The Former Villainess Who Went Back in Time, She Doesn’t Fix Her Bad Personality but Avoids the Exec

Chapter 53: She is bitter and sweet honey

ーー

After yet another uneventful day of classes, Julian-sama naturally comes to me after school.

“You two look great together!”

“What a handsome couple!”

“Quatra-sama is the only one befitting of His Highness’s fiancee!”

I exchange these kind of compliments with a smile, as I have grown used to hearing them countless times.

I recently came to realize that, apart from his interactions with me, Julian-sama still retains some of his previous cold demeanor. When he finds me, he lightly smiles and raises one hand with joy.

The other day, I happened to overhear some unfamiliar girls whispering about how they can’t understand why I’m so good, even though I’m feared in various ways by those around me.

While I find these insults annoying, I don’t feel the need to approach and shout at them. Rather, it makes me feel much worse seeing the rampant bullying between different classes at this school.

Ironically, I was the one who instigated it before. In the end, my own nature brought me down to a miserable death, so even I find it hypocritical to say that I’ll now live honestly.

So I couldn’t bring myself to face it directly, and as a result, I wanted to break the vicious cycle of my personal “toys” increasing.

“That Julian-sama. Hasn’t he been getting a little closer to me lately?”

In the past, I died without even knowing what a man was. My pride was as high as a mountain, so I never even thought about any other men besides Julian-sama, and as a result, I ended up living my life without even holding hands with anyone.

That’s why every time I have this kind of “interactions” with Julian-sama, my heart beats faster and I can’t calm down.

Regardless of likes and dislikes, he is the very embodiment of my ideal appearance. In addition, the current Julian-sama becomes sweeter to me as he gets older.

I can’t accept it honestly, but at the same time, it’s difficult to reject him. As a result, I can only blush and avert my gaze.

“In order to maintain the order of the academy, you must have more restraint…”

“If I obediently follow that kind of thing, Alise will be snatched away from me in no time.”

Together with a sigh of melancholy, I felt like sighing myself at the words that had been uttered.

“Only Julian-sama likes that kind of thing.”

“It’s not good. Recently you’ve been too defenseless. Especially since entering the school.”

“That’s not true.”

I protested with a snort, Julian-sama kindly narrowed his eyes.

“You’re spreading the charm hidden behind your bad personality too much. If possible, I don’t want you to be kind to anyone else but me.”

“Kind? Where am I kind?”

“Do you want me to show you?”

As always, he scooped up my amber-colored hair with his long fingers. Captured by the mysterious gray light, my body was immediately enchanted.

“Hehe, even you blushing is cute.”

“G-Geez!”

To his provocative smile, all I could do was pout.
