QT: Against My Will

467 7.91 – Let’s Grab Something To Eat – War Of The Wickeds

‘~It looks like hubby boy lost interest in approaching us for a time being.’

Said Dai An when they reached their dormitory room. Ezikiel’s belongings were gone, together with the boy himself.

‘We refused his offer to reconcile, so it’s his turn to act hurt now,’ replied Bing Shi, looking around and sighing, ‘He only raised his voice at me because I dared to suggest such a reckless thing like giving him a helping hand, I should have apologized right there and then.’

‘~Good you didn’t. Both of you had a reason, but did you attack him with your words? No. Did he attack you with his words? Yes, he hurt you, literally. It’s not like he couldn’t control himself, he could, and chose to attack you.’

‘I was being sarcastic,’ Bing Shi shook then nodded her head with a giggle, ‘You are like this little angel which used to be on my right shoulder.’

‘~I’m more suited to be a devil.’

‘No, I already have a devil....a devil that always decides to hurt me instead of protecting me.’

‘~What happened to the angel?’

‘I gave it to hubby to protect him from me.’

.....

The two girls laughed, before Bing Shi added, ‘I’m not tired yet. Let’s grab something to eat?’

‘~Okay…?’

Dai An answered suspiciously.

Bing Shi walked down the stairs and headed towards Silvia’s personal training room. They chose to make a fire and bake some sweet potatoes.

‘This is nice,” said Bing Shi, smiling brightly as the smell filled the area with warmth. ‘This is the first time I didn’t end up worrying about my man the whole night after a dispute and am actually enjoying myself. Maybe this is what he wanted to show me…that there is no need to worry about him.’

‘You are probably right.’ Dai An responded with a grin. After baking a batch of potatoes, she screwed a marshmallow for Stinky Bun and Xiao Pu, and placed it over the fire while listening to Bing Shi’s happy humming.

‘I planned to learn how to sing a few popular songs from this world.’

So that’s why she wanted to go here. She finally stopped talking about her husband and switched on the projector. The soundproof walls would allow her to sing karaoke as loudly as she wanted.

When the articles came out, many described Nathaniel’s high authority among the students. They mentioned how he always kept his cool even when there was chaos happening around him. Even the ‘problematic’ Liam’s pack members could only run away with their tails between their legs.

—During the lunch break.

Inside Silvia’s training room, Liam gripped his phone, “Babe, we should have stayed back and taught those cocky paparazzi bastards a lesson!”

Many were enraged by the news and immediately began asking questions, “It’s only about Liam and Juliet fighting over a mysterious omega! What is going on? There is no mention of Silvia’s name anywhere!” They waited until the said person was done ironing her dress.

“Am I that unrecognizable?” Bing Shi went to put on the white dress Dai An chose for today.

“Your face is either blurred or covered by an umbrella,” answered Bertha.

Bing Shi, “I wonder why.”

Because you have been jumping around like a rain fairy during a storm! Everyone flipped their imaginary tables. They all looked like servants serving a celestial being instead of students training to be future soldiers! No, not servants! Clowns!

Juliet typed a few letters into her browser, “There is not a single article about your recent auction.”

“What the hell?!” Liam growled, “Don’t tell me they are going to ban it?” His words caused them to look at each other, then at Silvia.

“I received a letter from the school council,” Bing Shi pointed at the piece of paper on the table, “Because of the auction, I’m prohibited from leaving the school grounds, it also includes trips behind the barriers. They deem them as too dangerous for me.”

“You’re kidding, right?” Liam asked in disbelief.

“It’s real. It was also signed by Nathaniel Hauxley himself,” Bing Shi answered from behind the changing cabin.

Liam’s eyes opened wider, “Are they serious?”

Juliet frowned, “What are you going to do? We still haven’t found Earl Fester’s treasure yet.”

“The more I rebel, the more they will try to suppress me,” Bing Shi waved her hand around, calling over Bertha to help her zip up the dress. “What would a female lead from your favorite novel do?”

“She would try to run away and go behind the barriers on her own,” Bertha covered her mouth, “No, You can’t do that! It’s too dangerous!”

“Oh yeah, you’re right. Let’s think up another plan.” Bing Shi gave Bertha a thumbs up, “So what do you suggest?”

Bertha thought for a bit, “You can try to seduce the ML...no I mean bribe someone from the council members.”

Juliet laughed, “That won’t work, because nobody knows who they are, except for Nathaniel Hauxley.”

“Nathaniel will cut off my tongue if I try to talk to him again,” Bing Shi rubbed her chin, “Bertha you should take some inspiration from Elera Mai and give it a try.”

“Me? I don’t want to do anything like that!” Bertha shook her head, “I have no idea how to do that! I don’t want to be hated by the whole school...No!”

Bing Shi grabbed her cane, “Trust me, it’s easier than you think. Just keep in mind, the most important part is to be confident in yourself.”

Bertha thought about it for a while as she came up with a perfect plan, “Fine, fine! I’ll give it a try. But you have to come with me!” She had no idea why Silvia would turn completely unreasonable in some people’s presence, but she wanted to put a stop to it and let everyone know the more than capable Silvia LeClére!

“Perfect, let’s go!” Bing Shi marched out of the training room together with Bertha, “From now on, you will be my spokesman.”

“You can’t possibly be serious.” Bertha sighed, “Do you actually think I’m good at talking? I just learned how to say ‘my name is’ and ‘hello’. The rest sounds pretty weird, even for me.”

Bing Shi smiled as if the situation was not dire at all, “We’ll make the best out of it!”
