Cordilia were back on her feet after several days, deliberately not accepting any food made by Vivian, in fear that the airhead woman would place anything in it. Of course this behavior crushed the Mother's heart, but could she blame her daughter? After all, Vivian forced Cordilia to eat the cake, not liking the fact that Cordilia would waste it and being rude on not accepting her good intention, only for it to backfire and almost took Cordilia's life.

This caused Vivian to break down, a mother doesn't know what her daughter likes, dislikes, and preferences is kinda shameful, don't you think?

Currently, Cordilia was sitting in the carriage with her brothers. Hating the fact that she can't yet go on her own.

When she arrived, she was tackled by the Female Lead.

"President! I heard you are very sick! Are you fine now?" she exclaimed and began checking Cordilia for any injuries.

Cordilia could feel three pairs of eyes burning holes on the back of her head.

"I am fine, Miss Lily. Thanks to Prince Cullen, I am cured" Cordilia said, Lily paused before she beamed and then faltered.

"Prince Cullen!? But President...." Lily then leaned to Cordilia's ear and covered her the side of her mouth

"Are you falling for his charms? He made you cry and I heard he is very..... He has a very questionable character" Lily whispered as if sharing a secret, it's not really a secret as everyone already know

"Miss Lily, please do not over step your boundaries. This is business between nobles. We exist to make connection and allies, as well as build bridges to other kingdoms to established peace between the two. There is no such thing as fairytale happiness. At least, not all of us gets to marry someone we want. But this is our duty, in exchange for our happiness for the safety of everyone." Cordilia said coldly as she brushed Lily's hold from her

"You can't possibly understand this because you're a commoner. Commoners can get married to whomever they pleased as long as they have the same status. That goes to us Nobles too. However, it is looked down upon by society when a noble and commoner get together" Cordilia said making Lily flinched, she looked very sad and angry

"Know your limits Cordilia!" Ken yelled, taking Lily's hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

"Cordilia, do your job. If the Female Lead won't fall for one of the captured targets, they will blame you. The plot will make you suffer, you and everyone around you, including me"

Isaac's voice rang in her head. Cordilia sighed.

"It's not that I am being antagonistic. I am just telling the truth. It's not forbidden to fall in love with someone bellow your status, everyone will look down on you, but you'll ignore it, you'll be happy with each other, however, you can't forget the fact that it will affect your children's life as well. They may be cowardly enough to not spat in your face, but what would happen to your child? Think about it. I am sorry, but I am just being realistic. Happiness such as this only exist in books. But if you can somehow make it work and defyfate, then I gave you my best wishes" Cordilia said and walked passed them

"Don't be sad, Lily, Cordilia is just.... She's just stressed these past few days" Henry said trying to reassure the girl.

"Thanks, I want to be alone for now" Lily said

Lily wiped her tears as she bowed her head, running to the garden. Busting into tears and began thinking what would happen in the future. Cordilia was right. Aristocracy will not accept a filthy commoner in their ranks, and even if my love could protect me by his side, our children... Our kids.... They will have to suffer the prejudice and discrimination.

What to do?
......

"Bravo, bravo, bravo! As expected. Villainy really runs in your blood" Isaac clapped his hands, amusement and expectation shone in his eyes, Cordilia gave him a glare and a sneer

"Stitch your mouth and jump off the cliff, Ice" Cordilia sneered and walked away

"Remember! You're the Villainess! It's our job to make it hard for them and play a secret matchmaker by giving them obstacles!"Isaac called before he started heading to the carriage, apparently, its time for him and his fellow students to come back, they have already overstayed.

Cordilia ran her hand to her hair, giving a frustrated sigh. Leonard suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Sweetheart, don't be sad. I'm right here" Leonard said with the a smile that is commonly seen on a flirt or a playboy.

"Please go away. I am not a girl to be messed with. I am already given a blessing by your father. I am already engaged therefore you can't touch me, have some shame and don't throw your dignity away." Cordilia said making Leonard's face falter

"What's so good about him anyway!? I am handsome and women Flock around me!" Leonard exclained

"He's cold, dark, and mysterious. Women loves mystery, including me" Cordilia lied smoothly, Leonard growled

"I am a Prince!"

"He's the Crown Prince"

"I have a dignified reputation!"

"You're the campus playboy, he's the Student Body President, the gap between you two is very big." Cordilia keep bursting his bubble, this made Leonard deflates

"Please, I took a liking to him. Go away. I am not interested on a man that keeps changing his woman like they are clothes. Even if you are a Prince, I have no respect for people like that" Cordilia said coldly and walked passed him, ignoring how hurt Leonard was

'I don't want to be this way! My hard work on being a bystander for years all gone! Ice! If I don't smack you the next time we see each other then I'll spell my name backwards!' Cordilia rage as she started giving yellow cards on the offending people whom thought they could slack off just because she was gone for a few days.
