A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 4] Chapter 36

[Vol. 4] Chapter 36: It’s Quite Peculiar

Ifia thought about what Amelia might want her to do. Perhaps a full-body massage as a punishment for her audacity, or undressing again to pose as a model…

In any case, it wouldn’t involve going up the mountain to pick flowers! Is Amelia teasing her again? Just after experiencing a reverse scenario, Ifia didn’t immediately respond but instead looked at Amelia with suspicion.

With a cute expression like a wary little animal raising its ears, Amelia couldn’t help but reach up and ruffle her black hair.

She then took the initiative to explain, “A few days ago, I happened to meet Tiffany, the saint of the church. Due to her busy schedule, she entrusted me to go to the Holy Mountain, Mount Scalarase, to pick a lotus flower for her and then give it to her.”

Compared to Ifia’s nervousness when lying, Amelia’s lie came effortlessly. Especially with her serious demeanor, there was no hint of falsehood, making it convincing.

Upon hearing the words “Saint Tiffany,” Ifia, who initially didn’t believe, immediately wavered.

However, she still didn’t understand why the Saint would entrust this task to Amelia. It’s quite peculiar!

After all, besides dealing with daily affairs, Amelia had become a candidate for the throne, making her even busier! Letting such a busy person go and pick…

Since there were doubts in her mind, Ifia didn’t hide them and directly asked, “But, Amelia, aren’t you very busy? Do you have time for this?”

“Of course,” Amelia smiled and then turned around to pick up the black cloak neatly folded on the chair. With a casual toss, as it unfolded into a semicircle, she smoothly draped it back over Ifia’s shoulders.

As she lifted her hand to fasten the concealed clasp, she half-truthfully explained, “Since returning to the Sith Empire, my intention to compete for the next throne has stirred up various factions within the noble families. They have been eager for me to become a candidate for a long time, and now that I’ve officially become one, they are making all sorts of desperate moves to secure positions of power.”

“Indeed, ever since I declared my candidacy, the competition to win the favor of the future ruler has become intense, with each family using every means possible. It’s truly annoying.”

Contrary to Ifia’s expectations, she thought Amelia would be troubled by opposing forces. However, in reality, it was quite the opposite. It seems having too much charm and too many followers isn’t always a good thing. Prince Carloy probably doesn’t have such troubles.

“If it were just some less outrageous means, I could turn a blind eye and let it slide. However, a few days ago, during a small gathering, someone put drugs in my drink and sent a… woman as a special ‘gift.'”

While Ifia was silently teasing Amelia in her mind, suddenly hearing the word ‘drug’ made the smile on her face disappear rapidly. Her eyes widened in shock, not expecting that someone would dare to treat Amelia in such a way.

This was outrageous!

Moreover, why didn’t Amelia tell her about such a significant incident? A woman sent as a ‘gift’ must be a stunning beauty!

Hmph!

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. Suppressing her worries quickly, a blazing anger burned within Ifia.

The shock and accusation in Ifia’s eyes were evident, and her puffed-up cheeks displayed clear signs of anger. Amelia, feeling helpless, had to explain, “I refused immediately and left the table. I found the noble who put drugs in the drink and delivered punishment.”

Originally, Amelia thought Ifia would sympathize with her, but unexpectedly, Ifia felt a pang of jealousy, making Amelia lift a metaphorical stone only to drop it on her own foot. Instead of sympathy, Ifia tasted a bit of sourness.

Amelia, however, did not lie about the experience. It did happen just a few days ago, and she would not be lenient with those who make careless decisions.

Even if the other party was a supporter, Amelia’s decisive and ruthless methods for dealing with trouble were not concealed. The effect of using a strong method to warn the others was outstanding.

The sharks who had flocked like they smelled blood in the sea now became obedient and subdued. Even if there were still some minor disputes, they dared not bring them before Amelia.

Compared to Prince Carloy, who seemed somewhat weak and incapable, Amelia Barlen had the fierceness of an upper-class figure. Her powerful aura made people hesitant to peek.

She was undoubtedly the most suitable person to ascend the throne. However, precisely because of Amelia Barlen’s own strength, those families supporting Prince Carloy had some different thoughts.

Aside from the traditionalists who believed in the greater chances of success with the hereditary royal line, many others thought that Prince Carloy, who appeared less forceful than Amelia Barlen, could bring them more benefits.

Even if it was just a little, it was better than nothing. However, due to Amelia Barlen’s strength, they shouldn’t harbor any delusions of controlling her.

Therefore, those families supporting Prince Carloy had some unique ideas. After Amelia explained and Ifia saw that she had left the table directly, the initial anger gradually faded, and she finally let go of her concerns.

Continuing immediately, she said, “I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to worry. After all, it involves quite a bit… Later, I happened to meet Saint Tiffany and, with the idea of relaxing a bit, I agreed to her request.”

Amelia’s words seamlessly connected the beginning and the end, sounding very natural. Ifia nodded in understanding, and all her previous doubts were dispelled.

Instead of thinking about underhanded methods, these nobles should focus on their work and strive to showcase their true abilities to stand out.

In fact, when Ifia heard that Amelia had immediately rejected the ‘gift,’ she had already let go of her anger. After all, Amelia was also a victim, and Ifia was more concerned for her than anything. How could she get angry with her?

So, Ifia, like a soft, oversized doll, directly nestled into Amelia’s arms, lifting her hand to hold her slender waist.

Ifia rubbed her cheek against Amelia’s arm and comforted her, “Those guys are too bad. It’s good to go out and relax. I can take a few days off in the next few days and be with you all the time.”

Listening to Ifia’s comforting words, Amelia couldn’t help but smile.

She raised her hand to gently stroke Ifia’s fluffy black hair. On her overly glamorous face, there was a hint of interest, and her purple eyes flickered with a subtle glow.

Silently contemplating the cruel methods she would use to torment the other, she should be the worst one.

However, in front of Ifia, she could always be the gentle Amelia.

“No rush. The Holy Mountain of the Holy See is not too far from Darwa City. You spent a lot of energy preparing for today’s celebration. Rest well for a day, and we’ll set off the day after tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

After Amelia helped Ifia tidy up her appearance, the downstairs bonfire event was coming to an end. The two turned and left the rooftop, returning to the crowd.

The celebration was still lively, but having played to their hearts’ content, Ifia decided to return with the spoils of the academy celebration games and rest at Amelia’s house.

Having fun was quite exhausting, especially dealing with the unexpected plot twist against the fallen angel. Ifia felt that her brain was starting to ache from the rapid mental exertion.

As for why she didn’t return to the dormitory…

Well, in a state of special fatigue, leaving a well-equipped small villa untouched and choosing to stay in the dormitory was just brainless! Ifia knew how to enjoy herself!

However, Ifia originally planned to rest for just one night, and afterwards, she would return to the dormitory to pack. Unexpectedly, Amelia had everything prepared, including Ifia’s belongings. It was a grab-and-go situation.

Ifia, who loved lounging around, didn’t refuse. For a lazy person, Amelia was an angel!

However, just as Ifia was lying down and enjoying herself in the villa, she suddenly received a letter.
