The Villainous Noblewoman Is About to Be Forced into Love, Isn’t This Wrong? Chapter 198: Recognized by the Tree of Life

“Is that so? But wouldn’t delaying be bad news for Lisat Kingdom? The Elf Forest won’t form an alliance with an unstable country. Sister Avira has to be responsible for the entire Elf Forest,” Sephirena said. “This shouldn’t be a difficult choice for Princess Liana, right?”

“You seem to be constantly trying to get to order you to return to the Elf Forest.” Sephirena’s intention was too obvious not to notice.

“Am I?” Sephirena said nonchalantly. Whether her intentions were exposed didn’t matter much to her, and now she already knew Princess Liana’s choice.

“Aren’t you?”

“Then I suppose I am.” Sephirena shrugged. “So, why doesn’t Princess Liana simply order to go back? Wouldn’t that be beneficial for all of us?”

“I hate making decisions for others.”

“Even if that decision is all benefit and no harm to Princess Liana?”

“I don’t need to rely on soone else’s sacrifice to achieve my goals,” Liana said very seriously.

Indeed, it was just as Sephirena had thought—Princess Liana was this kind of person.

“Princess Liana is truly a very strange person,” Sephirena said.

“No, I just don’t need to use such thods. Even without you, I have my ways,” Liana said.

“Is that so? But isn’t this the simplest, most convenient thod? You could also get rid of , this troublemaker, and not have to worry about my affairs. Isn’t that good?” Sephirena said.

“You’re soone who has helped greatly—no, an elf who has helped greatly. How could you be called a troublemaker? Moreover, this quality of yours is precisely why I sought you out.”

In the past, Sephirena might have truly believed Liana’s words, but now, Sephirena knew that Princess Liana was a person who very much liked to ddle in others’ affairs.

“After saying all this, what’s most important is still your own thoughts, isn’t it?” Liana looked directly into Sephirena’s blood-red eyes. “Do you want to go back? Now that you know Princess Avira’s thoughts, are you still willing to return to your holand and see your family?”

“...”

“I’m not very clear on, nor do I fully understand, the affairs of you elves, so I can’t make the decision for you. The only one who can truly decide is you,” Liana said.

“Setting aside positions and interests, if Princess Liana were in my position, what would you do?” Sephirena asked.

“First of all, it’s impossible to set those things aside. I can’t think entirely from your perspective. But if it were , I would still want to go back,” Liana said.

“Why?”

“Being alone would indeed be boring and lonely. Moreover, if misunderstandings aren’t cleared up, both parties will continue to suffer. Besides, you yourself want to go back, don’t you, Sephirena?”

“...” Sephirena didn’t speak, only nodded.

Whether it was the truth about Sister Tarashil, the familial love of Sister Avira, or the matter of her Mother, the Tree of Life, Sephirena needed to return at once.

“Then do what you want to do. Anyway, for , I’ve already gained what I needed,” Liana said very coldly.

“Princess Liana, aren’t you worried that I might reveal that you’re still alive?”

“If you want to tell, even if I give you more benefits, you’ll still tell. If you don’t want to tell, even if others threaten you, you won’t tell. From the mont I let you know about this, I’ve never worried about this point. Whether to tell or not depends entirely on ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) you,” Liana said.

“There’s an even simpler solution, isn’t there?”

“What solution?” Liana was puzzled.

“Co with to the Elf Forest,” Sephirena said.

“Huh?” Liana doubted if she’d heard correctly.

“Princess Liana, I’d like to invite you to co with to the our forest,” Sephirena repeated what she had just said. “I can use illusions and disguise Princess Liana as an elf, making it impossible for other elves to recognize you.”

“What’s the reason? Why should I go with you?” Liana was bewildered.

“Because, Princess Liana, you’ve been recognized by the Tree of Life. I think Mother might have sothing to tell you, or perhaps you know how to heal Mother,” Sephirena said.

“Have you gone mad, or have I...” Liana didn’t know what to say. It was baffling. “You’re saying that I, soone who has only recently recovered my magic power and hasn’t even reached the level of Archmage, can heal the Tree of Life? Are you joking?”

“Mother letting you enter my illusion already explains everything. Moreover, Princess Liana, you can also pick up the holy sword. This point alone is sufficient,” Sephirena said.

“No, what relationship do I have with that holy sword? In your illusion, when I held it in my hand, there was no reaction at all. It only worked in your hands. What does it have to do with ?” Liana asked in confusion.

“I know that suddenly inviting you must make you feel confused and puzzled, but I sincerely hope that you can co with to the Elf Forest,” Sephirena lowered her head and extended the invitation.

Liana had indeed planned to visit the Elf Forest in the future, after all, the key to resisting the demon race was there. But not now, since currently, Liana didn’t have anyone who could protect her. Minoga couldn’t leave philia’s side, or it would definitely raise suspicions.

Without guarantees for her safety, Liana didn’t want to take this risk, at least not now.

“Of course, Princess Liana, you can also refuse for now and let return first. When Princess Liana is ready, you can co to the Elf Forest. If you really feel unsafe, Princess Liana can also wait for Princess philia and go to the Elf Forest with her,” Sephirena said.

“I understand. I’ll think about it.” This proposal was quite good, and Princess Avira had also invited philia before.

But...

“If you return like this, won’t it be unsafe for you?” Liana asked with concern.

“I’ll be safe. I’ve reclaid my elven powers. As soone chosen by Mother, even they, can’t do anything to . Moreover... Sister Avira is waiting for ,” Sephirena said.
