Extra 28: The 800-year-old Villainess had fun Every Day (2)
When I opened my eyes, I saw an unfamiliar, luxurious ceiling. What an extravagant bedroom! The bed was also extremely comfortable!
Soon, I realized a young man and woman were in front of me.
On one sides was a dazzling, handsome blond. On the other was a plain-looking girl with braided pink air. Their arms were entwined together.
…Oh, the boy has an injury on his chin.
“That wound on your chin looks painful. Are you okay?”
“That’s not important—!”
Well, I guess so, but seeing such beautiful features marred with an injury was such a shame.
As a former genius magician, I thought of healing him with magic, but Lelouche seemed to have no magical power at all.
From the looks of it, he seemed to be 18 years old. That was probably the age when someone became a bit mischievous.
When I tried to stand up, I felt a little dizzy. The girl tried to support me from behind, saying, “Don’t push yourself!”
Maybe she’s a kind girl? I should probably thank her…
“Thank you, but it’s nothing serious. I’ll be fine.”
“But you fell down the stairs…
“Oh, that sounds like a fascinating experience!”
Now that I think about it, I hadn’t felt pain in 800 years. How disappointing! We should’ve switched places as she was falling!
The girl took a step back, saying, “Eh… ‘fascinating’?”
Oops, that was a slip of the tongue. I wouldn’t want Lelouche to be labeled as a weirdo. I had to fix this!
“Don’t worry, uh, Lumiere…?”
“Don’t reject Lumiere’s consideration!”
Oh dear, now the boy’s getting mad at me.
Still, according to that god, wasn’t he a prince? And my fiancé, at that?’
Hmm… Can I just say something?
“Bringing another girl to your fiancée’s chamber… How considerate of you, Golden Prince.”
“S-she came to visit you—”
“While I appreciate it, I still think it’s uncouth.”
I thought it’d be a shame to suddenly glare at him, so I asked him with a smile, and the prince frowned.
“L-Lelouche, what’s wrong? It’s just, the way you speak…”
Ah, my bad.
A lady… I was a noble with a decent title 800 years ago, so it wasn’t like I couldn’t act like one.
“Oh, my apologies. But I don’t want to hear that from a cheater?”
“Lumiere is just a friend!”
Haha, this prince is interesting too.
I didn’t think an engaged man should be seeing another woman? Wasn’t that just common sense? Or did the world change?
Also, the girl was visibly shocked by the prince’s ‘just-a-friend’ remark. Oh, dear. One-sided love? Poor thing!
Either way, I should probably leave this prince alone.
After all, no matter how I looked at it, these past few minutes had been full of things I couldn’t care less about.
“Even if what you’re saying is true, why did you act in a way that could be misunderstood by your ailing fiancée?”
When I asked him directly, his tone suddenly became meek.
“That’s… Zafield told me if I’m truly just friends with Lumiere, I should openly let her meet you…”
“Have you ever suspected that this Zafield might hate you?”
“H-huh? Really?”
His eyes were swimming like crazy. Was he that clueless?
Well, I don’t know who Zafield is, but go ahead and fight to your heart’s content! I’ll bring popcorn! It’s part of youth, after all.
Anyway, I’d like to experience youth, too.
“For now… Lumiere, right? Do you have time tomorrow?”
“But Lady Lelouche is recovering…”
“I’m fine! Your Highness, can I borrow Lumiere?”
I checked with the prince and he reluctantly agreed.
“Just don’t overdo it, okay?”
I thought the prince’s words were a bit odd, though. I brushed them off as a minor issue.
