The Villainous Noblewoman Is About to Be Forced into Love, Isn’t This Wrong? Chapter 70: Crystal Ball Communication

"Then... may I make another request?" Loraviel asked.

"What request?"

"Since most of the ti, I'm either training or in Liana Your Highness's room, and only return to my own room when I’m washing up, could I keep those practice magic stones in Your Highness's room? Don’t worry! I’ll make sure not to disturb you while practicing!"

"Oh—" Liana responded with clear disdain, "What else can you do other than causing trouble for your master?"

"Sorry, Liana Your Highness."

"Did you get it wrong?"

"Alright, I agree. Now you should have no excuses, right? If you fail the knight assessnt, I’ll make you regret it!" Liana said.

It seed that Loraviel wasn’t wrong—if she failed the assessnt, would there be a punishnt?

But... why did it feel like there was a small part of her that was looking forward to it? Maybe she could intentionally fail?

"I understand," Loraviel nodded. "Then, should I go prepare the midnight snack for Your Highness?"

"Not for now, co with first." Liana walked toward the library.

"Liana Your Highness... you're here again?" The librarian looked at Liana, sowhat annoyed.

"What? Not welcoming ?"

"How could I? It's just that Liana Your Highness seems to like coming after the library is closed. Whether it’s this ti or the last ti, you only co after resting here."

"My own library can’t be closed to , can it?" Liana said, slightly displeased.

"Of course not." The librarian, having dealt with Liana before, had beco much more composed and knew that speaking to Liana was mostly a waste of ti.

This ti, she didn’t ask too many questions, just glanced at Loraviel and opened the door for them.

"If you need anything, Liana Your Highness can co find anyti," the librarian said.

Liana didn’t answer and went straight inside. Loraviel, on the other hand, bowed to the librarian, "Sorry for disturbing you so late."

Loraviel’s polite manners lifted the librarian's mood, and she looked at Loraviel with so sympathy. "You’re working hard."

"Mm."

Loraviel followed behind Liana.

This ti, Liana went to the upper area, where books on magic incantations were kept.

These incantations surely followed so patterns, like human language. Once you mastered them, creating all kinds of strange magic wouldn’t be difficult.

However, right now, Liana was more interested in finding books about gem magic.

But tahelio seed to have ntioned that gem magic was the first of its kind in this world...

But these things didn’t matter much anymore. It seed like she had obtained a term that had never appeared in this world before, [Gem].

And it was the only term she could use.

As long as she integrated this [Gem] into other magics, it should create new magic, and this magic would only have its true power when used by her.

This made Liana feel a hint of excitent.

Although, there was a reason why it had been forcefully banned.

"Liana Your Highness, what are you looking for?" Loraviel asked.

"Do you think I brought you here for no reason?" Liana kicked Loraviel lightly. "It’s because you’re too weak, and that idiot Lifiya in the family won’t teach you any magic, that’s why I brought you here."

Liana had said that if the magic books were to be returned, it would be too strange, so she brought Loraviel with her.

"More like, letting Loraviel learn so new magic, since it seems like we can’t rely on Lifiya to help Loraviel with magic anymore."

"Sorry, Liana Your Highness," Loraviel lowered her head.

"Go find your boring speed magic, I really don’t know what your inherent magic is useful for," Liana grumbled, tossing Loraviel’s magic book into a corner.

Unknowingly, later on, Liana would experience firsthand the terrifying nature of speed magic with her own body.

"I understand, Liana Your Highness," Loraviel nodded.

But this ti, the goal wasn’t just speed-type magic. It was toxic magic, and books that recorded about toxins.

She had heard Lady Lifiya talk about how she had almost been sentenced to death at that ti, and it was the priestess who urgently treated her.

But that wasn’t enough. Everyone thought she was beyond saving.

Even if she was healed, there would be severe aftereffects.

But she wasn’t like that. Not only was she fine, but she could even replicate a poison and be completely immune to it at the sa ti.

Her ability, or rather, her constitution, surely had sothing special about it.

And it seed like Liana was very aware of this. However, directly asking Liana about this seed like a dead end.

Now, even if she asked, she might not get a direct answer. Liana would probably give her so answer close to being dismissive, and even the aggressive attitude from before had disappeared.

Should she have not resisted that day? But after resisting, seeing the surprised look on Liana’s face, she finally understood what followed.

So, since Liana didn’t want to admit she knew such things, Loraviel decided to search for the answers herself.

After Loraviel went to find the librarian, Liana browsed the bookshelves alone.

Although gem magic was appearing for the first ti, creation-type magic wasn’t.

And creation-type magic was the easiest to understand and translate.

However, after about half an hour, Liana still couldn’t find any records about creation magic on the shelves.

It seed that Venus Territory didn’t have creation-type magic, and Minoya’s creation-type magic still needed so ti to complete replication.

Maybe she should visit her mother’s study. The things in her mother’s study were far better than the library's.

"Liana Your Highness," Loraviel ca back holding a few magic books.

"Did you find it?"

"Mm," Loraviel nodded, "Thank you so much, Liana Your Highness."

"Then let’s go back."

The two returned to Liana’s room.

"Liana Your Highness, these magic books..." Loraviel looked at the books in her arms.

"Last ti was an exception. This ti, you must place the books sowhere I can see them." Liana pointed to an empty space.

"Find a desk bigger than the one in my room. Don’t steal our Venus Estate’s books next ti."

After all, the most important books were the ones Liana herself needed to look at. How could she let Loraviel take them to her room like before?

"Thank you, Liana Your Highness."

Now, Loraviel could almost stick to Liana’s side every day, except when she was washing up.

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight, it has been stolen.

But, it seed that even during washing up, she might still be able to stick around.

"Liana Your Highness, are we going to wash up now?" Loraviel asked proactively.

"..." Liana thought about what happened yesterday. Her face flushed slightly.

She felt a little uneasy, "I’m a bit hungry, go prepare so food for first."

"I understand."

After Loraviel left, Liana quickly ran to the bathroom to bathe.

Wait... why was she afraid of this?

As Liana bathed, she felt sothing was off, and then she lowered her head to look at her small chest. Perhaps this was the inferiority brought by the numbers.

When Loraviel ca back with the dinner, Liana had already changed into a light blue nightgown and was sitting on a chair.

Looking at Liana, who had just finished her bath, Loraviel felt a little lost.

"Too slow!" Liana looked at Loraviel with displeasure.

"Sorry, Liana Your Highness."

"By the way, if you're not affected by poison, then how am I supposed to test it on you?" Liana asked.

"Liana Your Highness, do I look like I’m unaffected that day?" Loraviel responded.

"It doesn't seem like it, but you did tell that you can still use the poison from that day, which proves that you're immune to it now, right? What would happen if you used that poison against ?"

Loraviel’s hand emitted a magical fluctuation, [Toxin, check].

"There’s no toxic reaction, Liana Your Highness."

Liana relaxed and began eating.

So of Liana’s behaviors, if unknown, could indeed seem very difficult to understand or even malicious. But now that she knew the truth, Loraviel was sure that Liana’s strange actions were actually the answer.

Her body, or her magic, allowed her to be immune to toxins and even use them for her own benefit.

Loraviel picked up the hairdryer and started drying Liana's hair.

"Liana Your Highness, are you satisfied with the dinner?"

"It’s passable."

As expected of the heroine, not only did she have her Dark Elent fully developed, but her talent in feminine aspects was also top-notch.

Just by observing a few of Liana’s actions, Loraviel was able to co up with a series of dishes that suited Liana's taste, and they all tasted great.

"Well, Liana Your Highness, I’ll go take a bath and eat, but I’ll be back soon." After drying Liana’s hair, Loraviel began clearing the dinner plates.

"Mm, go ahead."

Loraviel couldn’t help but wish that Liana would let her bathe in her room, then she could just move in.

After Loraviel left, a crystal ball on Liana’s bedside suddenly began to glow.

According to what tahelio had said earlier, it seed like tahelio was trying to contact her.

But how was she supposed to use it?

Liana tentatively placed her hand on the crystal ball.

Soon, tahelio’s figure appeared in the crystal ball. "Can you see , Liana?"

"Mm."

Right now, tahelio seed a little nervous.

Liana probably understood why tahelio was like this. "Are there others around you right now?"

Whew. tahelio let out a sigh of relief. He certainly didn’t want to expose the secret Liana had been hiding for so long.

"Don’t worry, Liana. If soone’s around, you can still connect. This communication crystal ball only requires the person sending the ssage to use magic. The other person doesn’t need magic to communicate," tahelio explained.

"That’s why, when you just placed your hand on it, it connected."

"Mm, understood." Liana looked at the background behind tahelio. It looked familiar. "Are you in the capital now?"

"Yes."

It seed to be tahelio’s residence, a place Liana had visited with her mother when they went to the capital.

"Huh? Liana, you still rember?" tahelio beca interested, "I thought you had forgotten."

"Well, sort of."

Honestly, she had mostly forgotten, but since the room was so luxurious, Liana guessed it must be the sa place. After all, Ibekka Magic Academy had many similar exclusive rooms.

To avoid causing unnecessary trouble, the styles were all similar. And as an heir, tahelio couldn’t look too extravagant, or he would easily attract unwanted attention.

Ah, the troubles of being an heir. Fortunately, Liana wasn’t interested in these matters.

"Is there sothing you need, tahelio?" Liana asked.

His straightforward remarks clearly irritated tahelio.

"Can’t I contact you unless I have sothing to say? You know how hard it is for to get away from the Magic Academy and royal duties! I might only see you once a month! Do I have to have a reason to contact you?"

"No, wait, asking for an excuse doesn’t count as having a reason!"

Liana seed to realize that her words weren’t ideal.

"Of course, tahelio can always co find . After all, I’m a free person now, but since I can’t use magic, I’ll have to wait for you to contact . The reason I asked is because I don’t want to waste your ti. Once the important matters are dealt with, we can talk properly, right?"

"..."

Although tahelio felt like Liana was tricking him—okay, she was tricking him—what could he do? Could he be mad at Liana?

Moreover, hearing Liana call him "tahelio, sister" made his heart lt.

Liana knew how to handle tahelio—no, how to fool him.

"I forgive you."

"Thank you, tahelio, for your understanding."

"However, the reason I contacted you today is that I have sothing to discuss."

"What is it?"

Liana placed the crystal ball on the bed and laid down, her chest resting on the pillow, lazily lounging.

Because of her position, tahelio could clearly see her, and he moved a little closer.

"Regarding creation magic, I’ve already spoken to my father... the King, and he was quite shocked by it."

tahelio’s efficiency was quick, as expected. These matters had to be dealt with fast, or they’d be exposed or discovered by soone else, which would be uncomfortable.

"So, what happened?"

"The King praised ."

"Just that? No reward?" Liana asked.

"Just a verbal complint from the King of all people? That old King is so stingy!"

"As for a reward, there isn’t one, but in three days, there will be a ceremony in Lisat City, where the royal family will announce this matter to the public, and also ntion that I was the one who discovered it," tahelio said.

Liana nodded. If that’s the case, it made sense. A verbal complint would have been too dismissive.

Moreover, Liana didn’t believe that, as the King’s precious daughter, who had discovered sothing like this, tahelio wouldn’t get a reward.

She probably wouldn’t find out until the ceremony started.

"Congratulations."

"What’s there to congratulate? I only succeeded because of you, Liana." tahelio still felt a little uncomfortable. Liana had suffered for many years, finally breaking free. After acquiring magic, she even gave him the success.

"You’ve known this for a while. I’m not interested in these things. I really hate being watched by so many people. I feel uncomfortable. The only opinions I care about are from a few people I care about," Liana said honestly.

"No wonder. That’s why you don’t want to change other people's views."

Let others think what they want, who cares. Liana only cared about the people who mattered to her.

"You really are mature, Liana," tahelio sighed again.

"So, will you have to stay in Lisat City for the ti being?"

"Shouldn’t there be no problems with Ibekka Magic Academy?" Liana asked.

"No problem at all. In fact, because of this matter, Ibekka Magic Academy is preparing to suspend classes for a while," tahelio explained.

"Your creation magic has such an impact that those teachers will probably try to take leave and study magic after hearing about it."

"So to avoid this, since Lisat City is holding a ceremony, it’s convenient to take a short holiday."

"Looks like you’ll be pretty free for the ti being." Liana said.

"I guess. However, the King has temporarily restricted us from leaving the city for safety reasons. We can only stay in our rooms and look over so docunts."

"After all, tahelio, besides being a student, also has the identity of an heir."

"Must be tough."

"It’s nothing. I’m used to it. However, after the ceremony in three days, I’d like to invite you to co. What do you think?" tahelio asked.

"Probably not a good idea. The purpose of the ceremony is for you. If I get an invitation, things might get complicated again."

"That’s true." tahelio was very clear about this. She had originally planned to give up, but then she heard a voice—another woman’s voice.

Loraviel stood outside the door and knocked, "Liana Your Highness, I’m ready. May I co in?"

"Ready?" tahelio furrowed his brows.

"Uh, tahelio, I’ll talk to you later," Liana quickly sat up, clearly flustered.

"Why?"

"If soone finds out we’ve been talking, it’ll be troubleso," Liana explained.

"It’s not troubleso. After all, our relationship has softened, right? So, chatting with each other to strengthen our bond is perfectly normal. Am I wrong?"

tahelio squinted, grinning.
