I Reincarnated as a Bad Girl

Chapter 6 Sayn's Mission: Marquis' House

Previous story:

Sayn started to approach Reina because she wanted to know the identity of the mysterious person in the Marquis' house.

***

It had been three days, Sayn had spent her time approaching the girl named Reina. Even though they do not spend long enough in a day. It was just the afternoon. And they just spend time in the capital, enjoying the sights and crowds.

Sayn would also occasionally walk into the store to buy Reina a gift. Making the girl's cheeks flushed in embarrassment. So Sayn thinks that her approach works.

For these few days, Sayn thought Reina was not a bad girl. She looked like another innocent girl. As they walk together, Reina will do social activities such as helping orphaned children in orphanages or giving money to beggars.

Sayn thought, how could such a good girl be trapped in the extremely dirty Marquis house? Did the marquis manipulate his mind because he was so naive?

But Reina was not perfect in her eyes either. Even though the girl was innocent and naive. He still has flaws. At times, Sayn could see great ambition in her eyes, but Reina hid that ambition quite well.

I don't know if it's good or bad ambition. Because Sayn never knew Reina's true desire. And he's not interested in finding out either. Because he was unwilling to deepen his relationship with Reina any more than this.

On the fourth day, his approach paid off. Reina started to open up to him a little. So Sayn decided to ask in a timid tone. "Um...can I visit your house? I want to give the Marquis a gift. It was very disrespectful, because soon I will return to the Kano kingdom. At least I want to leave a good impression on the Marquis"

Reina was silent for a moment, she was thinking. But he finally answered "Um, I'll tell you later to come" he said confidently. She needs her father's confirmation first to invite guests even though Reina is sure her father would agree. Because Sayn's identity is not low.

That day, they spent time together again. And Sayn gave her a few more gifts, making Reina feel very happy.

On the fifth day, Reina contacted her that she could visit for dinner. They'll be providing a special dinner, so Reina invites her.

But actually this is just Reina's selfishness. Earlier she felt defeated when she found out Eva had invited Sayn to dinner at her house. He was even rejected outright when he wanted to come along. It ruined his self-esteem.

So Reina did not want to lose and held a dinner too to invite Sayn. He won't lose to Eva. He'll arrange it to be the best dinner for Sayn. He would make himself better in Sayn's eyes than that selfish girl.

Sayn arrived at the Marquis Mansion when dinner arrived. He came in a luxurious carriage that was quite conspicuous, not on foot like before, like when he was attending dinner at the Duke mansion.

The marquis and the servants greeted him enthusiastically.

"Welcome Your Majesty." Marquis Zent's plump cheeks were drawn to the side as he smiled widely upon seeing Sayn. This man was the prince of Kano, so the Marquis made the best possible preparations to welcome him.

"Good night Marquis Zent" Sayn said politely. Today she wears fancy clothes, not as usual. Thus making his noble aura completely radiated.

Reina's face even reddened in embarrassment as she felt enchanted by Sayn's aura. But then he managed to calm himself down.

The father and son lead Sayn to the dining room. The dining room was filled with a very luxurious dinner.

Sayn even blinked in surprise when she saw the dozens of meat on the table. They were only three, and there would be a tremendous amount of food wasted if they did not spend. Those golden spoons and plates were also very conspicuous. The atmosphere was completely different as he visited the Duke's Mansion. Sayn so thought, how much money was spent by the Marquis just to prepare a luxurious dinner like this. It was from this that Sayn knew that Marquis Zent was very fond of luxury.

"Your Majesty, I hear that you will be returning to Kano in a moment?" as dinner began, the Marquis began to ask.

Sayn nodded slowly. "Yes. I will only stay here for another six months before returning to the Kingdom of Kano".

Their student exchange time is running out. They were only given one year to study in this kingdom. After one year, they will return to the Kano kingdom.

And that's when some of the selected students from Well's academy will be given the opportunity to study at their academy. This is a very equal student exchange.

But to be honest, Sayn did not have any impression in the Kano Academy. Although his name was recorded in the academy as a student. He never attended class. At least while at Well's academy, he had attended classes with his real body. Even if it was only once or twice.

"We will bring back some of the best students from the academy to study at Kano. This is a good thing. Because in addition to exchanging cultures, the two kingdoms can also establish relations with each other" Sayn continued.

The eyes of the Marquis sparkled brightly. He looked at Reina expectantly before looking back at Sayn. "I really wish my daughter was one of those best students"

"of course. Reina is a holy girl and she is very famous. He was one of the best disciples in the Well kingdom" Sayn praised, then stuffed a small piece of meat in his mouth. She was eating in a very elegant and slow style now. Makes it quite frustrating. But he had to keep pretending like this for his plan to work.

Reina's face flushed in embarrassment as she heard Sayn's praise.

"Thank you Your Majesty" the Marquis accepted the compliment humbly.

Marquis Zent liked Sayn's attitude. He watched Sayn from head to toe. Her appearance is incredible. This man also gave off an aura that signified that he was no ordinary person. The marquis realized that.

'But unfortunately he is only a prince.' thought the Marquis disappointed. Compared to Denis who will be king in the future, Sayn is still less than that. He couldn't drag his daughter for a person who couldn't benefit them.

Maybe Marquis Zent will change his mind if Sayn becomes Crown Prince. He would let Reina get close to him and give up on Denis. Moreover, it seemed that Sayn was very interested in her daughter. But unfortunately Denis' position is superior. He can't give up on her.

He could only let Reina and Sayn be good friends. After all it was fine to be good friends with the prince from the neighboring kingdom. They will get a strong connection and support for it.

The dinner was finished peacefully.

"Are you enjoying Sayn's dinner?" reina asked with eyes full of hope. He no longer called Sayn respectfully now that they had become close friends.

"Yes, I really enjoyed it" Sayn replied with a smile as beautiful as possible.

"Your Majesty" Marquis Zent stared at him with a political smile. "Will his majesty stay at my house for one night before returning? Maybe we can talk about some things about the future later" the Marquis gathered his courage to say that.

Sayn's eyes became bright. This is the goal! At first he wanted to persuade the Marquis so that he could stay over. But who would have thought that the Marquis would propose such a thing himself. He could easily sneak into this mansion if that happened!

"It is with great pleasure that the Marquis" Sayn replied Politely.

The marquis smiled brightly. His feelings are very happy now. He also looked at Reina affectionately. Reina is more useful than Vivian. He was more profitable because it attracted many strong people on his side. The marquis would also not forget the second prince, who was also infatuated with his daughter. She's a really good princess.

The marquis also prepared the best guest room for Sayn. The room was really luxurious. When Sayn entered, she could only shake sadly. Even his palace in the Kano Kingdom was more like a small hut than the Marquis Mansion.

Sayn was worried. Is power that important? He was very unconcerned about that which was why he stepped down from the throne seat. Letting his foolish brethren, fight each other.

But after this incident, Sayn felt that power was very important. Especially to face the nobles. The higher the status, the easier it is to gain information and trust.

"But I don't want to fight in the same circle as those stupid pigs" Sayn grumbled as she laid herself on a soft mattress.The quality of this mattress was even better than her mattress.

"Better I don't think about it for now..." Sayn tried to get back to her main focus. He wanted to find a mysterious person in the Marquis' house. He'll wait until midnight to sneak in. He's not going to sleep tonight.

The middle of the night came. Sayn changed her clothes and she sneaked around the mansion. He's very deft at doing it. Even the patrolling bodyguards that passed by did not sense his presence.

Sayn checked all the mansions. But nothing suspicious. He even sneaked into Reina and the Marquis' room. But he also did not find any clues. There is only one place that has not been checked. That place was the Marquis's workroom.

When Sayn gets there. He could feel the presence of two people in the room. So Sayn was trying to peek out of the ceiling. Because at this time Sayn is above the ceiling of the room.

The two people were Marquis Zent and an unknown person, who wore a black robe. Sayn's eyes sparkled. He finally found a target.

Sayn used magic to sharpen her ears so she could eavesdrop on their conversation. Sayn's skill is great. Even the black robe was unaware of his presence.

"You're saying Duke Court killed all the spies we sent?" The marquis grumbled while gritting his teeth, furious. "Don't you say you'll handle it yourself? But it turned out to be quite a bad result" the Marquis quipped the black robe. Previously, the black robe was very confident in its ability to suppress Duke Court. But now he ended up in failure.

"Duke Court is getting help from the Magic Tower" the black robe replied briefly.

Marquis Zent froze before he finally hit the table with his fist. "Damn! I already knew they were in a relationship. But who would have thought that the Magic Tower would be involved with a royal conflict? They are really shameless!" The marquis kept nagging.

"But we also have very strong supporters." the black robe responded.

"Humph!" The marquis snorted in disbelief.

"Even that power is stronger than a small kingdom like this. A power that can affect the world because of the will of a god. We are only trying to help you take over this kingdom so that the cooperation between us can be easily intertwined" the black robe spoke in an imposing tone.

Sayn frowned when she heard the statement of the black robe. A strong supporter? can it even shake the world? There's only one on his mind. What is the organization of the light magicians of the Holy City? If they suddenly appeared on the surface, perhaps the entire world would be stirred up. The reason, the holy city that had disappeared hundreds of years ago, suddenly appeared alive.

'There's no way that organization and this black robe are related, right?' Sayn thought.

The marquis did not believe the words of the black robe. But he also did not want to offend her. Even though the black cloak is lying. He still needs his help. So he pretended to believe. "All right..."

Marquis Zent could not give up this easily. He must gain control of the throne. He had already devoted himself for many years like a slave beside the king. So he must receive the reward for his success!

At first he wanted to use Reina to take Denis' heart. But he didn't get any response from Denis. The second prince was interested in his daughter. He could not marry Reina to the second prince. Because it's useless. The second prince will not be able to ascend the throne. He will only be an official with the title in the future.

The marquis remained adamant that Denis and Reina could be together. At first she thought it was okay for Reina to become the second queen. The current king also has two wives. She could make Reina give birth to the crown prince first to win the seat of power. But Denis always gave Reina a cold shoulder so she hesitated with her plans.

Plus, the Strength of the Court faction grew stronger as the Duke's name grew more and more famous. The royal faction is in a squashed position now because of that fame. So the Marquis wanted to get rid of Duke Court as quickly as possible. If Duke is eliminated, his daughter will be eliminated. He can get rid of two problems in one go. So he had to carefully think through his plan.

"Alright, meet me again if you have a good plan. For now, I will spend as much time forming outside connections as possible. It's a good opportunity as well because prince Kano is here. I want to use it a little bit in our plans" the Marquis said.

Sayn smiled ugly while listening to her statement.

' Want to use me? In dreams!' he grumbled while holding back the flames of anger that raged in his chest.

The black robe nodded in understanding. After they exchanged farewell greetings, the black robe left the mansion.

Sayn won't let this opportunity be wasted. He followed the black robe out of the mansion carefully.
