I Swear I Won't Bother You Again!

Chapter 41

Chapter 41

As time went on, the bustling lunchtime gradually spelt its end. The bell hadnt ring yet, but many people had finished their meal. Some of them already left the cafeteria, leaving only some other students having a friendly chat after lunch. Today, Violette fell into the first category.

If Violette was having lunch only with Yulan, they would be a little more relaxed with the time. Even so, she didnt really know what to say with the members who shared the same table with her. Plus, the atmosphere was awkward.

Yulan finished his lunch first. Noticing that, Violette drank up her tea without any delay.

Yulan waited for Violette to put the empty cup on the table before tilting his head and asked, Vio-chan, youre done?

Violette nodded. Yes. Just like you said, the dessert was delicious.

Then Im glad. Okay. Lets go.

Eh?

Violette thought that Yulan wanted to hear her impression towards the dessert he recommended, but his content expression instantly changed. Yulan lifted his fingers and offered them to Violette like an escort, helping her stand up.

Unable to understand Yulans thought, Violette was flabbergasted. Even so, Yulan deepened his smile and moved his gaze to Gia who was still eating.

Gia, Ill leave first.

Hmm.

Dont be late.

Gias bulging cheeks made him look like a squirrel. There were two mountains of bread at the beginning, but now there was only one left. Not to say, the size was getting smaller. As Violette recalled the remaining time, she felt like Gia would finish just barely in time. Suddenly, she forgot about how Yulan was pulling her hand. Worry filled her mind, making her wonder if Gia would be alright.

But seeing how Yulan warned Gia merely for the sake of it, he must be familiar with this scene. After all, the prince didnt look like he was rushing for the time. Violette couldnt decide whether Yulan thought Gia would be okay since he was always in time or because he gave up warning his friend because Gia was already beyond repair.

Her hands were pulled by Yulans fingers, reminding her that Yulan was holding her hand.

Then, well leave first.

Yulan, wait umm, please excuse us

Its her fault for choosing that seat even after knowing that Claudia was in the canteen. She knew that Yulan was kind enough to split her from Claudia. Otherwise, Yulan wouldnt approach them. He most probably would either skillfully avoid Claudia or get through him. Its impossible that he didnt have the experience and skill to do so.

Currently, Violette was very aware of the danger of where she was standing. She was also sure that she understood Yulans anxiety. And its all linked to her. She knew the best that wrong actions could lead to distrust even if it wasnt a crime. Just because her one-year crime had completely disappeared, what Violette should reflect on wasnt just on her crime.

She didnt want to let bygones be bygones. It would be too easy for her. She didnt want to personally attack Claudia as well, stirring up his distrust even more. All of this was something Violette must bear on her back, and she should compensate for it without anyone knowing.

Dont look like that. If you want to reflect on your actions, you shouldnt do it for me, but for Claudia-sama, right?

I dont regret what I did to him at all.

Even if you do, you dont have to say it.

Violette sighed. She didnt have any intention to question about Claudia and Yulans compatibility, but their cold war hadnt calmed down over the years. Rather, there were times when she wondered whether their relationship had worsened or not.

She didnt want to force them to get along with each other, considering how it wasnt something that could be established with force. Still, she also felt a little strange that Yulan, who basically preferred not to fight, showed his hostility towards the prince so clearly like that.

Was there something between them more than she knew?

.......

Whats wrong?

...No, its nothing.

Violette wanted to ask, but she knew Yulan wouldnt be honest. He was frank, but from her experiences, he would turn obstinate when Claudia was concerned.

And above all, what could she do even after knowing about it?

Just dont do anything rash, okay?

...Thanks.

Yulan squinted and looked happy, but he never nodded.
