Transmigrated as the Villainess Fake Young Lady, Please Spare Me, Female Lead Sister - Volume 1 Chapter 22

Chapter 22: The Etiquette Class, Is It Really Proper?

***

Come on, how about it?

Lavendia narrowed her eyes, waiting for Claire’s reaction.

『Host, host——』

『Don’t space out, you’ve been insulted, you’ve been attacked! Quickly scream and make her kneel before you!』

Claire snapped back to reality with a start, suddenly standing up and taking two steps back. The chair made a harsh sound against the floor.

Her face was red to her ears, and she covered her chest as if she had been molested, pointing one trembling finger at Lavendia.

“Y-y-y-you…!”

『Call her trash! Call her shameless! Call her a slut! Then throw this napkin in her face, or make her kneel before you!』

The system’s prompter was very comprehensive.

However, in that split second, amidst her panic and embarrassment, Claire still maintained her rationality and survival instinct.

Looking at the options, among everything the system suggested, only throwing the napkin seemed to have the least aggressive impact—

So she bit her lip, with tears in her eyes, grabbed the lipstick-stained napkin and threw it out forcefully!

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, under Lavendia’s calm gaze.

The poor napkin, like a small piece of paper, fluttered twice, spun around, and was lightly, feebly thrown by Claire onto the floor.

Thrown onto, the floor.

Like a silent mockery.

— Her strength was too weak, and besides, this fabric wasn’t really meant to be thrown…

Even at such a close distance, she couldn’t throw it in the female protagonist’s face.

The system was silent for a moment, then played a GIF of someone holding their head and chuckling.

『Host, you’ve got me laughing…』

Claire’s inner voice was almost on the verge of tears.

“Don’t laugh! What’s so funny!”

“Don’t laugh!!!”

————

Breakfast was finally over.

Claire felt like she never wanted to eat breakfast again… oh no, breakfast was actually delicious, it was all because of this awful villainess point.

She never wanted to use the villainess point again in this life.

She silently followed behind Lavendia and a group of maids, heading to the etiquette classroom.

The etiquette classroom was in a room deep inside the third floor.

Claire barely paid attention to the route along the way, just keeping her head down to observe the carpet patterns.

As she observed, well, how to put it.

She felt oddly relieved.

It’s like after experiencing social death, everything seemed so trivial…

Anna followed behind her, with super high favorability rating above her head, calling “young lady” this and “young lady” that all the way.

She seemed to comfort her a few times, and also seemed to indignantly curse Lavendia in a low voice, helping Claire strategize a grand bullying plan…

Claire wasn’t really listening.

It wasn’t until Anna left with the maids, leaving only her and Lavendia standing in the unfamiliar room, with the door closing behind them, that she came back to her senses and looked around.

The etiquette classroom was… very different from what she had imagined.

It wasn’t a bright and clean hall, nor was it a classroom with desks.

This room was large and spacious, but all four walls were hung with very heavy burgundy curtains.

Though it was clearly a sunny day outside, with the morning sun just right, almost no light could penetrate inside. All the furnishings were arranged in the dimness.

In the corner of the room, a mandrake-shaped floor lamp was lit with warm yellow light, illuminating a low sofa.

Claire squinted her eyes, trying to adjust to the unusually dim light in the room.

On that sofa seemed to sit a tall woman…

『Host, host, stay alert. Were you not listening when I was talking to you earlier?』

“Mm…” Claire felt a bit guilty, urgently trying to recall the game’s plot.

If she remembered correctly, Lavendia’s etiquette teacher wasn’t an ordinary teacher.

Instead, she was… specially hired by Duke Grendel at a great expense…

“Oh my, have my little princesses arrived~?”

“Come closer, let sister take a good look at you~”

An exceptionally sweet voice, with the ending notes carrying an unsettling, sugary sweetness.

The woman in the shadows stood up smiling and brightened the floor lamp.

The yellowish ambiguous light first illuminated a snowy, undulating mountain range.

Soft, fluffy, like two large cotton candies, seemingly about to burst forth, yet constrained by black delicate lace trim, the black and white contrast particularly eye-catching.

The valley between them sank into shadows, seemingly bottomless…

Her glossy black hair fell in curls on her chest.

She wore lace gloves on her hands, black stockings on her thighs, and a black lace-trimmed small hat tilted on her head, matching perfectly with her black dress.

A very elegant teacher with an excellent figure and great beauty.

Claire instinctively looked down at her own chest.

Well, flat as a board, putting it nicely, barely promising for the future.

A subtle feeling of inferiority naturally arose.

Looking at Lavendia again.

Hmm, Sister Lavendia’s figure wasn’t so exaggerated, but it was “just right.”

Neither lacking nor seeming cumbersome. The proportions of her chest, waist, and hips were all just right.

Well-proportioned, beautiful, graceful, and fragrant… the conclusion was, Sister Lavendia was still the best.

Wuwu, when will the favorability rating ever rise above zero?

The system popped up an exclamation mark: 『Host, where are you looking! Get ready for the mission! Remember to severely hinder Lavendia, make her lose face in front of the teacher!』

“O-okay…”

『Don’t be careless, you know, this person is—』

At the same moment, Lavendia also gazed intently at the strange woman in the lamplight, the darkness instinctively keeping her alert, her body taut like a drawn bow.

However, when she spoke, her voice still sounded calm and composed:

“Hello. Are you the etiquette teacher?”

“That’s right, my dear child~”

“Eh? Oh my, oh my?”

The voice that had just been at the sofa somehow suddenly appeared behind Claire.

Having someone suddenly speak next to her ear startled Claire.

“I am Aurora Nosferatu, you may call me whatever you like.”

“If you find the name difficult to pronounce, you can just call me Vampire Teacher~?”

In the darkness, this elegant woman removed her glasses and tucked them at her chest, revealing a pair of bright pink heart-shaped pupils.

Claire timidly turned around and met her gaze.

The vampire smiled gracefully, leaning in closer, almost pressing her soft cotton candies against Claire’s arm, giving her goosebumps.

This person continued smiling with curved eyebrows and eyes, saying: “You’re the Grendel family’s young lady, right?”

“Your old man told me about you. But you don’t look like such a bad child?”

“However, I think I heard you talking to someone earlier… What’s that about? Did I hear wrong?”

Claire didn’t dare move, didn’t dare speak even in her mind, and even held her breath.

She hadn’t actually spoken out loud earlier, only responded to the system once in her mind…

Could this woman hear people’s thoughts?

Meanwhile, Lavendia beside her also slightly narrowed her eyes.

For some reason, seeing Claire being restrained, her mood suddenly became very bad.

— Vampire.

Besides the extinct ancient elves, the most mysterious race on this continent.

Do they live in ancient castles? Do they need blood to survive? Are they afraid of silver items or crosses? Are they truly immortal, or do they have their own natural enemies?

No one knows.

Of the documented existing vampires, there are no more than 50 in total, and no one knows how many years each of them has lived…

Claire suspected that perhaps the game developers didn’t even have complete plot settings and power systems.

In any case, Lavendia’s etiquette teacher was the only vampire that appeared in this game.

There was very little information about her, only knowing that she would become one of Lavendia’s allies in the later stages of the plot.

Originally this teacher didn’t have many scenes, and once the etiquette classes were over there wasn’t much about her, Claire just thought of her as a stylishly designed big sister…

But why did she focus her attention on Claire right from the start?

Please, I’m not the female protagonist! Lavendia should be the focus!

This is so scary!

Vampires are too mysterious, even if she really has mind-reading abilities that weren’t mentioned in the game, it’s probably not impossible.

She can’t let her discover the system’s existence, and absolutely can’t let her discover that she’s not the original Claire, otherwise something terrible will definitely happen!

Somehow, she just had this intuition—

Thinking of this, Claire hurriedly covered her mouth, shrinking towards Lavendia’s direction, shaking her head vigorously.

She indicated that she definitely wasn’t talking to anyone, it must have been a misunderstanding on your part.

The vampire named Aurora narrowed her eyes, the fluorescent pink pupils bouncing like two bright ghost fires in the darkness.

After a while, she gave a light laugh.

“Is that so~? Then I must have heard wrong?”

She fluttered back to her sofa like a butterfly, twirling a curl of hair from her chest around her finger, saying with a smile:

“Then let’s prepare and start our lesson.”

Claire secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly hiding behind Lavendia.

She was mentally devastated.

Not only did she not dare to talk to the system, but she also couldn’t see Aurora’s favorability rating.

All other NPCs had it, but Aurora’s head was completely empty, with only a pretty black hat.

The unknown is the greatest fear, friend.

It was just teaching etiquette, not trying to cultivate her into a succubus or some other unspeakable thing…

Why did they have to find such a terrifying teacher for Lavendia!
