Villager A Wants to Save the Villainess no Matter What! - Chapter 37.1
Chapter 37.1 – Side – Anastasia (4)
Since the incident at the cultural festival, my relationship with His Highness has completely collapsed. His Highness does not speak to me, nor do I. If we pass each other, we only greet one another.
Just as His Highness hates me, I also no longer have any interest in him. Thereby, I’m not going to bother myself to warn that woman. I’ve strongly told my friends about this, so they’ll also endure from becoming unruly.
When days like this were going on, one day, I was suddenly taken out of the classroom by His Highness. Apparently, that woman woke up this morning and found her pen burned.
I don’t know how they reason it, but it seems they blame me for this crime. There is a servant in my room who can confirm my schedule, but His Highness doesn’t even want to listen to that.
Is this how His Highness will be when he takes the crown in the future?
“Anastasia! Give up already. What are you thinking about harassing the kind-hearted Amy by burning her pen?”
“His Highness, I didn’t do that, and I have told my friends not to do this kind of thing.”
“But considering the situation, there can be no one other than you.”
“That’s right! Miss Anastasia. No matter how cute Amy is, being jealous is ugly, you know?”
It seems that not only His Highness but also Prince Claude has become a fool. To what extent does that woman want to corrupt the men?
I sighed loudly. Then that woman stared at me from behind His Highnesses and grinned to provoke me.
Ah, so that’s what it is, really worthless.
“I don’t want to be told such a thing without evidence. So, excuse me, the lessons will start soon.”
I bowed and then turned to go to the classroom, but Leonardo grabbed my wrist and stopped my steps by force.
“Wait. The talk isn’t over.”
“Leonardo von Jukes, I didn’t allow you to touch me. You, a Viscount’s son, dare to touch me, a Duke’s daughter, without permission.”
“Shut up! If you plead guilty, I’ll let you go.”
“Is that a threat?”
“It’s bad that you don’t plead guilty. There can be no one other than you, who did this to harass Amy.”
Apparently, the conclusion that I did it was first, and it seems every wrongdoing is pardoned because of that conclusion. There will be various problems if a man like him joins the Knights and becomes the Knight Captain in the future.
If it was just this man alone, I could have handled it. But to be surrounded by so many people and being treated like this by someone superior in both size and strength is still terrifying.
As expected, it would be better for my father to take care of this.
At that time, Allen approached while making loud footsteps.
“Excuse me for disturbing you while you were conversing! It’s almost time for the class to start!”
Allen knelt saying that.
“Tch, enough. Let’s go.”
Perhaps because of Allen’s words, His Highnesses & Co. returned to the classroom steadily.
Did I get helped? Does that mean that time too?
“Allen, you –“
“Anastasia-sama, it’s time, the class will start.”
But Allen interrupted my words and quickly returned to the classroom.
My heart was beating fast, probably because of the horror I went through. So for a few moments, I stood there in a daze.
