Chapter 28: 27

I Couldn’t Stop my Childhood Friend from Turning Into a Villain

 

•───────•°•❀•°•───────•

[Liel’s POV]

 

Liel’s face became despondent as he glanced at Lucy’s back.

 

It didn’t take long for that despondency to turn into irritation and annoyance.

 

“Liel.”

 

When Lucy disappeared, Bella, whose face brightened, called Liel.

 

Liel turned his head again at the voice calling him. Bella blushed shyly and rolled her pink hair with her fingers.

 

Soon, her small lips moved.

 

As if she’s about to confess to Liel right away.

 

“Hey, actually, from the first time I saw you…….”

 

“You’re not planning to confess to me, are you?”

 

Liel interrupted her and spoke in a cold tone.

 

“I don’t even know who Senior is.”

 

Liel smiled indifferently. It was a very different smile from his smile to Lucy a while ago.

 

“Huh? So, if we get to know each other from now on…….”

 

“I’m sorry.”

 

With an unapologetic look, Liel stopped Bella.

 

“I don’t really want to.”

 

Liel pulled his tie down slightly and released his first button.

 

He felt like he was unable to breathe.

 

“You like me yet know nothing about me in the first place. I don’t like it.”

 

The tongue of this man who is as beautiful as a doll was sharper than a blade.

 

Lucy’s back, who left him behind, was constantly repeating in his head.

 

You promised me you wouldn’t leave me.

 

Did she forget because it was a promise she made when she was young? Lucy left Liel without any hesitation, as if she didn’t even remember such a promise.

 

He felt a sense of loss.

 

“Please understand, even if it’s harsh. I’m feeling overwhelmed right now, so I’m not in the mood to please others.”

 

Liel’s goal was to always maintain proper friendships and graduate appropriately.

 

So Lucy doesn’t think he’s weird.

 

Such an attitude also felt like a leeway for those who liked Liel.

 

Of course, they interpret it as they please, but most people interpret it as if they were possessed by something.

 

“If you were expecting a kind word from me….”

 

“I didn’t like you because you were sweet……! I came to like you—”

 

Before he knew it, tears formed around Bella’s eyes.

 

If he’s a person who has feelings, she would have looked pathetic enough in his eyes for him to comfort her back right away.

 

But the opponent was Liel.

 

“Senior.”

 

Again this time, Liel cut off Bella’s words without paying any attention to her.

 

“I don’t really want to know why you like me.”

 

Bella was left speechless by the indifferent response. Bella wiggled her fingers and bit her lower lip enough to bleed.

 

Liel, who had finished speaking, turned away from her immediately without hearing an answer.

 

Every time he received such a confession from another person, he was in a foul mood. Every time he heard such a light confession, he felt his feelings for Lucy were so heavy.

 

“Affection varies from person to person.”

 

Liel murmured what Dioleta noona had said to him as a child, with dark eyes.

 

It can’t be helped because it’s the way she is.

 

Liel’s eyes touched his bandaged hand.

 

Should I go after her now?

 

Liel’s footsteps naturally headed in the direction where Lucy disappeared.

[Lucy’s POV]

 

Why am I so excited?

 

Dioleta unnie said that it was quite rare for her to be confessed to at the academy, but at least it didn’t seem to apply to Liel.

 

Yeah. How can people not fall in love with him when he’s so handsome?

 

Moreover, I could fully understand the feelings of the senior who was conscious of me.

 

That’s why I tried to stay away from Liel. It seemed like he didn’t like it, but I had no choice.

 

“What if he asks me to keep my distance later on?”

 

“My girlfriend doesn’t like it.”

 

If that day comes, I should tease him a lot.

 

As I walked quickly in anticipation of the days to come, I was soon near the dormitory.

 

I have no more classes left.

 

Should I just go back to the dorm?

 

If it wasn’t for the discussion coming from behind at that moment, I would have gone straight into the dormitory and taken a nap.

 

“What are they doing so childishly?”

 

“He must have been quite upset that he lost his top seat to a commoner.”

 

“Well, Lucy’s not with her at the moment, so today’s the right time—”

My classmates’ words were cut off.

 

It was because their eyes met mine as I turned my head.

 

What was his name?

 

I recalled my memories while staring at the faces of my classmates.

 

Seeing that I know his face yet can’t remember his name, I don’t think we’ve ever had a conversation.

 

I approached them with a wistful smile.

 

“You know, are you talking about Melissa?”

 

There was no need to ask.

 

Melissa was the only commoner in our school year.

 

“…….”

 

My two classmates, who were continuing the conversation, hurriedly exchanged glances. He seemed to be thinking about whether to tell me the truth or not.

 

“What’s the childish thing you intend to do? Let me know.”

 

If you don’t want to tell me what it is, can you just tell me where you intend to do that childish thing?

 

When I smiled brightly, my classmates trembled.

 

Maybe it’s because I’m from the family of Marquis Seywint that they’re looking at me.

 

Exactly because of my grandmother.

 

It is said that our family is now out of politics. However, when my grandmother was in politics, she was quite influential, so her reputation is still among the nobles.

 

In particular, I heard that she had a temper, so they may have heard the rumors about my grandmother and were aware of them.

Eventually, after digging up all the details from my classmates, I rushed to the meeting place.

 

I couldn’t understand children who took things this far.

 

“Look at these clever people who are picking on people!”

 

That’s why Melissa doesn’t want to be friends with me.

 

I swung my bulky book in the air. If they hurt Melissa, I am gonna hit them on the head with this and then run away.

 

If they took Melissa while I was away, it’s safe to say that they don’t want me to get involved.

 

So I have to protect Melissa first.

 

“It’s ridiculous that I have to fight people who are much younger than me.”

 

I suddenly realized that I had never thought of my previous life since my reincarnation, and stopped walking for a while.

 

‘Before I became Lucy…….’

 

I stopped walking and recalled my memories of the past, but I couldn’t think of anything as if my head was coverwith thick fog.

 

Then, I suddenly thought it was not the right time to be like this, so I faltered again and moved my feet.

 

Melissa’s situation is more important now than her previous life, which was already over.

 

Recalling my priorities, I started running fast again. Soon after, a large tree in full bloom with white flowers came into view.

 

They said it was around there.

 

I’m going to…

 

As soon as I turned the corner, I heard something pouring.

 

At the same time, Melissa, who was covered in dirt in front of her, and two unnamed male classmates stood in front of her with a ferocious look on their faces.

 

It’s not just one person.

 

“It would have been better if you did what you were told to do while we’re still being nice.”

 

That common line was a bonus.

 

My hair stood up as I looked  in this situation and their lines that could only be seen and heard in novels.

 

This is real. And they even targeted a person around me.

 

“Why should I leave the academy as you tell me to? If you want to win first place, shouldn’t you work hard for it?”

 

Melissa, who wiped the dirt off her face with her arms, replied in a frosty voice.

 

“Or do you think you’ll lose to me even if you try because I’m so smart?”

 

Wow, Melissa is so cool…….

 

“Whoa.”

 

I almost forgot my duty because she was so cool.

 

“Melissa!”

 

When I came to my senses, I suddenly screamed and stood in front of Melissa.

 

Then the children who were bothering Melissa said, twisting their eyebrows.

 

“Lucy Seywint? Didn’t you follow Liel earlier?”

 

What my classmates said earlier was right. They were really after Melissa when she and I were apart.

 

He probably used his head because he didn’t want to get involved with me, but from my point of view, he was only wasting his energy.

 

“If you have time to do that, you should have put that effort into studying instead of planning this kind of thing…!”

 

When I swung my book and spoke, the children who were harassing Melissa looked at me with a strange look.

 

Unfortunately, my struggle is not as cool as Melissa’s.

 

Yeah, this can’t be cool.

 

“Die!”

 

Maybe it’s because I swung my arms too much on the way here. My right arm is already out of control.

 

I even thought about using my left arm instead, but I held it in because I thought it would look too lame.

 

“…… Lucy, they’re not scared at all.”

 

Melissa’s conflicted voice came from behind.

 

I was thinking about using my left arm, but I guess it just won’t work.

 

Immediately embarrassed, I put down my major book.
