The Villainous Noblewoman Is About to Be Forced into Love, Isn’t This Wrong? Chapter 179: My Heart Recognized You Before My Mind Did

During these three days, Liana spent quality ti with philia, strolling around the Lisat Kingdom for several days.

However, regarding the rings, only philia wore hers. Liana temporarily didn’t wear hers to avoid causing trouble for philia.

Still, the ring on philia’s hand had sparked much discussion among people. Combined with the footage they had seen of Liana’s changes and Princess philia’s favoritism towards Liana, it was hard for them not to speculate.

However, due to their status, they didn’t dare to co forward and ask. Besides, directly asking such things would be impolite.

Moreover, what if it was just their speculation? Wouldn’t that make the relationship between the two awkward? Their own image in front of them would also be diminished. After all, given how much Princess philia doted on Liana, if she truly wore a ring, how could Liana not have one?

It was precisely because Liana wasn’t wearing a ring that they believed Princess Liana and Princess philia were just two people with a good relationship.

While the two were strolling on the street today, Kasla suddenly appeared behind them.

“Princess Liana, Princess, would you mind coming with ?” Kasla asked.

“I thought you’d co earlier,” Liana smiled. There was only one reason for this sudden visit.

That was the King of Lisat wanting to see her. Liana had been wondering—after such an incident, he surprisingly hadn’t sought a private conversation with her. Moreover, philia had wanted the him to help her.

She was about to leave, and only now did he co to find her.

Perhaps he had been doing a lot of ntal preparation for a long ti. After all, these two were his sons.

“I’ve made so preparations,” Kasla smiled. “Shall we go?”

“Mm,” Liana nodded.

Liana ca to that garden again. The old king had been waiting for them, brewing tea.

However, Liana could clearly feel that he had aged considerably.

Perhaps it was because of the things Liana had directly spoken about. If it hadn’t been said, he might have pretended not to know. But now, he had to face these issues.

“Good morning, Your Majesty.”

“No need for formalities. You don’t like that, do you? Relax a bit,” His Majesty said.

“Then, thank you, Your Majesty,” Liana and philia sat opposite of him.

Kasla and Minoga, the teacher-student duo, poured tea for them.

“Liana, how did you know about Hodwen and Oester’s matters?” the King of Lisat asked.

“It’s complicated to explain,” After all, many important things had happened since the last ti she saw him.

“We have plenty of ti to talk slowly. Here, you don’t need to worry about your safety or about others hearing this matter,” he reasoned.

Was it true that no one would hear?

Not quite. The reason for choosing this day was to invite a certain elderly person out. Liana had a very special aning to her.

anwhile, in a small room sowhere else, Orleya sat, enjoying tea poured by an assassin.

“Lady Orleya, aren’t we pressed for ti? Why suddenly let rest for a day?” This assassin was, of course, Loraviel, whom people hadn’t seen for a long ti.

At this mont, Loraviel looked sowhat sickly, her skin showing a morbid whiteness, and she had lost a lot of weight.

But her magical aura was several tis stronger than before. She just looked a bit unhealthy.

After all, dealing with poisons every day, and the training she had undergone was several tis more intense than others. This allowed her to complete her training a few days earlier to return to Liana’s side.

Of course, Orleya couldn’t let Loraviel see Liana in this state, otherwise, she would be hated by Liana. If Liana saw this, she would definitely think Orleya was torturing Loraviel.

Although the actual situation was similar? After all, the ti had been compressed. Loraviel had less than five hours of rest each day, and had been training intensively for about three months.

Her body certainly couldn’t handle it well, and it was normal for her to lose weight. Coincidentally, the few days earned through hard work could allow Loraviel to rest well and regain her spirit, at least not looking so sickly.

Otherwise, no explanation would suffice.

“Loraviel, don’t be so impatient,” Orleya’s mindset had gradually changed.

She had heard many stories about Liana from Loraviel, and whenever Minoga ca to visit Loraviel, she would also chat about Liana’s recent situation.

This included the significant events Liana had recently undertaken, which she now understood.

She was happy, satisfied, but also worried and afraid.

As philia had said before, she didn’t deserve to be called Liana’s grandmother because she had been watching all along.

She could only use this thod to make up for what she owed Liana.

“If you’re worried that my body can’t handle it, that’s unnecessary. I can fully bear the upcoming training. Poison is fatal to others, but for , it’s a secret dicine that can heal my body.”

Loraviel didn’t care about her body’s condition. What she cared about was being able to help Liana. For her, that was enough.

Moreover, as she said, poison was indeed the best healing secret dicine for her.

The agreed ti was approaching. Although she had almost completed the training arranged by Orleya, it was only almost.

“Look outside,” Orleya snapped her fingers, and the wooden boards covering the windows fell down.

Thump! Thump!

Loraviel’s heart suddenly accelerated.

Loraviel saw... Princess Liana outside?

Her heartbeat recognized Liana a step faster than her mind did.

She accidentally spilled the tea.

“Loraviel,” Orleya’s voice brought Loraviel back to her senses.

Orleya had also changed. If it were the previous her, she would definitely have scolded Loraviel. But now, she understood Loraviel’s actions.

After all, her mistress was standing outside now.

“I’m sorry, Lady Orleya,” Loraviel quickly wiped away the water stains on the table.

Her heart was beating fast.

Why?

It shouldn’t be like this.

As an excellent assassin, she should be able to perfectly control her emotions. But why, the mont she saw Liana, she was unable to calm herself down?

For an assassin, this was a significant failure, a disqualification.

Her hand was on the window, touching Liana’s figure. She couldn’t calm down.

Her brain kept telling her that she must remain calm, but her heartbeat simply wouldn’t stop.

She even had an urge to rush out and snatch Princess Liana away from Princess philia.

But she ultimately restrained herself.

This was the drawback of training thods that didn’t abandon emotions—it was very easy to lose rationality and a calm mind after seeing or hearing news of soone.

This was also the reason why Orleya had previously insisted that assassins didn’t need emotions.

But Orleya knew that what Liana wanted wasn’t such a Loraviel.

“I’m sorry, Lady Orleya. I can’t maintain a normal heart rate in front of everyone,” Loraviel proactively admitted this point.

Not to ntion, Loraviel’s heart would accelerate even when she was regularly by Liana’s side. Now, after not seeing each other for several months, how could Loraviel’s heart not beat faster?

“Watch, this matter was caused by Liana.”

“Mm.”

Over the window, Liana explained to the old king, “Second Prince Oester’s case is relatively simple—because of what Countess Rose said, and that Countess Rose alone wouldn’t dare to do this, so obviously, she had soone behind her.

“Crown Prince Hodwen’s case is more difficult because I had virtually no intersection with him. It was also due to so accidents that I accidentally discovered what he was doing in the Venus Territory. I think Crown Prince Hodwen must have made such extre actions only recently, right?” Liana asked.

“...” The King of Lisat was silent for a mont, then nodded.

It could be said that everything Oester and Hodwen had done, he had seen with his own eyes. He just hadn’t stopped them, at most giving so hints and reminders.

“The trigger for this matter was a little cat nad Tari. No, her age should be older than ,” She couldn’t misjudge Tari’s true age just because she was petite.

“I learned about everything she experienced. Plus, the mole we caught in Venus Dukedom that day also said he had sold so books from my mother’s study to the Angus Comrce Guild. Additionally, philia had told before that Your Majesty had also wanted to get rid of... no, resolve the malicious trading of the guild. That’s why I focused my attention on them.”

“But none of this has anything to do with Hodwen, does it?” The monarch asked.

According to the intelligence he had investigated, Liana hadn’t engaged in any intelligence-gathering activities. But why was she so clear about this matter?

“...” This was indeed a bit far-fetched to explain.

“This world reveres magic. Magic is wisdom bestowed upon us by the gods. So, the things sold to the comrce guild are mostly related to magic. And in our kingdom, those who have an extre pursuit of magic are only the Darriss Territory and Crown Prince Hodwen.

“The Angus Territory and the Darriss Territory were both inherited from the previous kingdom, the Darriss Kingdom. They’ve known each other for the longest ti, so it’s normal for them to have so transactions.

“And philia had also told that the Lord of Darriss’ attitude towards her was highly unfriendly. Therefore, he absolutely would not support philia. And Second Prince Oester, who had already fallen into a storm of public opinion and lost his competitiveness, wasn’t a good choice either. So, only the Crown Prince remained.”

“And the Crown Prince also needed such a territory to support him. Darriss had always been a territory that hadn’t expressed its stance. So gaining their support was very important for him. Not to ntion, with philia on the rise, if he didn’t make so changes, he would have completely lost his chance.”

“But when the Darriss Territory experienced an abnormal happenstance, it was a year ago. A year ago, philia didn’t have such a threatening presence,” the King of Lisat said.

“Indeed, as Your Majesty said, philia has only recently begun to advance rapidly. Before, the three of them had always maintained a relatively balanced state,” Liana nodded and continued.

“But the stolen magic wasn’t just the forbidden mana breakthrough thod. At that ti a year ago, It can be considered that it was just Crown Prince Hodwen’s greeting gift, a eting gift to express goodwill to the Darriss Lord. Because for them, the Lisat Kingdom could be considered an enemy, right? How could they accept Hodwen’s goodwill? But if it were precious forbidden magical knowledge, that would be different.

“I think Your Majesty should be very clear that recently Crown Prince Hodwen has been frequently visiting the Angus Comrce Guild, right? As for what he’s doing there, that’s not so clear.”

“But this is just your speculation, isn’t it?” the King of Lisat said.

“Yes, this is indeed my speculation,” How could Liana say that she was finding clues based on the answers?

“But judging from their panicked expressions, my speculation isn’t wrong. Even if it’s wrong, it doesn’t matter, because except for philia, all other competitors are unscrupulous enemies. I’m just doing to them what they did to ,” Liana said indifferently.

“And I can be sure that the Darriss Territory definitely had contact with my mother’s forbidden techniques. The Crown Prince can be left alone, but the Darriss Territory and the Angus Comrce Guild absolutely need to be eradicated. Involving Crown Prince Hodwen is just my personal desire.”

“A very surprising answer. I thought you would present so substantial evidence,” The king was sowhat surprised by Liana’s attitude.

So Liana’s original intention was just to get rid of the Darriss Territory and the Angus Territory, these two tumors, and Hodwen was just incidental?

“Substantial evidence will be provided by ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) soone else. Ti will tell everything,” Liana looked at philia beside her. “Ti will tell who the true monarch suitable for Lisat... I’m sorry... who the true heir suitable for the Lisat Kingdom will be.”

The words Liana had just spoken could get her beheaded.

Wasn’t this saying that the current King of Lisat Kingdom wasn’t good?

But the king himself didn’t care about these small details. He took a sip of tea and looked at Liana, “Even if you might face death because of this?”

“Then why don’t you control them? You’re their father,” Liana’s words struck right at the King of Lisat’s heart.

This could be said to be the most painful thing in his life, tens of tis more painful than the wounds on his body when he cut off the King of Darriss’ head.

“...You really dare to say anything, don’t you?” He smiled helplessly.
