Chapter 106: Just a Massage
“This stance will be less tiring, and it won’t hurt Princess Liana,” Loraviel said, one hand supporting Liana’s waist, the other placed at her elbow, lifting it slightly.
“Does it really save effort? Why do I feel like this is more tiring?” Liana didn’t feel this was much easier; rather, it seemed to increase her stamina drain.
Loraviel could hardly tell her that with Liana’s current strength, no matter how efficient the method, it wouldn’t make much difference, since her strength was limited to begin with.
“Perhaps it’s because Your Highness isn’t used to it yet. Besides, Your Highness’ previous training method could easily cause bodily harm—it’s very easy to get injured or pull a muscle,” Loraviel explained.
“I hope you’re not lying to me.” Liana naturally believed what Loraviel said. After all, she had little knowledge in this area. Besides, if there were any issues with Loraviel’s advice, Oliphia would certainly correct her. Since Oliphia hadn’t said anything, there must not be any problems.
Loraviel’s hand rested on Liana’s lower back, straightening her posture. Then her small hand wandered a bit lower, touching Liana’s buttocks.
But Liana could say anything, Loraviel quickly slid her hand back up to Liana’s lower back. “Your stance must be correct. This allows better force exertion, concentrating the body’s strength on your arms.”
“...” It was probably just an accident, and Liana didn’t think too much of it.
Under Loraviel’s intimate guidance, Liana did feel somewhat more at ease, but her inherent strength was still what it was.
This time, she managed about twice as many swings as when using the stone sword. Around the thirty-something swing, her hands holding the wooden sword began to tremble uncontrollably.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, but Liana continued to grit her teeth and persist, no longer complaining as she had before.
“Princess Liana, would you like to take a short break?” Loraviel felt worried for Liana.
