Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant

Chapter 224 – 70 – Congratulations, You Pissed Off The First Prince, Now What…? (part 2)

"Lord Derizno, it's an honor to see you."

"…"

Unbothered, Zoemi showed his professionalism as a trained attendant and bowed his back splendidly – although he didn't deactivate his discreet enchantments at all…

"Ah… Espine's attendant, you are here too, I don't pay attention to trivial things."

Xeonith responded, with a dismissive scoff as if he didn't consider the black-haired bo to be worthy of his attention.

"My lord, that's not a problem at all! As an attendant, it is my duty to take care of any unpleasant situation that might bother my master, no matter how annoying and pathetic it may be. What can I help you with?"

"…!"

Zoemi easily threw a shade at the brown-haired boy while managing to stay completely professional and technically in the clear…

…displaying that professional sassiness that his teacher liked to boast about…

|Now that I think about it, he might be quite an interesting teacher…|

Zoemi recalled head-butler of the Espine's household while innocently looking into Xeonith's angry eyes, playing the perfect fool.

"Sir Derizno, it is not a common occurrence to see you here and I guess that's because you have something exceedingly important to discuss. What may I help you with?"

Horeo chimed in and asked with impeccable manners taking charge of the conversation and taking the Xeonith's attention away from the black-haired boy.

"No, just a few trivial things that I wanted to deal with, using the fact that I was passing by anyway, really. Student supervisor duties and whatnots."

The brown-haired boy smirked and straightened his back, clearly satisfied that he was around an inch taller than the gold-haired prince, which allowed him to physically look down on him to some extent.

"…?"

"…"

Horeo and Miriette raised their brows and looked at each other hearing the piece of news that had managed to fly under their radar.

Xeonith wasn't someone who would spout lies in public – he had too much to lose to do such reckless things, which meant that it must have been true.

That said, what did a student's supervisor have to say to the perfect first prince?

"My lord, it was a pleasure to meet you here."

Zoemi who thought that Xeonith came to ask for help with completing his duties bowed towards the brown-haired youth.

"I'm terribly sorry, but I have to leave now, I need to prepare the meal for my master. My lady, my prince, lord Derizno, if you excuse me."

"No."

The black-haired attendant spoke calmly and was about to turn away when suddenly Xeonith turned grabbed his shoulder in an attempt to stop him from doing so, to the extent of even activating his enchantments…

After all, the earth magicians were supposed to be the strongest in close combat – if not counting variants, ice magicians in particular – so the brown-haired boy didn't expect any resistance while he put his hand on the attendant's shoulder…

"Ugh…!!"

That's why a gasp of shock escaped the unprepared Xeonith's mouth when he ended up getting thrown off balance because he couldn't stop the leaving black-haired boy.

"!!!!!"

"!!!!!"

"?!?!?!??!?!???!?!?!!"

Horeo and Miriette froze in complete shock while the heroine who almost made it to the door straight up tripped and was staring at the two boys in utter disbelief from above the desk of another student.

"My lord? Is something the matter?"

Truth be told, Zoemi lost one-fourth of his mana on that feat, but his shadow enchantments ended up taking the overconfident earth magician by surprise.

Judging by the face Xeonith was making, Zoemi might have been the first person who ever managed to achieve that.

"HMPH! I told you to stay, attendant, and you will stay!"

The so-called pride of the earth magicians stepped up to Zoemi going all in his face, and grimacing furiously while realizing that he is shorter than the black-haired attendant – and ended up grabbing his vest with one hand.

"…"

In response to that Zoemi stayed quiet, looking at Xeonith's face from the distance far shorter than he ever wanted to, and his eyes lost their light, giving his expression a threatening aura.

Zoemi using up one-fourth of his overall mana in one go wasn't enough to push him into mana depletion, but it certainly sent him in a peculiar mood…

"What is the meaning of that!? What are you trying to do with my attendant!?"

*tap*

Miriette stood up and furiously smacked her hands against the desk – the hair on the back of her head bristled in anger, but she controlled herself well enough to not activate her enchantments subconsciously which resulted in a rather weak sound and nowhere near the effect she wanted to achieve…

"Derizno, what is the meaning of this behavior? If you don't let go of my dear friend, the school will have to find yet another student's supervisor very soon."

Horeo was no less agitated, and although his face looked calm and he didn't raise his voice, the words that he used could be hardly mistaken for anything other than a clear threat.

"Well, I can't have him go, one of those trivial things I mentioned has something to do with him after all."

Xeonith composed himself and stepped away from the black-haired attendant, trying to play it off as if his actions were completely normal.

He even shrugged his shoulders dismissively.

"…"

Zoemi was the only person who didn't show any outward emotions and simply straightened his clothes, crumpled by the uninvited contact.

"You…!"

"My love, I know Zoemi is your attendant, but Derizno came to me. I would be grateful if you let me handle this from this point."

Miriette gritted her teeth and hissed, looking like a furious cat, and was about to tell Xeonith what does she thinks about him and his things but Horeo extended his arm in front of her and stopped her, seemingly back to his calm and composed self.

"…pfft…! Ohohohoho! My prince, it would be a pleasure seeing your famous negotiation skills in action!"

The dark-haired girl flinched and raised her brows in shock over the gold-haired boy's action, but ended up raising her hand to her mouth and letting out a rather content laugh before nodding and smiling confidently at her fiance.

"…?"

This was intriguing enough to make a light return into Zoemi's eyes, as the interested attendant tilted his head and turned towards the prince too.

"Derizno, tell us about your reasoning for your uncouth outburst, whether or not it will be a good enough excuse will decide the next course of action."

Satisfied hore faced the transcended earth magician and said calmly, but his eyes were shining threateningly enough to betray his real thoughts.

"Student Burushiitto – you are also not advised to leave this classroom, this is about you too, after all."

"!?!?!?!?!"

Suddenly, Xeonith called out in a domineering voice without even turning around to look at the terrified blond girl who ended up freezing in place like a deer in the headlights of the oncoming truck.

|STAY HERE OR YOU WILL REGRET IT!|

Burushi felt Xeonith's intention even without having him spell it out for her.

What was she supposed to do now…?

If he was the student's supervisor, it was better to listen to him, or else he could have found some reason to make them be alone and then…!

"…"

The blond girl trembled and glanced longingly towards the door – if she didn't move so slow out of curiosity this would not have happened…

"…"

"…!"

But then, Burushi noticed that Zoemi was trying to get her attention – he winked at her and nodded reassuringly before motioning his chin at the first prince…

|What is that supposed to mean…?|

The heroine wondered in confusion.
