She calmly changed the room back to how it was before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She opened the door. \"What is it?\" she asked in an irritated voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid standing outside kept a respectful look and answered, \"Miss, the young lord is here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A frown appeared on her face, ’Why is he here?’ She thought, feeling annoyed inside. But her face showed nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm,\" Rosalina gave a small sound in reply. She slowly walked toward the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking for a bit, Rosalina reached the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man sat there with his legs crossed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had long black hair tied back and a mature face that made him look like he was in his twenties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nickel...\" Rosalina muttered when she saw him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was her eldest brother and the first in line to take over the family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nickel looked up as she entered. He smiled and said, \"It’s been a while, sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina returned a small smile and sat down across from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it has,\" she replied politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But inside, she was very angry. ’This trash... What does he want now? I was having a good day, and now he’s here to ruin it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nickel kept his gentle smile. He spoke softly, \"I heard something happened at the academy today...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina’s face stayed calm. When she first heard he had come, she had somewhat guessed why he came here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, she didn’t expect the news to reach him so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\" she asked in a calm voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nickel tucked a loose strand of black hair behind his ear and leaned forward slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard the heir of the Hayes clan proposed to you. Is it true?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So?\" Rosalina answered. Her voice was flat, her face calm, no surprise, no blush, nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nickel’s smile flickered for a split second before he smoothed it back into place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I also heard... you refused him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina said nothing. She just stared at him with bored, empty eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already knew why she looked at him like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For years Nickel had been the shining star of the Valentina clan, talented, respected, first in line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Rosalina was born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>S-rank mana affinity, Arcane Core stage of Bodily Ascension, and peak Compression stage of Mental Ascension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just one small step she would reach Spirit Core and the early stage of Conversion, where she would choose her true path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And those eyes...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nickel’s jaw tightened. His molars ground together behind the perfect smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should have handled it more calmly, sister,\" he said softly. \"Getting angry at him was... unnecessary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina stayed silent for a moment, then let out a cold snort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Does he think I’m an idiot?’ she thought, her expression turning icy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood up slowly. The fake smile vanished from her face. Her voice dropped, sharp and freezing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have a lot of nerve coming here and talking to me like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nickel stared at her without any change in his expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re spying on me,\" Rosalina continued, staring straight into his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Waiting for any slip-up so you can crush me. Don’t pretend I don’t know what you’re thinking, ’brother’.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had always known. This useless man had been watching her every move, searching for weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Because of him, I had to act so cold toward my Julius...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart burned with anger, but her face remained a calm stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I don’t make you pay for this one day...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think I’m naive?\" she said quietly. \"Get out. Leave now...before I make you leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air in the hall felt heavy. Nickel said nothing. He only looked at her, the gentle mask still on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t get angry, sister,\" Nickel said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t have to be so extreme. I’ll leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up. The smile on his face looked empty, more like a mask than anything real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and walked toward the door, slow and steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah... by the way,\" he said without looking back, \"Father sent you this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached into his jacket, pulled out a round orb the size of a fist, and tossed it toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina caught it easily. She said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nickel stepped through the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gentle look on his face broke the moment he crossed the line. His eyes turned cold, hard like ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint blue screen appeared in front of him. No one else could see it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*System Notification*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Quest Completed: Meet the Villainess*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Objective: Confirm her feelings for Julius Augustus Hayes and gain trust from Cyprian Thorne*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rewards have been given*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*[Warning: Do NOT attract the attention of Julius Augustus Hayes.]*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nickel stared at the last line. His fingers twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept looking at the screen for a long time. His eyebrows pulled together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This isn’t right...\" he muttered. \"The villain proposed to the villainess this early? In the original story, there were no scenes from the villain’s point of view...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, he turned his head and looked back toward the hall where Rosalina was still standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold feeling ran down his back. Not because of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Augustus Hayes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The true monster of this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gifted in mind. Gifted in strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His schemes were so deep that even the feared Villainess, the terror of the hero himself, could not match him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nickel’s breathing grew shallow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered how cruel and evil that man was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the hero had not possessed the power to return to the past, the story would have ended again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I want to survive, I must stay away from him... and help the hero.\" He murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Julius noticed him, even once, Nickel knew what would happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Villainess is not a threat. In the end, the Villain will kill her. What I need to do is simple, I must not draw their attention.\" He murmured to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then looked back at the door and spoke, \"don’t get ahead of yourself, Villainess...\" he said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he gave a small, bitter laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Sorry. Sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lips curved into a smile, but his eyes stayed cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not the useless extra you remember.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A twisted, bizarre smile spread across his face as he disappeared down the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Rosalina looked down at the orb in her hand. She channeled her mana into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orb pulsed and grew larger until it reached the size of her palm, then stopped. She opened it quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A letter slid out, along with a small, shining treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The letter was from her father, the Patriarch of the Valentina family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She read it in silence. With every line, her eyes grew colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint, sharp killing intent flickered in her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cyprian Thorne!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1125,"2026-06-10T05:56:21.839Z",1,"novelbin.me","ef41d967477f2caea11296686f858738e17edf9dce38d27d0fba80179d2145cc","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-207","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-206",220,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fvillainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-cover.jpg"]
