The Reincarnated Villainous Noble Still Won't Try His Best! - Chapter 12 : False Accusations!

Chapter 12 : False Accusations!

Lilia dropped the bomb, and the shock was fully taken by the blue-haired girl.

While trembling, she groaned and said,

“Th-this… is… your fiancé? A member of the Greylord family, of all people, and Marius… is your fiancé!?”

“Is this…?”

She is so rude… Her personality matches similarly like in the game.

“That’s very rude, Cecilia. Even if he is from another ducal family, I won’t tolerate you referring to Marius-sama in such a manner!”

“And you’re already head over heels for him!? What on earth happened in the past few days that I don’t know about!?”

“…Will you at least listen to me Cecilia…? I really want you to hear me as your childhood friend.”

Oh no… Lilia’s heart was on fire.

She grabbed Cecilia’s hand at lightning speed, and removed her hand that was holding mine.

“Eh? Really?… Okay, I’ll listen, but calm down a bit, Lilia… If you speak so loudly, then it will draw unnecessary attention.”

Perhaps hearing Lilia’s words, her attention finally focused on the various glances that began to flicker our way. 

Because we were in an area bustling with people. The number of people looking at us strangely was also large.

“Ah! I’m really sorry…”

“Just be careful next time. You’re the princess of this country… Now, let’s hear about how things developed with Marius so quickly.”

We soon returned to the topic at hand.

“I Understand. Where should I start… Ah yes, Cecilia, you know how important this is to me.”

Saying this, Lilia showed the pendant hanging from her neck.

“A locket pendant? If I recall, it’s a memento of the late second queen, right?”

“Yes, you are right… Actually, I dropped this cherished pendant while walking around the town…”

“What? You always keep it close to you… So, how is that possible?”

“You have good intuition, Cecilia. As you might have guessed, while I was distressed over the lost pendant, I happened to meet Marius-sama, who was also in the same town.”

Lilia’s cheeks turned red as she continued.

“Marius-sama reached out to help me in my distress and remarkably found the pendant for me!”

“I can’t believe it… That man, who only thinks of himself, helped you find your pendant? Or did he hide it himself? He might have surely done something like that just to get engaged to you.”

Hey, that’s rude of you again.

“That’s a terrible accusation. I never thought that I’d get engaged to Lilia either. Honestly, I still think it’s a heavy burden.”

“Lilia!? You are calling her by her first name!? That’s disrespectful!”

“You are also calling her by her first name too… It’s her preference. If you don’t like it, then convince her.”

I glanced at Lilia after saying that, who was smiling serenely and she continued after me.

“No, that is not going to happen… Even if Cecilia asks, that’s something I can’t agree to.”

“There you have it.”

“I feel a bit irked. Can I punch him once?”

That’s so unreasonable.

“Stop it.”

Even if she’s a girl, it would hurt after getting punched. 

Besides, knowing her personality, she’d definitely aim for my face.

“Is it really just because he found the pendant that you decided to get engaged with him? Isn’t that a bit rash?”

“That’s not true. At that moment, Marius-sama was like a prince from a storybook.”

She was romanticizing it too much. I can’t believe she would make such a big deal of that single encounter.

What was going on in Lilia’s mind regarding me?

“This guy and a storybook prince? And now that we’re talking, he’s surprisingly acting normal. Where is that irritating and haughty guy?”

“I left him on the roadside. He probably won’t be coming back.”

“What are you, a dog or a cat? Are you trying to say you’ve become sensible?”

“Who knows… I’m not spoiled, that’s for sure. Think whatever you want.”

“Well… I’ll keep an eye on you to see when your mask falls off.”

“Keep an eye on me?”

What does she mean?

“Since you both are together… Are you both on a date?”

“Yes. We’re going to a clothing store where Marius-sama will pick some clothes specially for me!”

As she said, I’m scheduled to pick out clothes for her.

“I see. Then I’ll join your date. Is that okay, Lilia?”

“Cecilia will join our date…?”

“Of course not.”

Where did her common sense go?

“I don’t mind.”

You don’t mind?!

Is this an otherworldly perspective? 

If we were back on Earth, this would definitely lead to a conflict.

“Thank you, Lilia. Don’t worry. I’ll watch from a distance.”

“You can stay close if you like.”

“I won’t be that selfish. Besides, it’s better to observe from afar. Right, Marius?”

Don’t look at me.

“I don’t care. If Lilia’s fine with it, I have no objections.”

“Hmph! Acting all cool… Anyway, that’s it, so please continue your date.”

With that, Cecilia stepped back to where the maids were. Once again, it was just Lilia and me.

“Well… I understand. Shall we continue, Marius-sama? Mei, lead us to the store.”

“Understood. This way, please.”

Our already large group grew even larger. Now essentially a small crowd, we set off for a shopping trip under the guise of a date.

Not that it matters, but Cecilia glaring at me from behind was really annoying. 

I’d have liked to ask her to be more considerate.
