A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 3] Chapter 12

[Vol. 3] Chapter 12: Avoidance, Though Shameful

How to face a good friend after acting indecent due to drunkenness? Urgent, waiting online!!!

In Ifia’s heart, a hundred wild horses galloped past, scenes of the previous night’s drunkenness flashed vividly in her mind, clear and unforgettable, making her wish to find a hole to hide in, avoiding the awkward situation.

Maybe, pretend to still be asleep?

Avoidance may be shameful, but it works!

With these thoughts in mind, Ifia continued to keep her eyes closed, attempting to deceive her way through.

However, her eyelids trembled rapidly with the movement of her eyeballs, a clear sign of someone pretending to be asleep but already awake.

Amelia, lying beside her, raised an eyebrow. She turned over to face Ifia directly. One hand propped up her cheek, and she wore a black silk nightgown that adhered snugly to her body. The deep V-neck revealed a tempting allure.

Recalling Ifia’s playful attempts in the bathroom the previous night, Amelia decided to try a similar move today.

As Ifia’s eyes rolled around, praying that pretending to sleep would fool Amelia, she suddenly felt her bare legs being touched by something.

In the absence of vision with closed eyes, the senses of smell and touch become particularly heightened and clear. With more contact, Ifia guessed that it was a round toe. With a teasing sensation of unknown meaning, it trailed up her calf, gently touching like feathers brushing by, creating an itch that made one’s heart burst into flames, wishing to quickly extinguish it with a hose.

However, extinguishing the fire was impossible, it could only burn more fiercely. Just the teasing of the toes wasn’t enough, as Amelia’s hands joined the battlefield. Her fingertips landed on Ifia’s collarbone, lightly tapping, and there was a clear threat of moving downward if there was no response.

With a double attack, no one could resist. Ifia surrendered obediently, opening her eyes. After getting drunk last night, she could act shamelessly, but not when she was sober!

“Good morning, Amelia!”

At the moment Ifia opened her eyes, Amelia had already withdrawn her actions of teasing her, but Ifia still felt an irresistible itch.

Whimpering.

If she had committed a crime, the law could punish her, not letting Amelia tempt her!

“Drank quite a bit last night, do you have a headache now?”

Rather than Ifia’s wandering thoughts, Amelia, seeing that she was no longer pretending to sleep, didn’t tease her further. Instead, she asked about her physical condition with concern.

Although she replenished Ifia’s soul origin to keep her physically healthy, humans are fragile and delicate beings that require careful protection.

“No big deal, just a bit of a headache.”

Seeing that Amelia didn’t bring up last night’s drinking, Ifia was happy to go along with it, whimpering about her headache, attempting to quickly move past the drunken incident. Perhaps due to their familiarity, Ifia felt only embarrassment about stripping off her clothes in her drunken antics last night, without any regret or disgust. If she truly resisted, she wouldn’t have accepted the mission.

After all, the missions were supposed to encourage mutual honesty. However, why did she always end up giving away something for free in every mission??? The kissing task was like that, and now, the mutual honesty task was the same!

“Feeling a bit better now?”

With a soft rustling sound, Amelia sat up, gently massaging Ifia’s forehead and temples to help alleviate the discomfort from the hangover. Ifia relaxed her furrowed brows, conveniently choosing to selectively forget the awkwardness from before. She just wanted to snuggle with the fragrant and soft Amelia.

As Ifia’s mind was buzzing with the thought of experiencing a lap pillow, Amelia, upon seeing her no longer groaning due to the headache, gently spoke words that weighed heavy on the atmosphere.

“Ifia, you were quite enthusiastic last night.”

Oh no, Amelia, let’s just forget about it!

Ifia instantly forgot about everything else, shifting her focus to figuring out how to divert Amelia’s attention away from this matter and salvage her precarious image. However, before Ifia could make assurances that she wouldn’t drink again, Amelia continued, “Last night, you were still in a drunken state, and to prevent forgetting, I need to say it seriously again.”

Pausing her massaging, Amelia let Ifia look up at her with confusion. Looking up at Amelia from below, even from this awkward angle, Amelia still looked outrageously beautiful! Especially those violet eyes, like precious gems, now reflecting only her face.

“Ifia, I will never dislike you, so there’s no need to worry or be afraid.”

Amelia smiled at Ifia, and as she spoke, she couldn’t resist raising her finger to playfully poke Ifia’s nose. Her affectionate words left Ifia momentarily stunned, then she quickly disregarded any shyness and leaped up, pouncing on Amelia.

After acting like a spoiled puppy and nuzzling against Amelia’s neck, Ifia lifted her face, her sparkling black eyes filled with immense gratitude.

“Amelia, you’re the best!”

Ah, encountering Amelia was truly a stroke of luck for her. Becoming friends with Amelia meant that her luck had multiplied tenfold. How could Amelia be so amazing?

With these thoughts, Ifia couldn’t help but wrap her arms around Amelia’s slender waist, continuing to hum and nuzzle. However, waking up late had led to her stomach’s protest. With a “growl,” Ifia froze.

Amelia chuckled lightly and patted Ifia’s head, saying, “Get up and freshen up quickly, let’s go have breakfast.”

Feeling the urgency due to her hungry stomach, Ifia didn’t continue with her antics and promptly got up to wash and change. Once everything was in order, Amelia, who had returned to her room for makeup and dressing, also came back. The two headed to the dining hall for a buffet breakfast.

After the encounter with the sea creature hitting the ship yesterday, the nobles on board seemed to have become noticeably more subdued. Especially upon discovering that Amelia Barlen was also on this ship, those aristocrats who had been arrogantly gossiping about the Barlen family dared not continue their chatter. Instead, they kept their mouths shut while staying on the ship.

No matter where she went, Amelia Barlen was the center of attention, causing Ifia, who stood by her side upon entering the hall, to immediately attract a wave of enthusiastic glances. The nobles discreetly and carefully observed Amelia Barlen, a woman renowned throughout the Sith Empire.

With an excessively beautiful face and a seemingly delicate body, it was easy for people to underestimate her, thinking of her as nothing more than a weak woman. However, in reality, this slender figure possessed astonishing power. Once, during a sparring session with the captain of the knight order, Amelia Barlen used a thin sword to render the captain’s broadsword helpless.

Her expertise extended beyond exceptional swordsmanship. Amelia Barlen’s strength was not to be underestimated. After the knight order captain’s defeat, some questioned whether it was due to the captain’s broadsword being too heavy, suggesting that even if she won, it was a fluke.

In response, Amelia Barlen picked up the fallen broadsword from the ground. The faces of ordinary people turned serious just by lifting the heavy weapon, but she dismissed it entirely. Later, she used the over a hundred-pound broadsword as if it were a thin sword.

Amelia Barlen didn’t speak in the face of skepticism. Instead, she silenced everyone with her actions. Whether it was a thin sword or a broadsword, both were effective because of her inherent strength. It was after the sparring session with the captain of the knight order that the nobles of the Sith Empire realized that Amelia Barlen of the Barlen family was more than just a beautiful face and an intelligent mind, she possessed formidable strength.

Her combat prowess is equally formidable! The members of the knight order who were humbled by her are even more fanatical in their admiration for Amelia Barlen. After all, within the knight order, strength is revered, and Amelia Barlen’s impressive abilities earn her the respect of the knights.

On the other hand, Prince Carloy, the next heir to the throne, appears particularly mediocre in comparison to Amelia Barlen. Despite joining the knight order now and hoping to gain the support of the knights, those knights show no interest in him and exhibit clear indifference.

Having experienced lavish feasts, they find the plain fare uninspiring. According to the wisdom of the mysterious Eastern kingdom, it’s like “producing jade and shining pearls”. Prince Carloy has lived under the shadow of Amelia Barlen’s aura since childhood, and it’s indeed a difficult position.

In this oppressive atmosphere where he’s fundamentally overshadowed, Prince Carloy has developed some lesser-known eccentricities, which is quite normal! The nobles cannot forget the explosive scene from last night when they witnessed Prince Carloy forcefully kissing a male crew member. It’s to the extent that, on the second day, they are still dazed and unsure if it was all a dream.

However, some busybodies went to inquire with Austin of the Rachel family to learn the specific details. Upon finding out that it was a punishment for losing a game, they were initially concerned about the royal lineage ending, but now they can breathe a sigh of relief.

However, following this, they furrowed their brows. Even though it was a punishment due to a game, Prince Carloy, as a member of the royal family, should pay attention to his own image. Given his status, he could have refused to complete the punishment, which would have been better than his current state of having his image tarnished.

From this perspective, the next king of the Sith Empire should not be limited to royal family members. For example, an heiress of the Barlen family could be suitable! Look at her calm demeanor and confident aura. She exudes the regal presence that is fitting for a ruler, no matter how you look at it!

“Amelia, why is everyone looking at you?”

Ifia closely followed behind Amelia. While choosing breakfast with a tray in hand, she couldn’t resist her curiosity and secretly approached Amelia, whispering in a low voice.

How to describe these gazes directed at her!

It’s probably like a troop of monkeys looking at the monkey king with anticipation…

Thinking about Amelia becoming the monkey king, Ifia couldn’t help but chuckle at her own imagination.

Amelia, however, lowered her head to look at Ifia, who was amusing herself. She helplessly raised her hand and pinched Ifia’s soft cheek. Amelia had already witnessed Ifia’s active imagination after she got drunk yesterday.

“Ignore them.”

Amelia was accustomed to the attention of others. Even when she was the Demon Lord, the demons were respectful in a similar way. Therefore, she didn’t find anything strange about the gazes. However, she felt a bit annoyed by the stares of these nobles interfering with her time with Ifia.

Let’s finish eating quickly and leave!

“Amelia Barlen, how dare you use cunning tricks against me!”

However, just as Amelia and Ifia had sat down, Prince Carloy approached angrily.
