I Regress if the Villainess Dies! Chapter 36: Chapter 35 Royal Class

‘This guy is still here?’ Xian’s complexion visibly darkened, seeing Adrian made his initially easy mood sour. Now that he’s seeing him in a morning lit room, his glaring feauture of a ‘protagonist’ was even more apparent. There wasn’t a trace of bruises in his smooth skin and, looking closely, he even had a slight blush. Xian was utterly tired of seeing his face during scenes and everytime he opens the status window, wishing he could at least customize character appearance. Though he liked his current appearance more, unfortunately, Carmillia didn’t. ‘I guess the protagonist wont disappear that easily.’ He clicked his tongue. Adrian was too busy to hear it, but Carmillia’s eyes were sideways, staring at Xian. “Do you remember me, my lady? W-we met by chance in the labyrinth and… Ah! We got attacked by another entrant!” The protagonist stuttered in an effort to speak. Xian thought he was watching a kid introduce in front of the calss. “I remember.” Carmillia answered, smiling faintly, “What business do you have with me?” She responded with a surprisingly amicable tone, not angered at the fact that Adrian’s loudmouth had turned her into the center of attention and murmurs. Her face now carried a soft expression but in her eyes, there was an amusement to what shes witnessing. “Ah, it’s just, can we walk together to class?” “Walk… together?” Carmillia tilted her head at the simple request of the protagonist. “Yes. Can’t we?” Carmillia paused just long enough until Adrian seemed anxious as she sneaked a glacne to Xian. “I permit it.” Xian watched with a calm gaze as the two agreed without so much as his involvement, after all, he was just a butler. But the protagonist seemed to be unaware of the underlying meaning of the actions he took, nor how others would see it. The surrounding murmurs resumed as Carmillia walked past, Adrian hurrying after her. Xian could hear the whispers through the hall as it took a different direction. ‘Maybe she’s not as bad as they say…’ ‘There’s no way she really did those rumors, right?’ ‘She accepted him just like that? ’ To others, it seemed like Carmillia permitted an unknown commoner to walk beside her despite his lacking etiquette. In this academy, Adrian’s request signified involvement and Carmillia’s permission meant acceptance to her faction. The pair of mistress and butler now walked side by side. Adrian who saw the widening distance between him and the lady, so in an attempt to draw closer and start a conversation, he quickened his steps to match her pace. Only for a large figure to slide in and hit his face. Looking up, the first thing he saw was a shade of blood-red hair and the similarly stern expression worn by the professors who talked to him yesterday. Xian had put himself between Adrian and Carmillia, not even sparing a glance on the protagonist. He kept walking with coldness on his face. Earlier, as if in a trance, the protagonist had completely ignored him and did not even notice him. Xian doesn’t mind being overlooked, but what was strange was the protagonist’s bashful behavior toward Carmillia. Adrian, confused, stared at him indignantly, as if his eyes were asking, ‘What are you doing?’. Xian did his best to put on the most intimidating glare he could muster. Surprisingly, it was quite effective, as he saw the protagonist’s flinch his shoulders. Adrian made several more attempts, but Xian made sure to cut him off every time. The normally amicable and kind protagonist was now gritting his teeth, eyes filled with frustration. Xian thought the protagonists reaction was interesting since in the game, the players dialogue's are the voice of reason in many scenarios. But this protagonist seemed unable to control his emotion. “Well, then, this is where we part ways.” Carmillia, who had been silent the entire time, turned to Adrian. The room for the Elite class took a different fork in the hallways with the Royal class in the opposite. But they were positioned in a way that both classes
