This is also why Lis had no impression of Risa at all in his memory.
But at Lis's request, Risa was also trying to slowly change herself.
At least now, the servants at the Kane Mansion all knew there lived such a beautiful young lady in the library.
Usually, Risa immersed herself in meditation and learning magic knowledge, only occasionally allowing herself to relax.
Apart from Joyce and the servants who came regularly to deliver meals, very few people came back to the library.
Risa yawned slightly; she had stayed up late reading the Magic Book again last night. Although she was more energetic after advancing to the Gold Level, the habitual staying up late still made her slightly fatigued.
I wonder where Master Lis is now...
Just as Risa was letting her thoughts fly out of the window, someone suddenly hugged her slender body from behind.
"What are you thinking about?"
The familiar voice rang in Risa's ears, making her taut body instantly soften.
The warm breath by her ear made Risa's heart flutter; a slight blush appeared on her pale face, exceedingly enticing.
Feeling the soft warmth in his embrace, Lis was not a saint who could remain unmoved, otherwise, he wouldn't have come to find Risa immediately upon returning.
Moreover, to give her a "surprise," Lis even used an assassin's Stealth Skill, which was why Risa hadn't noticed him.
But unexpectedly, this girl had not only made significant advancements in strength but had also developed quite well in certain aspects!
Lis's deep voice sounded by her ear, making Risa's ears tingle.
Risa's voice was full of shy delight; if it weren't for Lis holding her, she might have run away and wrapped herself entirely in her little blanket.
"How much did you miss me?"
Lis relentlessly pursued further.
"Hmm, I think about you a lot."
Risa felt her face burning up, becoming redder and more enticing.
Lis, seeing Risa so shy, laughed out loud.
With a bit of strength, he embraced Risa's petite body and sat up in the original wood armchair in the library.
This chair, which Anning had moved for Lis before, had half-curved legs that allowed it to rock slightly.
Risa was a bit startled being picked up by Lis, her hands instinctively wrapping tightly around Lis's neck, her chin resting against his chest.
The girl's response carried a nasal tone, faintly hinting at her happiness.
For a while, neither spoke, quietly enjoying the peaceful and beautiful moment in the library.
Lis gently sniffed the faint scent of books on Risa, his left arm encircling the girl's slender waist, his right hand caressing her smooth, long hair as it slipped over her delicate shoulders, reveling in the beauty in his arms.
Under Lis's soothing, Risa seemed to gradually relax as well, her body no longer as tense as before.
Up until just now, Risa was still somewhat dazed, being led by the nose by Lis.
"How have you been lately?"
Lis asked with a smile, but his little actions never stopped.
"...Very well, I've been practicing just as the teacher instructed, and Lord Joyce also stops by to see me from time to time."
Still manipulated by Lis's palms, Risa tightly clutched the front of Lis's shirt as if afraid he would suddenly disappear, yet she dared not lift her head to look into Lis's eyes.
"Haven't you been hiding in the library every day again? Didn't I tell you to go out more often?"
Lis gently slapped the girl's buttocks, appreciating the exceptional hand-feel of the thin, silky white nightgown on Risa's body.
Next time, I'll buy Risa a few more!
Risa raised her head to look at Lis, innocently thinking that Master Lis was scolding her.
Before she could detect the amusement in Lis's eyes, he kissed her dewy, cherry-pink lips.
Risa's eyes, misty and wide, slightly parted her teeth to catch her breath, only for Lis to seize the opportunity and invade.
