The Villainess

Chapter 5

JULIETTE

After the incident in the forest. I just found myself in the house, father, brother, and Elsie is surrounding me.

"My Lady!"

"Juliette!"

"My Daughter!"

All of them said in unison. I rub my temple when I suddenly felt my head spinning. It's like my head is being hit by a hammer.

"My daughter! Are you all right!? Are you hurt!? Tell father if you feel any pain and I will definitely make the pain away."

My father worriedly said. I felt guilty all of a sudden. If I didn't escape none of this will happen. Father, brother, and Elsie wouldn't worry.

I suddenly remember the dangerous prince. He was badly injured because of me!

"Father! The prince!? Is the prince all right!? Is he already okay!?" I worriedly asked. He risked his life just to save me...

I get up from the bed and went into my walk-in closet and picked a gown that is easy to wear.

I ignored my father who is yelling at me to stop but as I said I paid no attention to him.

My health is not important right now, it is the dangerous Prince's life.

I told the man of the carriage to go to the royal palace, he was hesitant at first but when I showed him my impatient expression he obediently obey.

When I reached the palace gates, the guards are not letting me in.

"Make way this instance! Do you want to get your heads to be cut off!?" I impatiently shouted making all of them flinch.

"My lady, you're not allowed to come in without the permission of the king or any of the royal family members."

I grew angrier and get the collar of the guard's uniform. I have never been this angry not even when my boyfriend left me in the modern world.

"You will let me in or I will enter using a drastic measure!? I only wanted to see how the crown prince is doing so, please!! Let me in..." I plead and get teared up.

I saw how the guard gulp a couple of times and avoid my gaze. A guard went to him and whispered something to the other guard.

His face lit up and he looked at me.

"My lady you are free to go in now." It's as if I won the whole world so I didn't waste any seconds and run inside.

I went to the crown prince's room and I saw him wearing a pained expression and breathing so heavily.

I went near him and wipe away the beads of sweat on his forehead. He shouldn't have protected me...

But I'm thankful he did. But he's hurt. And I can't forgive myself for it. I sat on the chair beside his bed and took his hand in mine.

Though I hate him I'm not the kind of girl who will just let the person I hate die.

Thank goodness the bleeding stopped but I bet it hurts a lot. The door suddenly opened and the King went in.

I felt myself gets pale. I stood up and curtsy at the King's front.

"Y-your Majesty, I am willing to take any punishment but please don't blame my family for this. It is my fault so this servant will agree to any punishment you will decide."

I'm ready for a slap, torture, and swear from the King but none of it occurred. I didn't dare to look up so I remained my head down.

A few seconds and I felt a hand on my head. My eyes widened in shock when I just realized that the King is petting me.

"Silly girl, it is only natural for your future husband to protect you. It is his decision whether he will protect you or not and he decided to save you. It means he's ready to get hurt just to save you."

If I don't know the future ahead I would get red from this but in my case, it is not needed.

The day after the engagement party, the prince will be in love with Anna. The protagonist of the story.

So, during the talk between my family and the prince's family. I would break off the engagement and treat the Queen's sickness.

"Don't worry about your fiance, he will survive. It is nothing compared to his wounds after the last war." Said the King.

"Your Majesty, how is Her Majesty the Queen doing?" I said changing the topic.

"Not well, she's still coughing and has a cold. She's burning up too. And her skin has a lot of bruises too because she always scratches the small round thing on her skin."

The Queen's health is getting worst. Maybe I should do it now? No... I will do it during the family meeting. Before the engagement party...

"I hope she'll get well soon Your Majesty."

"Thank you for wishing her great health." The king said and left the room. Leaving me and the unconscious prince alone.

I sat again on the chair and wipe the sweat on the prince's face again. I took his hand and intertwined it with mine.

"Just a little more time and you will be free from me. You will be happy and marry the girl you love. Isn't that exciting? And me? I will be a commoner. I know it's stupid but it is my goal from the start. Anyways get well soon and get ready for the bomb that I will throw before the engagement party."

I said and stood up with a wide smile plastered on my face. With an extra humming.

...

"Anyways get well soon and get ready for the bomb that I will throw before the engagement party."

When I heard the door of my room closed, I immediately opened my eyes and looked at the door she used to get out.

She...

Juliette Margaret Fitoria...

As the others said, she did change a lot. I know she was an evil brat but now she suddenly changed...

She's...

Interesting...
