“No…” Diana flatly refused
Alexander was not surprised by her attitude
It was annoying but to be expected
Although he thought she would refuse politely and not in such an explicit manner
But he won't give up
It's time to use his experience to convince others
Step one: pretend to be weak
Alexander made a sad face and looked down. "Oh...I just wanted to be friends."
"Huh? Oh, it's not what you think, I just haven't thought about joining any club right now." Diana shook her head and waved her hands in panic
She didn't expect Alexander to say such words
Step Two: Show the target that you share his pain and suffering
Alexander looked at Diana with difficulty. “ " instructor Eric told me that you, just like me, have difficulty making new friends and are nervous when talking to others.”
There was a slightly sad expression on her face. "Yes, it's not easy..."
"I know what you mean. I was trying for a whole year, but to no avail... This is what prompted me to seek help from instructor Eric."
Diana put a strand of her platinum blonde hair behind her ear and said. "How did it go?"
“It is no exaggeration to say that the days of my youth are wasting away before my eyes.”
Alexander was telling his true feeling
He now works all day to earn money to pay off his debts
This made him waste his valuable time
Alexander continued. "Then instructor Eric told me about you. I don't know if I can make you my friend, but I wanted to try anyway."
There was a hesitant look deep in Diana's eyes, but she made up her mind and said. “Do you want to drink some tea?”
"It would be my pleasure."
Alexander entered the room and sat on the leather sofa
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
While Diana went to prepare tea
Wow, is that vase studded with precious gems?
Please don't tell me that the frame of this picture is made of real gold
The furniture in the place was more luxurious than Alexander expected
One piece of this furniture was able to pay his debts with ease
As expected from the imperial family. They do not hesitate to show their wealth
It seems that coming here was the right choice
There was a possibility that Diana would refuse to listen to him, making his plan fail before it even began
But he decided to try anyway
Diana returned to the room and placed the cup of tea on the wooden table in front of Alexander
Diana sat across from him and remained silent
There was an awkward silence in the place
"..." Why don't you talk?
Isn't this the part where you're supposed to start asking me some stuff?
Oh, I almost forgot about that. This girl is bad at talking to others
Alexander tried to start a conversation. “So what do you think about the plan to start a club?”
Diana avoided his gaze, still seeming uncomfortable with the idea
Step Three: Change the target's opinion about you and make him think of you more positively
Determination appeared on Alexander's face. “Princess Diana, I will tell you a secret, but nothing of this news must leak out, otherwise chaos will ensue in the academy.”
Diana put the tea cup down and straightened her body
It was clear that Alexander was about to reveal a dangerous secret
She would be lying if she said she wasn't curious about what Alexander wanted to talk about
“In fact, I was beating the students for a specific goal... which is to eliminate racism.” Alexander said seriously and explained to her about his plan and how he obtained the approval of the Academy Council to implement this plan
“...” Diana opened her red lips but could not find the right words
After a few seconds, she was able to regain her senses and said in shock. "So everything was planned? That explains why the academy didn't intervene in that conflict."
" This is correct."
"But..." Diana hesitated for a moment
Alexander shook his head. “Why did I do all this even though this plan will make all the students mock me and hate me? Is that what you want to ask?”
Diana nodded
Alexander replied. “Do you think there is someone else who will play this role? This is my plan and someone had to do it and that person is me.”
"..." Diana stared at Alexander blankly
Destroy your reputation in order to save the academy
How much courage it took to carry out this plan
The thirty-minute conversation was enough to change Diana's view of Alexander
She felt ashamed because she thought he was a Sadistic bully who liked to bully others
But he was the hero protecting the academy in the shadows
“I...I will participate in establishing the club.” Diana clenched her hands and said forcefully
“Awesome…” Alexander smiled and said excitedly. “In that case, we should begin our plan to gather members for the club. We should find three more students.”
“Don’t you mean seven students?”
Alexander showed the look of a professional. “I was able to convince the academy Council to make an exception for our club. All we need is to find five people to start the club.”
"Oh, that's great." Diana clapped
This is the least they should do to repay the heroic actions of Alexander
Diana said. " What is your plan?."
Alexander put his hand on his chin and said quietly. “I can invite Ner to the club...”
"Ner? You mean Saint?" Diana's eyes opened wide
“We have cooperated together before, so it is not impossible to invite her.”
“This will make our club popular among students.” Diana began thinking of a way to attract more members to their club
“But I don't think this will be enough.” Alexander looked at the ground with a dark expression
"..." Diana knew that Alexander was talking about his bad reputation that would affect their club
Diana tried to motivate him. “I'm sure everyone will realize what a good person you are once they join the club.”
Alexander shook his head lightly. “We need to advertise the club.”
Diana listened intently
“We will print posters to let others know about the club.”
“Yes, I've seen a lot of these posters...” Diana nodded
This was a method often used to promote newly established clubs
Alexander continued hesitantly. " but there is a problem..."
" What is the problem?."
“This...” Alexander closed his eyes for a moment and opened them quickly. “We need money to print posters.”
" how much?." Diana sighed, she thought it was dangerous but it was only about money
She has a lot of it
“I will pay three hundred coins and you will have to pay two hundred and fifty coins.”
“Just this amount? Okay, that won't be a problem. Just give me your bank account.” Diana took out her phone without the slightest hesitation
“...” Alexander looked at her for a moment
She didn't doubt or ask for details.
She transferred the money to his bank account as if she was giving a tip
In fact, the amount for printing the posters was two hundred and fifty coins
He told a small lie in which he convinced Diana that they would share the expenses
He was completely broke now so he had to follow these cheap methods
It was as easy as stealing candy from a child
