“Uh, ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍well, it’s actually not that serious…” Lilia tried to explain.

This ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍really wasn’t magic backlash, big sis!

“Not ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍that serious?” Camilla was so annoyed by her nonchalant attitude that she laughed in anger.

In ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Camilla’s understanding, this level of limb trembling and muscle weakness was clearly a sign that the Magic Circuits were severely damaged and the body’s functions were on the verge of collapse.

If ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍things went badly, this little fox might end up crippled for life.

At that thought, the bit of jealousy in Camilla’s heart suddenly became dull and meaningless.

Although she really hated this human who had stolen Hera’s attention, although she dreamed of driving this little girl out of the Palace of Eternal Night and monopolizing the Queen’s favor herself.

But…

Losing to a lunatic who could even throw away her life didn’t seem that disgraceful after all?

“Alright, stop pretending.”

Camilla impatiently waved her hand, interrupting Lilia who was still trying to fabricate excuses.

She glanced around, making sure there were no annoying spies nearby, before mysteriously reaching into her dimensional pocket—who knew where it was hidden.

After a rustling sound of rummaging—

Camilla pulled out a small box tightly wrapped in the hide of some unknown magical beast and, without explanation, stuffed it into Lilia’s hands.

The box was heavy and still carried body warmth.

“This… what is this?” Lilia looked completely dumbfounded.

Wasn’t this plot development a bit off?

According to the script, shouldn’t Camilla be taking advantage of her weakness to finish her off, ruthlessly mocking her, then stepping over her corpse to rise to the top?

Why had it suddenly turned into a heartwarming route?

“Just take it!” Camilla glared at her fiercely, yet two inexplicable blushes rose on her cheeks.

“This is a secret medicine.”

Her voice became somewhat vague, and her eyes darted around, clearly showing that giving this away was no small psychological hurdle for her.

“I originally kept it for myself for later…” She paused, as if realizing what she was about to say sounded unlucky, and quickly spat twice.

“Anyway, your half-dead look is an eyesore! Hurry and take it back and use it. Don’t end up dying halfway and making Her Majesty collect your corpse!”

Lilia lowered her head and looked at the box. A rich, somewhat pungent herbal smell seeped through the beast hide into her nose.

Aside from that, there was also an indescribable… fishy-sweet scent?

“What’s… inside?” Lilia asked cautiously.

She had a very ominous premonition.

“It’s a supplement.” Camilla lowered her voice, a hint of reluctance in her tone. “Specially for… for situations where someone is overexhausted and their body has been drained.”

Lilia: “…”

Overexhausted? Drained?

In a certain sense, Camilla really had a sharp eye for people.

“This thing can quickly repair damaged… vitality.” Seeing Lilia’s ever-changing expression, Camilla thought she was moved by the precious gift.

She turned her face away, snorted, and arrogantly lifted her chin.

“Don’t misunderstand, I’m not caring about you.”

“I just don’t want Her Majesty to be distracted because of a weakling like you. If you really become useless, who’s going to help Her Majesty deal with all those messes? Are we supposed to rely on those good-for-nothing gluttons?”

“And besides…”

Camilla’s gaze returned to Lilia, a complex glint flashing in her purple eyes.

“Even though you, this fox spirit, are annoying, at least… you’re a little better than those backstabbers.”

“This stuff is very potent. Only take a small spoonful at a time. Don’t be greedy, or if you over-supplement, you’ll… cough, you’ll feel very uncomfortable.”

After saying this, as if afraid Lilia would refuse—or afraid she might regret it—Camilla turned and left immediately.

The sound of her high heels on the stone floor was hurried and chaotic, and her purple skirt quickly disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Leaving Lilia alone holding the box, completely bewildered in the wind.

“…”

Lilia looked down at the box in her hands.

Although the misunderstanding was quite big, this thing… really did seem to be for nourishing the body? And she happened to need it.

“Still not leaving?”

A cold voice suddenly came from ahead, startling Lilia so much that her hand shook, almost throwing the priceless supplement away.

She abruptly looked up.

Hera had stopped at some point and was now standing at the end of the corridor in the shadows, half-turned toward her.

Those golden eyes held no obvious emotion, yet it felt as if they had taken in everything that had just happened.

“I—I’m coming!”

Lilia hurriedly stuffed the box into her apron pocket and ran after her.

Hera didn’t move.

“What did Camilla give you?”

Only when Lilia finally ran up, panting, did Hera turn around and continue walking forward, casually asking.

“Ah? Uh…”

Lilia’s heart tightened.

“Just… some local specialty.” Lilia lied casually. “She said it was compensation for a work injury.”

“Work injury?”

Hera stopped, turned her head, and looked at her with a half-smile.

That look…

No matter how you saw it, it wasn’t proper.

“Seems like last night still wasn’t enough effort.” Hera’s slender fingers lightly brushed across Lilia’s chin. Her fingertips were slightly cool, yet they brought a tingling shiver that made her scalp numb.

“You really should ‘supplement’ yourself properly.”

Lilia: “!!!”

Help! What kind of wolf-and-tiger words are these?!

Before she could figure out how to kneel and beg for mercy, the system that had been playing dead all day suddenly revived in her mind.

【Ding——】

【Detected that the host has obtained a rare item: “Succubus Grand Duke’s Supplement (Enhanced Version)”】

【Item Description: Specifically treats all kinds of kidney deficiency, physical depletion, sore waist and knees, and post-activity fatigue. A must-have medicine for Abyss nobility at home or while traveling, and after killing and looting.】

【System Prompt: When used together with the “Conjoined Heart Lock” ring, the effect will be even better, dear~】

Lilia’s vision went dark.

Looking at Lilia’s face, which instantly flushed red then turned green, Hera seemed to be in an even better mood.

She didn’t press further, merely waved her hand lightly.

“Since it’s Camilla’s goodwill, then keep it.”

A meaningful smile lingered in Hera’s voice as she turned and walked toward the Bedchamber.

“Tonight, you can try its effects.”

Lilia froze in place, listening to the gradually fading sound of high heels, only feeling that the box in her hands had become even hotter to hold.

Try… try its effects?

How could this be something you just casually try?!

This was going to supplement her to death!
