I Don’t Want This Bad Ending

Chapter 86: HUNTING EVENT 5

"What's happening?"

The voice that gathered the gossipers asked.

'As you can see, she's apologizing!' Evelyn answered in her thoughts.

"Lady Elise was bowing sincerely to Lady Evelyn? What's happening? Does anyone know?" one of the people in the crowd asked.

'Why do you gossipers always want to know what happened?' Evelyn thought.

"She's bullying Lady Elise again." Another lady said.

'What bullying? I'm reprimanding her! Keep your facts straight!' she thought.

Questions started to spread in the area, they murmured their assumptions and Evelyn who was standing silently while staring at Elise who grits her small arms and bite her lower lips in thinking of reasons to avoid the situation.

Evelyn who was having a headache, was trying to calm her nerves, so she wouldn't make a scene, but she had enough of her own silence.

She started to speak.

"Lady Elise isn't disrespectful that you won't give what I owned?" she said in her sweet voice making it a little loud for the audience to hear.

"Did she take what Lady Evelyn owned?" said one person in the crowd.

Elise panicked but she eventually thought that as long as she denied her accusation, no one would believe the evil witch!

"Lady Evelyn, I didn't do that! You're accusing me!"

Evelyn was only looking at her like a nuisance as she raised her brow.

'Now, what will you do? Miss heroine?'

She thought as she looked at Elise whose hands were pale because of how much grip strength she uses to her little hands.

"Lady Evelyn, how can you accuse me? I was just " And Elise started to sob.

Her little hiccups gathered sympathy from the other nobles.

'They felt pity for her, but they won't help her because of my status. These nobles really are hypocrites!' Evelyn thought as she heard comments of how evil she was.

"Lady Elise, why are you crying? Did I hit you? Is it me that made you cry?" she asked, and Elise responded.

"Because you're accusing me, Lady Evelyn! How could you do that?" she said.

Evelyn felt like she was talking to a premature adult. Her argument was all about emotional sense.

"I'm not accusing you, Lady Elise. I'm stating the truth It would be better if you just hand it out!" she said apathetically.

"What's happening here?"

A silver-blue hair appeared out of nowhere and Evelyn sighs as she sees his brother marching towards her.

'Great! Another trouble comes!' she thought as she stopped herself from rolling her eyes.

"What are you doing, Evelyn?" he asked. He went between the two ladies, but his stance was protecting Elise who started crying.

"I also wonder what I did?" she asked, amused at the situation.

Allan escorted her hand and stood beside Elise.

'Oh my! Look at this unfair treatment I'm obviously her sister but she assists the person who's trying to frame me?!'

She thinks about Allan's action that obviously will do a backfire to her. 'Another rumor!' she concludes.

Then she heard Allan's different tone of voice that he used for Elise. "Lady Elise, are you alright? Do you want me to escort you out from here?" he said.

Evelyn thought that she was hearing someone's voice because of the sincere worried tone coming from his known "cold brother" that she knows.

"What a great gentleman" she uttered.

Allan heard it and he looked back to his sister's direction. Evelyn was just standing and staring at them with no expression. Her cold gaze was stifling and scrutinizing.

"What?" he asked. Perplexed at her sister's reaction.

"Shouldn't you apologize to Lady Elise?" he said. He faced his sister with his signature frown and talk to her with his domineering and proudful self.

Evelyn glanced at the audience who was expecting a good drama. And thought that 'this is a waste of time!'

But she still needs to get the tassel ornament that she makes, it was hers and not the heroine, Elise who was stupidly sobbing.

She sighs. If she doesn't talk then things will go to Elise and she will be pitied because she was "bullied" by her.

Looking at her brother also irritates her, she decided not to prolong this nonsense scheme BUT she will not apologize. Why would she do that?

"I don't think that Lady Elise warrants an apology from me" she said, looking at the "pitiful" girl who was sobbing and wiping her tears that fell from her pink cheeks.

"What?! Evelyn!!" Allan yelled.

"What?! Look here, I won't apologize for something I didn't do. And Allan?!" she paused, looked at his brother's sunset eyes that was a complete copy of her eyes.

"Tell me why do I need to apologize? You're not here when it happened, and you didn't even think of getting your sister's side? and you want me to apologize?" she said.

"Evelyn, stop being a spoiled lady and just apologize!!" Allan said that made Evelyn snap her reason to stop herself from being a villainess to everyone.

'No wonder, Evelyn in the story becomes the bad woman! It's because of this kind of situation" she thought as she stared at Allan with her piercing eyes.

She flips her hair that swayed because of the air that swept the cold and heavy atmosphere. She decided to become the villain b*tch for today.

"What happened to being fair? Almighty Allan?" she asked, she tilted her head as she knit her face and pouted at his brother who was still beside Elise and protecting her with his hand across from her body.

Allan crumpled his face when he saw her sister act like that.

She tried to look like an innocent lady. Though she doesn't know if it does look like she didn't know the accusation that Elise was throwing at her but seeing Allan's reaction then at least it had some effects.

She smiled. "Why not asked Lady Elise who started to cry when I "requested" that she give back what she snatched from me?" she said her arms folded and her sunset eyes were cold.

Allan flinched. He knows that eyes. It was the same looked she had when she started to snap at people!

It was familiar to him, because she started to wreak havoc when she woke up after the Shield Forest incident learning that the boy with her was locked in the prison.

"Evelyn, alright let's talk first" He started to appease her It would be dangerous and scandalous if she starts to use her powers.

'She won't do that right? She's not that idiot?!' He thought.

Seeing this reaction from his brother made Evelyn scowl at him. He's too superficial and only known to make an appearance.

'What an idiot!' she thought.

"I just need the tassel, give it back and I'll leave" she said.

Thinking it through, Evelyn doesn't need to stoop so low and be the entertainment of the disgusting nobles who love to gossip about people's lives. So, she thought that giving them the opportunity to appease her would be enough humiliation for his brother whose priority is the family's reputation.

She raised her brows. "I'm waiting I have already wasted enough talking to you two." She said, her eyes still cold.

Allan faced Elise.

"Do you really have what Evelyn owned? It's better to give it back." He said, his voice was that of worried that he would offend the Lady.

Seeing that Allan also pressured her to give it back, she had no choice. And she bites the inside of her mouth until she tastes the metallic blood. She was angry.

She slowly showed the tassel inside her trembling palm. Allan was shocked and his eyes were wide.

Seeing that she offered it, Evelyn snatched the tassel and glared at Elise who was quivering like a small rabbit.

'What an actress' she thought.

"I'm disappointed" she said, her words vibrated to the ears of the two who were standing in front of her.

"Wh-what?" Allan asked while Elise was hanging her head down, her hands grasping the soft fabric of her baby pink dress.

Evelyn glanced at the surrounding before she stepped closer to Elise's ears. 'Let's become a proper Villain for today!' she decided.

Then she whispered to Elise, "If this happens again, I wonder if a letter of complaint will be enough when I submit it to the school's disciplinary department and your parents" she said.

Elise holds the hem of her dress tighter.

It was a warning, though it was a little petty trick, it was enough for Evelyn. She really doesn't know how to become a proper villainess even if she wants to.

Even his brother's punishment that she thought was also trifling but for his brother whose pride it would be enough. "And Allan, don't you think you need to apologize to me?" she asked.

"What?" Allan was shocked.

"Please will you stop saying "what"? How many times do you need to be shocked?" Evelyn said, teasing his brother.

"Are you poor with words that only "what" is your reaction? I'll tell you again, where's your apology?" she continued.

"And why do I need to apologize?"

"Oh right! not only you but the two of you!" she said as she made a gesture and put out her two fingers while pointing at them.

He grits his teeth. It was true that he needed to apologize because he didn't get her side and promptly decided to make her apologize to Elise. And seeing the people that gathered he can't just turn around and walk away.

His reputation would crumble.

"I apologize for mistaking the situation" he said.

"Nuh uh" Evelyn said waving her index finger in the air.

"Say "I'm sorry that was so stuuuuupid of me!"" she said while smiling.

It was really a petty revenge but she knows that it was enough for his petty brother!
