She Becomes A Passive Villainess-NOT!

Happy Wife, Happy Life

After Adira had her fill and Casimir had his—of observing and just watching his happy little ball of sunshine gobbling up her dessert—they returned back to the palace.

He warned Adira that the person they were going to meet could be the person that harbored ill will of her and she nodded in response.

I mean, with Iris' constant attacks, another enemy isn't that much different.

"You'll be with me, right? So I have nothing to fear." Who would even dare antagonize you? I really would like to see one try.

Casimir was itching to lay claim on those pink little cherry lips but decided against it and reeled it in. There should be a right time and place for everything. It's also against the law.

And most importantly, he doesn't know where he stands in Adira's life.

Sure they were bethroted but that was because he wanted that. They became closer also because he wanted that. He became Heise's father, yep, because he wanted that. He became involved in her life—a part of her everyday—because that was what he wanted.

But what does Adira want?

All this time, he's been basically forcing his way in. Purposely trying to make her jealous and trigger whatever emotion he could get from her—which took a really long time—by letting the Latifolia girl get as close as she got.

But was it really Adira's own heart? Or did he force what he wanted too much and he was only fooling himself? Because it has been a while, but Adira didn't seem to get along well with Iris.

Is she mad because the girl was sticking close to me? Or is it the girl herself?

Anything that involved Adira, Casimir just can't seem to be confident in the answers he formulates nor read and understand this sprightly beautiful goddess.

She was always the uncertainty or irregularity in his world of patterns and predetermined actions. She was an irregular ball of light shining down on his otherwise dull world.

"Adira—"

"Oh! Your highness, Lady Adira! You're together. Again. You know, Your Highness? Sometimes I wonder if you were a stalker from your past life." William, who happened to pass by and found the two of them, decided to walk closer and greeted them.

Actually, he's still a prince, William.

As usual, very oblivious to Casimir's chilling agitation, William voiced his thoughts and pulled a lame joke on Casimir that didn't elicit a laugh nor a smile but only an icy glare.

Adira turned to him and greeted him back, as friendly as she could, with a slight bow.

"Good day, Lord Blackwood."

"What are you two doing?" He asked.

"Well, umm, we're here to interrogate someone." Adira, after briefly checking Casimir's current mood, answered honestly. This person was Casimir's aide and if he trusted him, there's no reason she shouldn't.

"What do you want?"

"Nothing really. I just happened to see you two and decided to greet you."

"Go away." Casimir icily chased him off and glared daggers at this thickheaded idiot.

"But why? Maybe I can be of help for this interrogation thing you're about to do. I know a lot of methods with varied paraphernalias!

I'm a master in this field! You can use me and we'll extract whatever information you want in less than a minute!" William vauntingly tried to sell out his skills, not to the prince but, to the Lady Adira.
