Did I reincarnate as a villainess in an otome game?

Chapter 33

A/N: At long last, the revised version. Please feel free to point out any spelling or grammar errors.

I said, "Good morning!" to them.

The others replied, "G'morning."

The silver-haired girl stayed silent as an annoying brown-haired girl began speaking.

Lady Graciella opened her arms and gave the white-haired girl a bear hug, saying, "Good morning to my beautiful angel, Rachel, and bad morning to you uglies!"

She didn't move and allowed the brown-haired girl to embrace her.

She actually doesn't mind being embraced by a gorilla, but she won't even approach her attractive fiancé!

Presomptous!

How rude of Lady Graciella to refer to me as ugly!

Just to let her know, everyone in the country is aware of how attractive I am.

I'm worried that if I passed away, millions—no, all of the women—would be devastated, perhaps to the point where they would also want to commit suicide. Suicide.

Ah, I'm so gorgeous that I can influence women to behave irrationally.

If Ray and I ever have a child, I'm certain it will be just as handsome as I am.

Yes, yes.

Now that I think about it, Ray was really attached to me when I first met her.

She was holding on to me so closely and tightly that whenever I tried to walk, I would constantly trip over my own foot.

Our parents agreed to arrange an engagement for us since they thought it was so lovely and that there might someday be feelings growing between us.

At first, I was very hesitant about it, and I made repeated attempts to change their mind about our engagement. However, after hearing what Ray said that day, when she wished to call off our engagement, I suddenly grew curious and Interested of her.

(S/N: My lil bro just gave me sum snacks. I was wondering why he's giving it to me since he's always been very petty and greedy of his food then he said: "I can't finish it, so you eat it" "..." I feel like I've become a dog suddenly eating his left overs when it's supposed to be the other way around "...")

I thought that it was just one of her schemes for me to develop an interest of her, considering that I've been pushing her away intentionally. Boy, was I dead wrong. She just really wanted to end our engagement cleanly and nothing more.

Does she not desire power?

Engagement to the crown prince is a major step!

But she dares to reject it.

So I made the decision that if I couldn't choose the person I wanted to wed in the future, I'd rather wed someone who doesn't want me merely because of my status and the reputation they would gain if I became engaged to her

Although she continues to look for methods to break off our engagement, I came to like her because of this.

The more desirable a lady is to me, the more worthwhile it should be.

Who would want to refuse a challenge, after all?

One of our inspectors roared, "Students, pay attention," in a loud voice.

"I'm well aware that your leaders have previously briefed you on the regulations and objectives of our activity, correct?

The first five groups that successfully establishing their camp will receive 10 bonus points, the second and third groups will receive 5 bonus points, and the final two groups will receive 2 bonus points.

Those who don't have their camps put up by this evening's sundown will incur a negative 5 points deduction from their subsequent score.

Then, without further ado, you may all begin assembling your tents"

The mechanisms were straightforward.

Amass a lot of points; if you have the most, you win.

The rules are straightforward as well:

1. Although we will use magic against each other in various activities throughout this event, magical instructors will judge us and determine whether the magic we are using is deadly or can damage the other students. 

This is a must: Never use magic that would harm or kill someone.

Our safety must be prioritized.

We were placed in teams for a variety of reasons, including to develop the team's bond and to improve teamwork skills. One of those reasons is to win as a team; never assume you are the only member of your team.

The final two rules are the easiest to understand.

3. Have fun with the game and activity.

To conclude,

4. Learn from this experience.

The fourth one is crucial, as students will write lengthy reflections on the event we attended afterwards.

I exclaimed, thrilled, "Okay, let's begin."

Syd inquired hesitantly, "D-do you need a hand?"

Well, my dear brother-in-law, I would never ask for your assistance; please just let me handle this.

How could I allow my soon to be brother-in-law to assist me with this? That's a negative for me.

So I gave him a thumbs up and said, "I can handle this, brother-in-law," while grinning at him.

"Um...okay?"

I shouted out a lad's name as a familiar blonde-haired boy started to leave the group. I caught him before he could get too far away.

I said, "Louis! My dear younger brother, why don't you help this nice brother of yours?"

(S/N: I just don't like James so so much. I wish I can change ML's e.e)

"There are lots of you who can do the work, why should I help?"

He certainly does not want to become tired.

What a couch potato.

"My younger brother, being lazy is a horrible thing; quit doing it, and come help me with this matter,"

He reached into, where exactly I don't know, and brought out a thick leather book.

Anyhow, he began reading it!

How rude!

This is why I despise this kid!

"I don't use my energy as carelessly as you do; I'm not being lazy; I just love to save it."After saying that, Leon whistled and patted my shoulder."

Leader, I'm dependent on you, therefore I'll conserve my energy too."
