I Reincarnated as a Wicked Girl
Chapter 3. Vivian and Reina
Previous Story:
Eva and Vivian take a walk in the capital. They visit a strange shop that sells magic tools. The shop had many strange rumors, from belonging to the academy's principal to making a weapon of destruction. The payment in the store was also strange, which was to use mana. Eva bought some advanced spell books and Vivian bought books on magic formations.

I asked Vivian where to eat good recommendations. Vivian took me to one of the famous restaurants among the nobles. The restaurant is very expensive and the food is very good. About the expensive price, I did not think too much about it, the important thing is that it tastes good.
When I first saw the look of the building, I felt it was too much and too luxurious. But when it went inside, the thought was instantly gone. The atmosphere inside the restaurant felt simple but elegant. And full of rare green plants. L like it. The place is very comfortable and not noisy. The restaurant is also divided into two floors.
We headed to the ground floor because this place was not too crowded. The waiters were very friendly when they welcomed us. The waiter started giving her menu and I handed Vivian the food selection. It's my first time going to this place, the "Eat Meal" restaurant". This restaurant turned out to be not only famous among the nobility, but in all circles. I glanced around and saw a few tradesmen or commoners were also here.
"Well of course. The prices in the menu are divided into cheap and expensive. Those traders could still order food if they wanted to. Even sometimes these restaurants give discounts to ordinary people." Vivian explained casually.
I nodded in understanding.
A few minutes later, the food we ordered started to arrive.
I started to see the table in front of me. There are all kinds of food. There's grilled meat, bread, soup and everything else.
"This is my favorite meal here" Vivian said as she offered me a piece of cake.
"Oh. Isn't this just chocolate cake?"
"They added milk you know? I didn't know that milk was very suitable combined with chocolate. Even I hear milk can also be made into a cosmetic tool to care for the skin. This product is popular among noble girls." Vivian said with shining eyes.
"..."
I'm speechless. I forgot I was in a novel. And the centuries in this novel are like those of old Europe. Still using the government system. Of course such a thing was a new discovery in their eyes.
"I.iya" I replied in an awkward tone. I can't answer "it's normal" or I'll hurt Vivian.
We started eating. I tasted food one by one on the table. Everything's delicious! This hungry stomach of mine actually screamed as the food entered my stomach!
"This food is so good! This place is so popular!" I said enthusiastically while looking at Vivian.
"?"
But Vivian didn't seem to hear me. He looked to the side and looked. What's he looking at?
I followed her gaze and saw Reina! The girl also went to this restaurant. Reina walked along with three other girls. They seem to be commoners. I can tell from the academy uniforms still worn by them.

"Well, this place is so big~" said the girl beside him with a tone of admiration and sparkling eyes.
"Food here must be expensive. We can't afford it"
"You guys just calm down. I'll pay for it. I really want to eat with you guys" Reina replied in a sweet tone with a smile.
"uh?" Reina was shocked as she looked ahead. She saw Vivian being with Eva and eating cheerfully.
Vivian also looked. And they looked at each other.
Reina smiled then walked over to Vivian with excitement.
"Sister!" he said with a happy tone.
"...." Vivian and I didn't say anything.
I looked at Reina from top to bottom. This girl...isn't she too needy? After such a conflict, she still pretended that she was familiar with Vivian. Look at that happy smile. He really doesn't feel guilty. She's a pretty optimistic girl. He quickly forgets the conflict with others and pretends that he is close to that person. Well, that's the main character's skill.
"Ah, greetings Miss Eva~" she said in a sweet tone and looked at me.
Instantly I goosebumps.
She's a really great girl.
I can deal with it normally. But not with Vivian. I saw his face was already flushed and his hands clenched tightly holding in anger.
BRUK! Vivian directly hit the table with her fist.
"Why are you here..?" he said with a trembling voice holding his scream.
"Don't show your face in front of me again!" yelled Vivian while pointing at Reina.
His shout made the attention of all the guests in the restaurant look at us.
I'm sweating cold. How'this? Doesn't Vivian hate Reina too much? He could not even contain his anger in public. This could be terrible. I don't want them to fight and make a fuss.
"Why does my sister always scold me? Always even yell at me? What's my fault." said Reina lirih. He started to criticize. I saw tears coming out of his eyes.
"You! You always act like this! Act weak like this. You.kau!" vivian said furiously while staring at Reina's hate.
Vivian remembered. Occurrences in the mansion. When she has not decided to move in the dormitory and when Reina starts to enter their house as her father's son. Vivian did not hate Reina at first. He even treated the girl as his own sister. But because it was too good, Reina began to act bravely. Reina started stealing her things. From clothes, hairpins and cosmetics. He still remained indifferent to his attitude because the items were not important.
But one day, Reina picks up her mother's necklace! Vivian was furious at the time. He searches for Reina and has the butler put Reina into the dungeon of his house. Punish him so he won't steal again.
But that was known to the Marquis. The Marquis began to get angry because the state of his daughter was very sad in prison. The marquis started to scold Vivian. Vivian begins to explain the reason why she punished Reina.
But Reina said this, she still remembered it. "I didn't steal that necklace...That necklace I found it.." he said in a pitiful tone.
Vivian's getting angry. Reina was clearly lying. Vivian always kept the necklace like a treasure because it was her mother's relic. He kept it in the most expensive jewelry box and put it well in the closet.
The marquis grew even more sad when he saw Reina almost crying. Dia looked at Vivian and scolded her. "How could you be so greedy? Even if it's your stuff you still have to share it with your sister! Did you forget where you got all your stuff? From money!" the Marquis said rudely.
Vivian immediately gasped at the Marquis's words. His eyes immediately glazed over. He clenched his hands tightly, trying to endure the cries of sadness mixed with anger.
"Alright.." said Vivian growled. "From now on I'll return all that stuff. I will return everything." Vivian said angrily as she walked away. But he turned around for a moment. "But you should know something Marquis." he said coldly. "The necklace that Reina took was not bought with your money. It belonged to my mother, and there was no way I would put such a precious item down so carelessly" Then she turned around.
After that incident Vivian decided to leave the mansion. He only brought the things his mother bought. But he was confused where to go. Then he remembered that in the academy there was a dormitory. So he arranged for her to move to the dorm. He has set his goal. After graduation, he would completely sever ties with the Marquis and establish his own foundation among the nobles.
Before the academy's opening, he stayed for a few days at the inn before moving in the dormitory. At that moment he started hearing rumors in the capital. There are many rumors that make him curious. Since then, Vivian has been following the latest rumors in the capital. But there was one rumor that was never forgotten in his memory.
"I heard that Marquis Zent brought the biological daughter of his lover. Well, you know...Marquis Zent did not love his wife at all. They married because of political marriage. So after his wife died, he took the child of his beloved, whom he loved dearly. But it's unfortunate. Marquis Zent profited from his wife's fortune, he got a lot of inheritance now. And the financials are very stable"
Hearing the rumors, the hatred in Vivian's eyes grew even greater. He hates Reina so much and hopes to destroy the girl. He also hated the Marquis, but the Marquis remained his father. There is a sense of hesitation to hate your own parents. So he piled up his hatred at just one point, which was Reina.
Right now, the person he hated the most, was standing in front of him. They were happy as if they were familiar. The most shameless one, he did not even apologize in the slightest for his mistake. How willing to apologize, this cunning girl did not even admit that she stole!
"In the end the commoners remained commoners. Their wild attitude remains embedded in their brains" Vivian murmured.
His murmur was heard by Reina's friends. And the look on their faces immediately turned to displeasure.
"Why the common people?"
"You're humbling us just because we're not nobles?"
"Reina is a good girl. She's different from arrogant and evil girls like you"
"What's wrong with Reina. He just greeted you. Why are you guys yelling at him like that? Although he was once a commoner, his blood was noble! You can't demean it!"
That's what they say. That made all the restaurant guests focus on us. Vivian and I were instantly filled with hateful gazes in an instant. I'm sure there will soon be rumors that "the duke's daughter bullies ordinary people" and "the stepbrother bullies her sister".
And also what does this "you" mean? I didn't speak at all from earlier. But I was directly involved. And get involved automatically into the bad guys. I'm not happy they accused me of that. But I asked him.
"Already, Vivian. We're still learning after we get back, you need to calm your mind" I said, persuading Vivian. I don't want this to get complicated.
Then I looked at Reina. "we're sorry. Vivian's emotions aren't good that's why she's angry" I said trying to explain.
"HOMPHS!" I heard one of Reina's friends snort in annoyance.
Reina again did not answer my apology. His face was sad. And her tears are still flowing.
In an instant I heard some vague whispers from the restaurant guests. Because of Reina's increasingly miserable attitude, I'm sure they misunderstood that I said something that hurt Reina.
I looked at Reina fixedly. This girl is too hard. I don't know if he's naive and stupid, so his attitude is like this. Or is this just a made-up attitude?
"What's this?" a cold voice rang out and echoed throughout the restaurant. The whole whisper was silent and we stared at the entrance.
It's Denis! He was with the second prince. He came in while looking around. When our eyes met, he immediately approached us.
Don't forget to leave LIKE
