Reincarnated In A Shitty Love Game-Chapter 132

132 Chapter 132 – Defeated

Back in the crown prince’s castle, Killian sat in his room gripping the kerchief tightly., he so depravedly wanted to tear it to shreds but this one thing remained him of his burning revenge against the Rofles.

“Prince...” a soft voice called him.

Glancing up, he saw Clarina standing by his side with a soft smile on her face. She had cleaned up well and was wearing new clothes fit for a queen. Even so, he somehow was reminded of the wretched stench on his body subconsciously.

Clarina moved close and held his hand gently. “If it wasn’t for you, I would have been bullied every day... I’m so thankful to you for saving me my prince. I’m forever grateful for your help,” 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

Feeling the warmth of her palm, he calmed down a bit. “You should be resting right now,”

“I’m fine...” she sat opposite him with grace.

Killian looked at her for a second. “Clarina.”

“Yes?” she smiled up at him.

“What were you doing at that inn?”

.....

For a second he noticed that Clarina’s whole face freeze up. she turned expressionless. Then she gave him a pitiful smile. “I was passing by when I noticed the disturbance in there... so I just went in to check. My intent to help was misunderstood that’s all,”

Killian nodded. But things didn’t add up. that inn was in the most secluded part of the outer edge of the city. it was not possible for her to have headed there. she had no reason to. Clarina doesn’t ride horses or hunt. she was like a delicate flower. it was impossible for her to have gone through that path to meet someone. because only the duke’s Mansion was nearby

his uncle had been cold and callous but he will never blame anyone blindly for a crime they didn’t commit. And then there was Feng. there is a possibility that she... she might be influencing his uncle’s decision but how much can a ten-year-old do?

‘Wait Clarina is also the same age,’ he looked up at her. ‘Feng and my others have joined the academy by now. they will be away from home.....’ he looked at Clarina again. ‘Maybe if I send Clarina there I might be able exact my revenge on feng Rofles.

“Do you wish to join the school of magic?”

Clarina’s eyes sparkled. “Yes... I didn’t want to ask you this but I would like to be educated...”

“I’ll contact the school of magic to take you in,” he said resolutely.

Clarina smiled and nodded. subtly she clenched her skirt. ‘I get to go to school!... hat Feng just you wait till i meet you in school and make your life living hell.’

“The Rofles... how do you know that young lady?” he raised a brow at her.

For a second Clarina was thrown off by his question. “We had the pleasure of meeting while was traveling on our way here, it was... quiet unfortunate that the young lady hates me at sight. What can I say ladies like her would look down on others... I am used to it by now,” she played her pity card.

Killian held her hand and gave her a bit of comfort. “I’ll deal with her. But stay cautious. She is from a powerful family that you can’t afford.”

Clarian was slightly dissatisfied with his answer. It seemed like Killian was not willing to support her completely. ‘I just have to capture his heart, then he would have to help me.’

“yes, prince.....”

*****

Back in the duke’s mansion, Feng was gloating about her success. It was the first time she had won against Clarina. Rapping her in prison for a few days was already a great thing.

But now dissing the crown prince gave her a great sense of achievement.

Humming softly, she walked around the house.

“You seem to be in a great mood. Happy to put down the prince,”

Startled she glanced back. The duke was standing there with a small smile on his face.

“Yes, I am happy. That person was continuously rude to me and our family. He deserved that....” She looked up at him to gauge his reaction.

To her surprise the man seemed quite content with her answer. “that’s right, we never let anyone undermine us. We are the Rofles and the Lineti family,”

He reached forward and picked her up.

“uncle.. I’m already ten years old.” She awkwardly held onto his sturdy shoulders.

“you’re already ten! In a few years, I would not be able to do this. And.... My dear sons seem to hate any type of intimate contact.” He said with a soft frown on his face.

Feng chuckled. Duke had turned from a cold-hearted man to a loving parent just a few days after meeting the twins. To be honest that change surprised her a bit back then.

Now she completely embraced it.

Duke Parlov Lineti loved children. He loved them so much but he did not know how to express it.

She had seen him trying to carry Aiden before but that child simply gave him a cold smile and said no. as for Ethan he shyly would hide behind lady peril’s skirt.

‘Poor man must have been sad that he can’t even carry his own children...’ she gently patted his back. “I’ll talk to them.”

“it’s okay. They will come to terms on their own time. Besides boys are usually so unattached like that,”

“No, Ethan and Aiden and loving kids. They love to be close to people. I’m pretty sure they are just shy, uncle,”

“They are used to being close to you. Not to me,” for a second she saw the man’s lips purse.

“They will change. eventually,”

The duke placed her down when they had reached her room. “I hope so.... those two won’t even take up the Lineti name tsk,” he looked quite saddened by that fact.

Feng sent him off and walked into her room. “I think I need to have a talk with those two. Not taking his surname is bad but they won’t even let him carry them around?! they are kids they must be coddled at this age....”

With a resolution in mind, she deiced to meet up with the boys.

Their room was quite close to her.

she knocked on the doer and waited patiently.

Aiden opened the door. “feng~ come in,” he grabbed her by the hand and pulled her in.

Inside she saw Ethan sitting on the bed.

Even though they had separate rooms, they preferred to sleep together.

As soon as Ethan spotted her, his eyes started to sparkle. He ran to her and held her hand.

“I was so busy today that didn’t get to hear about you guys day. How did it go?”

“Before that Feng we need to talk about your mentor.” Aiden sat down on the bed and patted the spot next to him.

feng and Ethan sat beside him. “What about him?”

“He is the guy who chased you around like a perv, right? Why did you choose him?”

“The duke asked me to. Was kind of surprised when I saw him though. But he is not that bad. He assured me he would teach me all of his knowledge.”

Ethan frowned deeply. “What if he hurt you? This is too risky, Feng. You can never trust an adult fully,”

“Ethan... don’t say that. I know our situation has led to us being slightly untrustful of adults around us but our lives are stable now. We... we should open her hearts a bit and let people in. trust people.....”

She worriedly looked at them both. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

Both Ethan an Aiden seemed to not like this concept at all.

“Guys.... Do you not trust me?”

“We trust you!” Aiden said hurriedly.

“We were strangers too when we met. You guys learned to trust me.... It will take time but I hope you guys can be a little bit more accepting to the people in our lives. Especially duke. He was so saddened that you guys won’t let him carry you both,”

Ethan looked appalled by her words. “Why would we let him carry us? We are not babies,”

“yeah, I don’t think I like that idea too. We have legs. We can walk,” Aiden chimed in with him.

Feng sighed. ‘Convincing them is going to be hard....’

“Look, both of you. You have legs... but they are short as heck. Walking long distances can put a strain to your body. that’s why duke wants to carry you guys....”

Aiden gasped out loud. “t-take that back! We are not short! We... we are tall for our age!”

“that’s not the point!”

Ethan pouted. “You secretly think we are shirt....”

“Oh no, I don’t think that. I’m just stating a fact....”

“So, you think we are both so shirt...” Aiden said with a sigh.

the situation was going out of control.

“You guys are not short!! You both are just Six years old but you are already taller than me! In fact, I’m the one who is short!”

As soon as she said this Aiden gave a victorious smile. “that’s why you must be carried Feng. Your legs are short. You will get exhausted when you walk long. As for us, we are boys. We are taller than you we won’t need to be carried around,”

For the first time Feng felt a sense of defeat. She couldn’t refute his words as she was the one who quoted them just seconds ago.

“You.... You guys are mean.....”

Aiden chuckled and hugged her softly.

Feng was stunned. Aiden was at least a head taller than her, so her head was on his chest. She could hear his steady heartbeat loudly echoing in her ears. “don’t be sad. We will carry you around like a princess from now on.”

“I never asked that!”

“But you have short legs. You will get tired.”

.....

Feng gaped ta him.

Even Ethan aged to his preposterous plan. “Feng feels like we are mean to her. Then we must treat her even more special. Aiden you carry her on even days. I’ll carry her on odd days.”

“Deal,”

“don’t I have a say in this?” Feng glanced at them both.

The twin boys chuckled. “You just have to be pampered. After all, you are smaller than us.”

feng regretted saying those words so much.
