When night fell, the lively banquet atmosphere gradually dispersed. Julian was completely drunk, and Losiya had no choice but to help him to the sofa in the living room.
Although the guests tonight didn’t directly confront Julian, many still used the pretext of friendship to make him drink continuously. Based on the codian’s intention to train his alcohol tolerance, Losiya didn’t interfere much. In the end, Julian used his last bit of sobriety to see her before directly passing out.
"Hmm..." Feeling sothing stirring, Losiya put Julian down, her expression unpleasant as she left.
After escorting the guests away, the maids imdiately began busy cleaning the living room.
"Where did the lord go?"
"Alice... Alice!" Originally at the manor’s entrance seeing off guests, Alice instantly returned to the first floor living room, appearing and disappearing so suddenly that she startled the little maid.
"Never mind..." Shaking her head, Alice knew they didn’t know where Losiya had gone, and imdiately looked around the hall.
Not to ntion other things, although these maids could be silly sotis, when it ca to work they were absolutely conscientious and responsible. The hall they cleaned showed no trace of the banquet, seats arranged neatly, tables clean and tidy, the floor so polished it reflected light like it was completely new.
Looking toward the rest area with the sofa, Alice’s gaze stopped.
Frowning her delicate eyebrows as she approached, Alice lowered her head to look. Julian lay on the sofa, legs curled up to his chest, his silky silver hair scattered across the sofa. That gentle, perfect face was extrely peaceful now, long eyelashes trembling lightly with his breathing. Perfect, harmonious, those rosy full lips occasionally curving slightly upward, as if tempting the person before him.
As Alice admired Julian’s sleepy appearance, a passing little maid approached and whispered: "The lord just left in a hurry, asking to put him aside for now."
Under the little maid’s questioning gaze, Alice thought for a mont and said: "I’ll handle it."
"Yes, Alice."
Bending down to embrace Julian, Alice didn’t dare overstep boundaries, only using both hands to separately hold Julian’s neck, back, and knees, the weight feeling like embracing a silk goose down pillow.
She carried Julian up the stairs. In Alice’s chest, she felt no jolting sensation from going upstairs when Julian suddenly turned, changing to a comfortable position buried in Alice’s chest.
Alice: ...
Having grown up following Losiya since childhood, her developnt was even better than Losiya’s. Julian tilted slightly, his head directly resting on the soft snowy peaks, the lace trim of her dress still making Alice feel a bit ticklish.
The codian seed to have hit the mark. Alice moved closer and clearly slled the alcoholic fragrance, couldn’t help but shake her head.
Reaching Losiya’s room door, Alice didn’t knock and went directly inside.
Sure enough, Losiya wasn’t inside. Alice went to the bedside and placed Julian on the soft bed.
Tilting his body, Julian’s right eye had a fluorescent quality under the moonlight, half his face under the moonlight, half in shadow, the sacred and fallen feelings harmoniously incomprehensible at this mont.
Alice blinked, curiously reaching out her hand, not daring to use any force, only daring to gently caress.
That petal trembled slightly with her caress, then Julian suddenly beca abnormal.
"Ah..." Julian suddenly let out a soft breath, his face flushing while his body trembled, his legs curling up more intensely.
Not daring to touch further, Alice quickly withdrew her hand.
Huh...
Alice breathed out lightly, fortunately not waking the other party, otherwise it wouldn’t make the young lady happy.
Bringing her finger to Julian’s nose, imdiately warm, moist air enveloped her fingertip. Alice’s eyes flashed with doubt, and after a few seconds of thinking of a certain possibility, her eyes widened slightly.
Everyone has their own sensitive spots on their body. Once touched, the body instantly becos sensitive. Alice herself had them too, she just didn’t expect Julian’s sensitive spot to be his right eye.
Keeping this little secret hidden in her heart, Alice who discovered the new continent pursed her cherry lips, lifted Julian’s knees to tuck him under the blanket, adjusted the blanket corners before standing up to leave.
Looking at Julian lying on Losiya’s bed, Alice sighed inwardly and turned to leave.
Leaving Losiya’s room, Alice wandered around the second floor several tis before going to a quiet corner, knocking on the door and waiting for a response from inside.
"Who is it?" The person inside asked coldly.
"It’s , young lady." In the darkness, Alice was actually more accustod to calling Losiya "young lady" rather than "lord."
"Alice, what is it? Co in..."
Carefully pushing open the door, Alice entered and closed it behind her.
There was no light in the room, only moonlight streaming through the window. Losiya leaned half her body against the balcony, placing one foot on the windowsill, her expression unchanged as she looked out the window, holding a wine glass in her hand, the wine inside already drained.
Without many words, Alice went to Losiya’s side, silently accompanying her, while casting her gaze toward the bed in this room.
There lay a person, whose originally mature and elegant face had now beco extrely pale, her body also becoming increasingly weak and gaunt day by day.
"Young lady, has Catherine’s condition beco severe again?" Alice finally spoke first.
"Mm... I used structural regulation to help Catherine suppress that virus forcibly, but the effect is clearly getting worse each ti. This ti it only lasted a few days before flaring up again..."
"Your ability can only stimulate the other party’s potential and restore them to their best state. But a person’s potential will eventually be exhausted one day, and the virus in Catherine’s body..."
"When that day cos, I’ll personally end her suffering, then I’ll help her get revenge." Losiya said calmly, but under the moonlight her expression was full of killing intent.
After using her ability, Losiya’s expression was unpleasant as she rested by the window. Her mood was extrely poor now, and Alice felt the sa way. The elegant calmness of recent days no longer existed, only deep pain and sorrow.
She had been Losiya’s personal maid since childhood, and Catherine was Losiya’s most beloved aunt since childhood. As soone by Losiya’s side, how could she not have been cared for by the other party?
Without doubt, Catherine had always treated Losiya like her own daughter, and Alice had also received the sa treatnt under the loving care. After Losiya beca the Earl of Lily Territory, she even gave up her family status to follow Losiya to the undeveloped territory, only worried that the young and impetuous Losiya would suffer in the new place. She had never left, helping Losiya resolve countless troubles along the way.
She was only one step away from the Holy Realm, yet she always followed Losiya without ever leaving. This showed her love for Losiya and the depth of their relationship.
Alice pursed her lips and said softly to Losiya: "Young lady, using the Holy Mark on others consus a lot of energy. Tonight I’ll watch over Catherine. You should go to your room and get a good night’s sleep. Only with proper rest can you better help Catherine."
The relationship between the two didn’t need too much courtesy. Losiya tiredly got down from the windowsill, hugged Alice, and then left.
