"Oh, so you're saying that the Cat Boss's voice back then was actually Talia meowing? Meow~ Meow?"

Antanas exclaimed in surprise.

After saying that, she tried to imitate a cat's meow with a pinched voice but just couldn't capture the authenticity of Talia's sound.

"Unbelievable."

Sinola's voice carried a hint of embarrassment, she couldn't handle this scene.

She never expected Talia, who was usually so dignified in the Demon King's Castle, to be so bold when playing around.

"Look, at this moment they must have noticed the problem, but instead their hands clutched even tighter. This reflex and physiological response triggered a suspension bridge effect, and the mutual feeding that followed was a process of comforting each other."

Hyperion seemed to have adopted an optimistic mindset as she analyzed frame by frame with a remote control, figuring out what Lanci and Talia were saying and why they ended up hugging while eating.

The three of them in the room now just seemed like they were seriously holding a seminar.

Of course, it might also be a more advanced form of punishment.

"..."

Lanci and Talia stood at the doorway, their faces flushed, and their trembling hands couldn't touch the door panel, as if it were scorching hot.

At this moment, the Great Demon Clan inside also seemed to notice the commotion outside the door.

Antanas quickly suppressed her urge to speak and ran over to open the door.

"Is it Miss Frances?"

Antanas was all set to receive the snacks Frances had brought.

But when she opened the door, she only saw Lanci and Talia.

Antanas gasped, pretending to be a maid in the Duke's house, standing respectfully by the door and remaining silent.

Sinola, who had been lying on the bed, quickly closed her eyes, then elegantly sat at the edge of the bed, pretending to be her usual graceful self.

The scene became extremely awkward for a moment.

In the dim room with drawn curtains, only the light from the projection illuminated their figures and faces occasionally.

With Antanas and Sinola not daring to speak, time in Hyperion's bedroom seemed almost frozen, stuck in the mutual torment and anguish of Lanci and Talia.

"Lanci, Tata, you're back from Huadu."

Hyperion's lips parted slightly as she looked at Lanci and Talia who had arrived in Ichrite.

Only she remained composed.

"..."

Lanci and Talia felt too guilty to speak.

Hyperion specifically adding the phrase "from Huadu" sounded particularly meaningful.

Uploaded by the M|V|L(EMPYR) team.

"How was Huadu? Did you have fun?"

Hyperion continued to inquire.

"..."

Lanci and Tata felt interrogated, unable to admit they fed each other once more.

Intrigued, Hyperion observed their expressions, setting down the remote control, letting their dating scene play in the room, as she walked over to stand in front of Lanci and Talia.

"Tata, your cat meow is really cute; I didn't realize at the time that it wasn't Cat Boss."

Hyperion's amber eyes occasionally glinted with a deep purple light as she spoke into Talia's ear.

"Hyperion, I was wrong."

Talia finally broke down, grabbing Hyperion's arms, and said,

"Please stop watching this footage. Don't watch it again in the future, I beg you, I'll do anything."

Talia wanted to hug Hyperion but didn't dare to do so on her own.

Even though she and Hyperion had an open discussion before, having Hyperion review the day's footage made Talia feel she couldn't face Hyperion and her friends now.

It felt like she had been secretly stealing food from Lanci for ages, which was truly bizarre!

"Anything?"

Hyperion asked while holding Lanci's hand in front of Talia.

"Yes..."

Talia could only mutter with her head down.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore."

Hyperion pressed a button with her other hand, opening the automatic curtains of the bedroom. As sunlight streamed in, the entire room brightened, the purple shadows in Hyperion's eyes faded, leaving the amber as clear as ever but with a hint of a mischievous smile.

She had already come to terms with it, and there was an understanding between her, Sigrid, and Talia, which was why she could hold this movie screening with Antanas and Sinola today.

"I'm taking Lanci today, tell Yifa's mom that we won't be back for lunch!"

Hyperion took Lanci's hand and started running outside, akin to the incident when she said "so cute I want to eat you up," dragging Lanci out of the room like she was forcefully stealing him away.

"..."

Talia covered her face with her hands, gradually coming to her senses, her mind still replaying the absurd things she did in the past.

While Lanci was already feeling socially dead, she felt even more like she couldn't stay in this world.

Fortunately, Hyperion had now separated Lanci and her, making the awkwardness among the three of them a bit better.

"..."

Antanas looked back at the room and at the disappearing figures of the two down the hallway.

Indeed, she hadn't misjudged them; when Talia, Lanci, and Hyperion got together, things always twisted out of shape!

Antanas couldn't help but clench her fist.

Looking at her best friend Talia, she felt that this embarrassed and red-faced Talia was even more charming than the expressionless, dignified princess Talia in the Demon World!

Amazing hug, never enough for her.

Tightly twisted, can't hold her back.

Hope Lanci never lets her down.

After a long time.

"I'll go find Yifa, haven't seen her in days."

Sinola gave a small cough, got up from the edge of the bed, and quietly left Hyperion's room.

"Uh, Tata, should we go down for some snacks later?"

Antanas realized that in her excitement she had overlooked Talia's feelings.

And so.

The empty room was left with just Talia and Antanas.

"Boohoo, Antanas, I never want to mess around with Lanci again."

Talia, like a deflated balloon, walked over to Antanas despondently and sat down, complaining to her best friend.
