The Villainous Noblewoman Is About to Be Forced into Love, Isn’t This Wrong? Chapter 142: Fabricating a Death

Princess Liana now looked exactly like a young girlfriend, completely different from her strong exterior presence—as if she were two different people.

“Are you going to inform Princess philia about today’s events?” Minoga asked.

“Yes.” Liana stood up and thought for a mont, deciding it would be better to take a bath first.

Liana was about to instinctively call out Loraviel’s na but quickly held it back.

This again reminded Liana of what Oliphia had just told her.

“Loraviel has been gone studying for about a week now, right?” Liana asked.

“Yes, about that long.” Minoga nodded. She hadn’t learned much about the relationship between the two, only knowing that Loraviel had discovered Princess Liana’s true personality.

She roughly understood that Loraviel felt grateful toward Princess Liana and wanted to repay her kindness.

Moreover, Loraviel had the ability and talent, which was why Minoga wanted to help her.

Could it be that Princess Liana had already noticed this?

If Princess Liana actively asked about this, it would an she had noticed, and Minoga would tell Princess Liana everything she knew.

But if Princess Liana didn’t ask, she would keep quiet.

Regarding the relationship between the two, Minoga didn’t want to interfere too much. Rather than involving outsiders, it would be better to let them resolve things themselves and make their own discoveries.

“Can you help ask if I could et with her?” Liana asked.

“Well...” Minoga was sowhat troubled. Lady Orleya’s thoughts were truly difficult to fathom, but since it was her granddaughter’s request, she should agree, right?

“I’ll ask.”

“Thank you.” Liana nodded. “Also, please check if she’s had any accidents recently, since her training involves poisons.”

“I understand. Princess Liana truly cares deeply about Miss Loraviel,” Minoga said.

“This is just what I owe her.” Liana hoped she could properly clear things up with her, at least to resolve any misunderstandings.

However, Liana could never have imagined what kind of scene would unfold when she t with Loraviel.

After she said these things, Liana went to take a simple bath.

About half an hour later, Liana walked out of the bathroom and casually waved her hand, using magic to bring the hair dryer to her hand.

“Princess Liana is now becoming quite proficient with so basic magic,” Minoga praised.

“Don’t treat like a child.” Liana also needed to gradually get used to using magic.

After simply drying her hair, Liana took the initiative to contact philia.

However, philia seed a bit busy. Just as the communication was about to end, she finally connected, followed by philia’s hurried voice, “Sorry, sorry! Liana, I’ve kept you waiting!”

But there was no image. Liana asked, “philia, are you busy with sothing?”

“Wait a mont, I’ll be ready soon.”

Liana heard what sounded like a cabinet opening, followed by rustling noises.

About two minutes later, philia’s image finally appeared before Liana.

However, philia’s golden hair tips were now dripping with water.

Now Liana understood what philia had been doing. She had been bathing, which was why she couldn’t answer the call promptly, and the rustling sounds had been her getting dressed.

“There’s no need to rush. It’s not like I couldn’t call back,” Liana said, unable to hold back a smile seeing philia’s flustered appearance.

“How can you bla !” Just ntioning this made philia upset. “This is the first ti you’ve taken the initiative to contact ! Usually, I’m the one who reaches out to you, so of course I was in a hurry!”

“...” Liana averted her eyes guiltily. philia was right, and she had no rebuttals.

“Look at !” philia said.

“Alright, alright, I’ll take the initiative to contact you more often in the future,” Liana consoled.

“You’d better!” philia clearly didn’t quite believe Liana’s words.

“I definitely will. It was just because of so special circumstances before,” Liana explained. “See, I’m taking the initiative to contact you now, aren’t I?”

“Then you must have sothing to discuss with now, right?” philia imdiately saw through Liana’s little sche.

Liana laughed awkwardly, “The main reason is to see your face.”

Although knowing full well that Liana was making excuses, philia couldn’t help but fall for it. Besides, she was already happy that Liana was taking the initiative to discuss matters with her instead of keeping things bottled up like before.

“What’s wrong? Did sothing happen?” philia asked.

“It’s not anything particularly urgent. Why don’t you fix your hair first? It must be uncomfortable having wet hair in such cold weather,” Liana said.

A few minutes later, philia had arranged her hair.

“Usually, Minoga helps you with your hair, right?” Liana asked.

“Yes,” philia nodded.

Minoga spoke up at this point, “Under normal circumstances, Princess philia completes these tasks on her own. She only asks for my help when she needs to handle so matters or communicate with Princess Liana, which effectively utilizes her ti.”

“You’re really busy.” Like Erinna, philia should have been enjoying campus life, but now, for various reasons, she carried a lot of pressure. “It probably won’t be long before Minoga can return to your side to take care of you.”

“Minoga should stay by Liana’s side to protect her.” philia waved her hands repeatedly. “It’s just drying hair, not sothing troubleso. There’s no need for Minoga to co back. Besides, if I truly have any inconveniences in daily life, I can also have a maid co to take care of .”

“No, no, no.” Liana shook her head. “Minoga must go back.”

“Why? Has Minoga done sothing to upset you?” philia asked.

“No, not at all! I really don’t mind that anymore.” Liana explained her thoughts and what she wanted to do to philia. “I want to fabricate a death—my own death.”

“What do you an?” philia frowned, her intuition telling her this was a very dangerous matter.

“If philia stays by my side, others definitely won’t make a move against . This way, it would be impossible to fake my death,” Liana said.

“So, in the end, why must you die, Liana?” philia had difficulty understanding why Liana was so fixated on this.

“Before, I was your weakness. Others wanted to exploit to expose your vulnerabilities, to prevent you from focusing on the Lisat Kingdom election, using my actions to diminish people’s trust in you,” Liana said.

“I understand that,” philia said. “But isn’t that unnecessary now? Loraviel has left, and you don’t need to disguise yourself anymore, right? Besides, I’ve gained a lot of support recently, and with the Countess Rose incident, as long as you don’t do anything excessive later, there won’t be any problems.”

Liana shook her head. “And now, I’m still your vulnerability. You have almost no competitors left. You’ve done everything to the best of your ability, and even revolutionized magic, thwarting Countess Rose’s plot. These achievents are enough to give you a significant advantage in the election. Moreover, because I’ve recently been revealed to be a normal person instead of the temperantal persona I used, using against you is simply impossible.”

“So, Liana, you have no need to die,” philia still couldn’t understand.

“But do you think they will give up on the election, philia? That’s impossible. If they ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) could easily give up, they wouldn’t have had Countess Rose do such things.”

Power struggles can be extrely cruel.

“And with Minoga not by your side, your safety will beco an issue. After all, with Minoga by my side, they can’t do anything to , so they can only target you directly,” Liana said. “Moreover, because of my existence, Erinna will face so difficulties in becoming the Duchess of Venus. That’s the second thing I wanted to discuss with you today.”

philia’s expression changed slightly. What Liana said did make so sense, but not much. “If that’s the case, just increasing so guards would suffice. Apart from the Judges, nothing would harm you, and Judges can’t act without a reason.”

Liana shook her head and relayed to philia what she had told Erinna today. “The royal family not interfering in nobility affairs has probably beco a thing of the past. They won’t just stand by and watch. For Venus Dukedom to be in its current state, they must have intervened behind the scenes.”

“Erinna is also impressive like you. Without external interference, she would definitely smoothly beco the ruler of Venus. But similarly, I am also the biggest weakness of the Venus Family. That’s the third thing I wanted to discuss with you,” Liana said.

“There’s more?” philia was starting to suspect that Liana was deliberately piling up all these matters to discuss at once, especially since Liana had only recently left the Lisat Royal Capital.

“Yes, philia, you should be well aware that the King of Lisat despises slaves, and our family follows the King of Lisat. There are almost no slaves in Venus Manor. But recently, I purchased a slave,” Liana said.

philia remained quite calm this ti. Compared to Liana’s fake death, this matter seed rather insignificant.

But Liana’s next words made philia less composed.

“She is an elf slave.”

“It couldn’t be Sephirena, could it...” philia had a bad premonition.

With Liana’s nod, philia’s suspended heart finally sank.

The matter of purchasing a slave could be barely explained, but what she purchased was the princess of elvenkind!

Still, philia also believed that Liana must have her reasons for doing this. “I understand.”

“You’re calr than I expected,” Liana said.

“I told you, as long as you don’t do anything that harms yourself, I will support you unconditionally. It’s just purchasing a slave.”

Just purchasing a slave? But this wasn’t any ordinary slave.

Nevertheless, philia’s support made Liana very happy.

“But for your previous request, I still maintain my skepticism. It’s too dangerous for you.”

Liana could anticipate that philia would never easily agree to this matter. After all, philia truly treasured her and couldn’t bear to see her get hurt.

“philia, you know I could proceed with this without telling you at all,” Liana said.

“You also know how I would react if you did this on your own,” philia would absolutely not compromise on this issue.

Liana also knew that if she really proceeded without telling philia and just forged ahead alone, philia would definitely be angry.

And it would be the kind of anger that couldn’t be soothed.

“That’s why I’m discussing this with you now, isn’t it? When I encounter things that are difficult to decide, I now actively co to talk to you, don’t I?” Liana said gently. “I know that if I engage in high-risk behaviors that put myself in danger, you would definitely be angry.”

“For your safety, for Erinna to smoothly beco the Duchess of Venus, and for to quietly begin my training without disturbance from others, this is necessary,” Liana patiently explained her reasons for wanting to do this.

“I’m still too weak right now. You having Minoga stay by my side indeed ensures my safety, but what about you? If they can’t deal with , no matter how difficult, they will co for you. You will inevitably have monts of vulnerability. I don’t want to see that happen.

But sending soone else to protect isn’t necessarily safe either, is it? You would constantly worry about my safety, which is also a ntal torture for both of us. Additionally, with the Venus Manor issue and the slave situation, I am the only breakthrough point.

I also want to quietly make up for the years I’ve wasted, practicing my magic in a place where no one knows.

And most importantly, there’s the matter of Princess Sephirena.”

“I understand.” philia bit her lip. “Give a little more ti. You need to make so preparations too, right?”

“philia, you’re the best!” Liana imdiately broke into a smile, completely different from her serious expression just now.

“I haven’t agreed yet.” philia still needed to make so preparations. She had to ensure absolute safety asures for Liana.

“Yes, yes, yes.” Liana looked at philia with a smile. Since philia had already compromised sowhat, it should definitely not be a problem. Probably now philia just wanted to prepare so things for her safety.

“What is your plan?” philia asked curiously.
