The Villainess Does It With Class

Chapter 184: Meeting The Queen

The three of us then started going towards the knight's training ground which is, by the way, off-limits to any outsider because it's dangerous. Swords go flying every day and could impale you if you're not quick enough to evade. And if you would just strut in like a lunatic, either a knight could elbow you or just generally hurt you by accident.

So stay on the sidelines or better yet, don't get close at all.

I'm fine right now because Luther and Eon are with me so I don't feel jittery at all. And most importantly, I know their rules and abide by them.

"But this is truly unfair, isn't it?" grumbled Eon, still pouting like a child.

"Are you still not over that? Dude... Why don't you just tell that directly to the Emperor then?" Luther pointed out.

Eon glared at him, "Are you stupid? Do you want me to die?"

'Oh, dear...'

"Then why do you keep complaining?" I butt in.

"Coz it's unfair for the vice-captain!" he exclaimed.

"Huh..." I scoffed and shook my head.

Isn't it understandable that if the higher-ups won't tell you anything then you have no right to ask? He definitely knows that yet here he is...

"Aren't you retiring soon though?" Luther commented.

"I'm still in position, you know," and pouted even more.

Their exchange sure caught my attention.

"Wait, you're retiring too?"

First, it was Conrad, and now him...

Eon's face gradually got better until he looked like a smug little bastard, grinning at me.

"That's right, I'm going to start learning the ropes in the family soon. I'm going to be a count!"

"Ahh..."

Come to think of it, he is the eldest son of Count Riviere. I must have forgotten about that because he acts like such a manchild most of the time.

Hmm... Will my brother retire someday too? He's the future marquis after all... Just thinking about that, I definitely tasted sour in my mouth. I'm not against him being the head of the family but the thought that someday, dad will...

Wait, let's not go there.

"Luther here will take my place after I retire so I'm training him," Eon added.

"Good for you, Luther. Should I start calling you vice-captain now?" I teased.

Luther caught on with my intention and grinned.

"I like the sound of that. Vice-captain Luther... Hmmm..."

"Hey!" Eon snapped at us– "I'm still vice-captain, you know!"

"But not for soon," I refuted him, which only made the frown on his face get deeper.

"Heh," Luther snorted at the side, seemingly holding in his laugh.

"You guys!" Eon protested, looking at both of us as if we betrayed him or something.

His mouth was pressed into a hard line while his brows were about to join each other from the way his forehead is knotting.

'Cute...'

It makes me want to tease him more. Fufufufu~

"It's better to familiarize oneself and practice early, right? That's why from now on, Luther is the vice-captain in my eyes."
