I Became A Villain In A Novel
Sixty seven
These few days Cecilia was very calm, even the rumors about Liona slowly began to disappear, the calm that should be like peace actually felt very strange.
"Did the serpent woman begin to repent? Why is he so calm at the moment?" Arthur asked while eating Almonds.
"Isn't it good that she's so calm, do you really want to be bullied by a woman like her?" Edward looked at her strangely.
No one knew Cecilia was currently in trouble as the illusion on the crown prince began to fade, her dark magic did not work well, Cecilia also often felt tired and dizzy.
Moreover, now that the leader of the holy tower actually demanded Cecilia to conduct dangerous experiments, hence she was very calm rather very busy with other things, even Cecilia did not think about Liona at all.
"What do you think, Liona?" Luther looked at Liona who was lying idly while reading an adult romance novel.
Liona was silent with her face flushed with shame, oh god Liona became a grown-up child, she accidentally gets an adult romance novel from her servant who a few days ago delivered a change of clothes for Liona.
"Ehem, I don't care, he doesn't bother me enough." Liona said with a slight cough of embarrassment.
"What is this about you?" Edward snatched the pink-coated book forcefully, Liona aghast from her lazy show.
"Damn it! Give me back my book!" Liona almost shouted, Edward read the title of the book that Liona read and then his face reddened in shame, because of curiosity Elios, Luther and Arthur also saw the title of the book.
Liona just stood up awkwardly and the men coughed with flushed faces, especially at the beginning of the reading there was a fairly indecent image.
"I can't believe you'd read a book like that, if Senior Alex knew what he'd do to you?" Arthur's chirp, Liona just glared at him awkwardly and picked up the book that was already lying miserably on the floor.
Liona did not answer and simply kept her book in her bag, by the way they skipped the lessons in the library that is currently under renovation.
"Why are you here."
The heavy voice halted their activity, looking towards the back of sir Joseph smiling flatly while holding a wooden sword.
"Stupid huh?"
The usually disciplined and neat Edward stood awkwardly, for some reason since hanging out with Liona he was really like a mischievous and uncivilized disciple, yet this kind of feeling was very new to him, and that's pretty exciting.
"Good day sir Joseph, I have to go because there is business, Excuse me." Liona bowed then ran for granted, Sir Joseph yelled telling her to go to the field to receive the punishment.
"Edward! You are an exemplary student, you can skip out with a bad boy like them, Go back to your class after completing the punishment, SE KA RANG!"
Edward turned awkwardly and ran, though embarrassing, but this really felt new to him, while Elios, who was not, Luther and Arthur, who were often caught by Sir Joseph, bowed in reverence, and departed from there leisurely.
"Has the academy's grades been dropping? Even the students can skip it." Sir Joseph muttered, then went to report the behavior of Liona and her friends to the head of the academy.
***
Liona had already started running around the field of sword training grounds, some sword majors were already not strange if Liona suddenly ran, because indeed she was often in the law!
Although Sir Joseph gave no instructions, but the punishment was absolute! Sir Joseph would ask if Liona and her friends carried out the punishment or not.
"Hosh hosh." Taking a deep breath Edward was completely exhausted, how could the frail-bodied Liona as well as her other powerful companions run 20 laps on this wide field?
He who just ran 17 rounds felt like dying of fatigue due to the vast diameter of the field.
"Just you're exhausted, you're not a sword arts major, we're used to it anyway, so it's not too heavy." Luther patted Edward on the back.
"Are you proud of a law like this?" Shouted Edward, the people who were there stopped their activities and noticed the gathering of fools who were noisy.
"Your volume is reduced, you're making my eardrum broken." Elios sneers.
It was really like a gathering of fools, even Liona just shook her head, feeling that she was the most normal and reasonable among them.
"We are proud to be in the law, running makes the body healthy and strong, this is also a kind of lesson." Arthur explained with his nose raised.
"..." - ".It seems that only you are proud of being in the law, thought the people who heard Arthur's words.
Liona did not care about those idiots, rushed back to her room because the lesson hours were up, Liona had no roommates, she was living alone now.
Shower and change clothes, then dry her wet hair with a saturated expression.
"Have you taken a shower?" Sean just suddenly came and hugged her from behind, smelling the scent of rose soap as fragrant as Liona's body.
"Yes, why are you coming?"
"You want to come with me to the desert?"
"For what? I was there for the expedition." Liona answered releasing Sean's embrace.
"It is not the desert that is in Mavros, but the desert country that does not enter into the imperial territory."
A desert country that does not belong to the imperial territory is known as a very dangerous place, not just the monsters are very ferocious, and the, the natives there were even worse in nature than the imperial nobles.
There, really respect the strong, no matter men or women as long as he has the strength, there will be a lot of followers.
Tribal warfare cannot be prevented either, they are not concerned with diplomacy, a truce for peace or anything related to it. They were very happy to compete to be the strongest!
"Why should I go there?" Liona frowned, she did not understand Sean, how could this man take her to such a dangerous place? His father and brother would not allow that!
"You remember when I told you there was a strange movement in the Xeros Mountains? In the desert there are also similar symptoms, and there are also some clues from the fall of sapios disease and worms that emit ink like squid."
Liona was a bit surprised, she had forgotten about it because a lot happened, Sean explained that the worm was named kloun worm.
Imperial researchers found it on ancient records in sacred temples, it was actually recorded on obsolete books that used an ancient language typical of the desert.
"Aren't worms in a damp place? The desert is hot."
