Reborn As Villain's
Chapter 17: Ball Part 3.

"Ah... It's about--".

Unable to finish his words, Dylan and Ritzia were instantly made speechless by a voice belonging to another person who was like greeting.

"We haven't seen each other in 2 years, yes!! Mr. Dylan".

Looking at the source of the voice, both Dylan and Ritzia could not hide the apparent discomfort from the expressions of the two.

"Yes.... Long time no see, Princess Vanessa".

Although reluctant, inevitably Dylan had to return a greeting from Vanessa.

(Ah, really hard. Why is this narcissistic bin ngeselin's daughter here? Shit, I want to run away. But, I can't).

"Although it's only been 2 years, it looks like you have changed a lot, yes..... Increasingly, getting taller and handsome only".

With a sweet smile on her face Vanessa spoke to Dylan. The truth is that Dylan himself was willing to talk to him.

"Thank you for the compliment, Princess. I feel flattered. And so are you, the more interesting".

Although Dylan gave praise, he actually avoided saying "beautiful". And replace it with the word "interesting", so that he does not regret ever praising Vanessa.

(Anjai, what am I really talking about? Mah, because it's already gone, yes how else).

"Oh, really.... I'm flattered".

Although smiling and showing a happy expression, actually one of Vanessa's eyebrows was moving up and down, like holding something back.

The incident, where Dylan was spoken to by 2 Daughters of the King, especially by Second Princess Vanessa.

Making everyone look enviously at him, especially the few young nobles who were actually also very interested in Vanessa and hoped to talk to her.

"Woi... What the fuck?".

"What's the truth?".

"It's not just the Ritzia Princess. Even Princess Vanessa greeted the man".

"Damn I also want to be greeted by Princess Vanessa".

"What's so great about him?".

"About the son of a Hero. He thinks he can show off in front of us".

The young nobles were constantly whispering as they continued to mock Dylan. The truth is Dylan himself doesn't care about it.

"Oh yeah.... By the way, why is Ritzia Nee-sama together, Mr Dylan?".

Vanessa immediately turned her gaze towards the Ritzia and tried to ask her Brother.

"Ah. I'm just curious about the man who saved you. And also I want to thank him.... Then, we started chatting together and telling a lot of things".

"We also throw jokes at each other..... I admit talking to you was really fun, Ritzia".

"Just like you, Dylan.... I didn't think you had a lot of funny stories".

The two praised each other and ignored Vanessa's existence.

"Oh, that's it. Very attentive..... And it's a miracle you got along so quickly".

Vanessa, who still maintains her graceful smile, complimented the closeness of Dylan and Ritzia who can quickly get along with each other.

And then Vanessa spoke again.

"Oh yes, about the thanks..... If I can be honest.... I don't "need" Nee-sama to represent me to thank Mr. Dylan".

"Huh?".

Despite smiling, Vanessa's words made Ritzia very surprised.

"I told him directly..... Besides, instead of that Nee-sama, isn't there something you'd rather fix?".

"What do you mean, Vanessa?".

"I mean, please stop acting like a "little kid", yeah".

Vanessa uttered that extremely cruel sentence with a cheerful smiling expression to her own Brother. And worse, Vanessa spoke in a voice everyone could hear.

"In recent times, the Palace has often received many complaints from many parties over the tomboyish attitude of Nee-sama....... Not just from the teachers....... Some councils, nobles and people also began to complain..... If this continues, it is possible that the people and the nobles will doubt the etiquette of the Royal family.... Not just got there. Even Her Majesty the Queen has already started to feel disappointed and dissatisfied".

Vanessa continued to speak regardless of the state of the Ritzia who was starting to be shaken because she was humiliated by her own sister in front of everyone.

"Honestly from the bottom of my heart, I would love for Nee-sama to change and learn to be the "Real Princess" and leave a very "inappropriate" childish attitude" for members of the Royal family".

The ritzia who had been greatly shaken could not reply the slightest word of Vanessa. Seeing that instead of apologizing Vanessa even more so.

"Oh, please don't take heart huh. Nee-sama.... I only convey some complaints from people who are not satisfied with the attitude of Nee-sama so far..... Well, maybe Nee-sama will hate me for this.... But, what I did was just to help Nee-sama..... And, this is my affection form as a sister-----".

POUR.

"--- uh?".

There was a sudden sound of water splashing, and it shocked everyone in the Ball hall and even the Ritzia and Vanessa herself.

How not?

The sound of the water splashing was actually from Dylan who had deliberately doused Vanessa with a full cup of tea in front of everyone.

"WHAT DID HE JUST DO?!!!!!".

"WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HIS ATTITUDE?!!!!".

"CAN HE TREAT A KING'S DAUGHTER LIKE THAT?!!!!".

Everyone was in unison shocked and said the same thing when seeing Dylan's brazen actions to Princess Vanessa.

Vanessa who was still in shock and confused by what had befallen her, turned her gaze to Dylan who was currently staring very frighteningly. And his eyeballs turned red.

"I'd guess.... The only way to silence your mouth is to water you".

"Mr Dy-dylan.... Wh-why?".

Vanessa who was still confused tried to ask Dylan.

"Originally you know, Vanessa.... From my point of view, the Ritzia is a thousand times better than you and everyone here..... It is true, that this is the first time we met and had a short chat together..... But, all the attitudes that have been done so far are on "his own desires" and not the coercion of others".

"What are you talking about?".

"What I want to say, Ritzia is a princess who can determine which way she will go and what attitude to take...... I do not know what "childish" attitude is meant by you or everyone who is here.... But in my opinion, as long as his attitude and actions do not violate 3 things such as, breaking the rules, harming society, or even tarnishing his moral values as a human being..... So whatever the action, it's not a problem".

Unsatisfied who spoke, Dylan immediately pointed his right index finger at Vanessa and returned to speaking.

"And as his sister... Supposedly, you can understand and support his brother, not even drop his pride in front of everyone".

Vanessa who could not stand Dylan's attitude immediately denied his words.

"I don't underestimate Nee-sama's self-esteem.... I'm just expressing the grievances of some people who regret their attitude".

"Who are you and those who have the right to complain with the Ritzia's attitude?".

Vanessa was rendered speechless when she heard what Dylan said.

"If you want to complain.... Then complain to His Majesty..... Because he's the one who has the right to advise the Ritzia...... Not you or anyone else..... But in fact, even if your complaints are heard..... His Majesty himself did not take any action.... Which meant, there was nothing wrong with the Ritzia's attitude all along as a King's Princess".

Dylan let out a deep breath and spoke again.

"I'll be frank..... It was not the Ritzia who had a "childish" attitude".... Unless you're "childish", Vanessa".

"I..... Childish?..... What kind of shit is that?..... I am a princess.... A daughter who is respected and praised by everyone..... Saying that my attitude is childish?..... Don't joke with me".

Vanessa was completely shaken by what she had just heard. While Dylan just looked at him silently then spoke again by holding both hands.

"It turns out, you're indeed an anti-critic princess, huh.... Still thinking about yourself".

"Eh?".

"Vanessa, all the attitudes you've been doing..... It's nothing more than your satisfaction..... You're happy when everyone's watching you.... You're happy when everyone praises you..... You're happy when everyone follows you..... You're happy when everyone grants you anything you ask.... You're happy when everyone agrees with the point of view you have..... And you will be very upset if there are some things that do not go according to your wishes..... All of that is the form and proof of how childish you are......... So, let me say this blatantly...... "In this world, not everything goes according to what you want".... Let's keep it all right".

Ignoring the shock of Vanessa, Ritzia and everyone, Dylan immediately walked over to leave the Ball hall.

"I must admit, your plan to bring me here under the pretext of "Ball's invitation from His Majesty" was indeed effective.... But next time..... Look for a more professional person to spread "bad rumors" about me..... Both you and your followers are the same..... Equally TRASH".

After being satisfied to say that, Dylan immediately walked back leaving everyone especially Vanessa in shock and confusion.

In fact, Vanessa clenched her back teeth and clenched fists as hard as she could. As a sign of aggravation and anger mixed into one.

Vanessa this time faced a very painful fact, that there is someone out there who will not submit and follow her requests and orders.

And that man is Dylan van Arcadia. A man who blatantly rejected himself outright and even to the point of humiliating himself was a Royal Princess in front of everyone.

(--------------)

Dylan did not immediately go back to the inn, but instead he went to the garden next to the party hall.

Why is Dylan there?

Dylan went there, to meet Filaret, who he thought had been in the park for too long to find "fresh air". He also planned to take Filaret home early.

"Where is that fira? He said he was just looking for "fresh air", but really long.... Hm?".

When Dylan was complaining while walking. Suddenly his steps stopped because he saw the scene in front of him. After how many breaths Dylan opened his mouth.

"Haa.... You're anywhere. He said, just looking for "fresh air" but why so long?".

"I'm sorry, Nii-san.... Because I'm so preoccupied with sitting here that I forgot about the party".

"Heeee...... "Funny" huh? You meanit..... "Pretentiousness" is beating these people up".

The scene that was in front of Dylan at the moment. It was Filaret who had just beaten some girls unconscious and bled. Even the blood splashes of those people were exposed on the face and the fancy dress she was wearing.

When talking to Dylan, Filaret's right hand was grabbing the hair of a girl who was fainting and her left foot stepped on the girl who was lying.

Seeing the criminal acts committed by his sister Dylan just react to it very casually.

"Yare, yare, Fira..... Don't over-hit both your sisters and their colleagues..... If they die, they can be troubled".

"Let them all die. Their lives are of no use.... Anyway, it's their own fault they're looking for trouble with me".

Filaret casually ignored Dylan's warning.

"What did they do to make you emotional?".

"They were mocking Father, Mother and especially Nii-san.... If they make fun of me, I don't care at all".

Suddenly Filaret's expression became very frightening, and spoke again.

"But they dare to ridicule those whom I love dearly...... Therefore, I give them a little punishment".

"Well, you like it. Fira. But, don't you realize something really important?".

"Something that matters? What is that?"

Dylan let out a deep breath and spoke again.

"Something that matters...... It's a fancy dress that your mom is wearing, too dirty and a lot of bloodshed".

Filaret, immediately looked towards the luxurious dress she was wearing. After a few seconds, Filaret immediately screamed loudly until he threw the girl he had just snapped.

"YAAAAA....... HOW IS THIS NII-SAN?!!!! MOTHER'S GIFT DRESS IS DIRTY BECAUSE OF THEIR BLOOD!!!!! It's bad, if mom finds out...... THEN FINISH MY HISTORY!!!!!".

Filaret was frightened while imagining the face of Pavline who was currently showing an expression like a savage beast about to pounce on its prey.

Seeing his frantic sister Dylan immediately touch his sister's shoulder and start chanting magic spells.

"Clean".

In the blink of an eye, all the blood on Filaret's dress instantly disappeared like clean as if it had just been worn.

Clean is a non-attribute magic that Dylan created himself. This magic originated from Dylan who wanted to cleanse himself after training in the forest. Because he had to walk a long way into the forest to soak in the river.

Dylan began to think of creating magic that would make it easier for him to clean up. And after hundreds of times of experimentation and stringing magic formula.

Eventually Dylan managed to create a non-attribute magic that could cleanse not just the body or use it from dirt alone. But, it also repairs the damage to the torn clothes.

"Thank you Nii-san. You are my guardian angel".

Filaret immediately thanked her brother for helping her.

"Thank you later.... Now, let's go... The party was really boring".

"Yes, you're right Nii-san. Let's just go".

The two decided to go together back to the inn. But before that, Dylan started asking Filaret something.

"Oh yeah, Fira..... How is their fate?".

Dylan glanced at the people, and Filaret answered him quickly.

"Biarin.... Entar was also found and treated by the guards".

"That's it, all right. Let's go".

"Ready".

Casually they ignored those people and leisurely walked away from the Palace residence and walked towards the back to the inn.

(------------)

At the Ball party.

Right after Dylan left, Gnecci was stunned and shocked to see that Dylan was the one who had humiliated him at the Ball party that was dedicated to Nobles.

Even more shocking, despite the fact that Dylan was the son of a noble. He had not expected that Dylan was the son of the heroes of the Ice and Light Sword Priesthood Kingdom, Hyoga van Arcadia and the All-Performing Witch, Pavline van Arcadia.

Apart from the title of both his parents who hold the title of Earl. In fact, Hyoga and Pavline were very famous among the people whose influence was even greater than the Rostvard family who held the title of Duke.

Gnecci was currently overwhelmed with overwhelming anxiety. All of that was due to him sending some assassins to finish off Dylan without knowing who he was.

Though he knows that the assassins he sent failed with proof that Dylan was present at Ball's party right in front of his eyes.

But, he was worried that his actions would be discovered. Not to mention, Dylan who had a smile scoffed at him as they poked.

Even though Dylan didn't say anything. But Gnecci realizes that Dylan knows that Gnecci was the one who sent the assassins to finish him off.

Seeing Dylan's attitude like that, made Gnecci who felt himself great for the first time experience the so-called "feel of fear".

(-------------)

Arriving at the inn.

Dylan and Filaret immediately separated into their rooms.

"Welcome and Good night, Mr. Dylan".

"Yes, good night. Sonja".

When Dylan entered he was immediately greeted by Sonia who was now wearing her nightgown.

"What about the party? Does smoothly?".

"Well, fluently.... Very smooth..... To make me want to vomit because of the air there".

Sonia just smiled in response to a complaint from Dylan that like her really hated the Ball party.

"Oh yes, sir. I've sent "your greetings" to the Shadow Crow. And in response they give you a piece of paper".

"really?".

Without further ado, Sonia instantly picked up a piece of paper that she had stored in the gap between her two large breasts. And hand it over to Dylan.

Dylan was actually reluctant to accept the paper after he found out where Sonia kept it. But, because he was very curious about what the writing contained on the paper, Dylan was forced to accept and open it.

[Come to Noir Bar. Then "The Crow" will meet you].

After reading the short message, Dylan decided to go to Noir's bar tomorrow morning before returning to Arcadia.
