CHAPTER 29
"What shopping?"
I rubbed my eyes to see if Daphne is really here and stood up from the floor where I fell down.
So she's really here. The villainess.
"Shopping! I'm going to buy a bunch of dresses, buy new accessories and book an appointment!"
She count her fingers thinking of the things she wants to buy.
"Oh! Is that so? Good luck buying those then!"
I yawned before lying back in my bed to get back from my sleep and pull back my blanket to me.
"Wait! Didn't I told you to come with me? WE are going shopping!"
She removes the blanket from me and shake me to wake up.
"I didn't agree! Can I ask how did you manage to enter my room?"
"Oh~ I used my gift!"
She took an empty small elixir bottle from her uniform's pocket and pointed the door's lock that looks like it was spilled by strong acid that causes the door knob to melt.
"What the heck did you do to my door?!"
I rushed towards my room's door.
"You know you can just knock the door"
I told her clearly annoyed and narrowing my eyes.
"Huh? But I usually do this in our mansion then the next day it's repaired"
She said looking innocently at the melted door knob.
This spoiled villainess! She used her own Poison-mixing gift! Basically, she can't make healing elixirs but only bad ones which is fit for a villainess. Elixirs that are acidic, poisonous and can make someone's body paralyzed.
"You know what? Just make sure that this door is repaired today, alright?"
I told her.
She's the one who broke it, she'll pay for it. Besides, she's stinking rich anyway.
"How dare you command me what to do! Do you know that you should be happy that Daphne Il Viva is inviting you to go shopping with her, you should be honored!"
She argues.
Both of my index fingers are plugged in the hole of my ear to withstand of her loud voice.
"Are you done?"
I asked her.
"Wha..?"
"Don't you have friends that can come with you?"
Yeah, like her followers? Instead of bothering my sleep.
"..."
She didn't say anything.
Then that answers it. No.
"Fine, I'll come with you...but you need to find someone to fix this"
For sure, my mother will get angry at me if she receives a letter from the academy that I damaged a property of them.
"And next time, you can just knock on my door! Didn't your parents told you that trespassing is wrong?"
I crossed my arms and raised one of my brows.
"...My parents are not always home..."
She quietly said looking away.
Ah! Oh yeah...I forgot about that, now I feel horrible.
"Sorry! Just give me more time to dress up, then I'll come with you"
"Alright! I'll put a bunch of perfume so hurry up and don't make me wait!"
She told me like she's ordering me.
I dressed up using the school's uniform. They said that as long you are inside the academy, you must wear your uniform even when there are no classes, that rule also goes for faculties.
Ughh...why did I agree anyway? She looks like she really wants to go, I'm weak to those kind of things.
I'm the type of person who can't say no easily to someone.
...
"How much is this?"
Daphne went to another jewelry shop as soon as we got out from the last one.
"That'll be three gold coins, my lady!"
What?! Three gold coins for a small rose brooch? That's half of my month's budget! It's equivalent to thirty thousand bronze coins! Commoners takes about a year of hard work to earn that amount of money.
But Daphne isn't that dumb. She won't buy this overpriced brooch that easi-
"Alright, let me buy this one then!"
She happily took the brooch and gave the salesman three gold coins.
"Ahhh..."
What the?! She just gave off that three gold coins so easily?!
"Are you sure you want to buy that?"
I asked her.
"Yes!!! It's so sparkly and red rose designs are my favorite, besides it's quite cheap"
Quite cheap?! I know my family's rich too but I didn't know that the Il Viva is that rich! Maybe that's why he is the crown prince's fiancee and came from the richest noble family in Bogdan.
By this time, her parents are already divorced and her brother just became the head of the family last year so maybe she's spending her time wasting away her money.
Well not that I complain, if I had that money I might also splurge it to something I like.
"Shall we head to another shop?"
She asked me.
"Wait, you're still not done?"
In the end, Daphne bought a bunch of new dresses and accessories. I'm the one helping her carry all the bags, did she really want me to shop with her? Or just want me to carry all the things she bought?
"I'll take this, that, and all of these dresses!"
She pointed out a bunch of dresses in different racks and even pointed at the whole section of dresses with rose designs on it.
"Can I ask why you love rose so much?"
I asked her.
"I'm glad you ask, you see..."
Asking her why she loves roses is a bad idea. She told me every small detail and talk about how the prince told her that she reminds him of a red rose.
"I originally loved white ones but since my prince told me that red rose suits me more so I start loving red roses!"
So she originally prefer white ones but because of that sadistic flirty male lead, she begins to love red ones.
"Why not both colors?"
I suggested. She looks at me surprised and then think.
"Hmmm..I didn't thought of that, maybe I'll try loving it both!"
She smiled.
Whoa! She's shining! My eyes hurt! But...usually the smile of a villainess is wicked and creepy but what I'm saying right now is a genuine smile of a young girl inlove.
It makes me wonder why she became a villainess in the novel. What made her become like that? Well she still likes to insult others and tend to be overconfident though. What Daphne wants, Daphne gets.
In short...
She's spoiled.
"By the way, aren't you going to buy atleast one dress?"
She asked me since I'm only looking at things and not buy them.
"No, no! I already have a dress I can wear!"
"Ewww, old dress? It's an acquaintance party! Buy atleast one!"
She told me with a disgusted and disappointed face.
"Fine, I'll buy one!"
Jeez.
I looked around and saw a purple ballgown. One that is not too dazzling but something I think that is perfect for me.
"I'll take this one"
So there we go, I told myself that I won't buy anything when I agrred to go shopping with Daphne but I really love the dress so maybe buying one dress is alright. I'm still saving money for my life plan, you know.
"Be honored that you went shopping with me!"
Daphne proclaimed after we went back to our dorm room.
"Oh yes~ I'm honored!"
I smiled to her nodding with a sarcastic tone.
"I'll go take a bath now then sleep"
"Wait, come to my room later"
"Why?"
"Just be here! No more questions!"
She told me trying to push me away now.
"Sure..."
After taking a bath, I called my parents who asked me if I bought a new dress and I told them that I did. They called Sara and she was flooding stream of tears in her face and said she misses me. I told her I missed her too, I promised that we'll go out more often when I go back home.
An hour of chatting with my parents and Sara has finally ended so I decided to go to Daphne's room before I go to sleep. Daphne even booked us an appointment earlier too so a hair stylist and make-up artist will come to our dorm room tomorrow.
I went to Daphne's room and knock quietly. I took the door knob and realize that it's open.
"Good evening, I'm coming in-Gahhh!"
When I entered her room, I saw her face covered with a green mud-like mask with one slice of cucumber in each eye.
"Why didn't you knock on the door?"
She removes both cucumber in her eyes to face me.
"The door is open and you are not answering so..."
I scratched my head.
"Yes, I called you here right? Here"
She took a small box from her vanity drawer and gave it to me.
"What is this?"
I asked her.
"Open it!"
She told me.
"A ribbon?"
I saw a purple bow ribbon hair accesory with a sparkly blue jewel in the middle.
"What am I going to do with this?"
I asked her. She sighed.
"It's because you helped me today so I'm giving you a present"
"But you didn't need to!"
"I always give gifts to my friends whenever they do something for me!"
She proudly said.
Wait. So her friends are only trying to be with her because she always gives them gifts?
"I can't take this, but thank you anyway!"
I put the ribbon back to the box and give it to her.
"Awww, why?! People like it whenever I gave them gifts!"
"You know, if that person really wants to help you then that person shouldn't expect something from you to receive back. Look, I just went with you today because you asked me to, don't just give people gifts!"
I lectured her.
"But...but! I just thought this will look good at your dress! The color matches well"
She looks down at the box I gave back to her.
"Then if you don't want it...I might as well destroy it"
She sighed taking a large scissor from the drawer.
"Hey! You don't need to do that! Fine, I'll take it!"
I hurriedly took the hair accessory from her hand.
"Really?"
"Yes, just don't do this gifting people stuff anymore! Only give them gifts when they are having a celebration or as your congratulatory gift!"
"Alright...I'll try"
She told me.
"Thank you for the ribbon"
I thanked her before leaving her room and finally going to sleep.
The next day, the hairstylist and makeup artist that Daphne booked an appointment to went to our dorm room and gave us a makeover.
"Wow..."
I looked at myself in the mirror after they did my makeup and hair.
It's really different from Sara's skills! These people are really professionals! They braided the fringe of my hair and tied it in the back to reveal my ears with purple pearl earrings that also matches my dress. I put the ribbon that Daphne gave me on the left side of my head.
"Not bad! You look ten percent prettier than before! I'm glad you wore my present!"
Daphne who looks like a beautiful goddess with her red dress full of roses told me. The beauty of a villainess is really different compared to an extra like me.
"But not as pretty as me though"
She told me while laughing using her signature villainess laugh.
Haha...funny.
We went together in the large banquet hall of the academy where a lot of students are looking at the two of us. It is a tradition to go together with your roommate when there is a celebration party at the academy.
My friends are not here yet but I was surprised when someone suddenly hugged me from behind.
"Wha-? Kayle?!"
Kayle was the one who hugged me.
"You smell different"
He teased me while sniffing and smelling my hair.
"Get off"
I remove his hands from mine and saw that he has crumbs of food in his left side of his lip.
"You're like a child, I thought you knew etiquette?"
Since he likes doing etiquette stuffs and manners when we were just a child.
"I'm actually trying to escape from my roommate, his room is very messy! You know how I feel about dirty things. He shoved a bunch of food in my mouth earlier when I refused to eat anything that can make me gain weight!"
He says disgusted.
"I only see boys! I can't take it anymore so I need you right now to remove those boys' stench!"
He hugs me again that I can't breathe anymore.
"Stop it, let me wipe this"
I removed his arms again and took a dirty yellow handkerchief from my purse and wipe the crumbs from his face.
He looks a bit surprised at my sudden action that I see a visible faint blush on his cheeks.
Is he shy? How adorable.
"You really treat me like a kid, don't you?"
He whispered looking away.
"Well of course, you're like a little brother to me"
He always reminds me of my younger brothers in my other life as Princess Delie.
"Delie, I--"
He put his hands on my shoulder and was about to say something when someone called out to him.
"Kayleeee!! There you are! Let's eat more!"
We look at the boy shouting at us and walking towards our direction waving a large loaf of bread.
"Ahhhh!!! I'm sorry Delie, I need to go!"
Kayle sprint away as soon as he saw him.
"Come back!"
The man kept chasing him.
I guess that's his roommate that he wants to escape from.
I can't still see my friends, well the program will just officially start anyway after an hour. Daphne is the one who feels so excited so we went so early.
I can feel someone staring at me from behind and saw the male lead disguised as Eros looking at me while sipping a drink talking or flirting with three girls.
"Why is he staring at me like that...?"
How creepy. His gaze is following me wherever I go inside the hall.
"That's it, I need to go to the veranda first to escape that cold gaze"
I hurriedly went outside the building's veranda to look up at the crescent moon.
"How can I survive being here? I hope I won't die here like how the original Delie did"
I muttered.
I saw a nearby long Victorian bench at the side of the veranda and decided to sit there. Since no one is here, I can just throw my high heeled shoes somewhere.
After I remove one of my heels and throw it behind me, I heard a loud bump. It's like my shoes bumped into something.
Oh sh*t! Did I threw it too strong?
What if it hit a person?
I look behind me and saw someone holding my heels with his hand up high infront of his face. He looks clearly angry.
It looks like my shoe hit his head. I quickly hide behind a pillar, no way! Why does he have to be the one?!
Why?
...The villain?!
