The Villainous Noblewoman Is About to Be Forced into Love, Isn't This Wrong?-Chapter 87: It can also be sweet without added sugar

"Um," Loraviel followed behind Liana.

Although Liana said she wanted to stroll around, she actually had no specific destination in mind, so she decided to rely on Loraviel's suggestions.

"Do you want to buy anything?" Liana asked.

"I've already bought what I needed," Loraviel replied.

However, Loraviel realized that Liana wasn't genuinely clueless about where to go; she had just thrown out the question.

But Loraviel herself wasn't sure what she needed either.

Moreover, her knowledge about the capital of Lisat was entirely a blank slate.

Nevertheless, there was one option that was definitely not wrong, and it was unlikely that Princess Liana would refuse.

After all, there might only be one chance in a lifetime to visit the Lisat capital.

As for goods, they weren't lacking anything at the moment, and they could be bought anywhere, especially a certain specialty like the food from Lisat.

"If we don't try it this time, there might not be another chance," Loraviel said.

"Head," Liana raised her hand.

"I understand," Loraviel bent down, allowing Liana's fist to land softly on her head.

Although Liana didn't like hitting her own head, each touch was gentle; it was more of a caress than a hit.

"I'm sorry, Princess Liana, did I do something wrong?" Loraviel asked.

"As a servant! Thinking about eating when you've done nothing?" Liana scolded.

"Sorry, Princess Liana, shall we still go?"

"Let's go."

"Oh, of course, we should go."

When the three of them just entered a tea house, a waiter came up to them, "What would you like?"

"A cup of tea, extra sugar, and some pastries," Loraviel spoke up, "Right, Princess Liana?"

"Don't assume you know me so well."

"Then, Princess Liana, do you need anything else?" Loraviel asked.

"Two cups of tea. I wouldn't want anyone thinking I can't afford even a servant's share," Liana leaned back, looking out the window.

The festival, which should have been lively, was now unusually quiet, as most magic users had found a quiet place to try things out.

"Loraviel, after hearing what Mepeilu said, did you have any thoughts?"

"【Deadly】 No matter what attributes are added, it possesses terrifying destructive power. If you add some area effect attributes, like the water attribute magic 【Mist】, just the thought of them combining is frightening," Loraviel replied.

"This seems a bit too far off for me; let's not talk about creation magic for now, what I need to do is master the basic magic," Loraviel said.

"I'm somewhat interested."

But her current magical knowledge was scant, and her magical power wasn't abundant. She was merely a novice magician, and even if she had ideas, her current self couldn't support them.

"It's truly a waste," Liana said irritably, "It really is a waste."

"I'm sorry..."

"Magic users like you are a waste! Magic requires imaginative thinking! With your slow brain, even if you knew what Mepeilu was talking about, what use would it be?" Liana berated.

"People can't conceive magic beyond their imagination."

"Use your brain! Like that useless acceleration magic you have, if it's written normally, it's acceleration on you, but what if it's reversed? Used on someone else, would it slow them down?" Liana suggested.

"..." This was something Loraviel had never considered, nor had Princess Mepeilu mentioned.

If what Princess Mepeilu had just said was about making people realize something common and then recombining it to create new magic, then Liana's words were about completely mixing up the attributes to create a new one.

"Stunned?" Liana looked at the somewhat dazed Loraviel.

Loraviel had thought that changing the amount of spell was already outrageous, but there were even more exaggerated things.

And given the current good relationship between Princess Liana and Princess Mepeilu, the matter of creation magic, Princess Liana was definitely in the know.

Or, more boldly, it might just be that the matter discussed by Princess Liana and Princess Mepeilu, although similar to what Mepeilu had said, was entirely different.

But these weren't important; what was important was that this was something Princess Liana taught her, and it was highly likely to be feasible.

"I'll try experimenting with it..." Loraviel said.

"Look at your magic," Liana's gaze returned to the window.

"Naer..." A familiar figure walked past [N O V E L I G H T] Liana.

Liana indeed held grudges, and it was too much to attack an unarmed person.

But now was clearly not the time to trouble him, especially since Princess Mepeilu valued her highly enough that she would be distressed over even a little scratch on her.

Now was Princess Mepeilu's rising period; it wouldn't do to cause her trouble because of her own issues.

"I'll let you off for a while, but after the festival ends and we return to the Venus Manor, even your father won't be able to protect you."

After all, Liana was a villainous character; it was only reasonable for her to be a bit cruel.

"Dear guests, here are your ordered dishes." The waiter placed the tea and pastries on the table, thoughtfully using two different colors to distinguish the cups of tea.

"That's not it."

"I understand," Loraviel nodded, then looked in the direction Princess Liana was gazing, finding her mesmerized by the view outside the window.

Loraviel also followed Liana's gaze and saw that Liana was looking at Naer.

Seeing Naer, Loraviel's expression also showed a flicker of emotion; if her previous actions hadn't been arranged by Princess Liana in advance, her mother might have already faced retribution from Naer...

Though it could be said that this situation was also caused by Liana.

Princess Liana probably didn't notice this side...

Although no one would dare to poison their drinks at such a time, Loraviel still checked her cup before handing the red, unsweetened cup to Princess Liana.

"Um." Liana took the cup of tea and took a sip.

"Are you sure this is unsweetened?"

Loraviel checked, "I'm sorry, Princess Liana, I made a mistake."

She handed the blue cup to Liana, "This is the one, Princess Liana. Don't worry, I haven't drunk from it."

"Idiot." Liana took a sip.

Although she called her an idiot, it sounded somewhat affectionate.

"Just have the waiter add some sugar," Liana said nonchalantly.

"That won't do!"

"Let's not trouble the waiter then," Loraviel pushed the cup away. "They are quite busy now, it might take some time."

Liana looked around; the cafe had indeed started to get busy, and the waiters were bustling about.

"But after all this time, you're still clumsy, really no improvement at all," Liana picked up the blue cup. "Since I have drunk from this, I’ll gift it to you."

"Thank you, Princess Liana." Loraviel took the cup with both hands, took a sip, and thought to herself how sweet it was...

She felt a bit perverse for enjoying this.

Liana, nibbling on some pastries, wondered how Mepeilu was doing. She must be swamped with inquiries from numerous nobles, hardly having any time for herself. Liana could only wander around with Loraviel.

"Isn’t that Miss Loraviel?" A strange voice came through.

Liana looked up to see a man in lavish attire.

"Prince Oster? What brings you here for tea?"

Liana didn't expect him; she glanced at him and continued eating.

Oster Lisat, Liana didn't know why he came to find her, previously mistaking him for the eldest prince, thinking he came to drive away this "incapable" one.

With his status, after knowing that magic could change, shouldn't he immediately seek out this "incapable" to see what she was up to? It seemed there was only one answer.

After all, it was well-known in the Lisat Kingdom that Liana was Mepeilu's weakness.

Now, with Mepeilu potentially surpassing the other heirs, breaking this balance meant that he, with the fewest supporters, had to find other ways.

"Space is limited, so guests must be prioritized, and besides, there’s no rush. Every now and then, learning more spells can only help in creating better magic, right?" Oster said with a smirk.

But Liana ignored him, as this was just another day for her.

Oster’s mouth twitched; although he anticipated this, experiencing it firsthand still angered him.

"May I sit here?" Oster asked.

The cafe was lively but not full. Liana casually pointed to an empty spot, "You can go there."

"I’d like to talk to you about something," Oster said with a smile, seeming very sincere, "I also brought you a small gift, and I’ll cover everyone’s expenses in this cafe today."

"Not interested," Liana dismissed, "I don’t need you to treat me."

This was the confidence Liana brought to herself; normally, nobles wouldn’t refuse words from an heir, but Liana was different.

She didn’t care who you were; if she wasn’t interested, even if the King of Lisat came... Well, she might consider it, but except for the King and the Judges, Liana didn’t need to give anyone else face.

"One, two, three," Liana put down three gold coins on the table, "including Oster's share, I've paid."

"Princess Liana, this is just some pastries, it’s too much, not even one silver coin is necessary,"

the waiter hurriedly said.

"Consider it a treat for everyone present," Liana pulled Loraviel and walked outside.

Oster, determined and with a grim expression, watched them leave.

As an heir, speaking so respectfully to a noble was giving them enough face, but Liana had just slapped him publicly, showing him no regard.

Liana walked outside, unsure where to wander next. She was quite a homebody, rarely having her own places to visit, usually just following her friends.

"Do you have anywhere you want to go?" Liana asked.

"I am Princess Liana’s servant, wherever Princess Liana goes, I go," Loraviel formally replied.

"..." Liana tapped Loraviel’s head, "I’m asking you, don’t always dodge the question."

"I’ve been to Lisat Capital many times, I’m tired of it, I know the whole capital, so this time I’m asking you. You should seriously think about where you want to go, what you want to do, instead of just brushing off my question."

Perhaps taking Loraviel out for a bit of fun was a small compensation.

"Do I want to go somewhere?" Loraviel looked around; she didn’t know where she wanted to go, having never been to Lisat Capital and unaware of its attractions, "Sorry, Princess Liana, I’m not sure."

Liana thought for a moment, "You always wear a maid's outfit."

"..." Loraviel looked at Liana, "Because I am Princess Liana’s maid..."

"As a maid, what else would you wear? Just the first set, I bought some clothes outside, wore them once, and never again."

"Shut up!"

Loraviel’s outfit, Liana had seen it before; when she first arrived at the Venus Manor, she was still a bit scared, so she didn’t choose anything fancy, and that outfit looked very ordinary.

And, Loraviel might not be a maid for much longer,

if she follows others in training, she can’t wear a maid’s outfit then; it’s time to buy her some new clothes.

"I’m tired of maid outfits, pajamas are boring too, I want to add a bit of excitement, you don’t mind, right?" Liana said.

"I... I don’t mind."

"Then let's go."

...

"Ah! Finally done!" Mepeilu escaped from the crowd, overwhelmed by one question after another.

"Minoja, where did Liana go?"

"It seems she took her maid to a clothing store."

"Ah?"
