had stopped feeding Liyakade, but now it was Liyakade’s turn to feed them.

Her little sister was like a puppy wagging its tail for food in front of Liyakade!

Why was she so rebellious in front of her own sister?

In the end… she was still being force-fed dog food!

Sistem already felt that the delicacies on the jade plates before her had lost their taste.

“You three! From now on, you must sit separately during meals!!!”
