The Arrogant Heroine Was Too Overbearing, So I Immediately Switched Sides to Become the Traitor-Chapter 32 - Where Did You Go? You Didn’t Come Home All Day?!

Of course, Alexia’s sudden visit to Evan’s room wasn’t solely because he hadn’t attended class today.

Certainly. That was part of the reason.

But the main reason was that early this morning, when Alexia habitually went to the academy’s church to begin her daily routine, which was fixed and unchanging.

That is, in the morning, she would go to the Seven Orthodox Gods Church, praying to the gods while learning from the purple-clad bishop in the church how to use the magic of the seven orthodox gods worshiped by the Empire.

After the midday break.

For the first two hours of the afternoon, she would undergo physical training related to swordsmanship, horse riding, combat, long-distance running, and so on.

For the latter two hours, she would conduct research on a topic—currently, Alexia was working on a topic concerning the “History of the Development of Imperial Heraldic Families.” This topic allowed the woman to understand the history of the development and changes in fortunes of the various noble families in the United Empire over the past few hundred years.

After dinner in the evening, most of her time was spent attending banquets. Or reading and resting at home for a while.

Alexia’s day was usually this fulfilling.

However, today seemed a bit different. Because Alexia discovered that since she left in the morning, her maid Seline had been constantly coming to her, saying that young ladies from other families “wanted to talk to her.”

These young ladies from noble families. They were from almost all races, including major noble families of the United Empire, as well as many families whose fortunes had declined but were once quite prominent. And, major nobles from other kingdoms of the demonkin, elves, dwarves, beastkin, and so on—with the exception of the vampires. Alexia found this a bit strange but didn’t think about it deeply.

These noble women mostly had no engagements, or had older sisters or younger sisters whose engagements hadn’t been set yet. The first thing they said upon seeing her was.

“Miss Alexia, I heard that your Brian family has a very outstanding young man named Evan?”

At this point.

Alexia understood everything. The woman, who had long been active in noble social circles, immediately grasped that these individuals had come to ask her to “propose marriage” for Evan.

Heh. She had actually expected this point long ago. Evan had gotten first place in the academy’s midterm practice test earlier. And he had used the Brian family name.

Some individuals with keen noses would naturally associate this with Evan possibly being an inconspicuous collateral descendant of the Brian family. Thus, if they could marry him while he himself was very outstanding, it would not only be a marriage alliance with the Brian family, but their own family could also gain a quite excellent young talent.

It was simply killing two birds with one stone. Alexia even thought, based on her understanding of these noble women.

These women. They had a high probability of having already proactively sought out Evan. They must have thought that an ordinary young man, suddenly getting the attention of a major noble woman like herself, would quickly fall for it. Some extreme individuals might even think of cooking the rice to make the meal, getting on the train first and then buying the ticket, so that not marrying would be impossible.

And how could a young man, under the initiative of such women, manage to stick to his bottom line?

As a result.

They probably got the cold shoulder from Evan.

Heh. Alexia sneered inwardly, because she knew that Evan was almost completely uninterested in any woman, and it had been like that since he was little. freёnovelkiss.com

And at this moment, facing the olive branches extended by other noble women. Alexia also explicitly refused. And to prevent them from bothering her again in the future, or even using some malicious means in private.

Alexia also directly told them that Evan was her fiancé, so they didn’t need to consider anything else.

“Huh?”

Seeing all the women display confused expressions. Alexia didn’t feel much, because, although she had claimed to have a fiancé publicly before, she had never revealed who he was, only intending for Evan to be a nominal title to reject other suitors. And, to prevent her father and mother from arranging a marriage for her.

But what Alexia didn’t understand was.

After knowing that Evan was her fiancé, most women looked at her with an expression that was hard to describe, seemingly wanting to say something but stopping themselves. And in their eyes, there was a kind of complicated look, mixed with sympathy, mockery, and... suppressing laughter?

Among them, some even mentioned that last night Evan attended a banquet hosted by a young lady from a major noble family named “Sylvie” from the Eternal Night Kingdom. They only hinted at this. These women then left in a hurry.

Alexia was extremely puzzled, thinking what was wrong with Evan attending a noble banquet yesterday? Did they need to remind her so deliberately? Alexia even felt a little relieved, because Evan used to never attend banquets and didn’t understand how to socialize as a noble.

How could that be?!

Now that he was proactively attending other people’s banquets, Alexia only felt relieved. Moreover, she had heard of this vampire girl named “Sylvie.” Her family was a major noble family in the Eternal Night Kingdom that virtually controlled all the livestock business in the entire kingdom, and were extremely influential grain merchants. Being invited by the other party to participate in a banquet in itself also proved Evan’s own capabilities.

Thinking of this. Alexia felt even more relieved.

And she was extremely wise in her decision to strictly require Evan to get first place in the midterm and final exams of the entire school!!

Under her command. The young man stood out, finally gaining recognition from the major nobles and entering the upper class circle. Excellent, simply excellent!!

Alexia immediately decided to send Evan a message, wanting to remind him what kind of behavior was appropriate when socializing with nobles.

As a result, after sending a long message, she did not get any reply from Evan at all.

Alexia looked at the chat window with Evan on her phone. Now it had all become her unilaterally sending him messages, and he seemed to be completely “read but not replied,” or perhaps not even read at all?

For a moment. She felt resentful for some reason. She immediately told her maid Seline to go check on Evan’s situation to see what he was doing!

As a result, shortly after Seline left, her reply was.

Evan hadn’t even attended class today, but had taken a leave of absence?! And when she asked for the reason for his leave, it turned out to be that he was drunk and unwell.

Heh.

Alexia instantly imagined Evan, who was attending a banquet for the first time, getting drunk at the event, suffering from a terrible hangover afterward, and thinking that it was okay to take a day off since he got first place in the exam, and thus resting at home now.

How could he be so lax?! The woman was angry. She believed that Evan was now somewhat arrogant, and she had to “remind” him properly. To make him understand that no matter what, as her knight, he could not relax!!

But Alexia had absolutely not expected.

When she arrived at Evan’s dormitory after dinner.

She discovered.

This guy wasn’t in the dorm? And, it seemed, he hadn’t come back all night, and had been gone all day?

“Where did you go? You didn’t come home all day?!”

Alexia was now sitting by the bed, angrily questioning her knight and fiancé.

And Evan...
