Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant

The next day in the morning, Horeo and Miriette came to see Zoemi...

"...!"

As soon as the door to the room opened and the future royal couple have entered, the gold-haired prince froze in place staring wide-eyed at the black-haired attendant doing his best to fix his bedhair.

Even though he was warned by both Veo and Patishi – seeing the healed-up Zoemi in person was just too much!

...to think that the gold-haired prince was going to make fun of his fiancee's reaction to the black-haired boy's 'new' appearance just to be the first one to fall victim to it...!

"What are you doing, my prince? Please, proceed!"

"You little...!"

Miriette still stuck outside furrowed her brows and prodded the prince's side with her finger, making him jump and turn to her with a completely bright red face – but it wasn't red from anger, Horeo was blushing.

"Eh...? Why are you...?"

Miriette gasped in shock leaning back while weirded out – the gold-haired prince was told about the fact that Zoemi was healed, but in turn, Teo didn't speak a word about it to the dark-haired girl...

Hearing the future royal couple bicker made the black-haired boy feel this peculiar bitter-sweet feeling – as an attendant, he was happy that his master's relationship was seemingly going well but as a man...

...there certainly was a part of his personality that has awakened after the ugly burn-scar stopped deforming his face – and it was a part that considered himself as a worthy partner for the dark-haired girl...

"My prince, my lady – please, feel free to enter."

But in the end, Zoemi quickly shoved these feelings in the back of his head - the first prince and young lady Espine came to see him with a specific reason in mind after all – and the black-haired boy was aware of that.

"My prince... is something the matter...?"

|You are being such an annoying nuisance – MOVE! I want to see my Zoemi!|

Meanwhile, Miriette blocked by the gold-haired prince prodded the gold-haired boy's side with a soft smile on her face – but a murderous glare in her eyes.

"..."

Horeo squinted his eyes at her and glanced back at the slightly confused Zoemi before hurriedly looking away from him and smiling mockingly at the furious Miriette.

"Sure – please, my love."

The gold-haired prince nodded to his fiancee and stepped aside making a way for her.

"Thank you, my prince."

"..."

The dark-haired girl politely bowed her head and stepped on Horeo's toes while gracefully passing by him with a bashfully lowered head.

"My lady – I've heard that you've got a cold, how are you feeling?"

Zoemi asked, feeling his heart beating slightly faster as he remembered his own bold and very inappropriate act from the other day.

|Wait... She wasn't awake yesterday... Was she...?|

The sudden thought hit the black-haired boy like a speeding truck – or a certain flying motorbike – and made his insides tie into a knot.

|She would react or me calling her – or at least at getting kissed... right? Oh no, what if she was simply frozen from shock from me being so outrageously inappropriate?! What if she hates me now?!|

Since the dark-haired girl still didn't raise her head – too busy snickering at the gold-haired boy shaking off the dust from the shoe she stepped on – Zoemi started fearing the worst possible outcome.

But then...

"Do not worry about me, Zoemi – it wasn't even a real cold, I just stayed up a little too late and felt slightly..."

Miriette finally responded, raising her head and gracing the distressed boy with a cheerful smile – until she actually got a good look on his healed-up face and...

"...faint... fuaah..."

"M-my lady?!"

"Wait – seriously?!"

...got bright red as a tomato and ACTUALLY fainted – causing the black-haired boy to jump out of his bed to catch her hands while the shocked Gold-haired prince stepped forward and supported her back.

"My lady?! My lady!"

Zoemi gasped in panic, putting his hand to the girl's face to check whether she was breathing or not, and lightly shook her shoulders.

"Pf-pfffft...!"

Meanwhile, Horeo was having a time of his life – barely able to hold back a burst of laughter.

"My prince- what is going on? Did my lady force herself to come here even though she was still unwell?!"

Zoemi gasped, making a worried expression, and asked – gently taking Miriette's unconscious body away from Horeo and moving her to the bed that he himself had just left.

"Well – you could say that it's because of a sickness – but certainly not the one you have in mind – she will be fine."

The first prince managed to regain control over his expression and voice and assured the anxious attendant in a calm voice.

"Not the one I have in mind...?"

Zoemi caringly tucked the dark-haired girl in, making she doesn't have a few, and looked at Horeo in confusion.

|It's love sickness, you thick-headed fool.|

Horeo sighed to himself – but certainly wasn't going to say that out loud.

"I think that she couldn't handle your current appearance – she's just an... innocent maiden, you know?"

...was what the gold-haired boy said instead...

"Wha...?! My prince – have I actually become so hideous that my lady fainted at mere sight...?!"

"..."

Zoemi gasped and Horeo barely stopped himself from hiding his face in his arms – the black-haired attendant could be so dense sometimes that it physically hurt...

"...does this place not have a mirror or something...?"

Horeo ended up saying while shaking his head in disbelief – making the black-haired boy tilt his head like a confused puppy.

"Of course, there's a mirror, my prince – her it is right he... Oh... OOOOHHHH...!"

Zoemi shrugged his shoulders and walked up to Miriette's desk, pointing at the mirror set up on top of it – before he briefly glanced at his own reflection, and then promptly took a double-take, staring at himself in utter shock – and realization.

"You seriously haven't even looked at yourself?"

Horeo asked raising his brows and approaching the black-haired boy from behind until he too showed up in the mirror.

"I-I didn't – I usually avoid looking straight at my face..."

Zoemi answered absentmindedly – looking at himself with teary eyes and touching his healed-up face almost so gently as if he expected it to be a mask that could fall of at any time.

"...nnn..."

"!!!"

"...?"

Suddenly – Miriette made a soft sound and twitched, which clearly indicated that she will regain her consciousness soon, which broke Zoemi from his trance and rush to her side so fast that Horeo had to step back or he would get shoved aside.

"My lady, are you okay?!"

The black-haired attendant gasped, crouching by the bed, grasping the sheet while nervously observing the dark-haired girl's face.

"...nnn...? Z-Zoemi...?"

Miriette's eyelids trembled and she made another cute noise before muttering her attendant's name.

"Yes, my lady – I am here."

Zoemi responded with a soft smile...

"Zoe-MI?!"

The dark-haired girl opened her eyes and suddenly gasped – getting wide-eyed the moment she had a second look of the black-haired boy's face and then she...

"...fua-fuaaaah...!"

...ended up fainting once again, falling softly right back on the bed...

"MY LADY...?!"

"Pfffft...!"

...which of course caused two completely opposite reactions from the black and gold-haired boys...
