Chapter Eleven - My New Life As A Demon Villainess

After what happened, for a week now I've been starting my private lessons. Father even searched for the best teacher there is in the kingdom, I've been telling him not to but being the person he is, he insisted and said, "Only the best for my sweetheart".

I didn't expect him to be such a doting father but knowing he was also spoiling jazaila back in the novel, I guess I can understand why he is like this to me.

Just after the first meeting with the male lead, father discovered that the crown prince was discussing to me about politics.

And you could've seen his face as he looked at me, it was as if he was seeing a miracle genius baby standing in front of him.

I was surprised he knows about the prince talking to me about politics, but maybe he heard it from the maids who were with us at that time.

And now, he decided to have me under early education, the reason was also so that I can have more knowledge about politics, you know to talk more to the prince but it somehow helped me in speaking well.

The king was unexpectedly delighted to hear everything. And was very excited to send his son here to visit me.

Those two... really are partners in crime.

I'm sorry to the both of you but I have no plan to deepen my relationship with the crown prince, Unless I want to die then I will proceed with that idea.

Right, I must be careful of my actions to the prince.

Since he is the path to my death, I don't want to do anything with him besides just being acquaintances or friends.

And in my situation now...

Slowly, I placed my brush on the table as I placed my palm on the piece of paper in front of me. Raising my head, I glanced at the person in front of me who's elegantly drinking his tea as he slowly puts his cup back on the table.

Noticing my stare, he looked up as our eyes met. He smiled politely as he took a paper from the table.

Raising my eyebrows in confusion when he held the paper to me.

"Pardon?"

"Your suggestion lady jazaila was certainly helpful, I've told the board of noble council and they quickly accepted my help, father also reflected in his actions, I'm thankful for your help"

That's great! At least that problem has been solved.

"A-Ah, I'm honored, your highness"

I stuttered as I bowed my head a little to him, he smiled back at me politely.

"So... may I ask what this is, your highness?"

Asking him about the paper he held to me, I held it as I looked over the paper.

"As I've told you the last time we met, I wanted to talk to you about politics and written in that paper are the currently unsolved problem of the kingdom I wished to hear your opinions about this lady jazaila"

Woah, this is such a hard task given for a child.

I mean I just know about that problem since I read the novel, but he knows he's giving this to a 5-year-old, right?

Since he's the crown prince I have no right to decline his offer.

Knowing I have no choice, I just sighed.

...

It's been a month and let me just say... My mind can't take it anymore!

Besides my private lessons, the crown prince has been visiting me in the mansion, like every weekend.

And as usual, we kept on talking about politics, for Pete's sake! Your highness, even though I may have further knowledge about the problems in your kingdom, I'm still a child!

And there's still more for me to know about this kingdom.

But thanks to my private lessons, I've been improving my speech/ or the way I talk.

Well, now I've been stressed about this recent problem.

Elegantly sitting on his chair in front of me, while gracefully drinking his cup of tea, I squinted my eyes to the sudden glow of his 'male lead' aura behind. I just wished that aura will be similar to the owner, since... he's so boring!

Talking about politics all the time... he wanted to be friends with me, right? Then please not be boring!

How will I make him be interested to talk about something else besides politics? That's my current problem.

"Your highness, would you like to take a walk in the market?"

Surprised by my question, he looked at me with widened eyes.

What...? is he not allowed?

"Ah- I'm sorry for the sudden offer your highness you must be not intereste-"

"I... want to"

Huh?

Glancing at the maids not just far from us, he averted his gaze at the floor... suddenly looking down.

"But father won't allow me to, and surely he'll send some maids with us, exposing me to the people as the crown prince, I don't want to do such nuisance"

So that's why...

...Ah-! I know.

"Then... I have an Idea, your highness"

Looking at him, I didn't notice that I was chuckling suspiciously that made him flinched as he dubiously stared at me.

...

Like what the duke and duchess said, I truly am a genius!

Hah.

Clasping my hands as I placed them at my lips, I proudly stare at my creation.

Wearing a beautiful pink dress, as a golden necklace entangled in his neck glowing to anyone who dares to put their eyes on it, the elegant heeled red shoes and lastly long blonde hair... wig I meant.

I couldn't believe my eyes... Goodness, how handsome is this crown prince that he even looked pretty even in a girl's clothes.

He looked so gorgeous with that long wig with him.

Since a while ago I was holding my laugh when he just went out of the clothing room but was quickly replaced by mesmerization when I saw how that costume suits him.

I chuckled as I saw the crown prince looked bored, but I can see his ears and cheeks reddened in embarrassment.

"Lady Jazaila, what joke is this?"

With that cold and deep voice, you can clearly see the difference between him and his attire.

He sounds irritated but I have no other choice, your highness since I'm helping you.

"What joke, your highness? This is my idea since you said that you wanted to take a walk to the market, right?"

"Yeah, I indeed said that but not in this ridiculous attire"

"It is not ridiculous, to be honest, you look gorgeous, your highness"

I flinched when he started glaring at me, I just smiled nervously at him.

"This is the only way, your highness... you'll be disguised as a noble young lady roaming around the market I assure you, your highness they'll never notice that you're the crown prince in that disguise"

"Then... how about the maids?"

"Haha, I have another plan for that"

I proudly exclaimed as I walked to the door and slightly opened it, I searched for maids and the mansion's workers.

But as I expected there are no signs of them.

In this time of the day, most of the workers and maids are on duties not concerning their masters.

And a while ago I did my special attack (which was being cute) on the palace's maids who were with the crown prince and begged them to go to some places that are far from the market and ordered them.

As expected of me when it comes to these situations.

Once I glanced at the prince, I waved to him to follow my lead, in a doubtful expression he just sighs as he walked behind me.

"Trust me, your highness I know what I'm doing"

I sounded proud and confident as I glanced at him behind.

"(*sigh) I just wished what you're saying is true"

He doesn't need to sound untrustful of me.

...

Loud clatters and footsteps can be heard in the area, as many strangers walked in the wide, cheerful, and lively market.

I turned around to face this pretty blonde lady behind me.

"I told you, your highness It all worked out, right?"

I smiled with pride as I raised my chin waiting for his compliment.

"You should change the way you address me I don't want the people to know I'm the crown prince, okay?"

I rolled my eyes in disappointment as I pouted.

I didn't even get a compliment.

Well, that's expected... there's no way the crown prince will compliment someone besides his father.

"..."

My lips slowly and slightly rose when I thought of a name.

"Then... how about nichole? Your highness"

His name is Nicholas that's why I thought to just shorten his name and added a little to make it a girl's name... nichole. Genius, aren't I?

I looked at him, anticipating his reply.

"Fine"

Yes! Finally, my first girl... friend!

Well, not quite since he's a boy, to begin with, and knowing the crown prince he'll kill me if I mentioned he's my girl... friend in front of him.

"So, nichole..."

I smirked at him. Once again, I flinched when he glared at me again with his usual bloodlust eyes.

"L-let's go?"

He just ignored me while walking ahead. Roaming around the market I rolled my eyes in frustration, glaring at nichole's gorgeous back.

I know we clearly stated our priority which is not making the people believe that nichole was the crown prince, Nicholas.

But seeing all these stares from the people around us, not at me but nichole.

Their stares are not the look of doubt, but it's a look of admiration.

They were all gaping at nichole's beauty.

Following, behind him I feel like a mere maid of his, and he who's in front surprisingly got all the light.

This is so unfair, it's Nicholas' fault for being pretty even if he'll turn into a girl.

"Is it strange, lady jazaila? I think they're staring at you"

I don't know what he's thinking but, I think he's pretty dense not noticing those stares were clearly at him.

I've been following him behind, our whole walk around the market. But I'm happy to see him enjoying his time here.

At least, he's satisfied with my plan... well not quite.

Standing in front of this wooden bulletin board posted on a stand, I read the articles posted.

Of all the articles there, one caught my attention. It's the problem that was solved recently, about the lack of food supply.

It's pasted there how the board of noble council collaborated with the king, and when I read it to the bottom, I saw a note.

'The crown prince announced the idea of a way to solve the problem with his brilliant idea the problem the kingdom recently faced was solved with the help of many'

My eyes widened when I read what the note stated. They mentioned the crown prince's effort. This is a great thing!

"Look, Nichole your name is there, and you're being complimented-"

I stopped in my words when I glanced at him whom I saw was staring at afar.

Hm? Why is he suddenly looking serious? He isn't even listening to me.

"What is it?"

I asked as I turned around and squinted my eyes to look at the one he's looking at.

Even now he's still not moving an inch, what is he looking at that made him like tha-?

"..."

Is that...

With wide eyes, I was speechless as I looked back at the crown prince who's still frozen in his place as I looked back at what I was looking at.

This can't be...

I-I swear! this event didn't happen in the novel.

What...?

What is the female lead doing here?!
