Chapter 5: Plump Thread
It had been two months since Princess Chai had arrived at the academy, and I spent every day feeling frustrated.
To monitor and utilize her, I volunteered to be her guide. It was my role to show her around the school facilities and explain the curriculum.
For now, I refrained from making any moves on Princess Chai and observed her behavior. After all, she was probably hiding something sinister.
If I could hold onto one of her weaknesses, it would serve as insurance for the future.
But my plan didn’t go as expected.
“Thank you so much, Aliseteen-san. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please take it.”
Princess Chai handed me a small bag with a smile on her face. Inside was face powder.
“This is made from the rare embryo part of a flower that can only be found in Slophone. It’s a special face powder that only royalty and some nobles can use in our country.”
“…Well, that’s nice to hear.”
“However, Aliseteen-san is already beautiful enough as she is.”
Is she trying to be sarcastic? She may have an innocent face, but I know she looks down on me.
Her hypocritical behavior is annoying, but what I really can’t stand is…
“Aliseteen, Princess Chai.”
Julian-sama, my fiancé, walked towards us with one hand raised. He’s mine, yet his eyes were fixed on Chai-sama.
He had never approached me like this when I was alone.
I bit down on my molars in frustration, causing the cloth bag in my hand to twist out of shape.
“Good day, Julian-sama.”
Chai-sama smiled like a fairy, so lovely and delicate. It makes me feel sick.
“Have you gotten used to life at this academy?”
“Yes, thanks to Aliseteen-san. She’s really kind.”
Disliking the calm atmosphere between the two, I stepped forward to Princess Chai.
“Julian-sama, you haven’t forgotten about this weekend, have you? The Quatra family is eagerly awaiting your visit.”
“…Ah.”
Was Julian-sama always this easy to read? His grey eyes told me to stop saying unnecessary things.
“Does Princess Chai not have any ‘good gentlemen’ like my Julian-sama?”
“Aliseteen, that’s not appropriate.”
Princess Chai replied with a smile and graciously smiled at me.
“Unfortunately, I haven’t had any such discussions yet. I envy your close relationship.”
“Well, it’s a bit embarrassing.”
I blushed, but Julian-sama’s expression became stiff.
“I hope someday I can meet someone as wonderful as Julian-sama.”
Princess Chai said with a smile.
“A woman like Princess Chai shouldn’t cause any worries.”
“Fufu, even if it’s just a polite remark, I’m happy to hear it.”
…What’s going on? Why does Julian-sama have that expression on his face, even though I exist?
This woman, who just arrived, effortlessly achieved what I have been dreaming of for so long——to have Julian-sama smile at me.
This can’t happen, under any circumstances. I must help my fiancé, who is about to fall under the spell of Princess Chai’s poison.
As I stared blankly at the scene before me, I felt something inside me snap and break with a loud sound.
