Chapter 45: This is the old drama bone
It was Mepeilu, but this time, Countess Ruth was standing beside her.
“Liana... Can we talk for a bit?”
Liana immediately understood what this was about. Although she couldn’t bring herself to be angry when looking at Mepeilu’s face, wasn’t there still Countess Ruth standing right there?
The moment Liana laid eyes on Ruth, she slipped into the right mindset instantly.
“We have nothing left to talk about, Mepeilu.” Liana’s face remained cold as she moved to shut the door.
“Liana! How dare you speak to Princess Mepeilu like that?” Countess Ruth scolded.
“That’s right, I really shouldn’t be speaking to her at all.” Ignoring Ruth’s reprimand, Liana slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
Countess Ruth’s expression grew slightly awkward. “My apologies, Your Highness. Liana’s mood has been a little unstable lately—she wasn’t like this before.”
She was still trying to smooth things over for Liana. “I’ll make sure she properly apologizes to Your Highness.”
Mepeilu shook her head. “There’s no need. Don’t force Liana. This is partly my fault as well. It seems that, for the time being, Liana doesn’t want to see me.”

“No problem at all, Your Highness. You’re welcome to stay at Venus Manor for as long as you’d like—please consider it your home. In the meantime, I’ll be sure to have a good talk with Liana.” Now that Minoja wasn’t by Mepeilu’s side, Countess Ruth’s tone had become more intimate.
