A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 4] Chapter 9

[Vol. 4] Chapter 9: The Most Handsome Boy

Looking at the exquisite box, Ifia had a guess in her heart, but she didn’t say it out loud. She raised her hand and turned the silver lock on the side of the box.

With a “click,” the wooden box was directly lifted open.

In the next moment, a dazzling and brilliant light directly reflected, causing Ifia’s eyes to widen in shock.

This is…

“Amelia, th-this… this is too extravagant!”

Ifia instinctively raised her hand to cover the wooden box again. Then, she patted her chest to calm her pounding heart. She turned her head to look at Amelia and felt that this gift was too expensive!

It turned out to be a whole set of jewelry made with Xero Blood Diamonds!

Although Ifia was disappointed because Xero Blood Diamonds were not like the Demon’s Eye, the diamonds themselves were of extremely high value. This set of jewelry now used more than a dozen Xero Blood Diamonds.

Perhaps, it was even more than what the nobles of the Sith Empire had in total!

Such preciousness made Ifia feel uneasy and hesitant to accept.

However, after all, it was a gift from Amelia. It would be too bad to refuse it outright.

If Xero Blood Diamonds were directly given, Ifia could refuse by citing their excessive value. But now, after these blood diamonds had been crafted into a unique piece of jewelry, they carried Amelia’s feelings.

For a moment, Ifia was caught in a dilemma, tangled and conflicted.

Ah, Amelia was really spoiling her. If this continued, she might become arrogant!

While Ifia was contemplating, wanting to pull her hair in frustration, Amelia remained silent. Her eyebrows raised slightly, and a hint of cunning flashed in her purple eyes as she calmly observed the situation.

Ifia’s distressed expression was quite amusing!

For this special gift, Amelia had no burden at all. After all, she had mentioned it before obtaining these diamonds from the Xero Fleet.

These Xero Blood Diamonds all belonged to Ifia.

Now, she was just fulfilling her promise.

“Amelia, thank you for the gift, but…”

It wasn’t good to remain silent for too long, so despite her inner turmoil, Ifia spoke up. Just as she was contemplating how to get through this, a sudden inspiration struck. She immediately thought of a clever solution that would spare her from further dilemma.

So she quickly continued, “These diamonds are too valuable, and I don’t have a safe place to store them. Why don’t you keep them here? I’ll take them when I need them in the future!”

Ifia felt like quite the clever trickster!

By leaving the diamonds with Amelia, she wouldn’t have a significant psychological burden, and she could still enjoy the beauty of these stunning jewels. Plus, she wouldn’t have to worry about dealing with the awkward aftermath of refusing Amelia.

However, to avoid Amelia overthinking, Ifia added, “If they’re with me, I won’t sleep well at night, worrying every day that they might be stolen.”

This wasn’t a made-up lie by Ifia. She genuinely feared theft!

After saying this and seeing that Amelia hadn’t responded, Ifia immediately affectionately approached.

She reached out, grabbing Amelia’s arm, gently swaying it and leaning in close. Her round almond-shaped eyes blinked with pleading as her black pupils were filled with hope.

“Amelia, please, can you?”

To ensure the success of her plan, Ifia didn’t hesitate to sacrifice some modesty. She quickly pecked Amelia on the cheek. Seeing that Amelia remained indifferent, she continued pecking like a bird several times.

She was on the verge of lying down and rolling on the floor.

However, Amelia just calmly watched, offering no response. This made Ifia quietly grit her teeth and decide to turn the tables. Playing the victim, she said, “Amelia, these jewels can only be with you. Unless you don’t want me anymore, I…”

Before Ifia could finish her sentence, Amelia responded. She quickly lifted her index finger to Ifia’s lips, stopping the words yet to be spoken. Her enchanting face showed a helpless expression, unable to deal with this outspoken little troublemaker.

Originally, Amelia just wanted to see Ifia’s adorable and anxious appearance. However, it turned out that Ifia hit a nerve, and that feeling was truly unpleasant.

“Since Ifia wants to put it here, then let it be. But don’t say such things in the future. There is no such thing as ‘don’t want’… After all, I won’t let you off easily!”

Amelia nodded with a smile. However, as she spoke those last words, her expression became quite serious. She didn’t understand this unfamiliar feeling and she hated it.

Although she knew that Ifia was not being serious in saying that, her heart felt deeply pierced upon hearing Ifia utter those words. Even though she herself didn’t understand Ifia’s role in her life at the moment, she didn’t want Ifia to distance herself from her.

Yet, Ifia didn’t take those words to heart. She happily hugged Amelia’s arm.

Amelia treats her so well, only someone crazy would leave!

Seeing Ifia acting cute, Amelia’s expression gradually softened. She gently rubbed her head and then changed the topic.

“For Lady Chekov’s tea party, wear this set of jewelry! I’ll have the matching attire rushed by the tailor, ensuring that you’ll be the most dazzling star in the crowd.”

Upon hearing this, Ifia exclaimed in surprise. Imagining herself entering the scene wearing this set of jewelry with Xero Blood Diamonds, she could already envision the shocked and speechless expressions of the onlookers. Oh, thinking about it, it’s a bit thrilling!

If it were a normal tea party or gathering, Ifia might hesitate, but in the face of potential hostility, she had no qualms.

Hehe, at that time, Ifia would definitely be the most handsome boy. However, while she thought so, she also needed to remain modest.

So, Ifia said with a hint of insincerity, “Isn’t this a bit too flashy?”

“Participating in a war requires the best armor and weapons. Similarly, Lady Chekov’s tea party is a woman’s battlefield, and I will dress you up well, easily achieving victory.”

Amelia understood Ifia’s personality and knew that this little one had a discrepancy between her words and her true feelings. Nevertheless, she went along with it, making Ifia feel delighted.

Is this the joy of a pay-to-win player? Ifia loved it.

Later, since she had already decided to attend Lady Chekov’s tea party, Ifia gave Isabella a precise reply, assuring her that she would arrive at the venue on time.

Afterward, everything went back to normal – attending classes, playing with friends – and two days quickly passed.

“Ifia, do you really not need me to accompany you?”

“Well, Amelia, don’t worry. If I’m bullied, I’ll fight back fiercely!”

In order to make a stunning appearance at Lady Chekov’s tea party, Ifia spent the entire morning in the dressing room. Finally, she completed her makeup with great care, carefully holding the black dress train.

While talking to Amelia, her attention remained on the dress, extremely concerned about the embedded Xero Blood Diamonds falling off.

It has to be said that Amelia is incredibly extravagant. The Xero Blood Diamonds that others desperately sought were smashed by her and embedded, one by one, on this dress.

The black dress, with its cute and fluffy layers due to excessive fabric, already had expensive golden thread embroidery. Now, with the addition of Xero Blood Diamonds, it exuded a wealthy and luxurious aura from inside out.

As for why Ifia didn’t want Amelia to accompany her?

Ifia learned from the information network, Jessica, that candidates participating in the royal election were not suitable for attending large private gatherings, as it could be suspected of engaging in secretive alliances and conspiracies.

This could easily be misconstrued as underhanded tactics, subjecting them to criticism from other candidates.

However, Ifia felt that these were merely formalities, as true secretive dealings would not be known to others. Besides these restrictions, candidates could still participate in formal banquets and engage openly in campaigning.

This was one of the reasons why Ifia was invited to Lady Chekov’s tea party – they wanted Amelia Barlen to accompany the “little canary” to the event.

Regarding this, Ifia, who didn’t want to be seen as exploiting Amelia’s weakness, would not fall for it.

Especially now that she had this “battle armor,” Ifia was even a bit impatient. She was ready for the fight!
