Chapter 183 The Villain Lady Arrives 11
Tariq was choked by Chi Meng's words and was speechless for a moment. He did not see Chi Meng take action with his own eyes, but the scene before him made him unable to believe that all this had nothing to do with Chi Meng.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, and then said in a deep voice: "Miss Vivian, whether you admit it or not, the most important thing now is to restore the Third Prince to health. I beg you to remove that unknown magic and free the Third Prince from his pain."
Chi Meng heard this and a playful smile appeared on her lips. She deliberately dragged out her voice and said:
"Oh? Are you ordering me, Mr. Brave? I remember that the rules of the magic academy are that we are not allowed to interfere with others without reason, and we are not allowed to use magic to harm classmates. You are so sure that it was me who did it, aren't you afraid of violating the rules of the academy?"
Tariq was choked by Chi Meng's words and was speechless. He really had no solid evidence to prove that it was Chi Meng who did it, but the scene before him made him unable to let it go.
He turned to look at Alice, hoping she could say something, but Alice just shook her head silently, her eyes full of helplessness and despair.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the classroom became extremely tense. The students gathered around, looking at the scene with surprise, curiosity, or worry.
Some people began to whisper, guessing what had happened; others frowned, trying to find a clue from this farce.
"What is going on? Why would Miss Vivian suddenly attack the Third Prince?"
"I heard that Miss Vivian's engagement with the Third Prince was not harmonious. Is this true?"
"But Miss Vivian usually looks so gentle, she doesn't seem like someone who would do such a thing!"
"Don't talk nonsense. Miss Vivian is not that kind of person."
"Besides, didn't you hear what Miss Vivian said? It wasn't when he moved that I didn't feel any trace of the spell being cast at all."
"I think what Miss Vivian said is right. I was watching the whole time. Miss Vivian was at least 10 meters away from the Third Prince. How could it be Miss Vivian who did it?"
"Those two civilians are the most suspicious. Who knows if they have been contaminated by the evil spirit in the civilians' homes?"
"Stop talking. Didn't you say that man is the hero?"
"Haha, this year's hero was born from a commoner. It's incredible."
Various discussions were heard one after another, making the whole classroom noisy. However, amidst the noise, one voice seemed particularly clear and firm.
"Everyone," Chi Meng suddenly raised her voice, but her voice was loud enough to ensure that everyone in the classroom could hear her.
As she spoke, she slowly walked towards Alros, with a complex emotion flashing in her deep eyes. She squatted down, gently stroked Alros's face which was twisted by pain, and said in a gentle and almost cruel tone:
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince has suddenly fallen ill. The most important thing now is to notify the teachers at the academy."
"Can any kind-hearted student please help take His Royal Highness the Third Prince to the infirmary?"
Yes, yes, yes, you should tell the college teacher now.
"I come!"
A magician's knight squire came out and said, "I'm sorry to offend His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
He knocked the third prince unconscious, carried him on his shoulder, and walked out of the classroom.
Chi Meng looked at the back of the Third Prince as he hurried away, and her heart was filled with joy. However, she quickly suppressed her emotions, turned around and faced her classmates who were looking at her in different ways, and performed a standard aristocratic etiquette. The elegance and composure revealed in her demeanor did not diminish in the slightest even in such a tense atmosphere.
"Vivian is really upset about disturbing your studies."
Her voice was gentle yet powerful, like a spring breeze, yet it carried a firmness that could not be ignored.
"The situation of His Royal Highness the Third Prince is still unclear. I know that every student is a witness to the incident. Perhaps a detail you observed is the key to solving the mystery. Therefore, I implore you to provide all the clues you know without reservation after the academy teachers arrive, so that we can work together to find out the real reason why His Royal Highness the Third Prince suddenly fell ill."
Having said this, Chi Meng paused for a moment, and his eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts lightly swept over everyone, and continued:
"As a thank you, the Duke's Mansion will present a bottle of recovery potion to each student present. Although it is not a valuable item, I hope it can bring some help to you in your future studies or adventures."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of whispers and exclamations in the classroom.
The recovery potion, even the primary version, was worth a lot of money in the market, and was undoubtedly a rare treasure for most students. This sudden generosity instantly eased the tense atmosphere caused by the Third Prince incident, and the students showed expressions of gratitude and expectation on their faces.
"Ms. Vivian is so generous!"
"Yes, such a good thing actually happened to us!"
"Don't worry, Miss Vivian, we will tell you everything we know!"
"We all saw it clearly. Miss Vivian was so far away from the Third Prince. How could Miss Vivian be related to what happened to the Third Prince?"
"I think it's probably related to those two civilians. Maybe the Third Prince got too close to those two civilians and was harmed by something like this from them."
Everyone expressed their opinions and promised to fully cooperate, and a positive atmosphere filled the classroom again. Chi Meng smiled slightly, and that smile showed both satisfaction with the students' reactions and concern for the comfort of the third prince.
This made everyone who saw this smile sigh in their hearts that Miss Vivian was so kind, brave, talented, and polite. The Third Prince was simply blind if he didn't like Miss Vivian.
At this moment, in the corridor outside the classroom, Alice and Tariq were following the knight's attendant, each with their own thoughts in their minds.
Although Alice had doubts about Chi Meng's behavior, she was more worried about the safety of the third prince, and her pace unconsciously quickened. Tariq was indignant and sneered at Chi Meng's "buying people's hearts" behavior.
"Alice, do you really believe her?" Tariq lowered his voice with obvious distrust in his tone.
"She bribed everyone with just a few words, and gave away potions so generously. There must be some conspiracy behind this."
Hearing this, Alice frowned slightly, turned to look at Tariq, with a hint of complicated emotions in her eyes.
"Tariq, Vivian is not that kind of person."
She said softly, "I know that sometimes her actions may cause misunderstandings, but she would never do anything to hurt others. I believe she will give a reasonable explanation for this incident."
Tariq was even more unhappy when he saw Alice defending Chi Meng, but he also understood that now was not the time to argue. "Okay, Alice, I hope you are right."
He sighed, but the dissatisfaction in his tone had not completely dissipated. "However, if something really happens to His Royal Highness the Third Prince, I will definitely not let the real murderer go."
The two of them were silent for a moment, and continued to follow the footsteps of the knight's squire. As they gradually moved away from the classroom, the sounds around them gradually faded, leaving only the slight sounds of each other's breathing and footsteps.
