I Reincarnated as a Wicked Girl
Chapter 3. Apologize
Previous Story:
Eva and Vivian eat at a restaurant. At first everything went fine until Reina went down. Reina's appearance triggered the emotions that were in Vivian's heart, so Vivian started shouting angrily. The atmosphere became rowdy. Vivian and I were filled with the hateful gazes of the restaurant guests. And as the conflict escalates, Denis suddenly emerges from the front door.
***
Denis and the second prince approached the source of the commotion in front of him. The moment they arrived, everyone immediately stood up and greeted him respectfully.
"What's going on?" Denis said in a cold tone while observing the crowd. "You shouldn't make a fuss in a public place like this. You have to keep your attitude in public. Have you forgotten the etiquette of nobles?"
Denis' gaze shifted to the others. "You guys too. You are currently wearing academy uniforms. Do you want to defame the academy by fighting in a public place"
Everyone's faces are down.
"I'm sorry.your highness...." Reply Reina Sad with teary eyes. "I was wrong..."
"No!" one of Reina's friends was against it. "Reina is completely innocent. He just wanted to say hello to his brother. But who knew her brother would snap at her like that. Everyone here is a witness. They saw the two noble girls hurt Reina" he said heroically.
Denis looked at the woman. Then he turned his gaze alternately towards Eva and Vivian.
Vivian looked down.
But when Denis looks at Eva, Eva looks back at him with bulging eyes.
Actually I feel upset. Why is this guy here? He'll blame me again, won't he? But...Hmh! I don't care at all! As she looked at me and Vivian in full investigation, I immediately glared at her. You want to yell at us, don't you? Do it! I don't care anyway!
But, that didn't happen according to my estimation! When our eyes met, Denis only looked at me for two seconds then turned his gaze awkwardly.
"You must have misunderstood." Denis said as he looked at Reina's friends one by one. "I know the conflicts that are going on in their families" she said as she glanced at Reina and Vivian alternately. "You can't possibly not know...Everyone already knew that the relationship of the two marquis princesses was not good. You shouldn't bring conflict related to your family affairs in public like this" he said as he looked at Reina and Vivian. "Then you guys shouldn't involve people who have absolutely nothing to do.." she timidly glanced at Eva.
"I'm sorry your highness" Vivian said as she lowered her head.
"Pardon me too, your majesty." said Reina with a flushed face of embarrassment. Surprisingly, that sad face disappeared in an instant. He lowered his face in shame.
"I know your relationship is bad. But you shouldn't fight like this in public. I hope you guys can make up" Denis said.
"I heard you ran away from your house, didn't I?" ask Vivian.
Vivian just nodded.
"You should have come back. The marquis told me everything. About Reina, you better not overreact to her" Denis said.
Hearing Denis' words, Vivian clenched her hands tightly holding in anger. "Okay, your majesty" he said with a trembling voice. "But I do want to stay away from the mansion. I want to live independently"
"All right, you can disperse, right? You guys are attracting too much attention. I don't want any bad rumors to be formed because of your attitude" Denis said in a wise manner.
"I resign my majesty" said Reina. He took three of his friends to the second floor.
When I saw his departure, I nodded happily. A good choice. He went to the second floor, at least we won't see each other again. Moreover, we have finished eating. It's time to go back to the dorm.
"Let's go back" I brought Vivian.
We both stood up. Denis and the prince were both still standing in place. I don't care about it. Even though I feel like Denis keeps looking at me. I didn't look at him at all. I treat it like air. Assume there is no. I don't want my emotions to go up when I see them. It's bad for health you know...
As we walked out, Denis suddenly pulled my hand.
"Wait" he said. "There's something I'd like to talk to you about for a minute"
"Hmmm!" I snatched while looking at him unhappily. But looking at the serious look in his eyes, I followed his wishes. Instantly my heart softened. "All right..."
"I'm Eva first. I'm going back to the dorm" Vivian said.
"Be careful"
"I go first" Denis said as he looked at the second prince.
"Ehh? We're not eating?" said complaining.
"Go to the second floor. The girl was there. Didn't you take me in because you wanted to follow him" Denis said with a mocking smile.
The second prince's face immediately flushed. Without saying anything, he immediately ran to the second floor.
"Follow me" Denis said as he looked at Eva seriously.
Denis took him flying towards the side courtyard of the academy. Coincidentally the courtyard provided chairs and tables, then the condition was also deserted. No one will interrupt their conversation.
I immediately sat down on one of the chairs, but Denis was still standing next to him.
"What do you want to say?" I said lazy. "I'm busy too. I can't spend my time on unimportant things"
I immediately flinched. It's shocking! This guy's sorry? Just be right!
"Are you going to forgive me?" he said expectantly with sparkling eyes. This really does damage Denis's image in the story. Where did that cool, cool guy go! He looks like a fool now! Just look at her teary eyes and reddened face. He's like a whiny boy....But she's pretty cute...
"Yes." I said softly, still not believing.
Hearing Eva's doubtful reply, Denis lowered his head in disappointment. "I'm sorry for helping you" he said softly. "I won't repeat it again. I was cold because of my high self-esteem. I won't be cold anymore. I'll treat you the same as everyone else. Don't hate me okay." she said in a pleading tone.
My mouth twitches. I'm really confused.
If anyone sees this scene. They will misunderstand. Because Eva was sitting with the attitude of a queen and her face was flat. Then Denis with a pitiful face and bowed to her. It's like the scene of the employer yelling at his servant. Of course everyone would be surprised that behaving like that servant was the crown prince.
"I don't hate you okay..."
"But at that time you said you hated me?"
"I was emotional at the time. I don't hate you at all."
"..."
Denis raised his face. In an instant his pitiful expression instantly disappeared and he smiled mischievously. "All right.." He brought his face closer to Eva. "Then can we meet every day?"
Because of Denis' sudden movements I flinched a little and my face flushed red. "That's impossible to meet every day" I said while keeping my face uncomfortable.
Denis's face turned disappointed for the second time. "Then, will you join the Council?" bring again.
"Eh? But I'm still a new student. Isn't the Council only for senior disciples?"
Denis smiles. "Just leave it to me" Denis said as he puffed his chest proudly. "From this year I was chairman of the Board. I'll change the rules. If you want to join, I consider my apology acceptable" he said with pleading eyes.
I feel bad to refuse. This doesn't matter anyway. "All right.."
Denis smiles. He opened the dimensional space and took out a box. "It's my apology gift." she said, giving it to Eva. "I wanted to give it to you at the party. But our relationship is getting worse....I didn't get to give it to you."
I also directly opened the dimensional space and took out a gift box "This is your birthday present. I didn't get to give it to you at that time either"
Actually I never prepared a birthday present for Denis. I'm not thinking at all. This gift was prepared by Diana. Diana made a twin knitting scarf. He gave it to me and the rest gave it to the crown prince.
They receive each other gifts.
Denis smiles. Her ears are red. But of course Eva didn't notice.
"I want to take you away..."
Denis has not finished his words. "No" I refused. "I'm busy. I have to train and accompany Vivian" I said.
Actually I avoided being alone with Denis. Even if we forgive each other, it's still awkward for me. This sudden change in Denis' attitude made me uncomfortable. Although I want her to not be cold to me, but her current attitude is too excessive. Anyway, try to imagine...People who have been hostile to you for years suddenly apologized with a face of compassion and invited you to meet every day. Of course it must be awkward. I even thought Denis was poisoned with a brain-damaging herb, so he behaved like this.
It's not the Denis I know....
Without further ado, I immediately retreated and headed to my dormitory.
As I walked into the room, I saw Vivian was busy with strange images.
"You're back?"
"Hmm" I immediately threw myself on the bed.
"What are you talking about?"
"She apologized at the time of the incident that night" I replied directly while pondering.
"Well, it's not the crown prince's fault. It was the woman's fault that seductress. He always teases men. Even my father was tempted by her" Vivian said resentfully.
"You hate him so much. What exactly is going on?"
Vivian began to explain the source of the problem. Why does she hate Reina so much. After hearing it, I looked. Novel never even explains that Reina likes to steal Vivian's stuff. But seeing this familiar Reina is very different from the description in the novel. If my guess is correct, that Reina pretended to be a plain and naive girl. Isn't this Reina too cunning?
"I think the crown prince likes you. You don't like her?" ask Vivian.
"Like yes...I haven't decided yet." I said ambiguously.
I don't know, but I don't feel like him yet. Even though my heart is beating a little because of his sudden attitude. But it's not like. Because I felt the same way around Robert and Sayn.
I don't want to expect too far anyway. I was afraid that when I really fell in love, my emotions would get out of hand. And I actually fell into a ravine like Eva in the novel. She has lived Eva's life for five lifecycles. Eva is easily in love and jealous, then Eva is tragically lucky because of her love. It makes me afraid to fall in love.
'Besides, it's just a novel. Everything here is just a fantasy. I still don't think everything I've experienced in this world is real. I feel like I've had a long dream...'
