Acting Villainess [Hiatus]

Chapter 16

As much as I like to go and return home, I can't. Why? because---

"My Lady! have you about--"

Yeah, its because of them, the daughters of the noble families in this empire. As soon as I arrived, I left the crown prince's side and look for a chair to sit on, I found this cushioned bench far away from the center, I thought that no body would not notice me. Not until one lady comes after another...

I didn't speak to them and I just look around while sipping on my wine.

As my eyes search the whole area, my eyes twitched the moment I saw a familiar symbol on top of someone's head.

A black haired man with stunning ocean eyes, thin kissable lips and eyebrows that is currently knotted while he's glaring at me.

Wait what?

I blinked and the guy was glaring at me. What did I just do? I haven't even done anything!

I avoided him and looked for someone else. Vaughn is outside with my carriage, he is not allowed inside because he has sword with him.

Why is Vaughn's route triggering now? He's not inside of the main palace?

Even though I want to decline it, Vaughn is most likely the capture target who will kill me anytime soon. So I clicked yes to proceed, I hope I can get atleast 2% from this mission...

My eyes twinkled the moment I saw that 5%, damn boi, yo need to do this task real well! I even clapped inside of my head.

I love you system! Thank you for the 5%! But haha, save Vaughn from what?

Before I can even blink, I was already transported to...

The Palace's hunting grounds!?

What the hell is Vaughn doing here?! He should be in the palace's stables taking care of the horse and inspecting my carriage!

My goodness! Gone!

My body instinctively lower itself the moment I saw some shadows not that far from me.

"Find the princess's guard! We need to kill him before we kill the girl!"

A man dressed in an all black attire shouted at his comrades. They were holding a dagger in both of their hands, the more that I look at their daggers, I saw a pattern. It looks like a fidget spinner but the edges were like blades.

Is that an emblem of a noble house?

I thought as I continue on watching their every moves, they are looking everywhere around them while the man who looks like their leader gave orders to his three comrades which I think is to search for Vaughn on the other side of the forest.
