Seeing Liliana completely dazed, as if a bomb had just gone off inside her head, Karen shook her head helplessly.
It was precisely because Liliana always reacted like this that Karen felt she had no choice but to step in herself.
"Lady Liliana, didn't you hear clearly?"
"I said that I have already ford a man-and-woman relationship with Lord Sai Akuto."
Karen replied calmly.
"And it was precisely because of Lord Akuto's guidance that I was able to beco a mid-rank magician so quickly."
In truth, Akuto had only recently unlocked several new abilities.
If he had possessed the Bloodline Infusion thod earlier, Karen's growth would have been even more dramatic.
With the advancent of the Sacred Lance, Akuto's realm had not yet fully broken through, but his power had already stabilized at a level capable of dominating the human world of the Godslayer universe.
Because of that, he finally had spare initial ability slots available to exchange for other abilities.
For example:
Irregular Chess Pieces.
The Bloodline Infusion thod.
The Myriad Worlds Reincarnation Pool.
Normally, using an Irregular Chess Piece alone would already raise a follower's strength to a respectable level.
But with Bloodline Infusion added, Akuto could further influence and strengthen his followers through his own bloodline, allowing their magical potential to expand dramatically.
Of course, neither Karen nor Liliana knew any of this yet.
"H-huh?!"
"You… you… how is that possible?! Karen, didn't you only arrive yesterday?"
"You must be joking!"
Liliana's face twisted into a mixture of panic and disbelief.
"Lady Liliana, do I look like soone who would joke about sothing like this?"
"You're right. I only had one night."
"Last night, I served Lord Akuto as his attendant for the entire evening."
Karen spoke with complete composure, simply stating the facts.
She had actually intended to reveal the truth later.
Originally, she planned to confess everything when she and Liliana were serving Akuto together.
But now that Erica Blandelli had appeared as a potential rival, Karen felt there was no longer any need to hide it.
"Lady Liliana, you still don't believe ?"
Karen sighed softly.
"Karen! And Lord Akuto too…!"
"How can things move that fast?!"
"At the very least, shouldn't people get to know each other first?" Liliana protested.
"Lady Liliana, you seem to have forgotten sothing."
"Didn't Lady Erica tell you before? Lord Akuto already knew quite a lot about us before we ever t him."
"So in reality, he had already decided who he intended to build relationships with."
Liliana froze.
When she thought about it carefully…
It actually made sense.
Perhaps Akuto wasn't acting impulsively at all. Instead, he had carefully chosen the people he wanted to bring close to him long before they ever t.
"Lady Liliana, you know… I envy you."
Karen looked at her quietly.
"Envy ?" Liliana blinked.
Karen nodded.
"Yes."
"Compared to the rest of us… you are the one closest to him."
Liliana fell silent.
Karen continued.
"Under normal circumstances, soone of my status would never have had the chance to serve Lord Akuto."
"The reason I even had such an opportunity… was largely because of you."
"Because I'm your attendant."
Liliana stared at her, speechless.
After a long pause, she finally said softly:
"…I'm sorry."
Karen imdiately shook her head with a smile.
"You don't need to apologize, Lady Liliana."
"If it weren't for you, I might never have even had the chance to et Lord Akuto."
"So although I do feel so envy… I'm also very grateful."
Liliana slowly leaned back, processing everything that had happened.
Thinking back over Karen's actions today, she realized that Karen truly had been trying to help her.
Helping her stand against Erica.
"Thank you, Karen."
"For now, words are the only way I can express my gratitude. But if there's ever anything I can do for you in the future…"
"I'll do everything I can."
Karen smiled again.
"You don't need to thank ."
"I'm not a saint."
"I have my own goals as well."
"Goals?" Liliana asked curiously.
Karen leaned closer and whispered sothing in her ear.
Liliana's face instantly turned bright red.
"W-what?! The three of us together?"
"I… I…"
After hesitating for a long mont, she lowered her voice.
"Well… if I do end up forming that kind of relationship with Lord Akuto soday…"
"…then maybe it wouldn't be impossible."
