Where are those two girls who are supposed to help you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He threw the paperweight higher this time, caught it smoothly, and looked over at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina was at the big desk in the middle of the room, sitting straight in her chair, pen moving fast across a sheet of paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cheeks were a little pink, something that happened a lot these days whenever Julius was around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re... busy,\" she said quickly, scribbling even faster like she wanted to hide behind the words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Busy with what?\" Julius asked, still playing catch with the paperweight. Up, down, up, down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hamh!\" Rosalina made her famous little snort and turned her face away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius’s eyes lit up. That snort was too cute. Every time she did it, he just wanted to tease her more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a second...\" He leaned forward, smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you send them away on purpose so we could be alone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hamh! Don’t be ridiculous!\" she snapped, snorting again, which only made her look even more adorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius laughed under his breath. He didn’t know it yet, but he had guessed exactly right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truth was, ever since she beat him in that duel a few months ago, Julius had been spending almost all his free time with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Rosalina loved it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She loved it so much that she didn’t want to share even one minute of his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like... money. Even if you have tons of money, you still hate giving it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s how she felt about Julius’s time. She wanted every second of it for herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So whenever she heard his footsteps coming down the hall, she would quickly shoo the two helper girls out the back door before he walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina cleared her throat loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem! Anyway...\" She kept her eyes glued to the paper, pretending to be super focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re way too calm for someone who’s about to do something super dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius caught the paperweight one last time and set it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned back, arms behind his head, smiling like he didn’t have a care in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dangerous? Nah. Sounds fun to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina’s pen stopped moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared down at the half-finished page, then let out a long, quiet sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know if you’re brave... or just...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She almost said ’stupid’. The word was right there on her tongue, but she caught it at the last second and swallowed it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calling ’him’ stupid felt ridiculous now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at Julius, still leaning casually against the edge of her desk like the whole world was one big game, and shook her head slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Four months,\" she murmured, almost to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just four months... and look at everything you’ve pulled off. Sometimes I still can’t believe a fourteen-year-old could do all this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes narrowed a little, like she was trying to solve a puzzle that refused to make sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the craziest part? You told ’me’. Everything. Even though you knew, you ’knew’, if I breathed a single word to anyone, it could all collapse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tiny, warm smile crept onto her lips before she could stop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly turned her face away and pretended to fix the papers in front of her, cheeks going pink again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Stupid,’ she thought for the second time. But this time the word felt soft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had trusted her completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius pushed off the desk and stepped closer, hands in his pockets, that familiar amused glint in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come to think of it...\" he said lightly, \"it’s been exactly four months since I proposed to you, hasn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina’s heart slammed against her ribs so hard she was sure he could hear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept her eyes glued to the desk, fingers tightening around her pen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marry me, Rose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice from that day echoed in her head like it had happened five minutes ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had dreamed about those words a million times, late at night when everything was quiet and sleep wouldn’t come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In every daydream it felt soft, romantic, impossible... like something from a storybook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when it actually happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t gentle or perfect. It was sudden. Messy. Real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She still couldn’t say yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought left a bitter little sting behind her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It would’ve been so much better... if I could have just said yes.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius stepped forward and leaned right over her shoulder, close enough that she could feel his breath tickle her ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it over?\" he asked, eyes sliding down to the paper she’d been scribbling on for the last twenty minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina’s face instantly turned the color of a ripe tomato. She ducked her head so fast her hair fell forward like a curtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-Wait—!\" she squeaked, pen flying across the page in one final frantic stroke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haaa...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a long, relieved breath and slowly held the paper up between two fingers, like she was offering him a treasure she wasn’t quite sure she wanted to share.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius took one look and his jaw dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big black circles covered most of the page, first circle, second, third, fourth... each one connected by arrows, each one packed with scary-looking equations, symbols, and formulas that twisted and looped in ways that made normal math look like baby addition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What ’is’ this, babe?\" His voice was half awe, half disbelief. \"Did you seriously just create this... right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hamh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina lifted her chin high, cheeks still flaming red, tiny nose pointed proudly toward the ceiling like she could stab the clouds with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was supposed to look haughty and impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead it looked like the single most adorable thing Julius had ever seen in his entire life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He burst out laughing before he could stop himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really are my sweet, adorable princess darling,\" he said, voice warm and teasing as he gently took the paper from her fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second the sheet left her hand, something shifted in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They lit up, bright, sharp, hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a dragon that just spotted the shiniest piece of gold in the hoard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This time...’ he thought, fingers tightening just slightly around the edges of the paper, ’you won’t get your hands on \"that\", hero of the world.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina tilted her head, studying him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re making that face again,\" she said quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What face?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The one where you look like you’re about to steal the moon and nobody will ever know it was you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius blinked once. Then twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he laughed, real this time, and ruffled her hair with his free hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can’t help it,\" he said. \"You keep giving me the best toys to play with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She swatted his hand away, but not very hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop messing up my hair, idiot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1220,"2026-06-10T05:56:22.118Z",1,"novelbin.me","f3bc50e2fba13c381c23e6a4255c4323d2a83bb7a586944f3a1b7adee7d2114a","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-112","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-111",220,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fvillainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-cover.jpg"]
