Chapter 2047
There was silence in the karst cave for a while.
The fourth sister, Giada, who had never spoken, broke the silence and asked, "Lori, can you tell me why you're doing this? Is it really because you're curious? Are you going to disobey the orders of your teachers because of this? Do you know how heartbroken we’ll be if you do this? Is it worth it?"
"Masters, I don't want to do this, but I just think that since you are willing to sacrifice so much for me, you shouldn’t hide any secrets from me either,” Lorraine replied.
"We didn't hide it from you on purpose, but now is not the time. When the time comes, we will definitely let you know all our secrets. After all, you are our successor."
"Really? The time when you finally decide to let me know is also when it'll be time for me to give up my alluring body, right?"
Lorraine's words were like a sudden clap of thunder. It sounded in the minds of the four sisters, making them dizzy.
They all looked at Lorraine with incredulous eyes.
How could she know the truth of the matter?
No outsiders knew this secret, except for the four sisters.
Yet, Lorraine exposed them in one sentence.
"You... What are you talking about? Lori, why do you have
such an idea? What do you mean by giving up your alluring body? We..."
Before Giada could speak, Lorraine interrupted.
"You don't need to make excuses to deceive me any more. I know you want my alluring body. As for why, I have no clue, but I think the secret should be hidden under the cold pool."
Now that it was all exposed, she did not want to continue pretending either.
She would ask directly or find out by herself.
Lorraine knew that since her teachers were currently weakened, this was her only chance.
She would not get another chance if she missed this.
She might even be at a disadvantage if she did.
"When did you find out?”
"When you said that you would use forbidden techniques to help me improve my strength."
After Lorraine finished answering, she continued without waiting for Eira to speak, "I am very self-aware. Even Celeste, who grew up with you, couldn't receive such treatment. So what virtue and ability do I have to make you sacrifice yourself to help me?
"Then, I remember Celeste once telling me that the two of us have the same physique, so I boldly guessed that you
only want my alluring body. As for Celeste and I, we are just tools. However, I have no idea why Celeste, who has been here for so many years, was abandoned by you all. I will need you all to clarify this to me."
The karst cave once again fell into silence.
All four of the sisters were looking at Lorraine.
Lorraine looked over without showing any weakness.
The two sides then proceed to have a staring contest.
"I have to say, Lori, you are the smartest woman I’ve ever met. You understand the situation better than anyone. When it's time to hide, you hide well and don't show any flaws. You also know how to expose yourself at the right time. It would have been fatal to you if you had done this any earlier or later," Marin praised without hesitation.
