"..."

I and Aurora looked at each other without speaking.

"Hey, look, something happened!"

"Yeah! I saw David and Edward fighting!"

"Say what?!"

"Princess Aurora intervened to stop them…"

"Could it be about the broken engagement?"

"Don't tell me it's a love triangle?!"

As if!

My calm expression twitched at the last one's line.

"What's happening here?"

Shit!

I heard the voice of Professor Mona.

"What? Again you Edward…"

"Not me! It's that blue idiot professor."

"Mind your words, Edward."

David gritted his teeth.

"Who are you to tell me?"

I snorted.

"Enough."

A colder voice rang.

It was professor Katia, this time.

"Ten points will be deducted from Edward Falkrona and David Seaven for starting a fight during class. Do you agree, professor Mona?"

"Yes."

What?!

"What the heck is that? The blue idiot was the one attacking me."

I could hear David breathing heavily each time I called him 'blue idiot'.

It was the goal.

Freaking snap!

I want to see your tears of anger!

[<Is there really a difference between you and the one in the game?>]

[He is on the good path to go to the wrong path.]

Keep talking.

I'm just retaliating.

"Edward, do you want me to call your aunt?"

My face turned pale at her words.

She will beat me up if she knows that I am playing around on her money.

Because yeah, she was the one paying the huge fees for the Royal Eden Academy as I left the Falkrona House.

The commoners had scholarships and other help, but not nobles like me.

"No need, professor. Though the blue idiot acted like a moron, I should have replied politely."

"Y-You!"

"Enough, Edward."

Professor Mona glared at me.

Sorry professor, I can't help but enjoy this guy's irritated expression.

"Ten points will be given to the Phoenix Class for the exemplary act of Aurora."

"Exemplary act?"

I scoffed.

"She just cajoled him."

"...."

Ah.

My tongue slipped again.

"I-I will check the other weapons."

I avoided my two professors' stares and walked away.

Aurora was also staring at me with her usual calm expression but I knew she was angry.

As for David…well, let's say that I can't mend our relation anymore.

Not like I wanted to be friends with an impotent man whose only redeeming quality was his dumb face.

[<Your thoughts are only filled with insults towards him, you will soon become what you don't want to, congratulations.>]

'Shut up! You guys may be the reason why I am losing my cool so easily!'

[<Rejecting the fault in a Goddess? Have some res->]

'I will never have respect for a perverted Goddess peeking at me taking a bath.'

[<Su-Such absurdities! I was just listening to you!>]

'A convenient excuse.'

I scoffed and ignored Cleenah's plea.

-Ding!

[Congratulations! New Title Obtained!]

[Road To Villain!]

'Jarvis…'

[I am not behind the titles.]

'I'm sure you have something to do with it.'

[100 Affection Points have been rewarded!]

At least he gave me something useful.

'Profile.'

[Edward Amael Falkrona] [16]

[3rd Ascension]

[Charm: 20]

[Affection Points: -140]

[Falkrona Bloodline~1st Wing~]

[Vysindra's Oath~1st Ring~]

[Spirit Lord~1st Anima's Core~]

[???]

"Hm?"

Did I obtain 100 AP in extra?

[No. When you helped Jayden and Milleia, they gave you each 50 Affection Points.]

'Oh.'

Nice.

I have three days to repay the remaining 140 points and I will not be in the red anymore.

All of that for that embarrassing mask…

Oh.

I also reached 20 points in Charm.

Perfect, I don't have to worry anymore.

[<Is that something to worry about?>]

'Of course. Appearance is the first thing a girl would see upon meeting you.'

[<Were you in your past life?>]

'No, I was average.'

[<You know I can't believe you in that matter.>]

'Why?'

[<That question, that's just why I can't trust you.>]

'Come one, if you think about Ephera then you are wrong. When she met me, I wore glasses and looked like a psycho, but she still liked someone like me. She is just a rare case.'

How many times have I heard people saying I wasn't a good match for her? I have to admit that Ephera was way above me like people would say: she was in another world, but still she accepted me.

"Edward"

I turned around and saw Jayden, Milleia and Lyra.

I instinctively myself on guard.

"What's up?"

" 'What's up?' Edward…"

When Milleia looked at me disapprovingly like that, it was hard to keep my composure.

"You should have heard him, he was the one starting."

I shrugged.

"Really?"

Lyra asked with upturned eyes.

What?

Has she guessed that it was my fault?

[<It's not hard to guess except for your two innocent friends.>]

What?!

Is that discrimination?

"Yeah, David started it. He mocked me about my broken engagement."

I put on a frustrated expression that clearly had an effect on Jayden and Milleia.

"Eh? You were engaged?"

Jayden asked, dumbfounded.

I should be the one shocked!

How the hell does he not know about the Royal Princess' engagement?

I looked at Milleia and she averted his face.

I knew their town was in the middle of nowhere but was that serious?

"You are really amazing, both of you..

Lyra sighed.

"Edward was engaged three years ago by an agreement between His Majesty, the King and Duke Falkrona. But the royal princess, Aurora-"

I glared at Lyra.

Did she want to humiliate me?

It's also part of etiquette to not act like that.

I can understand the blue idiot or Loid acting like that against me, but Lyra?

"Hum."

Lyra smiled like an idiot before coughing.

"But a month ago, their parents decided to break the engagement."

Good.

She corrected it.

[<She lied to keep your pride in check.>]

Yeah!

Cuz it wasn't entirely my fault!

[<Like always.>]

"I can't believe you were engaged to the princess…"

"Yeah…"

Milleia and Jayden looked at me in admiration.

I think they forgot that I was the son of the most powerful Duke.

All of that is because of the damned reporters!

Taking the worst photos of me and displaying them to the whole world while spouting nonsense like I was driven out.

Be it on Earth or in this world, they were there to warp every single piece of information for their own convenience for f*ck's sake!

"But what happened?"

Jayden was curious about the reason why the engagement was canceled.

I shrugged at his words.

"We didn't like each other."

Usually, no one would believe me, since it was a political marriage, so there must be a serious reason…like an incompetent party for the princess. Thankfully, as commoners, Jayden and Milleia just nodded.

"Is that true?"

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

Lyra asked me with a smile.

She saw me during parties trying to flirt or harass Aurora, so she must be thinking that I was lying.

[<But you are lying.>]

Shut up.

"Yeah."

I nodded.

"That girl is too stuck-up for me. Maybe someone like Jayden will be good for her."

"Wh-What?!"

Jayden was caught off guard by my words.

He looked around him in fear that someone had heard me.

I can see Lyra even more confused now.

She knew I was trying to hook up Milleia and Jayden, but why was I bringing Aurora out of nowhere? She could take that as a way of instilling feelings in Milleia, but in the end, she could only make suppositions.

I mean if she knew that I was preparing a harem for Jayden and she was included in that harem… She would not take that nicely since she had not an ounce of affection for Jayden right now. But it will eventually change when her event will come…

….

After my classmates finally chose their weapons, professor Mona and professor Katia added a few more words before leaving us.

We left the stadium and I took that occasion to give them my new phone number. I refused to give it to Lyra but she kept pestering me until even Milleia joined.

When Milleia asked with her innocent eyes why I didn't want to give my number to Lyra, I gave up like a future simp and gave my number to Lyra. The latter pouted at the difference in treatment between her and Milleia, but I didn't care. She was a dangerous fellow and I needed to be wary of her. She wasn't a heroine of the game for nothing.

"Your Highness, how was your day?"

"Good until you chased my friends away."

In front of me, outside, were Alfred and Layla.

Shit, I didn't expect that.

Thank God, the dumb brother and the mistress weren't with the idiot prince, I'd have snapped.

"Oh my, they just had some business, Your Highness."

Layla's giggle was melodious but I know it wasn't for Alfred.

When Alfred looked elsewhere from Layla, he noticed us.

No.

He noticed Milleia.

"Oh, isn't that Milleia?"

He approached Milleia and ignored us, and I was included.

Was that the etiquette of a prince?

"You-Your Highness."

Milleia greeted him awkwardly with Jayden behind him.

"Prince Alfred."

Lyra pinched the hem of her skirt and legend slightly her head, contrasting Milleia and Jayden's greetings.

"Lyra, the last time we saw each other was during my sister's tea party."

Alfred smiled…and continued to ignore me.

Well, I was also ignoring him.

My eyes were looking at the sky.

The sky was darkening and the sun was slowly going down and a beautiful orange taint painted the sky. It was without doubt a more beautiful sight than Alfred's face.

"Layla, how are you?"

Lyra greeted Layla, whose gaze nearly stabbed Alfred and Milleia…

"Fine, Lyra."

She replied curtly with a fake smile.

It doesn't look good…

I elbowed Jayden. The latter looked at me questioningly.

"Do something, otherwise he will take Milleia."

"Ah, yes!"

This guy…

Don't you have something called personality?!

Do I have to tell him everything?

I feel bad, but I hope his turning point event will come soon…
