The Villainous Noblewoman Is About to Be Forced into Love, Isn’t This Wrong? Chapter 126: The Elf Princess

“Liana and I have always had a good relationship, it’s just even better now,” philia said, holding Liana’s hand protectively, as if guarding food.

“And now, Liana is willing to change for . For the mistakes she made before, I certainly won’t say they never happened. I’ll bear them with her. So, give Liana another chance, alright?” philia said.

Since Loraviel had left and the matter with Countess Rose had concluded—even though Oester hadn’t been caught—the affair was considered resolved. Liana probably had no reason to keep pretending anymore.

Liana didn’t say anything, and indeed, philia’s statent made perfect sense now, from any perspective.

“Liana, are you willing to change for the Princess?” Erinna’s golden eyes fell on Liana. “Then I’ll look forward to it. Thank you for your gift. I really like you, Liana.”

Erinna seed to have a hidden aning in her words. Where should this sentence pause? Only the person who spoke it would know.

“Oh right, Liana, regarding tomorrow’s matter, the Princess has already told . You’re going to the Lisat Royal Capital with the Princess, right?” Erinna asked.

“Yes, why?” Liana asked.

“Tomorrow, the Grand Princess of the Elves is coming to our Lisat Kingdom. This is naturally a very significant event. King Lisat has requested representatives from all five territories to attend and learn about the elfkind. But recently, I can’t get away from Venus Dukedom affairs. Could you trouble yourself to be the representative for our Venus Dukedom?” Erinna asked.

“I can, but you’ll owe a favor,” Liana naturally couldn’t miss any opportunity now.

This Erinna was dangerous! She had to leave herself so leeway.

“Of course. Thank you for your help,” Erinna didn’t hesitate and agreed imdiately.

OK! Securing a favor from Erinna. If there was anything she needed help with later, she now had so leverage for negotiation.

After Erinna left, Liana and philia also left the conference room.

“Today, whose room shall we go to?” philia asked.

“...Um, tomorrow we’ll be traveling far, right? Let’s not do that kind of thing,” Liana said. It was mainly because of yesterday’s double battles that made Liana sowhat fearful now. It wasn’t that she couldn’t handle it!

philia gave Liana a sidelong glance. “Liana, you’re so lewd!”

“Huh?” How did this beco about her?

“Are we only going to sleep together when doing that kind of thing?” philia asked.

Eh? Wait, what? Who’s accusing who first!

“Then let’s go to my room,” Liana said.

After all, her room had magical tools for training, and she could also ask philia so questions about magic.

How to quickly increase her magic capacity limit—otherwise, no matter how many ideas she had, she couldn’t realize them.

After returning to the room, philia locked the door, but didn’t initiate an attack on her as Liana thought.

Liana took out a magic stone from a box and infused it with magical power. It had been a while since she’d done this, so she was a bit rusty. With a slight mistake, the magic stone shattered in Liana’s hand.

“Don’t rush. Take it slowly. Once your body rembers this feeling, you’ll be able to use it naturally,” philia said, grabbing Liana’s hand from behind. “Close your eyes and feel carefully. All these magic stones are irregular, varying in size.”

“This is to prevent you from morizing by rote. If they were all the sa, for a period of ti afterward, you would subconsciously use this frequency of magical power,” philia explained.

“Alright,” Liana took a deep breath.

After closing her eyes, her focus indeed beca easier to concentrate. As Liana touched the magic stone, a silhouette of the stone appeared in the dark world, with an empty center, as if sothing was missing.

“Take it slow,” philia’s voice echoed in Liana’s ears.

Liana gradually infused magical power into it, and finally, a perfectly full magic stone appeared in her hand.

Perhaps because of Liana’s own innate magic, the magic stone before her looked more like a jade stone—quite beautiful and dazzling.

philia looked at the magic stone in Liana’s hand. “You succeeded.”

“Yes!” Liana held the small magic stone. This was her first success, so she couldn’t help feeling excited.

“Regarding how to increase the storage limit of magical power, is training the only way?” Liana asked.

“Yes, only through continuous training can you increase your affinity with magic, making your body accept magic particles, gradually adapting,” philia said.

“How long did it take you to reach your current level, philia?” Liana asked. philia’s current strength was roughly around the level of an High Archmage, right?

“About three years? However, everyone’s affinity with magic is different, and it’s related to one’s innate magic and environnt. In short, it improves gradually through constant consumption and recovery,” philia said.

“Of course, everyone’s magic storage growth also has a certain limit. When you reach the point where you can’t improve anymore, that’s your limit, just like Oliphia. She’s an example of soone who has reached her limit. This is also a sort of... divine gift? But since you’ve managed to modify incantations, perhaps you could change this too.”

philia took the magic stone from Liana’s hand. “Good quality. You could even sell it to those magic shops.”

“Magic shops?”

“Mm-hmm, people at magic shops use these magic stones to make so magical tools, like the hair dryers we often use and the magic stones in bathrooms for raising water temperature,” philia said.

“How much do they cost?”

“Three copper coins.”

“And how much does a blank magic stone cost?” Liana asked.

“One silver coin.”

“...” This was purely only working for them.

“Of course, you don’t necessarily have to sell these magic stones. You can keep them to replace depleted magic stones in so magical tools. However, this was a long ti ago. Nowadays, people use their own magical power to power magical tools, so magic stones are only used in so special scenarios and certain magical tools,” philia said.

This small amount of money wasn’t even enough for Liana’s travel expenses. Liana herself wasn’t in desperate need of such money, especially now that she had philia to rely on.

If she wanted to make money this way, she’d be better off creating a couple more costic products. That would bring in money faster. She might as well keep these as collectibles, as ntos.

Later, after several attempts, Liana also learned her current magical power limit.

Compared to before, she had improved sowhat, now able to perform six magical power infusions.

According to philia, the capacity of one magic stone could roughly power one basic spell. This ant that Liana could now use about six basic spells.

Liana looked at the three completed magic stones, including the one that shattered at the beginning. Now, Liana’s success rate had reached fifty percent, which was quite good.

Of course, Liana still had so magic power left. If she had consud all her magical power, she would probably have fainted again due to the side effects.

“Good job,” philia wiped the sweat from Liana’s forehead with a wet wipe.

To achieve such a success rate, philia’s help on the side was indispensable. Previously, without anyone’s guidance, Liana could only rely on her own intuition.

It seed that she indeed needed to find a suitable teacher, but as philia had ntioned, her innate magic was special, sothing that had never appeared before.

Loraviel’s was rare but had appeared before. As for Liana’s, she could only explore it herself.

philia went to Liana’s wardrobe. “Liana, may I borrow your clothes? I’m too lazy to go back and get mine.”

philia’s room wasn’t far from Liana’s; she simply wanted to wear Liana’s clothes.

“Hmm? Sure,” Liana didn’t mind much. “You go bathe first then. I’ll study the incantations a bit more.”

If she could translate the incantations into understandable text, tinkering with magic would be as simple as breathing.

“Hmm? At this point, are you still being shy?” philia took Liana’s hand. “Now, of course, we should bathe together.”

“Is that appropriate?” Although the two had already had close contact, Liana was still sowhat embarrassed about this.

“What’s inappropriate about it?” philia hugged Liana from behind, kissing her shoulder. “I won’t do anything to you.”

“...” Wait, philia, your actions don’t match your words at all!

“Fine,” Liana thought about it and indeed couldn’t find a reason to refuse.

The two went to the bathroom, and philia quickly undid her clothes, revealing her magnificent beauty to Liana.

Why could philia so naturally undress? Even after what had happened, Liana still felt sowhat embarrassed.

And it was really... so big.

Liana lowered her head, looking at her own pitiful little buns.

The food in the Lisat Royal Capital must be really good!

But how to explain Erinna then? They lived in the sa place, and before coming to Venus Manor, Erinna was even severely malnourished.

Yet now, Erinna’s developnt could rival philia’s. Those ripe fruits looked very tempting. How co all the female protagonists developed so well, while Liana fell short?

Anyway, it definitely wasn’t Liana’s problem. It was absolutely that bastard Countess Rose’s fault! It must be that forbidden drug!

“What’s wrong? Don’t tell this is how you usually bathe?” philia asked.

Only then did Liana begin to undo her buttons, but when she was about to take off her top, she suddenly froze.

Yesterday, philia had bitten her shoulder, leaving teeth marks. She didn’t know if they had disappeared. More importantly...

Yesterday, hadn’t Loraviel also bitten her shoulder? If philia saw two sets of teeth marks, wouldn’t that...

“If you’re really shy, don’t force yourself,” philia said.

When philia wasn’t paying attention, Liana secretly glanced at her shoulder in the mirror. Fortunately, the teeth marks seed to have disappeared.

Liana undid her clothes, leaving only her undergarnts. Her fair skin had already been tinged with a layer of pink, looking very enticing.

“The temperature in the bathroom shouldn’t be that hot, right?” philia ca behind Liana at this mont, reaching out to undo the button on Liana’s back.

Liana’s bra fell off, and she instinctively reached out to hold it, preventing it from falling.

This shy appearance was extrely adorable.

“You can’t bathe properly like this,” philia said, placing her hands on either side of Liana’s thighs, removing Liana’s last line of defense.

“Alright, let help you wash your hair, okay?” philia took Liana’s hand, making her sit down.

philia used hot water to wet Liana’s hair, gently washing it for her.

The bathroom was very quiet, with only the ‘swoosh swoosh’ sound of hair being rubbed.

“Do we have to get up early tomorrow morning?” Liana asked.

“Yes, since we’ve arranged to et in the afternoon, and the other party is an important guest, we naturally can’t be late. Of course, if Liana can’t get up early, we can set off for the Lisat Royal Capital now,” philia said.

“That’s not necessary,” Liana could get up early for important matters, though she might be a bit drowsy. Besides, Liana didn’t usually sleep in.

“When going to see the elf princess tomorrow, don’t we need to prepare sothing?” Liana asked.

“Of course, I’ve prepared so gifts. After all, the other party is a very important guest. Other nobles will probably also present gifts to the elfkind. Though it’s said to be an exchange of magic, the main purpose is to build a friendly bridge with the elves,” philia said.

The person coming was Grand Princess Avira, who was relatively easy to talk to. Normal communication shouldn’t be a problem. At least she wouldn’t do anything too difficult for the Lisat Kingdom.

“I see...”

Tomorrow, she’d see if she could inquire about Sephirena from Grand Princess Avira or obtain so tokens.

Ideally, Grand Princess Avira would directly take Sephirena back to the Elf Forest, but this was unlikely. Sephirena currently hated the Elf Forest.

“All done. Close your eyes,” philia said.

“Okay,” Liana closed her eyes, and hot water rinsed the foam from her head.

Just as Liana thought it was over and was about to stand up, philia said, “Alright, now for the body.”

Liana felt a soft sensation behind her, and she could sense two things rubbing against her. What was philia using to scrub her back?!

“I wonder what kind of person Grand Princess Avira is, whether her personality is easy to get along with,” philia said with so concern.

“Since this was brought up by the other party, they probably want to show goodwill. Sending Grand Princess Avira demonstrates their sincerity, so she should be relatively easy to talk to,” Liana said. She was feeling so tornted now. philia was definitely doing this on purpose.

“Is that so? I truly hope the other party is easy to talk to, since this is the first ti in so many years that they’ve actively approached us.

“Co to think of it, this is all thanks to Liana. If it weren’t for Liana, no one would have thought that magic could be modified and created. We must give Liana so reward,” philia said, and her hands began to wander again.

Because her body was covered in foam and slippery, philia’s hands easily slid under Liana’s arms, cupping those adorable beauties.

“philia?” Is this what you call a reward?

“Liana, you seem quite concerned?” philia gently bit Liana’s earlobe.

“Not at all,” Liana replied, as if a sore spot had been poked.

“Really? But every ti you see , you seem to unconsciously look at a certain area, and then at your own,” philia asked.

“...?” Liana fell silent.

“Actually, Liana, you’re not small at all. One hand can cover it just right,” philia said, and her hand was already moving, one hand covering it perfectly—not too much, not too little.

Liana certainly knew this, but seeing these female protagonists all larger than herself, Liana felt nurically targeted. She was being targeted by the author who had created these characters!

“However, I do have a way that might help Liana grow a bit?” philia said.

“What way?”

Liana felt a circular motion, left and right, and finally a gentle pinch.

“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore,” philia didn’t continue, just a slight joke was enough.

“Liana, you’re already perfect as you are. Don’t worry so much about it. I already super-like you as you are now. Or... are you planning to make them bigger to show other won?” philia said, and her tone shifted again.

“How could that be?!”

“So, this is enough,” philia smiled sweetly.

The two ca out of the bathroom. After dressing Liana in her nightgown, philia felt her chest was a bit tight...

But for now, it was better not to ntion it to Liana. Liana seed to have so fixation on breasts, and she might get upset.

Just... when Liana wore this nightgown later, she might notice sothing slightly off.

Never mind that for now. After all, Liana wasn’t short on nightgowns, and now philia could openly hug Liana to sleep.

She no longer needed to hug that doll from before. ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) The real person was better—soft and fragrant.

The next day, while the moon was still hanging in the sky, philia was already standing at the dressing table, helping Liana with her hairstyle and makeup.

Liana was truly clueless about these matters. The hairstyles she was good at were limited to single ponytail, twin ponytails, and side ponytail.

“Still sleepy?” philia looked at Liana, who seed sowhat groggy.

Liana had been fine when she first got up, but now, sitting at the dressing table waiting for philia to do her makeup, she couldn’t move around freely and was terribly drowsy.

“I’m okay,” If philia hadn’t been talking to her continuously, she would have probably fallen asleep already.

“Princess, Princess Liana, the carriage is ready,” Minoga appeared before the two.

“Then let’s set off.”

This ti, only three people set out together.

Since coming to this world, this was the first ti Liana had traveled far without Loraviel, mainly because she couldn’t bring her now.

After boarding the carriage, Liana started to doze off.

philia’s hand supported Liana’s small head, letting her lie on her lap. “Rest well.”

“Mm...”

If only Loraviel were here now, another entry would be added to the observation diary.

‘Liana had no resistance to vehicles; once traveling far, she tended to get drowsy.’

After about four hours, philia gently tapped Liana’s shoulder.

“Liana, we’ve arrived.”

Liana sat up, still a bit dazed. She looked out the window. The Lisat Royal Capital seed sowhat quieter than during the celebration.

Liana stretched, finding philia’s thighs indeed comfortable to sleep on.

As soon as Liana stepped out of the carriage, she shivered.

Outside, it was truly cold. Despite wearing many warm clothes, Liana still felt sowhat chilly.

“It’ll be better once we’re inside,” philia said. This winter’s temperature was indeed lower than in previous years.

philia led Liana to the reception room, which was already prepared with many sumptuous refreshnts and high-quality wine.

The decorations were very luxurious, surpassing those of the previous celebration. After all, this was an important matter concerning relations with another race, so naturally, they couldn’t be remiss.

Soon, several prominent marquises gradually entered. Liana saw several familiar figures. Representatives from most territories had arrived, except for the Darriss March1The territory ruled by a marquess or marchioness if it’s a woman.

“Marquess Darriss said he was researching a new magic, so he couldn’t get away for the mont. And since everyone in the Darriss March is obsessed with magic, they simply decided not to co,” philia explained.

This excuse was clearly quite absurd, but everyone present was used to it, as Darriss’s arrogance was well-known.

However, philia and Liana didn’t think it was that simple.

philia had told Liana about what happened on the day of the celebration declaration. The Darriss March seed to disagree with what philia had said.

This hadn’t happened in the original work, since there was no celebration event in the original, nor was there spellcrafting and gem creation magic.

It could be said that from the mont the celebration began, Liana had started an unknown future.

However, in the original work, the Darriss Territory was also a villain, and philia’s previous actions had clearly intensified Darriss’ hatred for the Lisat Kingdom.

Moreover, given their territory’s obsession with magic, they couldn’t possibly be uninterested in elf magic.

After all, elf magic was quite mysterious, more like commanding forces of nature in battle.

As for what the Darriss Lord said to philia that day—

It was rely that he felt his status threatened. Before spellcrafting, people admired older mages more.

After all, without the ability to create magic or to learn magic more conveniently through understanding incantations, age equated to wisdom. The older the mage, the more magic they had encountered, the more spells they knew, and the higher their status.

But the ergence of spellcrafting changed that. This seriously threatened the status of the Darriss Marquess, which was the real reason for his anger.

Divine will? To hell with that! Only the power one truly enjoyed was real!

Perhaps the Darriss Marquess was indeed researching new magic now?

But now, this wasn’t the most important matter.

Liana’s gaze turned to the entrance, where she saw the familiar King of Lisat, and several elves behind him.

She was like a cold flower, her silver-white hair flowing down to her thighs, with tiny particles of light floating at the tips, as if the entire Milky Way had been shrunk into her silk-like hair. The elves’ characteristic pointed ears peeked out from the hair on either side. The ear cartilage, thin to the point of near transparency, bore faint golden runes unique to the royal bloodline on the inner side, flickering like fireflies in rhythm with her breathing, appearing very sacred and mysterious.

That almost inhuman beauty carried a sharp sense of being unreachable, making people keep their distance.

She raised her golden eyelashes, looking at everyone. Her crimson eyes seed to contain ancient magical markings, and everyone who beheld those eyes felt calm.

She parted her red lips, and her gentle voice, like a spring breeze, soothed everyone. “Esteed ones of the Lisat Kingdom, greetings. I am the Grand Princess of the Elf Forest, Avira Tiael.”
