Surviving As The Villainess
Chapter 68 - Holidays With Allen

I don't feel like time is passing very fast. Spring that feels just now, has now changed into a new season sheet. Day by day, the air temperature is rising. The sound of crickets can be heard very clearly.

Summer is the favorite season of most students. How not, in this season they will get a vacation for a full month. There is no student who does not like to take a vacation, it is a reality. Now tell me honestly who doesn't like the holidays? No one will answer "me".

Over the past few months, Allen and Yuriel's relationship began to improve. Liyuna did not know why it could be like that but after the intense quarrel that occurred between Yuriel and Allen that caused the three of them to face the headmaster, the relationship between the two improved.

Liyuna did not know that the good relationship between Allen and Yuriel was mere acting because they had made a deal beforehand and agreed not to fight and hide their dislike in front of Liyuna. They are holding a ceasefire for a while. It was also due to the fact that Yuriel was a little different from Allen. Allen understood Yuriel's situation and the true cause of her unstable emotions. Although he did not like it, he could not refuse.

Liyuna was a kind-hearted girl, she could not see someone who was near her hostile to each other. For Liyuna's sake, she would do anything even if it was something she hated. Yuriel thought so. This time, he would not let go of Liyuna and let her down again.

Jenneth, the waiter who works at the Castris residence is currently helping Liyuna stuff her clothes into the suitcase. This summer vacation, Liyuna decided to go stay at a villa at the foot of the mountain.

Yvette said, he was tired of vacationing at the beach in the summer, he wanted to try to feel the holiday with a different atmosphere, climbing the mountain for example. But it is impossible to climb mountains in summer like this because the body will be very prone to dehydration. That's why Yuriel proposed to stay at a villa at the foot of the mountain. The place is quite famous because there is such a beautiful lake.

Liyuna was very interested in Yvette's proposal and asked Karl to rent out the villa. Karl gladly granted Liyuna's request and rented the villa for a week and asked the manager not to accept guests as long as Liyuna and the others were there. Karl wanted Liyuna to take a quiet vacation with her friends.

Feeling worried, Sara asks Noel to pay attention to Liyuna and Yuriel and look after them because Sara cannot come along. Soon there will be the biggest fashion festival in the country and Sara becomes one of the chosen designers to showcase her work. He was even so busy that he could not accompany Liyuna's grave at night, hence it was impossible for her to go on vacation.

For Karl, there is no need to ask. The multi-national company he managed took almost all his time, especially now that he was handling a big project, it was impossible for him to come along. Therefore, Sara entrusted everything to Noel who could be trusted. Young people who grew up in Astraea orphanage under the auspices of the Castris family are certainly trustworthy.

"Nothing is forgetfulness?" Sara asked Liyuna and Yuriel who were already in the car.

"Nothing, Ma."

"Then be careful, yeah." Sara kissed Liyuna and Yuriel on the forehead.

Liyuna closed the windshield and Noel immediately started the car engine. The car they were riding in sped away from the Castris residence. Sara stared at the shadow of the car Liyuna was riding in and returned to the studio to continue her work. Sara hoped that Liyuna and Yuriel would be fine.

Sara had no idea that Liyuna's vacation would turn into a terrifying nightmare.

Liyuna and the others agreed to go to the villa individually. Yvette went there to be escorted by her mother, while Allen left with his driver.

Arriving at the villa, Allen asked his driver to go home and pick him up one week later. He did not want to be monitored by his father, so he asked his driver to return. Likewise with Yvette, Mother Yvette only came to take her and chat for a while with Liyuna because she could not linger.

Currently there were only Liyuna, Yuriel, Yvette, Allen, and Noel left in this place. Summer this year is indeed amazingly hot, but all is a little treated when they see a lake that is so beautiful. The water is so clear that it reflects sunlight, a truly amazing sight.

Noel took out Liyuna and Yuriel's luggage from the trunk, then put it into the villa while Allen and Yvette's luggage had been inside since.

"Sir Noel, we're going to play in the lake." Liyuna told Noel that they wanted to play water in the lake. Liyuna did not want to bother Noel so much that she took the initiative to tell him about the activities she was going to do.

Noel asked Liyuna to be careful because there were only five of them in this place.

Liyuna agreed with Noel and he immediately went to the lake to catch up with the others.

"Yuna, come quickly!" Call Yvette while putting her hand in the lake water.

Liyuna came to play with Yvette and the others. She wears a white summer dress that looks so good on her pale skin.

Many trees blanketed the lake, making the hot air to be slightly covered due to the dense leaves. Yuriel is seen putting her feet into the lake water that is not too deep, just below her knees. He lifted his dress so as not to be exposed to water, his long hair swept by the wind gently.

Seeing Yuriel who was seen enjoying their vacation, Liyuna was delighted.

Unlike Liyuna and the others, Allen just sat on the bridge connecting the lake and the mainland, he sat quietly without saying anything and just watched the others play water.

Yvette, who saw Allen not playing, had the idea to get him to play together, deliberately dropped into the lake and sprayed water with his hands towards Allen.

Allen's body was wet immediately, his hair that had been neatly arranged now looked like a dog that was splashed in a got.

Yuriel instantly burst out at Allen's pitiful appearance.

Hearing Yuriel who laughed loudly when she saw the distress, Allen so could not help himself.

"Stop laughing!" He shouted, he clenched his hands in annoyance.

Allen was actually not angry, he was just a little annoyed that Yuriel was laughing at him blatantly.

Yuriel also doused Allen with water that he managed to dip into both palms. Seeing the behavior of everything becoming so-so to work on it, Allen could not help himself anymore. He jumped off the bridge, plunging himself into the water.

Allen's body came to the surface, his entire body naturally drenched. He pulled his wet hair and looked up at the sky.

Seeing this, Liyuna thought that Allen looked like a celebrity who was filming an advertisement.

"Let's go swimming!" Take Yvette. He looked very excited and occasionally patted the water.

Liyuna looked at the clothes she was currently wearing, it was impossible for her to swim in a dress.

"That's impossible, my sister and I are wearing a dress." Yuriel said while pointing at the dress she was wearing.

"Ah, right too."

"We swim slowly, there's no need to overdo it." Allen said, he suggested this because he could not see the face of Liyuna who looked a little sad because she could not swim wearing a dress.

Hearing Allen's words, Liyuna had an idea. He doesn't need to really swim, he can throw himself in and move around in the water.

The four 12-year-olds were playing water together. Occasionally Yuriel sprayed water on Allen's face.

"I'm sorry not intentionally." Of course, Yuriel did it on purpose.

Allen, who knew very well Yuriel's plan, was not immediately provoked, but eventually he retaliated Yuriel's actions and doused her back with water.

Maybe the friendship of the four of them was formed not so long ago but in the future they will be a solid team that will help Liyuna when in trouble. Even though their goals are different, they still have the same priorities.

Finished satisfied playing water, they immediately returned to the villa which was not so far from the lake. They take a shower and change their clothes so they don't get a fever.

After that, they had lunch with the food that Noel had cooked.

"Sister Noel can cook?" Ask Liyuna. He was impressed to see Noel who could cook.

"True, I used to help cook for the kids in the parlors." Noel said, in his hand there is a plate containing ebi furai.

They had lunch together, once in a while Yvette who was a foodie praised Noel's gastronomy. According to him, his ability is not inferior to professional chefs who can cook michelin restaurant food. Although there are some things that are lacking but the taste of Noel cuisine is really very good. Yvette looks so satisfied with lunch today.

Later that night, Allen invited others to set up campfires near the lake. Aided by the versatile Noel, they make a bonfire and sing along. Of course it was accompanied by Noel because he could not leave the Miss he served alone in the middle of the forest. Although the possibility of something happening is very small because this place has been rented exclusively by the Castris family, Noel still did not dare to take risks. It was better for him to accompany Liyuna and the others.

Allen and Yuriel are seen preparing barbeque tools together, while Yvette and Liyuna prepare the ingredients.

"You, watch your attitude in front of Brother Yuna!" Yuriel warned Allen. Currently the two were behind the villa picking up barbeque equipment.

Allen did not reply to Yuriel's words, he carried a barbeque device in his hand and looked Yuriel in the eye with a serious look.

"If what you're telling me is true, do you think this time too..." Allen hung up his words, trying to find the right word to say.

Looking at Allen who was so serious, Yuriel instantly understood what he wanted to say.

"I'm not gonna let that happen." Yuriel said firmly, the look in her eyes that had looked cheerful had now turned sharp.

"This time I won't let anything like that happen again." Further.

When the two of them returned to where Liyuna and Yvette were, they saw that all the ingredients had already been prepared. Noel is also ready to turn on the barbeque.

That night they did a barbeque party while lighting a bonfire. This holiday is very different from previous summer holidays. This time not only Yvette was on vacation with Liyuna but there were Allen and Yuriel.

"This time I will..."

Allen could not hear what Yuriel was muttering clearly but he knew that Yuriel was worrying about Liyuna.

That night, no one knew that danger was lurking. Yes, the four 12-year-old children did not know that a major incident would soon befall one of them.

Right, no one knew. other than Noel who had been on high alert since. As a child from Astraea, Noel had sensitive senses. He could sense the presence of others besides them in this place.
