Volume 1 Chapter 463
by post_apiChapter 463: It Really Is You
"Everyone’s past is truly… quite tragic."
In Lolth’s room, looking at the condition of each girl, she couldn’t help but sigh.
Although she already knew during the Soul Trial that everyone present had a past that was hard to look back on…
She never imagined that these painful pasts were more astonishing than she thought.
Killing their own mother, working for the enemies who destroyed their family, younger sisters being violently thrown into alternate planes…
In comparison, Julie was indeed the most ordinary, still staying true to her original intentions, and the thing she feared the most was simply being separated from her seniors.
However, Lolth’s act of watching quickly received an urge from the "core."
"Your Honor, it is your turn for the second round of trials."
The magic synthesis sound, which originally had no emotions, surprisingly revealed a hint of helplessness.
When Lolth heard the urging, she gave a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"You’re right… It’s my turn now."
"I completely forgot!"
She said this while silently sighing in her heart, and stood up from the bed by the window.
Of course, Lolth had not forgotten that she was also in the trials.
But she really did not want to face what was going to happen next.
Under the "core" hint, Lolth finally remembered where she had seen this room before.
This was the "guest room" in her home within the Succubus clan’s territory in the Abyss.
Although it was called a guest room, it was obvious that this room was mostly used for something else by the Succubus clan.
Thankfully, as the Demon Witch queen, her mother had good taste, and this room was seldom used.
As a succubus who valued her purity, it went without saying that she used it even less.
Her older sister also did not use this guest room much.
Because in Lolth’s memory, her sister would usually return only once every couple of years.
Growing up, her sister mostly lived in the letters and various items that were sent to her.
According to Mom, this "ungrateful daughter who causes trouble" seems to be wandering through different alternate planes, searching for something.
However, even so, the few times they spent together made Lolth feel afraid of her sister.
Lolth knew well that outside the "guest room" door was a hallway connecting her room and her sister’s.
Most likely, the sister who had once gone through the "Soul Trial" would make a reappearance in the "Courage Trial" in the form of a memory.
"Alright, it’s all my memories, it’s all fake."
Lolth thought this, and then…
She pushed open the heavy wooden door of the guest room.
The wooden door creaked as it opened, revealing a hallway that looked like a fancy club.
The red carpet and orange wall lights carried a hint of intimacy, and on the walls covered in golden wallpaper hung a few beautiful paintings.
Lolth walked down the long corridor and found that the doors on both sides were tightly closed.
Only at the end of the corridor was the door to her own room partly open.
A cold white light spilled out from inside.
Meanwhile, the door to her sister’s room across the hall was still locked.
Even though her mother was the queen of the Succubus clan, she did not give each of her two children a palace.
In fact, even she herself only lived in a small manor.
However, even though her sister’s room was not open, this memory most likely took place in her own room…
Yet, Lolth did not feel the slightest bit relaxed.
Because the time her sister lingered in her room was not short at all.
She stood by her door, looking at the half-open room with the sign that said "Lolthlinda’s Room" and the large words below that said, "No Entry for Uninvited Guests! Knock if You Need Something!" feeling a bit nervous.
Even though it was her own space where she had lived for more than ten years.
But just thinking about the possibility of her older sister being inside made Lolth feel completely unsafe.
After hesitating for a moment, she fully opened the half-closed door.
What came into view was the setup of her room.
In the spacious room stood a huge princess bed, but the curtains had already been taken down by Lolth.
Since she didn’t need such a large space to sleep, the bed was pushed to one side, and the other side was piled high with books and snacks.
The books ranged from professional papers and classics like "Introduction to Spatial Magic" to fun magazines and storybooks like "Seychelles Illustrated."
However, most of them were from the main plane.
At the head of the bed, there was a small, funny little dog toy, plump and somewhat clumsily made, but Lolth had carefully placed it beside the pillow.
In the wardrobe by the bed, the clothes were divided into two piles.
One pile was neatly folded with leather jackets, sheer fabrics, and other traditional outfits from the Succubus clan, clearly untouched by Lolth.
The other pile consisted of some noticeably outdated clothing: plain T-shirts, hoodies, and soft dark pants, all a bit messy, showing they were frequently worn by Lolth.
Aside from these two large pieces of furniture, there were no strange large tools typically found in other succubus bedrooms, just various odd shelves.
The pink wallpaper was completely covered with various sketches and drawings of models and diagrams.
At the foot of the bed, there was a whiteboard covered with many sticky notes, filled with formulas that only Lolth could understand.
The same kind of sketch papers, sticky notes, and books were piled on a workbench in the corner of the room.
There were also a few simple enchanting tools and some unfinished little gadgets scattered around.
There is a freezer next to the workbench, and through the crystal panel, you can see more delicious drinks and snacks inside.
And on the chair in front of that workbench…
Sits a girl with black hair, looking very much like Lolth, both having a lazy charm combined with a touch of alluring beauty.
Her long black hair is styled into a fishtail braid at the back of her head, with soft and neat bangs, making her look very cute.
On the sides of her head, two large curled horns rise up, along with two pink heart-shaped curls under her eyes and a long tail resting naturally on the back of the chair, revealing her identity as a succubus.
Her dress style is different from a typical succubus, yet not as casual as Lolth.
She wears a simple white dress with a blooming violet on her chest.
Her long, elegant legs and the white on her chest also show how she differs from Lolth.
She casually flips through a thick notebook in her hands, looking relaxed.
Sitting here is not the Lolth from a few years ago… She cannot reverse her age.
"It’s really you… Sister Xiletor…"
