"Amethyst Elder, doesn't it hurt to see these precious Phantom Moon Orchids turned into a rope ladder?"
Lilith suddenly asked with a subtle smirk.
Hurt?
It freaking kills me!
"Of course it hurts!"
"How could it not hurt?"
"To Titan Elder, this might be nothing, but to me, this is a treasure beyond price! Just thinking about how people will trample on them over and over again—it's like a knife through my heart!"
Amethyst Elder immediately blurted out his true feelings.
"Amethyst Elder," Lilith continued with a sly glint in her eye, "Titan Elder just reminded me earlier—'Better not let any illusion mages see this rope ladder.'"
"But I couldn't stand it, so I brought you here. That way, we can suffer together."
"…What?"
Amethyst Elder froze for a moment.
"Palace Master… are you serious?"
"You're actually dragging me into this just to share the emotional damage?!"
His composure shattered completely.
What kind of backstabbing Palace Master is this?!
