The Villainess's Good End (On Haitus)

|04|

^^ Albert Clove ^^

"Prince Albert?" I asked.

After he had run off, I had to go find him, I couldn't very well go back without my fiancée.

"Damn that brat." I grumbled, thinking no one was around.

"Is that anyway for a child to talk~" a voice said from behind me.

Out of pure habit, I spun around as fast as possible and scanned the area.

"My, you really havent changed~" the voice said again.

This time I heard exactly where it came form.

I looked by the pillars along the wall, I had to give it to them; that was an ideal hiding spot.

The pillars cast a large shadow over it's area and the size makes it easy for someone to hide behind it.

Glowing red eyes caught my attention, the gaze piercing through te shadows.

Slowly, I approached the figure, trying to do any form of defence I remember from my past life in this small body.

"Who are you?" I said in a makeshift threatening voice.

When I didn't get an answer, I went deeper into the shadows until I came face to face with the glowing red eyes.

A sort of sound escaped from they're lips.

"Right now, you know me as Akuma." It said.

Akuma?! That's the hidden routes capture target, what is he doing here?

He doesn't appear in any of the routes until you unlock his and even then, it's taken place more in demon territory.

He's not supposed to be here!

"You're probably wondering what I'm doing in another route, away from the hidden targets territory?"

The more I stepped into the shadows, the clearer he became.

An honestly, he looks just like my life sized body pillow of him, my favourite character.

My eyes widened and it felt as if a huge amount of pressure was starting to push me down.

"Ha ha~ you really never change~" he said again.

I didn't respond, just stayed silent.

"Well, we'll be seeing more of each other soon~"

And with that, he vanished.

A second later, some of the shade disappeared and I heard some footsteps.

I looked to see who it was, and it was the person I had been looking for before I got sidetracked.

"You really shouldn't just leave like that!" I'd get scolded if you did!

"Sorry," he mumbled.

"Its fine, anyways, shall we head back?" I asked.

He nodded excitedly and we began walking in the direction of the throne room.

"Come on!" I smiled and held his hand.

God, I hope he doesn't hate me.

Oh shit!

I just remembered that I hit him.

Am I going to get executed because I hit him?!

No! No! No!

I didn't mean to!

I was caught up in the moment and the adrenaline made me do it.

Shitshitshitshishit.

FUCK EVERYTHING.

Soon enough, we arrived at the three room while still holing hands.

The doors opened, revealing father and the king sitting by a very luxurious couch and talking.

"Father, your highness." I tried—but failed—to curtsy again.

"Oh! You're back." They both said.

"So son, will you accept her to be your fiancée?" The king asked, although no matter what Albert answered, we still would be engaged.

"Yes father, I would like to be engaged to Lady Claire." He said.

NANI?

At least he doesn't resent me.

The king himself also seemed surprise, probably because he as being polit for the first time in his life.

"Very well."

"Claire dear," father said.

Its been about a week since we went to the palace and today, father called me into his study, he said he had something important to say.

"Yes daddy?" I said as childlike as I could.

"Since you're going to be marrying the prince, I have brought a child from the local orphanage who has an affinity for magic to be your new brother as well as te heir."

No . . .

Don't tell me it's . . .

"His name is Liam."

SHIT!
