Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant
Chapter 118 - 32 - The Thing About Cookies (part 4)Miriette shuddered at the thought.
There was no doubt that if Miriette would disgrace the royal family by running off with another man, a darkness magician no less, those bracelets would be used on her.
"...haa..."
Miriette sighed and sniffled.
|If only I wouldn't try to be all clever, Zoemi would try my good cookies and praise me! Right at the beginning!|
The dark-haired girl wanted to slap herself.
Seeing her like that, Horeo would have a good laugh - a cunning fox was so cunning that she tricked herself.
|I'm so awful, I even shoved that first cookie into his mouth so he wouldn't be able to taste it properly because there was no way that my cookies were as good as Patishi's...!|
Her shoulders were trembling and she stopped talking to herself.
Miriette didn't want to cry and she knew that if she opened her mouth now she would definitely start, so she kept silent.
"..."
Then, she straightened her back and nodded to herself.
|I will just take them and say they are the rejects that I left for myself, I'll give him one to try and that's it!|
She decided and immediately turned back to return.
*THUMP*
"Urgh...!"
And since she still had the hand with the cookies for Zoemi risen, she smacked it against the person who was walking behind her and the cookies fell on the ground.
"Ah...!"
"Buru, are you alright!? You! What do you think you're doing!?"
Miriette took a step back surprised after being shouted at.
The person she smacked was none other than the blond commoner girl, Burushiitto, and she was walking together with the second prince Surou.
The blond girl was biting her lips and massaging the arm that got hit and Surou was glaring at Miriette.
"!!!!"
But Miriette wasn't even looking at them - her eyes were focused on the plain wrapping on the ground.
The scruffy ribbon untied and the crushed cookies fell out.
|...That... resolves my problem...!|
Miriette's shoulders trembled violently and she loudly inhaled the air through her mouth, barely able to hold back the tears that suddenly welled up in her eyes with the force of a waterfall.
Miriette didn't try to pick up the cookies - since that would mean that she would have to lower her head in the front of the commoner - so instead, the dark-haired girl proudly raised her head and walked past the pair not even gracing them a single glance.
"Hey! I'm talking to you! Say sorry to Burushiitto! That's an order!"
"My prince, there's no need to!"
The second prince was furious and shouted at Miriette back while the blond girl tried to calm him down in visible panic.
"..."
Miriette stopped and only slightly turned her head towards the pair so they wouldn't notice her reddened eyes.
"Prince Surou, I think you are forgetting who you are talking to."
Miriette said through her teeth.
"Take a closer look. I am your older brother's fiance, Miriette Lisea Espine, the only daughter of grand duke Espine - and the strongest wind magician in the kingdom. I will never apologize to a mere commoner and it should be obvious that you have no rights to order me around, not even in a million years."
"!!!!"
Surou's face first paled, then became red as a beetroot, but after all, he merely clenched his teeth and shut up.
Miriette was right.
Her status was completely equal to the first prince's - and he, Surou, the second prince and only an average water magician - couldn't compare.
"Lady Espine! That was unnecessary...!"
The blond girl gasped in panic and pulled on the blue-haired boy's arm physically trying to get him away from the dark-haired girl as if she was terrified of the possible outcome.
"..."
Miriette moved her eyes just a bit so that Burushiitto silhouette would barely enter her field of vision.
She felt so jealous of her right now that she could barely contain herself.
Burushiitto's situation was the exact opposite of her own in every aspect.
She was so lucky that Miriette just wanted to strangle her with her bare hands right then and there.
"...!"
Sensing the dread and bloodlust coming from the noblewoman - not to mention seeing her hair becoming countless spikes - Burushiitto closed her mouth and hurriedly picked up the wrapping that Miriette dropped when she accidentally hit her.
"L-lady Espine, please, here, I'm sure that they are still good...!"
The blond girl tried to smile as she desperately tried to salvage the situation to the best of her ability...
|Is this an event? But this shouldn't happen like this! She looks so mad! There's no way that Surou will be safe if she snaps...!|
The heroine gulped her saliva barely able to force herself to stay and not run away immediately.
After the magic examination, Burushiitto didn't try to get in the way of Miriette simply because she was afraid of her.
The game never truly portrayed how horrifying the dark-haired girl's magic was.
Burushiitto was too scared to personally confront her and decided to dodge and miss every single event in which Miriette took part.
Probably that's why the heroine was twice as shaken at the moment since the dark-haired girl popped up in front of her and the second prince from behind the hedge of a garden area.
|This must be one of the events for the burn-scar guy! They really are way too violent! The creators went too far! I would review-bomb the game like crazy if I could!|
Burushiitto cried internally reaching her hand towards the ticking-bomb-looking girl praying that returning her the cookies so that the noble girl wouldn't have to lower her head in front of a commoner would do the trick.
"..."
Miriette glanced at the crushed cookies inside the opened wrapping and felt a sharp pain stabbing through her chest.
"You two can keep it, you suit each other well, nothing but failures!"
Miriette turned her back to the blond heroine and the blue-haired second prince and walked away with as much pride as she could - her chin was shaking uncontrollably and her eyes were full of tears prime to stream down her face.
"...!"
Burushiitto gulped and looked at the second prince.
Surou looked so furious that he could suffer a heart attack at any moment...
|What was that event for!? That guy is nowhere to be found and we never even mentioned him!|
Burushiitto looked at Miriette's back with confusion mixed with fear.
The scripted events changed and the script itself twisted to accommodate the accelerated timeline... Zoemi, who was about to go to prepare his master's supper, wasn't aware that the first of the events that he was so afraid of, just happened.
...only in such a way, that even the heroine wasn't able to properly recognize it....
