The Tomboy "Prince" Was Reincarnated as a Villainess in an Otome Game!

Chapter 28 ~ Tea Party (5)

AN: Here's another update~!!!!! Hope you guys are doing great! Wish you all a great day and week ahead of you!!!

PS. Can't stop smiling while writing this one XD

"Hm? What's wrong, Celine? Why did you raise your voice?"

Evelyn returned with a plate of chocolate brownies.

She looked at us confused at our current state.

Well, she did return when I was apologizing to Celine and she's averting her face away from me.

She then turned to me and tilted her head.

"Alterisa-chan, what happened?"

A-Ah... H-How do I say it? I can't very well say that my prince persona slipped out from a lapse of judgement?

I couldn't help but smiled wryly.

"A-Ahahaha... I-I may have been too aggressive in asking if I could be her friend."

"Oh my. What did you do, Alterisa-chan?"

"I-I..."

"S-She just suddenly took my hand and kissed it! Evelyn, just what is wrong with her?!"

"Oh my? Really?"

I nodded.

I-I just couldn't help but want to poke at her to get her tsundere reaction. But, doing that in this situation where a lot of people could see us might cause some problems. Fortunately, most of them turned their attention towards the place where mom and Maria-sama are. They lost interest in us when Evelyn left and we seemed to only be chatting.

That was lucky, but I need to control my prince persona so they don't slip up like that again in the future.

I'm reflecting...

"How envious..."

"Huh?!"

Hm? What did Evelyn say? Celine just freaked out.

"E-Evelyn?!"

"Ah! A-Ahem... Isn't that great, Celine~? Alterisa-chan wants to be friends with you. Aren't you interested in her as well?"

"W-W-W-What are you talking about?!"

Eh?

"Ufufufu~ You know, this girl has been asking me more and more about you after learning about your achievements, Alterisa-chan."

"I-I-I did not!"

My achievements? Ah, you mean the ledger format I make for dad?

"Not only did you help your father, the prime minister, with his work, you also showed your amazing potential in magic and your melodious singing voice during your debutante. Moreover, the Royal Guard Commander and his son seemed to also commend your talent with the spear."

Luke's talking about me? Well, as long as he's not talking **** about me, I don't care. I'm curious about what Noir thinks though.

"Then, since I went to your debutante and saw it first hand, she came and ask more and more about you from me~"

"T-T-That's not true!! I-I just asked Evelyn who you're writing to and you didn't stop talking about her!"

"Ufufufu~ But, isn't it because you'd always ask me more and more about Alterisa-chan~? You're interested in her, right~?"
