    “W–what are you talking about, Miss? How could there possibly be something going on between the beta and me, a servant?!”

    Serena’s voice came out as a startled yell, her eyes widening in shock and a flicker of guilt, like she knew I was right but was too embarrassed to admit it.

    This girl. She was amusing.

    Did she really think I hadn’t noticed? The way she looked at Cassain the very first time they met. The way her eyes lit up whenever he was near. And the clothes, she had been putting on most of the new outfits I had given hertely.

    Especially since Cassain had been calling her in for statements about the rogue poisoning, you’d think such interrogations would make her anxious, but she always returned in an unusually good mood.

    I wasn’t blind to any of it, but I hadn’t said anything before. Now, though, I had to know if there was something serious between them, to decide whether I should intervene, after all, Serena’s safety was my priority.

    “Serena,” I began, letting my voice drop slightly as I narrowed my eyes at her, my expression serious. Almost immediately, she swallowed, her gaze fixed on me.

    “You know, I don’t mind if you like Cassain, but if you two are serious, I need to know. Don’t hide anything from me. Don’t forget, I’m not just your mistress, I’m your older sister who cares about you. You have to tell me everything, understand?”

    I reached out, taking her hand in mine. She swallowed hard, her eyes flickering from mine to our joined hands and back again. After a moment, she parted her lips, her voice soft, almost shy.

    “M–miss… y–you’re right. I… I have a crush on Beta Cassain. I’ve liked him for a while now,” she admitted, lowering her head in shame. “Please forgive me for not telling you….and for liking him. I know I’m just a servant and can’t like a beta of the king, but it’s just a harmless crush. Beta Cassain doesn’t know, and I’ll never tell himb, /bbI /bswear to the goddess.”

    She spoke so quickly that her words were barely audible, her face panicked, and I couldn’t help but want tough at her expression. Serena really did knew her to exaggerate, didn’t she?

    I smiled, leaning toward her and giving her a gentle knock on the head. She froze, her breath hitching as she stared at me.

    “My goddess, stop acting like youmitted a crime, it’s okay, dummy,” I said with a soft chuckle, pulling her a little closer as I continued with a grin.

    “There’s nothing wrong with you liking Cassain. Honestly, he’s ba /bgood catch, handsome, tall, kind… Frankly, I’d be thrilled if you two ended up together.”

    Serena’s eyes widened at my words, but I didn’t stop there. I wanted her to feel the truth of what I was saying.

    “You’re not just a servant, Serena. You’re more than that. You’re my dear little bsister/b, the one who’s been by my side since you were born. Our father and everyone watched you grow into this remarkable young woman, loyal, kind, always thinking of others before yourself…”

    Just like you did for me when you left the pack and risked yourself for my safety.

    “In this life, you deserve everything you want. If you like Cassain, go for him. There’s nothing holding you back, right? He rejected his mate, he’s single, so why not see where it goes?”

    I said, reaching out to ruffle her hair gently. I watched as she swallowed hard at my words, her eyes glistening red with unshed tears before she stammered out in a whisper.

    “M–miss…”

    But I wasn’t finished.

    “However,” I continued softly, “don’t get too lost in the feeling of love. Sure, it might feel incredible, like you’re walking on clouds. That fuzzy rush you get when you’re near the person you like can be so addicting it makes you want to forget everything else. But, Serena… don’t love only with your heart. Love with your head

    too.”

    I narrowed my gaze at her, and she blinked, clearly confused.

    “Don’t fall so deeply that you lose the ability to make sensible decisions or see things clearly. Look at the way I loved that bastard, Kieran. I loved him sopletely, he took advantage of me and betrayed me. Learn from my mistake. Don’t ever act recklessly. If doubts creep in, think carefully, weigh your choices, ande to your senses. Do you understand?” I asked, my tone serious.

    Her eyes hardened as my words sank in, and she nodded firmly.

    “Yes, mydy. I understand. I’ll do as you said,” she replied, her voice steady.

    For a moment, I said nothing, simply watching her to see if she truly understood. When I caught the determined glint in her eyes, I smiled and leaned back slightly, nodding my head.

    “Good girl. Good girl,” I echoed, stretching before holding up a finger.

    “Also, one more thingi,” /iI hummed. “If Cassain ever hurts you or betrays you, you tell me, and I’ll make sure he never walks again.”

    Serena chuckled as if I were joking, which I wasn’t but seeing herugh made me smile. Just then, Isab walked back in, carrying a te of fruit as we continued talking, or rather, gossiping.

    The rest of the day went by like that. Not particrly eventful, but not boring either. I chatted, ate, and rested, just like I normally would but today felt different.

    I was preparing for tomorrow, for when I regained all my strength. I had nned to start spending time with Darius, to seduce him into falling for me all over again. And when he did, I would reveal that I was Liana and show him the proof.

    I bwas /bcertain that he would believe me then, having fallen for my charms once more. But I knew just how hot-

    headed he could be, so I was saving my strength for what was toe. I might even risk my life to get close to him but I was ready.

    Ready to win back my man, ready to stop him from thinking of ending his life, ready to live ia /ilong, full life with him this time.

    And I would make it work.

    No matter what.
