I Reincarnated as a Wicked Girl
Chapter 5 Magic Games: Magic City 18
previous story:
They ended up eating together while talking about some topics. The main topic was about the rescue of Eva and the black robes. And the events that happened last night. Although there was some misunderstanding in Reina's mind, Eva didn't really care because it wasn't important to her at all.
***
"Goodbye, Your Majesty. Thank you for the dinner" I said.
We finished our meal, it was time to shop again. I won't ask you anything if they won't tell me. Although I was a little curious as to what these three people did in the Magic City. But I can't force them to tell me that either. I don't want to be hated and considered a bad girl anymore because it's too demanding.
Denis lowered his head while clenching his hands. He seems to want to do something. But he was very doubtful.
"Wait!" denis said later.
I looked up and tilted my head, confused.
"I want to talk to you personally" Denis said. Even without Eva's consent, she pulled her hand and took it somewhere. They chose a small gap between the cities to speak. Leaving Robert, Reina and Jensen in a confused state.
"What's up, Your Majesty? I'm sure you don't have much time right now because you're so busy, right?" many sarcas.
"Don't get me wrong!" jolt Denis straight away.
I scrunched my forehead. "Misunderstand? What's that supposed?"
"I'm in this place because of the royal mission. Although I can't tell you what mission it is. I'm just going on this mission with Jensen. Then the noble girl came following me. I didn't even know he was in this place. So don't get me wrong" Denis said.
I looked at Denis with a confused look. So this person was in the Magic City because of the royal mission. I don't know what mission he's on because the novel never explains it at all. But it turns out Reina only followed Denis to the Magic City because of that mission.
So actually Reina followed Denis to the Magic City to help him. Robert who was in love also helped Reina and without her knowing it she also helped Denis. Is that what happened in the novel? The novel is actually very ambiguous. It did not reveal the reason for Reina's arrival clearly to the Magic City. The novel says that Reina and Robert met by accident. After all it happened in the perspective of Robert (POV Robert), not Reina. Because this Magic Match is Robert's main story in the novel.
Arghh! I'm so confused. It is better not to think too much about such a confusing thing. After all the most important goal was, first, to prevent Reina from obtaining the legendary magical beast and second, to strain her relationship with Robert. I think I've succeeded in doing the second goal. Just try your best at the first goal. For the rest I guess it doesn't really matter for now because it's not the main point in the novel.
"It's not your fault, Your Majesty. I have absolutely no intention of meddling in His Majesty's affairs" I said as I gave my best smile. My words are half truth and half lie. I'm really not interested in Denis' affairs because it's not an important point that threatens my life, according to the novel.
For some reason after hearing the answer and seeing Eva's syneyum, Denis grew increasingly upset. He clenched his arm era-fiber.
'This girl did not care about him at all!' denis's scream was bitter in his mind. He's feeling really upset right now. But he tried to hold back his emotions.
More precisely Denis felt very upset with Eva's uncaring attitude. That girl doesn't care about him at all. Don't want to know about it any further. And not even interested in him! Denis feels his emotions are burning right now. Then when he recalled Eva and Robert's closeness, a chill came straight out of his body.
I saw Denis not responding. "Your Majesty, if nothing is spoken of again. I'm going to resign" I said, saluting Denis and turning around.
"Wait!" but suddenly Denis pulled my hand.
I looked up and our eyes looked at each other.
"I'll protect you. I will definitely protect you!" denis said suddenly. Then he let go of his grip and turned away. Leaving me in confusion.
What happened to Denis? Is his brain damaged? Why was he speaking randomly and indistinctly today.
"I don't understand at all" I muttered with my mouth twitching.
But won't he protect me? Is this a dream? It's totally unexpected that Denis would say such a thing.
But I did not think about it anymore and turned to the restaurant to approach the others. But only Robert was left waiting for me. I didn't see Reina and Jensen. Maybe those two guys went to Denis.
"They're gone" Robert said later as he watched Eva wander about.
I nodded in understanding.
"Mastaa, let's go around again" I said casually as I pulled Robert's hand out of the diner.
***
After talking privately with Eva, Denis somehow could not control his embarrassment and ran away. He passed through several small alleys before arriving at a different street. Then a few minutes later, Reina and Jensen caught up with him.
"What's up, Your Majesty? Why is your face flushed? Are you sick?" said Reina suddenly while holding Denis cheek.
Denis's eyes widened and he slammed Reina's hand "I'm not sick at all"
Then he gave Reina a sharp look. "I told you I don't need you, did I? Why did you follow me secretly and ask me to meet?" denis was not happy.
Reina lowered her head, feeling guilty. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty" he said softly. "I really want to help you, therefore I strengthen my resolve." his hands clenched hard. Then he looked up and looked at Denis seriously "I'm not afraid of being scolded. I'm not afraid of being kicked out. I'll help Your Majesty!"
Seeing the girl's earnestness, Denis' anger subsided. He sighed. "So what did you get?"
Reina's eyes sparkled and she smiled. "Your Majesty, thank you. I found some way to smooth out His Majesty's plan. I've already persuaded the team of the Magic Soul. And they agreed to help! This is really happy news. The more people who help, the easier we will find it" explained Reina with a beaming face.
He thought Denis would praise him, but it turned out that Denis suddenly yelled at him. "Basic stupid! Why are you telling our mission to strangers! Do you want to die!"
DEG! Reina was silent for a moment in shock. He broke out in cold sweat and his heart was beating fast. "I. I didn't say anything about the mission.I just asked them to help me find something.and they agreed.because we are friends..." clearly Reina was stammered with fear.
Denis is calm. He stared intently at Reina for a few seconds before turning away.
"I hope it's all true" Denis said coldly leaving his last words behind.
Reina stood on a small and deserted street. Head lowered. On his forehead a little sweat was pouring out. His heart was beating fast too. Face pale. Her eyes were teary from almost crying. Actually he told Denis a little lie. He did divulge Denis' mission to find the magic tool. He leaked that the Crown Prince wanted to save his country. Not forgetting he added that there were many treasures there, the Magic Soul team could take the rest as they only needed one treasure. He thought back that he was really stupid back then. Why could he reveal everything so easily like that. If Denis knew, he'd hate her. Reina didn't want any of that to happen. He'll hold on. He'll make Denis successfully carry out his mission and he's sure of it. After all in his mind, the people in Magic Soul were good people. They'll definitely help him.
