　Nono, the head maid of Lilith, the first princess of the racial kingdom, met the young princess as a candidate for her entourage.

　When Lilith was only six years old and in grief over the death of her mother, the queen, Nono took her place by her side. At first, Lilith is spoiled by Nono as a mother figure, but she gradually comes to adore her as an older sister.

　Nono also loved Lilith as if she were her own sister, and she scolded her and even criticized her to educate her, but their relationship never became strained and bitter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This was because the bond between them had always been deep, and Lilith trusted Nono with all her heart.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　--It was after the visit to the city of the "Witch of the Giant Tower" that the bond began to unravel.

Nono, I'll have Yume make the tea from now on. You go about your other business."

...... princess?"

　For some reason, he did not drink Nono's tea at first and had Yume, an apprentice maid, brew it for him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From then on, Yume was treated as a maid and a close associate of Lilith, which was Nono's position.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nono questioned Lilith about this treatment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Lilith asked Lilith, "Princess ......, why do you favor Yume and keep Nono away from her these days?　Has Nono touched the Princess's wrath without realizing it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You said you wanted to talk to me, and I wondered what was going on. ......

　At night, while sitting on the sofa in her bedroom and sipping tea made by Yume (fake), Lilith lets out a sound of dismay in her voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Currently, they were facing each other alone in Lilith's bedroom, with Yume sitting out of the room at Nono's request.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nono cuts in on Lilith's attitude.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She says, "In the face of ...... the rapid changes in recent days, I'm tempted to say. The most important thing to remember is that you can't just take a job and expect to get paid for it. Please tell me why you keep Nono away from her and give her preferential treatment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nono is already overreacting. You've always been too concerned with details. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lilith blurted out to her sister, but Nono seriously questioned why she was being kept away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sensing the atmosphere, she returns the cup to the saucer and replies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't mean anything deep, you know.　Nono was right, Yume has been becoming more like a maid lately, so I just wanted to keep her by my side and nurture her in earnest. Nono also mentioned that 'it's hard with so few available maids,' didn't she?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... although that may have certainly been mentioned before."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Some young maids steal Nono's eye and slack off.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　On that occasion, I leaked it to Lilith as one of my complaints, but ...... it was only a light-hearted remark to my sister whom I care for.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The actuality of the fact that the actual words of complaint were actually uttered, it is hard to deny.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lilith tells him with a smile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'So I'm trying to take some of the burden off Nono by keeping Yume by my side. Nono can now spend less time taking care of me and more time on other tasks, can't she?　I think they should be grateful, not complaining."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... it is."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nono is at a loss for words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is true, as Lilith pointed out, that the burden has been reduced and she has more time to devote to other tasks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It makes sense to think that Lilith, who is like a younger sister to him, dares to use Yume (fake) because she cares about him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(...... I'm not lying, but I feel like I'm not saying what I really feel)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have been by Lilith's side for many years, watching over her as her sister and head maid.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can tell at once that she has something to hide.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, Nono immediately noticed that Lilith was 'not lying, but not saying what she really feels either.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

............"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nono?　What's wrong?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not at ......, no, it's nothing." Thank you for making time for Nono. Thanks for clearing up any doubts I had."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, I'm glad."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lilith smiles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She is smiling well, but Nono can tell at a glance that she is not smiling from the heart.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Instinct told him it was not a good idea to pursue the matter any further.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nono bows and leaves the bedroom.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As she moves down the hallway, she ponders.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(...... Princess is hiding something. It's similar to when she once tried to keep a kitten in her room without telling me.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Lilith was around 10 years old, she caught a bright white kitten that wandered into her yard and tried to keep it hidden in her room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'He said, "I'd be opposed to keeping it anyway."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At 10 years of age, she had become more intelligent, and even if she told a lie, it would be immediately obvious, so she dared not say anything about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even so, Nono soon found out and confiscated the kitten.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lilith herself could not keep the kitten, as it would cover her dress, bedding, and carpets with hair, damage her furniture by sharpening its nails, and transfer its scent to her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a result, she was kept at the family home of a maid who worked for Nono and sent there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The kitten has now grown up and is living a carefree life.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The conversation we just had was also a dialogue technique that refined the attitude of those days by dozens of times and hid the heart well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a level that NONO, who has served Lilith for many years, was able to recognize.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I couldn't tell what he was hiding.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(...... It's not possible that she's trying to keep the kitten hidden again like she did when she was a child.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He considers the possibility that he was embarrassed to have Yume as his sidekick because he was embarrassed to have her know about him as his own sister.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lilith is also a woman of her age and it's not that she's not a woman of her age, but ...... it doesn't feel right in light of her attitude earlier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(......Other possibilities, why I avoid Nono, even with Yume at my side: ...... They know I'm a spy!)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nono's feet stop in their tracks with a jolt as if a lightning bolt had run from her head to her toes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Disgusting perspiration flows.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He forced saliva down his painfully sticking throat and turned his head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(......, but there is no way the princess will ever find out Nono is a spy!　(Since the report to the Majin Nation goes through my parents' home, there is no way the Princess could have known about it.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Royal Castle of the Racial Kingdom is a heaven for spies from other countries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I considered the possibility that other spies tipped off Lilith to Nono's identity. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(...... I'm not saying there is zero possibility of Nono and the princess not getting along, and then entering as a replacement aide to extract information, but it doesn't make sense, and)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Information obtained by staying by Lilith's side is easy to obtain without being by her side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You don't have to go to the trouble of snitching on her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But ...... there is no proof, but Nono's intuition tells her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(...... this is just Nono's bad hunch, but it's not there)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That said, I can't ask him directly, 'Did you start to keep Nono away from me because you found out she was a spy?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

' ......!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Just the thought of Lilith knowing that he is a spy is enough to make his heart ache, and he leans against the wall, unable to bear it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But even Nono had no choice but to reject the assignment to spy for the Majin Nation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Her family had been spies for the Demon Kingdom since before she was born, and if she betrayed them, assassins would be sent to kill her and her family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nono, as a racial person, does not have the strength to repel the assassins of the Demon Nation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, he had no choice but to work as a spy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it is a fact that he has betrayed Lilith even with such excuses.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In some cases, there was even a possibility that Nono might assassinate her by his own hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(...... not yet. I don't know if the princess has found out that I am a spy yet. Anyway, I need to work hard, get close to your side again, observe in detail, and find out the real reason why you kept her away.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, there is a possibility that I was mistaken and that Lilith is really just giving Yume a job out of concern for Nono - and that's it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I tell myself this and take my hand off the wall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She removes her hand from the wall, and walks heavily back to the servant's room in the royal palace - Nono's own room.
