Chapter 241 The Villain Lady Arrives 69
When the classmates heard Alice's question, some of them simply ignored their noble etiquette and rolled their eyes. One of the tall and mean-looking girls snorted coldly and said mockingly:
"Alice, it's easy for you to say that! Your relationship with the Third Prince is your own business? What about Miss Vivian? Is her relationship not a matter?"
Alice was choked by these words, but she quickly straightened her back and responded with a firm look: "I have no intention of hurting Miss Vivian, and they have already broken off the engagement."
"Cancel the engagement? That sounds good! Who knows if you guys are doing anything shameful behind the scenes!" Another boy also stood up and said with a look of disdain.
The students around her began to talk at once, their voices growing louder and louder, as if they were going to drown Alice in the ocean of condemnation. Their words were filled with anger and dissatisfaction, as if Alice and the Third Prince had done something unforgivable.
At this time, the third prince was rushing over. He was studying in the library, but suddenly received the news that Alice was besieged. He was instantly furious. These classmates who seemed noble on weekdays actually bullied and insulted Alice so badly!
The third prince rushed out of the library and ran all the way. His heart was filled with worry about Alice and anger towards those classmates. He vowed to protect Alice and not let her get hurt.
However, just as the Third Prince was about to approach the crowd, a huge flying monster suddenly descended from the sky. It opened its ferocious mouth, let out a deafening roar, and rushed directly towards the Third Prince.
The Third Prince had no time to dodge and was hit hard by the monster. He felt a sharp pain and his right hand was instantly broken. His skin was also scratched and bleeding. What was worse was that several of his ribs were broken and the pain made him almost unable to breathe.
Despite his miserable state, the Third Prince's eyes remained firm. He struggled to stand up and glared at the monster. He knew that the monster was deliberately released by someone in order to stop him from saving Alice.
"Who? Who did it?" the third prince roared, his voice full of anger and majesty.
However, the classmates around him just looked at him coldly and no one spoke.
The third prince roared, his voice echoing in the empty field, but he received no response. He felt as if he was isolated on an island, surrounded by a cold ocean and an unreachable shore. This silent treatment hurt him more than direct insults. He was not only the third prince of the empire, but also a man with dignity and pride.
At this moment, several figures were running towards them from afar. They were originally wandering around the other side of the campus, and suddenly heard the roar of the monster and the screams of the crowd, and immediately realized that something big had happened. When they rushed to the scene, they saw the flying monster slamming into the third prince.
"Oh my God! That's the third prince!" one of them exclaimed, his face turning pale in an instant.
Another person rushed forward and tried to help the Third Prince who had fallen to the ground. However, the Third Prince was already seriously injured and could not stand up on his own. His eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, but also a hint of helplessness.
At the same time, the crazy monster was still rushing around, and it seemed that it had no intention of stopping. Seeing this, several people immediately joined forces to hold the monster, and it took great efforts to subdue it.
At this time, Alice had already broken free from the crowd, and she rushed to the Third Prince who was lying on the ground with tears streaming down her face. Her heart was filled with guilt and self-blame. If she had not been so weak, if she had stood up and explained it earlier, perhaps this would not have happened.
"What's wrong with you? I'm sorry! It's all my fault!" Alice said while crying, her voice trembling.
The third prince looked at Alice's heartbroken appearance, and the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart instantly disappeared. He stretched out his intact right hand and gently patted Alice's shoulder, signaling her not to blame herself.
"I'm fine... Alice... don't cry..." The third prince said with difficulty. Although his voice was weak, it was full of firmness and warmth.
The students around watched this scene, and their anger and dissatisfaction gradually dissipated. Although they were dissatisfied with the emotional entanglement between Alice and the third prince, they could not continue to blame him when they saw that the third prince was seriously injured. After all, they were all classmates and friends who had fought side by side.
The students who arrived later stood aside, looking at each other with mixed feelings. They witnessed the Third Prince being hit hard by the monster, and their hearts were filled with shock and worry.
One of the students broke the silence. He said with a little self-blame: "The monster suddenly went crazy and ran out during our training. We were unable to control it in time. We are really sorry."
Everyone echoed, expressing their apologies and concerns for the Third Prince. They knew that this accident was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Third Prince, and as students who trained monsters, they could not escape the blame.
"Third Prince, I'm sorry. It was our negligence that led to this accident." Another student apologized sincerely, his eyes full of guilt.
The third prince struggled to sit up. Although his face was pale, his eyes were still firm. He shook his head gently, signaling everyone not to blame themselves too much. This accident was not entirely the fault of others. After all, it was difficult to predict when a monster would go crazy.
"I'm fine, you don't have to blame yourself too much." The third prince said slowly. Although his voice was weak, it revealed a kind of tolerance and understanding.
At this moment, a student suddenly remembered the rumors about Alice. He glanced at Alice and saw her kneeling beside the Third Prince with tears streaming down her face. He couldn't help but feel a little scared. He quickly grabbed his friend who wanted to comfort the Third Prince and whispered his guess.
"Haven't you heard the rumor? The rumor that Alice is the devil incarnate." He said mysteriously. Although his voice was not loud, it was loud enough for people around to hear. "It is said that anyone who gets close to her will be unlucky. Look, the third prince has been harmed by her, hasn't he?"
As soon as these words came out, the students around him reacted instantly. They all took a few steps back, as if they were afraid of being tainted by Alice's "bad luck". For a moment, the crowd that had originally surrounded the Third Prince quickly dispersed, leaving only those unlucky students still there.
Alice was stunned. She had never expected that she would be so misunderstood and rejected. She looked at her classmates who were running away, and her heart was filled with bitterness and helplessness. She knew that she could not explain the source and truth of this rumor, nor could she win back the hearts of those who had already developed fear and disgust towards her.
The third prince looked at the students who were fleeing angrily, his heart filled with disappointment and grief. He had not expected that at the critical moment, these students who usually claimed to be the elite of the nobility would be so cowardly and selfish. He held Alice's hand tightly, giving her strength and courage.
"Alice, don't worry about what they think." The third prince comforted her, "I know you are not that kind of person. I believe you."
Alice looked at the Third Prince with gratitude, and the grievance and bitterness in her heart were slightly comforted. She knew that no matter how others misunderstood and rejected her, at least the Third Prince stood by her and supported her.
Seeing this, the unlucky students also hurried forward to help the Third Prince and Alice. Although they were a little scared and uneasy, the more important thing at the moment was to help the injured Third Prince and the misunderstood Alice. They went to the school infirmary together to treat the Third Prince's injuries, and also silently supported Alice.
In the school infirmary, the third prince was lying on the bed, his face pale but still firm. Alice stayed beside him, her heart full of gratitude and respect. This accident made her see the true colors of many people, and made her cherish those who truly cared and supported her.
