The villainess aims for a peaceful life 52 Julia POV 2

The day after the meeting I got my answer. The bullying got worse than before. Was at this time that Al confronted me about what was happening and I broke down in tears. I told him about the bullying and its relationship with Miss Cecile and in the middle of my crying I also ended up saying that I loved him... and for my surprise he also had the same feelings about me!

After that we started dating. I was first surprised that we were so open, but Al said that we didn't need to hide anything from anyone. When I asked about Cecile, he said that he needed time to solve their engagement since involved the two families.

Although I felt pity for Miss Cecile, I was unable to hide my love for Al. And in the end we are true love, someday for sure she will understand everything and bless us!

The bullying, as one would expect, only got worse after we started dating, but if that was the price I should pay to be with Albert, so be it.

However, everything changed because of one bullying incident. One day, I was going in my usual route to meet Al for lunch, when I felt someone pushing me from behind.

"You should just die. Miss Cecile is the only right one for the Crown Prince!"

I fell from the stairs hearing such a horrible thing. Luckily George caught me and I didn't suffer any injuries. We went to the infirmary because of George's insistence, and it didn't took long to see Al opening the door breathless.

"Juli! Are you alright?"

"Yes, it was just minor scratches thanks to George. You should thank him, otherwise you would have an all patched girlfriend haha~"

"You-! How can you laugh after such an incident! Right, did you see who made it?"

"No, they were behind me and ran faster after they pushed me. But they did mention Miss Cecile... do you think is her doing Al?"

"Cecile! To think she would be vicious to such a point! Don't worry Julia, I'll handle her fast. I won't let her get away with this"

"Al, don't hurt her too much. She only does that because she loves you"

"Fool, that is why people bully you. You are too good to these foolish people"

"Nah, I have you and that's why I don't care about anything else"

After the incident Al and my friend became super busy trying to deal with the engagement break. But all this was for naught. Miss Cecile got a wind of the whole plan and ask to meet Al. I thought that everything would go south, but not long after the engagement broke up and I became a legitimate lover per se.

I thought that after they broke the engagement my happy ending was very close, however reality once again deferred from my prediction.

Everything starts to get weird with one invitation.

Lady Cecile who all of us thought was too sad to even leave her room, send a invitation for all the noble circle to come for the opening of her new shop.

When Al opened the invitation his face was filled with anger and pride.

"Are we going Al?"

"Of course we are, she dared to invite why wouldn't I dare to go?"

When we arrived at Temone with all our friends, I was sincerely amazed by the environment. But more dazzling then the beautiful shop was Miss Cecile. She greeted us with a big smile and seemed much happier than the last time I saw her.

Seeing her shine in the society even without Al, I was genuinely happy for her. I don't think that if Al ever leave me I could do the same as her, in a way, I really admire her. She even looked like she got a lover! Good for you Miss Cecile!

Although she denied, I'm sure is just because she is shy. Fufu~ to think that even Miss Cecile can be shy sometimes.

"So let me explain how Temone works. We have private rooms, the nobles room, the noblewomen room, the nobleman room, the commoners room, the general room and the outdoor tables. All of the rooms, offer books and a place to sit and relax. The books of each room are more emphasized on the topic or genre that is more popular among the target public of the room. The rooms differ in some details like the pallet colors used do decorate and some things that are available in each room. As for the outdoor tables-"

'How could they be so cruel? I know that nobleman tend to disregard the commoners, but I never seen a evident discrimination! Is so sad that there are people like this'

"What is wrong Julia, are you hurt somewhere?"

"No. *sob* I can continue don't mind *sob*"

"Did I perhaps done or said that make you upset?"

"*sob* don't you think is to sad *sob* that you discriminate against commoners?*sob*"

"I guess you misunderstood me Miss Julia. Most of my friends are commoners after all, and regarding the rooms, although they're divided like so the client can go to any room he chooses bedsides the private room, unless he is an IP member. We only thought that our clients would be more relaxed surrounded by a familiar atmosphere. When a commoner is surrounded by nobles or vice-versa they often don't feel relaxed. But if you wish to go to the commoners room or they want to visit the nobles room, it's not prohibited"

"It is so?"

"Yes. But since you probably were not the only who had this misconception I will change the name of the rooms, so people won't become offended like you did. Thank you for your kind review"

'I'm glad that Miss Cecile is just how people say. I'm sure her business will flourish!'

After we spent the whole afternoon in Temone we went back to the Palace.

"Juli, because the Royal Banquet is soon and will be your first time introduced as my official partner, Mother said to let you start the Queen's training"

"Queen training? Did Miss Cecile also did it?"

"Ah- yeah. Since she was 6. If she has a good reputation nowadays is for sure due to the training"

"So can I also become like her?"

"I'm sure you will surpass her in no time"

Hearing the words of incentive of Al, I went to the training fired up, however...

"How can someone be so useless, even that stupid brat Cecile could do this at 10 years old. How come you can't even compre to a child?!"

"Are you sure you want to be a Queen? Seriously I spent so much time training that dumb child just to have the Crown Prince to change the candidate for someone dumber than her"

For a week I went through hell and back many times. I must say that my respect for Miss Cecile grew a lot in that week. To think that what I found hard she already could do at 10! If this is not a genius I don't know what it is.
