The Villainous Noblewoman Is About to Be Forced into Love, Isn’t This Wrong? Chapter 232: Deciding the Alliance

At first, it was simple self-introductions to get to know one another.

Among the people present, the only one Liana didn’t know much about was Princess Niris.

So, when it was Princess Niris’ turn, Liana watched her a little more closely.

“I am Niris Tiael, the second princess of the Elf Forest. I possess neither the excellent leadership of Sister Avira, nor the powerful talent of Sister Sephirena. I am just an ordinary mber of the elf royal family. I am usually just responsible for helping Sister Avira manage the Elf Forest. All in all, I am just a very ordinary elf,” Niris introduced herself.

Now I get it. In this kind of environnt, the more “ordinary” a person claims to be, the more likely they are to do sothing extre.

“Niris is a very excellent princess. During this ti, she has been conscientious and responsible, giving a lot of help. Many tis, it is she who makes decisions for . So Niris is not as ordinary as she says. She is very outstanding and loved by everyone in the Elf Forest.”

“Sister Avira, you’re getting off-topic,” Niris brought the conversation back, seeming not to want to hear others discuss her. “Let’s continue talking about what we need to do next. The elf race is to ally with the human city-states, correct?”

Avira nodded and continued, “For so special reasons, we have co to realize that there are many things our elf race cannot do, many things that require the help of humans, or are even things that only humans can do. We recognized our mistake, but due to our pride, we never lowered our heads to admit it.

“But Lady Ambis’ appearance completely shattered this situation. Lady Ambis even gave us stairs to step down,1台阶下 (táijiē xià), a common idiom for giving soone a graceful way out of an awkward situation, allowing them to save face. taking the initiative to speak of this matter, which made us feel very ashad.

“We have also thought a lot and considered a lot, and have decided on the matter of an alliance. But we are not very familiar with the human world, nor are we clear on what kind of country can be trusted, so we observed for a long ti before finally deciding to choose the Lisat Kingdom.

“Of course, the biggest reason for choosing the Lisat Kingdom is Lady Ambis. It was she who eased Mother Tree of Life’s suffering and also received Mother’s blessing.

“The last ti we went to the Lisat Kingdom, we also t Lady Ambis’ daughter, a very cute, very gentle, kind, and well-mannered little girl. She was practically carved from the sa mold as Lady Ambis.

“But I have also heard about what happened to Her Highness Liana, and I feel great sorrow and regret for it. And Princess philia’s choice also put us in a difficult position. The originally very smooth alliance suddenly beca sowhat remote.

“After all, we cannot ally with an unstable country. That would be a very irresponsible thing to do for our fellow elves.

“But at this ti, Sephirena’s sudden return, bringing with her news of the demons, left us with no ti to consider, because we now have a common enemy.

“So, our gathering here this ti is also to make our attitude clear to all of you. We will stand on a united front with humanity to fight against demonkind. In return, we will also provide various kinds of assistance. Intelligence about the demons, so special magic, can all be shared,” Avira said.

philia did not express an opinion. After all, she no longer had any say in politics. At this mont, Oester should be the one to speak.

After exchanging a look with philia, Oester nodded. It was his turn to speak.

“Regarding the matters of the Elf Forest, I have already learned a lot from Miss Niris. I am also very grateful to Miss Niris for being able to show around the Elf Forest, which has let know that elves and humans are not so different. And now, we also have a common enemy.

“Cooperation is the best choice for us. One more person, one more ounce of strength. We do not wish for the demons to invade our holand.

“Similarly, we in the Lisat Kingdom will also share our wisdom with everyone from the elf race. The matters of spell creation and alteration will also be shared. We announced this matter with the thought of progressing together,” Oester said.

At this point, philia could no longer sit still. How can you speak as if you were the one who discovered creation magic and alteration magic?

Princess Avira followed up.

“Creation and alteration... I have already discussed this matter with Her Highness Liana. She is truly an absolute genius to be able to discover this, to be able to achieve this, to be able to change the spells bestowed by the gods. Truly outstanding. And Her Highness Liana generously shared this discovery. Even though she herself could not enjoy this change, she still had Princess philia announce it without hesitation. She was truly a great person.”

Avira knew very well who the real discoverer was, and naturally, she had to let everyone else know as well.

One reason was to repay the kindness of the mother and daughter for their various helps to the Elf Forest.

The second was because she had also heard about the things the Second Prince Oester had done and was sowhat dissatisfied with him. But since he was a guest, it was not good to say them. However, she would absolutely not let him take credit for what Liana had done.

Additionally, Liana and the second prince had a feud. This was also a way to show her attitude to philia and Liana and to win so of their favor.

“It’s just... such a pity,” Avira sighed.

The corner of the second prince’s mouth twitched. The most common rumor circulating outside now was that he was the one who had hard Liana. For her to bring this up now seed to be targeting him.

But there was no evidence to prove that he was the one who did it. At most, people would only speak ill of him behind his back. No one would oppose him for the sake of a dead person, for soone who had given up competing for the throne.

“It is indeed a great pity. If the accident had not happened, Liana would have had great talent and potential. After all, she is the daughter of Duke Venus and Countess Ambis.” Oester did not shy away from the topic, but rather brought it up himself.

“Let’s skip this topic,” philia said at this mont.

“My apologies...” Oester lowered his head and apologized.

“What’s wrong?” Niris asked with so curiosity. She didn’t know much about the affairs on the human side; all negotiations were handled by Avira.

Furthermore, the matter of Liana’s death wasn’t sothing worth bringing up, so Niris naturally did not know about it.

“It’s nothing.” Avira shook her head. “Let’s continue with the topic of the alliance. However, Second Prince Oester, are you able to represent # Nоvеlight # the decision of the Lisat King?”

“I naturally cannot represent the King of Lisat.” Oester smiled. “I am only one of the heirs. Moreover, the king has now returned and will guide us once more.

“At most, I am rely conveying the King of Lisat’s attitude to all of you. He is very happy to be able to form an alliance with the elves and has also given us an order that we must get along well with the elves. The elves are our friends,” Oester said.

“Niris, what are your thoughts?” Avira looked at Niris. She was considered the elf who disliked humans the most, and her status was not low, so her opinion was relatively important.

Niris smiled faintly. “I admit that in the past, I greatly disliked the various behaviors of humans and had strong opinions about you. But from what I’ve seen during this period, I was wrong in many ways. It’s not just the help humans have given us elves, but also from the humble performance of Princess philia and the Second Prince Oester, it seems there are also many outstanding and trustworthy humans in the human world.”

“I have changed my view. Cooperating with humans is indeed a good choice. I am willing to trust humans,” Niris said.

“It seems no one has any other opinions, right?” Avira continued.

If no one had any objections and the alliance could be ford smoothly, it was indeed a good thing.

But that was on the premise that these people genuinely wanted a good alliance.

Avira was probably fine, but those other two definitely had problems.

There was no way they would form a stable alliance. But right now, Liana had no way of exposing them. After all, they hadn’t done anything yet.
