Volume 3 + Chapter 50: I’m Annoyed
At that moment, Lia’s expression clearly showed that she did care — a lot.
Xia Yi has… an ex-girlfriend?
“What you just said… is it true?” Lia asked.
“Absolutely, Miss Lia,” the boy replied. “I heard the news this morning. I even spent a bit of money to dig around and heard a firsthand account from someone who saw it happen.”
“She really has an ex-girlfriend?”
“Yes. That much is already confirmed. Xia Yi’s ex-girlfriend is her roommate — a girl named Yue, supposedly from the Swordsmanship Department. Quite beautiful, long pink hair, and even pink eyes.”
“Apparently, they had a romantic relationship in the past. They were very sweet when they were together, but because their backgrounds were too different, they eventually broke up. Neither of them expected to end up at Laurel Tree Academy together, and by coincidence, they even became roommates.”
“Because it was such an unexpected reunion, they apparently shared a bed last night and engaged in some… questionable behavior. But after waking up in the morning and calming down, they started arguing and even got into a physical fight, which ended up alarming the dormitory teacher in charge.”
Lia’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
“She… actually is into girls? And even dated before?”
Same-sex attraction was quite rare on this continent.
But not unheard of.
As long as one wasn’t in a religion-related profession, who one fell in love with was considered a personal freedom.
In fact, even at Laurel Tree Academy, there were underground same-sex couples.
But someone like Xia Yi — who stirred up such a storm just as the school year began, making her orientation known to everyone — was a first.
“Miss Lia… rumor has it that Xia Yi is also a bottom,” the boy said in a hushed tone.
“……”
“That’s what everyone thinks. Xia Yi is secretly manipulative. She clearly knew the dorm teacher was testing her, but she still took the opportunity to get close to Yue, using it to flirt and toy with Yue’s heart.”
“About Xia Yi’s roommate, Yue…” Lia raised her hand. “I want everything about her — within an hour.”
The boy looked troubled.
“Apologies, Miss Lia, but that might be difficult.”
“Why?”
Lia was clearly confused.
With the Schubert family’s resources, investigating a student’s identity should’ve been child’s play.
“Miss Lia, Yue transferred in very suddenly, apparently through some special channel in Laurel Tree Academy. She didn’t attend the opening ceremony, and she didn’t even take the entrance exam.
The power backing her must be very unusual if they were able to bypass all that.”
“……”
Lia fell silent.
She understood very well — even most royal family members wouldn’t be granted that kind of treatment.
The only explanation was some truly absurd level of background power.
If that was the case, then the theory about them breaking up because of a disparity in status seemed increasingly plausible.
After all, what people currently knew was that Xia Yi came from a minor noble house called the Lawrence family, which was nothing compared to Yue.
A complete mismatch.
Lia’s eyes now showed unmistakable hostility.
Truth be told, she was feeling very unhappy right now.
Especially after hearing someone like that had appeared around Xia Yi.
She had seen Wright always being surrounded by people before — like that Hill girl…
And now that she was just starting to feel a little interested in Xia Yi, this situation cropped up again.
And the source of it all was Hill — again — and now another random pink-haired girl had shown up out of nowhere.
Deep inside, Lia was genuinely pissed off.
“Miss Lia, anything else you’d like to ask?” the boy prompted after seeing Lia remain silent.
“…No need. This information was timely. Thank you.”
The boy smiled.
“You flatter me, Miss Lia. It is our family’s honor to be of service to the Schubert family.”
“I’ll remember this favor.”
“Then I won’t disturb your morning tea any further.”
With that, the boy excused himself.
Only Lia was left behind, lowering her gaze, murmuring softly to herself:
“Xia Yi… who are you, really? Why do I care about you this much…”
—
—
“Ugh, this is so annoying! We’re about to get disciplined!”
Xia Yi stood nervously in the office.
Yue Liu didn’t look any better.
The dorm teacher had brought the two of them to the admin building, gone to report the incident to senior academy staff, and temporarily left them waiting in the office.
Their punishment would be issued once it was approved.
“We haven’t even attended a proper class, and I’m already losing credits…” Yue Liu sighed.
“And whose fault do you think that is?” Xia Yi shot her a glance.
“Why did you faint back then? If you’d just endured it a little and helped prove we weren’t a couple, this wouldn’t have happened.”
“I-I… that was…”
Yue Liu stammered, unable to give a proper explanation.
“I couldn’t help it at the time, okay? It’s your fault — you did those things to me! The moment you got close, I remembered everything!”
“How is this my fault? If you hadn’t climbed into my bed, none of this would’ve happened!”
“You sleep like a wild animal!”
“What’s that got to do with you?” Xia Yi huffed.
“It’s not like I’m planning to share a bed with you again anyway, so who cares?”
“W-who would want to share a bed with you?! Don’t say weird stuff! I would never get into that kind of relationship with you!”
Yue Liu’s face turned red.
“You and I are destined enemies bound by fate! That’s the only connection between us!”
“But now everyone’s going to get the wrong idea. I’m sure the rumors have already spread across the entire school by now.
I get the feeling that if we go explain it ourselves, it’ll only make things worse… It’s not like that at all!” Xia Yi said, face scrunched up in frustration.
“Exactly, exactly! People are being so unfair!”
For once, Yue Liu agreed with Xia Yi, emphasizing her point strongly.
“I’m clearly straight! Totally straight! Do I really look like someone into girls?!”
Xia Yi didn’t know.
She’d never had much interest in romance, let alone any insight into it.
As for the bizarre image people now had of her —
“An adorable loli who’s actually a manipulative, seductive, yuri bottom green tea b*tch” —
That was far beyond the comprehension of a sword saint like her.
“Xia Yi. Um… um…”
Suddenly, Yue Liu called her name.
She hung her head, avoiding eye contact, nervously playing with her fingers, clearly struggling to speak her mind.
“Can you answer a question for me?”
“What kind of question?”
“It’s… about the Vampire Princess.”
