Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant

The second prince just destroyed the bracelets and attacked the first prince!

How could that NOT be a big deal?!

""...""

Karestas and Yarvestreg were probably the most shocked but also the ones to act the fastest – at least after Zoemi.

*WHAM*

*CRACK*

Without any hesitation, they slammed the second prince to the ground so hard that he broke his nose on the stone floor.

""How dare you attack the prince! How did you destroy the bracelets!?""

Even when they were agitated they still talked in perfect sync.

"I don\'t know! I DON\'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!"

Surou was wailing in pain, the blood was gushing from his nose and the knights were twisting his arms so hard that they were about to snap right off.

"LET GO OF ME! LET GO OF ME! I AM A PRINCE TOO!"

Surou wailed like a dying animal giving a really bad image to the royalty he was claiming to be...

"WA-WATER BUBBLE!"

"MY PRINCE – NO! STOP!"

The blue-haired boy seemed to lost his mind and used the worst possible spell to protect himself - despite the blond heroine crying out in a warning and throwing herself at the gold knights in a futile attempt to save her lover...

"...Didn\'t I tell you to NOT TOUCH HIM?!"

...unfortunately, the knight she grabbed first was once again lord Karestas – which sprouted lady Yarvestreg\'s anger...

*WHOOSH*

*SLAM*

*plop*

The next moment Burushiitto flew through the entrance hall and hit the opposite wall – instantly losing consciousness and ending up slumping on the floor with a pitiful sound unable to even gasp in shock.

...as if that was not enough, something even more miserable happened...

The water bubble that the second prince created was obviously dependent on the user\'s mana, it blocked as much magic damage as much mana the caster had...

...and the two king\'s guards were using light enchantments which meant that their touch counted as magic damage...

"NOOOO! NOOOOOO! LET ME GO! LET ME GOOO!"

...and the blue-haired second prince had merely the average amount of mana at his disposal to begin with...

Yes...

"UWEEEEEEH UGNUEEEEH! LET GO! LET GO! LET GO!"

Surou\'s mana evaporated instantly and the effects of the mana drain hit him like a truck.

Hard.

"UGHUEEEEEEH! STOP! LET GO! STOP! BUHUEEEEEE...!"

The blue-haired boy started crying like a toddler and his head slammed against the floor on its own causing him to cry even more.

"It hurts! Mommy! It hurts! Bluegeeughughughugh...!"

"..."

He cried out and suddenly started vomiting – but the knights holding him down didn\'t even flinch.

"Pathetic."

Horeo scoffed shaking his head in disbelief over his younger brother.

"...Zoemi – don\'t even think about going to help either of them..."

Meanwhile, Mireitte clinging onto the still armored-up Zoemi murmured, tightening her enchantment-augmented grip even though she felt an odd sensation of her mana being forcefully drained by something else besides her own spells...

"...Sir Karestas, lady Yarvestreg..."

"..."

Zoemi looked back at the dark-haired girl but he felt that even despite all that happened it wasn\'t okay to shame Surou that much – not when the punishment that was already decided for him was basically a public social execution and crossing him off the succession line.

"...he is right, isn\'t he..."

"...yes, yes... do you think that I will get in trouble for knocking out that girl...?"

The two knights muttered consulted themselves in hushed voices before nodding at each other and standing up.

The blue-haired second prince seemed to have lost consciousness as the result of either mana depletion or serious mental trauma – or both – which meant that he was essentially harmless at the moment, so Karestas and Yarvestreg raised him up like a toy, and Surou\'s legs dangled in the air as his head dropped onto his chest, dripping with tears, snot, and vomit.

""My prince, we must change our plans, we will teleport with him right away, the ancient artifact has been destroyed and we need to report it so that the investigation could commence as soon as possible!""

"No – wait a bit more."

They declared but Horeo raised his hand and shook his head, stopping them from using the teleportation spell.

"Zoemi! What – how did you do this? What is this spell?!"

Miriette didn\'t completely lose interest in the pitiful second prince and instead focused on the shadow armor-clad attendant of hers while stopping her enchantments and stepping away so that their closeness wouldn\'t be found suspicious by the public.

"Ummm... Surprise...?"

"!!!!!!"

The black-haired boy released the spell and smiled awkwardly – which actually caused quite the stir amongst the gathered student.

The thing was before not many people paid attention to the black-haired boy as everyone was too preoccupied with the announcement and the confrontation between the second and the first prince – but now, with everything basically settled – the scarless attendant ended up in the center of attention especially considering that he took a water spear to the chest like it was nothing and didn\'t even flinch!

"...wha-wha-whaaaat?! Wh-who is this...?!"

"No- seriously, is that some foreign royalty?!"

"...isn\'t that sir Zoemi though...?"

"What?! Impossible! This definitely must be some sort of foreign royalty!"

...although it seemed that everyone\'s attention was focused on the black-haired boy\'s devilishly beautiful appearance and not his much stronger than before magic...

"What surprise you reckless idi...! Nnnn...!"

Miriette honestly tried to get angry at the attendant but one look into his overwhelmingly handsome face made her blush and look away – she felt like her heart would burst out of her chest if she gazed upon the black-haired boy for too long.

"My lady! I am terribly sorry for pushing you and the first prince aside – were you harmed in any way!"

Zoemi shook his head and asked out loud glancing at the crowd slightly surprised by their reaction.

"...wha...?"

"....pffft...!"

Miriette and Horeo looked at each other and snorted in disbelief.

"Harmed? How so? You saved me and Miriette – seriously... what was that reaction time – I feel ashamed I would have been skewered if it weren\'t for you, my friend."

"!!!!"

Horeo sighed with a grateful smile and proudly patted Zoemi\'s shoulder – also observing the reaction of the surrounding crowd.
