Liesel was relieved because she gotten away with stealing a book from the Mayor's library. She was waiting for Ilsa to admonish her, but Ilsa never did.

Perhaps the woman hadn’t seen her steal the book after all. It had been getting dark. Perhaps it was one of those times when a person appears to be looking directly at you when, in fact, they’re contentedly watching something else or simply daydreaming. Whatever the answer, Liesel didn’t attempt any further analysis. She’d gotten away with it and that was enough.
