"Are you sure?" Liana asked, her tone soft but her eyes sharp, still watching Mimi intently.
"Yes, nya~! Mimi sure!" the beastkin princess replied confidently, standing tall with both hands on her hips, ears twitching proudly.
Liana let out a small, reassuring sigh, her shoulders easing just a bit. She then turned to Gloria.
"Do you think… she's telling the truth?"
"Ara~ Maybe," Gloria answered thoughtfully, adjusting her glasses with an elegant, composed smile.
"Well…" Liana looked back at Mimi again, her voice calm but cautious. "Let's hope what this catgirl says is true."
"Nya! Mimi always says true!" Mimi declared proudly, tail swishing with pride.
Liana gave a tiny, skeptical nod, then pressed further, "So, this sister of yours… she's really that strict?"
"Yea~!" Mimi nodded rapidly. "Rules every day! Wake up on time, don't eat sweets before dinner, always study, always wear proper clothes—even when relaxing! Nya~ Scary."
Gloria blinked, expression unreadable.
"Oh."
