Chapter 317: Test of Loyalty

<A few days later, Elysia's POV> 

The days afterward had been rather uneventful. After inheriting Alice's power and gaining myself a new companion, there wasn't much for me to do. I bumped into Teivel a few times when exploring the mansion and it was clear from his expression that he wasn't fond of me. 

Me coming out of the dungeon must have ruined some kind of plan of his, which has resulted in me getting followed everywhere I go. I hadn't seen who it was, but I kept catching glimpses of them, not to mention I could often vaguely sense their mana from somewhere behind me.

Even in my room, there was no longer any privacy during the day, making it hard for me to teach Alice without it being suspicious. It also made it hard for Yumi to relax since, if she was caught, it would likely mean her death.
