Reincarnated As The Villainess Of An 18+ Webnovel

63- War

"Carrie..." I hear a voice call out my name.

I open my eyes to see a little boy tied up in chains. His body is covered in scars and rags. A terrible black aura leaks out of his body...

His blood-red eyes meet my green ones...

"Carrie...I missed you" the black aura turns into a thousand arms caressing my face and hugging my entire body.

"I love you so much..."

"Eric...?" I call out his name.

"But why do you keep on running away from me?"

The pitch-black stuff engulfs my entire body.

"I won't let you go." The black arms hug my body tight almost crushing me in them.

"No...Stop! I don't want this!" I scream in fear.

"It's useless, I'll always be yours my beloved" he smiles.

I feel suffocated as my vision fades to black.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!" I scream out loud.
"Milady are you okay???"

Huffing like crazy, I look around to see I'm in my room surrounded by the maids and the doctor.

"Hah...It was only a dream..." I cover my eyes.

"Did you have a bad dream?" The doctor asks.

"Yeah..."

"It's normal after a stressful event." She replies.

"I see."

"Also lady Caroline, there's something I want to ask you about..."

"Yeah sure, go on," I say.

The doctor pauses for a moment and asks the maids to go outside.

And after the maids leave us alone she goes on, "Those wounds on your body...What happened to you?"

My eyes widen at her question.

"Not to mention that your mana levels are exhausted greatly as if you have recently used a high-level spell..." She continues.

My lips start to shiver.

I instantly remember what happened back in Karlos at the mansion...

The food I ate rises up from the pits of my stomach to my mouth.

And I throw up everything...

My whole body feels sick when I think of that incident...

Especially that disgusting knight's grinning face...

My skin crawls when I think of him.

"He tried to rape and kill me..."

"What!?"

"All of them watched coldly...Not a single person helped..."

My whole body shivers weakly.

The doctor doesn't ask any further questions and helps me wash up in the bathroom.

Without me telling her anything, she can already guess how traumatizing it was.
Bringing me to the bed, she gives me a sleeping medicine.

"I don't want to sleep...I get nightmares when I fall asleep" I say covering my eyes.

"But Milady you have to rest! This is not good for your health..." The doctor says strictly.

Then handing me a glass of water and the sleeping medicine, she waits for me to swallow it.

Having no other choice, I take the medicine and fall asleep again.
The doctor gets up and asks to meet the nanny.

"Madam Leona is at the underground chambers right now..." The guard replies.
"Tell her that it's urgent."

"Fine." The guard bows down and leaves.
Then a few moments later, he comes back again with a few other guards.

"Madam has asked you to come with us..."

The doctor follows them to the underground chambers where the nanny was interrogating Nine.

Their faces are grave and serious already...

"Madam the doctor has arrived..." The guard says.

"Yes, doctor I was waiting for you..." The nanny says.

"There something I wanted to discuss with you as well Madam..." The doctor says.

"What is it?"

"It seems that the lady has suffered a greatly traumatizing event...."

"Yes...we already..." The nanny bites her lips.

"WHAT?!" They hear a voice from behind.

They turn around to see it's the Duke of Vorsack.

"You...What did you just say???" His face grows dark.

"Milord...You are back already?" The nanny cries.

"What is the meaning of all this Leona!? What happened to my daughter!??" He screams.

"That...Well...." The doctor averts her gaze in guilt.

"That boy is back..." Leona says.

"Who? Who are you talking about?"

"Eric Arguens...That cursed blooded creature is back!!!"

The nanny explains everything that Nine told her in detail.

How the once Vorsack slave was now the supposed crown prince of Karlos...

And how he kidnapped Caroline last night...

Hearing it all, the Duke's blood rises up to his head.

The dog he bought to be the slave for his daughter...

That dirty dog that wouldn't even be breathing if not for his master...

That boy had the audacity to touch his daughter!??

"I'm sorry it's my fault for letting her go alone that day as well..." She apologized.

"Save your apologies for later Leona..." He replies.

"I have already discussed these matters with the emperor and Rion." His face grows darker.

"Pardon?"

"We have been too careless with that slave..." he bites his lips.

Then grinning wide from ear to ear, his eyes burned with the thirst for blood.

"We will be declaring a war on Karlos"
Gasps of shock filled the room.

"He must have forgotten that Caroline is the daughter of this Duke of Vorsack and the future empress of the kingdom of Rivans..."

"So the messenger was right, you have already started the preparations," The nanny says.

"Yes, you have heard it right! Since he has forgotten his place, I'll make that boy remember it"

"I'll make him grovel down before my daughter's feet because that's where he belongs!"

Those were his final words.
