The Retribution of the Ice Cold Maiden

20 - You won't back out now, right?

"Stop feigning ignorance...!! Do you accept my challenge or not?!" The Pink haired girl demanded.

Selena felt like pulling her hair out. 'Feigning Ignorance? How can I feign something I am not aware of? Seriously, who are you? How did I even offend you? Do people really feel challenged by my face just like Soul said? Well, I can't help it, I was born with this face. Is this why someone is trying to kill me and/or trying to ruin my status with the help of Claire Walker? Because if so, that would explain a lot on why I am being targeted despite never hurting anyone.'

"Do you know this girl?" Soul asked.

"Of course not, I don't remember meeting her ever before." Selena replied.

"Then why does she look as if you murdered her parents in cold blood?" Soul asked.

"How the hell should I know?" Selena was already tired from the information surge and the current turn of events made her even more stressed.

She looked down as if a saint in deep thought. Today was full of surprises for her. She found out her teacher was ruining her education so she beat her up. She confronted the same and revealed it to everyone. Then on her way to the library, she stumbled upon injustice on an ex-soldier and resolved the matter and gained a faithful follower. As if that was not enough Soul transferred thousands of books inside her head making her into a walking library. Then she found a magic book which she has yet to open, and now, a bunch of women randomly approached her with the intention of challenging her.

Selena "..."

Did God felt her Life was not difficult enough? Did he have to increase the Difficulty level to nightmare settings?

"Oh... OH...!! I think I found out the reason why she is angry...!!" Soul suddenly exclaimed inside her head.

"What? Why? and how do you know?" Selena asked.

"Well, I always have a habit of recording everything that happens around you since someone is after you. I have been doing that since the day we met. I started recording events from before we trashed Grant." Soul quickly explained.

"So you have seen her before?" Selena asked. She was aware that Soul was capable of recording her surroundings which meant that this girl in front has probably seen her from behind.

"Yep, she was also at the Birthday party of the third prince which is why she knows your name. In fact, those ladies behind you are the same as her in that regard."

"I see, but why are they angry at me?" Selena asked.

"Well, it is a long story..." Soul replied as he started recounting the event.

"Remember when you told me that you will let me scan a beautiful lady and you sat down on the chair in the first section of the library? Well, those ladies were seated next to your table."

"They seemed to fawn over the lady seated in the middle. I couldn't see the lady in the middle since they circled her and I didn't use my radar too deep as I was busy scanning the books. That lady is not among them right now by the way."

"Okay, so how did I offend them?" Selena asked not understanding the situation.

"Well, remember when I explained the effects of the fake ingredients of the Fever Reducing Potion and you coughed loudly?"

"It seems before you coughed, the pink-haired girl was saying, "Lady Scarlett, I am really in awe of you. I hope one day I will become someone who is just as beautiful and kind as you." So, when you coughed after that, the pink-haired girl thought you were mocking her."

"I see..." Selena finally calmed down. So it was a misunderstanding.

"Oh no no no... It's not over yet. We are still not in the fun part of the story yet." Soul laughed.
