Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess!

Chapter 177 : This Jealous Expression of Yours 2

"—If you don't have money, then pay with your body!"

If Elsa remember correctly, this girl is only 14 years old... where on earth did she learn such phrases?

Elsa felt her temples throbbing,

"...I understand."

The other party is still young after all, she should show the magnanimity of an adult.

"However, Your Highness, I have a child at home who needs to be taken care of."

"Don't worry, I'm not some demon~ If anything were to happen to that child, Big Sister would surely be upset."

Elsa only now realized that she seemed to know everything about Yvonne's family affairs,

Shirushi clapped her hands, and immediately a man dressed as a butler came forward to receive orders.

"I remember the West Hall is currently unoccupied, clean it up and let this Miss Elsa move in. Also, go to the Smollett residence and bring the people over, let them stay in the palace for a while."

"As you command."

"........."

It seems there's no way to refuse now.

"Hehe~ Now let's see how you can be lovey-dovey with Big Sister every day."

Standing on the steps, Shirushi wore a smug smile, looking down at Elsa with a teasing and provocative expression.

From today onwards, except for bedtime, Elsa would have to stay by the Princess's side at all times.

"............"

It's hardened, my fist has hardened.

I really want to give this brat a good thrashing!!

Walking down the steps, Shirushi came in front of Elsa,

"I still don't understand why the previous king gifted you the Silver Shoes... they should have been inherited by me."

Upon realizing she was somewhat lacking in height compared to Elsa, a look of shame and annoyance immediately appeared on her face.

"Let me see—what's so great about you! Otherwise, I won't be convinced! And don't even think about me acknowledging the relationship between you and Big Sister!!"

She looked up at Elsa, arms crossed over her meager chest, the little princess making what sounded like an announcement to her.

Elsa suddenly felt this brat might be a little cute.

Perhaps this little sister isn't as dislikeable as I thought?

"You mean... if I can make you acknowledge me, it will be fine?"

"Hmph~ It still depends on my mood."

She took back her previous thought, she really is an unlikeable brat after all!

Dance practice, general studies, magic classes, attending council meetings, and having to take detailed notes.

The Princess's schedule was busier than Elsa had imagined, with almost only time for eating, drinking, and flower-picking left in a day.

Shirushi was more serious than Elsa had imagined.

It seems she's really working hard to become this country's successor.

During private time, she specially allowed Elsa to call her by name.

"Phew... I'm exhausted!"

Finally finishing the day's schedule, she fell back onto the velvet sofa, completely without the elegance of a princess.

Having dismissed all the servants, now only the two of them were in the room.

"Is Miss Shirushi always this busy every day? Don't you ever rest?"

"Hmph, it's because I used today's daytime rest period to receive you! I could have had tea with Big Sister after the council meeting ended!!"

However, there was some gain as well

While attending the council meeting, Elsa saw Evie in formal attire, wearing glasses and analyzing financial reports,

Ah~~ Evie looks so cool when she's working seriously!

"Your smile is disgusting..."

Shirushi looked at her with disdain.

But Elsa was completely satisfied now, so she didn't mind,

She absolutely wouldn't have seen her if she had just stayed obediently at home, so this could be considered a blessing in disguise.

However, when Yvonne saw her and Shirushi together, she also seemed quite shocked, almost dropping the documents in her hand.

It seems I need to find an opportunity to explain to her...

"What exactly do you want me to accompany you in doing?"

Elsa asked somewhat helplessly.

"Hmm..."

Shirushi narrowed her eyes, sizing up Elsa, looking like a little girl pondering how to play with a new toy.

"—Read a novel for me."

"...Pardon?"

"This one, I've been quite fond of reading it lately."

She got up and went to the bookshelf in the room, stood on tiptoe and pulled out a beautifully bound hardcover book from the top shelf.

From its style, it seemed to be some kind of bestselling novel.

"...Alright."

It's just reading a novel, shouldn't be too difficult—

However, when she took the book from Shirushi's hand and saw the title on the cover, she immediately regretted it.

"This, this is—!?"

Elsa felt her brain trembling,

The book in her hand was none other than the novel "Pride and Prejudice" written by Garth under the pen name 'White Knight', using herself and Evie as prototypes—and it was the second volume!!

"What's wrong? Can't even handle such a small task?"

With no choice, Elsa had to steel herself and start reading,

"'Her hand lightly rested on the other's shoulder... whispering the other's name in her ear...'"

"Too stiff! Put more feeling into it—I can't hear! Do it again!!"

"'Like... like kissing those flower petals...'"

"Ah ah~ Really! You're wasting White Knight's beautiful prose!!"

God...

Is this some kind of punishment?

Elsa felt that every sentence she read was a challenge to her threshold of embarrassment.

And it's even this kind of soft erotic passage!!

Is it necessary to describe it in such detail?! Garth, that guy—

Fortunately, things like shame can be put aside once you get used to it, and the later readings finally became smoother.

"Hmph... why couldn't you read like this from the start?"

No longer commenting on Elsa's reading skills, Shirushi held her breath and listened attentively.

Because it was narrating the story of herself and Evie, Elsa gradually put more emotion into it, making the reading become more full-bodied.

When reading the final chapter of the volume, where the two separated due to misunderstanding, this little princess actually started crying.

Elsa had to put down the book to wipe her face.

"—White Knight is so cruel!! How could they stop at such a place!!"

Indeed, it's quite unethical to leave people hanging at such a crucial point.

"And next month's serialized column in 'Silver Eye' is going on hiatus... How can there be such an outrageous thing!!"

It's all because of this month's national council meeting...

Elsa roughly knew the reason for Garth's hiatus.

"How was it, quite a good story, right?"

"Yes, I can somewhat understand why you like this story so much."

As if revisiting her own story, Elsa also felt quite emotional.

"Ahhh~~"

Shirushi hugged the book, lying on the bed with a satisfied look.

"I really love this fallen young lady~~ Cool, gentle, and hardworking, just like Big Sister!"

~Of course,

Hearing such praise, Elsa felt very proud.

The character was created based on Evie after all.

"Come to think of it, there's also a very impressive character in this book."

Flipping through the book to revisit some of the exciting content, Shirushi mentioned casually,

Not good...

Elsa's heart skipped a beat.

In the novel, there was such a fictional 'witch',

She was almost omnipotent, generously teaching the female protagonists, helping them overcome many difficulties.

And the prototype of this Witch Lady was none other than...

Closing the book with a thud, her expression also became serious:

"—What do you think about this Witch Lady?"
