Chapter 19 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

Chapter 19 She's a Bad Person~ The last time she entered the villa, Ifia still had the leisure to appreciate and think that Amelia's taste was quite good. The light and elegant white decoration looked bright rather than dark, with fresh blue-purple hydrangeas, making people feel pleasantly content. However, this time, her mind was empty. She just kept thinking about escaping. If she had made up her mind a little faster just now, maybe she would have already returned to the dorm and lay down. The more she thought about it, the more regretful Ifia felt. She felt utterly powerless, looking all pitiful. Even her favorite dessert being served wouldn't arouse any appetite in her... unless they let her go! The butler, Hiber, who led the way, was observing everything around him and listening intently. He had already consciously paid attention to this respected guest, Ifia, and now seeing her in such a weary state, he thought she looked uncomfortable. Hiber decided that he could have a chat with this Miss Ifia during the walk. No matter how you look at it, Miss Ifia's relationship with Miss Barren is not shallow. They might meet frequently in the future! "Miss Ifia, are you feeling unwell?" Ifia didn't expect the new butler to suddenly speak. Startled, she couldn't help but be taken aback. Then she saw the butler's sincere expression and quickly averted her eyes, tentatively asking, "I was curious after seeing the former butler at the door. What did he do wrong?" Even though Ifia was trying her best to control her facial expression, hoping to look a little more natural, her thoughts were impossible to hide from Hiber – a butler who had emerged from thousands of peers forging his own path. He didn't miss a beat. He couldn't help but feel fearful seeing Nisen's miserable state, let alone this seemingly innocent commoner student. Her delicate appearance, pale complexion, as if she would faint the next second. Recalling Miss Barren's attitude towards Ifia, Hiber organized his words before speaking, "You're referring to Nisen, I presume!" Seeing that he had successfully caught Ifia's attention, his brain quickly began to fabricate a lie. "I heard that he tampered with an important item from the Duke's mansion, which made Miss Barren extremely angry. She intended to send him to prison, but Nisen intended to harm Miss Barren, so..." "What!!! Amelia got hurt?" The moment someone had laid a hand on Amelia, Ifia threw her fear aside. After all, even without a system task, Amelia was her acknowledged friend. Whether Amelia was good or bad, her kindness towards Ifia couldn't be false, and the assistance she offered shouldn't be forgotten. The suspicions and doubts from a moment ago turned into worry now. Ifia's face showed an expression of extreme shock. She picked up her pace, following Hiber, heading directly to Amelia's room without needing the butler to lead the way. In the afternoon tea party before, Amelia had shown her around the room. The first time she visited, Ifia had thought that a girl's room would be full of cute and soft things, but upon entering, she had found it clean and neat like a hotel room. Plus, Amelia liked to pull the curtains, making the whole room dim. "Amelia, are you alright?" Due to her worries, Ifia skipped the typical knock and pushed the door open, her face full of anxiety, wanting to see Amelia as soon as possible. Would the injured and weak Amelia be silently grieving inside the room? She felt terrible! She had misunderstood Amelia as a bad person just because she had seen the butler's miserable condition. Even though she was also a victim! Suddenly being thrown into a world from a book, unfamiliar surroundings, unfamiliar people, and a distressed state of life where even eating was a problem... Ifia knew she was all alone now, so she couldn't be as delicate as she used to be. Because no one would care for her. Even the system was of no use, it was Amelia who reached out to her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to enter the gates of the Pris Academy. She also helped her join the art club, avoiding expulsion from the school. It could be said that since coming to this world, Amelia was the first person willing to help her... Compared to the main character, Irene, and the others, Amelia was like an angel. Thinking of these things, Ifia was engulfed in deep guilt. She couldn't hold back her tears due to worry and the redness in her eyes, and uncontrollable sobbing made her body tremble. She looked like a pitiful abandoned little thing. Amelia, who had been sitting leisurely in the wicker chair waiting for the little cutie to come to her, hadn't expected to see Ifia in such a state. Seeing this, Amelia was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up. Taking a few steps forward, she raised her hand to cup Ifia's face. Originally white and cute, her face looked disheveled, her eyes were red, and even her delicate nose was red from crying. The tears staining her beautiful, round eyes were like gemstones falling into a stream, reflecting the sunlight. They were dazzling and extraordinary. However, even though Ifia looked beautiful in such a state, Amelia didn't want her to keep crying... But if she was being bullied, that made Amelia unhappy. Thinking of these things, Amelia let go of one hand, took out a embroidered handkerchief from her pocket, and used the soft side to gently wipe away the tears, restoring Ifia to her normal self. "Ifia, I'm fine. Don't worry." Seeing Amelia indeed unharmed, perfectly standing in front of her, Ifia finally stopped worrying and fearing. But her sobbing couldn't stop immediately. Ifia looked up at Amelia, frightened by the thought of what could have happened, and immediately threw herself into Amelia's arms, tightly embracing her waist. "You're fine, and that's great!" Although curious, Amelia didn't rush to inquire, she patted Ifia's back, then, seeing the butler, Hiber, rushing over with a guilty look on his face, Amelia couldn't help but narrow her eyes. The next moment, Amelia stared at Hiber, and her purple eyes instantly turned bright red. Hiber, in that moment, completely lost his expression, standing there like a puppet. Then, rapidly, memories related to Ifia ran through his mind. This made Amelia immediately understand the cause and effect. I see. This new butler was not bad, quite clever. After learning what she wanted to know, Amelia glanced at Hiber once more. Hiber still maintained his blank look, turned and left as if he had never been there. Then, Amelia lowered her head, looking at Ifia, who couldn't stop hiccupping, and she felt that the new toy she had actively "acquired" was even more adorable now. Was she worried about her? But, she's a bad person~ A particularly bad kind. Amelia's hand that had been patting Ifia's back moved up, gently stroking her slender neck. She felt like she was touching a good piece of sheep-fat white jade, the comfortable feel making it hard to let go. Yet, the still-red eyes were flashing with emotions of heat, madness, and cruelty, as if filled with fresh blood.
