Sherya chose not to correct herself.
Perhaps, in her eyes, being treated as a younger sister by a girl clearly much younger than herself was, in a way.
Amusing.
Seeing Lily Ji play the role of a little adult was cute.
In this vast Ji family, moments of warmth and color were rare for Sherya.
Lily Ji’s innocent and pure nature, apart from being a bit “devoted enthusiast,” made her a good girl no matter how you looked at it.
Sherya blushed slightly as she adjusted her clothes.
Anyway, it was presentable enough to meet others.
Then, as if remembering something, her eyes suddenly widened.
When she looked again.
The girl’s expression had an unprecedented dimness.
Finally, she pursed her lips.
Gritted her silver teeth, as if making a certain determination.
And began searching left and right.
In the end, she found it…
The white writing board that Ji Lian had given her as a gift.
Use everything at your disposal.
Don’t let your emotions control you, Sherya!
If you impulsively discard this writing board just because you’re mad at Ji Lian.
You’re giving up even the last chance to change your fate!
Do you think Ji Yu Su will buy you a new writing board or care about your muteness?
You must be strong, discard that weakness.
Because only this way can you possibly retaliate for the harm you’ve suffered.
First and foremost, against Ji Lian.
You’ll make her regret it one day, won’t you?
Sherya murmured to herself in her heart.
Encouraging herself almost hypnotically.
In reality, she slowly picked up the writing board in her hand and swiftly wrote something.
Finally, she held the white board in front of the golden-haired little maid, Lily Ji, and it read.
—”Thank you, Lily Ji, you’re the best.”
Looking at the statement on the writing board, Lily Ji’s cheeks suddenly turned red.
She blinked her long emerald eyes rapidly and said incoherently.
“You, you, what on earth are you saying!”
“I’m just following the young lady’s orders to temporarily take care of this foolish girl who can’t take care of herself.”
“A mere elf is not worth my service!”
In response, the elf Sherya merely smiled faintly.
Everything was understood without words.
System: The host’s speed in adjusting emotions is beyond my expectations, impressive!
System: Well then, cheer up and launch a spirited campaign to deceive and capture the hearts of those detestable villainous girls!
System: Would you like to start today’s lottery and affinity assessment? My Princess Sherya!
Sherya: Put the opportunity for the affinity assessment on hold for now, System. And now, I choose to start the lottery.
The next moment, the results of the daily lottery instantly appeared before the young elf girl.
And it made her eyes light up involuntarily.
……………….
When Ji Yu Su arrived at the dining room, it was much later than usual.
Before her arrival, whether it was the maids and the housekeeper standing by or Ji Lian, who was sitting at the table, everyone appeared anxious, confused, and restless.
And one thing was quite obvious.
Before the young lady of the Ji family, Ji Yu Su, arrived at the dining room, no one dared to take the first bite without that courage, regardless of their status.
Even in the main Ji family in the capital, Ji Yu Su’s father, the head of the family, would patiently wait for his proud daughter to take her seat before announcing the start of the feast.
However, unlike the other maids’ concerns, Ji Lian felt restless because… she thought about a certain delicate and pitiful elf.
It was hard for her not to imagine the situation in the worst possible way.
Her unrestrained sister… kept the elf until very late, causing injuries all over, to the point of being on the brink of death.
That’s why she was late because last night was a sleepless night.
The girl quietly clenched her fist.
Her concern only for the elf girl.
Not for protesting or opposing her sister’s actions.
She didn’t think there was anything wrong with what her sister did.
Only because of the brief interaction with the elf girl after yesterday, she felt a bit concerned about their relationship.
She hoped her sister would be a bit gentler when dealing with her, at least.
Of course, if her sister didn’t want to!
Just… Ji Lian hadn’t thought that far.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps echoed.
This immediately drew the attention of the maids, the housekeeper, and everyone, including Ji Lian.
And the one who came was indeed Ji Yu Su, the young lady of the Ji family, who was “late” for some unknown reason.
Her spirit was quite vibrant, and even though the girl still had a blank expression.
It was obvious to everyone.
There was not a trace of the tiredness one would expect from overwork.
Should one say… she truly lived up to being an elder sister.
Seeing the situation, Ji Lian became even more worried about the elf girl.
Even though her own actions almost deprived her of the right to care about Sherya.
Ji Yu Su took her place at the head of the table, seemingly indifferent to those around her, and started enjoying her breakfast.
The variety of dishes on the table was extensive, but Ji Yu Su only sampled a few.
Having a delicate appetite that could be described as that of a bird.
Logically, as a general of the empire, maintaining sufficient nutrition should be a necessity for maintaining robust physical strength.
But don’t forget, in this world, there exists a magical force known as magic power in the west and as spiritual power in the east.
Thanks to it, Ji Yu Su could almost achieve a legendary state of Fasting.
Surviving on air and sunlight, the girl could probably live without any harm.
Her prowess on the battlefield also stemmed from this.
Seeing her sister enjoying her food, Ji Lian finally breathed a sigh of relief and started using her knife and fork to eat her own breakfast.
The process of having breakfast was silent and lengthy.
Even if Ji Lian had already eaten or had no appetite, she obediently waited until her older sister had not left the seat.
Suddenly, Ji Yu Su picked up a snowy white handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her lips.
Although there seemed to be no food residue at all.
Every movement of the girl was filled with grace, as if it were innate and required no instruction from etiquette teachers.
It was a level that Ji Lian could never reach.
After wiping, Ji Yu Su gently parted her vermilion lips and commanded with an unquestionable tone.
“Butler, go and find the best doctor in Fericis.”
“Yes, young lady.”
The butler didn’t ask why; she only obeyed.
Such a conversation made Ji Lian’s heart tremble suddenly.
Obviously, her terrible speculation… had come true.
Ji Lian couldn’t bear to imagine the current plight of the elf girl.
Perhaps she was barely breathing, on the verge of losing half her life?
Perhaps…
“Ji Lian.”
“Ji Lian?”
Ji Yu Su gently called out her younger sister’s name.
However, for some reason, the latter seemed to be in a daze, and it wasn’t until Ji Yu Su called again that the girl hurriedly and nervously responded.
“I-I’m here!”
“Sister, what do you command?”
Ji Yu Su shook her head, and a faint smile played on her lips.
Rarely did she gaze at her younger sister with such seriousness today.
In a calm tone, she said, “A gift. Thank you.”
—”She… is very smooth.”
