Their world doesn't need gods.

Chapter 188 Liliana, trying to evade the question with a confession (3)

Although she usually behaves very heroically, which is in line with the image of a heroine born in Christiana's family, this is actually Liliana's true nature.

A silly girl who is a little bit stupid, but naive and sometimes too serious.

Looking at Liliana like this, Alfred couldn't help but rub her head.

"Hehehe~ During the short holiday at the end of this semester, I'm going to go home and report this to my mother and sister~ Now, I can make an engagement with you, Al~ Hehehe~ That's great!"

Liliana was lost in her own world and said this a little too happily.

"There's no need to be so anxious... And getting engaged right now might be a hassle."

Alfred replied helplessly.

"Woo! Al~ Are you afraid that Sister Rose will be unhappy, so you want to find an excuse to fool me?"

Liliana puffed up her cheeks unhappily, moved her little face closer, and looked at Alfred suspiciously.

“No! I think Duke Milinda and Sister Violet haven’t told you those things yet.”

Alfred felt a little troubled, wondering how to explain it to Liliana.

Now in the palace, the third prince Charles, who has the first right of succession to the throne, has started a battle for the throne with the eleventh princess Erica, who has the second right of succession to the throne.

Both of them began to actively win over powerful nobles and form factions to support their ascension to the throne.

If the news came out at this juncture that Alfred from the Elect family and Liliana from the Christiana family were to marry, it would definitely stimulate them who were busy fighting for power in the palace.

Alfred always felt that doing so would cause considerable trouble and distress to his father Ron and Liliana's mother Milenda.

After all, Liliana is the daughter of the Duke. As long as she is willing to explain it carefully, she will be able to clearly understand the interests involved.

"Wow~! I get it... Then, let's keep the engagement thing for now. But~!"

Liliana raised her index finger towards Alfred, pointing at him and making a serious request.

"Al, you should at least tell me. I want to live with you and Rose. The three of us can rent a dormitory together at school. I will discuss it with Rose, and you can't refuse!"

"Eh?! But..."

Liliana's request was so sudden that Alfred was a little overwhelmed.

"What's there to worry about? Even if we don't get engaged now, we'll still get married in the future... woo!"

Liliana felt inexplicably shy about the word "marriage". She stuttered for a long time but couldn't utter the word.

She blushed and gave up, yelling at Alfred.

"Anyway, that's it. There's nothing wrong with us living together now, right?!"

“Pfft, I understand…”

Liliana looked so adorable that Alfred couldn't help but laugh.

But he suddenly thought of Emilia, and his expression froze for a moment.

(Wait, wait a minute, how am I going to explain Emilia to Rose and Lily?! If they knew that Emilia always cuddled me to sleep...)

Alfred suddenly had a picture in his mind of Rose and Liliana showing very gloomy smiles and chasing him with bloody knives...

"Anything else? Al, your expression suddenly becomes weird!"

Liliana put her face close to Alfred and questioned him dissatisfiedly.

"No, nothing. It's just that if we were to live together, there would definitely be a lot of troublesome preparations. So let's talk about this later, okay?"

Anyway, let's just get this matter over with for now. With this thought in mind, Alfred showed a serious expression and brought the topic that was deliberately diverted by Liliana back on track.

Since she was a child, Liliana has liked to change the subject in unexpected ways and avoid things she doesn't want to mention.

If it were any other time, Alfred would just go along with Liliana's wishes and let the topic pass.

But this time things were different.

Alfred said nothing and asked her to tell him everything she knew.

"I have already answered your question, Lily. Now can you tell me why you happened to be there when Sister Rose was in danger?"

"I told you about this, Al... It was just a coincidence, a coincidence..."

Liliana, who had been so tough at first, immediately responded like a deflated balloon, stammering.

She turned her head slightly to avoid Alfred's sight, looking extremely guilty.

"Lily, I don't want you to take on anything dangerous by yourself, so tell me, okay?"

Alfred stroked Liliana's cheek with his hand, half-forcing her to look in his direction.

"B-but...I..."

After hesitating for a while, Liliana gently wiped her tearful eyes.

"Um... Al, will you believe me?"

"That's natural."

"Then do you know where the space ring I gave to Sister Rose is now? I...I have something I want to show you."

?◇?◇?◇?◇?

Sheryl is a reincarnated being.

But unlike ordinary reincarnations, she has the memories of two past lives at the same time.

She should be considered as Sheryl in her previous life. She was born in a relatively peaceful world and once had an ordinary and warm family.

Cheryl's parents love her very much, and she also has a silly sister who is always causing problems but is very cute.

The only problem is Sheryl's brother.

Even as an older sister, she thought her brother was a pretty bad guy.

In this family that would have been perfect without her younger brother, Sheryl spent twenty-one happy years.

Until her stupid sister ran away from home because of a quarrel with their mother.

Although she said she ran away from home, the girl actually just moved from her home to the apartment rented by Sheryl.

But my sister unfortunately died in a traffic accident on the way here.

My parents quarreled with each other because of this matter and finally got to the point of divorce.

And that bad little brother got into big trouble at school and was even taken to the police station.

Since then, Sheryl has gradually become estranged from her family, and in the end they have almost no contact.
