Chapter 240: The Demon King Heard You Got a Light Artifact

After Lolth hurriedly left the kitchen, a hint of regret appeared on Kanor’s face.

"Tsk…"

Her expression caught Dorothy’s eye, and she hurried over with curiosity.

"Senior Sister Kanor, what is happening with Teacher Lolth… Did something happen between her and Her Excellency Isabella?"

Eight-year-old Kanor looked at Dorothy, who was eager to learn, and showed a professional expression as if she were ready to teach and explain.

As a senior sister, I have the responsibility to guide this junior sister.

Similarly, everything about Master Lolth is the same!

"You arrived late at the torture tower and are not very aware of Master Lolth’s complicated relationships," Kanor said, lowering her voice and speaking mysteriously to Dorothy. "Based on my guesses and the information I have, it seems this is not just a simple matter between ‘Her Excellency Isabella’ and Master Lolth!"

"This morning, when I was walking from the town, I took my usual detour to the West and South districts, and noticed that both Tina and Her Excellency Isabella seemed a bit down. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but after seeing Master Lolth’s sad face, I realized… there must be some problem involving all three of them!"

While saying this, Kanor continued her analysis with confidence, "Master Lolth seems to take everything lightly except for cooking, so she probably doesn’t want to take the initiative after something happened, which led her to feel down too… I had hoped that what just happened would create an opportunity for my master to take that step—after all, although my master is usually carefree and doesn’t act on her own, just a little push can make her follow her heart!"

As she said this, her face showed even more regret.

"Unfortunately, it was interrupted by the visit of someone unknown… and I don’t know what actually happened…"

Kanor’s little mind has a very shallow understanding of romantic relationships.

Although she found the right path with her brilliant intuition and almost solved the problem, she still wasn’t clear about what specifically happened.

After this, it was time for Dorothy, the princess with relatively broad knowledge, to appear.

"I think I know—this is a love triangle!"

Growing up in royalty and having a challenging fate, Dorothy has a deep understanding of relationships. After listening to Kanor’s description, she began to answer Kanor’s questions.

"First, you can see that both Tina and Isabella care about Teacher Lolth, right? And after the three of them left the torture tower yesterday and returned one after another, they became sad," Dorothy said, lightly tapping her left palm with her right fist and boldly concluded, "In my understanding… someone must have been caught sneaking out!"

"Sneaking out?"

Kanor asked in confusion.

"Even though Her Excellency Tina and Her Excellency Isabella cared a lot about Teacher Lolth, neither of them tried to get closer to her. They reached a delicate understanding while also using each other to balance their feelings and reason. After all, whether elf or human, being in love with a succubus is a taboo," Dorothy nodded and said, "Unlike me, they hardly have any positive feelings for their own families and backgrounds anymore… So, this balance is a good state for all three of them."

"But yesterday, that balance was broken when someone couldn’t resist wanting to get closer to Master Lolth, right?"

The quick-witted Kanor suddenly realized and spoke.

Dorothy agreed with this idea and nodded, saying, "Yes, so the three of them have temporarily entered a period of avoidance."

After that, the two shared a glance and once again sighed in regret at the same time.

"It really is such a pity—"

"Yes, it was so close to letting Isabella and Lord Lolth avoid their escape."

"Honestly, if this method works, Her Excellency Tina could do it again."

The two sighed and shook their heads, starting to make Ryman pies while comforting each other.

"But there is still a chance, Sister Dorothy."

"Even if we don’t help, I believe Teacher Lolth and her two friends will find their own way…"

"But that would mean we are not involved!"

"That’s true, what a pity!"

They exchanged a glance and realized how remarkably similar they were to each other.

Indeed, anyone who can become Lolth’s student, whether they learn extraordinary powers or cooking, is so much like me!

Kanor and Dorothy also formed a new "understanding"—a bond created during their time as classmates who helped each other, and this event brought about a change in their relationship.

The distance between the two of them lessened significantly at that moment.

While the two girls in the kitchen made Ryman pies and lamented the missed opportunity, Lolth, who felt relieved, approached the door of the torture tower and opened it.

At the door stood two people who were not surprising to see here, but their coming together was a little unexpected for her.

"Lady Doyle Candice… and Her Excellency Shelldor?"

Lolth looked at Red Dragon Grand Monarch, the girl with pink hair sitting on her shoulder, and showed a confused expression.

"What are you two doing here… Does the Demon King have any orders or tasks?"

Her first reaction was that Dorothy’s affair had been exposed, and the Demon King wanted to create another battle plan.

It was a reasonable assumption that Doyle sent the message, and Shelldor, as the front-line commander, gathered information…

But the truth was not so.

"We just happened to run into each other on the way," Shelldor glanced at Doyle and said, "Her Excellency Doyle seems to have some orders from His Excellency the Demon King to inform you… I have some small matters to share with Lord Lolth."

"It’s not just about the Demon King; there are also some matters from the abyss," Doyle gently flapped her wings and flew up from Shelldor’s shoulder, "It’s not urgent, but thanks to Her Excellency Shelldor for the ride—anyway, is it a good time now, Lord Lolth?"

"There is nothing to worry about, you two can come in and sit down."

As Lolth said this, she felt a bit relieved.

It was good that Dorothy’s matters were not revealed.

She was even somewhat numb to the idea of getting promoted—she hadn’t done anything remarkable lately, so there was no way she would be promoted above Chief Consultant.

When Doyle brought the two of them into the reception office with an abyss style, her first words made Lolth almost jump up.

"The Demon King heard that you got a Light Artifact and played a trick on The Church of Light again. She is very happy!"
