"I don't need you to tell me what to do. It's clear of your intentions that you're going to bully her- please. I've known of your jealousy when it came to our relationship but I never thought you'd go this far, Evelyn." (Crown Prince Dereck) replies holding onto Analissa's hand tighter and for some reason it just makes Analissa shiver in fear.

This crown prince was secretly a yandere after all- who wouldn't be scared!

Slowly the holding became even more tighter. Analissa was wincing in pain, "Um, your highness-" she tried to speak.

"Do not fret Lady Analissa. I will protect you at all costs. I swear on it." (Crown Prince Dereck) swore proudly smiling to Analissa but she wasn't too charmed. Actually, she was pissed and clearly in pain!

'Bitch save me from yourself first! Ow! Ow! My hands are going to die at this rate!' the thoughts ran through Analissa's mind but she tolerated it for she didn't want to humiliate herself in front of the Villainess she admired so much!

The Villainess noticed Analissa's face of discomfort and walked forward to yank the Heroine out of his arms. "She does not belong to you." (Lady Evelyn) puts her arms around her shoulder and waist gently after watching this little tyrant almost squeeze her to death.

The crown prince moves forward to hold Analissa's wrist, "Nor does she belong to you."

Lady Evelyn and the Crown Prince Dereck had a stare down for a moment before Analissa cries out, "Please both of you perhaps class is starting soon again- we wouldn't want to miss it right?" She tried to divert the tension and it seemed to have worked. Nobles hate to be seen as late after all.

The both of them looked at Analissa and agreed, the crown prince removes her hold to the Heroine and the Villainess slowly removes her protective hold onto hers as well. "Fine, please Lady Blanchet let me escort you to your classrooms- my student council duties can wait." (Crown Prince Dereck) offers sweetly with a charming smile.

Lady Evelyn was about to pounce on him again with crampy arguments to why these two shouldn't be seen together but it was Analissa who took charge of the moment this time. Analissa shakes her head in reply, "I have already made a promise to Lady Evelyn that I would accompany her. I cannot be rude as to break such a promise, good day though your highness. May our paths cross again."

The Villainess widened her eyes slightly in surprise. She didn't think she of all people would refuse a request of escort by the prince- after all she never even got that kind of treatment from him even if they were already engaged.

Analissa held Lady Evelyn's hand pulling it slightly. "Shall we go, your ladyship?" she smiles pleadingly to her.

Lady Evelyn nods slightly, feeling unsettled with how her hand was holding hers. It felt like she had no choice but to agree and- for some reason the smile just made her want to agree. "If you'll excuse us, your highness. We ought not to be late now, don't we?" She grinned widely, taking the girl no longer behind her but walked by her side, leaving the Crown Prince to stand in the middle of the hallway until he could no longer see both of the girls' figures.

When the two girls were walking hand in hand, Lady Evelyn stopped when she knew it was safe. Looked both left and right to see if anyone else was watching and took this time to pull Analissa's hand to inspect. "Your hand..."

Analissa's heart thumped. Lady Evelyn- was she worried for her?! Oh my goodness! She's leaning her face more closely to her hand as if she was going to kiss it!

"Now it has red marks from the crown prince for holding it too tightly. It must've been unpleasant to bear and tolerate such an act." (Lady Evelyn) mutters looking rather irritated but resolved. While she herself has put her in a pinning position in a wall before, her hold has never been that tight that it left marks on her body.

Analissa looked disappointed that it wasn't a kiss but then again- they're not at that stage yet. "Can you heal it yourself? I heard you possess the magic to heal others." (Lady Evelyn) asks curiously wondering what kind of skill does the commoner possess. After all, the only reason she would have attended the academy was because of her rare light magic that gave her the ability to heal people and even if it's strong enough.

Save someone in a brink of death and even grow out broken limbs even if it's years old.

Analissa's face falters into a wide smile not knowing Lady Evelyn's true intent and just thought that she was just worried about her.

How unfair it was for her, to be stuck in a game coded by a bunch of psychopaths to die at every route just because you were given the role of the villainess- when really.

She's not all that bad... all that she was given, it was injustice!

However er... Analissa could definitely heal it! Yeah as long as um... she knows what kind of spells the Heroine does to heal people. Who was she kidding she only got transmigrated a few minutes ago! Analissa needed to think of an excuse fast.

"It is alright, your ladyship. I do not think I am worthy of such worry like yours but mine will heal normally. The marks are not permanent and his highness most likely did it without knowing." (Analissa) tries defending the crown prince even though it was utterly useless since he was made to hurt the heroine.

"I see." the other girl lets go of her hand, the warmth slipping away as well. Lady Evelyn crossed her arms contemplating on what she'll do next. She can't let the girl in pain after all that ruckus but it looked like this girl was pretty stubborn as well. Lady Evelyn groaned and pointed at Analissa's hands, "After class make sure to get that checked up by the nurse's office if you are not planning to heal yourself. Even if you claim it wasn't that bad, a woman must always take care of her beauty."

The mind of the Heroine right now has three little braincells running in circles. All of them were having signs written, Oh my goodness- I'm whipped-I can't help it.

"Since you've shown yourself true to your words. You're not going near anymore to my fiancé and will only remain by my side. Tell me if he does get near and I'll... do something about it." (Lady Evelyn) shyly looks toward Analissa with a firm resolve.

Analissa's face was now beet red. To be by Lady Evelyn's side- to think those words of offering to stay with her would come out of her tantalizing lips! She could feel the excitement beating at her heart every second. "Y-Yes... your ladyship. I will not stray far away from you as promised."

At that moment, it felt like... the Villainess was her shining armor and not the crown prince. She felt... safe. How ironic that she planned to save her first but it felt the opposite right now yet she enjoyed it very much.

"Now we must get on with our walking and head into the classroom." (Lady Evelyn) continued and Analissa followed, a little sad they were no longer walking hand in hand but still not bad progress for the first day.

"Yes, your ladyship." (Analissa) happily settles her pace now walking behind the noble girl and reminds herself one day, she'll be able to walk by Lady Evelyn's side.
