A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 3] Chapter 8

[Vol. 3] Chapter 8: She’s a Great Admirer of Beauty!

What should come, will eventually come. Although it was Irene’s choice to have Prince Carloy feed her a large amount of sea cucumbers, the request was made by Ifia. Therefore, now that it’s Prince Carloy’s turn to make a request, Ifia doesn’t think she can easily bluff her way through.

After all, Prince Carloy is not a good person, and he is known to hold grudges and be selfish. Just by observing his demands regarding Andrea, one can see that this guy is particularly difficult to deal with. So, Ifia takes a deep breath and patiently awaits Prince Carloy’s move.

In fact, Ifia’s intuition is correct. Prince Carloy does not intend to let her off easily. Even though Prince Carloy and Ifia have had minimal interaction, having only coincidentally met a few times, each encounter allowed him to witness Amelia Barlen’s high regard for Ifia.

Apparently, Amelia Barlen has already considered Ifia a dear friend. Having suffered setbacks from Amelia all along, dealing with this humble commoner might offer some relief. By using Ifia to provoke Amelia Barlen, Prince Carloy hopes to make her angry. Since this is just a game, even if Amelia Barlen wants to get angry, she won’t find a suitable reason.

Thinking about this, Carloy’s mood lifts, and he can’t wait to make his request. As for what the request is…

“Kiss anyone present in the room.”

“Prince Carloy, your request is too outrageous!”

Just as Prince Carloy’s request was spoken, the expression on Andrea Marlo’s face darkened. Without considering his status, Andrea stood up from his seat and angrily rebuked. Due to Andrea’s status as a Count, he often attended various events hosted by the royal family, and he was acquainted with Prince Carloy.

People whispered in hushed tones, suggesting that Prince Carloy was not as good as Amelia Barlen. Even if he were to inherit the throne in the future, he would be a mediocre ruler. Some even argued that it would be better to let Amelia Barlen inherit the throne. As a Duke’s heir, Amelia Barlen had the right to contend for the throne.

However, Andrea disagreed with the opinions circulating among the people. He had met the only heir of the Barlen family, Amelia Barlen. His first impression was of an elegant and composed lady. She possessed a distinguished family background and extraordinary abilities, shining brightly wherever she went.

Despite what people were saying, Andrea did not approve of the idea that Amelia Barlen was less deserving. To him, she was an elegant and calm beauty with a prestigious family background and extraordinary abilities, making her a dazzling presence wherever she went.

However, once his gaze met her abyss-like purple eyes, Andrea felt a terrifying sensation as if he were plummeting into hell, with his very soul screaming for escape. Andrea had an extremely keen sixth sense from a young age, and he believed that letting Amelia Barlen succeed to the throne might not be a good thing. It could potentially subject the Sith Empire to unimaginable crises.

Even if Prince Carloy were incompetent and mediocre, he wouldn’t bring such catastrophic consequences to the Sith Empire. However, hearing Prince Carloy disrespecting women in this way made Andrea deeply question his previous thoughts—whether he had been too hasty in his judgment.

The request made to him, compared to the more outrageous demand Prince Carloy made to Ifia, seemed even more excessive. Even though Ifia was just a commoner, she deserved the proper respect, especially considering how adorable she was. It angered Andrea more and more as he thought about it, and if he had a longsword in hand, he might have challenged Prince Carloy to a duel, teaching him the importance of respecting women.

When Prince Carloy heard Andrea’s accusation, his smile remained unchanged on his face, but his blue eyes stared at Andrea as if infused with poison. Just a Count, daring to publicly criticize him, a prince! Prince Carloy found his dislike for Andrea justified.

“Count Manlo, it’s just a game. There’s no need to take it so seriously.”

To maintain a gentle and courteous facade, Prince Carloy sighed lightly in resignation and then sensibly suggested that it was just a game, and if one couldn’t handle losing, they shouldn’t play. If you chose to play, then don’t complain. Complete the task or face the consequences—those were the options. As for Ifia, who had already used up her punishment chance in the truth or dare game, it was her own problem.

“Prince Carloy, your request disrespects women, and I strongly urge you to change it!”

However, Andrea didn’t buy into this, speaking of urging strongly but adopting a forceful attitude, seemingly determined to persist in this matter without compromise.

While Prince Carloy and Andrea were at odds, Ifia didn’t show the panic they might have expected. Instead, she thought silently, Is that all?

Clearly, she had thought of more outrageous requests, but Prince Carloy’s request for her to kiss anyone present wasn’t strict at all. She wasn’t afraid at all! However, to avoid any misunderstanding, she decided to ask for clarification carefully.

She couldn’t let others think she was a big pervert!

“Count Manlo, thank you very much for speaking up for me. However, let’s abide by the bet. Prince Carloy, regarding the kiss you proposed, does it mean a kiss can be anywhere?” Ifia interrupted the confrontation between Prince Carloy and Andrea, appearing to compromise and accept this seemingly excessive request.

This made Prince Carloy glance triumphantly at Andrea. After seeing Andrea’s stern expression, he then clarified his request, “Of course, it’s limited to the contact between lips.”

In Prince Carloy’s plan, Ifia’s first choice would be him! After all, which commoner girl wouldn’t want to rise above their station, transcending classes through love and engagement? Just like Irene.

However, if Ifia lacked courage, being a commoner wouldn’t dare to offend a prince, so her next best choice might be Andrea. Or perhaps, out of fear of the Count’s status, she might choose the common crew members. Regardless of her choice, it would allow Amelia Barlen to witness her good friend being humiliated, just thinking about it pleased Prince Carloy greatly.

Even if Amelia Barlen was outstanding, at this moment, she could only watch helplessly. Just thinking about Amelia Barlen’s face showing a humiliated expression excited Prince Carloy. However, when he looked at Amelia Barlen, he saw that she remained calm and composed.

There was no sign of urgency or concern from Amelia Barlen due to Ifia’s acceptance of the request. In fact, her cold purple eyes even showed a faint smile, as if she found something interesting. This unexpected reaction dampened Prince Carloy’s excited mood, and his face became noticeably gloomy. It seemed that Amelia Barlen was not as concerned about Ifia as he had thought. Well, Ifia was just a commoner, and it was unlikely that the stern Amelia Barlen would genuinely care about her.

“Okay,” After clarifying the request, Ifia secretly celebrated, realizing that she might have overthought the situation. The request was inherently bold. So, the brave girl took action without any reluctance. Before the kiss, she downed half a glass of orange juice with a few hearty gulps, ensuring the barbecue flavor wasn’t too strong. Then, she immediately raised her hand and embraced Amelia’s neck.

Amelia, in response to Ifia’s actions, lowered her head. Subsequently, much to everyone’s shock and bewilderment, Ifia initiated a very proactive kiss with Amelia.

Unlike the playful peck on the cheek from before, this time was different. It wasn’t a brief touch that lasted only a second. Because it was a game requirement, Ifia lingered long enough to clearly feel the softness of the lips, akin to the elasticity of a chewy candy. The sensation made her feel like biting into it. The thought of leaving teeth marks on Amelia’s red lips crossed her mind, and just thinking about it set her heart aflutter.

However, as Ifia was on the verge of putting her thoughts into action, she promptly remembered that this was just a game. She quickly suppressed the inappropriate idea, reluctantly stood up, and left. Looking back at Amelia, her purple eyes seemed to introduce a pool of clear water. A gentle breeze stirred, causing ripples, and those soft, glossy lips appeared to entice another kiss.

Oh, it was so tempting! Ifia forced herself not to gaze at the alluring Amelia and then, with a provocative smile on her face, addressed Prince Carloy, “My task is completed~.”

Clearly, no one in the room expected Ifia to make such a choice! After all, according to conventional thinking, it was assumed that Ifia would choose someone of the opposite gender. Even if she chose a same-sex friend to fulfill the requirement, it wouldn’t be expected to be Amelia Barlen. It was like anticipating an easy difficulty level, only to find herself opting for the difficulty of hell right from the start!

Unimaginable.

Beside her, Jessica raised her thumb, excitement shimmering in her reddish-brown eyes as she clapped her hands together in amazement.

Ifia was the first person in the Sith Empire to kiss Miss Barlen!

What a brave move!

Perhaps the shock brought by Ifia was so impactful that people were still in a daze even after the bottle, guided by her hand, came to a stop.

Isabella, watching the bottle pointing directly at her, glanced at Jessica sitting across from her. She smiled helplessly, anticipating Jessica’s request. Jessica, still not fully recovered from the shock brought by her friend, made a somewhat casual request. Isabella had to shout to the sea, “My ailment is cured!”

This wasn’t a challenging task. As long as she could muster the courage to face it.

However, for Isabella, it was something she couldn’t bring herself to do! Therefore, Isabella, with a sense of tragic determination, lifted a giant beer mug and drank it down ‘ton ton ton.’

After finishing the beer, Isabella’s cheeks immediately turned rosy, and her gaze became hazy, indicating that her tolerance for alcohol wasn’t great. Nevertheless, she persisted in spinning the bottle, and the next person it pointed to was Jessica!

Jessica looked up to see Austin smiling at her. She quickly snapped out of her daze at this moment. Oh no! Why was it Austin sitting across from her again!

Now, just seeing Austin smile made her feel uneasy in her heart!

“Let’s have Jessica dance to liven things up!”

However, compared to before, Austin’s request now was like that of an angel!

Jessica wasn’t someone with a thin skin like Isabella. Without a second thought, she got up from her seat and started a lively sparrow dance. Her footwork followed a precise rhythm, and her body movements were filled with passionate dance. Combined with her lively and cute expression, the atmosphere in the room suddenly ignited, sweeping away the previous awkwardness.

However, as Jessica finished her dance and, panting, spun the bottle, it seemed like the gears of fate were also in motion.

It continued until the bottle pointed to Prince Carloy. On the other side of the bottle, Amelia Barlen couldn’t help but raise her lips, but her violet eyes were filled with fierceness, clearly intending to stand up for Ifia.

At this moment, everyone present knew that the prince was f’d up.
