Chapter 300: Reversing the Lesson on the Arrogant Elf Councilor, Mary Sue's Second Teaching (3)
Shia, however, couldn't be bothered to argue with her delusions.
He shrugged, completely indifferent.
"I'm handing you this opportunity. If you miss it, then so be it."
With that, he turned around, looking as though he was about to leave.
He counted in his head as he walked away.
By the time he reached "three," Lilith's voice rang out.
"Shia!"
He stopped, his smile deepening.
His dark pupils reflected no light.
He knew—his plan had succeeded.
Lilith, for her part, hesitated.
She knew Shia was right.
The goddess's attitude toward her lately made that painfully clear.
But...
If Shia had tried to persuade her more, she might have stood her ground.
Yet seeing him leave without a fight, she wavered.
He was just going to go?
Why wasn't he trying harder to convince her?
What if she failed and White hated her even more?
As he neared the door, Lilith hesitated for a moment longer before finally calling out to him.
Rather than losing control, she would rather push down the goddess she desired.
That goddess had once been an untouchable existence for her!
But now, with her fiancé's help, she could even assist the goddess as her training partner.
If she missed this chance, she would surely regret it!
So, despite her hesitation, she ultimately decided to accept Shia's plan.
Shia stopped walking and turned around.
One hand in his pocket, his expression calm and composed.
As if he had no idea what she was thinking.
"Is there anything else?"
His indifferent attitude suggested he truly didn't care whether she agreed or not.
Lilith bit her lip.
Right, what benefit was there for him?
He was helping her pursue another girl.
He loved her and struggled to control his possessiveness.
Watching her be with the one she adored must have made him unhappy.
It was no wonder he seemed so detached and unconcerned about her refusal.
In her mind, she had completed the perfect logical conclusion.
She didn't even realize she had fallen step by step into his trap.
She had thoroughly convinced herself.
She even found a way to justify it perfectly.
Fine, she would treat this as a small favor for her poor fiancé.
"What do I need to do?"
Lilith stared directly at Shia, her expression resolute, as if she had accepted her fate.
From an angle she couldn't see, Shia's smile deepened.
Success.
As long as he grasped this cunning woman's weakness and played into her greed for everything at once, she was easy to manipulate.
She wanted it all?
Heh, the world wasn't that generous.
He wasn't some lovestruck fool.
But after agreeing, Lilith was puzzled.
"I'm already an adorable girl. How else can I change?"
She blinked, her big eyes full of confusion.
Of course, her confusion only applied to the latter part of her statement.
As for the first part, she was utterly confident.
Shia resisted the urge to laugh at her self-absorption.
Instead, he simply smiled.
As long as she was happy.
The plan had to continue regardless.
"Don't worry. Just follow my instructions, and you'll see the change."
A special lesson, once again, begins!
"First, you need to get used to my touch; follow my instructions tomorrow without question, and make her believe you like boys."
"Why?" Lilith was unconvinced.
What did that have to do with being a cute girl?
Shia gazed at her silently.
Honestly, he didn't even need to explain.
Lilith only had to recall the goddess's growing look of disdain toward her, and she would understand.
She was just deceiving herself.
A protagonist's standard flaw—blind overconfidence.
So, adjusting to physical contact and obeying his commands were part of the plan.
Making the goddess see her as a normal girl.
The world still had too many prejudices against feelings between girls.
But it was fine—she would change their biases bit by bit.
But for now, the priority was to complete this plan.
Lilith pressed her lips together, unwilling but silent.
Seeing her compliance, Shia finally smiled.
"Now, let me show you the benefits of the opposite sex."
For some reason, she had never thought of height difference as an issue before.
But now, looking up at Shia, she suddenly felt a sense of oppression.
A feeling of unease surged in her chest, making even her limbs go weak.
She forced herself to maintain a stern face and scolded.
"You—you better not do anything weird!"
Their plan was only to lower the goddess's guard and slowly build affection.
She liked girls!
Shia, however, maintained his smile and stepped forward.
Lilith placed her hands against his chest as if to resist.
But her hands felt weak.
Even her gaze refused to meet his, darting around anxiously.
Her soft, fair ears turned pink, making her look adorably flustered.
It didn't look like rejection.
It looked more like… a hesitant invitation.
*Clang!*
A loud crash shattered the silence in the room.
A maid with white hair had dropped what she was holding, too shocked to react.
Her eyes were wide with disbelief.
What… had she just witnessed?!
Absolute shock!
Tia's gaze remained fixed on Lilith, occasionally flickering toward Shia before snapping back.
The sight before her was too much to process. She staggered back in disbelief.
"M-Miss, what… what are you two doing!?"
Tia could hardly believe her eyes.
She had only left for a short while!
How had things escalated so quickly?!
Her mind echoed with a single phrase: *caught in the act!*
At that moment, Lilith looked utterly disheveled, a far cry from her usual noble elegance.
Her golden hair was damp with sweat, clinging together.
Her fair skin, flushed with heat, was covered in a thin sheen of moisture, as if she had just stepped out of a bath, steaming slightly.
Her long, slender legs were mesmerizing.
But more eye-catching were the tattered black stockings covering them.
Her pale skin peeked through the torn fabric, creating a stunning contrast of beauty and ruin.
Lilith turned her head away, avoiding Tia's gaze with obvious guilt.
Her legs instinctively pulled back slightly.
But outwardly, she forced herself to remain composed, appearing as steady as ever.
"What's wrong?"
Her voice was calm as if nothing had happened.
Her nonchalant tone mixed with her slightly uneven breathing, creating an odd contrast.
Tia's eyes filled with sorrow and heartbreak.
"Miss… how did you end up like this!?"
Tia's voice trembled, on the verge of tears.
"It's nothing. Shia was just teaching me some fitness exercises."
Lilith forced herself to sound steady, trying to deceive her maid.
But she still shot a reproachful glare at Shia.
This was all his fault—they had been caught because of him!
