Re: The Villainess Does It With Class

I'm so mad. Like really really mad.

Who do those guys think they are? Looking down on me because I'm a woman?? Even to the point of stereotyping me???

"Tsk." I huffed out in annoyance and stormed past the doors of the textile shop.

"Milady, are we going home now?" Uno then asked as he slid beside me.

"No. Let's eat something first," I grumbled under my breath.

That's right. Better eat my anger away. Sweets would be the best right now.. It's the only thing that could melt my frustrations.

"I want to go to that café," then pointed across the street.

It was the same shop that my friends and I used to go to whenever we went to the Capital. 

I suddenly missed Gwen and Bea.

'Maybe I should have asked those two ladies to meet here…'

The café is famous, thus, why it was always packed with common folks. Good thing that it wasn't as crowded as before, though there's still a good amount of people dining at the moment.

'I'll probably just buy some and then bring it back to the mansion. So I could eat it with everyone…'

"Good Day Lady Nadia!" One of the crews who already recognized me for being a regular greeted me.

"What do you have today?" I hummed and surveyed the glass shelf in front of me.

"Oh, we have a few new varieties today…" one of the bakers says in a cheery voice.

I heard him out and listened to his suggestions. I then bought cakes and tarts, also their current specialty, and some pastries that caught my eyes. After I'm done, I patiently waited at the side for my orders which were being packed.

A commotion from somewhere near me caught my attention. I turned my body to look at what was happening and saw two ladies arguing. 

It's actually just the other one who was spewing insults here and there, while the other lady was only silently taking it all in.

Seeing that scene made me remember the time when I first met Gwen. She was raising her voice like this woman was doing and wouldn't even let me talk. 

'Gosh, she was such a brat that day…'

Who would know that she and I would then be friends after that? It's an unexpected friendship.

"You really have no shame, don't you?" The scandalous woman's loud voice bounced around the walls of the shop. 

It had sounded familiar to me.

'I got a bad feeling about this…'

I looked at the owner of it and immediately clicked my tongue. No wonder why, it's because I know her well.

'Chiwa is back at it again…'

Honestly, what's with these types of girls always causing trouble? For the love of Luminus, she's already a woman and not the same age as before anymore! Why is she still stirring trouble?

Apparently, Chiwa is still stuck in her rebellious phase...

I glanced at the silent lady in front of her, wanting to see who's the poor soul that is being a victim of her nasty behavior.

"Estelle…?" I whispered in amazement.

'Wait, what's happening?'

Why did I see the FL here? I mean yeah, understandable. She's living in Rosenthal and is part of nobility so it's actually not that surprising…

But wow. I wasn't expecting her to be here…

Do you see this, guys? I'm not doing anything at all, but she's popping right up on my sight!

'Is this part of the story?'

I can't really remember so, maybe? Then that means I should not interfere, right? And if it isn't, I still shouldn't go in between them.

Ah, that might be true. This is none of my business at all, so I should not poke my nose in it.

'Yep. Let it happen. I'm not part of that…'

I feel bad, but what do I know what they were arguing about anyway?

Thus, I decided to just wait for my pastries and watch them instead. I was itching to know what's the deal. Still, a sane part of me is in charge of my psyche right now and it doesn't want me to step in.

I glanced at Estelle, who was not doing anything to defend herself, appearing so small in front of Chiwa.

This is also one of my weaknesses aside from seeing my favorite FL here. I hate pitiful looking guys, you hear me? Those types of people who are being bullied in broad daylight and won't even do anything to defend themselves.

'Come on Estelle! Don't let her run off her mouth! Destroy her with logic!'

They're both daughters of a viscount, therefore, she could come up to her face if she wants to. 

Or not. Estelle came from a ruined household, after all, I just remembered…

Though, I wonder how Chiwa knew her? Were they acquaintances?

"Your brother was a convicted felon, and yet you dared to go around the Capital like nothing? How brave of you…" Chiwa loudly revealed.

What she said made everyone who heard her, look at Estelle. Some were openly accusing, while the others were curious. They all then started gossiping amongst themselves, throwing glances at Estelle who seemed to look even timider. This made Chiwa smile triumphantly.

'I can't even with this person…'

"I already picked up the orders, milady," Uno stated out of the blue. He was carrying the boxes and had looked like he's ready to leave any moment now. 

I glanced at the ruckus again, then nodded at him. As I've said, it's not really my business. I'm not a superhero of the day who would appear and rescue everyone. 

Hence, why I am just going to ignore them and go on my own way.

'I came here to buy pastries… That's all. Keep out of it.'

"Shameless. Do your parents not teach you anything? Ah, Right! Your father is also a criminal and your mother's dead, so no one is actually teaching you anything," Chiwa added while chuckling as if she was amused by it.

'Wow. What a nasty bitch…'

I am truly speechless right now. How could she bring out dead people just like that? She really has no manners at all!

We were almost to their spot so I could clearly see how evil this Chiwa looked like. She was basking in the attention the people were giving her and taking pleasure in Estelle's predicament.

I looked at Estelle who appeared as if she was about to cry any moment from now. The eyes of the other customers were boring at her, drilling holes at the back of her head. She truly looked uncomfortable like she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it.
