A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 2] Chapter 10

[Vol. 2] Chapter 10: A Promising Future

After nearly an hour, they finally cleaned up the dormitory! However, at this moment, the church sent someone to inform them that a meeting would begin in ten minutes.

Ifia looked at the freshly made clean beds, feeling a bit melancholic. Despite the busy hours without time to rest, she waved at them, silently thinking she would return soon. The beds must wait for her!

“Ah, I’m so tired. If I knew we had to work, I should have brought a maid with me.”

“You can give up on that idea. The church doesn’t allow unrelated individuals to enter.”

Jessica, exhausted as well, couldn’t help but express her frustration as they walked together towards the small chapel. Arlan chuckled and extinguished any hope in Jessica’s heart.

However, soon, Arlan’s eyes shifted. She looked at Irene, who wore a fake smile on her face, and became curious about this commoner student.

Irene was relatively active among the commoner students in the class. Therefore, Arlan had a somewhat superficial impression of her. However, that was about it. Despite Irene’s good grades, earning the second-best position in the last exam, she still didn’t have much fame.

The reason was simple.

On the day when exam results were announced, Ifia secured the first position in the grade and was accused of cheating. After a series of incidents, including the shocking revelation of her outstanding appearance, who still cared about who got the second position in the grade! All attention was focused on Ifia. Not to mention the subsequent news of Ifia gaining the approval of Miss Barlen, the Duke’s daughter, which continued to amaze people. How could a commoner like Ifia be friends with Miss Barlen!

In this situation, others’ interest in Ifia grew, while Irene became increasingly unnoticed. It was expected to be this way. However, when people saw Irene stepping down from Prince Carloy’s carriage today, it immediately made others doubt her ordinary status.

The dog that barks doesn’t bite, silence brings fortune!

However, when Irene, who clearly wanted to show off, was rendered speechless by Ifia’s casual mention of cleaning the room, Arlan couldn’t help but want to laugh. If Irene had chosen to boast to someone else, she wouldn’t have received such a response.

Ifia often saw outstanding individuals like Miss Barlen, her discerning eyes had long been developed. How could she possibly envy a classmate who merely traveled with the prince?

Of course, this didn’t mean Irene had no value, it just varied from person to person. Unlike Ifia’s outward indifference, others were curious about why Irene knew the prince!

Therefore, Arlan deliberately engaged with Irene, later shifting the conversation to her: “Irene, are you very familiar with Prince Carloy?”

It sounded like a normal chat, not overly probing. However, there was a hint of curiosity in her words, seemingly eager for Irene’s response.

Upon hearing this, Irene’s mood, which had been uncomfortable due to Ifia’s request to clean the room, immediately lightened. She secretly rejoiced that she finally had a connection with Prince Carloy and anticipated more in the future! At that time, she could make these arrogant noble students envy her, while other commoner students would be filled with jealousy.

“Not very familiar, but Prince Carloy has extended his helping hand to me several times. He’s a very good person, extremely compassionate and responsible.”

Although Irene had many thoughts in her mind, she couldn’t reveal too much at the moment. To prevent any mistakes that might push the prince away from her.

“Yeah, Prince Carloy is indeed an outstanding heir to the throne. With Miss Barlen as his virtuous assistant in the future, it will undoubtedly make the Sith Empire even more prosperous.”

Seeing that Irene cleverly didn’t admit any relationship with the prince, Arlan couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow with a teasing smile. However, her next words carried a bit of a sting.

Not only did Irene’s smile freeze, but Ifia also felt annoyed. Why should someone as capable as Amelia become a virtuous assistant? She and Prince Carloy haven’t even started anything yet!

Even in the original plot, Amelia is not married! Moreover, judging by Amelia’s proficiency in handling political affairs now, even if she inherits the Duke’s title, there is absolutely no issue. There’s no need for her to have any involvement with the main characters.

Ifia, considering the two times she heard complaints from Prince Carloy, realized that, unlike his incompetence, as long as Amelia is unwilling to marry into the royal family, no one can force her. So, does Amelia want to or not…

Suddenly thinking about this, Ifia’s initially prepared retort was swallowed back, and for some reason, her mood rapidly became gloomy. She walked with a heavy heart, absentmindedly kicking the roadside stones.

[System, did the prince propose the annulment in the original plot?]

[Host, under normal circumstances, I cannot provide any information about the original plot]

The system was also helpless. In reality, even if it told the host, it wouldn’t be a big deal. After all, there were no restrictions on the host’s actions and speech. Even overturning the plot in the book wouldn’t matter. In the hundreds of records of world collapses, although those systems and hosts died, they almost turned the world’s plot into a farce.

For example, seducing the female lead, turning the male lead into a minotaur. Or getting both the male and female leads under control. There’s also scenarios where the matchmaker introduces the female lead to the male lead’s father, making her a stepmother… In short, some altered plots make the system feel suffocated.

Like the host it’s bound to, who only follows the route of capturing the villainess, completely disregarding the emotions between the male and female leads… You could say it’s a unique case. Because other hosts who wanted to capture the villainess were killed before they even started, without any chance.

As for why not inform the host of the original plot… Well, in the original plot, the male and female leads are like tools, and their love serves as the starting point. Through their perspective, the destruction of one country becomes clear, and then it happens to other countries as well. Eventually, they discover that the villainess is the mastermind, leading to the world’s destruction.

And everything is intricately related to the villainess. Even if the host is not very smart, if they happen to be clever about the matters concerning the villainess, that would be troublesome!

The true identity and personality of the villainess, if they have to be exposed, it should be done by her herself. Otherwise, if the villainess finds out in the future, she will surely tear the system to pieces…

The system doesn’t want to carry that burden! So, just to be safe, the reason for not revealing the original plot is that it cannot be disclosed. Cut it off directly, simple and worry-free!

The above is a summary of the system’s analysis of hundreds of crash records and conclusions drawn from the principle of “the villainess seeks revenge.” Compared to unfortunate counterparts who have already perished, the system believes it still has a chance!

Successfully clearing this world and obtaining the promised reward from the main god, becoming the Grand Supervisor! The previous systems and hosts had chosen the wrong entry point, thinking that the male and female leads were the chosen ones, so they wasted efforts on these two individuals… It was a complete waste of time, as the true chosen one is another person entirely. It’s the villainess!

The last time the system heard the villainess speak the truth on the dragon’s back, it realized it had been deceived by the main god. This world was constructed for the villainess!

But, well… now, the host it is bound to has gained extremely high favor with the villainess. The future looks promising!

[Really, system, you’re not very humane. Can’t you see I’m feeling down right now}

[How about I play a song for the host to lift the mood? “Today is a Good Day” perhaps?]

[…Alright, you win. Enough with the kneeling!]

While Ifia was speechless, she was also afraid of being brainwashed by the song, so she quickly asked the system to step back.

At this moment, they arrived at the small chapel, and unlike the perfunctory reception they received earlier, the priests and nuns who arrived in advance were dressed neatly with serious expressions on their faces. Upon their arrival, they only gave a cold glance before immediately retracting their gaze, as if they might as well have “stay away” written on their faces. Only Austin, upon seeing them, offered a faint smile, but other than that, he kept his distance.

This indifferent treatment caused Jessica to roll her eyes. Mimicking the posture of the clergy, she directly made faces at Ifia and the others, entertaining Ifia, who couldn’t help but lift the corners of her mouth, quickly raising her hand to restrain Jessica.

The little rascal mustn’t act clever. Every day, there’s the fear that Jessica might get beaten by the church people!

“Welcome to the church for your internship, everyone. Let’s start assigning tasks,” said Archbishop Leila Mirabeau, holding a thick black-covered book as he walked into the small chapel without much preamble.

Upon hearing the work assignments, the originally solemn priests and nuns showed a change in expression, revealing anticipation in their eyes.

“Firstly, for the new interns without work experience, stay temporarily in the rear hall to handle some miscellaneous tasks. And…”

“Your Excellency, this arrangement is not reasonable. The front hall urgently needs manpower now!” Archbishop Mirabeau’s words were immediately interrupted, and he looked displeased. It seemed that it had been a long time since someone dared to openly contradict him. When he glanced at the person who spoke up, she saw that it was from the Kefid family. Facing this eccentric and unpredictable Marquis family, Mirabeau chose to silently suppress his anger.

If it weren’t for the crisis facing the church, requiring the support of these noble families, even the people from the Kefid family wouldn’t dare to act superior!

“Nornada, when you first came to the church, you also worked in the rear hall.”

“That’s correct, but the situation is different now, Your Excellency. We can’t even gather enough people for rotations, we’re on the verge of collapsing.”

The nun named Nornada had an ordinary face, appearing somewhat sharp due to her high cheekbones. She showed no fear when facing Archbishop Mirabeau, insisting on her point, “Please assign some manpower to the front hall, Your Excellency!”

In front of everyone, especially the curious eyes of the new interns, Mirabeau felt his forehead throbbing with irritation. Was she trying to teach him how to do his job?

“Nornada, the new interns are only here for ten days of work. After that, they’ll return to Pulis Academy… Just endure for a few more days, and everything will be resolved.”

“Endure for a few more days? Your Excellency, we can’t endure any longer. If there’s no additional manpower, we’ll have to take a break for a while.”

Faced with Mirabeau’s perfunctory response, Nornada’s subsequent words carried a hint of threat. For a moment, the two were at a stalemate, neither willing to back down.

Seeing that things were about to turn worse, Austin’s light and airy voice rang out, “If that’s the case, let’s draw lots!”
