Did I reincarnate as a villainess in an otome game?

Chapter 27: Lie

Why are you telling lies?

I didn't push you, Rosetta.

She continued, her hand firmly clutching her arm, "Y-yesterday... She was looking for her pen and didn't find it.

Again, why do you lie?

------

Rosetta questioned me softly, "Lady Rachel? Should we leave now?"

"Y-yeah...I suppose we should, huh?"

"What is it?"

"I can't find my pen."

"What pen, is it possible it was stolen?"

I remarked, "Uh, I don't think it was stolen.""

"Ah, I realized I need to do something," Rosetta stated.

Rosetta told me as she left the hallways, "I have to take a short detour, Lady Rachel can go on first. She seems to be in a rush.

------

"That pen was discovered on the scene; perhaps because I resisted, it fell.

It was her, I'm telling you guys" Rosetta tried to convince the boys. "You can check it if it's hers or not!"

Why is she telling lies?

Sebastian took up something off the table and said, "Lady Rachel loves to bite her pens, this could only be hers. It is, it had the Vallemont sign. Being the offspring of the Duke, only Syd and Lady Rachel could carry this."

The others kept quiet.

Leon screamed, "Woah, I truly couldn't believe this, Lady Rachel actually had another face."

Had he lost his mind?

Why did he assume that I would do it?

"My sister wouldn't," Syd responded.

Rosetta exclaimed, "My Lord, We have the pen, and a student saw Rachel do it!"

"But..."

Prince James looked at the item on the table and exclaimed, "Ray would never do that!"

"for me, at least"

He looked away as he sighed.

"You know where to find me if something happens."

I keep hearing the voice.

"I warned you that Rosetta would hurt you."

"So what do I need to do?"

"You are aware of what to do."

"If I don't know who you are, how can I believe you?"

"Find me, And I'll tell you."

"But, It wouldn't matter who I am"

"How can I find you?"

" At the school garden at sunset. Bring nobody but yourself."

"At this point, you trust no one."

"I'll be waiting,"

-----

On a bench in a barren area, I sat down.

Even the birds were sleeping since the area was so quiet.

The sun was still up.

The clock's hand turned, and I watched as kids started to pour in from all directions.

3:00

The entire student body has more leisure time, so they spend time with their colleagues. The area, which was previously quiet, became boisterous.

How long did I just sit here, looking aimlessly?

The group dispersed gradually. Since we still have class tomorrow, they must have wanted to retire early. I ought to be leaving as well.

To meet her.

I entered the school grounds covertly, ensuring no one was watching.

"At this point, you trust no one."

I was met with silence.

I chose to wander around and observe the flowers that the school had nurtured because nobody else was around. There were numerous varieties of flowers, some of which I cannot identify. 

Additionally, there were flowers that were unique to this world.

My eyes settled on a flower that I was very familiar with.

There are flowers on earth that were formerly present as well.

That flower has no known origins and is only found on this empire since it is so rare.

Behind me, someone spoke. This voice always haunts me in my dream, speaking things to which I don't understand.

"You came," I said with trembling voice.

I could see the person behind me, but I dared not look into his eyes.

"Naturally, even if you don't show up, I always come here every day.

because you will one day, I'm sure."

I whirled around to face the person.

It's "You!"

The person grinned and said, "Surprised?"

"But, that's not why we came here. Rosetta she..."

I questioned, "You seem to know that she wants to hurt me, why?"

"Of course I know that. If you're interested in learning more about a character's background, check out Wikipedia. "That's because she dislikes nobles, easy like that."

Wiki?

"Get away from them Rachel and the others, you shouldn't have formed a relationship with them, they're all going to hurt you."

"Just who are you?"
