Few extra Novel insights state that when Princess Ariel was about 2-3 years old, Lilia was her personal maid cum bodyguard in the palace of Asura Kingdom. One day the princess was attacked by an assassin but Lilia saved her life but in the process lilia was badly injured on her leg and thus after her treatment she was banished from her post as princesses maid and bodyguard from the palace. Soon after that she was hired by Paul Greyrat as their maid when Zenith was pregnant for the first time with Rudeus.

Lilia’s father was a well known dojo master of swordsmanship, and he was also Paul’s master and trained him. So, Lilia was a familiar face for Paul to accept her as their maid.

Plus according to the web novel, during his swordsmanship training in the dojo, Paul forced himself on Lilia and took her virginity by force. Later, in the novel it was seen that Lilia was actually glad that her first experience was him instead of some old fatty Royals from the palace.

As we go forward in the story we will find more of these politics revolving around the Asura Kingdom and more importantly between the Gods of the World as the tension between them is rising once again.
