Arisia Lives As A Villainess ✔

Season 2: Chapter 13

Still, I will not do what he wants. I already swore to myself that I will be his villainess.

“Why are you scoffing, my lady?” I almost jerked when I heard Hilda beside me. I did not notice her.

“Hilda, you were there.”

“Kanina pa.” She give me a meaningful smile. Tinaasan ko lamang siya ng kilay.

“Why are you here? Do you have something to report?”

“Yesterday, my lady, I was about to report but you were not here.”

“I was... with some bastard.” Tumikhim ako nang maalala ko ang hindi magandang pangyayari kahapon.

“Oh, don’t be shy, my lady.” Hagikgik niya na nagpasama ng aking timpla. My eyes squinted as if knowing what she is referring about.

“Shy?”

“Everyone knows what happened last night at the center.” Hindi ako nakasagot at napahawak lang sa aking noo.

Of course, all will know. What happened was in the eye of the public, good grief. “The second prince kissed you, right, my lady? Was it good?” Napairap ako.

She and her curiosity.

“Hilda.” I warned her.

“Ah, I’m so envious of my lady. That was romantic.” Pang-aasar niya sa akin kasama ang nakakainis niyang ngiti.

“Hilda.” Pag-uulit ko.

“Why do you react like that, my lady? May gusto ka ba sa pangalawang prinsipe?” Napatigil ako sa kanyang mga sinabi.

“Wala.” Umiling ako. Sumingkit ang mga mata niya sa akin.

It was not that I like him. If he was not just a jerk to me at first and did not pissed me off, I would have like him but he is not my type. Isa pa nahuhumaling lamang ako sa kanyang kagwapuhan. It does not mean that I like him. It goes the same for Rionsky. I am not just made for love. “Wala nga. You are persistent.”

“But that was surely effective, my lady. That rumor about you and the crown prince got swept in an instant. Parang wala na lang ang tsismis na iyon.”

“I see. What about the report?”

“The kind and queen has called for the only princess of Fairoh kingdom to be wed to the crown prince.” Ilang beses akong kumurap.

“What?”

“Chill, my lady.”

“Just go on.”

“It seems that Fairoh and Ronschwald are planning an alliance. They want the crown prince and the princess of Fairoh to be engaged and wedded as a mark of the alliance. The princess will arrive a few days later, a ball will be held and they will announce it.” She explained. I folded my arms as I think about it.

“Does he know?”

“No, my lady. The talk was discussed at a royal room. I was the one who have infiltrated when I investigated.”

“Dalawa lamang ba sila ng reyna?” She nodded.

“Should we inform His Highness, my lady?”

“No.” I shook my head. “He will find out, anyway.” Tumayo na ako at bumalik sa loob nang maramdaman ko ang antok. I went to my chambers and napped.

A blurry image, I can see someone’s build sitting in the sofa. Somehow, he is familiar.

“You awake?” A cold, baritone voice.

Nananaginip ba ako?

Pumikit ako at muling ibinuka ang aking mga mata. A clear vision now greeted me and I realized who the man beside me is. Agad akong bumangon. I threw him a serious look. He just looked at me with a bored face.

This man. He has the audacity to relax at my room.

I cleared my throat.

There is nothing wrong, anyway, since this palace is his but I should at least have a little privacy.

“Kailan ka pa naririto?”

“Since you were sleeping.” Napakunot ang aking noo sa kanyang sinagot.

“Is staring at someone sleeping your habit?”

“It depends on the person.” I rolled my eyes and gulped.

“Like Snow?” Sarkasmo ko.

“Like you.” Ilang beses akong napakurap sa sinabi ni Heiden at napailing. I felt a little shiver. Hindi maipinta ang aking mukha. “Lady Arisia of house di Vonce.” Tuloy niya at ni-klaro pa.

How do I get use to this act of his?

“Stop your pretentious act.” I scoffed. Tumayo na ako at aalis na.

“Wait.” Aniya. Tumigil pa ako at tinignan siya. I even backed a bit when he casually handed me a bouquet of roses. My eyes squinted. “Roses.” He cleared his throat when I just stared at it.

May malalanghap bang lason dito? Or are the thorns poisonous?

“Ayaw ko.” I said in suspicion.

“It is an honor to receive a gift from a prince.” He gently shoved the bouquet to me so I ended up holding it. I silently gritted my teeth. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay nang akmang aalis na siya.

I do not even feel his sincerity. How should I even accept it? Halata naman sa kanyang seryoso at masungit niyang mukha na ayaw niya talaga akong bigyan ng ganito. Well, it is not like there is a difference to his normal, everyday face.

“I do not like it.” I clicked my tongue. Bumaba ang aking tingin sa balot ng rosas at sumingkit ang aking mga mata nang makita ang pinanggalingan nito. Napasinghal ako. “The next time you give me flowers, it should be from a different shop from where your beloved works at.” Our eyes met after. His beast-like eyes stared at me. It may just be me but it looked like he smirked in amusement.

Is anything funny?

“So I should give you flowers next time?” Hindi ako nakasagot. My own words went back at me. I pursed my lips and licked it. Lumunok na lang ako. I ended up bitting my lip in silence. Umirap na ako at padabog na lumabas na. Malakas ang kabog ng aking dibdib nang makalayo na ako. Napatingin muli ako sa aking hawak at itinapon ito.

“Annoying.” I muttered. My body shook as I gritted my teeth.

He is going crazy. No, he already is.
