The Female Leads Truly Loves You - Chapter 110

Chapter 110: Is she a princess from an anime?
Suddenly finding two unfamiliar faces in his own home caught Sam off guard. He had never seen them before.

They were two girls, brimming with the aura of youth, seated right next to his sister, Ava.

At that moment, they turned around and looked at Sam with exaggerated expressions, as if they were utterly surprised. It was as though Sam had become some rare beast or monster…

“Ava, you said your brother wasn’t here! But here he is?!”

Huh? It had been raining for the past few days, so Sam hadn’t gone out. How could he not be here?

Ava’s cheeks immediately turned a slight shade of red, and she stammered, “Ah? I…I meant he hadn’t woken up yet, you must have misunderstood…”

Another girl stood up and approached Sam.

“Hello! You must be Ava’s brother, right? My name is Celestria~”

Sam was somewhat surprised. Were young girls these days so direct and bold?

It was clear she was about the same age as his sister, so she must be Ava’s classmate—there was no other possibility.

“Ah…hello, I’m Ava’s brother, Sam.”

Sam greeted her politely.

Then the other girl stood up and came over to Sam, shyly extending her hand.

“Hello~ I’m Ava’s best friend, my name is Miraluna~ Has she ever mentioned me to you?”

Celestria had long hair, tied in a braid, while Miraluna sported a refreshing short haircut.

Both girls were pretty, but next to Ava, they seemed quite ordinary.

However, since they were Ava’s friends, Sam was still very warm towards them.

“Heh…Ava has mentioned you guys. Isn’t it summer vacation? Why did you come over so early?”

Sam poured a few glasses of water, placing them in front of the three girls, but throughout the process, he kept his head down, trying to avoid the girls’ gazes that treated him as if he were a rare animal.

Being too handsome sometimes comes with its troubles, as if any glance from the opposite sex might be filled with danger.

Miraluna said with a giggly smile, “We had planned a trip with Ava, but she said you were coming back, so she decided not to go, and that’s why the plan was canceled~”

Sam was unaware of this reason; he thought Ava was just staying at home without much else going on.

Noticing her brother’s gaze, Ava’s cheeks immediately flushed red as she hurriedly explained, “That’s not true! I couldn’t go because of something at the church, it has nothing to do with him! Don’t make things up, Miraluna!”

Miraluna, squinting her eyes and smiling, said, “Oh? Is that so? But did Celestria know?”

“Ah? Know what?”

“She told us not to visit because her brother was actually ugly, and the photos were edited. Now, why do you think she would say that?”

Sam, who was drinking water, almost spit it out.

If Sam was considered ugly, then clearly, there were no truly handsome men in the world.

But why would Ava tell such an obvious lie?

Ava, her face entirely red with panic, lunged at Miraluna. “I told you not to spread nonsense!!!”

“Ah! She’s trying to kill me! Sam, save me, I can barely breathe~!!”

Sam, laughing, put down his glass. “Unfortunately, I’m not one to betray family for justice. If something like this were to happen, I could only protect Ava.”

“Sam, you spoil your sister so much, it just makes you look even more handsome~~~”

Hmm? The thoughts of young girls these days are indeed peculiar.

Before Sam could respond, footsteps were heard.

Instinctively looking over, Sam saw a figure emerging from the staircase.

Angel was wearing a red long dress, elegant as a vampiric princess from an animated film.

Her long hair was not tied up, with some strands playfully curling, but without a hint of dryness.

Like in the movies, the protagonist’s entrance always comes with an aura, automatically drawing everyone’s attention, making everything around serve her appearance.

So even though Angel made no sound or speech as she descended the stairs, the conversation automatically halted, and all eyes were drawn to her.

Sam could even clearly hear the sound of everyone holding their breath.

Aside from Ava, the other two girls, Miraluna and Celestria, widened their eyes in disbelief at the sight of Angel, who still seemed a bit sleepy from her entrance.

“Is…is she a princess from an anime?”

“Wow…so beautiful…wait, did I just step into a fairy tale world?”

Hearing the unfamiliar voices, Angel instinctively frowned, not saying a word but looking towards Sam, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, clearly wanting an explanation from him.

Sam with a smile, said, “They’re Ava’s classmates. This is Miraluna and that’s Celestria.”

“Oh.”

Angel acknowledged them with an “Oh,” then ignored the exaggerated stares from Miraluna and Celestria, calmly sitting next to Sam at the dining table.

At that moment, Sam’s mother came out of the kitchen with breakfast.

“Join us for breakfast, Miraluna and Celestria. Didn’t expect you to come over as well.”

Despite feeling a bit odd about Angel’s demeanor, Miraluna and Celestria didn’t say anything else and sat down at the table.

“Thank you~”

After the greeting, Miraluna lowered her head and whispered to Ava, “What’s with her? She has such a unique aura. Is she your brother’s girlfriend?”

Ava frowned, clearly annoyed, “Of course not, she’s just a classmate of my brother.”

Miraluna, with an exaggerated expression, whispered back, “Eh? Just a classmate? But look, the way she sits next to your brother is too natural, just like a couple that has been in love for a long time… And they look so good together too, your brother is so handsome, probably only a girl like her would match him, right?”

Ava became even more displeased. Although she had to admit that Angel did seem well-matched with Sam, she didn’t want them to actually be together.

“What do you mean ‘match’? She’s worthy of my brother? Impossible, I told you they’re not… and that’s final.”

Miraluna, seeing Ava suddenly becoming impatient, was puzzled. Why was she acting so strangely all of a sudden?

Miraluna’s eyes darted around before settling on Sam and Angel, who were calmly eating across from her.

“Hey, have you guys gone anywhere fun since you’ve been back?” she inquired.

Sam took a sip of milk and replied with composure, “Not really, just walked around the neighborhood. Cedarwood doesn’t seem to have much in terms of attractions, does it?”

Despite his fondness for his hometown, Sam was aware that Cedarwood’s attractions were limited mainly to its natural scenery.

The idea of a theme park or similar attraction seemed far-fetched, especially considering they were located quite a distance away, and Angel likely wouldn’t enjoy places that appeared childish.

Miraluna then turned to Ava. “Oh, by the way, there’s a new open-air bath that recently opened. I haven’t been there yet… do you guys want to check it out?”

Angel, who was focused on her meal, seemed to tune out the conversation entirely.

Sam wasn’t particularly interested, but Miraluna quickly looked at Ava. “Ava, you’ve been wanting to go, right? You’re an excellent swimmer.”

Ava blinked in confusion, “When did I say I wanted to…”

However, she felt someone nudge her leg twice and saw Miraluna winking at her, seemingly catching on to something unspoken.

Ava nodded, “I’ve heard the facilities are quite good… I am indeed interested in going.”

Sam smiled, “Then you should go. The weather’s cleared up, and it’s perfect for swimming. Just make sure to apply sunscreen.”

Celestria chimed in, “Sam, aren’t you guys going? Let’s all go together, since we’re all free anyway.”

Sam, considering everyone’s feelings, turned to Angel with a question. “Do you want to go swimming?”

Angel replied bluntly, “Not interested.”

Ava laughed at her response. “Then let’s go, brother. It makes no sense for someone who can’t swim to go to such a place. If you prefer staying home, that’s fine. You are an heiress, after all, can be understood.”

Angel’s gaze lifted to Ava at the sarcastic remark, an action that momentarily tensed Ava, given Angel’s imposing presence.

But soon, Angel smiled. “You think I can’t swim? Is it not possible that I simply don’t feel like swimming?”

Ava huffed, “Anyway, you can say whatever you want since it’s your mouth.”

Miraluna nudged Celestria’s arm, “Here it comes… This is what I wanted to see, hehehe.”

Angel wiped her mouth and stood up, seemingly uninterested in engaging with Ava’s provocation.

Seeing Angel heading back upstairs, Ava turned to Sam. “What about you, brother? You’re not planning to stay at home too, are you? You haven’t really spent time with me outside since you got back.”

Sam pondered for a moment, realizing the truth in Ava’s words and feeling somewhat guilty. It wouldn’t be right to focus all his attention on Angel and neglect his sister, would it?

Hesitating, Sam nodded. “I guess I could go… Alright, I’ll let her know.”

Sam was about to inform Angel. However, unexpectedly, Angel came back downstairs, her hair tied up, looking more refreshed and not as sleepy as before.

“Angel, I might go swimming with my sister shortly…”

“I know, let’s go together.”

Sam was stunned. “Go? Where?”

Angel matter-of-factly said, “To the bath, wasn’t that the plan?”

Surprised, Sam looked at her, “You’re coming too?”

This caught Ava and the others off guard, turning to see the effortlessly graceful and noble Angel casually say, “Yes, I just made a call and found out that the bath is actually invested in by my family. So, I had them turn away other visitors for now, change the water, and it should be ready by the time we get there.”

Sam was at a loss for words. What kind of powerful backing was this?

Miraluna was equally astonished. “Wait… did she mean that her family owns the bath and it’s been booked exclusively for us?”

Others might not have been aware, but Ava now recognized the reality of the situation and nodded. “If she says so, it’s probably true… Her family has the means.”

Miraluna covered her forehead, her eyes gleaming, “My gosh… Isn’t she just like a princess?! How amazing it would be to become friends with such an heiress…”

Ava gave Miraluna a puzzled look. “What’s with that look… You’re not going to betray our friendship just because she’s wealthy, are you?”

Miraluna immediately patted her chest in assurance. “How could that be? Our friendship is as solid as a rock; nothing can shake it! Right, Celestria?”

Celestria, slightly absent-minded, nodded, “Ah? Ah, yes… Of course! We would never leave Ava behind!”

At that moment, some noise came from outside, and Angel looked up at the three girls. “The car arrived quickly; it must have been waiting nearby. Let’s go, get in the car.”

Ava frowned, not very pleased with Angel’s showy attitude. “I need to grab my swimsuit.”

Miraluna and Celestria also remembered something, “Oh! Right, we didn’t bring our swimsuits either!”

Angel calmly walked towards the door. “No worries, there are swimsuits for sale there. Just pick whatever you want, and you don’t have to pay.”

At this moment, Angel, standing at the doorway, sounded like an unquestionable queen.

Miraluna and Celestria gasped in surprise, then their faces lit up with joy. “Ah! That’s amazing! I can save so much more pocket money now! Miss Angel, do you need help carrying anything?”

“Miss Angel, will you be applying sunscreen later? Let me do it for you; my sunscreen application skills are a family heirloom!”

Watching her classmates’ actions, Ava stomped her foot in annoyance. “Hmph, it’s just some money. What’s there to show off!”

Sam chuckled and ruffled Ava’s hair. “It’s okay, it’s okay. They’re just talking; don’t take it seriously, and definitely don’t get mad.”

Ava looked up at her brother with dissatisfaction. “You’re not befriending her just because she’s rich, are you?”

Sam’s eyes widened, looking utterly innocent. “How could that be? I’m a steadfast romantic, I’d never bow to capital.”

“That’s good then…”

“Sam, can you go upstairs and get my sunscreen from my suitcase?”

“Sure thing~”

Ava: “…”

Sam’s sister stood there, feeling as lonely as a child abandoned by the whole world… No, she was the only warrior brave enough to stand against the dragon queen.

No matter what they did, she would not bow to this detestable woman!

She was determined… to make this woman see!
