I Reincarnated as a Bad Girl

Chapter 2: Worrying

Previous story:

Eva meets Denis. Denis congratulates her on her tea party and gives her a gift as an apology for not coming. At that time Robert and Denis conflicted with each other to fight over Eva, even the incident happened in the dining room. Dean Wason came to mediate.

As they eat together, Dean Wason asks a sensitive question, he asks about Eva and Denis' engagement. That's when Robert was unhappy, and glared at Denis. Dean Wason, looking deeply at Denis, questioned whether Denis was a good fit for Eva. Denis doesn't like this very much. She dislikes everyone around Eva including Duke, Dean Wason and Robert, as they all desperately want her engagement to be called off.

***

Dean Wason looked at Denis seriously and slowly opened his mouth "After eating, meet me later" he said slowly. "There's something I want to talk to you about"

"Well Dean" Denis nodded.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment and they continued eating.

It took them fifteen minutes, as they all finished their meal. Dean Wason immediately stood up and left the dining room. Denis followed him.

"Wait me. We'll go back to the capital together after this. I'm just gonna talk to Dean for a minute" Denis told me before going to Dean Wason.

I just nodded.

***

Denis followed Dean Wason into a room.

"Please sit down" Dean Wason said.

"Thank you Dean" Denis sat down.

"what about the offer?" denis started the topic.

Previously, when Denis first came to the magic tower, he was directly guided to the meeting hall. He met Dean Wason and nine other elders. He introduced himself as the crown prince as well as the envoy of the academy.

He explained that the royal party offered cooperation with the Magic Tower.

Note: Why is the academy included in the work? Because the academy was formed by the kingdom, and there were many nobles and commoners studying there. The academy could be said to be one of the education departments formed by the kingdom. But it was different from the Magic Tower. The Magic Tower was an independent organization not involved with the kingdom. It was just a coincidence that they lived in the Kingdom of Well, because every kingdom in the world had its own magic organization. That is why the Magic Tower and the Kingdom are not interconnected, they are separate.that is why also, Denis wants to offer a cooperative relationship.

The cooperative relationship offered by Denis contains that they must help each other. If the government has a problem, the Magic Tower must send help. Conversely, if the Magic Tower has a problem, the government will send help. Denis also offers a student exchange program between the two sides, namely the academy and the Magic Tower. Although the academy had special subjects of magic, it was not as detailed as the Magic Tower had. And the Magic Tower only focused on studying magic, they could learn other things in the academy. That is the purpose of this student exchange program. You could say this benefits both sides.

The deans were discussing at the time, so they had yet to make a decision. Until the end, some deans had important affairs and handed the decision to the head of the magic tower. But Dean Wason doesn't care about this partnership. At first he was friendly towards Denis and welcomed him. But, after she gets the information that the crown prince and his granddaughter are engaged, she begins to ignore Denis. Dean Wason just left. Denis, who didn't get any answers went to follow him. Denis was also upset, as he was ignored in this place, completely unappreciated.

'Is the magic tower indeed this arrogant?' thought Denis.

And when Denis follows Dean Wason into persuading him to agree to a cooperative relationship, he meets Eva halfway through.

"Before I answer, I'll test you first" Dean Wason said.

Suddenly, a suppressive and ferocious aura instantly charged towards Denis. Denis' body is shaking, downtrodden. Later, as Denis is not struggling, Dean Wason begins to attack him with magic. Denis immediately forced his body to dodge.

'Hmmm, his vigilance is not bad' Dean Wason thought.

"What the fuck is this Deann?!" denis shouted with a mixed tone of shock and annoyance. He was somewhat surprised when Dean Wason suddenly attacked him without any notice.

"I'm testing you" Dean Wason said casually.

He still sat down and attacked with another magic.

Denis' side is a mess. The floor and furniture were smashed to pieces. Only Dean Wason's side is still fine. Dean Wason was still sitting while attacking Denis with all sorts of magic. While Denis continued to dodge and fend off while holding back the powerful aura that was suppressing his movements.

'What the fuck?' denis thought he was upset while gritting his teeth.

Dean Wason is no match for Denis. Their strength levels were far different. Of course it was very different, Denis who was still in his corn against Dean Wason who had lived for several hundred years.it was like a human against a dragon!

'Hmmm, his ability is not bad. He was weaker than Robert, but he was younger than Robert. He can still thrive chasing Robert' Dean thought while attacking.

He was currently still very much in a dilemma to determine his grandson's future son-in-law.

'I still can't decide ahhh.' Dean Wason thought worried.

'I will observe him first, how they act in the future'

His grandson is a noble. 'At least I can help him if this cooperative relationship is formed' he thought

***

The dining room was slowly quiet as one by one people started to finish their meal hours and return to their respective activities. Slowly, Dean Cristal and Dean Leon also left to complete their tasks. Only me and Robert remained in the dining room.

Robert started the conversation. "Eva I want to ask you something"

"What's the master?"

"Did you accept this engagement?"

"What?" I'm a little surprised. "What does master mean?"

"Did you approve of your engagement to the crown prince?" Robert made his words clear.

Hmm, how should I answer it?

"Master. The betrothal of the nobles has been determined since they were little."

"Do you like it?" ask Robert directly.

Uhuk!

I coughed lightly in surprise.

"....."

I was silent, unable to answer. How should I answer it? I'm in an unclear situation right now. I'm still confused about Denis' behavior. Sometimes he is cold, and sometimes he is gentle. I was also confused by my own feelings.

'Did I like it?' I asked myself.

"You like it?" Robert confirmed his question while frowning his forehead.

I finally opened my mouth and replied firmly. "I don't like it but I don't hate it either" I replied.

I'm sure right now that I don't have feelings of like or love for Denis. We have to exclude the reaction of Eva's body, because Eva's feelings are actually still stored in this body. So, I often act reflexively towards Denis. Well, you know the real Eva really likes Denis.

I don't hate Denis for now. I hope he won't kill me in the future, as in the original story. So that I wouldn't hate him.

"Why did you sacrifice yourself to live with someone you didn't like?" asked Robert in an unhappy tone.

"It was already a noble tradition to be engaged to each other. Well, you know I'm the daughter of a Duke, of course I have to get engaged."

"Why should it be like that? That crown prince, he could have been engaged to another noble.Why do you have to?"

"Because I'm the duke's daughter" I replied briefly. "Duke is the highest rank of nobility. The crown prince could only be paired with a high ranking noble or even with a princess from another kingdom."

"That doesn't make sense!" rebut Robert. She said confidently after she knew that Eva did not like the crown prince. "You can still cancel it now, before it's too late"

"...."

I didn't answer. Cancel engagement? I guess it's a bad decision, because the two factions of the kingdom are having a conflict right now. I know the reason why I got engaged to the crown prince. This was done by the king to calm the conflict between nobles and prevent civil war.

"Eva, I'll help you. Only you are a noble, it does not mean that you cannot act freely according to your wishes" Robert said confidently as he looked into my eyes fixedly.

"Master..I.." I voiced hesitantly "I..."

Brak! The door of the room opens. I saw a ragged figure approaching us.

"Your majesty!" suhutku surprised.

Denis's figure is currently very messy. His clothes were dirty and there were a lot of small tears. His body was scratched full of injuries, although the wounds were not severe, only small wounds.

But I really didn't expect this. Didn't he have sex with Dean Wason? Why does Denis look like he came back from the battlefield?
