Upon hearing the maid's voice, Liliana was slightly startled but quickly regained her composure, adopting a nonchalant expression.
"Lyra, since Athena has arrived, I must go greet her with Leon right away," Liliana said calmly, then added, "Please prepare some tea for us in the parlor."
Lyra nodded and bowed respectfully. "Yes, Your Majesty. Leave it to me."
Liliana smiled without saying more and began walking towards the door. Suddenly, she paused as something crossed her mind.
"By the way, Lyra, I nearly forgot," Liliana said, turning back. "I need you to keep Fiona, Charlotte, Iris, and Stella in their rooms and ensure they don't leave while Athena is in the palace. Can you handle that?"
Lyra was startled and confused by the request, but she quickly composed herself and nodded, replying in a flat tone, "I can, Your Majesty. Don't worry, I will look after the three young ladies and young Lady Stella in their rooms while Empress Athena is in the palace."
