The Former Villainess Who Went Back in Time, She Doesn’t Fix Her Bad Personality but Avoids the Execution Ending!

Chapter 68: Never to be outdone

“In this life, I love Julian-sama with all my heart.
So please don’t interfere.
If you do, you’ll end up miserably dying again.”

That was the conclusion of that day.
Princess Chai, with her guards, left in triumph and a smile in front of me.

I cannot believe that her story of time travel is a lie.
I don’t know if everything is true, but I think it is mostly factual.

She saved me.
If she is seeking Julian-sama, I should yield to her.

Perhaps Julian-sama’s happiness lies with her.

However, I have made up my mind.

“Don’t hesitate, Aliseteen.
You’ve already decided to reveal everything.”

I finished my morning preparations in front of the mirror and stared intently at my amber eyes, questioning myself about what actions I should take.

I haven’t been myself lately.
Aliseteen Quatra is not this kind of person.

After taking a deep breath, I raked my hair back with a rustling sound.
The amber color scattered and sparkled in the sunlight.

“Julian-sama.”

It had been since that time in the infirmary when we last spoke.
He apologized to me, calling his own actions “reckless.”

Today as well, he calmly endured Princess Chai’s sticky skinship.

“Alise.”

“Good day, Quatra-sama.
You look lovely as always.”

Before Julian-sama could speak, Princess Chai stepped forward.
My temple twitched, but I clenched my fist and endured.

“Hello, Princess Chai.
I apologize for being rude, but could I please speak with Julian-sama alone?”

“Can’t we talk as a group of three? I become anxious without Julian-sama by my side…”

Showing me those watery eyes won’t work.
After making a fool out of me before, it’s just an act.

While cursing in my mind, I kept a calm expression.
I won’t lose in the art of pretending to be a cat.

“I am sorry but I wish to speak with Julian-sama alone.”

“I beg your pardon? Julian-sama, I leave it up to your judgment.”

Perhaps I was getting annoyed, as I was starting to lose my composure as a cat.
As expected, she is the winner in this purebred cat-covering genre.

“I cannot disrespect the princess.
If you have something to say, say it now.”

“…Julian-sama, I…”

“I said, say it now.”

His cold eyes and motionless cheeks indicate his refusal of my presence.

It’s not a behavior I remember from him before.

But it’s an expression that I had seen many times before when I was in a different state of mind.

“…I understand.
I apologize for being selfish.”

I struggled to hide my broken heart and couldn’t keep a proper tone as a lady.
I quickly looked away and focused on staring at his feet.

“Please rest assured, Quatra-sama.
I am simply learning about this country and academy from Julian-sama.
There is nothing suspicious going on.”

“…Is that so.
Very well.”

My broken heart couldn’t be mended right away.
I could hear the echoing laughter of Princess Chai, so I thought I couldn’t fight anymore.

Above all, it was a shock to be rejected by Julian-sama.
I tried my best to not look like a loser, held my head high, and left the place with a slow pace.
