Re: The Villainess Does It With Class

I let out another tired sigh and gazed at the garden below. It's already noon so the sun wasn't that high up in our heads now, casting shadows on every corner of the landscape. I feel bored out of my head and also disappointed as hell because I couldn't get to do what I want.

Just when I am very willing to visit the Tower of Magic and then it gets thwarted because my brother is not around. Such a chance could only appear once in a blue moon. Who knows if I am still willing to do so in the future?

I felt listless all of a sudden, "There's nothing to do…" I mumbled, huffing through my nose.

The only one who had this gloomy air around them was me. The others were currently engaging in a heated talk, looking like excited children. I stared at them, feeling rather envious of their lively atmosphere.

"Say, Mari, are you going to the plaza later?" Erin asked the yellow-haired lady who was standing at the side.

I heard her hum, lost in thoughts for a second before answering back.

"It depends if I have nothing to do…"

"I want to visit the plaza!" Amy suddenly piped in, bursting with energy.

She had the look of extreme excitement plastered all over her adorable face, even her eyes are sparkling. That is how I must have looked earlier when I thought about going out, full of anticipation. Too bad though… My suspense was for naught.

"I want to go too!" Lily exclaimed.

She doesn't want to get left behind, I see...

Freesia also joined them afterward, "I couldn't go last night because I was so busy but I also wish to go," she said so. 

"Don't we all?" Erin commented with a thoughtful expression.

Mari glanced at her, "But you have gone there last year, Erin," she pointed this out.

"Yes but that was a day before the festival finishes. There was nothing entertaining anymore," Erin responded just as sad as she appeared to be right now. She must have been really disappointed to see that almost everything is already gone, most especially the fun stuff.

"I want to see this year's Festival Muse though…" Erin added after a while.

From her words alone, the four immediately perked up and their faces which had been brimming with thrill a while ago got even more hyped up.

"The Festival Muse! I want to see that too!" Amy and Lily then jinxed themselves by saying the same thing out loud.

'They are like two peas in a pod…'

Listening to their conversation, I kind of had this urge to visit the capital and see the festival to myself. Maybe I can do that instead of just mindlessly sitting around here and wait for boredom to fully consume me. It will certainly turn me daft if this goes on. Might as well waste my time away on more enjoyable things.

"Are you guys planning to go to the plaza later this night?" I inquired, interrupting their little meeting.

All of them turned to look at me while Erin responded on their behalf.

"Yes, milady," she truthfully answered and then added-- "But if milady stays here then we should too."

I almost lift my brows from being touched. Erin had said it out of her sense of duty to me because after all, they are working for the Herman's young miss. They have to always look after my needs first before everything else.

"Ah, that's right. Duty first!" Amy seconded with a nod.

I stared at them, wanting to gauge their reactions and see if they are slightly down upon the prospect of not being able to enjoy themselves on such a joyous occasion.

Nope. Nothing. They look alright to me. That's kind of a relief actually. It just meant that they have no qualms about working for me at all, which is kind of flattering in a way. Fufufufu~

"Hmmm…" I looked at them one by one and smiled suggestively, "How about we go there together tonight? I'm actually very curious what the plaza would be like," I stated.

Their faces suddenly glowed. How cute~

"Really? Ahem-- Is that alright for milady?" Erin cleared her throat out of embarrassment. She just made a slip of tongue right there.

"Mhmm," I nodded in confirmation.

"Milady wants to see the festival in the capital too?" Mari interjected in curiosity.

I beamed at her as a reply and she took that as a big yes.

With us talking about it, it's kind of making me look forward to it. I wonder what will I see when we get there? Would it really be as fun as they said? I have not attended any festivals before so I have no idea how lively it would be. But if I judge it from how excited they are, then it must be truly fun.

"If that's what milady wants then we will gladly accompany you," Erin uttered wholeheartedly.

I nodded at her.

"Milady! You will surely love the plaza!" Amy piped in, full of energy as always. She even looked more joyful now than ever. "I can't wait!"

"Come on now, you look so excited even though it's still noon," Freesia noted to calm this big ball of sunshine down.

"But milady will be with us and I will finally get to see the plaza after a long time!" Amy replied enthusiastically, not even a sign of piping down.

Freesia shook her head in exasperation. 

She's being like that but I could clearly see in your face that you are also thrilled Freesia. I mean, the corners of your lips are twisting which made you look like a cat.

"Then we should prepare right now," Mari declared in determination.

Woah there! I could see flames around you, Mari. Are you also that excited?

"Right! Milady's dress!" Lily exclaimed in panic.

The five of them then started hurling words after words, suggesting what type of clothing should I wear and such. And they all went around in circles, preparing my things and etcetera. Looking at them made me dizzy as I sat there feeling bewildered with everything.

I let out a tired sigh and watched the flurry of activities in amusement.

Seriously... They are such a handful...
