I Was Rejected by the Main Character in a Romantic Fantasy Chapter 26

Leonhardt disappeared.

Many students began to watch their words while feeling strange that he had completely vanished from the academy.

Seeing even the professors not daring to speak carelessly, they also realized that the influence of so high-ranking person had blown into the academy.

Well, since I roughly knew the whole story, I didn’t care too much.

As one of the male leads of the original novel exited the stage, knowledge of its content beca useless.

From the beginning, I didn’t blindly believe in the content of the original novel. Still, it ant the story would flow in a way I didn’t know.

But that ans…

“…Nice to et you. I can call you Felix, right?”

“…”

I didn’t expect it to flow this way.

Looking at the girl smiling at in front of my eyes, I held back a deep sigh. No matter what, sighing in front of soone you’re eting for the first ti wasn’t a good choice.

“Hello.”

When I greeted her, the girl smiled brightly and stared at intently.

Only then could I also look at her properly. Her glossy brown hair was cutely tied in twin tails, and her sparkling purple eyes looked at clearly.

She was about one head shorter than , around the early 160cm range. The smile on her cute face with white skin looked as if saying, “I’m harmless.”

It was a cute impression that would make any man fall for her just by looking.

Unfortunately, I already knew her true identity.

“I’m Pala Jean Degrosis. Nice to et you, Felix!”

Friendliness that allows her to approach strangers without hesitation.

A pure smile constantly on her face.

Furthermore, this cute and beautiful appearance supported all of those.

I knew they were all an “act.”

“So you were the daughter of Earl Degrosis. Nice to et you for the first ti. I’m Felix von Astria, the second son of Earl Astria.”

Why did she approach ? Because Leonhardt deviated from the original? Or is it because Cain hasn’t returned to the academy yet?

…No.

No matter how twisted the original was, there was only one reason for her to approach .

‘Because I’m by Sylvia’s side.’

Pala Jean Degrosis.

With her harmless and puppy-like impression.

“Hehe…!”

In a romance fantasy, it is a very common character trope.

In the original novel, after bullying Sylvia from behind and getting caught by the male leads, she ends up being expelled from the academy.

The villainess.

@

In the original novel, Sylvia is isolated by those around her.

Just because a commoner had the “second son of a duke family,” the “third prince,” and even the “next hero” by her side. Three untouchable people hovering around a nobody.

Sylvia was isolated by the surrounding people but didn’t back down. Instead, she proved her abilities and supported the male leads, eventually achieving love with them.

Pala tries to use her harmless and cute impression to drive a wedge between the male leads and Sylvia, even trying to drive her out of the academy.

Of course, in the end, she can also be called a pitiful role, which only strengthens the bond between the male leads and Sylvia before exiting.

“Where are you heading?”

She seed to be trying to drive a wedge between Sylvia and .

I don’t know why Pala approached earlier than in the original.

Since neither Cain nor the next hero is at the academy, she seems to have approached .

I stared at her and quietly opened my mouth to answer her words.

“I was on my way to the training ground.”

“Aha, you train very hard, Felix.”

“…I guess so.”

A training maniac who isn’t swayed even by the bright smile of a beautiful woman. At the sa ti, he pays perfect courtesy to a stranger he’s eting for the first ti.

Pala, whose inside and outside are completely different, probably thought this about .

“What a boring person…”

At my murmur, Pala trembled for a very brief mont. An ordinary person wouldn’t have noticed this change, but since I was watching her reaction carefully, I saw.

“W-Was I that boring…? I’m sorry…”

Even her instantly depressed expression after noticing my gaze was perfect. I drew a small smile at Pala’s appearance and took a step closer to her.

Actually, since I didn’t even think she would approach , I hadn’t prepared for her.

But I was a reader outside the novel who knew her very well.

“You didn’t think that way just now, did you?”

When I whispered softly in her ear, Pala trembled and looked at with watery eyes.

“…Wh-What are you talking about?”

“Your acting skills are very poor. Miss Pala.”

There was a way to pretend not to know and use Pala, and there was a way to detach her from Sylvia’s side completely. If not, there was also a way to turn her plan upside down and drive her out of the academy.

At my words, with a hint of laughter, Pala’s expression didn’t change, but I could see her purple eyes slightly wavering.

I smiled at that sight and slightly tilted my head.

“Emotions are revealed in the eyes.”

But I threw away all those easy paths and acted like this for one reason.

Even villainesses have a story.

“Follow .”

I broke her poker face at my tone that sounded certain and my appearance that moved without lingering on her.

Sohow, feeling happy about that, I couldn’t hide my smile. I walked with Pala to the secluded place in the academy where I had pressured Veren.

Pala, who had kept her mouth shut until we arrived, realized no one was around and opened her mouth bluntly.

“What are you thinking of doing by bringing all the way here?”

“Have you decided to drop the act?”

I smiled, noticing her speaking roughly as if she had discarded the gentle tone from before.

When I turned around, Pala looked at with her arms and legs crossed, her puppy-like gesture nowhere to be seen.

“What a nuisance.”

“It seems you’ve also dropped the formalities.”

“…If you’re annoyed, you do it too.”

It might be startling for those who don’t know, but this was Pala’s true self.

She always wore a mask that she thought was perfect. I shrugged and looked at her.

“Sure, why not.”

“Ha…!”

When I casually followed Pala’s speech, she let out a hollow laugh while looking at .

She seed displeased about sothing and shook her head.

“This is why rumors aren’t reliable.”

“What are the rumors about like?”

What rumors could there be about ?

I wasn’t very famous at the academy because I’m an extra whose na isn’t even ntioned in the original novel.

When I asked Pala with a tilt of my head, she answered my question kindly, though she did look at disgustedly.

“I heard you were a gentlemanly person.”

In a clearly sarcastic tone, even using honorifics to mock , but since Pala had a cute face, it didn’t really get on my nerves.

If it were Leonhardt, I would have been annoyed long ago.

“Now that you see in person, is it different from the rumors?”

Seemingly displeased that I answered her sarcasm calmly, she wrinkled her puppy-like impression and twitched her nose.

“Completely different.”

“Really? I’m a very gentlemanly person. Maybe you just don’t know well.”

“I have no desire to know you well.”

Pretending to be calm and conversing with , Pala’s mind must be in complete chaos.

Not only was her acting, which she thought was perfect, exposed, but I was also nonchalantly cracking jokes.

In fact, no one, at least within this academy, had noticed Pala’s acting.

It wasn’t that she was bad at acting. I just knew her personality.

Who would’ve guessed her angelic face kept a dagger hidden behind?

I pretended not to know anything and shrugged, asking her.

“So, what did you want to say to ?”

I looked at her purple eyes, wondering about her purpose in approaching . She answered my question with a twitch of her eyebrow and a voice full of annoyance.

“You think I’ll tell you that?”

I couldn’t help but burst into laughter at Pala’s rough way of speaking.

She glared at with an even more wrinkled face. Even so, it wasn’t scary at all.

“It’s because of Sylvia, right?”

At my question, Pala’s face turns pale white.

Actually, I did not intend to approach the original novel’s characters first.

However, the Pala in front of my eyes was an exception. If she tried to bully Sylvia, I intended to stop it.

Not for Sylvia’s sake but for hers.

For the sake of the villainess with a pitiful end.
