Chapter 87 Why Are You Lying?
"Place her here and let her rest," Dantalian spoke, standing in front of the couch where he was seated. "Afterwards, please do me the favor of taking her to a room."
"No problem, you already have one in your possession," Echidna smiled, running her hand over Freytan's forehead.
"Master, you should take care of that, her body temperature is too high," Fiona spoke, her right eye shining in blue.
"Unfortunately, I can't do that," Dantalian said, his eyes covered in golden energy.
"Master?" Amanda exclaimed indignantly.
"Lord Dantalian, what are you thinking?" Echidna looked suspicious.
Fiona concentrated and could see the reason behind it. Freytan's energy properties had changed. "Her body is regulating itself," Fiona whispered.
Amanda and Echidna turned their attention to Fiona, who shrugged and said, "No need to worry, it's just a normal occurrence."

"Freytan's energy has completely changed..." Dantalian spoke, perplexed.
'I need to investigate this further. It seems I'll have a lot to study with this bonus,' Dantalian thought, hearing Amanda's grumble.
"So, in the end, you didn't relieve anything, you just confirmed your theory, right? Master, you're really bad with her," Amanda remarked.
"Amanda, I think you're wrong. Look at the satisfied expression on Miss Freytan's face," Echidna pointed to Freytan's face.
Amanda tilted her head to the side. "Hmm, I hadn't noticed that."
"I would never do something to hurt you, except for Fiona, but that's beside the point," Dantalian said.
Fiona slapped Dantalian's back. "My Master, don't go exposing others like that."
'Will they look at me with disgust now?' Fiona thought, wanting to put a smile on her face.
Echidna was looking strangely at the two when she noticed Amanda's touch and nodded, whispering, "Don't mind her, she thinks nobody knows about her hidden desires. Tsk tsk."
"Hidden desires? What are you talking about?" Echidna was surprised to realize the meaning. "Wow."
The conversation was interrupted by Freytan's yawn as she turned forward, almost falling off the couch but saved by Dantalian placing his hand on her belly and gently guiding her back to her original position.
"It's best if you two take her to the room now. Meanwhile, I'll finish dealing with the intruder with Echidna. Are you both in agreement?" Dantalian asked.
"With me? But why? Haven't you already resolved everything, Lord Dantalian?" Echidna asked, curious about the situation.
Dantalian looked at Amanda and Fiona, who nodded and smiled. In that moment, Dantalian stepped away from Freytan and extended his hand towards Echidna.
Meanwhile, Fiona gently picked up Freytan and carried her to the room.
"This intruder cannot be dealt with solely by that. You need to face her again," Dantalian said, keeping his hand extended.
"Why should I? She is in that predicament because of me. I don't think she would even want to hear my name," Echidna said, her voice tinged with regret and doubt.
Her sense of justice and strict adherence to rules, combined with her reverence for her mother, had started to consume her to the point where she could hear her mother's screams, even on the upper floors. Her heightened senses felt like a curse.
Meanwhile, Echidna couldn't help but show it on her face. Dantalian's hands moved to each side of her face, gently pinching her cheeks, creating a playful fish-faced expression without exerting any force, just enough to make her pout.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Dantalian, what do you think you're doing? This isn't right," Echidna said, seeing a serious expression on Dantalian's face, completely different from what she had expected.
" I'm being serious... Why do you continue like this even after I've said that?" Echidna closed her eyes, waiting for something to happen.
"Why are you considering this? Wasn't she just an intruder? Well then, let's go and settle everything once and for all. Who knows, maybe you'll receive something you've always wanted," Dantalian said, releasing Echidna's face and stepping away from her, walking towards the staircase.
Seeing this, Echidna clenched her fist and said, "This intruder has a lot to hear indeed. Let's go, Lord Dantalian." Echidna quickly walked, stopping by Dantalian's side and nudging him with her elbow.
"Alright, let's make a grand entrance, shall we?" Dantalian offered his left arm to Echidna, who immediately accepted. They both began descending the staircase.
When the two entered the central hall, they would see Apparently Marian's lifeless body lying on the floor, her eyes devoid of life, and her clothes torn apart, except for her face, nose, and lips. From the thighs downward, her hands, shoulders, and neck, her entire body bore precisely crafted superficial cuts that stung with an abnormally icy temperature. Aside from that, Marian's energy seemed to bear a slight resemblance to Freytan's now. What could have happened?
Looking at this, Echidna momentarily forgot what she had done, releasing Dantalian's arm and running towards her mother, shouting "Mother!"
Echidna knelt beside her mother's body, holding her head. As she was about to speak, with her divine hand, Dantalian held Marian's head and sent a single wave of golden energy through her body, causing her eyes to return to their normal color. He spoke, "I swear, I swear, I only did it because I was hired and there were benefits involved, so I ended up accepting... but I didn't plan everything."
"Mother... Why are you lying?" Echidna spoke, looking directly at Marian, who quickly glanced at both Dantalian and Echidna.
"Miss Marian, you should answer your daughter. What is this?" Dantalian spoke, releasing Marian's face.
"Mother, even in this situation, you lied? Is this for real?" Echidna exclaimed, her voice filled with disbelief and disappointment.
Echidna released Marian's head, letting it hit the ground, and stood up. She spoke with a mix of anger and disappointment, "I expected anything from you, but stooping to that level and still lying... You truly died a long time ago."
