I’m a Villainess but So Popular

Editor : Aru

The touch of Cassius who caught me was not coercive.

So I didn’t feel sick.

Nevertheless, his eyes were as full of life as a beast before him of prey.

“What do you mean? Yerine promised to go with me after the performance.”

The moment the three were trying to talk about going together, Erica’s voice came up.

“Aren’t you mistaken for yourself?”

With him, the eyebrows of Cassius wriggled finely.

Erica’s words, saying whether he was mistaken, must have touched his planting.

‘I’m screwed.

Cassius’s golden eyes were emitting more light than ever before.

And his stare at Erica with a piercing look reminded me of a tiger with yellow eyes and curled up to rush at his opponent.

On top of that, Erica did not lose, and the cold looked over Cassius with a young look and pulled my sleeve as if she were trying to pull me out of Cassius’s hand.

‘They’re looking at each other like they’re going to kill each other……’

Their eyes were like sparks. In that great atmosphere, people crept away and settled away from us.

Despite the atmosphere of the ball almost starting right away, Erica and Cassius were not thinking of leaving their seats, and some students were whispering while looking at us.

“Isn’t it Prince II with Miss Yerine?”

“Yes, but why is Miss Blothea holding Miss Yerine’s arm?”

Nevertheless, Erica and Cassius growled indifferently, and I slowly felt the need to mediate the conflict between the two.

“Ay, Cassius, what’s wrong with you all of a sudden? There’s no happier day than today, so let’s relax and go around together.”

My face was smiling hard, but I was sweating inwardly.

When Cassius applied for a partner twice in a situation where I no longer wanted to get involved in a relationship with the main characters, I said I would go and hang out with him instead of dancing.

However, I never said I would “go alone” with him.

The same was true of Erica.

I was only with Erica while people danced and tried to join Cassius, but things got mixed up.

“You too, Erica. I think three of us can go together…….”

While trying to stop the fight by dropping the two, a hand wrapped in black gloves came in and grabbed my left wrist.

“There are so many people here that the three of us can get along.”

At Eugene’s voice, Cassius, and Erica’s head turned simultaneously.

Eugene added, looking at me in a crooked voice, but with straight eyes.

“You don’t like to be in a place with a lot of people.”

“Uh.”

My mind went blank at the moment.

I had to roll my brain quickly, but there were so many mountains to climb that my brain didn’t work properly.

‘I’m in a lot of trouble. Why is this guy cutting in?’

So far, he’s been silent and still, I couldn’t tell why he brought up a crooked story while I was barely stopping the fight.

At that moment an ominous premonition passed through my mind.

“I’ll take you to a deserted and leisurely place, so let’s go together, Spade.”

Sure enough, Erica and Cassius were already looking at Eugene with blazing eyes. But he didn’t really care.

Then I heard a professor’s sharp voice.

“Hey, don’t be crowded there, quickly find a partner and get yourself settled!”

At the professor’s voice, everyone’s eyes turned to us, and I asked back in embarrassment.

“Well, me? Professor?”

“Yes, Miss Spade. The ball will start soon, so find a partner!”

Oh, my. I have no intention of dancing.

After suffering from these guys, I had to play a waltz that I had never played before.

Looking around, we were in the middle of the banquet hall, that is, in the middle of the dancing people.

There the orchestra was almost ready for the performance.

This means that it is impossible to go through the corner among those who have already settled down.

‘I’m screwed.’

As I rolled my eyes and looked for a way out of the situation, Eugene talked, dragging my arm.

“Dance with me.”

“With whose permission?”

Cassius growled out of the way between me and Eugene.

“You may step on my foot, Yerine, it’s okay if you can’t dance, so let’s dance with me.”

“What are you talking about? We still have plenty of time to get out. Yerine, you’re all right. Come with me. If we go out now, the professor won’t know.”

Eugene, Cassius and Erica all had a war of nerves trying to take me away with their eyes lit.

I really wanted to cry. My head was ringing and I wanted to let out a sigh.

In the meantime, the three of them didn’t think about letting me go, holding my shoulders and arms.

‘Is this for real?’

I’ve been working hard, determined not to get involved with the main character.

I’ve been ignoring Cassius’s numerous times.

I thought Erica and I were gonna be good friends.

And I thought I’d never get involved with a bad guy like Eugene,

‘Original male lead, heroine, and even self-proclaimed rivals are all fighting over me?’

I’m in the middle of a square relationship because I’ve tried enough not to be involved with the original main character.

At that time, the orchestra performed an elegant waltz song, and people began to dance to the beautiful melody.

The ball started while there was confusion.

Looking around, I looked around and found Rayl and Astra dancing in pairs, and Rachel was also waltzing with another boy.

Everyone was beautiful and looked elegant.

Except for these three who are staring at each other as if they were going to kill each other.

“I say again, I was the first to apply for a partner with Yerine. And she definitely said she wanted to dance with me. So you guys have no business.”

Wait, I don’t remember that.

‘The switch is pressed because of the Eugene……..’

Cassius didn’t seem to want to send me to Eugene even if he lied that I had decided to dance with him.

I had a lot to say, but when I looked at his expression, I thought it would only hurt my mouth to speak, so I kept silent for now, with a tired look on my face and a tacit expression with no intention to stop the fighting.

“What are you talking about? She never said that.”

As soon as Cassius finished speaking, Eugene said.

His voice, as usual, had no gozer, but its coldness and sharpness seemed to have doubled.

“Hey, don’t dance stupidly and follow me. I’ll teach you.”

I really want to say, “I’m sorry but I don’t need that” but it stuck in my throat.

“I’m sorry, but Yerine said she doesn’t like dancing. So she’s going to go eat a delicious dessert with me from now on.”

Erica drew my arm again and talked.

Erica was right, but she needed to say it after she got rid of the mist in her eyes, Erica.

People are all dancing, but these three are looking at each other with eyes as if to say “whether you or I will be dying today”, so it was natural for them to stand out.

Soon, the students started talking to each other loud enough for me to hear and the dancers also glanced at us and turned their gaze downwards.

“Can’t you see people waiting now? Leave Yerine alone and you guys find another partner.”

Cassius strained his voice and slightly pulled one side of my arm.

But Eugene or Erica couldn’t let me go easily just because they heard such things.

“No, Spade feels uncomfortable dancing with you. You’re talking nonsense again!”

“That’s right! Yerine said she wasn’t going to dance and she’ll be hanging around with me!”

The two were also very consistent in expressing their opinions.

“Stop both of you. Yerine has a troubled look on her face.”

Did you know that now?

“It’s because of someone that she’s in trouble!”

“Don’t talk like it’s not because of you, Blothea. You were the first to provide the cause.”

“As you come in the middle, you have nothing to say, Eugene Ace.”

As Erica growled, Eugene looked down at her with his blue eyes and snapped her hands.

“Yes, you’re going to come to me.”

At Eugene’s words, Erica put my arm on the line and put me in combat readiness.

“So you said it was my fault then?”

Then Cassius stepped forward and said,

“Well, I don’t think Blothea said the wrong thing.”

Eugene snorted at his words.

“You don’t think you’re the best, do you, Prince? Don’t forget that it was you who bothered Spade all the time.”

“I think I’d be better than you who’d been arguing to her all the time. Yerine will be less bothered by me than you are.”

“You don’t know that.”

Then Erica popped out.

“That’s no use. Because Yerine likes me best.”

Both Cassius and Eugene began to breathe life out of their bodies.

I had a throbbing forehead.

‘How come not a single day passes quietly?’

The quarrel between Erica, Cassius and Eugene was still going on, and the three were really on the verge of using magic against each other.

And whether he really decided to fight, Cassius opened his mouth.

“Okay. Let’s duel to bring this matter to a conclusion–”

Maybe it was then.

My anger exploded and visibility turned white.

Stuck quietly between the three, I invoked the flame magic, and Cassius and Erica stopped moving in the air.

Eugene also turned his head and looked perplexed.

The three, who were fighting over me but were not able to see my response, had a look of regret.

“Never mind about that just….”

All three of them, frozen with a heavy voice that seemed to contain anger, slowly looked at me.

“Will you all get out of here?”
