I Reincarnated as a Wicked Girl
Chapter 4. Reina and Robert 2
Previous Story:
Fight's over. Robert made the most contributions. At that time Eva's strength was almost discovered, fortunately Eva managed to evade so that she was not too flashy.
The journey continued without any obstacles. The day began and they decided to rest. At that time Reina began to be interested in Robert because of his strength. And Reina started to approach Robert. Eva looked at everything and she felt a little unsettled.
***
Robert looked at Reina fixedly, he stared at her from top to bottom. Robert's gaze made Reina misunderstand so that she became misbehaved.
"Em...you're Zent's marquis' daughter, aren't you?" finally Robert asked.
Reina nodded. "Mr..."
Robert thought again. In that strange dream. He saw a gaffe, which was when Duke Court began to be convicted of a crime and convicted. He felt Marquis Zent was instrumental in that.
"Actually I was a little confused by the situation in the palace. I heard there was a fight between two factions huh? I don't know too much in detail because I only stayed in the Magic Tower for so many years"
Reina's countenance changed when she heard Robert's words. But he set his face to calm down again.
Note: Reina does not know that Robert is Eva's magic teacher. When Eva announces Robert as a desert at a tea party, the party is attended by the noble children of the Court faction instead of the kingdom. Because the faction of the royal family will not be willing to come even if they are invited.
Actually Reina was worried about this topic because it was about royal politics. But he thought that Robert was on the neutral side, because he was from the Magic Tower. And she also did not want to be considered as a useless and ignorant girl. So, Reina happily told me everything. Of course he added some spice in his story that made him look great indirectly.
"Ep... Ja. The state of the government is not good. I heard that a faction of the former king was plotting a rebellion and was intending to shift the position of the royal family"
"You mean the Court family?" Robert frowned.
Reina nodded with a plain face. "Yes"
"I've met those nobles and they're pretty terrible. I'm so scared. It's a good thing my father was brave so I could survive meeting them. I'm really trying to be a strong girl"
Actually Robert was a little creeped out when he heard Reina's statement but he held her back.
Reina sighed and continued her conversation "They are really sneaky. I heard from my father that they were planning something dangerous. The king was also so scared that the engagement of the crown prince and the duke's daughter was done." Reina looked down at her face. "I really feel sorry for the crown prince. She must be engaged to the duke's daughter as a guarantee for peace. She has absolutely no freedom to be happy" Reina explained in a soft tone.
Robert's mouth twitched upon hearing his explanation.
Poor crown prince? That's not true!! It was her little girl who was poor for having to get engaged to that man! Did that jerk tell Reina nothing, as if she was unfortunate? If so, you shameless bastard!
"Then if for example the engagement is suddenly void, is there any other plan for the Court faction not to rebel?" ask Robert.
"Em.the king had some plans. Nobles on the side of Well's royal family as well"
The deg! Robert was increasingly convinced that there was something among these nobles. He actually did not want to interfere in the politics of the nobility, but if this were to harm Eva, of course he would interfere! He would also tell the old man in the Magic Tower to help if the situation was getting out of hand.
"I didn't know the kingdom was so fucked up right now. If they suddenly attack, do you have any plans to deal with it?" Slowly Robert begins to lure Reina to reveal his plans.
Reina blinked her eyes. "Hm...."He muttered. But just as he was about to open his mouth, crown prince Kano suddenly approached them and interrupted their conversation.
"What are you talking about?" ask the crown prince with an innocent face
He's very curious.
"none...Nothing" Reina frantically dodged.
'Stupid basic! I almost told father's plan to someone else!' his inner. Marquis Zent told him not to give any information or he would be punished. He almost told Robert because he was enjoying the flow of the conversation. It was fortunate that the crown prince of Kano came.
"Em. Dad just told us to be more worried" Reina said directly.
Ck! Robert clicked his tongue. It seemed Reina did not want to tell him anything. Do I have to arrest him and make him confess all his plans?
' Haa, but it will make me feel like a bad person. I'm sure my little girl won't like it and hate me. I better not do it. I'll think of another way' inner Robert.
"You don't want to tell me. Is this a secret thing?" crown prince Kano spoke again.
"Not your highness. We are only talking about the dangers of this trip. Therefore Reina said we should be vigilant" Robert explained with a smile.
"Ah..so...."
***
I peeked at Reina and Robert's conversation from a distance. I don't know what they're talking about. When I tried to use wind magic to eavesdrop. That stupid master threw my magic! It's pissing me off. Was their conversation so secretive that it had to be vigilant like that?
Note: Robert is just being vigilant. She doesn't know it's Eva's magic. He takit it's magic casted by others. So he destroyed his magic.
"What's wrong with your face?" Sayn suddenly came and sat down beside Eva. Right now the little girl had a sullen face. He was sure something was going on and he was very curious.
"It's okay" I replied directly.
But Sayn couldn't believe it. He followed Eva's direction. He saw three people talking there.
"ah! Is it because of them? That's the uncle from the Magic Tower. I know you're very familiar with him. Are you jealous because she's close to someone else?"
"No way!" I immediately denied it. I'm not that jealous of other people. It's just that this feels weird.
The more I saw these main characters interacting with Reina, then I was sure they would slowly disappear from my side. I really feel insecure.
Robert probably won't be my master anymore and hates me. Denis won't be my fiancee anymore either and kill me.
I stared fixedly at Sayn. He probably won't be my friend anymore and hates me.
Thinking about all that really worries me. Actually I want all of them not to interact with Reina, but that's impossible! Because they are all the main characters. And also if I was being selfish like that, I believe my role would still return to the origin according to the storyline in the novel.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Sayn slightly shuddered as Eva stared with sad eyes. He felt like a suspect who made a mistake. Even though he didn't do anything.
I immediately shook my head. "I'm sorry..." I said softly while bowing my head.
Sayn frowned. "What's wrong with you?" tanyanya insisted.
"Say there's nothing!" I said stiffly with a sullen face.
Haa...I let out a breath. "I'm sleepy, I'm going to bed" I said as I walked into my tent.
Sayn is still in place. He looked at Eva while thinking. Then turned his gaze to the other side, where Robert was conversing with two other people.
'There's no way he likes that person and feels jealous?' think Sayn's panicking. He gritted his teeth while looking at Robert displeased.
