Feeling guilty, she changed her clothes and slipped out of the room.
They happened to run into Arthur, who was returning from his morning exercise.
Li Aili suddenly remembered the conversation she had when she woke up groggily last night.
Just as she awkwardly dug her toes into the ground, Arthur smiled slightly at her, "Good morning, Ellie."
It was as if nothing had happened.
Li Aili herself couldn't help but wonder if last night's conversation was just a dream.
“Ellie,” Arthur said, “I’d like to paint a picture of you, is that alright?”
"Drawing?" Li Aili's interest was piqued. "You can draw? Great, but you have to say something first!"
"If you draw me badly..." she raised her fist.
Arthur smiled slightly, "Wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes, and then we'll go have dinner with Mother."
Li Aili was very happy.
Because Arthur has returned.
Whenever she saw Arthur, her mood would inexplicably improve.
They even happily wanted to hum a song.
However, this good mood vanished completely when she happily received a 'sugar-free breakfast'.
Li Aili looked at Arthur expressionlessly, "What is this?"
Arthur said firmly, "Your breakfast."
Li Aili: "...What did I do wrong? Why did my sweet milk turn into milk? Why did my dessert disappear? Why..."
Arthur interrupted, "My dear Ellie, do I need to remind you? You just had a fever because of a cavity, and you almost went delirious."
Li Aili: "..." The cat was shocked.
"Wait! But I'm all better now!?"
Arthur lifted his eyelids and glanced at her. "Do you want the Silver Dragon God to descend every day to help you with your cavities?"
"Pfft..." The Emperor and Empress finally couldn't help but cover their faces and burst out laughing.
Li Aili: "..." Ugh! You stinky Arthur! You ruined my image in front of the Empress!
The Emperor and Empress waved their hands, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Seeing you all reminds me of the time I spent with Solomon..."
Li Aili blushed and silently finished her breakfast.
After breakfast, she was captured by Arthur and taken to a palace.
Conrad brought over a chair, and Ellie sat down in it.
The butler tilted his head slightly to look at Li Aili on the chair, then quickly walked out. A moment later, he returned with an ornate lace folding fan.
Conrad smiled and handed the folding fan to Li Aili.
Li Aili slowly unfolded her fan, which was inlaid with precious gems.
However, this fan touched a wound in my memory.
That day, in Arthur's secret chamber, she saw a painting, a... portrait of a girl, a girl who looked exactly like her, holding this very folding fan in her hand.
Li Aili stared blankly at Arthur.
So that's how it is...
He only has her.
It's always been her.
