Re: The Villainess Does It With Class

Chapter 58 - House Visit Pt. 2



The four of them squeezed themselves into the doorway and were all looking at us with one smirking proudly. And I meant Eon, by the way.

"We came in peace," Eon stated and bowed like a gentleman that he's not.

'I doubt it.'

"What-- I mean, why are you guys here so early in the morning?" I inquired.

I'm not gonna ask them what they came here for because I know it already. The four of them came closer to us, crowding the room.

"It's still morning? But it's already quarter to 12," Noah pointed out. He was wearing casual clothes today and it actually suits him.

I grinned at them, "That's still early, and it's technically morning either."

"You really have an answer to everything huh," Conrad commented and shakes his head.

'What can I do? I am special this way.'

I looked at them one by one. 

"Did you guys plan this or what?"

"Well, we did. My sister was just too eager to come here so she went ahead of us," Eon answered on their behalf.

"Our sisters," Conrad interjects and glanced at Bea.

Ah, speaking of Gwen... 

I glanced at the lady in front of me and saw her fidgeting. Fufufufufu~ Whenever Conrad is near, she gets all jittery like this. How cute.

I turned my attention back to them again.

"How about we move to the West Hall? It's getting crowded in here," I declared and stood up from my chair.

"Welp, sorry 'bout that," Luther apologized.

"It's okay. I am grateful that you all came here for my sake," I said and offered them one of my genuine smiles.

'It is true. I really am thankful for visiting me.'

All of us then made our way to the West room, which is much bigger than the former one and could host more than ten people at once. As soon as we situated ourselves on the sofas, they began to get chaotic. 

"We didn't come empty-handed," Luther said and nudged Eon on his side.

"Right! We brought your favorite cake from that famous cafe-- Oh Shit!" Eon exclaimed, "I forgot to bring it!" he gasped out then scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Why did we entrust the gift to him again?" Conrad sighed and leaned back.

"Oh man…" Noah mumbled.

Eon then grinned sheepishly, "Oh well. You're full anyway…" was his reply.

"Idiot…" Gwen whispered and rolled her eyes at her brother.

Eon perked up in defense, "What? I was rushing here to see Nadia so I forgot!"

'I doubt it.'

"Then what are we going to do?" Luther voiced out and stared at the others in question.

Eon clicked his tongue, "What else? We came here to check on her and not only feed her cake."

Conrad looked at him in amazement, "Wow, Eon. You said something that makes sense. Congrats!" then patted his back.

"What do you mean by that?!" Eon exclaimed with a frown on his face.

"I am so proud of you," Luther muttered, joining in as well.

A smile escaped my lips. They are starting again. I kind of missed their senseless banter. My day would not be completed without witnessing it.

"I brought something else though," Noah suddenly voiced out and handed me a box. "It's cookies. I tried baking but…" he then averted his eyes to the side.

I gladly accepted it, "Thank you, Noah~"

"I should have brought something too…" Gwen muttered beside me as she eyed the box in my hand.

'Your presence is enough, Gwen.'

Bea shuffled in her seat and then handed me a tiny wooden box which made me blink in surprise. 

"Gift…" she whispered which was almost inaudible.

I clasped it in my hands as well, getting too emotional from all the pampering they are giving me.

"I knew it. I really should have brought something!" Gwen uttered with a pout.

'This is not a competition. Don't get fired up for wrong reasons, Gwen.'

'That's what makes her 'her' anyway…'

"So Nadia, are you okay now?" Conrad asked after a while. 

'Heh~ Of course, I am. I'm a strong independent beautiful woman after all.'

Conrad perhaps saw my expression, or read my mind because he immediately added something.

"Okay, that was a dumb question. You clearly look fine judging from that proud smirk on your face."

Wah-- 

"She really is smirking," Luther commented as he looked at me.

"I bet she's thinking of something along the lines of pretty and cool," Eon chimed and made a tsk sound.

I also forgot to add that they enjoyed teasing me as well. Just because I was the only girl in the council! 

"Our little sister is such a haughty brat," Conrad joined in and shook his head in disapproval.

This too. One day, they just started calling me their little sis. Maybe because Nathan would grill their behinds if they even think of something funny. 

My eyes rolled heavenward but said nothing. I am guilty anyway.

Mari then chose that moment to suddenly burst in while looking frantic, as if she had joined and ran on a marathon.

'Let me guess. Another guest, ain't it?'

"Milady! Prince Ezekiel had come! His Highness' carriage just rolled inside the gates!" She announced.

'Oh, cousin visits me as well? Everyone sure is visiting one by one, I feel flattered and important...'

The room remained calm with only her panicking. She must have noticed that we were not as nervous as her so she instantly straightened her back and masked her expression. 

"I will prepare refreshments," she then bowed and retreated from the hall.

After she was gone and the room had become silent again, the chaos ensued.

"That damn Ezekiel, coming in here late and creating a ruckus," Eon muttered with gritted teeth.

'I don't think you should curse a crown prince though.'

"He is such a flashy bastard," Conrad agreed with him as he narrowed his dark eyes.

'Ah, Why do I bother? They were always like this whenever prying ears are not around, even from before. I should be used to this by now....'
