The Villain's Story Chapter [123]Banquet

Chapter [123]Banquet

Sabrina sighed as she sat at a table filled with delicious food. She was currently in the Banquet.

'Why is this even being held?'

She questioned in her mind.

Truly what was the purpose of this banquet?...just for some idiots outside the campus to get their foot in? Or did Headmaster Oliver just decide the first-year students needed a break?

'it's been h.e.l.l.'

She thought as she put a slice of steak in her mouth.

It had been h.e.l.l for her ever since her 'bodyguard' had been gone.

Usually, his presence alone was enough to drive away all the idiots that wanted to get close to her.

But now that her bodyguard was gone, when she checked his status it showed he was sleeping the previous week, and then whenever she checked again, it would show he was training.

The amount of time she had been asked out reached 4 dozen. And the number of broken hearts was probably the same.

At this point, she was the only one sitting quietly eating dinner at a table.

Everyone else was dancing with their respective partners.

Many had asked her to be their partner but she denied it.

She enjoyed dancing, but the problem lay in the fact that multiple of the tried to get their hands closer to her behind and their chests closer.

It annoyed and infuriated her to the extreme.

'... it's boring.'

Now that she thought about it, having someone to talk to was nice, especially if they treated her like a normal girl instead of a f.u.c.king princess.

Even though they mostly talked through the mysterious spatial bond, it was nice.

Calming and relieving to her, who almost always remained quiet.

It was fun having someone to talk to.

...but the cowboy was nowhere to be found in the banquet, and since his status always showed he was training, she judged it appropriate not to disturb him.

...cowboy.

Suddenly that word rang in her mind.

And...a laugh came out.

"...pft."

Truly, That 'YEEHAWW!' was the highlight of their dungeon exploration.

His taking down of a B-rank monster, a monster an entire rank above him, him yeeting it was hilarious.

'Ah, I need to watch it again.'

She made a mental more to herself, to watch the clip again.

and laugh to her heart's content in her room.

She continued to take a bite out of her steak, and then someone unexpected had shown up.

"Hi~Mind if I sit here?'

A girl with brown colored hair, someone who was wearing a nicely tailored dress that highlighted her features.

Even with it, she was nothing to Sabrina, but she possessed a unique charm.

" No, please do."

Sabrina answered Amy, who had gone to the labyrinth with her as a teammate.

They had grown quite close as friends one could say.

Especially when her bodyguard was gone, she was glad at least someone other than the group was with her at all times.

"So how many times has it been now?"

Amy asked her as she say down, to which Sabrina answered in a tired tone.

"...43."

"Wow! Forty-three confessions!"

Amy exclaimed in shock.

To get forty-three confessions in such a short time!

Sabrina Wellington was truly a person to admire.

"Man... it's so good being that beautiful isn't it?"

Amy asked Sabrina, to which Sabrina responded disheartened.

"It's not a good thing."

"Oh come on! Boys literally would do everything just to get your attention, That has got to be a good thing."

Amy said in excitement, While Sabrina prayed for something else.

'...I wish I wasn't.'

She did so, she truly wished she was never as beautiful as she was, It was this d.a.m.n beauty of hers that attracted so much unwanted attention.

The b.a.s.t.a.r.d from the Number one family, the so-called royals.

Lucas.

And...her turned uncle's attention.

The Above two wanted only her body, while the third wanted to use her body to make even more connections and money.

It was because of her uncle that she hated the Dark element.

To turn such a kind-hearted man, a loving and caring uncle...into an emotionless b.a.s.t.a.r.d that manipulated everyone, that treated everyone like toys, that would care for no one now,

..that was now nothing like his former self.

It's been proven that some users of the Dark and Chaos Elements change the more they use their elements.

Not all, but some and those who are changed become something that is completely separate of what they were before.

Her uncle was the prime example of the above topic.

....she missed the old him.

She missed her father, and she missed her family whom she couldn't see from here.

"Sabrina, so...what about you know...umm him?"

Suddenly, Amy asked her a question, to which she replied while confused.

"Him?"

"You know...umm the first rank!"

"...and?"

"... you're quite close with him...so what's the relations.h.i.+p between you two?"

...

...

...

'...should I just end this farce?'

Because Alan was always with her, many people a.s.sumed the wrong things.

And at this point, she was tired of being asked the same question, so she just told her something else.

"It's nothing, he's just someone my family hired to protect me while I am in the s.h.i.+eld."

At this point, it was okay in revealing something that was going to be found out sooner or later.

...

...

...

There was silence between the two of them until Amy broke it.

"...rich families are weird."

She then continued.

"...so that means I have a chance! His face may not be that great, but come on who cares! The personality is the most important!"

"...Yes."

Sabrina half-heartedly replied as she continued to eat her steak.

"And that Aura around him is so refres.h.i.+ng."

Upon hearing her words, Sabrina stopped and thought for a while.

She had observed a few things from the moment she enrolled in s.h.i.+eld.

Alan Peccator and Elijah Ardor had a special aura around them.

An Aura that made people rely on them, that made people subconsciously like them, trust them and even more so feel...safe around them.

Granted, The aura released by Alan was stronger than Elijah's...but there was no denying it, both of them were special.

She truly wondered, how two individuals from seemingly no special backgrounds until they were awakened could appear and take the top spots.

Both Alan and Elijah did not have any significant background before becoming Awakened.

Although Serena and Elijah had a history even before enrolling into s.h.i.+eld...Alan was completely alone from a young age.

She didn't know what the connection Elijah and Serena shared, but she knew it had to be something significant because...Serena was head over heels for Elijah.

To the point it was scary.

It was scary, scary as heck.

'...although he is handsome...I need to stay away from him to not get on her bad side.'

Sabrina thought to herself as she made a note to be attracted to Elijah.

Making Serena, the daughter of the first-ranked hero her enemy for the affection of a boy was stupid.

"...Can you give me his number? Or would I ask for that myself? Oh I know, since we're friends, can you please make it so that we can have an interaction, even if small?

I want to get to know him better."

Amy asked her for a favor.

And she should probably do it, Amy had helped her a lot.

"...Fine."

Sabrina reluctantly agreed.

"Yay! I should probably take it slow before asking him out on a date."

*Twitch.*

Date....why did her finger just twitch when she heard that word?

She questioned it, and why did she feel...weird when a date with him was mentioned.

But before she could gather her thoughts, something else took her attention, as well as the attention of others in the banquet.
