No amount of paperwork is gonna bury that mountain, no sir.
Also Claire meeting Lily should be very 'interesting'
Possible 'you penetrated me' joke aside.
One a stoic kuudere for Liena
One a shouty tsundere for Liena
The "I know her better than you"-off will be very amusing to watch.
Yesssss, although to be honest I think Claire will sorrowfully cast her gaze slightly askew if Lily asserts herself as someone to be at Lienna's side, and then smile faintly and say something like "It's alright... being at Lienna's side is an honor I'm not worthy of. Be sure to fight well for her when she's too selfless to do so." And then some more gay shit will happen or smthn. It is cute how Claire says she's always adored Lienna... but it does also add a somewhat tragic bent to their relationship because it means Claire truly has felt powerless to help the girl, now woman, she's loved most, and I'm sure the recent battle in which she was nearly slain hasn't helped her feel better about that.
I do now see where the author was going with Lienna's easy acceptance of Lily last chapter. Lienna is just tired of constantly being entangled in all this, and while she is going to go back sometime, she's going to live for herself for the time being. Lienna has been destroyed by everyone needing her and never being given support. Lily, on the other hand, has just been cast aside and shown that the role she's pursued with ardor is something she's been deemed unworthy of.
Lily's entire life has been defined by punishments and rewards. When she achieves her role, she's rewarded, and when she fails she is punished. Being betrayed and devoured by a dragon is meant to be the punishment for her failure in the attack on Ardian. Surviving is a failure, needing to be saved is a failure, she hasn't done a single thing to contribute and help others in her time here. And even worse, she's actively harmed the people one of her saviors is responsible for. By what she's been raised into believing, Lily should be getting punished severely. Lienna could slowly beat her to death and Lily would think she deserves it. So when Lienna refuses to do anything harmful when Lily rightfully presents herself to be punished for her failure, it's destroying everything she's learned and been taught and seen and felt. Lienna isn't evaluating Lily on her success, in fact she's saying that previous punishment is proof she doesn't need to be treated worse instead of the mark of inadequacy Lily believes it to be.
Am I reading too far into all this? Maybe. But it's fun.
