A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 4] Chapter 27

[Vol. 4] Chapter 27: Respecting the Fate of Others

“Ifia, do you want to continue?”

“Of course, I personally participated, it would be a pity not to play once.”

Ifia’s current mindset is very stable. However, despite Amelia’s cooperation, Ifia’s uncoordinated body always seems to have some small accidents. It’s either swaying from side to side, unable to stand steadily, or almost falling forward due to too large strides…

However, Amelia is always there, ready to lend a helping hand in time. Ifia feels reassured, occasionally holding onto Amelia for support, various cuddles, and laughter, they reach the finish line playfully.

Joyful times are always short-lived. As the last group to arrive, Prince Carloy immediately jumps out to seek attention.

“Amelia Barlen, sometimes finding the right companion is very important, not because…”

Prince Carloy, feeling triumphant as the winner of this round, with an arrogant face that makes people want to punch him, especially when he blatantly belittles Ifia, causing her to roll her eyes directly.

After the first round of the sandbag game, with Amelia’s victory, she didn’t waste words on Prince Carloy.

Indeed, it’s always her Amelia who has the most grace, showing no emotions of joy or anger.

Calm and composed!

“Prince Carloy, your partner is injured.”

Amelia didn’t wait for Prince Carloy to continue speaking. She directly interrupted, her disdainful tone completely undisguised, as if a powerful person looking down on the weak. This attitude immediately darkened Prince Carloy’s expression.

His blue eyes filled with gloom, he glanced at Irene who hurriedly dropped her skirt to cover the wound. Prince Carloy finally closed his mouth.

Winning the game at the cost of his partner’s injury was not something to boast about, especially since Prince Carloy’s outward image was always that of a gentle gentleman, earning admiration and support from many women.

Naturally, he couldn’t ruin this crucial facade.

So, even though he won the victory this time, he chose to stay quiet, giving Prince Carloy a very stifled feeling.

“Amelia, you’re really amazing,” Ifia said, delighted to see Prince Carloy losing face.

It felt as refreshing as turning on the air conditioner in summer or eating ice cream in winter. She approached Amelia with a smiling face and complimented her.

Amelia didn’t respond verbally, just indulged in a smile and reached out to pat Ifia’s head.

Soon, the final game began – a guessing game with tacit understanding. Despite Irene’s injury earlier, Prince Carloy, who had blocked his mouth, still competed for the first place in everything. He rushed to participate in the game, giving Ifia a chance to observe and see how the game was played.

The game rules are very simple. Without making any sound, as long as you can understand the meaning expressed by your partner through body language and guess the word correctly, it’s a victory.

There are a total of ten words. During the game, the stall owner on the side provides reminders and a fixed range of words.

As the first group of participants, Irene expresses while Prince Carloy guesses the words. After the stall owner vigorously banged the iron plate to signal the start of the game, Irene received the word card and looked at the first card with the word “sun” written on it.

After thinking for a moment, she first pointed her finger towards the sky, directly at the sun. Then hesitantly, she pointed her finger towards Prince Carloy. When she withdrew her hand, Irene pressed against her chest and revealed a shy expression on her face.

At this moment, the stall owner also spoke up to give a clue, “A word related to weather and temperature.”

“The sun.”

Irene’s shy expression, expressing her feelings, softened the coldness between Prince Carloy’s brows. The annoyance he felt due to Irene’s injury gradually faded away.

Although Irene was not a talented genius and her appearance was not outstanding, she won by being obedient and not defiant, which was a good tool.

Their usual interactions are comfortable, and until his engagement with Amelia Barlen was dissolved, there was still utility in maintaining the relationship, with no need to discard and find someone else over trivial matters.

Seeing the coldness in Prince Carloy’s blue eyes diminish, Irene immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She had worked hard to obtain the opportunity to stand openly by Prince Carloy’s side and couldn’t afford to lose it. Regardless of who it is, nobody can hinder her from heading towards a bright future!

“This contestant, are you sure the correct answer is ‘sun’?”

“Sure.”

“Congratulations, correct answer. Let’s move on to the next one.”

With the first victory, coupled with the rumored romance between Prince Carloy and the commoner student Irene, now it seems that some clues can be seen. This immediately excited the onlookers.

One by one, they widened their eyes, watching the arena, hoping for more gossip.

“Look, look! I knew it. Those rumors weren’t baseless.”

“What is Prince Carloy thinking? Irene looks ordinary and her academic performance is not outstanding. No matter how you look at it, she seems like the type you easily find in a crowd.”

“Well, different strokes for different folks. Maybe Prince Carloy just likes that type.”

“Miss Barlen’s friend Ifia, also with black hair and black eyes, very attractive, looks like a cute doll, and she always ranks first in the class in every monthly exam. Comparing the two, Miss Barlen has good taste!”

While the guessing game was in full swing, Ifia couldn’t be bothered to watch the main couple show affection in public.

Too cheesy.

Besides, the female lead Irene was way too submissive in front of Prince Carloy, wasn’t she?

In the previous three-legged game where they got injured, instead of waiting for Prince Carloy to show concern and sympathy, she was overly attentive and acting coquettish. Even if they end up together in the future, it will be an unequal relationship.

As for the romantic issues between the main characters, Ifia has no intention of getting involved.

She would rather lie down and sleep during her free time. At least, through sleep, her body and mind can relax.

They were willing to fight and endure, what was the point of her getting involved in their affairs? Letting go of the savior role, she respected others’ destinies. It was better to seriously think about how to win this game!

Prince Carloy had set the rules for the gambling game as the best of three rounds, and now both sides were tied. The crucial factor lay in the victory or defeat of the current game, determining the outcome of the gamble.

Ifia believed that with Amelia’s cleverness, whether in expression or guessing, she could easily handle it… provided that, as her companion, Ifia could contribute a bit.

If the system was not afraid of the villainess, it could even cheat directly, similar to exams.

However, the system has been silent all day today, probably pretending to be dead. So, I have to rely on myself!

Ifia sighed lightly. When she was seriously thinking, she subconsciously tugged at her clothes, and her fingertips touched something hard.

When Ifia looked down, she saw the pocket watch she had impulsively brought with her this morning, now hanging as a decoration at her waist, enhancing the glamorous vampire image.

Opening the pocket watch, a round blue gem inside revealed itself – the precious “Tears of Truth” from the merfolk.

Activating the ‘Tears of Truth’ allows one to hear the thoughts of others, but it cannot penetrate Amelia’s tough emotional walls. In fact, it may even backfire if Amelia hears Ifia’s thoughts.

Wait a minute, she came up with a plan!!!
