Hellia's Pov

This chapter will surely be a...surprise. Read on to know why~
•─────⋅☾ ✦✧✦ ☽⋅─────•

Alistair...you better watch out! I'm coming for you...Ehehe~ You'll regret messing with me, & I'll make sure of that! Just you watch~ MWAHAHAHA!

{A/N: Warning ⚠️Yandere⚠️ Alert 📢}

Hm? Out of the corner of my eye, I could see the prince coming towards me. Why...is he coming here?!

Noooooooo! What is he doing? Next to me...the villainess!  Did I accidentally trigger a flag!?

I was panicking, my inner self was in complete turmoil & I was nervous but I kept an emotionless poker face.

Countless different thoughts ran through my mind as I lifted the corners of my mouth to speak.

"Greetings to his highness, this daughter of a Duke greets you." I curtsy, reciting a line the original Hellia has said so much times.

"Mhmm~ You may rise, what's your name?"

I straightened by self and glanced at him strangely.

...Dude, you just asked my father that a moment ago.  But I admire your guts.

I put up a smile & pray strongly to God to give me strength so I can overcome this as I reply half-heartedly to the prince. "It's Hellia, your highness."

"What's yours?" I ask, much to his surprise. Alistair's family had shocked expressions which I found extremely entertaining.

I played this otome game when I was 15 years old, & I died when I was 25...so  it's been 10 years.

This otoge wasn't my favourite nor the worst. No wonder, I don't remember the Prince's name. Was it, Ree...a? {A/N: So...close!}

Ah, Ria! I think that's what it was?

"...It's Reagan." The Prince answered, seemingly sad.

Oh. I thought it was Ria for sure, though...I smiled & noticed his seemingly sad face. What's wrong with him?

Then the room was silent, suffocatingly so. Okay, it's offical. This is...awkward. I wanted to leave, but I couldn't. I was in the presence of a prince! I sighed.

Just how, do I get away from all this drama...?

"Lady Hellia, may I talk to you privately?" Reagan asked stiffly. I nodded. Its not like I can refuse. "Lead the way." I told him.

I followed the Prince. I didn't know where I was going but if he tried to do anything, I was ready to take him down. Royalty or not.

Reagan took me down prolonged halls. Where is he taking me...? I wondered.

Distracted by my thoughts the Prince suddenly halted. I nearly bumped into him but I paused myself right before doing so. Why did he stop?

"This should be good enough..." He muttered. I narrowed my eyes at him. What for? I was starting to get suspicious.
