Chapter 117: Venus Dukedom’s Meeting
“Princess Liana?” Loraviel appeared somewhat confused.
Nair frantically spoke, “Princess Liana, please don’t be too excessive. I admit that I was somewhat disrespectful to you before. I apologize. That was truly me being ignorant. I didn’t understand Countess Rose’s true face, which is why I was deceived by her and did such things.
“Besides, a big reason I acted that way was because your acting was too good! No one could tell you were acting, so I was deceived. Liana, your acting was really amazing.”
Nair was clever, shifting all blame to Countess Rose while repeatedly emphasizing that Liana’s acting was too good, which had deceived her. Not only did she portray herself as a victim, but she also kept praising Liana’s behavior.
But all of this was futile in front of Liana. Liana knew clearly that Nair was rotten to the core, and it was impossible to forgive such a bastard.
“I’m sorry, but I wasn’t acting,” Liana looked at Nair. “Besides, the kind of person I hate most is someone like you.”
Liana truly despised people like Nair. It was also Nair who had almost caused her serious trouble. Liana didn’t know how she could have compensated Loraviel if something had happened to her mother.
“I told you to slap her. Don’t you understand?” Liana looked at Loraviel. “This person was very close to Countess Rose before. Who knows if she had other dealings with Countess Rose?”
“Now is a good opportunity. Plus, considering her previous disrespect towards me, this is just teaching her a small lesson. After the lesson, hand her over to Oliphia for questioning. If something can be extracted from her, the credit could be attributed to me. We can both vent frustration and earn merit—why not?”
“Or are you planning to disobey my orders?” Liana looked at Loraviel. “Have I been too kind to you recently? Have you become a bit lax?”
Liana reached out and tilted Loraviel’s chin up.
Liana still hoped that Loraviel would study with hatred and a desire for revenge. As those were the fuel that turned her powerful in the original story. This way, she would have a clearer goal to grow quickly.
