Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant

The Victureo's carriage arrived at the Aspakeony Academy a little bit later than a certain luxurious carriage without any crest.

Many students had their eyes on both of those, although the crestless carriage seemed to get more excited looks and murmurs.

"Hmph...! So annoying, who dares to push their way in front of the Victureo family?!"

Grazio scoffed while glued to the window.

"Trashy-pest, you really don't have any redeeming qualities I see."

"...why are you like this...?"

Miriette shut her book and put it aside making Grazio shudder under her cod glare.

"You are huffing and puffing about young lady Kallerontte's carriage arrived before yours."

"...!"

The red-haired girl shook her head while shrugging her shoulders with a mocking expression and the red-haired boy turned back to the window with a shocked expression.

...right in time to witness the door of the crestless carriage opening...

The first being to come outside was a large dark-brown wolf with intelligent eyes. Some students backed off immediately, and a few that recognized it as a type of monster called armored wolf eve activated their enchantments preparing for self-defense.

Still, not a single thing that the onlookers were worried about happened. The wolf sniffed the air a few times and after becoming complacent and wagging its tail a bit it sat down patiently waiting by the carriage and let out a quick yelp.

As if that was a signal – probably because it was – the next person got out.

This time it was a tall serious looking boy. Brownish-black hair and grayish-blue eyes outed him suggesting that he wasn't a mana user and that assumption was true.

Causing even more murmurs than the armored wolf, it was none other than Geroizen Tenelion – the only son of the third daughter of the Tencelion family. A martial artist just like his father.

Funnily enough despite the relatively good relationship between the kingdom of Bellcephora and the Heavenly Star Nation across the ocean not only nobles but many people knew about the star power users... only because of the husband and child of the third daughter of the Tencelion family.

...them two and the mysterious masked attendant of Kierul Berra Helterose who was reported dead a few months prior...

Geroizen was wearing a butler's uniform so he clearly wasn't going to attend the Academy as a student, but considering that he was already older than the third-year students it wasn't that unthinkable for the onlookers.

Although the next person caused a slightly different type of disturbance.

A girl that seemed to not belong to the physical world walked out.

Her hair, eyes, skin... there was absolutely no color in them, a perfect white-as-snow being, the well-known variant snow magician. The eldest daughter of the Hontreu family only very recently rejoiced because of the birth of their fifth child.

Metavicero Hontreu.

She, unlike Geroizen, was donning the uniform of the Aspaekony Academy with the silver badge of the first-year student.

But...

Everyone was curious – why would a lady from the Hontreu family arrive in a carriage without a crest?

Geroizen offered her his hand and Metavicero stepped out – still, neither she nor the brownish-black-haired boy nor even the dark-brown wolf moved entered the academy's dormitory building and all waited while facing the carriage.

The reason for their behavior showed itself very soon or rather showed herself very soon in form of the fourth being that traveled with the previous three.

A refreshingly beautiful blond-haired girl with eyes blue like sapphires.

The only dual attribute magician that revealed themselves in the Kingdom of Bellcephora.

Burushi Kallerontte.

She was a well-known healing magician that everyone talked about, not only was she a literal miracle worker but she also could use water attribute with great proficiency.

She was the benefactor of dozens of families of the students currently attending the Aspakeony Academy – including the Tencelion and Hontreu families.

With her there, the reason for her carriage to not have a crest was clear.

Kallerontte was the family name of Burushi's grandmother. Burushi herself was in fact a love child of lord Modari Tallaran, and it was a family that technically stopped existing with all the children of the late lord Kallarontte marrying into other families.

The territory of the Kallarontte family was already ya a part of a different territory through marriage, so honestly, it was merely an empty name that lost its crest together with the land.

BUT it nonetheless was a name that could give a noble title to an illegitimate child... especially since said illegitimate child was someone so capable.

To make it more obvious how coveted lady Burushi was nowadays– it was said that not even young lady Ehmi Gamemi Victureo before her engagement with the first prince Horeo received as many marriage proposals as a whole as she did within a year.

"Ah! It's her...!"

Grazi gasped finally realizing his rudeness. Nonetheless, the crestless carriage rode away with all of its passengers out and made space for the Victureos to take the spot.

Having some time to figure out what he did wrong and seeing this occasion as a chance to make up for it, Grazio the moment that carriage stopped Grazio hurried over to be the one to exit first so that he could be the one to open the door for Miriette and help her step out.

Which honestly wasn't such a good plan.

*poke*

"Huh...?"

The red-haired boy already had his hand on the door when he felt something touching his back and when he looked over his shoulder he saw Miriette pressing her index finger against his back.

"My lady...? What are you...?"

Grazio asked awkwardly and in response, Miriette moved the hair out of the way and smiled at him charmingly causing the boy to blush...

"I told you that I will reveal to you why I act like that towards you when we enter the Aspakeony Academy's grounds didn't I?"

The dark-haired girl asked without changing her bewitching expression which made Grazio struggle to speak a single word.

"...y-yes... you d-did... my lady..."

Finally, the red-haired boy was able to utter the answer and nod, feeling that his heart was beating fast.

The way that the young lady Espine acted towards him... could it be that she was too shy to show her real feelings while they were anywhere near her family's territory and only under the protection of the absolutely neutral Academy was she going to reveal them?!

Could it be that was why she was smiling so sweetly and even made prudent physical contact with him...?!

Grazio's thoughts raced faster than a pack of hungry monsters chasing their prey.

Even the few seconds that he waited for the answer stretched out into hours for him.

Could it be? Could it be that the sweet Miri that Ehmi always boasted about being her friend would finally reveal herself?!

"Air bullet."

"Hu...?!" *WHOOOOOOOOOOOSH* *WHAM*

The pubescent boy's delusions were shattered the moment that Miriette cast a simple spell and he felt a concentrated pellet of air smash against his back, sending him flying, breaking the door, and tumbling through the ground all the way under the dark-brown wolf's paws.

"Urgh...! Oww... wh-why...? Huh?!"

Grazio yelped, biting his lips in pain while crawling up back to all fours. As he was in the middle of trying to stand up he felt his hair brushing up against something and when he raised his head he was faced with a large wolf baring its fangs furiously.

"Grrrr...!" 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com

There was no doubt that the monster was extremely displeased about a red-haired boy bumping into it and was audibly warning him to get the hell out as fast as possible.

"HIIIIIIH...!"

Grazio cried out in a high-pitched voice and pushed himself back, falling on his back and crawling away completely forgetting about how many people are watching.

The only redeeming quality of his was that while doing that he managed to activate his enchantments so he didn't look like a mindless coward and only appeared as a clear-headed coward instead.

"Hachiko, remember to act like a proper lady."

Many people chuckled at the scene, and a grand majority began whispering amongst each other, some even sympathized with Grazio – but only the white-as-snow girl approached the dark-brown wolf and said strictly while rubbing the monster's back.

"Nnn... nnn..."

The armored wolf hid its fangs in a flash and while its tail was wagging so fast it was creating a small gust of wind it turned around to look at the girl and whimpered apologetically.

"That's right, Hachiko is the cutest smartest girl~! Mommy is so proud of you!"

Seeing the wolf's remorse, Metavidero smiled dotingly and extended the reach of the affectionate pats to the monster's head, and although originally it seemed impossible, the creature's tail began wagging even faster than before.

"Yeh, nah, Meta... Hachiko is mine though, remember?"

?

The blond-haired Burushi furrowed her brows and grumbled while squinting her eyes at the girl playing with her security beast.

"Don't listen to her Hachiko, master is just jealous."

"Raugh~!"

The white-as-snow girl frowned staring back at the blond-haired girl while leaning towards the wolf and whispering into its ear to which the monster responded with an excited bark.

"Master, what about that rude noble? He went so far as to try and mess with our Hachiko."

The brownish-black-haired Geroizen spoke up while stepping forward, staring unfriendly at the fallen Grazio.

"George, stop it, you are rude. Can't you see it's the young lord Victureo?"

Burushi sighed shaking her head while reprimanding her attendant.

"It is...?"

Geroizen stopped in place and turned to his master with confusion before looking back at the heavily breathing Grazio.

"Dear heavens, it is! Pardon my rudeness, young lord Victureo. I could not recognize you on the ground, you usually look far more noble."

The older boy bowed down apologetically and even approached Grazio and offered him a helping hand.

...he acted so polite that the fact that he was openly mocking the red-haired boy went completely over their heads...
