The Villainous Noblewoman Is About to Be Forced into Love, Isn’t This Wrong? Chapter 62: Did nothing really happen between you two?
anwhile, on the other side, after everything that happened yesterday, Liana had already gotten out of bed.
Last night, Loraviel hadn't co to Liana's room. Now that she had gotten up, she didn’t see Loraviel anywhere.
However, Liana had more important things to attend to.
Liana arrived at Countess Ruth’s room early in the morning.
She didn’t knock but directly opened the door to Countess Ruth's room.
"Liana? What is it?" Countess Ruth asked.
"Countess Ruth, why?" Liana looked at her in confusion. "Why is everything fine? Why didn’t the poison work?"
Liana not only needed to clear her na but also place all the bla on Countess Ruth.
The situation's developnt made her feel sothing was off, and it made her more certain that there had been changes in Loraviel's condition.
Countess Ruth had previously been clear about why Loraviel was unaffected—the poison from the Venus family should have worked fine.
But now, Countess Ruth wasn’t in the mood to worry about Loraviel anymore.
"Liana, don’t worry too much for now. Forget about those things for the ti being. The news of the poisoning has already spread, and Princess peilou should be coming soon. After all, she’s so worried about you," Countess Ruth said.
It was better not to give any openings now, especially since peilou was about to co.
After all, she was just a woman, so it wouldn’t make much of a difference.
Countess Ruth had already gotten the results she wanted.
"Tch, who wants to see her?" Liana stared at Countess Ruth.
The Countess was now looking healthy, with no trace of disgust on her face.
Countess Ruth thought Liana disliked peilou but didn’t realize that this look was directed at her.
"Hey, Liana, for now, don’t act against Loraviel," Countess Ruth sighed.
Not only was Countess Ruth not planning to do anything to Loraviel, but she also advised Liana not to act against her for now.
"Why? Aren’t you helping ?" Liana asked in confusion.
"Just listen to , alright? I’m your family, I won’t harm you. Bear with it for a while. I will help you sort this out," Countess Ruth said.
If Liana killed soone right now, it would deliver a huge blow to peilou.
But it wasn’t the right ti yet. If nothing changed, there were still nearly five years until the final decision.
If they let peilou completely lose hope now, there wouldn’t be enough ti for her to recover.
And without her only weakness, peilou would undoubtedly beco even more terrifying.
Liana had originally supported Princess peilou, but since the princess seed wary of her, even suspicious, Liana didn’t bla herself for changing her position.
So now, Liana was incredibly important—sothing that couldn’t be lost.
At this mont, Liana needed to build a good relationship with peilou, making her think there was still hope for Liana and not giving up too easily. anwhile, Liana would provide so cover for her.
"Liana, just talk to Princess peilou a little. Don’t dislike her so much, okay?" Countess Ruth suggested.
Liana paused for a mont.
"Ah? Sothing like that?" she said, which made Countess Ruth think Liana was finding it hard to accept.
"Liana, I’m doing this for your own good. Lately, your relationship with Princess peilou has been too poor. No matter what, Princess peilou is doing this for you," Countess Ruth said, speaking earnestly.
Now was not the ti. Liana’s role was to deliver the final blow to Princess peilou at the most crucial mont.
"But..." Liana was still hesitant.
"Look, Princess peilou hasn’t helped you, but I have. This ti, even if you endure it, help Princess peilou, okay?"
"So, Princess peilou didn’t refuse you," Countess Ruth said.
Her words were clearly aid at making Liana feel that, as much as Princess peilou didn’t want to help her, the only one who was willing was Countess Ruth.
"Alright... Since it’s Countess Ruth’s order... I’ll forgive her," Liana reluctantly agreed.
After a few pleasantries, Liana left Countess Ruth’s room.
Holding back her excitent, Liana returned to her own room, where a prepared breakfast was waiting on the table.
However, there was no sign of Loraviel. After what happened yesterday, it was only natural that she wasn’t there.
Knock knock knock!
Liana thought it was Loraviel, but when the other person spoke, she realized it wasn’t.
"Princess Liana, may I co in?" Minoja’s voice ca through.
"Co in."
"I didn’t expect you to choose to knock this ti," Liana remarked.
It seed Liana was still thinking about the previous matter.
After all, when Liana thought carefully, she couldn’t understand how her little yellow book ended up in peilou’s hands. She hadn’t touched it since peilou ca to her room.
That had to be Minoja’s doing!
"Sorry, Princess Liana. I won’t do it again."
"As a judge, she has this right, and she didn’t do anything wrong. She found the forbidden item, but still apologized," Minoja said.
"I was just joking... Don’t take it so seriously."
This made Liana feel a bit guilty.
Liana also knew that Minoja had no ill intentions toward them. After all, if Minoja had really wanted to kill her, she wouldn’t have given her the ti to explain.
"Is Princess peilou looking for ?" Since peilou was already there, it ant she was also present.
"Yes, Princess peilou heard that soone poisoned Princess Liana and hurriedly ca here," Minoja said.
"Okay, got it." Liana took a sip of tea and picked up a biscuit. "Want to try it? It’s pretty good, though a bit cold."
"Cold? By the way, I didn’t see your maid today. How could she make such a mistake?" Minoja asked.
"Uh..." Liana was a bit embarrassed. "She wasn’t feeling well, so she’s resting."
"I see." Minoja sensed sothing was off but didn’t pry since it was a personal matter.
"Well then, let’s go."
Liana followed behind Minoja.
News of the Venus family’s stolen money quickly spread.
But when it was heard that only Liana’s maid had been poisoned, the discussions shifted.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
As soon as Liana entered Princess peilou’s room and closed the door behind her, she was enveloped in a divine light.
"I’m fine, it wasn’t who was poisoned," Liana said.
Princess peilou let out a sigh of relief. "Who poisoned you?"
"Uh... it was ," Liana said awkwardly.
"Why?"
After everything that had happened, peilou wasn’t going to panic over such a small thing. She knew Liana must have had her reasons for doing this.
"Well, I accidentally discovered Loraviel’s ability," Liana explained. "But it’s a bit complicated. Basically, Loraviel is immune to toxins, and she can use any poison she has endured without harm."
"What?"
"?"
It wasn’t peilou who spoke, but Minoja. "Princess Liana, is what you just said true?"
"Yes." Liana nodded.
peilou, of course, knew how terrifying this ability was but didn’t show the sa level of shock as Minoja.
"This matter..."
"Can it be kept secret?" Liana asked. She didn’t want too many people knowing about it.
"...Understood. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear anything."
"Thank you." Liana understood Minoja’s predicant.
After all, she was a Royal Knight, and when faced with soone with such an extraordinary gift, she would naturally want to protect and nurture them, as they could beco a powerful force for the Kingdom of Lisat.
"I haven’t done anything. Honestly, staying here is the best choice. After all, the Nas Territory has the doctor of the Kingdom of Lisat, and Loraviel’s ability is a perfect fit here."
"True." Liana nodded.
"However, as the young lady of the Venus family, Liana has encountered quite a few assassins."
The Venus family hadn’t announced this, and very few knew about it.
After all, hiding one's identity was a standard, essential practice for an assassin.
Liana only truly knew three assassins.
Countess Ruth’s bodyguard, the assassin who poisoned her earlier, and her own father.
"But, there’s currently no suitable teacher."
It wasn’t that Liana wanted to turn Loraviel into an assassin, but she was worried that Loraviel’s battle thods might turn her into a fighter using deadly poison instead of proper combat techniques.
Speed and poison—assassins could maximize both traits, and if Loraviel didn’t beco one, it would be a huge loss.
"I’ll figure sothing out." Minoja had already spoken, so it wasn’t going to be too difficult. "But in the Venus territory, soone will co to teach her."
"Alright."
"If that’s the case, Minoja, if you’re willing to help, then I don’t need to worry about Loraviel going astray. With her position as a judge, at worst, she can find a high-level executioner-level assassin."
"You really care about Loraviel, don’t you?" peilou stared at Liana.
"No, I don’t." Liana thought it was just normal behavior.
"Really?" peilou took a step closer.
"Really..." Seeing peilou’s face co closer, Liana felt a bit guilty.
No, why was she feeling guilty? Nothing happened between her and Loraviel...
Liana recalled last night’s events—the feel of Loraviel’s lips, the taste of her white knees, and the sensation at her knee...
It seed like not nothing happened. Liana nervously turned her gaze away.
"Liana?" peilou’s voice was filled with doubt. "Liana, you..."
Minoja felt like she should leave. Sothing was about to happen, so she hurriedly exited the room.
"Can we talk for a mont, Liana?" peilou smiled at Liana, a smile even brighter than before, but Liana felt a shiver down her spine.
