sword, Earl."Before the Count could react, the holy paladin's righteous voice boomed behind him.He stood on the other side of the light, his silver armor gleaming with a golden sheen from the sun. In...Chapter 181: Talia will eventually figure out what he's thinking.

The second floor of Cat Boss Restaurant, Talia's house. {Google search}

The ceiling, constructed of wooden planks and rafters, is adorned with a glass skylight. Its slanted angle gives the living room the feeling of a veranda where one can gaze at the stars.

On this quiet night, sitting in her home, looking up is like being bathed in the brilliance of the Milky Way.

The delicate wood grain on the wall carries a sense of calmness, and the warm-toned furnishings can also warm people's hearts.

Originally, Taliya's house had only a recliner and a chair in her bedroom that matched her desk.

But later, I don't know what day it was, a chair appeared in the living room.

It seems like it was bought for Lanchi by her.

Now, Lanche is having Huberlian sit in that chair while he stands beside her.

He would not touch Talia's personal belongings without her permission, such as entering her bedroom or using her recliner.

Moonlight and starlight streamed through the glass skylight, bathing the interior in a soft, warm yellow glow that danced around the wooden beam bookshelf. The scent diffuser on the chest of drawers emitted a layered fragrance of milk, magnolia, and distilled alcohol.

"Miss Tata's home, it feels so safe and cozy."

Huperlyan gazed at the Ikterite starry sky, sighing.

She even recalled that if Talia and the great poet were to stand together now, they would be indistinguishable twins.

Perhaps because she had spent a long time with the poet of great love, Huberlyan inexplicably felt a sense of kinship towards Talia when she saw her.

"This is the reliability of older women."

Lance smiled and said.

However, the next second as the sound of the door lock was heard, Ranche, who had been gracefully and elegantly conversing with Huberly, immediately retracted his smile and pretended that he hadn't been talking to her at all.

Tallia pushed open the door and scanned the room with her golden eyes, taking in Hyberian seated nervously on a chair and Lanche, meticulously neat as ever.

“……”

It seems like we'll need to buy another chair for the house.

Tallia pondered for a moment.

She didn't stare at Huberlian for long, not wanting to attract Lanche's attention.

Although Talya fantasized about keeping Hubert here with her, it was clearly impossible.

A duchess couldn't just move in to a stranger's house.

They probably just want to ask her something or inquire about last time's shadow world.

However, since I've already seen Huberlian today.

Then you'll have the opportunity to get to know her slowly and invite her to come to your place often.

If you have any business with me, please contact me.

Talya's question, as always, lacked a questioning tone.

"My classmate has been targeted by an assassin, Tatta. Can you help protect her Because the information source isn't normal, I can only trust you."

Lance and Talia have always been straightforward and honest.

How to protect

Talya was puzzled. How did this guy always seem to know about danger

To this day, Talia still doesn't understand who wanted to kill Lance in the first place.

Now, Result Ranch is telling her that someone wants to kill Huberlian.

...and it turned out to be true.

Let her stay here with you for a while, no more than two weeks.

Lancy pleaded earnestly with his eyes.

Taliya was stunned when she heard this.

She was a little suspicious that she might have misheard something.

She quickly recovered.

What are the benefits

Taliya's attitude remained as cold as ever. She asked.

Unconditional agreement would certainly raise Lanche's suspicion, so she has to symbolically propose a trade.

No matter what Ranch promises, she can agree to it when the time comes.

Since she met Lance, her life has been like a complete turnaround for the better.

Even if you stay home and do nothing, your wishes can come true.

Could this be what humans call "happiness"

"……"

Lance took a slight glance at Talia, not speaking rashly.

Taliya's response was better than expected.

Since Talia is willing to negotiate instead of outright rejecting the offer, it means she isn't averse to the idea as long as the price is right.

"Although it is a promise that cannot be fulfilled for now, if you protect Hubbleian well, you will gain the friendship of the Duke of Alansar. Within two years, you will become a distinguished guest and advisor to the ducal family."

Lanche Day-Hughes said.

The value of a duke's connections cannot be measured in money.

However, that assumes the Duke can return, or Huberlyan can inherit the dukedom.

"In the name of House Al-Ansar, I promise you, Miss Tatta."

Hughbert also bowed deeply to Talia and pledged his loyalty.

Talya just stared at them, silent, unable to speak for a moment.

She didn't know what trouble Huberlian had gotten into that would make them both beg her like this.

What Talia didn't understand was, what had gotten into Lance's head It seemed like he was trying to plunge headlong into chaos to find the Duke of Mygaya.

And the orchid didn't know.

She has always wanted to find her important sister.

It was after encountering Lanci that she inadvertently discovered clues about her sister, Efaitia, from Lanci's shadow realm challenge—a half-demon girl similar to her sister, Huberlian.

Later, observing Huberly in secret, she was sure that Huberly was Ephitha's daughter.

This gave Talya, who had originally seen no hope, a vitally important goal.

Catalya didn't expect that Lance would go even further. He seemed to want the Duke's family to be reunited.

Let him keep looking.

Perhaps she was simply enjoying those leisurely days, melting away in the bliss of it all, when her sister suddenly reappeared thanks to Lynch.

"Tata, I will do my best to keep this promise."

Randy saw that Talia was unmoved, so he added.

"

“…”

" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Hearing Lanche's voice, Talia shifted her gaze away from its usual impassiveness.

At this moment, her eyes were filled with a complex mix of gratitude, confusion, movedness, and resentment.

She thanks Ranch for the good things he has brought her.

But, I definitely don't want to have too many grievances with a human.

Finally, until Talia gradually calmed her mind.

Let's go.

Talya stood up and said.

"Guess it doesn't work..."

Hubert, who had been nervously awaiting Miss Tattle's reply, went limp with disappointment.

Of course, having a demon dwell in one's home, even for Ranchi's teacher, would be too much to ask.

"Go to school and get your laundry. Also, you need to buy some daily necessities and pillows and bedding. I only have one quilt here."

Tallia walked to the door, grasped the doorknob and turned it, while muttering softly.

"Thank you...Miss Tata..."

Hubberley said blankly.

Listening to Ranchi's description of Miss Tata, she had always felt that Miss Tata should be a very scary person. Unexpectedly, she was so gentle.

"...."？

Originally, he was already considering his next planned ranch. He suddenly stopped his train of thought in surprise.

He parted his lips slightly, watching Talia's retreating figure.

Could that single demoness, who has been unmarried for hundreds of years and is considered problematic because she's older, possibly be so agreeable

He actually let Huberly stay, and from the sound of it, he's even planning on giving her half the bed! He didn't make her sleep on the floor or on a couch or anything.

Rance pondered, taking out the "Great Love Poet" card. He frowned, glancing at it to make sure he wasn't being tricked by a fake Talia.

"... "

" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

However, Talia seemed to have sensed something.

She turned back and stared at Lance.

What does it mean that this jerk is holding up the [Great Love Poet] card and staring at it right now

He may look innocent on the surface, but his mind is definitely running through a million terrible things!

One day, she will be able to read this boy's mind.

Don't let her catch you!
