I Reincarnated as a Wicked Girl
Chapter 6 Lena
Previous story:
For the remaining two days, Eva spent her time with Vivian. He even introduced Vivian to Fram and Rexus. Vivian welcomes Fram enthusiastically because she likes young children. But he did not particularly welcome Rexus, because he did not like reptiles. So that made Rexus feel a little offended.
Two days passed, and Ren came to pick them up. Fram and Rexus were joined as well. Fram misses her hometown. While Rexus was very curious about the existence of the old dragon in the elf village.
They went to the dark elf palace, immediately teleported to the palace hall.The moment they arrived like there was a serious problem, so Ren sent them first to the guest room.
***
It's still noon. It makes no sense Ren told us to rest in the room. He seems very busy now. It was his fault too because he had died too long ago from the palace. So that his work is really piling up now. It may take a long time to wait for her to visit here.
The guest rooms provided by Ren were spacious and magnificent. I like the design. But somehow the aura in this place is not pleasant. It was as if there were a lot of eyes watching when there was no one here.
Evan woke up and cried hard. Diana immediately delighted him and gave him some milk.
"Mother, you've been here before, haven't you? Do you remember the palace plans?" I asked with a little enthusiasm. There was actually a small desire in my heart to sneak up and explore this palace secretly. It could be, we can meet Emerta more quickly without having to bring Ren.
Diana shook her head slowly. "I don't remember her at all." she replied softly. For Diana, this palace already feels foreign to her, even though in the past she had visited this place.
I'm quite disappointed actually. I slightly hoped Diana would remember some places so that I could explore without worry. But Diana had completely forgotten about this place.
But I have not lost interest in exploring this palace at all. And now is the perfect time to explore secretly.
Diana is busy taking care of Evan so she completely forgets Eva's whereabouts. Eva took advantage of this opportunity to sneak out of the room by teleportation. Not forgetting he used magic to make his body translucent.
Rexus remained faithful to accompany her in her small rattan bag. But the boy was still sound asleep. He simply moved himself from Eva's head into a bag filled with padded pillows only to go back to sleep.
This is my first time in the palace hallway. It really feels big, quiet and dark. Actually I'm a little scared. But there are no ghosts in this world, right? So I don't have to be afraid of anything. Because ghosts do not exist in this world. I'm trying to convince myself.
I kept going down the hallway. Since I used magic, the sound of my footsteps was completely inaudible. Making a very quiet atmosphere is scary.
This place is a palace. But why so quiet? I never saw a single servant or bodyguard pass by. It was as if this was a forbidden area that was afraid of being visited by others.
I even idly tried to open the foreign doors beside the wall. But everything's locked. I won't be able to get in except by destroying her. And there's no way I'd break a door like that for no apparent reason. Ren could later sue me for damages for destruction of property. I can't go inside by teleportation either because I haven't visited that place at all.
I continued down the hall until I finally saw the light ahead. There's a very large page there. And gosh! That page is beautiful.
Who would have thought that there was a colorful garden in this sesuram palace. This palace is very strange. The yard is very beautiful and well maintained. But the inside of his palace was very sad. It was as if none of them had any design talent. But they have talented gardeners to care for the garden.
The page is divided into two sides. The right side is full of colorful flower fields. I don't know what kind of flowers are there. But they're so beautiful.
Then on the other side was a huge lake that was very clear. There is a bridge built on the lake and on top of the bridge there is a cottage/white gazebo. Reminds me of fairyland. Usually the main cast would drink tea together in such a beautiful place.
I'm sure the one who built the concept of a park like this was a woman. Because it is impossible for men to think of a feminine concept like this. I wondered who would come up with such a concept.
"What are you doing here?" a cold voice suddenly tickled my ears.
"Aah!"
Reflexes, I immediately shouted and jumped. Even Rexus who was asleep inside the rattan bag woke up from a sudden shock.
There's someone behind me. She was an elven girl with silvery hair. He looks like he's the same age as me. But his body is shorter than mine.
While watching her appearance from top to bottom, I smiled proudly. Especially when looking at the chest area. There are also people smaller than me! So if anyone insulted me again, I could easily defend myself and say that there was something smaller and shorter than me.
"Who are you an intruder!?" the elf girl groaned while grinding her teeth.
"Hm?" I just realized now. Isn't my body now transparent? But why can this elf girl see me?
"Who are you!" the elf girl shouted while swinging her fists to attack me.
I swiftly dodged. His attack is very weak. Even Wiya might be stronger than him. Well, after all she's just a little girl. So I understand her.
The elf girl slumped forward as Eva dodged. His hand was only about the air. Fortunately, he managed to hold his leg back so as not to fall forward.
After successfully stabilizing her position, the elf girl turned to look at Eva with hatred. "Who are you a lousy intruder? I'll call the bodyguards to arrest you!" she screamed like a baby.
"Guards! The bodyguard!" He screamed while crying. "There's intruders! The intruder hurt me! Catch Him!"
"Hey, quiet! I'm not an intruder! I'm Ren's guest!" i protested.
The girl looked shocked. Then his face turned ugly. "How dare you call His Majesty, my brother, by his name! You are not polite! Guards, get him!"
The three guards just stood in a daze. Since Eva was still using her magic, they did not see anyone's whereabouts right now. So they were confused as to who they should catch now.
Umu? Ren is his brother?
Now I remember it! This elf girl was Ren's half-sister. He's just like me. She is one of the female antagonists who appears at the end of the story.
He is one of the characters who seeks to ruin the relationship between Reina and Ren during their adventure. This girl set a trap for Reina several times. And almost made Reina lose her life several times. When Ren found out, this girl was immediately exiled somewhere. There is no further explanation in the novel about his fate.
"Lena!" a cold voice appeared and made the air around me tremble. The guards immediately dropped themselves to pay their respects. That person was Ren.
The elf girl turned her head when her name was called. But he didn't look as frightened as the other bodyguards. He even smiled widely with sparkling eyes.
"Sister!" she screamed happily while hugging Ren's feet. "You're back. I miss you so much huaa" and she starts crying. "I know you're coming. But, but the old men forbade me from entering the hall. They were very fond of huaa" she kept crying. Even her tears were slowly wetting Ren's clothes.
But Ren was not at all angry with his attitude. She caressed Lena's head, her expression softened. He already thinks of it as family. So Ren loved her very much.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you" she felt guilty.
Seeing the interaction of the two, I tilted my head in confusion. They seem to love each other, but why did Ren throw it away. Even though she had hurt Reina out of jealousy, Ren had known Lena for a long time. And they've spent a lot longer. Than Reina who only met her in a short time.
"Eva? What are you doing here?" Ren turned his gaze to me.
Okay, he's angry. I instantly canceled my magic and pointed at my real body. Paea's bodyguard jerked slightly as I appeared all of a sudden.
"I'm just taking a walk" I replied awkwardly.
"Don't I tell you, I'll see you? But why are you still hanging around?"
"I'm really sorry.." I said sincerely.
"Sister? Who's that ugly girl?" ask Lena with a sarcastic tone. She dislikes Ren and Eva's interactions. She is not happy if there are other women who are close to her brother even though they are just friends. He always got rid of such people, so readers dubbed him the poisonous half-sister.
"He's my friend. Don't be so disrespectful" Ren advised her.
Lena doesn't care. He just grunted annoyedly.
Ren looked back at Eva.
"It's not that I don't allow you to go around the palace. It's just that the timing is not right at all. What if you get lost? This place is not as peaceful as it seems" Ren explained.
"Sorry.." I apologize once again.
I'm really sloppy. I realized my curiosity could put me in danger. But I don't know why I keep doing it even though I know it. It was as if my subconscious wanted it.
"So, what are you doing here?" Ren asked again.
I told Ren the truth. I have no purpose. I just walked down the hall at random and occasionally pushed through the door I met. Then I got to this courtyard and met a beautiful sight.
"This page is beautiful. The flower garden and the lake. Whoever designed it is truly a genius" I said unknowingly.
Hearing Eva's words, Lena smiled triumphantly. "I designed it. It was all my idea!" he said with a proud tone.
"Oh?" I blinked in shock. Who would have thought that this arrogant little girl would have such excellent eyes. "Your eyes are really good" I praised him sincerely.
Hearing Eva's praise, Lena's anger at her faded slightly. But he still doesn't like it. Just because her anger is fading, doesn't mean she likes it.
"My eyes are really good. Big brother Ren said my eyes are treasures" he said in a proud tone.
"Lena" Ren immediately reprimanded her. As if to forbid him to speak any further. And Lena according. He quickly closed his mouth.
Very good eyes...
Is that why he can see me even if I use invisibility magic? He can see me with the naked eye. I am sure his eyes are special. All of these things are never explained in the novel. So I'm pretty curious. But I didn't dare to ask directly about Lena's eyes. That's a very secret thing isn't it. Although I'm curious, I won't dig into anyone else's secrets. It's different if it's an enemy or a person I hate.
