Watching Luwei’s retreating figure as she fled in a panic, a faint smile appeared on Floxi’s face…
Today was a very important day for her.
Because she had finally figured it out… she understood Her Highness’s true attitude and exactly why she was so mercurial.
“Sister Floxi~~”
Suddenly, Shuangna’s voice drifted over from beside her, carrying a hint of a wheedling tone.
“I want to know how you managed to take Master and… wah!”
Shuangna made a pouncing motion like a hungry tiger.
“I’m very interested in some of the details! Can you share them?”
Seeing her like this, Floxi suddenly found it difficult to stifle a laugh…
“I didn’t really do anything~”
“It was Her Highness. She told me herself…”
“Only then did I realize that she had been quietly enduring so much all by herself.”
As she spoke, Floxi’s voice grew a bit despondent.
“Your Highness is truly a gentle person.”
But hearing Floxi’s sentimental remark, Shuangna seemed somewhat bewildered.
“What do you mean by that? Master has always been gentle!”
Hearing this, Floxi chose not to explain.
Her face was radiant with a tranquil smile, and she decided to bury this story, which belonged solely to her and Her Highness, deep within her heart…
‘Whatever, an unrefined maid like you would never understand.’
Floxi’s mind recalled Luwei’s words from then…
Only now did she finally understand.
There was a massive secret hidden within Her Highness.
This secret was so vast that she had to hide her true self at all times.
She had to hide the kindness in her heart, hide her ambitions… and present herself as this willful, fallen person all day long.
It wasn’t until she realized this that Floxi finally felt an immense sense of peace.
Your Highness didn’t truly hate her.
She simply… had to hate her.
The baseless changes of mind, the contradictory behavior, the hot-and-cold attitude… everything now had a perfect explanation.
That was why Floxi’s emotions had fluctuated so wildly after finally uncovering the reason behind it all.
Underneath Her Highness’s vicious and willful mask, there was actually such a soft and gentle heart.
The baseless hug from Her Highness just now was the best evidence!
Even after seeing Floxi’s unruly side, Her Highness’s first thought wasn’t to scold her.
She had been so willful… ignoring the other’s struggle and distaste.
Like a small animal, she had sprawled over her without any regard for her image, seeking comfort.
Floxi had been prepared to be disciplined by Lady Luwei, but she hadn’t been.
On the contrary…
Her Highness had taken the initiative to embrace her.
“Stare~~”
Shuangna watched the happy smile on Floxi’s face, finding it incredibly suspicious.
Therefore, she decided to use a roundabout approach…
“Hey, hey, Sister Floxi~”
“I want to know…”
“When did you become Master’s lover?”
The light of gossip flickered in her eyes.
Just now, Floxi had claimed they were in a romantic relationship — and Master had actually tacitly accepted it!
This was a piece of critical information!
A spark of excitement couldn’t help but rise in Shuangna’s heart…
Master didn’t seem to mind being with other girls together…
“That… that’s a secret…”
Floxi scratched her cheek sheepishly.
But with her slightly introverted personality, how could she possibly hold her own against the mischievous Shuangna?
“You don’t want to say~~”
Shuangna’s voice sounded a bit disappointed.
“Then as a substitute…”
Shuangna’s gaze began to wander over the blonde girl’s body…
“Sister Floxi, can we talk about why you’ve been… naked since the very beginning?”
At those words, Floxi’s entire body stiffened.
She waved her hands frantically.
“I definitely can’t talk about that!”
“Hmm… can you really not say it?”
A dangerous light flickered in Shuangna’s deep blue eyes…
Floxi desperately wanted to keep her secret with Luwei, but unfortunately — her opponent was Shuangna, who possessed the Negotiation Expert trait!
And so, under Shuangna’s repeated interrogation…
“Ugh~~ I really only know this much…”
Everything that should have been said, and everything that shouldn’t have been, was spilled…
“Tsk, things are getting more and more bizarre…”
Luwei curled her lip, a heavy sense of crisis rising in her heart.
As early as one week ago, she had sensed that everything was starting to trend toward a loss of control, and she suspected that the Plot Correction Mechanism was at work.
Now, after personally experiencing everything that happened today, the alarm bells in her heart were ringing at full blast!
The beautiful girls under her command were becoming increasingly disobedient…
Did she even have any prestige left in their eyes?
Aside from that, Luwei had to face another problem.
She fiddled with the dead bat in her hand…
She was currently experiencing a plot point that hadn’t existed in the original work at all.
Why would the familiar of the Vampire Princess, Lilike, appear before her because of Random Teleportation Magic?
Furthermore, it had ended up being killed by her through a series of accidents…
Luwei could only feel a strong sense of being “arranged” by the plot.
‘Is it because of the Technology Turntable…’
First, a Silver Spear specialized for dealing with the Blood Race appeared, followed immediately by the summoning of a familiar bat…
It was almost as if the world was forcing her to use the Silver Spear to kill Lilike’s familiar.
And such a coincidence undoubtedly confirmed one thing — the Plot Correction Mechanism was operating in ways she hadn’t expected!
If the original plot involved Luwei using her sinister cunning to imprison a fallen Lilike…
Then under the current Plot Correction, that sequence of events would be completely overturned.
As she thought about this, a few drops of cold sweat formed on Luwei’s forehead.
Given the current momentum…
Could it be that the corrected plot would involve Lilike turning the tables and imprisoning Luwei instead?
She had accidentally killed Lilike’s beloved familiar, which certainly met the criteria for “bullying.”
Following the flow of the plot…
Was Lilike’s revenge already on its way?
“Monet, are you there?”
Luwei pushed open the door to the laboratory.
Monet — she was the first person Luwei thought of and a Magician she could trust.
“Lady Luwei…?”
Having not seen her for a while, Monet appeared quite exhausted.
But after seeing who the visitor was, she suddenly seemed to perk up?
“Highness, long time no see~~”
Monet rubbed her hands together, her expression suddenly turning a bit strange…
“It’s just your form of address…”
She acted quite bashfully.
“I mean, could you… call me… Honorable Professor Monet?”
Hearing this, several black lines appeared on Luwei’s face.
Normally, such a request would be perfectly fine, but the problem was…
This girl was an Academic Succubus!
A perfectly normal title sounded like some weird master-servant game or roleplay coming from her.
“…Honorable Professor Monet! Are you satisfied now?”
Luwei called out offhandedly, making no effort to hide the disdain on her face.
“Ohh~”
Monet seemed to make some strange sound.
“Yes, that’s it! That’s exactly the tone…!”
Sensing Luwei’s increasingly weird gaze, Monet coughed lightly and finally returned to normal.
“I wonder what important matter brings you here today?”
Once she calmed down, Monet’s mental state seemed to have improved significantly.
Seeing this, the corner of Luwei’s eye couldn’t help but twitch.
She knew, of course, that a succubus could gain energy from various forms of desire…
So, did this girl truly believe in her heart that doing academic work was a sexual act??
Luwei felt a sense of genuine admiration in her heart, but she didn’t call out the other woman’s little fetish…
“I came to find you because there are indeed a few things…”
Luwei looked at Monet seriously.
“Our potion production line is complete, and the Life Potion has entered production.”
“Life Potion?”
Monet paused for a moment.
“It’s the New Healing Potion after it was renamed.”
“Oh, that name is indeed very fitting…”
As she spoke, Monet’s expression suddenly stiffened.
“Wait, did you just mention something incredible?”
She was shocked as the realization hit her.
“You mean… House Carys built an Alchemy Laboratory in one week, and then built an entire Potion Workshop the very next week!?”
Monet’s voice trembled slightly.
Luwei simply nodded calmly.
“My Lord Father is wise. He recognized the immense potential of the Life Potion, so he rushed the construction of the Potion Workshop. This is a good thing… Honorable Professor Monet.”
“Your goal of financial freedom is one step closer, isn’t it?”
“What you need to do now is use the same process and technology to mass-improve the potion recipes…”
Hearing this, Monet took quite a while before finally nodding in realization.
“I understand,” she said meaningfully.
“The Lord Duke is truly blessed to have a daughter like you… I will accelerate the research and development of the potions.”
As she agreed, Monet seemed to remember something…
“By the way, the purpose of your visit shouldn’t be limited to just this, right?”
Hearing this, Luwei didn’t rush to answer.
She simply held up the bat familiar in her hand…
“Well… it seems I’ve caused a huge mess. Do you have any way to help me stay alive?”
She stated it quite calmly, as if she were talking about something as trivial as a clogged toilet…
