The Villainous Noblewoman Is About to Be Forced into Love, Isn’t This Wrong? Chapter 139: Erinna’s Room
“Loraviel...”
The next day, Liana awoke from her sleep and instinctively called out Loraviel’s na.
“Princess Liana has truly beco accustod with Loraviel,” Minoga appeared in the room at this mont.
“...” Liana herself was sowhat dejected. This was completely an instinctive behavior after waking up.
It shouldn’t be like this, right? She had only lived with Loraviel for three months. It shouldn’t be this dramatic, should it?
Was it because Loraviel had spoiled her too well?
“Although I can understand Princess Liana’s feelings—after all, Miss Loraviel is an exceptionally excellent and hardworking maid—I still hope that Princess Liana could pay a bit more attention,” Minoga reminded.
This made Liana a bit unhappy. Even if she accidentally called out soone else’s na at ho, there wasn’t anything that needed special attention, was there?
“What do you an by ‘pay attention’?”
“Princess Liana, if others hear it, there might not be any unexpected issues, but you should rember that your status now is sowhat different from before,” Minoga reminded.
“Oh? How is it different?” Liana wanted to see what Minoga intended to say.
“If Princess philia heard this, although she wouldn’t say anything, she would definitely feel sowhat uncomfortable inside,” Minoga said.
“...” What Minoga said did seem to make sense.
Liana didn’t dare imagine what would happen if, while living with philia, she suddenly called out Loraviel’s na upon waking up in the sa bed. She had no idea how severely philia would punish her.
Liana glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost noon. During this period, Liana had beco sowhat lax in her training.
But hadn’t she already dealt with most of the current crises that needed to be resolved?
She should have so ti for training now. Moreover, with Minoga by her side, she could ask her about magic-related questions.
For faking her death, she needed to make so preparations in advance and find a suitable place for seclusion, sowhere where she wouldn’t be disturbed.
She would entrust philia with finding such a place.
Liana got out of bed. Since Sephirena had just arrived at the Lisat Manor, breakfast and the like would still be prepared by Minoga.
Liana also knew that the heroines each had their own roles, just like Loraviel was specifically the maid responsible for daily life and an assassin for gathering intelligence.
Sephirena belonged to the combat team, the main damage dealer of the group.
Liana didn’t expect Sephirena to be like Loraviel, who has a natural talent for being a maid, able to master what a maid should do in just a few days.
As long as she grasped the basics within a month, it would be fine. After all, Liana really was just treating her as a maid. Just bringing als on ti would be enough.
After a simple breakfast, Liana heard a knock at the door.
Liana almost instinctively called Loraviel’s na again, but she ultimately held back.
Due to Minoga’s special identity, she generally wouldn’t appear in everyone’s sight. In ordinary people’s eyes, Liana was currently living alone. She opened the door to see soone standing in front.
“Erinna?” Liana looked at the young woman before her. Her face was filled with fatigue. It seed that she still hadn’t rested well these past few days.
“Are you alright?” Liana asked with concern, then added, “You’d better not get exhausted. I don’t want to take over this ss. It’s too troubleso. We can’t expect that fellow Cain, can we?”
But thinking back, since that day when Cain went berserk and suddenly attacked her, getting arrested afterward, Liana hadn’t seen him again.
However, he wouldn’t dare do anything to her now. Even if he dared, it wouldn’t have any effect.
“This is nothing to ,” Erinna knew her own body well. She had been resting appropriately. If she fell ill now, much of what she had done before would have to be redone. This was the most difficult ti for Venus Manor.
“Can you co with for a mont? I have sothing I want to tell you,” Erinna said.
“I have no interest in Venus Dukedom matters. Of course, I’m even less interested in your affairs. So, I have absolutely no need to waste my ti,” Liana now just wanted to check on Sephirena.
After all, she was currently a very unstable elent. If not careful, accidents might occur, so Liana couldn’t be careless.
Erinna also knew that using ordinary thods to invite Liana wouldn’t work; she would definitely refuse. But now it was different.
“Erinna, this is sothing that can help Princess philia,” Although the relationship between philia and Liana hadn’t been publicly announced yet, after seeing them so intimate before, Erinna already had a good idea.
Plus, Liana had ntioned before that she wanted to help philia. So, as long as philia was used as bait, Liana would definitely take it.
Sure enough, after hearing about philia, Liana’s expression clearly showed a mont of hesitation.
After all, Liana’s strength was currently too weak. She wasn’t sure how far she could go in the future. So now, as long as it was sothing that could help philia, Liana would do her best to help.
“If you’re really not interested, then forget it,” Erinna said indifferently, then yawned. She really did look tired. “I’ll go back to rest then.”
“Since I have nothing to do now, I don’t mind listening to what you have to say,” Liana said.
“Don’t force yourself. I won’t force you. And I’m really quite tired now and need to go back to rest,” Erinna stretched.
Eh? You!
“I’m not wasting my ti for you; I’m doing this for philia. Aren’t you also working hard for the Lisat Kingdom?” Liana said. “Hurry up, don’t waste ti, or I’ll really leave.”
“Alright,” Erinna looked at Liana’s slightly anxious expression, finding it quite cute. “Co with , Sister Liana.”
“?” Did Liana just hear a strange form of address?
But Erinna had already moved on, so Liana could only follow behind her. However, this path seed sowhat familiar...
“Where are you going?”
“Since it’s about so matters concerning the Lisat Kingdom, let’s go to my room and talk slowly, to avoid being overheard by strange people,” Erinna said.
“Oh,” Liana simply responded.
It wasn’t as if the other could do anything to her. Although she had previously behaved badly, Liana was certain that since coming to this world, the only person she had wronged was Loraviel.
For others, Liana was sure that even if she had done sothing not quite right, it was only minor, not as serious as with Loraviel, and there had always been so form of compensation.
Moreover, Liana was ten thousand percent certain that she had never done anything to wrong Erinna. Since coming to this world, her etings with Erinna hadn’t even reached double digits.
So, this ti, it was safe.
Speaking of which, how long had it been since Liana had visited Erinna’s room?
Liana rembered that Erinna’s room used to have many stuffed animals. They were bought by her mother to make her feel at ease when she first ca to the Venus Territory.
Her favorite at that ti seed to be a teddy bear, it seed?
According to what she said then, the reason she liked the teddy bear was because it resembled her?
Liana didn’t think so. She couldn’t see how a teddy bear resembled her at all.
Erinna took out a key and opened her door. When Liana first walked in, she was stunned.
This room...
Why was the layout exactly the sa as her own room?
Liana had a mont of doubt: had she really not entered the wrong room?
“What’s wrong?” But Erinna didn’t seem to notice anything unusual.
If she asked about this now, wouldn’t it seem a bit strange? Would it make Erinna think that she had imdiately observed the layout of soone else’s room upon entering, which would be impolite or even perverse?
Besides, the layout of noble rooms, unless deliberately changed, was generally the sa template. This design was more convenient.
Liana’s own room hadn’t been extensively redecorated, so it was normal for it to have so similarities with Erinna’s room.
And! It wasn’t completely the sa. The bedding and costics and the like would have so differences.
Liana tried her best to convince herself, avoiding noticing why there were two wardrobes and two dressing tables in Erinna’s room.
Because the room’s layout was almost a one-to-one replica of her room, Liana smoothly approached the table.
Liana looked at the tea on the table. It was what she had given Erinna recently. It had been opened and brewed quite a bit. It seed she really did like it.
“If you have sothing to say, say it quickly. Don’t waste my ti,” Liana urged impatiently.
Erinna sat across from Liana. “I hope that after a while, you can relay what we’re saying now to Princess philia. Liana, you should be able to contact ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ Princess philia, right?”
“If it’s really important, I will explain it clearly to Princess philia.”
“Of course, this matter might also affect your situation, and it might cause the Venus Dukedom to completely change its na,” Erinna put away her previously relaxed expression, becoming sowhat serious and solemn.
Changing the na of Venus Dukedom? This wasn’t hard to guess the reason.
“Who dared threaten us? And what gives them the right to threaten us? What have they done for the Venus Duchy? What have they done for the Lisat Kingdom?” Liana’s tone rarely carried a hint of anger.
These beasts, they were all so well-behaved when her father was around.
After Countess Rose’s death, when Venus Manor was in an unstable state, they ca out ready to compete again?
Weren’t they just taking advantage of Venus Manor not having a stable lord yet?
Although they had verbally agreed to let Erinna beco the acting lord, what they were doing in private was unclear.
“Liana, you might need to endure a bit of hardship during this period,” Erinna said.
“Endure hardship? What do you an?” Liana didn’t quite understand what Erinna was saying.
“Because you bear the Venus na, all your current actions represent Venus. Although Countess Rose was previously just putting on a show, she did it well on the surface, which is why others wanted to make a move on our Venus Head position but didn’t have a reason to act.”
Liana naturally knew this point. This was also one of the reasons why Liana hadn’t wanted to directly eliminate Countess Rose before—because Countess Rose could indeed keep these people in check.
“So, every move Venus Manor makes now will be magnified infinitely in others’ eyes. As long as they catch you doing sothing not quite right, they might use it as an excuse to deal with you,” Erinna said.
“So, you’re now asking not to do anything too excessive?” Liana asked.
“Yes.”
“That’s no problem. After all, compared to others, you’re more reliable,” Liana said. “But this way, you owe two favors.”
Erinna nodded. “Of course, I’ll rember.”
Perfect, without doing anything, Liana had made Erinna owe her another favor.
But Liana also realized that Erinna’s current situation was much worse.
Second Prince Oester and Crown Prince Hodwen would definitely also notice the current situation of the Venus Territory.
Or rather, the current situation might have been caused by their intervention.
After all, on the surface, only the Venus Dukedom was supporting philia now. If they resolved the dukedom’s issue, the number of people supporting philia would drastically increase.
In the current situation, there was no need to care about so-called rules. There were already many people not following the rules. If they still focused on those dead rules at this ti, they would be the ones at a disadvantage.
“By the way, Liana,” Erinna’s real purpose in finding Liana wasn’t this.
After all, Erinna knew very well that Liana wouldn’t do anything strange now. At such a ti, she should be more clear-headed than anyone, so there was no need to specially tell Liana about this. Letting Liana know these things was just an excuse to get her to co.
What she mainly wanted to know was, “I heard from Naibert that when you ca back in the early morning, you brought soone with you. Is she your new maid?”
“Yes, what about it?” Liana looked at Erinna.
“If it’s a maid, we have many excellent maids in Venus Manor. But from what Naibert told , she’s a complete novice, needing to be trained from the beginning. Why not directly choose a suitable maid from our Venus Manor?” Erinna asked.
“Oh, you seem to have misunderstood sothing. She’s not my maid, but my slave,” Liana said.
“Slave?” Erinna’s brow slightly furrowed.
“Yes, a slave. What’s wrong? Is purchasing a slave sothing strange?”
