Chapter 154: You Should Read Less Frivolous Books in the Future
After Lolth gave these instructions, Tina, who possessed some basic administrative skills, was already taking notes while drafting two new announcement documents.
However, Tina did not immediately proceed to the town, the Western New District, or the Southern New District to post the announcements.
She stood still, watching Lolth, hesitant and wanting to say something but holding back.
“Mistress Lolth… I have one matter unrelated to Hillenbrand… though it might be somewhat bold to mention…”
Tina appeared rather shy and troubled.
This sight caught Lolth’s attention and piqued her curiosity.
Recently, Tina had rarely shown this side of herself.
She had become one of Hillenbrand’s reliable leaders and professional managers—although she didn’t hold an official position yet, the residents kindly referred to her as the acting lord or the deputy lord.
This was already a great compliment and recognition for Tina.
“Everyone knows I am Lolth’s trusted assistant and helper!”
Indeed, she and Maider were much more reliable and capable than the nominal mayor and lord, Old Harper and Lolth!
Although many of Tina’s achievements were credited to Lolth due to Tina’s constant promotion and Lolth’s early image in everyone’s minds.
“Everything is thanks to Lord Lolth’s great leadership!”—Of course, this was exactly the scenario Tina hoped to see.
However, most of the common people in Hillenbrand Town were much more familiar with the acting lord, Her Excellency Tina. She was a good leader who worked actively on the front lines of two new development areas, personally guiding the work, eating in the same cafeteria as the people, and living on the construction site. She was also a great mentor, using magic to care for crops and livestock while patiently training every villager who knew nothing about magical tools and semi-automated facilities.
Almost no one could remember that this person was once a pampered Elf Princess!
Even the elven captives were amazed by the changes in Her Highness the Princess.
She used to be innocent and pure, but now she didn’t seem to have fallen…
Although she often said strange things and called a succubus her master, she truly managed this small town exceptionally well!
After her return, Lolth had also noticed Tina’s changes and transformations, sensing that this elf seemed to have become peculiarly more motivated.
Even though she didn’t know why, Lolth chose to let this elf continue as she was, following her principle of not questioning something that appeared to be beneficial.
But today, Tina suddenly became conflicted again!
“What’s wrong? Just say what it is; there’s nothing too significant or insignificant.”
Driven by curiosity and concern for Tina, Lolth looked at the fairy and inquired.
“It’s nothing, just… well, recently Isabella seems to be somewhat disrespectful to you, Lolth. Although she has always been disrespectful, she has become even more so since her return. But lately… lately, she even dares to address you by name! And she openly critiques your cooking… I even saw her give you something she had bitten! This is simply too much!”
Tina spoke with evident frustration and dissatisfaction.
Although initially hesitant, fearing she might overstep, as she continued, Tina grew increasingly upset and passionate, almost accusatory.
However, it somehow carried a hint of bitterness!
Lolth, not noticing Tina’s jealousy, explained in a rather casual manner.
“Ah… I permitted her to call me that; it’s fine.”
“I certainly understand that you, Lolth, allowed it,” Tina said eagerly, “but she actually took advantage of your kindness…”
“Alright, alright, don’t dwell on this; honestly, I quite enjoy it,” Lolth said, waving her hand, “we both find it pleasant.”
“Are you and Isabella… the two of you?”
Hearing this, Tina looked as if struck by lightning, repeating the question.
“Yes, that’s correct,” Lolth nodded, completely unaware of Tina’s discomfort, “so it’s perfectly fine.”
“I understand…”
Tina deflated like a pufferfish returning to its normal state, letting her head droop as she walked toward the kitchen door.
“Well then, Master Lolth, I will go prepare for the safety team.”
She said this rather dejectedly.
Lolth finally noticed that Tina seemed to be feeling somewhat down and said, “Ah, actually you can just call me Lolth or Lolthlinda, and if that’s not suitable, you can use my middle name Farte…”
As she said this, Tina responded with a sigh.
“I cannot do something so improper, no matter what…”
Tina said this while holding the papers and walking toward the door.
Lolth watched Tina’s retreating form and experienced a strange sensation she hadn’t felt in quite some time.
“Indeed, this fairy is truly difficult to comprehend!”
Lolth couldn’t help but sigh.
Meanwhile, Kanor, who was testing new juice ratios and recipes, wore a peculiar expression.
“Master Lolth, is there something you’re not proficient at?”
In response to Kanor’s question, Lolth shrugged.
“Of course… I am not someone who knows everything—there’s no such person in the world, Kanor,” she said as she opened her hands, “you see, I am not adept at managing relationships.”
Kanor wanted to say something, but ultimately, she simply nodded.
A look of deep contemplation crossed her face, far beyond that of an eight-year-old girl.
“So Master Lolth, do you prefer Her Excellency Tina or Her Excellency Isabella?”
Before Lolth could answer, Kanor added a qualification.
“I mean the kind of preference that relates to marriage or romance, not the fondness between friends or mere admiration.”
When Lolth heard this, she looked at Kanor, who was seated before the fruit and vegetable juicer, observing the spinning, mixing, and gradually breaking down fruit and thick fruit pulp, with a hint of surprise on her face.
“Kanor, you truly are quite mature for your age…”
Then, she realized something was amiss with the question.
“Wait—why is it ‘prefer,’ don’t base the question on my liking for both of them,” Lolth said helplessly, “we are all girls…”
“I read in a book that Superoperators have various ways to reproduce with the same gender. There are many same-gender couples among human nobles and elves, and succubi can reproduce with the same gender without external assistance,” Kanor became puzzled. “And besides, Lady Lolth doesn’t like men, correct?”
Lolth was rendered speechless by the question and had to resort to her secret weapon.
“You should read fewer frivolous books in the future!”
