"Welcome to the wonderful world of jealousy, he thought. For the price of admission, you get a splitting headache, a nearly irresistable urge to commit murder, and an inferiority complex. Yippee."

Chapter 16: Women's Jealousy


"What's with the frown on your face Ezu?"
Lilith immediately asked when i sat down on a chair beside her.


"Father" she didn't say anything else and just made an understanding nod.

I sigh and a comfortable silence engulf our atmosphere... I place my elbow on the table and rested my chin on my hand and roam my eyes around the cafeteria.

Dylan excused himself earlier when i told jim my father was messing with me and i have a very heavy urge to burn the room.

He immediately understood and rushes to the headmaster to change my room which is i am very glad to know.

The cafeteria isn't noisy like how the cafeterias in my previous world is... The students in here were sitting properly and eating with elegance.

They talk to each other normally, no screaming nor shouting... However what i hate the most is their judging eyes and giggles.

It's damn annoying.

I know i can't sleep in this room... Nor any part of the campus.. Especially in my room, if it wasn't change yet.

"Here comes the commoner"

"I heard she's a genius"

"She invented the cold sweet ice cream at a young age"

"Many noble men wants to mary her"

"She's definitely a slut"

"She's just a commoner even though she invented many things"

"Yeah i agree, It won't change the fact that she's just a daughter of a mere merchant"

The whispers turned louder causing me to hear them clearly. My eyes followed their gaze and it landed to a very familiar woman who's walking elegantly and smiling innocently.

If i didn't know better i would immediately thinks that she's the real phoenix among the group of chickens.

I turn my attention back to my sister who's now staring blankly at hadley.

"Lady lilith, it's a pleasure to meet you i'm Cassandra de blanc daughter of the Marquis" a woman greeted my sister causing milady to snap back to reality and gave a bow as a curtsy.

"It is a pleasure to meet you too Lady Cassandra"

This woman is lacking with manners... She couldn't even greet the other person the lady's with.

She need to be trained more...

"May i sit with you, if you don't mind?"

"Of course go on"

Lady cassandra beams and sat opposite to my sister, my eyebrow slowly raise and i just silently clicks my tongue mentally.

"How are your relationship with the Prince, Lady lilith?"

Lilith pause for a second and sips on her tea which i didn't saw or just ignored earlier.

"The prince and i are just the same as always, nothing change hopefully it would remain as it is"
