Chapter 92
Translator: Cryus
The dormitory in the Academy is separated between male and female .
Even though it’s a co-educational school, it’s only natural for the Academy to establish it this way because of the multitude of children from prestigious families . The girls’ dormitory has three floors, and students are separated according to social status instead of grade level . In fact, students with a background of high nobility are allocated to the third floor .
And of course, I’m reigning on the highest floor because I’m the proud daughter of the Duke .
Right now, there are only three students, including myself, who reside on the third floor . Even here, I’m the one who is the highest in terms of social status . And I have been behaving arrogantly as the villainous daughter of the Duke, as the highest ranked noble in the Academy .
I’ve brought Freesia into my room, and now I’m facing her alone .
“So, tell me who the hell you are . ”
“Y-yes!”
Freesia’s shoulders are quivering in nervousness, it’s almost funny . I’ve enjoyed doing things like this as well as stirring things up since my decision to take on the role of the villainess .
“I-I am Freesia Istar- oof!”
She bit her own tongue .
She almost made me laugh, so I sigh and stop myself, and give her a sharp sideways glance . Her face flushes with embarrassment .
“Uh, um, I am a new student who enrolled in the Academy the other day . ”
“I see . ”
I nod generously while trying to hold in my laughter in the face of her embarrassment .
I was going to make her kneel on the floor, but I give up on the idea . That would be too much of me . Also, I only take joy in teasing people .
Plus, because I dragged her in here all of a sudden, the maid is giving me a cold stare for not giving her time to prepare .
The black tea I’m drinking right now, as well as the various tea snacks arranged on the table, were prepared in a hurry by the maid, who’s staring at me while leaning against the wall . She probably wouldn’t listen to me even if I told her Freesia wasn’t a guest . If I misbehave too much, she will most definitely have something to complain about later .
I haven’t brought many of the other servants from the house since moving into the dormitory in the Academy . There are rules stipulating that students may bring up to three people, but I’ve only brought the maid along because she volunteered her assistance .
But the person I need to deal with right now isn’t the maid, but this idiot girl in front of me .
“Well then, Freesia Istar — wait, Istar?”
I was going to ask her why she was treating Michelie like that, but I get interested upon hearing her family name .
“Count Istar…… You’re his daughter?”
“Yes, that’s exactly right!”
I cross my arms in thought .
The Istar family has some status . I have a slightly friendly relationship with the head of the family, Lord Augustine . From what I remember, he had a stout build and was a perfect gentleman .
I’m making a frown .
How did a child of that gentleman turn out to be this way?
“M-my father has told me about you, Lady Christina!”
“Really? I haven’t seen him since I enrolled in the Academy……”
“Well, it was a long time before you enrolled, Lady Christina . He told me how perfect of a lady you were, and that he would raise me just like you . How often he praised you . ”
“Oh . ”
I wasn’t into this conversation at all, but now I’m nodding in interest .
I’m impressed by Lord Augustine’s judgment . Also, this girl has shown me her good side . She has had some good education .
“And so I have been in awe of you, Lady Christina . When I was a child, Father brought me to one of your parties, and I saw how awesome you were from a distance . Since then, I have always been excited about the thought of becoming a decent lady and meeting you!”
“I see . ”
That was quite a long time ago . She’s looked up to me not because of my misconduct, but because she was inspired by me in my younger days .
I don’t blame her . I’ve been working hard to ruin my own image now, I was in fact almost a flawless and perfect lady in the past .
“I have wanted to tell you especially now that we have met, but I have always refined my own culture with you as my role model, Lady Christina!”
“Hm? Are you making fun of me?”
“Huh? No…… Why would I do that?”
Why would she do that? There’s no way she’s turned out to be such an idiot if she’s been looking up to me as her role model . It’s like she’s saying, “I’ll become an idiot by mimicking you!”
“Well, I may sound presumptuous, but I just wanted to tell you how much I have looked up to you……”
“Ah, well, nevermind . ”
Maybe she just lacks self-awareness . I’m taking pity on her while drinking the cup of black tea .
It must be a pity for her not to realize how idiotic she is . I’m observing her with renewed effort .
Her eyes are a different blue compared to Michelie’s . Her facial features are so neat that she would stand out among a crowd . Her long and thick hair is curled up in a very extravagant fashion .
She stands out so much, yet she never appeared in Labyrinth Destiny . She does look gaudy, but with such a strong personality, it looks like she will never have a good love life .
“Alright, I’ve heard enough . Don’t cause any more commotions like that anymore . Also, stay away from Michelie as much as you can . ”
To be honest, Freesia has entertained me in a few ways, so I find it a pity . But if she keeps getting involved, it could very well derail the scenario . That’s why I have to warn her to stay in the backstage .
But her eyes sparkle when she hears my words .
“That won’t do . ”
“No, please do . ”
If she really respects me, why won’t she listen to me?
“I will not cause any trouble to you, Lady Christina . ”
“Well, you caused a lot of trouble just now . ”
“I’ll just have to win against that Michelie Noir!”
“That’s how you caused the commotion in the first place!”
Freesia makes a tight fist in determination . She’s not listening to me at all .
And for some reason, her face is turning red in shyness now .
“Um, well, this may be impudent of me, but I have a request…… Is that all right?”
“Yeah . Go away . ”
“Is that really all right?!”
She’s too positive .
I get the feeling she only heard me say yes . I’m impressed by her ability to listen to only what she wants to hear, and I might as well listen to her request .
“Tell me . ”
“P-please, allow me to join your faction, Lady Christina . ”
“Alright, go away . ”
“Is that really alright?!”
“……”
They say it’s difficult to win an argument against idiots and conmen . I’m starting to get a headache as she’s shouting for joy .
