Villainess X Villain: They are obsessed with each other!-Chapter 30 -: 29 Is that you?

The conversations kept going around the arena and outside too. Students were talking as they left.

"Did you see the last two duels?" one student asked his friend.

"Yeah, they were monsters. I don’t think even the seniors can fight them."

"Right?"

"Yeah. And I heard Lady Rosalina Valentina is running for student council president. What do you think?"

"Well... to be honest, I like Alia Ruth more. She is kind, gentle, and she is a commoner like us."

"That may be true, but I will vote for Lady Rosalina. She is one of the strongest here."

"We need someone powerful to stand against the Zlycons. It will be good if she gets experience in leadership."

These words floated everywhere as students walked away.

Meanwhile, Julius walked next to Rosalina. He talked non-stop.

"You see, Rose, she calls me papa since that day. You know how kids are these days, haha."

He laughed, but it sounded a little strange and awkward.

Rosalina kept her face blank. She showed no reaction.

Julius thought to himself: ’It’s good that she is going to meet her, but I need to make her understand why Rosel calls me papa. If not, it will be very hard later.’

He also remembered his first meeting with Rosel.

It felt unusual for him to feel that way about someone. He was curious to see Rosalina’s face when she met the girl.

Julius cleared his throat. "Ahem. Rose, do you remember our bet?"

Rosalina kept walking. She said nothing.

"You don’t remember our promise? The date?" Julius asked again.

"Tsk!" Rosalina clicked her tongue. She sounded annoyed.

"Would you shut up?"

But inside, she felt pleased. She liked that he kept bothering her like this.

’Haa, I have to act cold,’ she thought with a small sigh.

Today was hard for her. First, she saw Julius with that girl who called him papa.

Then she saw Seraphina trying to get close to him.

She had already scared Seraphina away and made her promise to stay quiet.

Seraphina was a good girl and understood quickly.

Now Rosalina was going to meet the girl who kept calling Julius "papa."

Julius had told her he found the girl on the roadside and felt pity, so he took her in.

But Rosalina could not calm down. She needed to see the girl herself.

’Who knows? If she calls him papa, maybe she will call me mama?’

Rosalina’s steps became a little faster. Julius followed her with a big smile, still talking.

They walked in silence for a while until they reached the academy gate.

Before Rosalina could even touch the door, Julius rushed forward and pushed it open for her like an eager servant.

Rosalina walked out without a word, her face calm and cold as always.

Julius followed behind her like a very happy shadow.

Soon, they reached Julius’s carriage.

Alfred was standing beside it, hands behind his back, posture straight.

When he saw them coming, he stepped forward.

"Good after—"

He stopped mid-word.

His eyes locked onto Rosalina.

"...Lady Rosalina?"

His brows slowly pulled together. Then he looked at Julius.

Julius smiled brightly. "Ah, Alfred. I forgot to tell you."

He stepped proudly beside Rosalina and lifted a hand like he was showing off his most important treasure.

"Meet my wife, Rosalina Augustus Hayes—"

He didn’t even finish.

Rosalina’s head slowly turned toward him.

Her eyes were cold.

"You will pay one day for your delusion."

"Hmph."

She stopped walking and folded her arms.

Julius blinked once. Then he smiled even wider.

He didn’t look hurt. He looked proud.

"As you can see," he said calmly to Alfred, "she’s shy."

Alfred’s eye twitched.

Julius then turned back to him casually. "Anyway, where’s Rosel?"

Alfred was still staring at him, clearly questioning every life choice that led to this moment.

"...Young Master."

Julius waved a hand. "Focus, Alfred."

Alfred blinked and straightened up.

"Ah. She is inside the carriage."

"Good."

Rosalina walked past them without waiting.

Julius quickly followed after her.

Alfred stood there for a few seconds in silence.

Then he looked up at the sky.

"...I need a raise."

Meanwhile, Rosalina walked straight to the carriage.

Her face stayed cold and indifferent, like always. But inside her head, she was laughing quietly.

’Yeah, Alfred, right? Yes, he is right. I’m his wife. You better show me the respect I deserve.’

To be honest, the fastest way to have Julius all to herself would be to kill that old man.

But the problem was... that old geezer was very powerful.

Or she could just leave them both.

But then she would have to forget about her revenge. She started to think about her choices.

’No, this won’t do. I must take revenge on those Thornes.’

Poof!

Just as she was about to get lost in her thoughts, a mini Rosalina popped out on her right shoulder.

This mini version was not a devil or an angel. It looked exactly like her, and it had appeared before.

"Hey, hurry up! I want to confirm my hubby’s character. Do it!"

Hearing that, Rosalina snapped back to reality. ’Right.’

She moved to the carriage door. The window was covered with a curtain.

Rosalina was about to open the door when the curtain moved a little. A small head with pink hair peeked out.

Big, bright eyes looked right at her.

Rosalina and her mini version froze. They both stared at Rosel instantly.

Rosel blinked back with big, curious eyes. The three of them just looked at each other for a long moment... no one moved.

Then Rosel opened her mouth.

"Black hair and black eyes... pretty lady, who are you?"

Rosalina didn’t say anything. Her mini version on the shoulder also stayed quiet, mouth open like she forgot how to talk.

Rosel tilted her head more.

"Are you by chance my Papa’s wife? The one he always talks about?"

"Ahh—" Rosalina blinked hard and came back to reality.

She pressed her hand to her head for a second, like she had a sudden headache.

"Yes... I am."

"Ohhh!" Rosel’s mouth opened wide in happy surprise. She clapped her small hands once. "So you are the one my name is after... huh?"

She looked up at Rosalina with sparkling eyes, full of wonder.

"My full name is Rosel Augustus Hayes! Papa said he named me after someone very special. Someone strong and beautiful. Is that you?"
