Cecilia was about to turn around and head home when she focused her gaze and saw an unforgettable scene.
Elashia, who had just been smiling and bouncing along on her way back, was now at the market entrance with a red face, looking quite shy as she clutched the book in her arms tightly.
She looked both timid and easy to bully.
Could she have been harassed!
Otherwise, why would her face be so red?
Cecilia, as a knight, had been taught from childhood that heaven and earth are vast, but her lord is greatest!
As a knight, her lord is everything!
Moreover, her current lord is a gentle and kind young girl.
Seeing her lord being bullied right before her eyes—how could she endure it?
Even if her spying was discovered, it didn't matter!
Golden [Qi] released uncontrollably from Cecilia's body.
Extreme anger made her not even look to see who the enemy was.
No matter who the enemy was, as a knight she must first rush to her lord's side to protect her!
[Battle Technique: Meteor Fall]
"Boom!"
Cecilia stomped hard on the ground with both feet and launched herself into the air.
I must immediately reach Elashia's side!
Elashia was thinking about what to say next when a golden radiance descended like a meteor from the sky.
And it was coming straight at her!
Elashia's heart was already shaken badly, and being scared by this "meteor" from heaven made her legs go weak and she sat down on the ground.
The book in her arms fell to the ground with a "thud."
Suppressing the fear in her heart, Elashia looked up from below and saw Cecilia with an extremely embarrassed expression.
It really was her!
Now the questions in Elashia's heart were finally completely answered.
"What are you doing, ow."
Elashia stood up, covering her bottom that had just been hurt from the fall, and asked Cecilia angrily.
"I..."
Now it was Cecilia's turn to be incoherent.
She had thought Elashia was being harassed, so she directly activated her battle technique to teleport to her side.
After descending from the sky, she discovered—the person "harassing" Elashia was actually her own sister?
Looking again at Elashia who had been scared into sitting on the ground, Cecilia realized she had been too impulsive.
She hadn't even thought that her battle technique would frighten Elashia.
Fortunately it was afternoon and there weren't many people around the market.
Otherwise she might have been treated as a dangerous element. (-_-;)
"Have you been following me this whole time?"
Elashia asked Cecilia with mild annoyance.
"Your Majesty, I..."
Cecilia's cheeks, already red from embarrassment, became even redder after being exposed.
"Wow! It's 'The Villain Princess Won't Meet Her Guardian Knight'! I love reading this one!"
Sophia picked up the book that had fallen to the ground and said happily.
"Ah!"
Elashia let out a cry of alarm.
What could be more embarrassing than having the title of the light novel you're reading loudly announced by someone else in public?
Seeing Sister Ela, who had just been looking at her sister with mild annoyance, suddenly return to her previous flushed state, combined with Sister Ela's reaction when she had seen her earlier, Sophia immediately reached her conclusion.
"I understand, Sister Ela doesn't want sister to know that Sister Ela likes her, right?"
Little Sophia's blurted words made both Elashia and Cecilia blush at the same time.
"Silence! How could I dare to covet Her Majesty!"
Cecilia now wished she could take Sophia home and hang her up for a beating.
But Elashia, who had never had any romantic experience, reacted differently.
Originally she wanted to deny it like Cecilia, but after Sophia said this, she was already too nervous to speak.
Looking at Sister Ela with her flushed face and her sister who was embarrassed to the extreme, Little Sophia showed a satisfied smile.
