The information appeared in her mind, and she tried her best to ignore it, but failed, as her body still trembled from the terrifying trial she had just gone through. 

Suddenly, the door to her room was kicked open, and three women entered with concerned looks on their faces. 

Taking a deep breath, the young elf slowly stood up, immediately noticing that the weakness that had once plagued her body was completely gone. 

In fact, her body felt better than it had ever felt in either of her lives. 

She could sense the mana flowing properly through her body—strange, yet not unpleasant. 

"Holy hell, am I taller?" she thought as she finally noticed the clear difference in her surroundings. 

"V-Valeria?" 

Suddenly, Seraphina remembered she wasn't alone when she heard the familiar, melodious voice that she knew all too well. 

Her mother on Earth had been a cruel woman, never showing her love from the moment she was born. 

But the woman in front of her now—this was the kind of mother anyone would be overjoyed to have. 

She had long, flowing silver hair with two black horns resting proudly atop her head. She wore elegant white and blue robes, befitting her status as the most favored princess of a powerful empire. 

Her bright purple eyes gazed at the woman in front of her, filled with confusion and hope. 

After experiencing all of Seraphina's memories, it was impossible for her not to be moved by her arrival, even a little. 

Before she knew it, she was responding warmly, as though she had done so a thousand times before. 

"No... it's me, mother." 

"Seraphina?!" 

'She looks pretty surprised... I must've changed more than just my height.' 

Thud! 

Seraphina watched in horror as her mother's eyes rolled back and she collapsed face-first onto the floor. 

"Mom!" 

"Mother!" 

"Oh gods, somebody help!" 

Almost as if on cue, a medical team consisting of a small group of healing mages arrived on the scene, led by the head butler, Magnus. 

Magnus glanced between Selene and the unfamiliar woman in front of him for what seemed like an eternity, trying to piece together what had just occurred. 

"It's me, old man. Now, can you please help my mother? I think she just fainted from shock." 

Magnus's eyes widened in realization as he understood that the woman in front of him was indeed the young lady he had been serving all this time. "…Completely understandable." 

"Alright, everyone! Help her get to her room," the white-haired old elf instructed, organizing the healing mages who, like him, were staring at Seraphina in confusion. 

'Did I get uglier or something?' 

As the healers began helping Selene, Seraphina turned her gaze to the two women who had entered with her. Her heart immediately began to race. 

They looked just as beautiful as she remembered, leaving her speechless. 

Noticing that she had probably been staring too long, she stammered the first words that came to mind. 

"Ah... hello, girls... You both look as lovely as ever." 

Miriel: "Thank you, and I must say, you look..." 

Kaela: "Brand fucking new!" 

At her words, everyone in the room nodded furiously in agreement, causing the elf to scratch her cheek in slight embarrassment. 

She hadn't noticed before, but both of her wives were giving her very strange looks, and she had no idea what they meant. 

'Hey bib, do you know why they're looking at me like that?' 

< Answer: The individual known as Miriel is gazing at the host with lust. > 

'Lust? Me?' 

< Correct, after analyzing the individual's facial muscles and eye patterns, the bib has found this answer to be the most likely. > 

'Uhhh... and Kaela?' 

While Miriel's face was flushed and she was avoiding Seraphina's gaze, Kaela was staring at her openly with a predatory smile. 

< The individual known as Kaela is looking at the host as a potential combatant. > 

< 'Sizing you up,' if you will. > 

That simple answer only served to multiply Seraphina's confusion even further. 

Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and moved toward the mirror to see why everyone was acting so strangely around her. 

Kaela and Miriel seemed to understand what she was about to do, and stood on either side of her as she looked into the mirror. 

Staring back at Seraphina was a tall, ebony-skinned woman with glowing violet eyes, four black horns, and long, silvery-white hair. 

The scrawny girl she had once seen was gone, replaced by a woman with such a perfectly defined body it could make even the most beautiful models on Earth feel insecure about their appearance. 

Looking at this complete stranger in the reflection, all Seraphina could think was... 

"Who the fuck is this?"
