Chapter 8: Prince Aiden's True Personality

*Sigh*

I was thinking I was decent enough to hold my own against Lady Isla, but I beaten in the most humiliating way.

"I can sense much potential in you; however, you don't know how to use your power properly." Lady Isla lectured, "I'm sure you will surpass me if you play your cards right. First let's focus on speed…"

~~~~~~~~~~

After quite a while, we had trained tirelessly, and Lady Isla finally dismissed me.

"Good job, see you in two days' time." Lady Isla confirmed, just before she teleported away.

I made my way outside and heard many shouts and squeals, what was going on?!

"What a beauty! You don't see many these days!"

"I'm single!"

"Please marry me!"

"I'll try to be like you!"

"MY EYESSS ARE SATISFIED!"

A crowd of both females and males surrounded Miku and Eli. Where was Edward?

Edward was being chased by a hoard of girls.

Seriously, what was going on while I was gone?

"BROTHERR! HEELLPPP MEEE!" Edward pleaded as he darted passed me, sorrowful tears forming in his eyes.

Tsk…

"Alright, move over." I commanded the crowd surrounding Eli and Miku. No one listened. "I SAID move over!" This time I raised my voice and small blue flames licked my palm threateningly.

Poof! They all scattered!

"You didn't need to help, I had everything under control." Eli huffed, and added in a quieter voice, "But thanks."

"See I told you! Prince Aiden should be happier that he has a fiancée with so much beauty and popularity!" Miku ranted.

"I'm… back!" Edward panted, dragging his feet towards us, his fan group momentarily gone.

"What happened." I asked, exasperated.

"W-well, we just walked out of the library when people started gathering around us!" Edward stuttered, his eyes widening in horror.

"Miku stopped me from punching my way out." Eli stated matter-of-factly while Miku stared at Eli with dismay. "I'll be going off; I'm having tea with my fiancée."

"Make sure to punch your Scum Prince for me!" Miku piped in with a sadistic smile that sent shivers down my spine.

~~~~~~~~~~

Eli's perspective:

"Elianna dear, I hope you act as expected on our next party as a couple." Prince Aiden lectured, "Make sure we seem like a lovey-dovey couple. Oh, and introduce me to that cute friend of yours."

NO way. Could I punch him? Just a teeny tiny one? It won't hurt… much. Keep smiling… Think of fluffy bunnies… fluffy bunnies… mellow smile…

"Ahem… Prince Aiden? It has come to my attention that you have been secretly having secret moonlight walks with another girl, I believe. Lady Carly, daughter of Viscount Dukesbourgh?" I queried, stirring my tea with my spoon. "I suggest we think of annulling our engagement so you can marry her happily."

I continued to smile peacefully, remembering my torturous lessons on learning how to become a suitable empress.

Prince Aiden abruptly stood up and jerked my chin to look up at him. Ow! This jerk… I fought back the urge to kick him in a specific place to end his family legacy. Keep smiling… I battled to keep my smile to keep from morphing into a grimace.

"I thought you liked me, huh? Don't tell me you found a lover for yourself!" Prince Aiden barked, seeming even more hittable by the second.

Breathe… Think of the life of my household…! That trash! Did he forget he had a lover himself?!

"Don't worry Prince Aiden, I have been loyal to none other than you." I smiled tightly, my hand wrapping around the china teacup, clenched, the teacup threatening to crack. "It is true that I once loved you very much but, once another girl entered your life, I decided I was unsuitable of being your wife and your love."

Fluffy bunnies… Fluffy bunnies…

"Unfortunately, I have no intention of annulling our engagement until I capture your heart once again." Prince Aiden mused with a wink and left the room.

I continued to smile, and my teacup finally shattered. I'm going to kill that vermin later…

Miku's Perspective:

When Eli left, Grayson stumbled towards a bench and fell asleep, he must've been tired after all that training. Awww~ His sleeping face was so cute! Hehe… I wished I could have a picture of this forever!

"Are you leering at my brother?" Edward popped beside me, his eyebrows waggling up and down with a mischievous expression on his face.

"L-LEERING?!" I stuttered, gasping for air, "No way! I was just admiring… his sleeping face." I blushed and turned away.

"Too bad! You can't have my brother!" Edward giggled, "I need Eli to marry him so Brother, can become my real brother!"

"Too bad then!" I retorted, slapping my icy cold fingers onto my flaming hot cheeks. "Because I'M going to marry him!"

"May the best woman win." Edward grinned, his tone solemn and stuck his hand out.

I shook it.

"Huuuh? Who's marrying who?" Grayson muttered groggily.

"No one!" Edward and I chirped, side-eyeing each other cheekily.

"Hi everyone, it's Rose again, I'm currently making a Volume Two for readers who like reading reincarnation stories with cunning female leads 😊 This time, it's about Grayson's sister!!! She teleports in an otome game called 'The Lies and Betrayal of the Snakes' which was made by the same person who made the otome game which Grayson got sucked in(Basically they're in the same world but different countries and different otome game). This otome game is about getting as much political advantage, protection from high society members and to win over the love captures. Unfortunately, she was reincarnated as the villainess, Ivory, and the love captures are her two brothers, her prince fiancée, and her handsome butler! But they all hate her?! What did Ivory do to earn this much loathe?! She must win them over to survive! She must befriend the heroine too! Ivory's bestfriend in the otome game was Lady Sardonna, but Lady Sardonna was just a backstabbing snake! This time Ivory will defeat Lady Sardonna! (To find out the ending of Volume One: I Reincarnated into my Sister's Otome Game?!' You have to finish 'Volume Two: The Reincarnated Villainess becomes Loved!) Here is a spoiler!

~~~~~~~~~~

Father came home holding Easton's hand. This was just like what had happened in the otome game, my father brought home a child he conceived through an inn waitress. Easton was one year older than me, with his short strands of silky silver hair, each individual thread glistening brightly in the sunlight shining overhead as if they were glowing and creamy coloured skin, he would make any girl's heart skip a beat. In the otome game, my mother and I bullied him relentlessly and father stood in the corner, doing nothing. My other twin brother tolerated him but never accepted him. Easton spent most of his time holed up in his bedroom, practising magic, as such, he become one of the most powerful mages in the otome game. Unfortunately, I had harassed him past the lone one day, and he snapped, I was killed. This time, I was NOT making that mistake. He may only be six, but I had to forge a strong friendship between us.

"Hi Big Brother! Do you want to play with me?" I asked, beaming sunshine and flowers.

Easton blinked, clearly confused by my cheery approach.

"Let's go!" I chirped, dragging his hand with me.

Maybe Ivory would survive this time.
