Chapter 263 – Her magic is useful, that’s all.

A few hours passed.

As Larissa's creepy smile disappeared, Emily felt calmer. She also decided to be silent about it, she didn't want to make the others worried about Larissa.

So as soon as Syl entered the room, she found only a calm Larissa sitting on the bed talking to Emily.

It was as if that "scary" scene had never happened.

But as Larissa talked, Emily couldn't help but think about what Larissa said before.

'Does she know who killed Lincy?' She couldn't get it out of her mind. Maybe it was a lie and she spoke it without thinking, or maybe it was true and it could lead to more trouble in the future.

'What if whoever killed Lincy is very strong and ends up hurting Larissa? Even if she is powerful, I still get scared.' Emily thought as she hid her worried expression from Larissa.

And then, two days later, was the day Larissa finally got up.

On the last day, she had spent the day doing some sort of physical therapy to be able to stand normally.

Larissa no longer felt weak, and even though she felt that her body was fine, her movements were impaired which did not allow her to walk normally.

And today was the day she was able to stand up and walk around the room without needing help.

As soon as this happened, she started smiling happily like a child ( Yes, she is a child, so it makes sense. )

And Emily, Syl, and Suzan who were there at the time also celebrated her speedy recovery.

"I didn't think you would recover so fast!" Suzan exclaimed in surprise as she followed Larissa.

She had left the room and was heading toward the living room to meet the guild master and his wife.

"Even I didn't think I would recover so quickly. Before I felt as if my legs were not responding. I've never felt anything like that before, it's scary."

"Maybe it's because you broke both your legs?"

"Could be, but I think it was because I was asleep for too long," Larissa answered Emily and then looked at her hand. She squeezed her hand and noticed that her fingers were still not responding very well to her commands.

"My fingers are a little numb, Tsk" Larissa complained and then clicked her tongue.

Emily and Suzan smiled as they looked at that scene. Syl, on the other hand, was walking beside Larissa while holding one of her hands.

And just like that, they arrived in the living room.

Larissa finally met the guild master's wife, and of course, thanked her for the stay.

And after they talked some more, it was decided that Larissa would stay a few more days to rest, she would continue to be cared for by Suzan and Emily.

So after only some time downstairs, Larissa went up to her room again and lay down.

"My legs are tired, I never thought I would be in this state. If by chance I end up being attacked now I don't know if I can defend myself."

"Don't say things like that, you'll scare Syl."

"All right, I'm sorry."

The new silver-eyed queen was sitting on the throne while being stared at by a middle-aged man who was kneeling in front of her.

"It's been a while since I got the throne, but the only thing I do is stay inside the castle doing nothing, that's tedious." The woman said as she rested her chin on her hand.

The man in front of her looked at her and smiled.

"Didn't you attack Grenrok? I thought you were having fun."

"I attacked because you asked me to. You were wanting me to kill a child."

"I still want you to do it. Trust me, if you do nothing that little girl will be a problem for you."

"Why did you provoke her by killing her friend? You even asked that maid to help you show that little girl everything. If something happens it won't be your fault?" The woman stared at the man.

He received her look and swallowed dryly.

"That girl has already caused me a lot of trouble and almost killed me. I just want to get revenge."

"I see. You are so pathetic that you ended up being injured by a child. I guess I picked the wrong subordinate."

"It's not that, she just took me by surprise. I was following her on the queen's orders and she ended up..."

"You were following her, she found out about it and still hurt you? Wow..." The woman widened her silver eyes and then stood up. Her long black hair had fallen over her eyes, so she used her hand to pull it away from her face.

"It wasn't that, it's..." The man tried to justify himself as he became more and more desperate at the sight of that beautiful and dangerous woman approaching.

And as soon as she approached, she looked down at his neck. At the same time, he felt something tighten and twist his neck.

"I'm thinking I'd better get rid of you and try to hire that girl, what do you think?" The woman put a smile on her face as she looked at the man trying to break free of her magic.

But soon after, she released him.

"But about all this, I'm not having fun."

"..."

"I don't know her, she's just a kid and she's never done anything against me. You're just trying to get rid of her for personal reasons that I don't care about."

"But..."

"But even if I don't care, get your work done. You've already fucked up Grenrok's economy, that mayor keeps sending letters asking for help, just finish everything quickly."

"Okay, I'll finish it quickly. That girl is in a weakened state now, I'm already preparing to kill her."

"I understand. I hope you do a good job."

"I will, I have a trick to make my victory even easier."

"Trick?"

"Remember the maid who invaded that little girl's mind? She put the images of her friend's death into her mind."

"That girl with orange hair with a middle-aged mother's appearance?"

"That's rude, you know."

"But she looks like an 'Older Sister'. But whatever now, what was her name again?"

"Her name is Lorane. She was that little girl's personal maid before she was treated as a traitor."

"Hmm, I get it. You're trash, you're pitting two friends against each other."

"Her magic is useful, that's all."
