The Villainous Noblewoman Is About to Be Forced into Love, Isn't This Wrong?

Chapter 38

Olivia, who had no idea what was going on, put down her wine glass and left her seat immediately upon receiving Mepeilu’s summons. She quickly arrived at the princess’s door. "Princess Mepeilu, Vice Captain of the Second Squad of the Third Legion, Olivia."

"Come in." Only after receiving permission did Olivia push open the door and step inside.

She wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but Princess Mepeilu seemed to be in an unusually good mood. Just moments ago, when she had left the banquet, she had still looked rather gloomy.

Olivia knelt on one knee before Mepeilu. "Your Highness, what do you need from me?"

"Sit down," Mepeilu gestured for Olivia to take a seat across from her.

Olivia hesitated slightly but still took a seat, though she was visibly uneasy. "Then, I’ll accept your grace, Your Highness."

Minoya poured tea for the two of them.

"Lady Minoya, how could I possibly allow you to pour tea for me?!" Olivia was shocked. The esteemed Judge personally serving tea? That was an honor reserved only for the king or the king’s heir.

"Sit down. Princess Mepeilu has some things she wants to ask you." Minoya, on the other hand, was completely unfazed.

After all, she wasn’t just a Kingdom Knight and Guardian Knight. When she was by Mepeilu’s side, she was also a servant.

Or rather, she actually quite enjoyed playing the role of a servant.

"Oh, alright!" Olivia adjusted her posture. "What is it you wish to ask, Your Highness? Is it about Lady Liana?"

Mepeilu nodded. "I didn’t get the chance to talk about it properly at the banquet. How has Liana been behaving lately?"

At the mention of this, Olivia huffed in frustration. "Lady Liana is just too much! Naibet told me that she completely forced Loraviel to stay at the Venus estate."

Jealousy! Jealousy! Jealousy! Jealousy! Jealousy! Jealousy!

"Your Highness?! What’s wrong?!" Olivia jumped at the sudden sound. "Are you alright?!"

Mepeilu shook her head and wiped the spilled tea off her hand with a napkin. A divine glow healed her minor burn. "That’s truly unacceptable!"

"Exactly! Lady Liana is being way too much!"

Princess Mepeilu really was too kind. She was furious to this extent because of such an injustice!

[Loraviel is way too much! She gets to sleep with Liana every night! I haven’t slept with Liana in five or six years!]

Mepeilu cleared her throat. "I’ll think of a way to handle this. But it won’t be easy... After all, it’s Liana."

Olivia nodded. She understood well how troublesome Liana was. Even if it was Princess Mepeilu, Liana wouldn’t listen to her. Finding a way to safely take Loraviel away was going to be extremely difficult.

"So for now, just stay in the Venus estate and protect Li... Loraviel."

Since I can’t stay by Liana’s side all the time, having Olivia here to watch over her should be fine, right?

"I can do that, but what about my duty as a royal guard in the Lisat capital...?" The Third Legion was Mepeilu’s personal royal guard, meant to protect her.

"Consider it a vacation. Besides, I probably won’t be returning to the capital much in the near future, so there’s no need to worry about security. It’s a time of peace, after all. No need to be so cautious. And I have Minoya with me."

"Understood! Your Highness, I will make sure to protect Loraviel!"

"Good. Make sure you watch her carefully!" That damn sneaky cat! You better keep an eye on her!

"Understood!" Olivia wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt a very strong sense of resentment in the air. Yet, she had no idea where it was coming from.
