79. Vision.
While Marin was throwing unreachable curses at Marijune, she was still at school. She was the complete opposite of Violette, who tended to go straight ho after the school was finished. But today, it seed that both the sisters have made a different choice. They were supposed to be at least half similar of the sa genes, but they werent alike in any way.
Yulan who was standing opposite her, however, thought with a sideways glance at her smiling face that even if they were alike, the day would never co when he would think of Marijune rather than Violette.
Yulan-kun, you and sister have always been close, right?
Yes, not just us, though most of the students in this academy have known each other for a long ti.
The scene of Marijune and Yulan, standing together and conversing, one was exuding cheerfulness and the other was smiling gently was like a beautiful painting of a prince and princess to the people around them. At least, thats what many of the students who attended this school saw in their imagination.
But if Ger or Claudia were present, they would have noticed that the smile on Yulans face was a mask that didnt reflect any emotion.
His voice was calm and gentle. His appearance that was standing together with Marijune was so perfect that it wouldnt be right to say he was dissatisfied with sothing or soone. Everyone could tell that he was smiling, but it wasnt obvious to everyone that it didnt reach his eyes.
The real Yulan is not a calm person. Even Gia*, who was considered by those around him to be his best friend, had rarely seen Yulan smile. What lied beneath the layers of skin was a heartless, rciless, cold-blooded man who could make even the devil cry.
[T/N: Im confused guys. What was the na of his friend? Ger or Gia? I forgot. I even forgot which chapter did author ntioned his na. If anything knows, please comnt.]
And the only person in the world to whom such a man would smile with happiness from the bottom of his heart is- Violette. Yulans expression right now was no different from looking at a bag of trash. No matter how soft and gentle the expression may be, no matter how perfect and flawless it may look, if soone look inside, they could see there was not a shred of emotion in his heart for Marijune.
It was just like a layer of paint on top of a mask, a face appropriate to the occasion.
I wonder if theres hardly anyone from the high school who is new like .
I dont think so. I guess its rare for nobles not to know each other.
I knew it.
Yulan was not interested in the woman who often changed her expression and the tone of voice from one mont to the next.
Yes, he can understand why people sympathize with her, she was just a normal girl who didnt know anything about the world but suddenly beca a noble lady one day. It was not a mistake to think Marijune as a victim, who was thrust into the world of aristocrats for reasons unknown to her parents.
But sadly, Yulan was not one of them who thought like that.
( What a waste of ti.)
He was not heartbroken or even a little bit sad to see her depressed, but rather he wanted to stick his tongue out mischievously or sneer at her frustration for forcing him into a pointless conversation.
It was the innocent, ignorant side of Marijune that anger him more. She may be bright and lovely, but that was why she was the type of person who lacks brain in all matters.
This type of person seems to have a broad perspective but they doesnt want to think things through. They value benevolence as good, majority rule as equality, and the correction of heresy to diocrity as righteousness.
They do not pay attention to the fact that there are those who have been rejected, and laughed at the idea that the world can beco round. They surely dont even notice the shaved corners. They assu that if their vision is beautiful, the world is beautiful at the sa ti. They dont even think about how dangerous and irresponsible their thinking is for the people around them. Their eyes are always covered with a rose tinted glass.
No matter how much you reach out, you cant hug your back from the front.
If a soone wants to pretend that they are unaware of sothing or that they dont want to care about it, it wouldnt matter how hard Yulan tries to look into their eyes. No matter how much Yulan imagined, assud, or hypothesized, he would not be able to help Marijune realise that she didnt herself want to know or realize.
Im sorry , but isnt it ti for us to go? I left so stuff in the classroom and I need to get back.
Oh, I didnt know that. ! Sorry, and thanks.
No, Its okay.
If they didnt have anything to talk about, they were just wasting their ti. Marijune and Yulan were just too incompatible to begin with, even though they were considered classmates, but their personalities were hopelessly incompatible.
A cute voice chased after Yulan, who was about to turn away without a word of greeting, lifting his hips that were resting on the window sill.
I was so happy to talk to you! Can I talk to you again?
Im in a different class from you, and I dont think wed get along better because we dont each other much, dont you think? Yulan, who wanted to just get away from her held the urge to sigh in frustration and said to her.
No, I dont think so! Since weve t like this, Id like to talk to you a lot and get to know you better.
I see.
Yes. Nice to et you, Yulan.
Yulan was surprised yes, it was surprising. He was more like astonished. It was so unexpected, that he had not been prepared for it or had thought of a single possibility of it.
He was shocked.
The laugh that could not be held down anymore overflowed through the gap between the fingers that held his mouth.
Because, because, because that woman was just too funny.
Im ah, thats funny.
Yulans face was contorted with both amusent and displeasure after he finished laughing for a mont.
He knew the girl was foolish. To Yulan, a person who was only pure and honest was nothing but a fool. He had always looked down on her and thought she was just soone he would one day trample underfoot.
But apparently, she was much duller than Yulan had thought.
( get along, heh)
Such a day will never co. The day will never co when Marijunes value in Yulans mind will be greater than it is now, and he was sure that she will ever understand how Yulans world ca to be. There was no way that a philanthropic girl could understand the thoughts of a man who was willing to destroy anything for the sake of Violette. Marijune was already on the side of the one he wanted to destroy.
He couldnt help but wonder if the day will co when the foolish girl would realize that.
He was sure she wouldnt. She would continue to believe he was her friend, until the day Yulan turns his fangs on her. She would only believe that day when the kind world she was seeing was falling into everyones hands. Without knowing the backstage of the world, she was unaware of the narrowness of her vision, she recognizes only the pure, correct, and beautiful things. She laughs without knowing the border between dreams and reality.
In fact, Yulan was right, Marijune didnt realize it until the very end.
From the first ti they talked to each other until the ti of their goodbye, Yulan never once tried to gave any attention to Marijune.
