Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant

Chapter 412 135 - Back to the Aspakeony Academy (part 3)

|Why would some drawing get Teo to hate Burushi...?|

Miriette thought to herself in concern while walking through the entrance hall of the Academy building.

It was worth trying to dig into, for sure, but it wasn't some invaluable knowledge either – after all, for now, the commoner girl with a healing attribute was safe back in the Banemor territory keeping Zoemi as healthy as possible.

|...I miss him... maybe I will sneak out at night and fly to the Banemor territory to check up on him...?|

The dark-haired girl's interest switched to her former attendant the first opportunity it got as she looked to the side at the small argument a few students seem to have...

"...eh...?"

Miriette flinched the moment when she recognized the golden hair of her fiance, the first prince of the Bellcephora kingdom, Horeo Marets Bellcephora.

It was extremely unusual to witness the prideful youth having an argument in public, but one look at the other party made things a little bit more clear...

"My prince – it is a misunderstanding, really...!"

A cute brown-haired girl with a closed bud badge – a mark of a first-year student – who added many cute accessories to her uniform was raising her hands, making an apologetic expression.

"Patishi, you were crying. If those two are giving you a hard time, just say it and I will get rid of them."

The gold-haired first prince whose badge was that of a second-year student leaned forward and declared while glaring at two first-year boys standing on both sides of his attendant.

"No! My prince, this is a misunderstanding! Onne and Enleve weren't bullying me...!"

Patishi gasped getting bright red from embarrassment and started shaking her head vigorously.

"They were just...! Just..."

She stopped herself and tried to explain but then she became even more embarrassed and lowered her head and started fidgeting.

"...they were just...?"

Horeo raised his brow and asked cautiously.

"Holy shit, your highness, would you mind getting that stick out of your mud? We were teasing her – you know, like friends sometimes do. Pati is easy to tear up when she's embarrassed – which you would know if you paid more attention to her."

"..."

The slouching green-haired boy with shark teeth scoffed, leaning forward, and glared up at the grim-faced first prince who certainly didn't appreciate the tone of the shark-teeth boy's voice.

"Onne! You can't speak like that to my prince...!"

Patishi gasped turning to her green-haired friend and grabbing onto his sleeve with a worried expression.

"Your highness, you should hold yourself to a higher standard. Flying off the handle and threatening someone just because they are acquainted with your attendant is not giving off the best impression, don't you think...? Especially considering the current... situation..."

"Khahaha! Good one, Enleve~!"

The other boy, a black-haired one with a scar in the middle of his forehead, pointed out in a tired voice as he glared up at the gold-haired boy in front of them, making the shark-teeth Onne burst into laughter and nodded with satisfaction.

"I am reacting accordingly to the situation at hand. You two are a bad influence on my Pa... on miss Patishi."

Horeo straightened his back and declared in an ice-cold voice while squinting his eyes at the two younger boys.

"...bad influence, he says... he is just jealous that lady Patishi doesn't spend all her time with him."

"He is just as easy to tase as she thought. Did you hear him slip and almost call her – my Patishi –? Our little prince is definitely jealous~!"

"!!!!"

Onne and Enleve moved behind the apologetic Patishi and leaned towards each other, speaking just loud enough for the girl to hear them – and keep blushing from embarrassment.

Between the four of them – Horeo was actually angry, Onne and Enleve were half-serious and half still teasing their brown-haired friend, and Patishi was embarrassed but kind of happy, seeing the first prince so worried about her.

"Now listen here, you two...!"

Horeo breathed out and took a step forward...

"My prince, it's such a nice coincidence seeing you here. Were you perhaps waiting for me?"

...but that was a moment when Miriette decided to help him out a bit and stepped up to the scene...

...although a part of her did want to see how that even would play out...

"Oh? But of course, my love. I wanted to escort you to the classroom but was held back by some concerning behavior that caught my eye."

The gold-haired boy raised his brow in confusion as he did not realize that the dark-haired girl was around, but ended up recovering almost immediately and took the escape rope she had thrown him.

"..."

"..."

The first prince glanced over at the two problematic individuals, but both of them were bowing toward Miriette without saying a word in a display of perfectly proper behavior.

"I see that your stern talk works quite well. Be good, all three of you. Let's go, my prince."

The dark-haired girl glanced at the two suddenly well-behaved first-year boys and grabbed Horeo's arm, leading him away while winking to Patishi before walking away.

"...and here I thought that you were more composed than me – but here you go. Losing your cool seeing the girl you like around other boys."

Miriette leaned on Horeo's shoulder and snickered at him, making it seem as if she was whispering sweet nothings into his ear.

"Listen, there is something odd about those guys – about all the commoners in the first year, actually. I can't explain it but... they are just off as if they are not used to anything!"

Horeo sighed, leaning to the side making it seem like he was considering resting his head on his fiance's head but hesitating about displaying so much affection.

"...did you just say that it's suspicious that a group of commoners raised in an orphanage isn't perfectly adjusting to attending an academy full of only aristocrats...? Not everyone can be like Zoemi, you know? Even though he was originally living in the streets as a commoner, he was taken in and taught by Mizoe. Those kids are just doing their best. And they are very polite might I add. Comparatively, at first, Burushi was like a rampaging bull with her blatant ignorance of the rules."

The dark-haired girl sighed in disbelief while poking the gold-haired first prince in the side.

"Wery funny. Those commoners aren't acting as if they aren't adjusting well to living in the Academy. They are acting as if they aren't fully accustomed to having bodies. Anyway, speaking about your friend with the healing attribute, did you contact her lately? Any changes in Zoemi's state?"

Horeo breathed out a complaint before straightening his back and asking as the two of them were about to enter the classroom.

"I did, but it was the same as always. she said that she's doing her best, and to not lose hope. She is really nice. Maybe you will come to like Patishi's friends if you give them a chance, just like it was with me and Burushi?"

"..."

Miriette asked but Horeo only made a sour expression in response to her suggestion.

"They claim they are from Banemor territory. As far as we know they might be a part of my mother's plan to drag me down through discrediting Zoemi. I will not give a chance to someone who might be Zoemi's enemy."

The first prince grumbled defensively, and looked down, before pulling himself together and making a confident expression just as the two of them were entering the classroom.

"Pissy prince."

"Cunning fox."

The first prince and the noble lady snickered at each other to boost their morale and walked in, completely unaware that a certain black-haired boy was passing right behind his back together with his blond-haired attendant.
