Confirming Elon's word.
The atmosphere instantly turned, chilling and venomous.
Looking at Elon with a stare that was more than enough to stab through him, killing him a hundred times,if eyes were sword. Amelia turned silent with as her expression contorted, her fear and worry during the past few days finally came to pass.
Loads of stampeding anger and hate stormed through her heart, to her very soul, like a volcano unleashing it's outrage,following the disgusting feeling and irritation she felt that sent shivers through her body.
Amelia couldn't help but imagine, where the weak, cowardly, spineless,trash, stupid, bastard, useless, scum, idiot, foolish, damned Elon who couldn't look her straight in the eyes all this years, trembling whenever they meet as he avoided her on every path, the damned bastard son of the Grand Duke that was always bullied , bad-mouthed and scorned.. using all sorts of venomously devastating curse and hateful names she could find. Yet this same bastard suddenly had the guts and courage to directly tell her he was here to blackmail her.
The reality of someone you considered to weak, lowly and beneath you to suddenly rise up and challenge you was a big shameful insult… This rarely seen type of emotion currently travelled through her very veins, spreading through her body as it sent her into another level of intense trembling…
… Like a volcano , the intense feelings in her heart finally erupted, taking fast quick steps towards Elon, ignoring the hindrance of the gown she wore, her palm swept downwards with the speed of lightning,too fast,too swift,too sudden, what could be more faster than a woman's hand in slapping, even the fastest DC comic hero from Elon's previous world,a.k.a Flash would lose to them in this category…
But who was Elon?
Barely using his strength, Elon instantly gripped her outstretched palm half way downwards, as deathly silence filled the library.
Seeing Elon's smile vanish from his face, a sense of terror instantly overcame her squashing the little feeling of trump in her heart that hoped to put him back in his place.
Just then, a sharp glimmer flash through Elon's eyes,his temperament undergoing a total change and awakening.
Meanwhile Amelia seeing this, the former terrifying visage of Elon's ghost like eyes that sent chills through her spine a week ago appeared in her mind.
Coming to a sudden realization she began to notice the shocking transformation Elon had gone through, something that she had previously ignored due to the intense varying degrees of emotions she previously felt.
But now… It couldn't be more shocking.
Starting from Elon's previously dull skin tone,the last time she saw him. Elon now had a very fair natural skin tone , his face rosier and brimming with vigor of youth as it seemed to have fully recovered it's lost vitality through the devastating experience he had been through in the past few weeks.
Containing no trace of the drained expression,with a pair of black sack beneath his eyes he had back then, similar to a ghost that had risen from the underworld.
Though his dark luster hair, like that of the night still retained their special effects, looking as eye catching as ever same with his eyes, his skin in particular gave her the subtle feeling of defined brightness and smoothness.
And as a lady, this alone couldn't be more shocking than that of the things she was yet to notice.
Watching dumbstruck, as Elon held her hand mid-air while taking confident steps toward her, silence reigned.
Amelia couldn't help it but become overwhelmed by shock and a sudden hint of fear,while also taking several steps in retreat as she struggled to release her arm from his grip ,which Elon suddenly did.
Instantly,she was forced to believe that Elon had changed, except for the tiny bit of hope, that the Elon before her was just an imposter. Which was hundred percent true.
…
Even after experiencing several waves of shock, Amelia was quick to recover her composure due to the many noble lady's lessons she had taken,which made her more adept in schemes and controlling her emotions,as most noble lords usually have more than one wife and several concubines, a scheming mind was what it took for one to vai for the top.
Seeing the sudden change in temperament of the young noble lady before, Elon revealed smirk, nodding his head as if confirming something.
[1]
With a playful smile on his, staring Amelia who was probably searching for a word to retort,Elon said:
[1]
"To the public you are a well trained young lady, unlike your counterparts. Following the etiquette of a noble lady and adhering to it's principles, cultured and well mannered, her father's pride."
"...To sum it up , a saint and a role model." pointing at the books in shelf beside him, Elon demonstrated with his outstretched hands.
"Two"
"Meanwhile, in reality away from the public eyes. You are just as arrogant, prideful and ignorant of the world as every other noble. Priding their self above others, thinking they are special, and as if they own the world or the world only revolves around them."
"A total Illusion, you think you are any different?"
Ruthlessly punching her ego Elon dropped the book he had picked up from one of the shelves.
Seeing this, the flames of fury already burning in Amelia's heart flared up even more.
"Just…"
"Three!" Elon instantly cut her short before she could retort.
"You are a bitch…"
Silence…
"You almost fucked your best friend… as I was told… fiance."
"A three face, dick loving bitch, that's what you are!" Elon said breaking the oppressive atmosphere, while leaving Amelia speechless.
…
Though burning with overwhelming rage and hatred in her heart, there was nothing she could do to the new Elon who stood before her, and for unknown reason she also felt scared of him.
While trying to regain her calm from the blazing hatred in her heart, Amelia managed to calm down, looking at Elon with a sudden look of realization in her eyes.
"Hahaha…"
"Hahaha…"
"Hahaha…"
After three venomous laughter, Amelia's gaze changed to that of a very confident and bold one, with no trace of fear or her previous flaring emotions , surprising Elon who had not expected it.
"Where are your evidence?"
"Infact who will believe you, a spineless bastard like you",Amelia said with a victorious smile on her face, as she revealed the reason for her sudden boldness.
"LMAO" Elon said, stunning Amelia with this unfamiliar word as she revealed a puzzled expression different from her former victorious smile, not understanding the reason for Elon's unbothered expression, even smiling after she revealed her cards.
Instantly,a huge wave of panic traveled through her heart as she tried to figure out the reason for Elon's calmness.
'It can't be right?...'
'No!' Amelia thought, instantly rejecting her previous thought that Elon had any evidence of the incident, after all he left before her.
What more there was no evidence or what so ever, there was no way Elon could have gotten his hands on her underwear that day, and the maids should have already washed it since then.
'No!' Amelia screamed in her subconsciousness, as she erased all possiblity of Elon having found any proof. Though it eased her worries by denying this possiblity, she couldn't erase the little panic and unease that remained in her heart no matter what.
Looking at Amelia's expression which went through varying degrees of change several times in the past few seconds, Elon grinned, but to Amelia it look more like the smile of a devil's scion.
"Evidence..?"
"My words are evidence" Elon said stunning Amelia into a daze.
"Bastard!" Amelia instantly cursed Elon for playing with her emotions.
But Elon continued without minding, an animal caught in a trap was already dead anyway …
"Let me tell you this Amelia; wether you believe it or not doesn't matter…"
"If I was to tell everyone that I caught you and Henry together in the midst of an act… who do you think they are more likely to believe?"
"Me?... or you?" Elon said adjusting his sleeves with a playful smile on his face as silence reigned within the library.
"M.. N..no! That's impossible who will believe a spineless bastard like you" Amelia struggled to say as she came to a sudden realization with widened eyes.
Cutting her short, Elon said:
"Thankfully you are so smart, buh that won't save you though."
"What would you think if the spineless weak bastard son of the Grand duke suddenly expose such a huge secret?"
"Perhaps you don't know how much of a influence I have within the capital or how popular I am within the capital"
"Bastard spineless son of the Grand Duke"
"My fame spreads far and wide."
"Or do think you can compare to me in this aspect?"
"Grand Dukes bastard son vs the daughter of a Marquis, who do you think they will believe?..."
Without waiting for Amelia who had already been sent into a daze to reply.
"Of course it would be the more popular one."
"Even if your stupid so called best friend stand by you, do you think they will believe you or trust you?"
"What more , since it's so rare for third year academy nobles to come to the academy daily, alot most have seen you present that day."
"Don't blame me though it's the prize for your awe-inspiring beauty, standing out like a crane amongst chickens."
"Lmao" Elon said using the strange term once again.
"As for Henry, I bet he would be even more eye catching, since the bastard suddenly came to the academy that day, a huge surprise for thrid year nobles."
"So now do you believe?" stopping as he looked at the dazed Amelia.
…
Thinking back to how she had previously verified Elon being present that day, Amelia couldn't be more horrified, with just this alone Elon was more than capable of finishing her.
Screaming "No that's impossible! No one will believe you bastard!" Amelia screamed.
…
Seeing her so shaken for the first time Elon smiled even more, as he decided to crush her even more.
As someone from earth, thanks to the help and existence of the internet unlike this world, Elon had grown exposed to many things such as fight between celebrities, infact the internet was never a boring place.
"But of course there is always a easier way to all this, way much easier than the first , more believable , a better short cut" Elon said.
"As you know my infamous fame goes without saying."
"So after exposing the truth, I'll say I was threatened with a knife pointed at my throat to stay quiet or if not I would be silenced, but due to how unjust it felt for me to have the friend of my goddess backstabbed, I later found the courage to speak out."
"Wouldn't that be more convincing, the spineless bastard threatened, such sounds like something they would do, after all every one knows how spineless Elon is."
"And as for the final consequences, you would have the whole of your painstakingly built reputation totally destroyed, your value as a noble lady decreased by a huge margin, perhaps becoming a fifth wif..." but before Elon could complete his statement Amelai suddenly shouted.
"Bastard! What do you want?!" Amelia shouted, breathing heavily as her chest both rose up and down without pause.
Smirk…
"I also want to have a taste, so tonight , west burrow, blackhound street, first building."
"Remember, your reputation is at risk"
Without waiting for Amelia to react Elon left the library.
…
"Bastard!!!!" a few seconds after Elon left the library, Amelia's shout reached him, thankfully he had escaped quickly leaving her no choice but to do his will.
