Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant

The door to the twin's room opened and Veo with her eyes red from tears leaned out and bowed her head to the stunned Zoemi.

"I-indeed...!"

Teo was clinging to her older sister's back but ended up glancing at the black-haired boy and nodded in confirmation...

The very girls he was worried sick told him they just don't want to see him.

Zoemi wanted to hide his face in his hands.

|Then why didn't you say so sooner!|

He wanted to scream but... He already caused way too much of a mess already – now was the time for damage control.

"Don't close that stupid door yet!"

"...!"

"...!"

Zoemi raised his hand pointing at the twins which made them flinch but they actually didn't back off and stayed in place - with very guilty expressions on their faces.

Then, the black-haired boy came over and glared down at them.

"I want to let you know that I am furious at both of you!"

"!!!"

He announced, watching the two girls tremble and lower their heads with tearful eyes.

"I am furious, but I don't hate you, and you definitely didn't fail me or anything, alright?"

Zoemi scoffed and reached out, touching both of their heads and tousling their short brown hair.

"!!!!!!!"

They trembled but say nothing too confused about what was happening.

"I am not some sort of a holy person, alright? I am actually quite bad. Don't put me on a pedestal that I do not deserve, because you will get disappointed. I tend to lose my temper rather easily, but as long as you don't hurt my master or anyone else close to me, I will never hate you for real. So calm down. Take a day or two off to compose yourselves and rest, and after that, I want to see both of you back in business, alright?"

The black-haired boy explained, looking expectantly at the twins, and judging by the color of their ears and necks, the two of them were blushing, which was – probably – a good sigh.

"Now, go back to sleep and in case you want to seal yourselves off from the world again, at least leave some air vents so that I will not have to worry myself to death."

He added, moving his hands from the girl's heads to their shoulders, spinning them around, and giving them a gentle push on the back, back into their room.

"Goodnight, my fellow idiots."

He waved at them and smirked.

"...goodnight..."

"...night... thank you..."

The girls responded timidly before he closed the door, which made them actually feel a lot better.

When he walked down the hallway he glanced at Sifra's door...

Zoemi knew that he will have to say sorry to that girl tomorrow in the classroom...

"...hmm..."

Maybe he should ask Patishi to help him bake some cookies for her as an apology for scaring her so much for nothing...?

That should work, after all, Patishi's cooking was the best!

"Oh well... I'll have to wake up so much earlier..."

He smiled to himself with satisfaction – the first prince's request was completed and his master's safety was assured...

Since he got quite lightheaded because of using a lot of his mana, he decided to call it a day as he was afraid that he would say something rude even to his master.

And that wasn't something that he could allow himself to do.

The black-haired boy walked through the corridor with a spring in his step and a good feeling in his heart.

The night started very sweet, then there was a troublesome moment, but in the end, everything was on a good path~!

...or so he naively thought...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, back in her room, Sifra Ralia was trembling, hiding in her bed.

"...uuu..."

She cried ou, nervously lowering her blanket to see whether the scary classmate of her didn't break into her room, and breathed out in relief once she made sure that he wasn't there – the blue-haired girl considered for a second whether she should go back and check whether went away or not, but she didn't dare to leave the safety of her bed.

"(Knock-knock~ Sifra, are you awake?)"

"KYAAAH!"

The the-blue-haired girl suddenly heard a voice inside her head and let out a panicked scream before she recognized the communication spell of the wind magician – in this case, one of her friend's Senria Parrats.

"(S-Sifra? Are you alright?)"

The wind mage sounded very worried as she established a connection.

"...N-noo...!"

Sifra shook her head even though her friend couldn't see her and cried out in a pitiful voice.

"(What happened?)"

Senria inquired.

"Uuu... You remember that ugly guy who's an attendant of lady Espine?"

Sifra sobbed pitifully.

"(Yeah, the creepy darkness magician with a messed up face who dared to mess with lord Grazio – Keriul and I just had a conversation about how to get rid of him, so that he wouldn't be able to bother lord Grazio anymore. What about him?)"

The wind magician explained in a careful tone.

"Somebody was going annoying and shouting in the hallway, and when I got out and wanted to complain, he was there! He almost grabbed me but I ran away...!"

The blue-haired Sifra explained, furrowing her brows – now that she calmed down a little bit, she was more angry than scared.

"Can you believe the audacity?! He was the one making a ruckus in the hallway after the curfew! Why did it end in me getting threatened and scared!?"

The blue-haired girl complained rolling herself in a blanket and fuming from anger, exaggerating her experience more than just a bit to not sound too cowardly, since, in the end, she didn't even use any spells to chase the scarred attendant away, and instead she was the one who ran with her tail between her legs while he only waved his hand at her while glaring at her with his extremely scary and creepy eyes that didn't even look like they belonged to a living creature.

"(...I see... odd... he might be ugly but since he was the attendant of lady Espine, I thought that he might be okay... Don't tell Kierul that I said that!)|

Senria wondered, and hurriedly added.

"As if! I bet when no one is looking he is a huge pervert and a creep too - to his master too!"

Sifra hurriedly coined a baseless accusation just to keep her friend - who was a wind magician and idolized lady Miriette Lisea Espine.

"(..huh... maybe... I thought that he was bringing down her prestige anyway... Alright! Wait a moment – I'll connect my spell to Kierul too – this might be big...!)"

"Eh...? How...?"

Senria thought for a bit before she gasped with excitement which made Sifra furrow her brows and gasped in confusion, getting a bad feeling in her stomach.

"[Hello...? Sifra? Was Senria serious just now – you seriously got info that might help us get that ugly darkness magician expelled?!]"

Only a moment later another voice resounded in Sifra's head – this one belonged to her other friend, the fire magician Kierul Berra Helterose.

"E-eh...? I... don't know... it was just..."

Sifra hesitated, but ended up telling the story again – this time she added a few details to not sound too cowardly.

"[Hmm... I see... That won't be enough – we need to add some spice...]"

"(Yeah, I literally thought about the same thing!)"

"Wh-what do you mean...? I can't be involved in any scandal – you both know that I am engaged, right? My father would kill me if I messed it up!"

Kierul and Senria agreed with a giggle but Sifra was hesitant.

"[Oh, come on, please? You already have a fiance and thats' why my plan can work! Come one! Help your girl out! If I'll help to get that ugly darkness magician expelled my chances with lord Grazio will skyrocket for sure!]"

The fire magician Kierul asked with excitement and honesty...

"(Yeah! Come on, Sifra, we are friends after all, right?)"

Pressured the wind magician Senria.

"...fine... as long as we won't go too overboard with it..."

The blue-haired Sifra folded up and agreed.

"[Great! I love you so much, bestie! Alright, so the plan will go like that, first of all, Senria has to contact all...]"
