Perhaps she always believed she was quite good at concealing her true intentions.

At this moment, Lia's cheeks were flushed red.

She lowered her head shyly, her little hands clutching Leon's sleeve tightly, looking like a little train about to burst out of steam.

Finally, he deliberately lowered his voice and said softly:

“Leon…Leon.”

"Nobody saw it, right?"

Although Miss Leah was exceptionally adorable in Leon's eyes at that moment, considering the need to maintain Miss Leah's dignity...

Leon cleared her throat and said seriously:

"Don't worry, Miss Lia, I've already sent the others away."

“I told them you were talking to important guests in the meeting room and that no one would disturb you at the moment.”

Hearing this, Lia cautiously raised her head and looked around.

He relaxed a little after confirming that there was no one else around except Leon.

But then, Duke Reeves' words came to mind.

It might not work on the first try? Perhaps you could try a few more times?

Does this mean the more the better?

However, the Duke of Reeves is not wrong; if one wants an heir, it certainly cannot be delayed too long.

Moreover, Victor seems to have agreed to help the Duke, which means he will soon accompany Duke Rivi to the south.

In that case, we should make our move soon.

Moreover, only Duke Reeves walked out of the hall just now.

That means Victor hasn't come out yet.

Suddenly, she had a bold idea.

Lia coughed lightly twice, then waved to Leon.

Leon frowned and leaned closer, her face full of confusion.

Immediately afterwards, Leah leaned close to Leon's ear and whispered:

"Leon, do me a favor and stay here to keep watch."

"Don't let anyone near here until I come out."

Leon was slightly taken aback.

Before she could react, Lia had already rushed towards the door.

As she opened the door, she turned back and winked at Leon.

The next second, with a "bang," the door slammed shut.

Subsequently, because the conference room was very well soundproofed, Leon heard nothing at all.

And they stood there dumbfounded at the door for two hours.

...

Lia stood in front of a huge floor-length mirror, gently tugging at the hem of her long dress with both hands.

She swayed her body slightly from side to side, trying out the different looks of the new clothes.

She took several pieces of clothing from the maid beside her and carefully compared them in front of the mirror.

Despite trying on one outfit after another for almost half an hour, she still couldn't find a single dress that satisfied her.

"Never mind, let's put these aside for now."

Lia sighed softly, waved her hand, and then sat wearily on the sofa.

Those latest clothing designs are so ugly they're almost unbearable.

Is it that people's aesthetic sense has deteriorated to an irredeemable level, or is it that she herself no longer follows the latest trends?

She even felt that those styles weren't as nice as some of the older designs in her old wardrobe.

Seeing Leah collapsed on the bed, several maids holding several new clothes looked at each other in bewilderment.

They didn't know how to talk to Miss Lia.

That's true, Miss Lia has worn that trench coat for so long.

It's normal that it takes a while to get used to it.

However, they still couldn't quite figure out why Miss Leah had suddenly started to like dressing up lately.

Could it be... that Miss Lia is in love?!

This seems reasonable and can explain the recent changes in Miss Leah.

Just as the servants realized they had discovered the truth, a familiar voice suddenly entered the room.

"Miss Liya!"

A crisp sound rang out, and the servants, hearing it, couldn't help but look through the door.

Standing at the door was a cat-eared demi-human with pink and white cat ears, dressed in a special black and white maid outfit.

The catgirl's mouth dropped open, her face filled with surprise, and her pupils sparkled with joy.

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Lia was extremely surprised and immediately stood up from the sofa.

Vanilla?

But before she could think any further, the large catgirl had already crashed into Lia's arms.

Caught off guard, Liya was thrown back onto the sofa by Vanilla.

Vanilla nestled in Lia's arms, like a lazy cat, comfortably enjoying Miss Lia's warmth.

"Miss Lia, I miss you so much!"

Seeing this, the other servants present were not very surprised.

They quietly put the clothes in the closet and voluntarily left.

Close the door to give the master and servant some space to interact.

Seeing the catgirl in front of her grow so big all of a sudden, Lia was a little unaccustomed to it.

Indeed, vanilla hasn't returned for five years.

Seeing how well the other person was developing, Lia didn't know where to put her hands for a moment.

After thinking about it, I finally placed it on top of Vanilla's head and gently stroked it.

Feeling the soft purring coming from the catgirl, Lia couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Why are you back? People shouldn't be allowed to come and go freely in the capital now, right?"

Moreover, as the Queen's personal maid, Vanilla should not have come out at this time.

Upon hearing Liya's question, Vanilla finally broke free from Liya's embrace.

She braced herself on the sofa with both hands, her tail swaying behind her.

With his clear and captivating eyes wide open, he looked back and forth at Liya, sniffing her scent.

Finally, as if confirming something, Vanilla's eyes lit up, and she excitedly said:

"Her Majesty the Queen has granted me a very long vacation, allowing me to come back and rest for a long time."

"So the master has already returned!"

Upon hearing this, Liya immediately understood why Xiang Zilan had returned.

"His Majesty sent you back to verify his identity, didn't he?"

Hearing this, Xiang Zilan scratched her head, looking a little embarrassed.

Although she did not answer, the result was self-evident.

Leah blinked gently, smiled slightly, and put on an "I knew it" expression, saying helplessly:

"But you're late."

"Your master has already gone south with Duke Reeves."
