The Villainous Noblewoman Is About to Be Forced into Love, Isn’t This Wrong? Chapter 207: Demon race

Liana returned to her bedroom and lay on the bed.

Living alone in such a large room made it easy to let one’s mind wander.

In these three months, the Lisat Kingdom had undergone significant changes. The authority of the royal heirs had greatly decreased, with the King of Lisat taking direct control.

The Angus Comrce Guild had suffered heavy damage, with its influence sharply declining. Previously, they could threaten and coerce others.

But now, the guild was under scrutiny. If they continued such behavior, it would undoubtedly be asking for trouble.

The Darriss Territory had also beco much more restrained, but Liana knew very well that this was only temporary peace. The Darriss Territory would absolutely not let matters rest; their current forbearance was only to enable more excessive behavior in the future.

And then there was...

What Liana cared about most, the Venus Territory.

Three months ago, Erinna’s style of handling affairs had changed completely, becoming extrely forceful, resolving many problems with swift and decisive asures.

But because she was too forceful, many people were dissatisfied. If these dissatisfactions weren’t properly addressed, they might leave behind hidden troubles.

More importantly, smiles seed to have completely disappeared from Erinna’s face.

She wore a cold expression at all tis, unable to show even a hint of kindness to anyone.

Erinna was doing well, but perhaps too well, too absolutely, without a trace of human warmth. This worried Liana greatly.

Although Liana also knew this was her fault, she hadn’t told Erinna about her plan.

When she learned that her kind sister, Liana, had returned, only to die before her eyes, it would be sothing difficult for anyone to accept.

How should Liana handle this?

What would happen if she suddenly appeared before her?

Or should she gradually give her clues, bit by bit?

Erinna was clever; perhaps she would notice?

However, the most pressing issue was still the demon race. Just from their brief encounter, Liana felt her palms sweating. The pressure exerted by the demons was too intense.

As night fell, Liana quickly communicated with philia.

“Liana~” philia’s sowhat soft voice ca through.

She only used this endearing tone when speaking with Liana.

“philia.” Liana’s tone and expression were very serious.

philia also realized that what Liana was about to say was extrely important.

“Co see tomorrow.” Liana said only five words.

“All right.” philia nodded, not asking anything more.

This communication was very brief. It had been about a month since they last t.

Even if Liana hadn’t called her, she would have gone to see Liana in the next few days. But Liana’s sudden urgency and the simple few words indicated that this visit would be out of the ordinary.

“Minoga,” philia called.

“I’m here.” Minoga pushed open the door and entered.

To prevent others from discovering her communications with Liana, Minoga would patrol outside while she talked with Liana, ensuring absolute security.

“Let’s go. We’re going to find Liana.” With Liana so urgent and serious about eting her, philia had no intention of waiting until tomorrow to find Liana.

“I understand.” Minoga didn’t ask further, just nodded and led philia under the cover of night toward Liana’s residence.

“This seems... to be the first ti I’ve lived alone in such a large place.” Liana looked around.

The room was very bright, but the pitch-black outside the window made Liana uneasy.

This had never happened before. Even if there was no one right by her side, there would always be soone not far from her.

But now, for hundreds or even thousands of ters around, Liana was the only person.

Previously, because Sephirena was still there, Liana hadn’t paid attention to this. But now, being all alone /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ in the room was truly frightening.

Although Liana was clearly aware that her room had many protective spells, psychologically she still had wild thoughts, especially after encountering the demons that morning.

Never mind, Liana closed her eyes and lay on the bed. She just needed to sleep, and tomorrow philia would co to find her. Things would be much better then.

But just as Liana closed her eyes, she sensed sothing crossing the barrier.

Liana quickly got up from the bed. The timing was very ambiguous—half an hour after ending the communication.

philia could have made it here, but she hadn’t told Liana. Was it because she wanted to give her a surprise? And Liana’s sudden communication and brief conversation would certainly make philia very anxious.

Liana now understood philia completely and could fully anticipate her thoughts and actions.

However, this was just Liana’s guess; she wasn’t certain if it was true.

Liana also needed to be fully prepared.

“Hmm.”

Liana took a deep breath. It was also a good opportunity to test how her training had progressed over this period. She prepared her amplification spells.

[Perception Enhancent]

[Physical Enhancent]

[Absolute Focus.]

Liana could now clearly sense the movent of leaves outside, and even see the trajectories of flying insects in the darkness.

But she couldn’t see the figure of whoever had entered the barrier.

The other person was obviously concealing their presence. Would philia do this?

Probably not? philia wouldn’t hide her presence before; she would rush straight to her. This didn’t seem like philia’s style.

In any case, staying alert couldn’t be wrong.

“「Floral Eyes」”

With nature magic, Liana could make the surrounding plants into her own eyes, transmitting what they saw into her mind.

But even so, Liana didn’t detect anyone entering.

Was it her imagination?

No, that was impossible. Soone had definitely entered.

“philia, co out. Stop hiding.” Liana spoke.

“?!”

“「Create Gun Lance」!”

Liana turned around, raising the gun lance and pointing it at the person opposite. “Don’t move!”

philia raised her hands. “Didn’t you tell to co out?”

“Don’t scare like that!” After seeing it was philia, Liana sighed in relief and sat down on the floor. “Really!”

This wasn’t philia deliberately trying to scare Liana. She was just doing what she always did, concealing her presence to co here.

“If I had co directly, others might have noticed,” philia said with a slight apology. “Normally, Miss Sephirena would find , but this ti she didn’t notice for so reason?”

This indeed couldn’t be blad on philia. It was just that previously, because of Sephirena’s presence, Liana didn’t need to worry about these things. If there was any anomaly, Sephirena would handle it.

“She returned to the Elf Forest,” Liana said.

“She went back?” philia looked at Liana. “Did you have a fight?”

Liana shook her head.

“That’s true. If you really had a fight, what terribly excessive thing must Miss Sephirena have done to make you so angry?” philia tried to lighten the atmosphere.

philia also knew about Sephirena’s situation; she still had so resistance to the Elf Forest. If she went back now, sothing major must have happened. Perhaps the Tree of Life was experiencing so problems?

“What if I was the one at fault?” Liana asked.

“Then I would take you to the Elf Forest to apologize to Miss Sephirena,” philia smiled.

Liana shrugged.

“But Liana, you’re amazing to be able to detect my approach with your own power,” philia praised.

During this ti, with Sephirena’s help and no need to deliberately conceal herself, being able to practice freely, Liana’s progress had been very evident.

But most crucially, Liana had started from a very low level, which made her progress seem faster.

“I’m not just all talk.” Liana’s face showed a mont of excitent, but she quickly realized that her small progress was very insignificant compared to the demonkind.

“What’s wrong, Liana? Your expression doesn’t look like the usual.” philia held Liana’s shoulders, making her look at her.

The previous Liana, no matter what happened, even if she faced danger, would never appear so dejected. The current Liana looked very uneasy and confused.

“It’s nothing.” After seeing philia, Liana felt much more at ease. “Thank you.”

Liana hugged philia, feeling her warmth.

“I’m sorry, it’s my fault for scaring you,” philia gently comforted Liana, thinking her sudden appearance had frightened her.

“It’s not that.” Liana shook her head in philia’s embrace, like a child seeking comfort.

“All right, all right.” philia spoke softly. “Then what is it? What’s so urgent that you suddenly called over?”

“The demons have begun to slowly awaken.”

This short sentence left philia stunned.

At the sa ti, it also brought Minoga, who was guarding outside, rushing in. “Princess Liana? What did you say?”

Her tone was also full of shock. News about the demon race had only been learned through elven alliance channels, with so information about their revival. But now, Princess Liana suddenly said the demon race has already begun returning?

Currently, they didn’t have particularly good ways to face them, and the alliance with the elves was still in an awkward position.

Not to ntion, the Lisat Kingdom itself was still in chaos. This news could be fatal for the Lisat Kingdom.

“What exactly is the situation?” If it were soone else, philia certainly wouldn’t easily believe them, but if it was Liana, philia would trust her unconditionally.

Liana recounted what had happened today to philia.

philia’s expression was very grave. The demon race had not only appeared but had also attacked Liana?

“Liana, are you all right?” philia quickly asked.

Liana shook her head. “I wasn’t hurt. Sephirena protected .”

“Is that why she went back? Because of the demon?” philia clearly understood the relationship between the elves and the demons.
