A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 5] Chapter 1
[Vol. 5] Chapter 1: Unreasonable
Jessica saw Amelia Barlen and immediately became as enthusiastic as a fangirl.
However, facing Miss Barlen’s icy gaze, Jessica silently moved to the left, trying to maintain a friendly distance from Ifia, avoiding being seen as a thorn in Miss Barlen’s eye.
Jealous women are unreasonable.
Just like that girl Austin, treating her female friends as rivals…
But Ifia, upon seeing Amelia, lit up with excitement, paying no attention to Jessica’s attempt to keep her distance. At this moment, Amelia was all that was in her eyes and heart, making her unable to sit still. She stood up from the sofa and ran towards Amelia.
Even though it had only been half a day since they last saw each other, Amelia being urgently summoned to the palace had worried Ifia greatly!
After all, in Ifia’s mind, the Rosward royal family was already associated with foul conspiracies!
Always playing dirty tricks.
Because of this, Ifia had initially planned to play “hide and seek” with Amelia, creating a surprise, but now she didn’t want to anymore. She just wanted to ask if Amelia had been bullied in the palace!
“Amelia, are you okay?”
Ifia ran to Amelia, immediately circling around her a few times, then anxiously raised her hand to touch and feel, almost wanting to strip Amelia’s clothes off and examine her thoroughly.
When Ifia’s little hand touched the line of Amelia’s vest on her abdomen, Amelia raised her hand with resignation, stopping the little one’s actions that could be considered harassment.
Although Amelia enjoyed Ifia’s touch, there was a third person present at the moment… and when Ifia realized it, she became shy again.
To avoid making Ifia uncomfortable, it was necessary to nip it in the bud.
“Ifia, don’t worry, I’m fine.”
After being stopped by Amelia, Ifia’s worries diminished slightly, and she remembered that Jessica was still sitting on the side…
As Amelia had anticipated, Ifia’s fair face turned red, and she didn’t ask any further. She tightly pursed her lips, her black eyes avoiding the gaze of the two people present, quickly sitting on the single sofa. Ah, what had she done!
In front of Jessica, acting like this towards Amelia, it was truly embarrassing.
Ifia’s shy actions were cute, making Amelia’s lips curl slightly, her purple eyes shimmering like sweet syrup.
Jessica, who was silent on the side, felt extremely embarrassed, thinking she shouldn’t be here now.
This feeling was like being kicked by a couple on the roadside…
Wait, no, it wasn’t like she didn’t have a partner!!!
Thinking that Miss Barlen had just come out of the palace and must have a lot to say to Ifia, Jessica immediately tactfully suggested leaving, then waved her hand to indicate that there was no need to accompany her, and left directly.
Leaving Ifia and Amelia alone, without worrying about others, Amelia took a few steps to the single sofa where Ifia was sitting, and slowly squatted down beside her.
One tall, one short.
Immediately, she lifted her hand to prop up her chin, looking up at Ifia.
“My lovely Ifia, why are you ignoring me?”
Her purple eyes blinked, her disheveled silver hair falling in front of her, adding to her charm. Under the close-range beauty attack, Ifia was dizzy with admiration.
No matter how long she spent with Amelia, she had no resistance to this beautiful face!
“I… I didn’t ignore you, I was just too anxious earlier…”
Ifia stammered, not saying everything, but both understood the implication in her words. Amelia chuckled lightly, no longer pressing Ifia and taking the initiative to change the subject.
“Why did you come back, Ifia? If the Saint hadn’t sent word, I would have gone to the church by now.”
Upon hearing this, Ifia forgot about her shyness, immediately thinking of the misdeeds of the Rosward royal family!
She quickly put on a serious face and said, “Amelia, have you heard the latest news from Darwa City about using magical plants to summon demons?”
“Yes, the king urgently summoned me to the palace to discuss this matter.”
Amelia casually nodded, appearing unconcerned, which eased Ifia’s raised concerns slightly.
Maybe things weren’t as bad as she thought!
It must be said, having Amelia by her side really put her at ease!
“In addition to the ten magical plants we auctioned, there are also other families in the Camus territory who were lucky enough to obtain magical plants. So, a few days ago, someone successfully summoned a demon.”
Ifia’s thoughts were simple and she didn’t know how to hide them, so Amelia could tell what she was thinking at a glance. Therefore, she immediately explained the situation, indicating that the crisis of demons in Darwa City was not solely because of the auction. They were only concerned with selling, not with the aftermath.
Upon hearing this, Ifia’s expression froze for a moment, then her furrowed brows relaxed, and her mood improved. In fact, when she heard from Jessica about the appearance of demons in Darwa City, Ifia felt somewhat guilty, thinking that everything was because they auctioned off the magical plants.
Now that she heard the truth and realized it wasn’t entirely their fault, Ifia’s sense of guilt diminished. Even if they didn’t sell the magical plants, many families would still search for them in the Camus territory and continuously transport them to Darwa City, leading to the summoning of demons. It was all because of human greed.
After comforting Ifia, Amelia continued, “Initially, I thought the situation was dire, but upon entering the palace, all I saw was the nobles arguing and causing chaos.”
“The king sat on his throne, watching as the nobles started fighting. Only then did he order the attendants to separate them, and then they began discussing how to deal with the demons summoned in Darwa City.”
Knowing Ifia enjoyed gossip, Amelia mentioned the scene of the nobles fighting when she was urgently summoned to the palace.
This made Ifia couldn’t help but chuckle, feeling as if she were there, watching the nobles pecking at each other like chickens.
“The result of the discussion was to have the clergy of the church perform exorcisms, to try it out first.”
Suddenly, Ifia remembered something and immediately asked, “Amelia, I heard that the Rosward royal family also used magical plants to summon demons. It’s said that they wanted the demons to deal with you, but the demons refused and have been staying in the palace ever since. Is this true?”
When Ifia mentioned the demons rejecting the royal family’s wish, she couldn’t help but laugh. However, Amelia shook her head.
“I’m not sure, but the king has ordered that I must be present when the clergy exorcise demons, to prevent the demons from harming the clergy.”
“!!!”
Now, Ifia couldn’t find it funny anymore. Her black eyes were filled with anger.
Damn the Rosward royal family, they really played dirty tricks again!
They actually made her Amelia face dangerous demons head-on!
