A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 4] Chapter 18

[Vol. 4] Chapter 18: Giving the Best to Amelia!

Ever since hearing about the academy celebration, Ifia couldn’t sit still, wishing for time to fast forward to two days later.

When the long-awaited afternoon school dismissal finally arrived, led by Jessica, Ifia took her meticulously drawn designs and headed to the clothing store.

After much gesturing and discussion with the shop owner, they finally achieved a result that satisfied Ifia.

Having opted for expedited processing, Ifia, currently flush with money, subtly hinted that if the customized costumes met her expectations in terms of quality and style, a generous tip would be in order.

The two character costumes, aside from being made with the finest fabrics, required the use of gold and silver threads, as well as the incorporation of some scattered diamond gemstones to enhance their extravagance.

Ifia wanted to give the best to Amelia!

While Jessica, who was waiting, had already informed the shop about the custom costumes in advance, she was merely accompanying Ifia this time.

After Ifia finished instructing the shopkeeper, the two left the clothing store. It was only then that Jessica, who wore a bewildered expression throughout the entire process, finally snapped out of it and immediately voiced her curiosity.

“Ifia, are you sure Miss Barlen will agree to wear these clothes for the academy celebration?”

Although Ifia playing the role of a vampire was somewhat contrasting, a 1.6-meter vampire… well, it was adorable.

However, the thought of Miss Barlen dressed as an angel is entirely unimaginable!

It’s not that Miss Barlen isn’t suitable. After all, she’s outstanding in appearance, and anything she wears looks amazing.

However, judging by her personal demeanor, Miss Barlen is more fitting in a demonic outfit. The aloof and powerful Miss Barlen, transformed into a dominant demon, would undoubtedly impress the entire Pulis Academy!

Moreover, the most crucial point is that Jessica has never seen Miss Barlen wearing white clothes since she started paying attention to her!

The essence of an angel costume is a white dress, with some accessories as embellishments. Therefore, Jessica is somewhat worried that Miss Barlen will refuse.

However, in response to her friend’s doubts, Ifia proudly lifted her head and then playfully said, “Jessica, you should know that where there’s a will, there’s a way!”

Ifia is not worried about failure at all. If Amelia doesn’t agree, she’ll act coquettish to persuade her as usual hehehe.

When Jessica heard Ifia’s words, her expression became complex. She couldn’t help but raise her thumb, thinking that this is indeed a true warrior!

As soon as Jessica thought of Miss Barlen’s indifferent face, she felt that even if she were given a hundred more courage, she wouldn’t dare to pull the tiger’s whiskers.

“The results will be out tomorrow, wait for my good news~”

After coming out of the clothing store, Ifia was in a hurry to convince Amelia, so she didn’t go shopping with Jessica. After waving goodbye, she immediately took a carriage back to Pulis Academy.

Now that she had money, Ifia wouldn’t treat herself unfairly, she would indulge in laziness when needed.

However, unlike the carriages exclusive to nobles, the rented carriage couldn’t enter the academy. It had to stop at the school gate. Fortunately, the distance to Amelia’s private residence wasn’t far, and Ifia briskly walked there.

Upon reaching the entrance of the villa, she coincidentally met the butler Heber.

Seeing Ifia, he respectfully bowed and immediately provided the information Ifia wanted, “Miss Barlen is working in the study room.”

“Butler Heber, thank you for letting me know.”

“No need to be polite.”

Butler Heber looked at the girl’s joyful figure, fluttering like a butterfly, and couldn’t help but feel emotional. Who would have thought that Ifia, a commoner, would be so favored by the Duke’s daughter!

The incident of presenting the entire set of Xero Blood Diamond jewelry a couple of days ago was known to all the maids and servants in the villa.

Originally, due to the Duke’s daughter’s attitude towards Ifia, no one dared to underestimate her. Now, they were even more cautious, fearing that angering Ifia would bring great misfortune upon themselves.

However, Ifia’s personality is cheerful and approachable. She lacks the arrogance of the nobles and the timidity of the commoners, giving people a sense of equality.

Therefore, there isn’t much pressure when interacting with her on a regular basis. No wonder Miss Barlen likes her so much, probably no one could dislike the lovely Miss Ifia.

Butler Heber withdrew his gaze, continued walking outside, and being shrewd, he had guessed some things from the beginning. Therefore, he steadfastly maintained a friendly attitude towards Ifia.

He did not look down upon her due to her commoner status. Later on, he naturally secured his position as the butler, and life became even more comfortable.

It goes to show, standing in the right place brings immense benefits!

Unaware of Butler Heber’s thoughts, Ifia adeptly made her way to the study room. As soon as she pushed open the door, she noticed that today, Amelia wasn’t immersed in work.

Instead, she was sitting at the desk, one hand supporting her face, gazing absentmindedly out the window.

Silver hair fluttered in the wind, a few mischievous strands were tousled, occasionally obstructing her view, making it unclear what expression she had.

Huh?

Amelia was daydreaming!

In Ifia’s mind, Amelia was diligent and meticulous in her work. Even when she playfully teased and coaxed her before, it never interfered with her work. She simply accelerated the progress silently.

Now, with a pile of folders placed beside her and documents in front, but she wasn’t immediately dealing with them.

This isn’t normal!

Ifia approached with confusion, then raised her hand and tapped on the desk to create some noise, bringing Amelia back to reality.

“Amelia, what are you thinking about?”

Ever since Ifia entered through the door, Amelia had already known about her arrival. However, the subsequent steps to repair the fragmented soul, as learned from Saint Tiffany, were giving Amelia a headache.

The Lint Fruit in the Dark Forest of the Taric Kingdom was just the simplest of the special materials.

The other two, one being the Holy Lotus on the Holy Mountain of the Holy See and the other being the Misfortune Vine in the Dark Swamp, could both be found in the Sith Empire without the need to waste time in other countries.

With Amelia’s abilities, even if it’s dangerous, it’s not much of a challenge for her. However, the trouble with these two materials isn’t obtaining them but requires special nurturing.

For instance, the Holy Lotus from the Holy Mountain must be personally picked by someone with a pure soul, and then carried with them for a week to be considered successfully nurtured.

There are some side effects during the time carrying the Holy Lotus. The side effects of the Misfortune Vine are even more…

Just thinking about it gives a headache.

“It’s just some work-related challenges. Why did you come so early today? Did something happen?”

Facing Ifia’s curious gaze, Amelia calmly shifted the topic, causing Ifia to immediately remember her purpose for coming.

Ifia completely didn’t understand Amelia’s work, so she couldn’t offer any assistance. However, she could provide some comfort and help Amelia relax.

With this in mind, Ifia enthusiastically, almost obsequiously, ran behind Amelia. She raised her hand and massaged Amelia’s temples and forehead, attempting to ease the tension, and tentatively threw out a topic.

“Amelia, do you know about the Pulis Academy’s celebration? It’s starting the day after tomorrow!”

“Is it starting so early this year?”

Amelia leaned back, adopting a more comfortable and relaxed posture. She closed her eyes, enjoying Ifia’s service, and spoke with an evident smile on her face. Her gentle demeanor made Ifia feel at ease, and she decided to seize the opportunity.

“The unique role-playing during the celebration is very interesting. After learning about this, Jessica and I went to a costume shop to customize special outfits. I also ordered a set for you, Amelia!”

“So?”

“Amelia, do you want to join the celebration activities with me?”

At this point, Ifia stopped the obsequious massage and instead slid down into a crouch, starting to hug her own thighs. Without hesitation, she placed her chin on her knees, adopting a pitiful appearance.

With widened almond eyes and hands embracing her shins, Ifia looked up and deliberately omitted some information, not specifying what kind of costume it was.

She began to shake as if being coquettish, “Can you, Amelia?”

“Sure.”

Amelia smiled and reached out to pat Ifia’s head. She couldn’t help but indulge Ifia, liking her in this state. What else could she do but continue to spoil her?

After getting Amelia’s nod, Ifia immediately beamed with joy.

Her happy mood lasted the entire day, and then, in the blink of an eye, two days passed in great anticipation.

Today was the day, the celebration activities officially began!
