Unfortunately, Ji Yu Su still had her responsibilities today.
Otherwise, she really wanted to stick to Sherya’s side all the time.
To explore more… the secrets belonging to the elf girl.
After lunch, Ji Yu Su had someone escort Sherya back to her room.
Listening to the fading sound of the crisp bell, Ji Yu Su’s mood instantly plummeted from joy to annoyance.
On the other hand, Sherya breathed a sigh of relief, and even her steps became light and relaxed.
After all, spending lunch with Ji Yu Su, the villainous female lead, was truly “Alexander”!
If Sherya remembered correctly, in the middle of the original torturous story, there was a scene where Ji Yu Su treated Sherya as a “body feast”…
Flowers and delicacies adorned the elf girl with her icy skin and jade-like bones.
Pale pink translucent slices of sashimi, dipped in her tears, were swallowed together.
It was hard not to have one’s appetite opened in various senses.
The specific mistakes made by the elf princess in the original work, Sherya couldn’t quite remember them now.
Anyway, following the tone of the original, the elf princess who never yielded, with a stubborn attitude and a strong-willed yet soft body, would always anger the unpredictable female lead, Ji Yu Su.
Then came the storyline that readers enjoyed, where the “Sherya” character was bullied to a tearful state.
Sherya still remembered her feelings at that time; she had really immersed herself in it.
The more she read, the more uncomfortable she felt, but she still wanted to continue.
She looked forward to the day when the “Sherya” in the story could escape Ji Yu Su’s clutches, preferably with revenge, making the detestable Ji Yu Su taste the bitterness of being enslaved and humiliated!
Presently, she still harbored such expectations.
But she would definitely choose a smarter approach.
At least she wouldn’t continue to confront head-on like in the original, acting foolishly.
When it was time to yield, the girl wouldn’t hesitate for a moment.
Don’t ask, she was just afraid of pain!
Sherya was not a fool, nor was she a pussy!
………………
Ji Yu Su returned to her desk to deal with the various troublesome matters she had to explain before leaving Fericis.
These were related to the final complications in the occupied city.
Sherya, under the guidance of unfamiliar maids, returned to Ji Yu Su’s sleeping quarters with a jingling sound.
This time, she did not face any unfair treatment.
Perhaps the head maid had given specific instructions to her subordinates.
They were to be careful and not provoke the current eldest lady’s most favored…”toy.”
Lily Ji, under the maid’s orders, was also instructed to take care of and accompany Sherya, who was alone.
Being young and having a simple mind, she had never thought of “female matters,” making her suitable for the task.
Coincidentally, Lily Ji was also curious about what happened after Sherya and Ji Lian were summoned by the eldest lady.
The blonde maid behaved meekly in front of others.
But once alone, she quickly approached the bored Sherya.
“…!”
Sherya, who was originally lying on the soft bed, swaying a pair of small snow cones in a bored manner, suddenly perked up at the sound from the door.
The elf girl was afraid it might be the female lead Ji Yu Su returning.
If she were to see her on the bed in such an improper and unslavish manner, she might immediately write down a few big characters of “rectitude” for her!
Never did Sherya expect it to be Lily Ji who entered.
The moment Lily Ji saw Sherya, she noticed the collar around her delicate neck.
And on that collar, there was a peach-colored jade bell that jingled with the girl’s movements.
“Wow! It’s so pretty!”
“Is it a gift from Ji Yu Su!”
Lily Ji, finding it beautiful, asked with envy.
Little did she know that she had hit a sore spot for the girl.
“…”
Sherya felt a sudden discomfort, her breathing becoming rapid.
She really wanted to ask.
“Would you want such a gift if it were given to you?”
Immediately, the delicate elf girl turned her head away, showing signs of being upset.
Lily Ji, not a fool herself, quickly realized that Sherya was annoyed.
Feeling a bit flustered, Lily Ji hurriedly ran to the side of the little elf, apologizing and explaining.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
“I…I didn’t think that much.”
But now she did, and Lily Ji understood.
The collar and the bell hanging from it happened to be symbols of Sherya’s most humiliating and helpless moments.
It meant that she could never escape the shackles represented by this collar in her lifetime.
Forever…she could only live as the eldest lady’s forbidden plaything!
Until she was bored with her.
As an exotic servant, Lily Ji had a low status in the Ji family and faced discrimination.
But at least she had the right to resign and the identity and qualifications to live a normal life in the Eastern Empire and its affiliated countries and colonies.
The more Lily Ji thought about it, the more she felt sorry for Sherya.
Wow, I really deserve to die!
It’s the kind of regret that makes you want to give yourself a little slap in the face even in the middle of the night!
Sherya, rather than being angry, was more sad.
She didn’t know what Lily Ji thought.
But on Sherya’s side, she considered Lily Ji as a naive and innocent child, a role like a younger sister, and even… a “friend.”
Apart from Ji Yu Su and Ji Lian, Lily Ji was the only person she knew in this otherworld.
So, her words were more important than those of others.
And they were more likely to leave painful scars in people’s hearts.
However, Sherya, with the soul of an adult inside her body—even though she hadn’t stepped out of school and was still pure and inexperienced—had the ability to regulate her emotions.
Under Lily Ji’s apology, she quickly chose to forgive her.
The girl raised the writing board in her hand, and on it was written:
—Forget it… because Lily Ji is a fool.
Lily Ji opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to retort.
But in the end, she compromised, muttering softly.
“Fool is fool, as long as Sherya forgives me, that’s all that matters…”
As she spoke, Lily Ji suddenly hugged Sherya tightly from behind.
Tie tie~
Lily Ji’s world was still pure; she just felt that it was so good that Sherya forgave her, so she wanted to give her a hug!
Sherya, on the other hand, didn’t resist the embrace of the blonde maid.
It was different from Ji Yu Su and Ji Lian.
There was a clumsy warmth to it.
However, Sherya only enjoyed the girl’s embrace for a moment before coming to her senses.
She couldn’t fall into the gentle embrace of this little girl!
She still had serious matters to attend to!
That was to find Ji Lian again!
Otherwise, Sherya’s lack of favorability, who would help her raise it?
No matter what, today she had to max out Ji Lian’s fifty percent favorability!
Then she could activate the hugging task system and reach the pinnacle of elf life!
