I Give Up on the BL Novel's Male Leads - Chapter 63
In fact, Alisha was not lacking in opportunities. She had a pretty face and the status of her family, which made many men eager to accompany her.
But out of pride, she didn’t want to appear desperate by making the first move.
However, she wasn’t thinking about that. Alisha was just fixated on the fact that Illein had stood her up and reported her to the police.
‘Alisha! Are you crazy? What if you get expelled, how will you marry then?’
‘Ah! I’ll manage!’
‘What do you mean manage? You’re only in Class 10 at that prestigious academy; if you were managing, you should be at least in Class 5!’
‘Enough! Even if I get kicked out of the academy, there are plenty of men who like me.’
‘They like your looks, not you! What pride is there in being liked by such superficial men!’
Every time her parents nagged her like that, Alisha’s anger towards Illein grew.
If it hadn’t been for that police report, she wouldn’t have been scolded this badly.
“I’ll make you regret this.”
With that, Alisha stomped her way to where her group from Class 10 was, wearing a spectacularly beautiful dress.
“Willai? What are you doing?”
“Don’t talk to me. I need to be alone.”
Willai knew Illenas was coming today. He was thinking about the letter he had received.
[Hello, I must decline your invitation. I already have a partner for the dance party. They asked me first, so I can’t accompany you, Master Macintosh.]
Willai still carried that letter with him, because he could smell Illenas’s scent on it.
“Are you planning a proposal or something?”
Maxinon mocked him like that.
Willai had come alone, dressed in a black suit with a long cape, clutching a bunch of red roses.
Maxinon found Willai’s situation both pathetic and annoying.
Although his family’s situation was modest, Willai’s appearance was undeniably handsome.
However, his beauty had a cheap look about it, from his pierced ears to his rebellious gaze. And the nonsense he spouted whenever he opened his mouth was another matter.
Surprisingly, some women were drawn to that.
“Well, let’s see how you do.”
“I’ll do well. Just watch, you’ll be surprised by Illenas too, don’t get too close, you know the drill.”
“Why is it always about her? Aren’t you tired of it?”
Lenin scoffed as Willai said that. Maxinon shrugged in agreement.
Then, far away, Illein, or rather, Illenas was descending the stairs, holding Melias’s hand.
And the three of them looked at Illein with the same expression.
Her brilliant silver hair and eyes as pure as freshly thawed ice, along with her stunning blue dress that seemed crafted from ice itself.
“Insane!”
He immediately recognized who Illenas that Willai had been talking about.
Acknowledging that his week-long talk about Illenas as if enchanted by a nymph wasn’t just empty chatter.
Lenin, Maxinon, Willai, and Alisha.
These four were quite close. Or so it seemed.
Alisha’s predatory beauty and Willai’s handsome looks contrasted with the average appearances of Lenin and Maxinon.
However, both came from esteemed families, which subtly gave them a sense of superiority over Willai.
That’s why, after seeing Illenas, they felt even those from a mere Viscount family like Willai had a chance, then they from Count’s families must have a better one.
And while women seemed to care about appearances, when it came to marriage, they often looked more at the family background.
Between the two, they lacked only in looks compared to Willai, but their families were much more influential.
The moment they saw Illein, it was as if internal fractures began within their group.
Melias was reserved but had a serious look. He possessed dazzling golden hair and eyes as if molten gold was set within them.
His eyes had the sharpness of an eagle’s, yet whenever they turned towards Illein, they softened, seemingly bathed in sunlight.
And his rigid lips coupled with his overflowing graceful demeanor.
It was no wonder that Willai, Maxinon, and Lenin felt intimidated. And Illein, standing by Melias, was dazzlingly radiant.
They soon regretted teasing and belittling Willai.
Illein was conversing with Melias, and soon she was smiling up at him.
“Ah, these heels are a bit high…”
“I’ll make sure we walk slowly.”
“Thank you.”
“I should have recommended ones with lower heels.”
“No, I like these. They make me look taller, which is nice.”
Illein shyly smiled, looking into Melias’s eyes. As if conveying her sincerity.
