Reincarnated As The Villainess's Son

370  [Wedding By Blood] [22] [Partner]

"Why did you take so long?"

Elise grumbled, walking just beside me as we rushed toward the main hallway.

"Who asked you to wait for me?" I clicked my tongue, adjusting my coat as we hurried through the corridor. "I only took ten minutes to get ready."

She scoffed, brushing a stray lock of hair behind her ear. "Still too long. Anyway, do you have any ideas?"

"Oh, about Aimar?"

"Yeah."

Hmm...

'I don't know how I should convince him.'

For the last five minutes, she'd been bombarding me with her problem.

Long story short: she wants Aimar as her dance partner but is too afraid to ask, worried he'll reject her.

So, she is asking me to work as a wingman and pair them up.

'But how should I?'

I rubbed the back of my neck, pondering. Truthfully, I had no idea.

I wasn't sure Aimar even knew about her feelings—pretty sure he was completely clueless.

Bitch is fucking clueless.

I glanced at Elise, who was practically vibrating with impatience.

"Do you really like him?" I asked quietly. "And... why him, of all people?"

She didn't answer immediately, her gaze fixed ahead with a slight furrow of her brows.

"He's... different," she finally muttered. "I don't want to lose him."

"Aren't you a princess or something?" I raised an eyebrow. "Will your family approve of him?"

"Don't worry about them." She replied, crossing her arms. "Once I see even a little hint that Aimar likes me, I can handle the rest."

I nodded slightly. "That shouldn't be so hard."

"What do you know?" she huffed, sounding almost pitiful.

"Aimar's as dense as a rock. I could probably kiss him, and he'd think I was trying to bite his face off."

It might be possible.

"Kiss him, huh?" I muttered, giving her a sidelong glance.

She immediately averted her gaze, cheeks tinged red.

What did Aimar even do to make her like this? Some kind of drug?

Hmm.

It might be possible.

'How is that rude bastard even likable?'
