A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 3] Chapter 9
[Vol. 3] Chapter 9: Just a Game
Despite Prince Carloy’s requests, which were carried out by Ifia and greatly pleased Amelia, it doesn’t offset the initial malice from the prince.
Prince Carloy targeted Ifia due to resentment towards her. However, if Ifia’s affection for her is not high, and she is in a dilemma while sailing at sea, she might truly choose someone else…
The thought of this possibility makes Amelia uneasy, and she looks at Prince Carloy with an even colder gaze. Since Prince Carloy enjoys intimate contact so much, it’s time to reciprocate in kind!
Amelia doesn’t hide her malice, which causes Prince Carloy to subconsciously furrow his brow. He inwardly curses his bad luck and starts worrying about Amelia Barlen’s retaliatory strikes. If it were someone else, he wouldn’t be this concerned. After all, his prince status is not easily toyed with.
Even Andrea, who almost clashed with him earlier and holds the title of Count, wouldn’t dare make excessive demands due to their class differences. However, with Amelia Barlen, it’s a different story. This woman is difficult to deal with.
Moreover, sometimes her behavior is extremely aggressive. Just as arrogant and disrespectful as Duke Barlen, showing complete disdain for the royal family’s authority.
“Oh-ho!”
Unlike Amelia and Prince Carloy, others are just watching the spectacle for entertainment. Jessica, especially, widens her eyes in gossip, resembling a curious piglet running around a melon field. With an expectant smile on her face, she nudges Ifia’s arm with her elbow.
Whispering with a smirk, she says, “Ifia, it’s like a famous saying from a mysterious Eastern kingdom: ‘Fortunes change with the wind!’ Prince Carloy’s request before was quite uncomfortable to hear. It lacks the gentlemanly qualities of a noble. I hope Miss Barlen can teach him a lesson!”
Hearing Jessica’s words, Ifia nods in agreement. Amelia will surely seek revenge for her!
While the two of them exchange whispered words, Austin raises an interested eyebrow, realizing that this game has become even more intriguing.
Amidst everyone’s anticipation, Amelia doesn’t waste any time and straightforwardly makes her demand.
“A three-minute passionate kiss with any male crew member.”
“!”
While Amelia spoke, her expression remained as cold as ever, but Prince Carloy suddenly stood up, glaring at her in anger. Although he had already guessed that the request would be excessive, Prince Carloy did not expect it to be this outrageous!
Asking him, a noble prince, to kiss a male commoner crew member! If he really did it today, he would completely lose face. After all, besides the eight of them, there were many onlookers not far away, including some older nobles.
“Miss Barlen, having His Highness, the prince, engage in intimacy with a member of the same sex is not good for his image. Can it be with someone of the opposite sex instead?” In the midst of Prince Carloy’s anger, Irene, who was sitting beside them, suddenly spoke. She had a fearful expression on her face but spoke firmly, completely siding with Prince Carloy.
Even in front of the noble Duke’s daughter, she did not back down due to her commoner status. This unexpected support from Irene pleased Prince Carloy, but on the other hand, Amelia did not pay much attention to her.
“Prince Carloy, my request will not change. After all, it’s just a game like you said before, no need to take it so seriously,” Amelia said with a hint of irony.
Simply restating Prince Carloy’s earlier words had an explosive effect, almost causing Prince Carloy to lose his composure and burst into a public tirade. However, considering his status and the gaze of the surrounding people, Prince Carloy forcibly suppressed his anger, maintaining a strained smile. Through gritted teeth, he spoke, “Amelia Barlen, your request is inappropriate.”
“Inappropriate? Not half as much as you are,” Amelia did not back down in the face of Prince Carloy’s anger. Instead, she smiled at him, and the pleasure between her eyebrows and eyes was evident. Her expression seemed to say “serves you right.”
As Prince Carloy was about to say something else, the next second, a hint of red flashed in Amelia’s violet eyes. Prince Carloy, still wearing an angry expression, met her gaze, but in the next moment, Amelia’s body seemed to have autonomy, and she raised her foot, leaving her seat and walking towards the crew members who were watching not far away.
In just a short distance, the expression on Prince Carloy’s face gradually disappeared. His blue eyes stared blankly ahead. The next moment, without saying a word, he reached out and pulled a male crew member toward him, lowering his head for a kiss!
The passionate kiss was so intense that it left onlookers in disbelief.
“Oh… my… goodness, did Prince Carloy really kiss?”
“He truly is His Highness the prince, willing to take risks. That’s some courage!”
Jessica and Ifia, sitting together, were utterly shocked, chattering away. Being able to witness such a sensational event was incredibly fortunate for them! Not only the two of them but everyone else also wore expressions of confusion, looking at the direction where Prince Carloy was, feeling a surreal sense of absurdity.
“What is Prince Carloy doing? Does he really not care about his image?”
Austin was especially regretful that she couldn’t be the one to write this story. Otherwise, it would explode in the news industry of Darwa City, becoming the hottest topic!
Irene, who had just defended Prince Carloy, covered her mouth with her hand, hiding her surprised expression. At the same time, it concealed the rapidly changing sinister look on her face. She didn’t expect such a good opportunity to be given to a man. If Prince Carloy had reluctantly kissed her under duress, she could have used it to build a better relationship, rather than just watching it unfold as it was happening now.
The other seven people at the barbecue table were also shocked, not to mention the onlookers nearby.
The crew members were at a loss when they saw their less-than-handsome colleague forcefully kissed by His Highness the prince. They didn’t know how to react – intervening to pull Prince Carloy away would be disrespectful to the noble. However, witnessing a colleague being kissed by a man felt equally uncomfortable.
“The royal family members are really shameless!”
“We thought Prince Carloy was modest and polite, but he has such strange preferences. It’s truly unexpected.”
“I don’t expect Prince Carloy to turn out to be gay?!”
“Oh? If Prince Carloy likes men, the plan for the royal family to form an alliance with the Barlen family would be difficult to carry out! Duke Tarolin Barlen treasures his only daughter a lot. He won’t let her suffer any grievances.”
“Amelia Barlen is also watching!”
Other nobles couldn’t help but comment. At this moment, they discovered that members of the Barlen family were on this ship, not on the separate ship exclusively for the Barlen family. Suddenly, the nobles who were speaking freely in the hall unconsciously shrunk their shoulders and decided to keep their mouths in check.
After Prince Carloy passionately kissed the man for three minutes, he regained control of his body. He released the man who had been struggling vigorously. His initially vacant eyes regained their luster, and at the same time, his consciousness rapidly returned.
Just as the three-minute passionate kiss seemed to play back in slow motion, Prince Carloy became acutely aware of what he had just done!!! In an instant, overwhelmed by anger, Prince Carloy could no longer endure and fainted.
Fortunately, there were many crew members nearby who quickly and clumsily caught Prince Carloy. After the person in charge appeared on the ship, they promptly arranged to send Prince Carloy back to his room for rest. As for the male crew member who had just been forcibly kissed, the person in charge compensated him generously.
With the situation reaching this point, it was a perfect conclusion. On the barbecue table side, there were still seven people left. Despite the absence of Prince Carloy, it didn’t affect things too much, and the adventurous game continued.
Now, only Austin and Amelia remained.
Andrea took over the bottle-spinning duty on behalf of Prince Carloy. As the bottle spun rapidly, Austin raised a white flag in advance, “Miss Barlen, please be gentle later!”
It’s no wonder Austin was so cautious. After all, Prince Carloy’s precedent was right in front of them. She didn’t want to follow in Prince Carloy’s footsteps! However, even after hearing Austin’s words, Amelia still did not respond, leaving Austin on edge as she watched the bottle slowly come to a stop. Then, with the bottle pointing towards herself and its base corresponding to Amelia Barlen.
Austin couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth. Faced with consecutive losses to Barlen Amelia Barlen, she felt helpless and could only accept the reality. She just hoped that Miss Barlen would go easy on her.
After winning against Austin, Amelia’s expression remained calm. She glanced at Ifia and Jessica, who were chatting and laughing, and a cold smile slowly crept onto her lips. A glint of cunning flashed in her beautiful violet eyes.
Immediately, she made her demand, “Among the six present, choose one person to spend the night with.”
Upon hearing this request, Austin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this wasn’t something difficult to handle. Austin put on an impeccable smile, quickly surveyed the surroundings, and soon made her choice, “I choose Jessica.”
“What?”
Jessica, who was mocking Prince Carloy with Ifia, looked stunned when she saw Austin choosing her. She lifted her head, her brownish-red eyes filled with confusion, seemingly asking why she was chosen.
Austin, however, didn’t provide an explanation. She just blinked at Jessica. This made Jessica shiver involuntarily, and later, she tearfully said to Ifia, “I feel like I won’t be able to sleep tonight.”
Austin left a strong impression on Jessica. Whether as an undercover agent in the church or as the leader of the Rachel family, she inspired a sense of awe that kept others at a respectful distance.
This is probably the difference between a lazy waste of space and a diligent elite!
Seeing this, Ifia thought for a moment and then suggested, “If all else fails, just drink. After getting drunk, you can sleep soundly until dawn!”
“That works! Ifia, accompany me for a drink.”
“No problem!”
Ifia didn’t refuse. The beer they had earlier had already made a few trips to the restroom, so this time, they opted for sweet grape wine that wouldn’t bloat their stomachs. Eating barbecue and drinking wine, they were having a super enjoyable time!
However, the cost of such enjoyment was the addition of two new alcohol enthusiasts.
“Drink, keep drinking! No one can leave today, we all have to drink ourselves to death here!”
“That’s right, Ifia, I’ll help you! Just hold her down, and I’ll pour the wine!”
As Ifia and Jessica, both laughing foolishly, tried to hold down the equally intoxicated Isabella to pour her more wine, Amelia timely intervened. She raised her hand and embraced Ifia, then addressed Austin and the others, “Ifia is drunk. I’ll take her back to rest.”
Amelia just informed them and, after speaking, immediately stood up and left with Ifia.
“I don’t want to leave, I want to keep drinking. All the alcohol is mine~”
However, Ifia, now quite unruly and struggling, with flushed cheeks and obvious signs of intoxication, even her footsteps were unsteady. Without Amelia’s support, she might have stumbled into the sea. Looking down at the little tipsy cat in her arms, Amelia smiled gently.
Now, it’s time to settle the score.
