Chapter 261: V2 Ch 84. The project and the bully

After 3 weeks of settling down and making temporary houses for the workers, and sheds for the materials, I returned to the capital to see the results of my competition.

The first turn of the competition was weeding out the quickies and other ‘exciting’ marvels of design that literally have nothing to do with the task given.

I saw a lot of ‘great’ ideas and out of the entire pool of contestants only 21 remained.

At the second contest I started weeding out the ideas that just don’t meet my image.

For example, a castle-like house, a house made of ivory, a house decorated with columns and gold.

After that only 12 contestants remained. Catalina was one of them.

“I worked hard…” (Ca)

“I am sorry to say it but I will be merciless. It is for the sake of Lilith, after all.”

“I understand.” Despite her quiet voice, she was very determined to win.

At the third selection I actually looked into the designs: the rooms layout and the sizes of everything.

Weirdly, the only house where the requirements were actually met was designed by…

“You have Carte Blanche, My Lady.”

“W-what does it… mean…?” (Ca)

“It means your project was chosen as the prototype. Now, please do pack everything you would need. We are setting sail tomorrow at the dawn.”

“Y-yes… but we should do it quickly… the students… are left alone…” I decided not to remind her of the reputation she bears, or the fact that they will be blissed if she would be gone for longer.

“Now, this angle. Can it be removed or smoothed?”

“It is not the best idea. It is harder to make and the stability of the second floor will be questionable.” (Ca)

While I was arguing with Catalina on how to improve the house, Lilith and Charlotte were having an argument of their own in the distance.

Unlike our constructive criticism of each other’s ideas, they had a literal bullying of Charlotte. After another passage, Charlotte started crying and ran into me.

[[[What happened back there…

“It was just a coincidence!” (C)

“Was it~?” (L)

“Of course. It is no more than her pity. If the demon lord was not your mother, she would lose to anyone!” (C)

“Yeah~, right~. Funny to hear that from the one who boasted how her ‘friends’ will be competing with each other whose design is better. I heard they were kicked out from the competition the first.” (L)

“Lies! I was just… too compassionate and let the demon lord to have the victory. I can change my decision any moment.” (C)

“Khe-khe-khe… So, if we ask Miss Delight, will she tell us that it is like that~?” (L)

“Y… Khm. You are just a bastard! How dare you question an actual noble like myself?!” Charlotte was cornered and now could only resort to her authority.

“Face the reality, ‘noblest’ of nobles. I am closer to Miss Delight than you are~. My mother is designing her home. I am always guarded by her. I can ask her whatever I want and whenever I want. And, I am going to be…” (L)

30 seconds later.]]]

“Hey, hey! Don’t cry, tshhh. Don’t cry.” I hugged the crying girl and glared at Lilith. I told them not to catfight. And told it more than once.

“She just does not want to accept the reality.” Lilith frowned.

“We will talk about it later.” I warned Lilith and returned to comforting Charlotte.

It took me a lot of efforts to calm down Charlotte. Well, I did not calm her down myself, she just cried herself to sleep. Despite her attitude, I feel like Charlotte is the last person to be able to withstand questioning her.

“Now, tell me what was the reason for bullying Charlotte?”

“Cherry could not accept that she was defeated.” (L)

“I bet she did not start to cry just because you said that.”

“Maybe there was something else~.” Lilith winked but I flashed to pinch her cheeks.

“UUUuuU!!!” (L)

“Will you answer what was the reason?”

‘Sob’

‘No…’ After seeing how Lilith changed I did not dare interrogating her further. After a single question she turned from cheerful and playful to crying.

Xera’s POV

After Miss Delight left and Milady calmed down I approached her.

“Did everything go smoothly?” She shook her head and sighed.

“How many times should I tell you? The longer you postpone everything, the worse it will be! Miss de Terehan is not going to be idle while you are hesitating! C’mon! Stick out your chest and proudly approach that blockhead. Then tell her…” Milady twitched and ran somewhere.

“What?!”

“THAT VIXEN!!!” Before I could ask, Milady ran away. I just wonder if her courage only works on dealing with Miss Evereyn…
