Carlos

"This is an evil scheme you have here."

I felt a breath on my ear. I turned around to see who it might be. Blood red eyes with a look of interest and jet black hair.

That's weird. The novel said a look of emptiness but this is Rose we're talking about. She can exaggerate on stuff.

"That's cheap coming from you. I wasn't the only one spying."

"Oh? So you knew that I watched you from up there."

He pointed to the the sky. He must have been flying or something.

I nodded my head as a reply. I'm not as excited as I thought I'd be when I meet him.

Honestly, I had a feeling that someone was warching me but I didn't know who. So he scared me a bit. I'll give him that.

Rose and the gossipers left by the time I looked again. The gossipers probably took Violet with them because she was gone as well.

I got up from the crouched position I was in gracefully. How embarrassing. But I kept up my poker face as usual and brushed the leaves off my dress.

I gave a proper greeting to him.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Claire Chambers."

"Does it look like I care?" He said with a raised eyebrow.

Well that's just plain rude. But, whatever.

"That's right. You don't look like you care." I said as I walked past him.

"I'm kidding. You know who I am. But call me Carlos."

I stopped in my tracks.

"How do you know that I'd know your name? Maybe I couldn't care less :)"

"Wow you're stubborn."

"Call it how you like."

"Okay, Miss Stubborn. I was going to help with magic but I guess you don't want me to."

"Haha sure you were." I said sarcastically.

"You're pretty smart haha! Do you realise my status? Should you be disrespecting me like this?"

"I didn't think that you were the type to care? Anyway, if you wanna charge me or kill me, that doesn't matter but let me finish my plan first."

"I am enjoying this too much haha!" he laughed. Is he crazy? What's so funny?

"Make sure you put on a good show for me!"

He snapped his finger and a huge gust of wind hit me. After I was able to open my eyes, he vanished.

Um. Okay sure? I mean I'm enjoying this a bit so I guess others can too. This is kind of interesting but not as much as my previous life.

That was a weird conversation.

I thought it was going to be like those conversations in romance novels where heroine asks his name and he vanishes soon after only to meet her later in the novel.

Normally the Male lead meets her when she needs help or something.

That's to cliche. Nevermind. I don't want my love life to be like that.

But it doesn't matter. This guy just wants to watch some weird version of a historical drama. No, nevermind. Historical dramas are way better than this. I've lost any interest in this life.

It is really boring and I miss forms of entertainment I had in my previous life. Oh god, I miss my phone. I miss watching dramas and TV shows...

This world is just so boring and the fact that I'm calling a revenge plan against my sister interesting is just sad.

But that's not the problem now.

I might die in such a stupid way. If I'm going to die, I'd rather it not be because of those idiots. That's why I'm making sure I can defend myself.

○○○○○○○○○○○

Okay. The time has come. 5 suitors and a light magic user vs me and Violet who possess dark magic.

Just to clarify, Rose has many other suitors, too much to even count. I'm pretty sure she just picked out 5 of them.

"Miss Claire, you have spread some awful rumours about Rose."

The one who was talking was glaring at me. If looks can kill, I would've dies already. I'm not going to die in a stupid way.

"And what are these rumours?"

"That Rose was bullying you. Do you even have a brain? She's your sister!" The one that was patting her head spoke.

"You're talking awfully comfortable for someone who's has a lower status than me."

"Status. Is that what you can think about right now?!"

"Don't flatter yourself. Just because a pretty noble gave you attention, that doesn't make you invincible."

He flinched at my words.

Clap. Clap. Clap. The crowned prince came in as I caught Rose smirking.

What the fuck. What kinda weird ass entry was that?

"Status you say?"

I bowed at his entry. It doesn't deserve a bow though.

"Claire Chambers. I am banishing you from the country?"

"For what reason, Your Highness?"

"For spreading rumours about my loved one!"

"And what proof do you have?"

"..."

Is he dumb? He just lost his coolness by being an unprepared idiot.

"Don't talk back to me!"

...

God, such a dumb society.

"Claire Chambers. I hereby punish you to banishment for disrespecting the future empress."

"Okay." I agreed.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...Um. You're just going to take it like that?"

"Yeah. Banishment sounds cool. It may be more interesting without you dumb idiots. Violet, wanna come with me?"

"Sure!" She laughed.

Rose's face is hilarious at the moment.

"What? Why?" she asked.

"You're getting banished!" the crowned prince continued.

"Everything is just boring." I explained.

"I'm looking for something fun for once. Banishment might be fun. Gotta know how it feels like."

"Ugh. Take them away. Being crowned prince is hard."

Suddenly, a huge gust of wind smacked their face. Aww! I wanted to be the one that smacked their faces!

Oh. Its Carols.

"And how exactly is it hard?" he asked. His deep voice echoing the whole place.

They all knelt to the ground, even the prince. All of the except for Rose. Of course.

She looked at him. Her eyes glittering and her fully red. Oooh. Someone has a crush.

"How is this work hard for you when I do all the work, you idiot?"

The prince's face flushed with both embarrassment and anger.

No way. Carlos does all the work? So, technically he deserves the throne. Oh, please take the throne. I wouldn't want this guy running the country.

"I think it's amazing that you do so much for our country, Carlos!" Rose chirped.

Um. Did he let her call him that?

He continued ignoring her and glared at the prince.

Meanwhile she wouldn't back down.

"You don't have much friends, do you? Allow me to help!"

Ignored.

"You have a look of emptiness in your eyes! Hopefully, it fades away." she cried.

Ignored.

"I'm glad you're helping my sister! But please don't get too attached." she lowered her voice but I could still hear it.

"She may stab you in the back. She recently did that to me..." She cried.

I heard that.

He finally paid attention to her.

Her eyes lit up as he looked at her. She stepped closer to him.

Am I supposed to see some clingy romance scene here? I'm just going to sneak out.
