[Part 2] Death Is The Only Ending For The Villain (FOR OFFLINE READING PURPOSE)

Emily left the mansion as soon as dawn breaks, as instructed. I came out of the mansion with two guards behind. It was more frustrating to stay inside the room than to be watched.
Unlike my gloomy heart, the sky was bright like a lie. Last night, I felt dizzy, perhaps because I didn't sleep a wink.

Going around the building, I headed to the glass greenhouse. The guards opened the glass door with a quick gesture and stood on both sides of the entrance.

'Am I a prisoner?'

I was staring at them with cold eyes, and soon I sighed and entered through the glass door. "Don't let anyone in."

I ordered as I passed by before closing the door. It was the night before the storm, but I didn't want to ruin it by running into the wandering 'real princess'. It was annoying that two big guards followed behind, but it was good to be able to prevent this.

I walked inside the greenhouse. The glass greenhouse is full of colorful and mysterious flowers, but it didn't really catch my eye.

Finally, I stopped at a seat by the corner. Small, white wild flowers bloomed gently among the green grass. It was the bouquet of flowers that Eclise had picked up for me the other day, and that he had plucked flowers for me and made a flower crown. I looked down at them for a moment with an expressionless face standing in front of them, and soon lay flat on it

Smiling at the flowers, I whispered, "You're the only one." A few days later, I received a flower crown. 'And I was full of hope that the escape was coming soon.'

But now all those things felt distant. Slowly blinking, I soon closed my eyes completely. 'I'm tired…'

It was quiet everywhere. I seemed to be falling asleep, but I couldn't fall asleep completely. I sighed and lifted one arm and covered my eyes.

It wasn't just a nap or awakening with eyes closed, it was like floating somewhere in my chaotic consciousness.

Click-.

I suddenly felt a faint presence of someone. It was the sound of the door opening. 'I'm sure I told them not to let anyone in.'

Eyes covered with my arms frowned. I got up and thought I'd fire the one who disobeyed my order, but I just gave up. Even I was annoyed by his noisy body.

Jabbuck, Jabbuck—.

I could hear the sound of the intruder's feet coming to me without hesitation, whether they were willing to hide their presence or not.

'Guards? Or is it Emily?'

In a rather hurried walk, I had got the dedicated maid I had sent to the White Rabbit this morning. I was curious what kind of answer she had from Vinter.

'If he refused to the end, things would bother me.'

By the time I was wondering what to do with the remaining two days if he finally refused.

Jabbuck-.

The step of someone approaching suddenly stopped beside me. I uttered irritably, covering my eyes with my arms.

"I have already told you not to let anyone in."

"Does anyone includes members of the Imperial family?" (Tl: *screams internally*)

But the returned voice belonged to a totally unexpected man.

I lowered my arm. The sudden flash of light made my eyes ache. A brilliant golden color, and a red ruby shone through the darkness.

"…Callisto?"

Am I still half-asleep? I was staring blankly at the intruder before me. Suddenly a pair of red rubies came very close. The hairs tickled the forehead, as if they were almost golden.
