The receptionist by the gate will show you the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good thing I didn’t have to pay... I already spent most of my money on that gadget, and while I was far from broke, I was definitely far from affording entry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow me, my lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A maid was already waiting for me by the entrance, with the D’Arclight insignia carefully carved on the cuffs of her sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t even need to see the receptionist anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who’s that kid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t he Lord Vance’s child?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could hear the nobles around me speak as I entered the building, shocked that some nobody son of a baron entered such a prestigious place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even crazier, being escorted by a maid of one of the region’s strongest families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Evelina is just on the other side of the door.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid stopped at a very empty part of the establishment, where guards were positioned everywhere from the stairs up to the corridors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them hired by the D’Arclight family, it was obvious that the entire third floor was theirs for the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s... certainly a lot of money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn’t help but chuckle; seeing such a public display of wealth was definitely new for someone like me who had always lived in the underbelly of society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>click!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned the knob, and there I was, greeted by a very comfortable room with a table adorned with a variety of food from all across the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to top it all off? Evelina, wearing casual attire, compared to me, who was still wearing my school uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you not returning to the academy after your meal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean this?\" She grinned, gesturing to her attire. \"I checked with the academy faculty in advance; our professors are busy handling the repercussions of the rushed tournaments with the students’ families.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That means we’re free the rest of the day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evelina narrowed her eyes, surprised at my more than meek response despite my previous confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I was simply too distracted in admiring your beauty that I forgot to give a proper response.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re too predictable sometimes, y’know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evelina sighed, but it was clear she didn’t mean it harshly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did your family approve of you hanging out with someone like me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, but that didn’t matter. I’m more than sure they’ll approve of someone with skills like yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evelina looked to the side. \"In fact, I want to see more of it firsthand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was slightly confused about what she meant, but when I looked to the side, that confusion was quickly replaced with understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man in black, wielding this world’s version of a taser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, under the employment of Evelina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before I moved...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, don’t use magic. I wanted to confirm something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she wanted to test my capabilities against an armed fighter without magic? Guess that was understandable considering my fighting style back in the tournament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone would want to confirm firsthand if I was just as good at raw fighting as I was with magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because beating up students in a rushed tournament wasn’t exactly the best way to determine the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FWISH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stepped to the side before the taser touched me, responding with a quick kick to his groin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dirty? Yes, but against an armed attacker? I’d rather not get complacent and get absolutely fried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You dirty fuck—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THUD!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A simple hook to the head, and that was it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest... I didn’t really expect to win that easily, guess he just really didn’t think I would kick his groin...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLAP!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLAP!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLAP!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How ridiculous...\" Evelina laughed, very appeased at the result. \"You just took out one of my family’s personal guards in seconds!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guess I should take this as a lesson and restructure their entire training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evelina muttered, looking disdainfully at the unconscious guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Useless, I can’t believe this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice quickly changed. While she definitely liked my result, it still didn’t excuse the failure of the guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dark Step]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She teleported the body outside, leaving him as a problem for the maid and the others outside the room to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyways, guess I should explain why I brought you here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",939,"2026-06-03T05:52:53.471Z",1,"novelbin.me","05532d2ad92921be70de02d1357f699725d404848d90c8cc9f63656991579472","i-m-in-love-with-the-villainess-chapter-47","i-m-in-love-with-the-villainess-chapter-45",324,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-in-love-with-the-villainess-cover.jpg"]
