Made sure the student I knocked out was still breathing, too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s... not what people say about him,\" the girl muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivianne tilted her head, just a little. \"People say many things when they don’t bother to look closer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She began walking again, slow enough that the girl naturally followed beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I asked him to train me,\" Vivianne added casually. \"Not the other way around. I wanted to stop being someone who could only plan from the back while others got hurt, and no... I wasn’t forced.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She added with a giggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... asked him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm. And he warned me first.\" Vivianne glanced sideways. \"Said the training would be harsh. That I might get scared. That if I quit halfway, he wouldn’t sugarcoat it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl swallowed. \"And you still agreed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did,\" Vivianne said simply. \"Because he was honest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They passed a small group of students pretending not to listen, failing horribly. The moment they even heard mention of my name, they immediately stopped in their tracks and changed to follow Vivianne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pretending that they left something from where they came, but in truth, was just an excuse to eavesdrop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody knew much about me after all, other than the fact that I was an obsessed weirdo; they had nothing on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a hot subject around the academy, and if anyone had information, they sure as hell wanted to hear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He kinda sounds like one of those cliches.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly!\" Vivianne responded immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was exactly what she wanted to hear—and, more importantly, what she wanted anyone still eavesdropping to hear as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like Prince Thorn! You know about him, right!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivianne mentioned a fictional character from a popular noble drama that was all the rage among noblewomen in the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a misunderstood, brooding figure for most of the story, until a certain arc revealed him to be a soft and gentle prince who worked in the shadows to ensure the light would always prevail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very stereotypical... and very popular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s exactly like him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"E-Eh!? Seriously!?\" The female student covered her mouth to stifle a gasp at the comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t believe it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Okay, that has to be a stretch,\" another girl cut in, half-laughing as she joined them, no longer being able to bear just listening from the sidelines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no way someone’s like Prince Thorn in real life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivianne waved her hand. \"Details. I’m talking about the vibe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That earned a few chuckles. The tension eased immediately, exactly what she wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I mean,\" Vivianne continued, shrugging, \"Cael doesn’t go around smiling or chatting people up, but that doesn’t mean he’s evil. He just... doesn’t waste time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more she continued talking, the more the crowd following her grew, more specifically... a female crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t as if she had a choice. All the men who had been eavesdropping had their egos bruised the moment they heard another man being compared to a popular fictional character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they left... immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivianne herself even felt bad for the comparison, but she couldn’t avoid it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She owed me after all, breaking a few hearts wouldn’t be that bad... right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’m so sorry!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But internally, she was absolutely screaming.\u003C\u002Fp>",1122,"2026-06-03T05:52:53.768Z",1,"novelbin.me","3907bb36a545c69e9b5a1e1a5686d2bea19ce72097a4905b99d857c07e97813c","i-m-in-love-with-the-villainess-chapter-127","i-m-in-love-with-the-villainess-chapter-126",324,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-in-love-with-the-villainess-cover.jpg"]
