A dog-loving villainess wants to return to her territory! - Chapter 0
As the golden curls swayed,
The girl with the big hat, trembling, stood before the kids.
The kids paused their chase, gazing at the trembling girl.
“W-well… can you let me play too?”
Mustering her courage, the girl removed her hat.
A gust of wind blew by, rustling the manicured flowers and billowing her golden hair.
───Somewhere, a scream suddenly resounded.
The girl ran, her tears drenching the ground.
Arriving at an empty space, she crouched, silently weeping,
The hat was pressed tightly to her head, as though to hide from everyone,
As though she was afraid to be hurt again.
Her memories ended there.
A girl ran lightly, her chestnut hair puffed up by the wind, catching the corner of her eye as she looked back.
The young ladies on their way to the after-school salon frowned as they watched her back. The girl dashed into the courtyard and ran happily towards a young man. As he turned, his eyes widened in surprise. Then he flashed a gentle smile and spoke to the girl.
Her cheeks flushed, the girl expressed something to the young man with exaggerated gestures, oblivious to the contempt in their eyes.
In the tense atmosphere, the girl with golden hair, standing out among the young ladies, suddenly opened her mouth.
“─── Like a dog, isn’t she?”
Her eyes, as red as fresh blood, gazed coldly at the girl.
The beautiful girl covered her face, which was as white as porcelain, with an elegant fan and whispered with a distorted smile.
Immediately, the surroundings buzzed with chatter.
“My, Lady Isabella”
“Such a vulgar little dog”
Their mockery spread like ripples. The girls’ irrepressible laughter shook the air.
“A bad dog needs to be trained, don’t you agree, Lady Isabella?”
As if piling on, a girl said in a fawning voice.
The upturned red eyes looked back at the source of the voice.
Beaming with delight at having attracted isabella’s attension, the girl returned a flirting subservient gaze.
Isabella’s gaze, fixed on her, seemed to penetrate her very core.
“…Lady Isabella?”
The laughter had subsided, and in the painful silence that replaced it, the girl who was being watched grew perplexed. She looked around in confusion.
Sweat trickled down her skin, a slight fear gripping her. Suddenly, those red eyes narrowed abruptly.
“Indeed.”
She uttered the word softly.
The girl averted her eyes from Isabella’s gaze.
“Then I shall go and discipline her.”
Her tone was pleasureful, contrasting with the content of her words.
Her soft golden waves danced as the hem of her uniform fluttered.
Her back gracefully straightened, Isabella disappeared into the courtyard.
The girls murmured in hushed tones. As expected of Lady Isabella. They slowly followed after her.
─── One should not try to gain favor by making rash remarks.
Because in this academy, once glared at by that person, your entire family would be unable to survive.
The girl who had spoken rashly exhaled softly, still feeling uneasy even though she had already been released from the ominous red eyes.
