The Villainous Noblewoman Is About to Be Forced into Love, Isn’t This Wrong?

"Looks like... it's gotten brighter?" Liana looked at the magic staff in her hand.

"It really has." Mepeilu also noticed; the originally somewhat dull gem staff had, for some unknown reason, become a bit brighter.
"Could it be because you just used magic?" Liana speculated.
"Your Highness, may I give it a try?"

Liana handed the staff to Minoja. Minoja took the staff, poured mana into it, and indeed, the staff grew even brighter.
"This gem... can absorb mana..."
Minoja raised the staff she had just created with the flow magic, trying to pour mana into it, but she couldn't do it.

"Or perhaps, only Your Highness can do it?" Liana’s magic didn’t seem to be that simple.
But that wasn’t the end. The staff, which had just absorbed mana, suddenly began to emit dazzling light.
Minoja sensed something was wrong. [Water Barrier]!

The water from the nearby lake, guided by Minoja, formed a water sphere that enveloped the staff.
The staff then erupted in a violent explosion.
"It seems that Your Highness possesses quite an extraordinary magic." Liana’s gem not only absorbed mana but could also release magic, much like a timed bomb.

"There are only ten items in the world that can absorb mana, and they are known as the Ten Legendary Artifacts."
Liana, of course, knew how terrifying the ability to absorb mana was.
Could it be that her stats went off due to the need to be pressed in the ban position? If so, could they also boost Liana’s stats in some way?

"Princess, Your Highness, are you all right?" Upon hearing the explosion, the two guards outside hurried in.
"Go back, it’s fine, I’m here." Minoja spoke.
"Yes." Although they weren’t sure what was going on, Minoja's words reassured them somewhat.

"Liana! It seems your inherent magic is no simple thing!" Mepeilu grabbed Liana’s hand, quite excited.
"Ah..."
"Why do you seem a bit distracted? Is something wrong?" Mepeilu seemed worried that Liana might have some aftereffects.
Liana shook her head. "I want to confirm something."

Liana was more concerned with the incantations in her mind and the incantation she had just seen.
Liana wrote the magic she had just generated, turning iron into magic, on the ground and noticed something.
The three incantations that appeared in Liana’s mind had one thing in common: the first two guiding words were identical.

And the first guiding word in the incantation for creating iron was the same as the first word in the third incantation.
"So, the first guiding word is 'generate'? And the second... is 'gem'?"
"In that case..."

Liana flipped through a book and found a magic that suited her needs.
She kept the incantation she had created, changing the word in the middle, 'gem,' to another word, 'stone,' and left the final 'staff' unchanged.
"Mepeilu, try it?"

"What’s this…" Mepeilu had never seen an incantation like this.
Because the incantation had been altered, Mepeilu stumbled a bit when reciting it. [Generate, Stone, Staff.]

"So heavy!" A staff made of stone appeared in Mepeilu’s hand.

But compared to the weight of the staff, Mepeilu's internal shock and excitement were overwhelming.
"Liana! Did you just create magic?!" This was unprecedented.
Aside from the magic bestowed by the gods, humans couldn’t create magic.

"So, creating magic, this is what it means?!"
Minoja, who thought she had seen many great things, had never seen such a scene.
In the history of the Kingdom of Lisat, there had been attempts to create magic, but they had failed.

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than .net, it has been stolen.
"Have you never tried altering an incantation?" Liana asked.
"This magic was given to us by the gods."

"Do you think imagining eternal perseverance can create magic?" Minoja couldn’t help but sigh. "This is why we had to kill Countess Ruth."
"Just because of this, Countess Ruth should die a thousand times."
"Being able to create magic... this is a monumental change for this world."

"As for creating magic, leave it to Mepeilu." Liana said, "You have time, you can create whatever you want."
This wasn’t something that suited her to be famous for. Besides, the magic she learned from the books before had already had an impact on her.
So Liana decided to leave all the credit for this to Mepeilu. The act of creating magic was already a means to suppress other potential heirs.

"This is unacceptable!" Mepeilu didn’t want it, "If Liana said it, everything you’ve done would be accepted, and it wouldn’t affect me at all. Moreover, since I’m often by your side, I too can gain some benefits, can’t I?"
"Besides, now that you’ve made this discovery, Countess Ruth is just a thing of the past."
"Furthermore, with this alone, you can directly join the royal family, there’s no need to fear Countess Ruth!"

"I’ve already refused once, haven’t I?" After her parents disappeared, the king had invited her to become a member of the royal family.
But at that time, Liana had refused.
It was because of this that the king had grown even fonder of Liana.

That’s why everyone calls Liana ‘Your Highness,’ not Liana.
Liana understood this, but her nature was such that she didn’t really like being a big star, she just wanted to live freely.
Everything she had done before was just a struggle to survive.

In fact, the role of the villainess was quite useful, and Liana didn’t plan to discard it.
Liana pressed Mepeilu’s shoulder. "You’re right, but it’s also just to smooth out some of your previous bad reputation, right? That doesn’t mean we’re rushing into things."
"Yes, if I bring this up, I might be able to get away from Countess Ruth, but I can’t really help you much."

"The competition for survival is harsh, you’ve experienced it firsthand. From another perspective, if I became the lord of the Venus territory, I wouldn’t be able to help you much, at most, I could just support you."
"But if you became king, you could directly help me, wouldn’t you?"
"Liana, that makes some sense, but also doesn’t seem to make sense."

"Anyway! I believe you’ll make a good king, that’s why I made this decision."
"Alright." Now that Liana had said this, Mepeilu no longer refused.
"You should understand the principle of creating magic now, right?"

"Kind of."

Although it was a very simple thing, for the people of this world, it was a very rational thing.
That day, the people of this world learned that incantations could be altered, they were not fixed.

The people of this world had a very fixed understanding of magic, just like "1+1=2," they would never think of changing it.
The magic granted by the gods could not be altered, it was sacrilegious to change it.
That was their view.

But what did that have to do with Liana being a transmigrator?
This was also one of the reasons why Liana naturally changed these incantations.
If she had always lived in this world, she wouldn’t have made such changes.

And most importantly, they couldn’t understand these incantations.
If they could truly understand, creating magic would be an easy task.
"Ah, it’s a shame. If it were Chinese, Liana could casually create a Chinese god. By then, forget Countess Ruth, she could twist a few things to the demon king, and there would be no issue with the protagonist."

"By the way! The protagonist!"
"Mepeilu!!" Liana suddenly shouted.
"What’s wrong?" Mepeilu, still shaken, was startled by Liana.

"Did I investigate someone before?" Liana asked.
"Well, investigating someone isn’t difficult."
"Who?"

"Kort Davennas, from the Angu territory, Oru town."
The main storyline wouldn’t start for another year and ten months.
Mepeilu frowned, "Angu territory?"

Why would Liana be investigating someone from another territory?
Mepeilu clearly remembered that Liana had never left the Venus territory, so she shouldn’t know anyone from other territories, let alone people from a small town.
"Yes," Liana nodded.

"A man?"
"Yes."
"How do you know him?" For some reason, when Mepeilu heard that it was a man, she felt more reassured.

"...It’s a secret."
"You know I won’t force you to tell me, right?" Mepeilu said in a somewhat annoyed tone.
"Smiling."

As expected, Mepeilu wouldn’t say anything to Liana, and she wouldn’t force her to do anything.
"You say it that way, so you must have your reasons." After all, since a certain day, Mepeilu had realized that her childhood friend was really no ordinary person.
Adding to what happened a few days ago, creating magic, an event that could make history, she managed to pull it off.

Anything Liana did wouldn’t surprise her anymore.
"I’ll have someone investigate. Once I get news, I’ll tell you."
"Thank you! Mepeilu, you’re the best!" Liana happily hugged Mepeilu.

Today was a day with special meaning.
For any ordinary person, it was.
For Liana, it was the day she first used magic.

For Mepeilu, it was the day Liana regained her magic. No, it was the day Liana created magic.
It was also the day Lotavier changed the file manual to "Liana’s Observation Diary."
