My older sister is a villainous rich girl

"In this world, no matter how precious the treasure, your name, Miss, is enough to make them pale in comparison."

"..."

Wayne: Subway, old man, cell phone.jpg

A gust of wind swept by, and the girl was nowhere to be seen on the grapevine trellis.

Richard was taken aback.

Under the hazy moonlight, everything that had just happened here seemed like a dream.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Suddenly, a servant called out to him in a tense voice.

Disordered footsteps came from the front yard, and along the way, the magic lamps along the corridor lit up one after another, and many people rushed in.

"Your Highness! Martial law has been declared in the capital. An extremely dangerous person has appeared in the nearby streets. For your safety, it would be best if Your Highness returned to the secret chamber for protection."

A hint of surprise flashed across Richard's face.

Who is it?

"She is said to be a very beautiful woman. She wears a black cloak, has long black hair, and possesses extremely powerful magic."

Richard was not surprised but delighted: "What's her name?"

"It seems to be called Aikos."

The attendant reported, "Her portrait is being posted throughout the capital overnight, and a reward is offered for information leading to her arrest."

"Aikos...?"

"Even if you don't want to tell me, I still know. That's probably fate."

The prince's soliloquy was barely audible.

……

Camille left without saying goodbye.

The girl, who had just suffered a great calamity, left only a short letter for Wayne. In it, she thanked him and the Duke for their help, and said that she had chosen to accept the Church's sponsorship and would be traveling to the Papacy to receive theological enlightenment.

If we meet again someday... I hope I can stand before Wayne with strength and confidence.

That's how it ended.

Wayne held the letter up to the light and examined it closely.

"Snapped--"

A note was thrown at him and hit him in the face.

Wayne turned his gaze away unhappily and looked at Ge Li, who was sitting next to him.

"Could you please not slap me in the face next time?"

Goli casually tore off a piece of scrap paper, scribbled something on it, and then held it up for Wayne to see.

【urgent! 】

"..."

Wayne silently picked up the note that had fallen back onto the table.

When he opened it, he discovered that Ge Li had actually bought separately cut small stationery for passing notes. The colors were beautiful, and it even had a faint, pleasant fragrance.

Hmm... I must say, very professional.

His Highness has replied to my letter.

Wayne perked up and continued reading.

But he said he already had someone he loved, a beautiful and lovely girl who was the only treasure in the world to him, and asked everyone not to write to him anymore, as it was bothering him.

Gan!

Upon seeing this sentence, Wayne looked constipated and was so embarrassed that he scratched his toes on the ground.

None of the tricks you mentioned are effective! Give me my money back!

The words "refund" on the note deeply stung Wayne's heart.

He took out a pen and wrote angrily:

Nothing in this world is difficult if you set your mind to it! If a method isn't effective, it's not the method's fault, but rather that you haven't found the method that best suits you.

Let's discuss this in person after class!

At noon, Wayne did not go to the primary school cafeteria, but instead met with Ge Li at the tea restaurant in the public service area.

"Main course option number two. Two servings."

Ge Li casually ordered her food and sat down in her favorite spot with her legs crossed.

"Wait, aren't you going to ask me what I want to eat?"

Wien protested indignantly.

"You eat what I eat, or you pay for it yourself."

“Ah! I suddenly remembered, since Miss Ge Li has such good taste, then I must also like what you like to eat.” Wayne gave a fake smile.

Ge Li gave him a disdainful look.

"Stop with the nonsense, the most important thing now is to solve the problem with His Highness!"

She tossed a letter at me with a somber expression. "Read it yourself. It's the prince's reply."

Wayne carefully extended a finger and pushed it to the farthest corner of his body, chuckling awkwardly, "No need. There are many ways to refuse, but they all mean the same thing."

Ge Li paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed."

"Now, assuming the prince already has someone he loves, then the only thing left to compete on is perseverance."

Wayne said, "Young love is very elusive. It might just be because you said a word to them, picked up a book for them, or smiled gently at them that they might fall in love with you."

"However, this kind of 'love' mostly stems from one's own fantasies; it is like a rootless duckweed, easily defeated by reality."

"Therefore, we must not be discouraged!"

Chapter 82: Strange ways to break up couples have increased!

In a tea restaurant that wasn't very popular.

Wayne is giving Geli an in-depth analysis of her relationship, constantly brainwashing her that she shouldn't give up easily even if Geli has someone she likes.

If you swing your hoe well, no corner is too hard to dig down!

Ge Li ate in small bites, nodding occasionally, though it was unclear how much he had actually listened to.

"Olive, over here!"

Someone pushed open the door and came in, calling to their companions who were lagging behind.

Upon hearing the name, Wayne looked up curiously.

A girl with long brown hair, about fifteen or sixteen years old, walked in through the doorway.

Two small braids, tied with red string, hung down on either side of her hairline. She wore a cat hair clip on her forehead and held a stack of documents that appeared to be posters.

"Olive, why do you have so many things to do? It's not easy for me to treat you to something to eat," complained the girl with the low ponytail who came in first.

Judging from the style of their uniform ribbons, they are both students at the main campus of Seiki Academy.

Wayne was somewhat taken aback. Wasn't this Olive the girl who had come with her father that night and summoned powerful fire magic?

I even took her butterfly hair clip; where did I put it again?

Oh, I think I left it in the bedside table drawer.

"After all, the newly established student council in the academy was implemented under my initiative. If I don't take the lead in doing some things, who will?" Olive smiled nonchalantly.

"But...but this is too much! They call themselves the student council, but they've dumped almost all the mundane tasks that nobody wants to do on you. Posting notices, cleaning, logistics, feeding the animals, even grading the tutoring papers for the elementary and junior high sections—you're always so busy, this is just..."

“Kelly, this is nothing.”

Olive gazed at her friend and said softly, "More than doing these things, I'm worried about not even having the chance to do these little things."

"The student council's existence is only valuable if it contributes to everyone."

“Olive…” The girl named Kelly wanted to say something, but seeing her determined eyes, her gaze softened.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Olive smiled and said, "Hurry up and finish eating. I still need to go and post a reward notice for the suspect, Echoes, in the neighborhood later."

Wayne: Shock!

So it wasn't a poster after all, but my bounty?

So, can I use the clues I left behind to exploit myself?

Upon hearing this, Kelly looked somewhat worried. "I heard that she used very horrific methods to kill the entire family of Baron Colclough, who lived in the outer city. Is that true?"

Olive hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "It shouldn't be her, but rather the work of a remnant of Millistan's former kingdom."

"But in short, you must be careful when you see this person. It's best to stay far away and avoid contact, as it's very dangerous."

Seeing that Wayne kept glancing in that direction, intentionally or unintentionally, Ge Li raised an eyebrow.

"You know him?"

"Huh? I don't know him."

Wayne picked up his glass and took a sip of juice. "I'm just curious about the students at headquarters."

Ge Li glanced in the direction of the two people and lowered his voice to say, "The girl facing us is Olive Hawke, the president of the newly established student organization, the 'Student Council'."

Wayne asked in confusion, "Isn't there a Lily Society?"

"Yes, there's already a Lily Society."

Ge Li put down his fork and elegantly raised his handkerchief to wipe the corner of his mouth.

"However, the Lily Society only accepts a very small number of the most elite nobles and will never accept students whose family background is not good enough."

"Perhaps she intends to seize some power from the Lily Society by relying on the support of the lower-ranking nobles and commoners recruited by the main body."

Student councils exist in many other schools in the kingdom, but they have only been established now at Seiki Academy, which is known as the number one academy.

This can be seen as a signal, as it had been debated for many years within the school council before it was allowed to pass.

In the past, many board members have sternly refused, citing the century-old tradition that "only the Lily Society can enjoy the highest dominant position in the academy."

However, since Qingxi Academy was influenced by the church and some officials and had to expand its enrollment of students whose family backgrounds did not meet the requirements, the call for the establishment of a student council suddenly became louder.

Olive was the first student to dare to write a proposal directly to the council, requesting the establishment of the "Student Council" organization.

"Wow, that sounds really impressive." Wayne listened with a look of longing.

Ge Li said irritably, "You need to understand that you are also a member of the Lily Society, and your position is naturally opposed to that of the Student Council."

Wayne ground his back teeth and fell silent.

Well, the Lily Society is an organization...

He looks like he's about to fail miserably!

The organization selects members primarily based on family background, strictly prohibits other students and teachers from entering its activity rooms, and is rife with rumors and underhanded dealings. Even in the cafeteria, there are VIP seats that ordinary students are absolutely forbidden from touching.

Isn't this just blatantly writing on its face: I'm the villain, come at me!

Well... but since the original work is a disguised otome anime, it shouldn't be a big problem as long as the female lead can accept it.

……

During the afternoon's activities, Richard specifically gathered all the members of the Lily Club.

"I have something very important to announce," he said.

“It’s surprising that Richard takes something so seriously,” Gavin said casually, sipping coffee in the Lily Club’s private activity room.

“Yes, although His Highness is perfect, it always feels like he doesn’t have time to really care about anything before he’s finished,” Sophia said. “So, it’s not uncommon to feel that he’s a bit careless at times.”

"Whatever it is, just finish already," Chris said, resting her chin on her hand. "Our craft club's event is waiting for me."
