The Villainess Does It With Class

Chapter 24 - Nadia And The Deep Pride Chicken

I and Rosa stared each other down. Her eyes were throwing daggers, while mine sparkles in mirth. It was like an epic showdown.

"U-uhmm..." Kannan voiced out, "Cookies?"

Two servant girls came in with trays and placed the cookies and cupcakes on a little tower. They left afterward, but no one made a move to even grab one. The civil war was still ongoing, and the air was filled with tension.

"Ah! Rosa, aren't you on the list of the Crown Prince's prospective Fiancee?" Gwen suddenly utters.

Rosa raises her chin in a proud stance.

"Of course!"

"But isn't Beatriz on the list too?" I chimed, "Her brother is one of Prince Ezekiel's vassals as well.."

Beatriz did not reply but just continued munching on cookies in silence. I turned to Rosa while still doing that fan thing.

"Oh my, Rosamunde. You have a tough competition ahead! Maybe you should suck up to me! I might give a word to my cousin about you," I offered.

"Hohh? You were not on good terms with the Prince, weren't you?" Chiwa rebutted.

"Right? I heard the Prince hates her," Shar Pei, the lady who cried from before, joins.

'This girl wants me to make her cry again huh.'

Rosa smirks at me, "No thanks."

Gwen laughs at my side, "From which cage did you hear that rumor from?"

"You!" Shar Pei exclaimed.

"Oh look, Nadia! She's barking again!" Gwen declares which made me laugh as well.

"Heh~" Even the cold and silent Beatriz lets out a snort.

Gwen turns to them again, "For your information, what you just said is not true at all. Didn't you even see the Prince welcoming her in the last assembly? Prince Ezekiel personally invited her to join the council you know."

"Fufufufufu~" My eyes trained at Rosa who was frowning, "I will gladly welcome you in my entourage, Rosa. But only if you kneel." I laugh behind my fan.

Rosa's face turned sour. She opens her mouth, then closes it off.

"How dare you!"

"Or you can beg," I added.

'I really like seeing her face turning red in anger. Fufufufu~'

Rosa stands up in anger and points at me. I just look at her straight on, not feeling threatened at all.

"You will pay for this!" She huffed and glowered at me.

"Sure, mail me the receipt okay?" I responded.

"Pfft!" Gwen

Rosa was at a loss for words, and I could see her eyes staining red.

'Wait, is she going to cry? What? HAHAHAHAHAHAH'

" ! ! ! "

She then turns around to leave the party, the four other girls immediately tailing behind her. Rosa was literally dragging her skirt in a hurry and stomping loudly.

'What a child...'

After they were gone, the table was silent for a while.

"Pfft-- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

Gwen and I burst out in laughter. We couldn't hold out anymore, my stomach was hurting from all of that. Gwen was even gasping for breath, while Beatriz was chuckling beside me.
