Chapter 1616 Time To Use Her Brain
Vivian found out where Jason was.
She had just walked near his classroom when a royal guard blocked her way. “What are you doing here? This is the classroom for the royalties. You’d better stay away.”
Although Regalius Academy was a public school for royalties, the children of the royal family were still separated from the children of aristocratic families.
Under normal circumstances, descendants of aristocrats were not allowed to enter the classroom for the royalties.
Vivian was furious and desperate.
I can’t even go in. What should I do?
Standing still on the spot, she began to rack her brain for an idea.
Up to that point in her life, Vivian rarely needed to use her brain for such situations as she had been well-protected since she was young. Therefore, she never had to figure things out by herself.
Thank goodness. My brain still works!
All of a sudden, tears welled up in her eyes.
The royal guard watched wordlessly as the clear beads of tears streamed down her face.
“Mister, someone… someone bullied me. See, my clothes are all wet. If you won’t let me enter to talk to Prince Jason, then could you give Mr. King a phone call? If they keep bullying me, I… I don’t want to study here anymore. I want to go back to my previous school,” Vivian pleaded.
Matched with her drenched clothes and tearful gaze, she looked pitiful as ever.
The guard could not help but soften his attitude.
Anyone would take a liking to an adorable and pitiful girl like her. Thus, he was distressed to see her cry so miserably.
Moreover, Vivian mentioned that she would speak to the king. If she did, guards like him would be in deep trouble. After all, the king had personally arranged for her to attend that school.
After pondering over it, the guard went to speak to Jason in the classroom while Vivian waited patiently outside.
A few minutes later, she saw the young prince walking out of the classroom.
He was handsome as ever because his face was identical to Calvin’s.
However, Jason’s expression turned cold when he noticed her. Upon taking a closer look, one could see a hint of wariness in his countenance. Evidently, he was cautious of Vivian because of that night’s incident.
“What do you want this time?” he asked impatiently.
Vivian blinked her misty eyes upon hearing him, causing big fat drops of tears to roll down her cheeks.
“P-Prince Jason… Just now, a group of people pranked me in the restroom and wet my clothes. C-Could you help me get a new set of clothes so that I won’t catch a cold?” she implored, her tear-stained face reminding him of an abandoned puppy.
Jason was rendered speechless.
He had seen many pretty girls, but none of them looked as exquisite and silly as her.
Is she dumb? A few nights ago, she and her bodyguard had a clash with Mother and me in our residence, yet she still dares to seek my help after someone bullied her? Isn’t she afraid that I’ll use this opportunity to harm her?
Staring at the foolish-looking Vivian, he seethed with rage and balled his fists.
Moments later, he unclenched his fists and stepped out of the classroom. “Come with me.”
“Okay! Thank you, Prince Jason,” Vivian said, her face lighting up with elation.
With that said, she followed the young prince.
I made the right guess. He’s not as cold and heartless as he seems and takes compassion on me when he sees that I look a sorry sight.
Vivian followed Jason into the drama room, where he told her to choose one of the costumes to wear.
Can I wear them?
Blinking her doe eyes, she turned to him and asked worriedly, “Prince Jason, these are all costumes for your plays. Is it okay for me to wear them?”
“Just do as I say, and stop asking questions,” Jason snapped, his patience running thin.
At that sight, Vivian did not dare to upset him further. She entered the drama room and rummaged through the costumes.
The whole time, Jason waited for her outside.
The royal children indeed used the drama room for performances. Every costume there was bespoke and cost a hefty sum. For example, the nineteenth-century Epean royalty’s outfits that they had easily cost more than ten thousand.
In case anyone came over to cause trouble again, Jason stood guard by the door.
After around ten minutes, the door finally opened again. The young prince looked over his shoulder instinctively and saw Vivian walking out in an aqua-colored dress.
That’s…
Jason was dazed for a moment and let his gaze linger on her.
It was a well-known dress in the drama room for a character named Azurine.
Azurine was a character in a nineteenth-century fairytale, which was still famous then. She was a princess who had fallen into the underworld after someone betrayed her.
In the end, she became a powerful and evil enchantress.
The actress playing Azurine would put on the costume that Vivian was wearing before the character turned evil. The dress was to show how the princess used to be as pure as the driven snow.
