I Refuse to Be a Valkyrie!

"Really?" Liliana found it a little hard to believe.

"You'll know tomorrow. Tomorrow, it'll definitely be as if nothing ever happened."

"..." For the first time, Liliana wondered if she was too stupid. After all, Erica had always been tricking her.

The next day, sure enough... it was as if nothing had happened. Phoenix merely took Hiyoumaru out for a while and bought many things, including clothes.

Only then did Liliana finally relax completely.

Then came the morning of the third day.

As usual, Liliana got up early in the morning and began preparing breakfast.

Liliana's cooking was pretty good. She usually handled breakfast, since it was relatively simple and didn't require much fuss.

By the time Liliana had finished preparing breakfast and everyone was seated at the table, Phoenix was the only one still in her room.

Liliana cautiously asked from the doorway. Only after receiving Phoenix's reply did she return to the table.

"How was it?" Erica asked Liliana.

"The King said she'll be here soon."

Liliana answered honestly.

"Oh."

After waiting for a few more minutes, Phoenix finally came out.

However... when Liliana, Erica, and Hiyoumaru saw Phoenix walking toward them, all three of them could not help but stand up in surprise.

"Th-this... is this... the King?"

"Th-this..."

"Wow... the King is so handsome..."

The three girls watched Phoenix approach. Phoenix's attire was different from before. Previously, she had worn Hanfu and looked as beautiful as a celestial maiden.

But now... she wore a suit. A white suit jacket, heroic features—she looked like an impossibly handsome male idol.

She looked much like Fu Hua in her white butler outfit, except her hair color was a little off. It was not gray. Still, she was incredibly handsome and charming.
