Chapter 113: Crocodile Tears
Liana looked at the person. This wasn’t the same servant as before. It seemed Countess Rose was determined to have her go there now.
If she refused now, the other party would probably forcibly take her there.
“It seems Countess Rose really has something very important to discuss with me. Usually, she’s very patient and wouldn’t rush me like this.”
“I’m not sure either, but Countess Rose seems to be in a great hurry. Besides, Princess Liana, you’ve already finished your business, right? Don’t tell me you’re going to make up another strange excuse to brush her off?” the servant asked.
This servant was much more direct than the previous one and wasn’t afraid of Liana. After all, her status was different from the previous one. She was to Countess Rose what Loraviel was to Liana—Countess Rose’s personal maid, with greater authority.
“What do you mean by ‘making up strange excuses’? Show some respect when speaking to me.” Liana smiled at her. “Otherwise, even if you are Countess Rose’s personal servant, it won’t do you any good. After all, I may be a noble now, but I’m only staying as the young lady of Venus Manor out of consideration for the Venus family. If I wanted, I could go to the royal family at any time, and become a royalty, a royalty of high status.”
“At that time, not to mention you, even Countess Rose wouldn’t dare say anything to me. Understand?” Liana’s tone was extremely arrogant. Of course, Liana had every right to be arrogant, and everything she said was true.
“I apologize, Princess Liana. I was a bit too hasty. However, Countess Rose simply wants you to come quickly. It’s truly a very important matter. She’s waiting for you in the back garden,” the servant’s expression was somewhat peculiar.
But Liana didn’t continue. It was time—time to close the net.
If she waited any longer, Liana was concerned the small fish might escape. She just didn’t know if catching one small fish would lure in a bigger one.
Liana exhaled a cloud of white mist and rubbed her hands together. The weather was really getting colder. Let’s resolve this quickly and then crawl back into bed to rest.
Liana walked toward the back garden and could see Countess Rose sitting under the pavilion from a distance.
