Chapter 116: Go Give Her Two Slaps
Since Liana had put it that way, Mephilia didn’t say anything more. Liana had considered everything thoroughly; whatever Mephilia could think of, Liana had surely already thought about.
Her relationship with Erinna at the academy was fairly good. After all, the Lisat Royal Capital and Venus Dukedom had always been closely connected—even before Lisat heirs became a monarch, the two were very good friends.
Even if Venus Territory had nothing special about it, to maintain the friendly relationship between the two families, Mephilia naturally had to stay close to the Venus Family.
And as Erinna outclassed the other two heirs, it was normal for Mephilia to have some interaction with her.
Although when they were young, Erinna always seemed to dislike her, as they grew up, that resistance disappeared. Instead, she seemed to actively approach Mephilia. She must have understood what she should be doing now, so she was no longer so resistant.
“Erinna should know about this very soon,” Mephilia said.
“Yes.” Liana felt Erinna would return to Venus Manor by tomorrow at the latest. “At that time, I’d trouble you to help Erinna a bit, Mephilia.”
“I understand.” Helping Erinna was equivalent to helping herself.
Although Mephilia had some supporters in various territories, she hadn’t received the public support of any lords. Or rather, the Venus Duke who supported Liana had disappeared.
As for the acting lord, Countess Rose, she had initially planned to choose between Mephilia and Second Prince Oester, but Mephilia always felt Countess Rose had no good intentions, so she remained vigilant. As a result, Countess Rose chose another path.
And after Liana became like this, Mephilia felt even more strongly that Countess Rose must have played a significant role, so she kept her distance.
The Darriss Territory had always been close to Crown Prince Hodwen, though they never showed it openly. But it was still better than Mephilia’s situation. Moreover, what Mephilia had done recently had greatly threatened the Darriss Territory.
