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

On the third day, Liana felt her cheeks pressed against something very soft and instinctively nuzzled it.
Loraviel had already awoken, but she didn't rush to leave; she had a solid reason to stay. After all, Liana was hugging her tightly, like one would hold a doll.
The difference was, previously, Loraviel would have slipped away before Liana woke up, so Liana didn't know about these moments.

But now, Loraviel had no need to slip away; she even hoped that Liana would hold her even tighter.
Loraviel watched as Liana slowly opened her eyes, blinking confusedly.
Liana gradually woke up to see the pure white pajamas.

Even if the pajamas were loose, Loraviel's certain attributes were still much larger than Liana's supermodel-like figure, pressing against the fabric, allowing Liana to faintly make out the pink beneath.
This realization snapped Liana out of her drowsiness.
"Loraviel? What's this? Didn't you say you had recovered? Why are you still in bed? Is breakfast going to appear on my table by itself?"

"But, Princess Liana, you’ve been holding onto me, I literally couldn't move..."
Loraviel’s words made Liana aware of their current situation.
Her hands were wrapped around Loraviel’s waist, her face was buried in Loraviel’s chest, feeling her fullness, and her leg was entwined with Loraviel’s.

Indeed, Loraviel would find it difficult to extricate herself.
"This is an honor for you," Liana released her hands.
"Yes, Princess Liana," Loraviel reluctantly got up from the bed.

Loraviel went into the bathroom, changed back into her maid outfit now that it had dried, "Princess Liana, I'll prepare your breakfast now... and this pajama, are you sure you don't want it anymore?"
Loraviel held the pajama she had just changed out of, "I'll clean it thoroughly, Princess Liana."
"You really underestimate me, it's just a pajama, I'm not lacking in them, just find somewhere to throw it away," Liana waved dismissively.

"Throw it away? How could I?" Loraviel planned to treasure it.
After delivering breakfast, Loraviel left the room to meet Olivia for today’s training.
Liana stayed in her room and locked the doors and windows.
【Gem, generate.】

A gem the same azure color as Liana's eyes appeared in her hands.
Liana caressed the gem, the cold touch feeling very pleasant.
This gem seemed capable of absorbing magic and storing it, then exploding to release the absorbed magic with a certain destructive power.

Was there a convenient and quick way to throw this object?
In this world, it seemed only pneuma and slingshots were available.
There were no firearms in this magic-dominated world. If she could produce a gun, Liana couldn’t even imagine how thrilling that would be.

However, if she could control the gem’s explosion, there might still be a method worth trying.
But currently, she was only a beginner. Although she could use magic instinctively, her control over magic was poor, far from being able to handle it as skillfully as Mepeilu or even Loraviel.
Should Mepeilu find her a tutor?

But how different would that be from just going to the Ibet Magic Academy?
Her intention was not to let Countess Ruth find out about her so soon.
After all, with the need to use Countess Ruth, Liana no longer had to worry about Ruth’s danger, especially since Mepeilu was about to reveal the creation magic to the public.

Soon, those who supported Mepeilu would grow, and Ruth would have to choose a side. At that time, no matter which side Ruth chose, Liana would be an essential character.
If she wanted to return to Mepeilu's side, she would have to rely on Liana to establish a good relationship with Princess Mepeilu.
If she wanted to continue following other heirs, she would also need to rely on Liana to deal a fatal blow to Princess Mepeilu.

No matter which side was chosen, Liana’s position would be advantageous unless… there were other experts who could compete with Mepeilu.
But obviously, after the disclosure of creation magic, that seemed unlikely.
Although she couldn't go out to find a magic teacher, wasn’t there one already in the Venus Manor?

Olivia, a virtuous and real high-ranking executor, she could just sit in on her lessons.
Deciding to act, Liana headed to the back garden to observe the training session. …
After delivering breakfast, Loraviel arrived on time at the training grounds in the back garden where Olivia was already waiting.

"Are you sure your body has no problems?" Olivia looked at Loraviel with some concern.
After all, she had seen Loraviel spit blood and in pain.
It was a miracle that Loraviel could persevere. Although she said she needed a day's rest yesterday, Olivia didn’t believe that just one day of rest would suffice.

"Don't push yourself, I'm not leaving Venus Manor anytime soon."
Loraviel shook her head, her dagger spinning agilely in her hand, "I'm fine now, Lady Olivia, please continue."
"No, please be stricter, I want to become stronger."

"You don't need to push yourself, Loraviel."
"I'm not pushing myself."
"Alright." Olivia nodded and started today's training.

However, after several exchanges, Loraviel could clearly feel that Olivia wasn’t very serious, even less intense than before.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than .net, it has been stolen.
"Lady Olivia, you really don’t need to worry about my feelings, I'm not that fragile."

After over a month of sparring, Loraviel could feel that Olivia had adapted her training method and intensity according to Loraviel's level.
Her intuition told her it was an even match. Although this could steadily improve her skills and avoid too much frustration, it was still too slow.
Loraviel's gaze was determined; she knew clearly what she needed to do to become stronger—she needed to exert countless times her capacity.

She had to pass the knight and mage exams to reach the executor stage, so she could then pursue the assassin profession.
She was very clear that her abilities were inherently meant for this purpose.
Highly toxic, as well as speed, even expertise; this profession is tailor-made for oneself. So, to help Lady Liana, power is indispensable.

“I just want to become stronger, to protect... to protect myself better. So, please, there's no need to worry about me anymore.”
Looking at Loraviel, Olivia didn't say anything further. “Then I’ll take things a little more seriously. It will be tough.”
“That’s exactly what I want.”

I have to say, just Olivia slightly stepping it up caused Loraviel to feel the pressure greatly. She was already doing her best to close the gap between them with speed magic.
But Olivia, relying only on her physical speed, could catch up to Loraviel’s speed magic.
It was truly terrifying.

Soon, Loraviel’s body started to show some bruising, even though Liana used a wooden sword, some areas of Loraviel’s body were already scratched open by the sword's aura.
But this was what Loraviel needed, it wasn’t about having a 50/50 fight, but always needing to be just a little stronger than herself, giving her that one chance to challenge her opponent.
“Lady Olivia, let’s take a short break.” Loraviel’s back was already drenched in sweat.

Her arm was numb from Olivia's wooden sword swings.
“Mm.”
To be honest, Olivia was a little scared by Loraviel. Not only did she seem fiercer than before, like Mesia, but her gaze was also strangely intimidating.

However, Olivia knew very well that her combat style and instructions, especially for Loraviel, were practically tailored for someone born to be an assassin.
“Loraviel, my training method might be a bit unsuitable for you.”
Others might not understand the true strength of the Venus Territory, but Olivia knew very well that her role in the domain was to try to make the Venus family aware of Loraviel's potential.

It was a waste for Loraviel to stay by Liana’s side.
Though what Liana said that day might have slightly changed Olivia's opinion, it wouldn't make a big difference in the end.
“No, I think it’s just right.” Loraviel shook her head. “Lady Olivia’s training mainly strengthens the body’s abilities, doesn’t it? Only with a stronger body and physical strength can one withstand more rigorous training and use stronger magic.”

But Loraviel’s words reminded Olivia of what Liana had told her when she first arrived at the Venus estate. Perhaps training Loraviel could make her more resilient and capable of enduring longer training sessions.
“Loraviel...”
“It’s almost time for a break anyway.” Loraviel stood up and stretched.

Liana had just arrived and happened to see the two of them resting. “It looks like you two are quite leisurely.”
Then Liana noticed the wounds on Loraviel’s body. “Olivia, are you abusing my maid?”
“It’s not like that, Your Highness Liana. It was my request for Lady Olivia to train me this way.”

“You…” Loraviel couldn’t possibly have some strange condition, right? Respectful, but not understanding.
“If it’s to make Lady Olivia train me harder, then I spoke incorrectly.”
“It’s commendable to work harder, but if it interferes with the maid’s duties, then it’s a bit too much.”

“Sorry, Your Highness Liana. I’ll prepare lunch for you right away.”
“Forget it. It’s already time for a meal.” Loraviel thought that Liana must be hungry, which made her feel a bit guilty for not noticing.
Liana shook her head. “No need, I’m not too hungry yet.”

Liana sat in the pavilion. “Just prepare some snacks and tea.”
“I’ll prepare it for you right away.” Loraviel turned to Olivia. “Lady Olivia, do you need anything?”

After Loraviel left, Olivia approached Liana.
“Your Highness Liana, what did you do to Loraviel?”
“Hm? Why would you say that?” Liana rested her face on her hand, looking at Olivia.

“I’m not quite sure how to say it.” Olivia blinked. “But I feel like Loraviel has been working too hard today?”
“That’s a compliment. As a servant, working hard is perfectly normal.”
“But I feel that Loraviel’s change has something to do with you, Liana.”

“Lady Olivia, you seem to have some bias against me, don’t you?”
Loraviel clearly wasn’t really fine, and I’ve said it countless times—‘the poison thing has nothing to do with me,’ I don’t know what’s going on, and there’s no reason for me to stain my hands with blood. I don’t harm a toy who obeys my commands.”
“If you keep going on like this, Lady Olivia, I really will get angry.”

Liana stood up and walked in front of Olivia. “Then, why are you here?”
“Princess Mepeilu came to the Venus Manor yesterday. Do you know why? It was for me.”
“Why don’t we sit down and have a good talk?”

“Mepeilu made some valid points. I also need to make some changes.”
“So, why make things difficult for the princess you serve? You either hit me once or become my enemy.”
“If I really do something excessive, then let Lady Olivia stop me. How about that?”

“I still hope we can get along well. After all, you’re here to protect me, right?” Liana extended her hand.
Olivia hesitated for a moment but still took Liana’s hand.
“It hurts…”

“…Your Highness Liana, I don’t think I used much force.”
“Even so, it hurts.”
“Your Highness Liana, do you remember what I said when I first came to Venus Manor?”

“What did you say?”
“I feel that you need to exercise.”
“The esteemed young lady has hardly exercised at all.”

“Liana’s body is like a delicate piece of art; just a touch and it could break.”
“Maybe, the thing Liana should have said at the beginning was to say it to herself.”
“Otherwise, just a little excess, and her body will not be able to withstand it.”

“Lady Olivia wants to train me? Isn’t one student already enough for you?”
“Forget it. I’m not qualified for that, nor do I have the ability.”
Olivia shook her head. She didn’t want to get involved in this mess.

“This should be the most meaningless thing for you.”
“A young lady like Liana can’t endure hardship. Just a few swings of a wooden sword, and she’d probably already collapse.”
“You lack confidence, or do you think I can’t last?” Liana asked.

“…Both.”
Olivia made a face, shrugging.
“After all, I’ve been outwitted by Liana so many times, I’m used to it.”

“Sorry! I won’t talk back again!”
“But the other side is Liana! Using the same move on her, it might still work! Who forced me to do this!”
“Don’t you want to give Princess Mepeilu a little surprise?”

“……”
Sure enough, when Mepeilu was mentioned, Olivia’s expression subtly changed.
“Moreover, this matter won’t bring you any harm, right?”

“This time, there’s no wager or condition. It’s just one-sided training for me.”
“You can even take this opportunity to slightly get back at me.”
“If I can’t go on, then I lose.”

“Of course, no punishment.” Liana said.
“Fine.” “This time, the conditions are truly rare and favorable for Olivia.”
“However, Your Highness Liana, the upcoming training will be very normal. I won’t intentionally take it easy on you.”

Liana was sweating profusely.
“This person is definitely trying to ‘slightly’ get back at me.”
