I Reincarnated as a Wicked Girl
Chapter 4. Reina and Robert
Robert tried to finish the fight as soon as possible. And he managed to defeat him in just fifteen minutes. Well, Robert's getting stronger. Even a level 8 magic beast was nothing to him.
Sayn who was near Eva noticed that the girl was staring at Robert with sparkling eyes. Sayn was not happy. Somehow he regretted refusing to fight with the lion. He's also very strong. He wanted to show it to Eva. Even the uncle would be overwhelmed by it. He was not happy to see Eva looking at Robert with those eyes full of admiration. And there was a hint of envy towards Robert in his heart.
After all the magical beasts were defeated, they took the carcass of the beast to make it into a craft. The carcasses were divided equally. And Robert had the carcass of the Lion King because he had defeated him himself.
I refused when they gave me the carcass. I have no interest in collecting animal carcasses. Not interested at all.
After the fight, everyone started cheering. Robert received much praise for his greatest service. Reina too. The crown prince and a few children from the academy as well.
I didn't even think they would praise me. I mean.I didn't do anything at all.
"Good work little girl" praised crown prince Kano as he approached me. "It turns out your ability is quite great because it can avoid the attack of the beast and you can also throw his body with magic"
"Um.it's just a coincidence, Your Majesty" I try humbly not to look flashy.
"I also saw you heal your friend. Are you a user of the light element?" asked the crown prince bluntly which made everyone's attention turn to Eva. They are waiting for the answer.
I feel awkward and nervous about being the center of attention. "No. I only use magic tools".
The crown prince was disappointed after hearing Eva's reply, but he kept smiling. "Em. The boy survived because of you"
"Thank you Your Majesty"
Finally, after being confirmed, everyone no longer showed any interest in Eva and returned with their respective duties.
"Just calm. I'll keep it a secret for you okay" Lilac whispered in a happy tone.
"Um"
All the magical beast carcasses were cleaned. Then the bodies of all the dead were burned and their ashes were kept in jugs in order to be delivered to their families. Actually, this is unnatural. Usually the bodies are left or buried in place so as not to be eaten on the spot. This is the princess's request.
After doing everything, we continued our journey. The journey was safe for a few hours. It was dark and we decided to stop again
In order not to happen the same, Robert sent out a protection spell around the tent. He also detected the nearby surroundings. Fear of suspicious movements or sudden attacks.
Just like before, the princes and princesses sat quietly, while the servants began to cook them food. Then we sat around to eat our food.
The difference is, we didn't sit far apart this time, but formed a group. This is the crown prince's suggestion that we should not group separately. And he also tried to bring the students of the academy closer to his brother.
There is one thing that is most striking. Reina approached Robert and they chatted familiarly!
I'm watching them. And I feel very unhappy. I'm not jealous, I just feel abandoned. But there's no way Robert's ignoringkh just because he's starting to like Reina isn't it? I'm sure Robert isn't that kind of person.
I saw them talking all hour before we all went back to our respective tents to sleep.
I wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation out of curiosity. But I'm sure Robert would know, so I didn't. And just watching from far away.

Reina then saw Robert sitting alone and somewhat apart from the others.
"Ah, this is my chance to get more familiar with the teacher" Reina thought.
So he started to approach Robert.
"Excuse me teacher.." she greeted Robert in a gentle and timid tone. He was trying to be polite.
Robert's attention was distracted and he looked at Reina with narrowed eyes. Then he smiled. "Pulse...What's up?"
"Em. Can I sit here?"
Robert nodded. "No problem" Then he started ignoring Reina.
Reina knew that the situation was getting awkward, so she tried to change the atmosphere.
"Em.. teacher. I mean how did you learn all that magic?" he said with awe. "Very different from me. I can only use light magic" he said disappointedly.
"Your magic isn't bad. It will develop after you practice" Robert replied in a casual tone.
He actually wanted to end his conversation. But suddenly he remembered something.
He recalls a strange dream he had because of Eva's dark magic. Back then, he had always seen this light girl in a dream. He didn't know why it could be like that, as if he had another life he didn't know.
So Robert started to look at Reina curiously. She was very curious how Eva could dream of this light girl. Even this girl had always appeared in the entire dream as if she was the main character
Robert smiled. He felt this was his chance to dig up information. He wanted to know some things because he felt an odd thing in the dream. Even he felt puzzled, how could he be interested in Reina. So I try to find out everything.
