The Villainous Noblewoman Is About to Be Forced into Love, Isn't This Wrong?-Chapter 63: The Antidote and Magic

"No, no, no! It was just an accident, Liana. You just confirmed that Loraviel wouldn’t dare to act against you, and the situation at the time was a bit delicate."

"You had no choice, so you were forced into doing that, it's not your fault."

"Talk? What about? Mepeilu, I really didn’t do anything with Loraviel." Liana felt a little guilty, not very convincing.

"Oh? Then why did you avoid looking into my eyes just now?"

"No, no, you must have misunderstood. Oh! By the way, Countess Ruth told me to get along with you a little better." Liana quickly changed the subject.

"（▼皿▼#）Something definitely happened between them."

"Anyway, we’ll put that aside for now. After all, Mepeilu will retrieve it later."

"If we're seriously talking about the previous subject," Countess Ruth glanced at us, "Liana."

Liana repeated the things she had done to Loraviel and what she had said to Countess Ruth.

"Now I can be completely sure, I’m just a stepping stone for Countess Ruth."

Maybe at first, she did intend to stand by my side, but after all this time, I still remained indifferent towards her, so she gave up on that option.

She had found another way out for herself.

"To have you lurk by my side, ready to deliver a fatal blow at the most critical moment? It's just a pity that she didn’t know, you’re already mine." Mepeilu laughed.

Liana always felt something was off about that statement, but it didn’t seem to be wrong.

However...

"Really impressive, Liana, to have Countess Ruth trust you so much." Mepeilu’s admiration for Liana only grew.

"Even if you praise me like that, I won’t be happy." Liana shrugged. "Countess Ruth’s trust in me is only because you care so much about me. She’s just taking advantage of that."

Liana was the only weakness Mepeilu had earlier.

"So, you should do something for me, right?" After what had happened, Mepeilu had thought about a lot of things after returning.

"This sentence makes you the one comforting me," Liana smiled.

"By the way, I came here to prepare a little surprise for you." Mepeilu said mysteriously.

"Is it about the antidote?"

"Yeah! After all, I took it first. Even though it was made by Miss Anbis, there are people in the palace who can also make such medicine, so the antidote was quickly created." Mepeilu handed Liana a small bottle.

As soon as Liana opened the cap, a very unpleasant odor spread out. After all, the ingredients used to make it weren't exactly fragrant.

Liana pinched her nose and quickly drank it down in one gulp.

"Ugh!"

Liana gagged a few times; the taste was really hard to bear.

But since it was the antidote, Liana had no choice but to endure.

She took several sips of water before finally recovering.

"How long will it take for it to take effect?" Liana asked.

"According to Lord Lu, in order to avoid any delayed side effects that could go unnoticed, the effect of this medicine is immediate. In other words, as soon as you swallowed it, it began to take effect."

"Don’t you feel anything special, Liana?" Mepeilu asked with some concern.

"Is it still too late?"

"Um... How do I use magic?" If they could figure this out quickly, they would know if Liana could use magic.

"Did you forget already?"

"It’s been so long." It had been six years since Liana last used magic.

"Your body will remember. Follow me." Mepeilu handed Liana a small wand.

Since Liana had just taken the medicine, if it was effective, the magical strength would be the same as it was six years ago.

She would need the wand’s assistance to cast magic.

"Do you remember the first spell we learned?" Mepeilu held Liana’s hand.

"All-knowing, all-powerful God of Wisdom, please guide the lost lamb to the correct path."

The two of them recited the incantation in unison.

But this time, Mepeilu did not release her magic; instead, she acted as a guide.

Liana’s body remembered the magic before her mind did.

"Did... did it work?" Liana’s hands were trembling.

Did she really learn it?

That magic that had only existed in legends in her world?

Liana’s heart was extremely excited. This was what she had always dreamed of.

But now, what Liana was more concerned about was...

What she had chosen was her own hair, but there was a golden glow coming from Mepeilu’s drawer.

She remembered that she hadn’t put anything in Mepeilu’s drawer.

"What is that..."

"Ahaha, Liana! We did it!" Mepeilu stood in front of Liana.

"That..."

"Really worked!" Mepeilu said again.

"..." This scene seemed so familiar to Liana.

"Let me test your inherent magic!" Mepeilu said very proactively.

"Okay? How do we test it?" Liana asked.

Liana roughly guessed that even if she kept asking, she wouldn’t get any real answers, so she gave up on the idea.

"We need to go to a more open and safe place." Mepeilu said.

Liana had never experienced magic awakening. The awakening of magic would cause corresponding reactions based on the user's magical power.

So it was necessary to go to a safer place and have an excellent mage guide her for safety.

"Better not in Venus Manor," Liana said.

"Afraid Countess Ruth will find out, right?"

"Yes." Liana nodded. She didn’t want Countess Ruth to know, or anyone to know that she could use magic.

Especially now that the situation had reversed. It was no longer Countess Ruth using Liana; it was Liana using Countess Ruth.

So Liana naturally didn’t want this matter to be exposed too soon.

"Let’s go a bit farther."

"Let’s go to our childhood secret base!" Mepeilu suddenly said.

"Secret base? It’s been so long since I’ve been there."

The memories hidden in the corner of Liana’s mind slowly began to awaken.

It was a forest about ten kilometers from Venus Manor, filled with various herbs and creatures. Sometimes, you could even see a few small fairies.

It was a paradise that ordinary people couldn’t enter, protected by a powerful magic barrier, and there were guards watching over it.

Later, they learned that this was Liana’s mother’s place, Anbis’ Garden.

"Sorry to disturb, Miss Anbis probably won’t mind, right?"

"If mother cared, she wouldn’t have let us in."

"Do we need to bring anything?" Liana asked.

"The essentials are already prepared." Mepeilu thought for a moment. "Just in case, we should bring a set of clothes?"

"...?" Liana wondered if she heard wrong, "Clothes?"

"Yeah, sometimes there might be some special situations."

Mepeilu nodded.

"But don’t worry, Liana. My magic awakening was guided by Miss Anbis, so I have some experience. With me here, I’ll make sure you have a great first experience!" Mepeilu patted her chest.

Wait... Why does this sound more and more wrong?

"Really... just magic awakening?" Liana asked with some concern.

"Really." Mepeilu reassured Liana.

"Alright, then let’s go." Liana extended her hand.

Mepeilu froze for a moment. How long had it been since they held hands?

"After all... Countess Ruth asked me to get along with you for now."

"Mm." Mepeilu didn’t take Liana’s hand but grabbed her arm directly. "Isn’t this better?"

Liana could feel her arm touching something very soft, but hard to describe.

Is this the difference of one hour...

Liana clearly felt that Mepeilu had a bias against her, her values were too low!

"Princess Mepeilu... so kind."

"Eh..."

In the past, when others saw Mepeilu holding Liana’s arm, they were all surprised.

"Princess Mepeilu is really kind, she forgave Liana again."

Some people even stood up for Princess Mepeilu.

"What’s her expression! She’s the one who did something wrong!"

"Why do you look like you forgave Princess Mepeilu!"

And this time, when Princess Mepeilu received news of the poisoning, she hurriedly came over.

The one most likely to have poisoned was Liana, don’t let Princess Mepeilu be fooled!

This kind of gossip was exactly what Countess Ruth wanted to hear.

"Your Highness." Countess Ruth approached the two of them, looking very satisfied as she nodded.

"Countess Ruth." Mepeilu nodded.

"Looks like your relationship is back to the way it was." Countess Ruth smiled.

"Liana said she has realized her past mistakes and will start to change her attitude. I’m happy." Mepeilu smiled.

"Well, you’re a good child, Liana has grown, I’m glad." Countess Ruth nodded with satisfaction.

But Mepeilu didn’t have the mood to waste time with Countess Ruth. She quickly pulled Liana away, obviously in a hurry.

And she was really curious about Liana’s inherent magic.

"Don’t treat me like a child!" Liana spoke up appropriately.

Mepeilu understood her meaning.

"Yes, yes." Mepeilu nodded with an "I get it" look.

"I’m glad Liana is changing, so! To celebrate this special moment, I want to take Liana out for a walk. We haven’t chatted in a while."

"That sounds great. Do you need me to prepare anything? Like a carriage?" Countess Ruth asked.

"Thanks for the offer, Countess Ruth, but we don’t need it for now." Mepeilu pulled Liana’s hand, and they walked outside.

Minoja was already waiting outside with a prepared carriage.

"Your Highness, where are we going?" Minoja asked.

"Miss Anbis’ garden."

"It’s been so long since I’ve been there."
