Chapter 188 Calm Before The Storm 3 (2/2)

Her senses became overly heightened and sensitive that the people talking quietly behind her began to sound like they were screaming instead. And to Raghnall who was just speaking across her, he sounded like he was screaming right by her ear.

And she didn't know why but it suddenly made her angry beyond relief.

”HEY! WHY DO YOU KEEP SHOUTING? HAVE YOU NO RESPECT?!”

Raghnall's eyes widened with shock at her loud holler that echoed across the whole place. And in a second, the restaurant was silenced and they instinctively looked around to see the origin of the noise.

Raghnall sighed loudly as he felt a headache form. He shouldn't have trusted her with drinking. She was a pain back when she wasn't drunk but now that she was, she's in a whole different level of being a pain in his life.

But why can't he find it in him to stay away from her?

He sighed again as he tried to calm her down. But the more he tried to appease her, like a baby unreasonably crying, she just kept getting louder and louder until finally, Raghnall had no choice but to clamp her mouth shut with his hand. Using his magic, he moved his chair to sit beside her and he leaned her head on his shoulder.

”Inna, for the love of all that is living, please shut up. I don't want us to be kicked out by a place that Favian partly owns.”

He whispered to her ear at the lowest possible volume he could muster.

Inna seemed to calm down under his grasp and she now spoke calmly through his hand.

”But… but everyone was screaming at me… even you were screaming…”

Her voice held a hidden whimper as her eyes started to water. And when Raghnall heard it, he couldn't help but internally panic.

Was she seriously about to cry?!

Seeing the water in her eyes, he tried to rack his brain on what to do.

But before he could try something, a few loud obnoxious voices distracted him.

”Well, I've never seen a woman show such a disgraceful behavior in public.”

”I never expected it from a student from that prestigious academy.”

”That girl?! A student from THAT academy? How are you so sure that they weren't just lying?”

”I heard it from a few girls as I came in. Something about a crazy student with bells on her hair partnered with a man with a necklace on his head were an embarrassment to their academy.”

”Seriously, do they teach students to behave in such an unruly manner in that academy?”

”Maybe the academy doesn't accept geniuses but crazy people instead.”

”Hah! No wonder that troublemaking royal brat got tossed in there.

At the table behind Raghnall, the two men laughed loudly. And unbeknownst to them, their action started to turn the wheels of fate.
