Nefeli: The Reincarnated Villainess

Kabanata Treinta y Uno

"How's the tea? I was the one who made it," pagbibida ni Crucida.

"Really? This tea taste amazing," pagpuri ni Sylvaine.

"Totoo nga lady Crucida. Ang sarap ng tyaang iyong gawa," gatung pa ng isang babae na tingin ko ay anak ng isang Lord sa Altaégrande.

Paano ba ako napunta sa sitwasyong na ito? Having tea with this nobles ladies from Altaégrande.

Whatever hateful words I spit towards this people seems not to bother them. That they even use their father to asked my brother for me to attend this boring tea party.

"How about you Lady Nefeli? Do you like the tea?" Crucida's expressive eyes bores at me. Patiently waiting for my reply.

I forced myself for once to drink the tea. My brow rose when the liquid touches my tongue. Can't deny it, it really taste good.

"H-How was it?" I almost roll my eyes when I found all of them eyeing me with expectations on their eyes.

"It's good. I commend your skills on making teas like this," I complimented Crucida. That I regret later on. I didn't expect how she would love to hear that compliment from me that she couldn't stop smiling ang bragging to the other nobles.

The day went like that. They are talking a lot of topics. Mostly those kind of teas outside the Altaégrande. Which is the second prince's scandalous issue.

Until their topic went on about relationships. They shares about who are their crushes and who among them are already engaged because of their family tradition.

But one girl caught my attention. The name she spoke out exactly.

"I like prince Aeschylus. Although I just occasionally meet him. I find him very attractive, lalo na ang pagiging tahimik nito. Mysterious men are really attractive for me."

I could only rose a brow and hissed in silence.

I stared at the Lady who confessed about her feelings for Aeschylus. I wonder how would she reacts once she find out that she's in the same place with the woman who already own the man she's crushing on?

I must admit, she has the beauty. She has this curly orange hair and rosy cheeks. She also has that small pointed nose.

But I know what is the third prince type. A devious kind of woman who's a princess of a Dukedom. One word. Me.

"Ikaw lady Nefeli? Mayroon ka na bang nagugustuhan? O kasintahan?" Napunta sa akin ang atensyon ng lahat nang tanongin ako ni Sylvaine.

The girl with that orange hair meet my gaze. She's a bit shock but immediately held her composure.

I averted my eyes and look at Sylvaine, then put up a sweet with a hidden cunningness on my smile.

"I am already taken, lady Sylvaine," tugon ko.

"Talaga lady Nefeli? Nakakatuwa naman. Isa ba siyang anak ng Baron? Ng Marquess?"

Naakabang ang lahat sa magiging sagot ko. Lalo na ang dalawang babae na noon pa ako gustong-gusto maging kaibigan. Tss.

"No. He's one of the emperor's son," malapad ang ngiti kong turan.

Napasinghap ang mga 'to at namamanghang napatitig sa akin.

Muli ko namang ibinalik ang aking tingin sa babaeng nagkakagusto kay Osiris.

She's now staring back at me with her serious eyes. Ang bilis namang makapick up ng isang 'to.

I put out a cold smile.

"Who among them?" Another lady asked, and I don't know her name.

"Secret," I brought my gaze to the girl who asked and wink.
