154: How Did Things End Up Like This?
Things, why did they have to turn out this way?
Surrounded by water mist and filled with holy light in the bathroom, Evelia sat dazedly in the pristine white bathtub. The steaming milk just happened to soak to the level of her collarbone. Milky-white water droplets dripped one by one from the ends of her hair into the bathtub, looking quite tempting.
However, no matter how comfortable the milk bath was, Evelia didn't have the mood to properly enjoy it right now. Her eyes were vacant, her face full of a look as if she had nothing left to live for. She had clearly fallen into a state of withdrawal.
Being invited by Dear Noren and the others to stay overnight and have a small nighttime party, that was a nice thing. Being pushed and shoved into taking a milk bath, that should have also been a nice thing.
But, could someone tell her...
Evelia expressionlessly turned her head and silently gazed at that scumbag angel clinging tightly to her like an octopus behind her back. In her heart, she screamed at the top of her lungs.
Why is Amya here too!!!
……
The cause of all this had to be traced back to when everyone had just evacuated back to Noren's Mansion.
When the girls had just arrived at the mansion's gate, Dear Noren had already come fluttering back on her wings. Clearly, unleashing Super-Tier Magic in the city suburbs was entirely the result of Noren getting too heated up during the fight. She herself felt quite guilty about it afterward.
See? The moment the collision ended, she had rushed back without stopping.
However, our Dear Noren also had her own little calculations in her heart. She didn't tell everyone about seeing the true face beneath the cloaked figure's mask, nor did she reveal to Lina that the cloaked figure was actually her older sister.
Our innocent and naive Dear Noren's thinking was: since she had already offended her future sister-in-law once, she definitely had to find a way to win back her favor! Otherwise, what if she didn't agree to this matter between herself and Lina later?
She had gone through great lengths, using methods like acting cute, rolling around, playing the adorable card, and even sharing a bed, to finally persuade her own mother to agree to this matter. If she messed it up again because she got too heated up in the moment, she would really cry out loud!
As for why she didn't tell Lina... of course it was because Noren had been taught since childhood to take responsibility for her own actions. Trouble she caused herself definitely had to be handled by herself! At worst, she would tell Lina after she won back the favor of that future sister-in-law later~
The only thing giving Noren a headache was that for this matter, she would definitely have to go out a few more times during this period. For someone like her, an ultimate shut-in who basically didn't step outside the mansion for most of the year, this was simply fatal torture!
But there was no helping it. Who told her to go blasting people with Super-Tier Magic at the drop of a hat? The abuse she created, she ultimately had to swallow the bitter water herself!
Sigh (╥﹏╥)...

Fortunately, Evelia and the others didn't have any suspicions about Noren's somewhat crying expression after she returned. Their attention was all focused on the matter of Noren releasing Super-Tier Magic! Therefore, the moment they entered the door, the three girls surrounded Noren in a circle and severely lectured her for over half an hour, while Lola snickered and Alice looked puzzled.
Super-Tier Magic, even in the Divine Era when mysticism flourished, was absolutely top-tier magic. Once activated, destroying a city was the starting point! And Noren actually dared to publicly release it in the city suburbs! If that cloaked figure hadn't also used Super-Tier Magic to counteract it, let alone the nearby orphanage, I'm afraid the entire North District of Wangyou City, along with more than half of the West District, would have been obliterated by Noren's single『Death Eternal Life』!
And just as they were conducting their joint scolding, our maid Miss Lola quietly left the mansion to handle the aftermath of this incident.
There was no helping it. The impact of Super-Tier Magic was too great. Both the Watchers and the Church had definitely been alerted. There might even be some ordinary people who shouldn't have known about magic who detected the strange celestial phenomena that appeared when Super-Tier Magic was deployed!
If that were truly the case, then the Watchers and the Church would probably go completely crazy.
If some special footage had been recorded... not to mention anything else, the Watchers would absolutely be running around the city biting people like mad dogs for the next two days.
All of this was workload...
Therefore, at this time, Lola, this professional maid, had to take action.
Her bat familiars would help her monitor the situation in reality and on the internet. Once she discovered someone discussing this matter, and that person had clearly seen something they shouldn't have, Lola would strike hard, immediately going offline to dox them and, in the process, administer a large-scale memory erasure spell.
Don't misunderstand. Lola wasn't doing this to help reduce the workload for the Watchers and the Church. For her, only Her Highness the Princess's safety was always the first priority.
The reason she proactively helped with the aftermath was because if the impact of this incident really became too great, then the Watchers or the Church would very likely dispatch some very impressive specialists to investigate this matter.
For example, that elusive Chief of the Watchers, and the Church's Cardinals.
Those were all people with the ability to detect the existence of this mansion.
At that time, even if Lola could protect Noren and Lina, their peaceful and beautiful daily life would definitely be broken.
Noren wouldn't want to see such a thing happen.
Therefore, Lola took action.
Regarding this, our Miss Evelia silently gave Lola a thumbs up.
Undoubtedly, Lola's judgment was absolutely correct. Not to mention anything else, just the person Evelia saw on her way back was enough to prove her judgment.
That was Mo Wuyou of the Watchers, someone who had had numerous contacts with Evelia. When Evelia saw him, this usually rather casual Watcher had a face full of seriousness and resentment. He had only thrown a coat over his pajamas before rushing non-stop toward the suburbs.
And from the movements of his lips, he was probably cursing very foully.
However, there was still one problem at hand. As the mansion's only maid, after Lola left, who would be responsible for the mansion's affairs?
The answer was simple. Wasn't there still that High Elf Miss?
Honestly speaking, Evelia had originally thought that Alice herself was an underage Elf and had lived a life of luxury in the Elf Forest, so it should have been quite difficult for her to be a good maid.
But the reality was that whether it was the method of preparing tea and snacks, or preparing the milk and flower petals for Evelia and the others' bath in advance, Alice did everything quite perfectly.
She really didn't know whether to say her talent was high, or that Lola's trai(meow)ning was effective...
Already her whole body was in the shape of a maid (sad).
