I Became A Villain In A Novel
Sixty-four
That day heavy rain fell on the dry ground, causing a very soothing petrichor smell, although most people did not like the smell of rain, but Liona liked it very much.
"You okay?" Elios approaches Liona and embraces her, Elios, Luther and Arthur are surprised to see Liona's emotions, though she is the type of person who explodes, but never threatens anyone or demeans.
"You think?" Liona asked back without caring for her friends who sighed tiredly, from earlier Liona just silently looked at the rain, I don't know what was on her mind.
"Why are you quiet? It's not like you, come on!" Arthur snatched and shook Liona's arm.
"Do you think I'm being too much? But I don't think I can't forgive the man who has vilified my family, and why should I be blamed anyway? I don't like the crown prince, after all the emperor himself is always interested in me."
Liona murmured, yes she did not feel that it was outrageous, perhaps to some it looked a bit outrageous, since Liona used power and violence within the academy.
"Have not kept thinking, you only need to think good things." Luther ruffled Liona's hair.
"I'm just upset, when I'm not doing anything, even though I don't really care, but why do they keep bringing my family and my father's names?"
No one answered, and Liona did not expect any answers either, she just needed some entertainment due to her bad mood!
"Come to the training ground!" Invite Liona, her friends smile, thinking Liona is less excited.
On the field many people glanced at each other, whether it was men or women talking about the incident earlier, actually Liona was called the head of the academy, just because she was lazy she did not come!
"Sir Joseph!"
The sword trainer named Joseph turned to look at Liona who called him, Joseph was a consistent person, he never distinguished social status.
"Ah, have you come? There's a lot of gossip about you." Joseph smiled and gave her a wooden sword.
Although it is allowed to use the original sword, but for practice it is special to use a wooden sword so as not to have an accident while clashing with the opponent.
"I'm sorry, do you feel uncomfortable sir?"
"No, I'm only interested in talent, no matter what happens, even if you dance a hula-hula dance while breaking a teapot, I won't care."
"..."
Sir Joseph left after giving some instructions to Liona, Liona's sword ability could be said to be very good, probably due to the genes of her family as well, remember Duke Asteria was a sword aura!
Liona began to measure the distance and focal point on the tip of the sword, even though it was only a wooden sword, if used correctly even teak trees could be slashed!
The sound of the sword incision on the straw puppet caught the attention of some people, although Liona's training had been somewhat saggy lately, but her speed and dexterity amazed those people.
"Well, even though he humiliated others, his sword ability was indeed extraordinary."
"Right, even I think his brother's sword abilities Young master Alex and young Master Xavier are weaker than Liona."
"If his nature is not bad, I will befriend him."
Liona did not listen to their conversation, only continued to slash the straw with her wooden sword, there were slight sparks as Liona swung the sword.
A while later Liona let out a tired sigh, her feelings were much better, she wiped the sweat with a towel and picked up a bottle of mineral water that was already available in the field.
A man in glasses and silver-bladed, approached Liona, "I rarely praise anything, but your movements are so perfect there are no gaps, you also make the movements as simple as possible and not too heavy, he said, also you're making other people fooled by your moves."
"I'm Edward Marley, a student of science, you can call me Edward, my hobby of observing people and experimenting."
Edward Marley's?
Liona frowned thinking, this name is very familiar to her, like she had seen somewhere.
Uh!
Isn't that Edward Marley Ouranos? A genius man who was appointed prime minister when he was 22 years old, he graduated with Cum Laude!
Edward was noted as the youngest prime minister in the history of the Mavros empire, saying that the title of Ouranos in the can because of his contribution to saving the hunger crisis of the knights who fought with demonic monsters in the Desert.
In the novel Edward hates Liona so much that being unreasonable and immoral, occasionally Liona will insult her poor lowly creatures and utter piercing words.
So even when Liona was beheaded, Edward didn't really care, he thought women like Liona deserved to die rather than live were useless.
"Oh you're a genius it turns out." Mumbled Liona who was still heard by Edward, she blushed slightly, although many praised her genius, but still felt ashamed.
"Ehem ahem, well maybe you already know because of my excellent reputation." Edward coughed.
Liona found it very funny, this Edward is interesting as well, he thought.
"I'm Liona." Liona smiled and stretched out her hand, Edward was a bit stiff at the sight of Liona's hand, he was a clean man, looking at Liona's sweaty hand due to sword practice, Edward felt unwilling to touch her because it was unhygienic.
"Are you going to let my hand hang in the air?" Liona raised both eyebrows, this man was so strange he kept staring at her hand without being willing to welcome her.
Edward stiffly replied, then wiped it with a white handkerchief decorated with pigeons.
"I'm sorry, I'm a clean man." Said Edward, Liona just smiled understandably, is this man mysophobia? Her thought.
Elios, Luther, and Arthur approach Liona, who is talking to another man, although Liona rarely gets along, but she is a very friendly person when she is already a friend.
"Well Liona, your social environment is improving, it's possible that this man is friends with a woman like you." Arthur innocently glanced at Liona.
Luther had already stepped on Arthur's foot, this man's delicate mouth really had to be controlled! If it was not possible they would die because of his overly frontal speech.
The men had suddenly become very familiar, although Edward was a critic, but he was a good enough man who could respect others.
"Can I be friends with you? You guys are quite interesting and also very nice people." Said Edward suddenly.
"Are you sure? We're stamped as rotten people." Ask Arthur.
"Of course, I don't really believe in gossip! I only believe in my own eyes."
