"If you all look at me like that, I feel a little awkward drinking this warm tea," I said as I put down a cup of warm tea that had been prepared by the Royal Palace Maid.

After the fight … after my little bullying that attacked the heavenly holy dragon spirit, I was surprised by several pairs of eyes that looked at me with fear and awe.

Alice, Alyssa, Princess Anastasia, and the Queen looked at me with a sense of awe that radiated from the sparkle of their eyes.

In addition, several nobles who saw my behavior bullying the heavenly holy dragon spirit looked scared, especially with the magical pressure exerted by the three butterfly spirit sisters who threw the physical body of the heavenly holy dragon spirit like a ball above the ceiling sky.

Some parties seemed neutral like my parents and the Royal Palace Maid. They seemed to be highly professional and did not care about the problem that I had caused.

"Lily, it seems like you have happy more than usual," said my mother as she put down the cup of tea that she had just drunk.

"Huum?" I tilted my head as if confused by my mother’s words.

"Do you know that the horse carriage came from one of the Aurora Goddess Shrines located in the Aurora Kingdom Capital?"

"I only know that the heavenly sacred dragon spirit has a bad attitude and the three butterfly spirit sisters intend to settle their grudges completely."

While enjoying the warm tea that was slowly cooling, I acted like a noble girl who was honorable and had high self-esteem.

My movements were very light and showed my worthiness as a noble girl who had the ethics to attend the social circles of the nobility.

Baaaaammm!!

Right behind us, more precisely in the outdoors of the Royal Palace, we could hear the sound of bullying rage that was still continuing between the three butterfly spirit sisters and the heavenly sacred dragon spirit.

No one dared to break up their bullying because it would only cause uncertain casualties when the spirits fought each other.

Despite the uncomfortable situation, I returned to enjoy the Queen’s meal and finished the warm tea that had a sweet taste.

"Lily, you should at least break up their fight, isn’t the heavenly holy dragon spirit defeated and currently struggling to maintain her pitiful appearance like that," said my father who was watching the spirit bullying by standing around the window glass.

"Should I break it up?" I replied after finishing a glass of warm tea clean and putting the cup down according to the noble dining etiquette.

Without making too much noise, I immediately got up from my chair and approached the window glass that my father was sitting on.

Taaappp... Taaappp...

I stared out the window glass with my father who was smiling palely.

The sight in front of me looked very heartbreaking.

The majesty of the heavenly holy dragon spirit had been pushed aside by the three butterfly spirit sisters. Like playing a ball rolling in the air, they ignored the weak screams released by the heavenly holy dragon spirit.

"FORGIVE ME! THAT’S JUST A STORY OF OUR PAST!"

"I HAVE REPENTED NOT TO BULLISH LOWER-LEVEL SPIRIT ANYMORE!"

"PLEASE FORGIVE ME!"

"I AM READY TO ACCEPT THE PUNISHMENT YOU WILL GIVE!"

I was stunned by such a pitiful sight.

I found it hard to imagine that the heavenly holy dragon spirit became a ball that was played like this. The dignity of the holy spirit was slowly disappearing and was wrapped in old sins that wanted to be cleansed through repentance.

Surprisingly, my Goddess did not stop my actions that looked like a cruel bully.

[ Oh, you are overthinking it, Lily-chan! ]

Oh, Goddess, you are back?

[ Yes, I just called the Goddess who is in charge of managing the Spirit order and invited her to see what you have done. ]

[ Right now, she is laughing heartily because she saw the honorable heavenly holy dragon spirit being played like a beach volleyball by the three spirit sisters who are seeking revenge. ]

[ This kind of action is too much. So the Goddess who manages the spirit order immediately called the Goddess Aurora to order all the spirits who are in contact with her fake Saintess to come and apologize to the three spirit sisters. ]

Uhm, wouldn’t that cause another misunderstanding?

[ What’s wrong with apologizing? ]

[ The three spirit sisters had experienced cruel torture before the spirit rules came into effect. Their punishment like this seemed normal after the heavenly holy dragon spirit became a high-level spirit by eating their magic weave. ]

[ To avoid a bigger conflict, the Goddess who governed the spirit order immediately contacted the Goddess Aurora, and as I explained before. ]

[ Can you check the surroundings, Lily-chan? ]

[ I hope there is no resistance from the fake Saintess who did not receive the Goddess’ blessing directly. ]

I pursed my lips and looked at the outdoors of the Royal Palace which was still in a peaceful state.

My steady breathing was directed at a little girl wearing the uniform of the Goddess Aurora’s Shrine Maiden.

The calls of name Vasilica and Hana’s crossed my mind.

Based on those memories, I could understand that the heavenly holy dragon spirit was named Vasilica and her contractor was a little girl named Hana.

I took a small breath before preparing to descend for the second time from the window of the Queen’s private room.

"Okay, I’ll break up their little fight," I said while glancing at my father.

"Lily…"

Before I could jump and pass through the Queen’s private room window, my father pulled my body with one hand and blocked my way from jumping back from the Queen’s private room window.

"As a girl attending a gathering between nobles, at least use a more civilized way to come down from a height like this. A noblegirl must maintain their dignity when in the Royal Palace. Jumping from the Queen’s private room window is not an action done by a respectable noblegirl," my father said while holding my body from jumping out of the Queen’s private room window.

"Go down the stairs and show your status as a family of Marquess Rommel."

"Only in that way, you can spread your honor as a noble girl who can give a strong impression to the guests who come from other noble families. Just think of this as a social investment towards your relationship with the man… Cough! Forgive me, Lily... I mean your relationship with a girl from another noble family," my father said with a loud cough at the end of his sentence.

"Father, are you okay? Do you need a drink of warm water to relieve your cough?" I replied while noticing my father’s cough that seemed to feel tight in his chest. My father occasionally patted his chest to calm his heavy coughing sound.

"It’s okay, Lily. I just choked because I was too excited," my father replied while looking warmly at me.

"Ahem! Rather than waiting any longer, your father also feels a little sorry to see the spirit of the heavenly holy dragon being toyed with like that. Especially with Saintess Hana who is kneeling and can’t do much like that. So I hope that you are able to create a healthy friendship with Saintess Hana..." My father’s words were filled with implied meanings that made me wonder.

As far as I understand, my father wants me to stop the spirit fight and make friends with Saintess Hana, right?

I think that’s what my father said.

"Okay, I understand, I will stop their little quarrel and kiss Saintess Hana on the lips!" I said in a loud tone.

Cttass...

Crash...

"Hmm... what happened? Why was there a clear sound of breaking?" I immediately turned my face until I saw Alice and Alyssa dropping their tea cups.

"Onee-sama!"

"Lily-nee!"

They suddenly ignored their fallen tea cups and ran towards me quickly.

"W-What did Onee-sama say!" Alice suddenly shook my body with her small hands.

"Lily-nee... why did you have the heart to play with my feelings by teasing another girl in front of my eyes!" Unlike Alice who shook my body with all her might, Alyssa was seen shedding tears as if crying after hearing my words.

"Sob... I can’t believe that my love at first sight turned out to be like this," said Princess Anastasia who suddenly stood beside my body and crying.

"Eh?" I am confused with the current situation.

Did I do something wrong?

What kind of mistake did I do?

Oh, my Goddess, did I do something wrong without realizing it?

[ Oh, Lily-chan, it seems like you have unknowingly attracted too much jealousy for them. ]

Jealousy? What have I done?

[ It seems like Lily-chan didn’t realize it. They just didn’t want to see their beloved Big Sister go off to flirt with another girl by kissing her on the lips. ]

[ Honestly, I feel very happy with Lily-chan’s progress in understanding the mechanism of the Yurification System’s blessing. But don’t express your intentions too clearly like that, Lily-chan. ]

[ Women are indeed too sensitive when they hear that the person they love will be in love with another girl. ]

Uhm, I don’t understand this at all.

What did I do wrong?

Seeing the responses of Alice, Alyssa, and Princess Anastasia. I can conclude one thing.

It seems that my previous words were too much.

"Onee-sama, if you want to kiss another girl! At least give me a kiss to cover up my heartache!" Alice suddenly pulled my body by pulling my arm until our lips met.

Chuuu...

A kiss that happened suddenly surprised me.

"Ah! Alice is so cheating! I want to kiss Lily-nee’s lips too!" Alyssa pulled my arm too and separated my kiss from Alice’s lips.

Chhuuu...

My second lip kiss happened quickly and my body’s response was a little late to realize it.

"Then, I will also come along…" Princess Anastasia said as she approached me.

"I apologize if it seems rude of me to stop a Royal Princess, but you will disturb my Master’s love affair to become even more complicated," right next to Princess Anastasia, Mio stood up suddenly using Sakura Dash. The smell of cherry blossom petals felt very fresh and indicated that Mio had just used a move from Sakura Dash.

Taappp… Taaapp…

Baaaamm!!

"Your Majesty the Queen! Important news! Several spirits have appeared in the Royal Palace outdoors and are involved in a confrontation between three spirits!"

During this unimportant dispute. The Queen’s private room was shocked by the report of the Royal Palace soldiers about the appearance of another spirit in the Royal Palace outdoors.

I immediately looked at the Royal Palace outdoors and saw the three butterfly spirit sisters who had finished their little bullying.

The heavenly holy dragon spirit that had become a ball toy for the three butterfly spirit sisters looked dry to the point of weakness because its magical energy was drained out. That made it difficult for her to maintain her physical form as a heavenly holy dragon spirit.

I could see that the arrival of another spirit would cause another fight.

Therefore, I immediately rushed out to prevent that situation from happening.
