Chapter 88 Liliana longs to become stronger! (1)

Although Michelle invited her in generously, Liliana had no idea how to enter the room.

There is not even a place to stand.

"The room is a little messy, please don't mind."

"This is not just a bit chaotic..."

Liliana was so dumbfounded that she couldn't help but complain aloud.

She skipped around the empty space in the room and managed to find a spot to sit down where the sofa should be.

Michelle took the drink out of the refrigerator and threw it directly to her.

"I don't know where the tea set went, and the tea leaves... well, I don't think I'll be able to find them for a while. Anyway, Liliana-san, just take this for now."

"Teacher Michelle, is this really okay with you... Oh, I understand."

Liliana held the cold glass bottle and couldn't help but sigh.

Because Alfred's mother, Mrs. Carolina's laboratory had a similar situation in the past.

So instead of being surprised, Liliana now felt more helpless.

"So, why did you come to see me so late?"

Michelle pulled a chair and sat in front of Liliana, asking her why she came.

This made Liliana feel nervous.

"A serious student like you, Liliana, would not break the curfew and deliberately violate school rules to enter the main castle late at night unless there is a special reason, right?"

Michelle said as she opened her drink and started drinking.

"Uh... well, I..."

Liliana was very hesitant and didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment.

Michelle didn't urge her, but waited silently for her to sort out her thoughts.

After a moment, Liliana mustered up her courage.

"Teacher Michelle... I want to become stronger, can you please guide me?"

"...Liliana-san, you actually want me to give you combat guidance~ But as you can see, I am a researcher with no combat ability, so I have no way to guide you in combat."

Michelle pointed at herself and chuckled as if she was mocking herself.

"Mister Michelle Q. Tolia, please guide me."

Liliana ignored Michelle's answer, said her full name, and bowed her head to ask.

“…Hahaha, Liliana-san, how did you know my full name? Did that damned Violet tell you secretly?”

Michelle raised her eyebrows slightly and asked as if she was very happy.

"This, this is not what onee-sama told me..."

Liliana shrank away from Michelle's gaze, trying to avoid answering the question.

“In that case, how did you know of my existence? Except for Violet, the nobles of the empire should have thought I was dead.

And I think I did a good job hiding my identity, and Sister Alberta also helped. Liliana, who told you that I am Michelle Q. Tolia?"

Michelle's aura changed slightly, leaving Liliana at a loss as to what to do for a moment.

I don’t know if it was intentional to intimidate Liliana.

Michelle deliberately removed her magical disguise at this time, showing her unique pointed ears as a half-elf.

Michelle Q. Tolia, the former fourth princess of the Kingdom of Altria, one of the empire's western neighbors.

She is also Liliana's older sister, and a senior student with whom Violet had a very good relationship when she was studying at Illya Arya Academy.

A few years ago, due to the change of the throne of Altria, Michelle, who was still studying in the empire, was involved in the turmoil of succession rights and was ultimately unable to return to her motherland.

While stranded in the empire, she was assassinated by assassins sent by the new queen of Altria and eventually died in a foreign land.

This is a nominal statement.

The actual situation is that Michelle escaped the assassin's pursuit, and with the help of Violet, she faked her death and completely hid her identity, and remained in the research department of Illya Alia Academy.

Before Michelle changed her identity, many nobles in the empire had always hoped to win over and retain this foreign princess who was low in the line of succession to the throne of her homeland.

The reason is the extraordinary strength that Michelle demonstrated during her school years.

In the words of Liliana's sister, Violet:

If Michelle had really been willing to stay in the Empire, the person who would have won the title of Valkyrie would definitely not have been me, but senior Michelle who is far better than me.

That's why Liliana wanted to ask Michelle to train her.

If it was her who even her sister admired, she would definitely become strong, strong enough to protect the important Alfred and Rose.

However, Liliana soon encountered her first problem.

That is, she didn't know how to explain the fact that she learned Michelle's true identity.

Because the process was a bit bizarre, Liliana was not sure whether Michelle would believe her story, and now the only evidence left was nowhere to be found.

"Why, is it inconvenient to answer? Or..."

"No, Mr. Michelle, you may not believe it. In fact, when I was looking up information in the library this afternoon, I accidentally found a very old book."

Liliana hesitantly explained what happened.

This afternoon, she went to the library to look for information in order to find ways to enhance her own strength.

By the way, investigate and verify what Edward wrote in his notebook.

But she accidentally discovered a very strange book.

Among the rows of bookcases, this was the only book covered in dust, as if no one had used it for a long time.

This is very unnatural.

Generally speaking, the library administrator will use magic props to clean the entire library regularly, including the dust on the books and any insects that may appear.

Liliana felt very concerned and took out the book.

There is nothing special about the content of the book. It just records a period of school history from more than ten years ago, and the content seems to be written by students at that time.

However, there was a faded magic photo tucked inside the last page of the book.

The protagonists of the photo are Liliana's sister Violet, and... Michelle.

Combining the information Violet had revealed to her in the past, various news circulating in the empire, and some unfounded speculation, Liliana believed that Michelle was the senior that her sister had admired.

"Oh, I see. So that's how it is."

Michelle put her fingers on her chin and responded with a cute voice.
