“It’s none of your business.”

Lilith responded coldly and put the teacup down on the table.

The sharp sound of tea cups clashing echoed throughout the living room.

“Yeah, it’s none of my business. But you’re the one who failed to manage ‘Mya’ properly, Liris?”

Sepia scratched Lilith’s pride with sharp words, like a poisoned blade.

“…”

Lilith bit her lip.

Sephia wasn’t wrong.

If Sepia couldn’t find Mya,

And if Mya went to a more dangerous place other than the bathroom…

It was terrifying to even imagine.

Lilith clenched her fists without realizing it.

“But I cannot forgive you for daring to take Mya to your room.”

Lilith said with cold anger.

Her eyes were so sharp that they seemed to pierce sepia.

“That’s…”

Sephia was momentarily speechless.

I tried to make an excuse, but I couldn’t say anything due to Lilith’s murderous gaze.

“Once again, if you put even a finger on my daughter…”

Lilith did not finish her sentence.

However, Sephia could feel the eerie warning contained in Lilith’s words deep in her bones.

“If you understand, it’s okay.”

Lilith said coldly.

She felt a strange sense of anxiety mixed with cold anger.

‘Mya…’

The chaos this small, fragile being brought to his life was beyond imagination.

And Lilith now realized.

That he never wants to lose ‘Mya’.

I want to protect you from any threats.

“Are you going to go see the queen later? Are you going to tell me about ‘Mya’?”

Sepia said in a drowsy voice.

Her red eyes sparkled mischievously, but there was a sharp blade hidden inside them.

Lilith stared at Sepia without any response.

Although there was no change in her expression, her inner self was violently shaking at every word Sephia said.

‘also…’

I wasn’t surprised how Sephia knew that.

She had built a dense information network throughout the kingdom.

Lilith knew Sepia’s keen insight and intelligence better than anyone else.

The problem was the Queen’s reaction.

After first discovering ‘Mya’, Lilith constantly worried.

Should I inform the Queen of Mya’s existence, or should I keep it a secret?

The reason Lilith searched the forest in the first place was because of the Queen’s orders.

The Queen, who heard rumors of an unknown power, personally ordered an investigation.

As a result, Lilith met ‘Mya’.

If the queen finds out about the existence of ‘Mya’…

There will definitely be tremendous interest.

‘perhaps…’

Lilith couldn’t bear to continue her thoughts.

Judging by the queen’s personality, she will try to have ‘Mya’.

Lilith wanted to hide ‘Mya’ in her arms.

I didn’t want to lose it to anyone.

but…

It was impossible to keep it a secret from the Queen.

Especially since this search made everyone in the mansion aware of it, it was impossible to hide it.

Even if you have to crack down on people joining, it will only take a few days.

It was certain that one day, one way or another, it would reach the Queen’s ears.

At that time, Lilith will not be able to handle the Queen’s wrath.

‘What should I do?’

Lilith was deeply troubled.

Sephia may or may not know Lilith’s true intentions,

He was still looking at her with a relaxed smile.

“So, what is your opinion?”

Lilith asked in a low, cold voice.

It was a sharp gaze that seemed to see through Sepia’s intentions.

“Oh my, are you asking for my advice?”

Sepia slightly opened her red lips and smiled slyly.

He had a relaxed attitude, as if he was clearly looking into Lilith’s inner thoughts.

“I have no intention of playing trivial games with you, Sepia.”

Lilith spoke with cold anger.

I had no intention of falling for Sepia’s intentional provocation.

“It’s a trivial game, Lilith. It’s sad to hear.”

Sepia spoke as if she was hurt, but her eyes were still full of mischief.

It seemed like he was enjoying Lilith’s anger.

“Lilith, calm down. When did I ever give you harmful advice?”

Sepia spoke in a soothing, soothing voice.

But there was a sharp blade hidden inside.

“The queen who recently ascended the throne is still young and her power base is weak. I really need your help. But he has a childlike side and may not listen to you obediently.”

Sephia whispered softly.

“If the queen covets ‘Mya’… what will you do?”

Lilith couldn’t say anything to Sephia’s question.

As Sephia said, if the queen asks for ‘Mya’,

Lilith would not dare to disobey.

“But you can’t just hand it over, right? Isn’t that right?”

Sepia red eyes flashed.

“If you don’t want ‘Mya’ to be taken away by the Queen, you have to find another way.”

“Another way…?”

Lilith gave Sepia a questioning look.

“Okay. From the beginning, the ownership of ‘Mya’ was established firmly. This is to make sure the public knows that you are ‘Mya’.”

Sepia continued with a sinister smile.

“There is a good way. I’m uploading the video of ‘Mya’ on ‘MaTube’.”

“‘Matube’?”

“Okay. It’s the hottest video platform in the demon world these days. If you upload a video showing the cute appearance of ‘Mya’, the number of views will explode in an instant. The entire demon world will be crazy about ‘Mya’.”

Sephia smiled in satisfaction, as if everything was already going according to plan.

“If that happens… even the queen won’t be able to take ‘Mya’ away without permission. Because everyone will be watching.”

“……”

Lilith was speechless for a moment.

Sepia’s proposal was unexpected.

But at the same time, it could not be denied that it was an ingenious and effective method.

‘As expected, sepia…’

Lilith gave Sepia a complicated look.

It was a look that was a mixture of admiration, caution, and subtle discomfort.

As Sepia said, ‘Matube’ was the most influential medium in the demon world.

If the video of ‘Mya’ spreads through ‘MaTube’…

‘Mya’ is not just a pet, she could have become the idol of the entire demon world.

‘If so…’

Lilith was lost in thought.

No matter how foolish the Queen is, she will not be able to treat Mya carelessly with so many eyes watching.

Well, no matter how much the Queen of the Demon World tries to recklessly extort the property of her subjects, she will be disliked by both the nobles and the common people.

If she tried to take away ‘Mya’ by ignoring the public opinion of the nobility and common people, the queen’s authority could have been greatly damaged.

‘As Sepia said…’

Lilith had to admit that using ‘Matube’ was the most reliable way.

But at the same time, a part of my heart felt uncomfortable.

‘like…’

It was as if he was using ‘Mya’ to stand up to the queen.

Of course, according to Sepia’s words, we are assuming a situation where the queen covets ‘Mya’…

This would not have happened if ‘Mya’ had not been revealed to the world in the first place.

‘…’

Lilith spoke coldly, trying to hide her complex emotions.

“Good idea. I’ll do as you suggest.”

“Wise choice, Lilith.”

Sepia smiled with satisfaction.

Lilith looked into sepia red eyes and smiled bitterly.

‘also…’

Sepia’s suggestions were sharp and effective as always.

But at the same time, it was like a double-edged sword that could go in a direction unfavorable to Lilith herself.

As Sepia said, using ‘Matube’ was the surest way to protect ‘Mya’.

But at the same time, it was also an act of building an invisible wall between the queen and Lilith.

‘The queen…’

You will definitely be disappointed in yourself.

No, I might have been angry beyond disappointment.

His favorite subject,

hiding important discoveries from oneself;

It would even look like he was using it to challenge his own authority.

‘Sepia is…’

Pretending not to know the Queen’s feelings even though you know them,

Rather, he seemed to enjoy the situation.

‘As expected, she’s an incredible woman…’

But Lilith knew.

That you have no other options right now.

‘at last…’

Everything was Lilith’s responsibility to handle everything.

If you want to protect ‘Mya’,

The Queen’s Wrath,

Sepia schematic diagram,

Everyone had to endure it.

Lilith sighed deeply and muttered.

“In the end… I have no choice but to think and act on my own.”

Her voice is cold,

There was a firm determination in it.

Now Lilith was ready to make any sacrifice to protect Mya.

“Sera, we don’t have time! We must bring Mya to Her Majesty the Queen before the sun sets.”

Lilith said, unable to hide her nervousness. At first, they planned to keep Mya hidden, but due to the last search incident, everyone in the mansion found out.

“Sera, call the maids right away. We need to wash Mya cleanly and dress her in pretty clothes. It should be decorated as cute and lovely as possible.”

“Yes, Lilith.”

Sera nodded at Lilith’s solemn expression.

And then she quickly left the room to call the maids.

“Oh, and Sarah.”

Lilith called Sarah back as she was about to leave.

“Yes, Lilith?”

“By any chance… are any of the maids familiar with ‘Matube’?”
