The Villainess

Chapter 10

JULIETTE

We are already inside the castle and are currently walking our way to the King's garden.

I don't know but I feel like this is a deja vu from my very own memory. Back when I was still a scientist.

Though my memory from my past is kind of a haze. But I'm really sure it's a deja vu.

"We have already arrived My Lord, My Lady." The palace maid informed us and continue to lead the way.

Honestly, can they just say it when we specifically have arrived at the specific destination?

They're making my heart jump out from my chest in mid-time when we're not literally in the specific place...

As I walk through the garden with my father beside me. I can't help myself from admiring the beautiful garden.

The flowers, the butterflies flying around the garden as if they're fooling around like a child.

Though I feel bad for them...

Why?

Because there's a lot of cats in this palace. Add to that those people who like to catch those poor cute little butterflies then they will put them in a frame then they will decorate it!!

I sigh at what I thought which is entirely true...

"What's wrong?" Father said. I look at him then smile.

"Nothing papa. I'm just... Excited..." I said emphasizing the exciting part. Though I am really excited and a little bit nervous.

But I got everything under my control. I can't let this chance pass. And of course my freedom.

As I look ahead of our route. I saw a man sitting in a glamorous golden chair while sipping at his expensive little teacup.

Which, I presume the KING...

OH NO!? what should I do!?

"Greet..." My father said behind me. I look at him and he's looking at me too. So basically we're looking at each other XD.

"Greetings Your Majesty, I Juliette and my Father Claude Greets Your Majesty and wish to live a long life," I said.

Okay? I'm not really fond of greetings so I just made that in my mind just this moment...

"My child, no need for the formalities. Come and take a seat. My son Leon will be here shortly." The king said.

Maids pulled our chair so we could sit across the King. I look up and see the King drinking the tea in Joy.

The King has a long white beard. He has a pair of gorgeous ocean eyes and a few gray strands of hair can already be seen.

"It is such a long time I saw your daughter my friend, she grew up to be so beautiful."

A/N: Hello? Is this FBI?

"I agree your Majesty. She begins to look so much like her mother." My Father the duke said while he stare at me.

I know that it is still painful for my father about how mom left us. Not because of man but she fell ill when she gave birth to me.

Because in the first place her body can't bear a lot of children. But mother wants a daughter. Unfortunately, she gave birth to my older brother.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't love my brother. After giving birth to my brother she fell ill. And the doctors said to her that she have to avoid getting pregnant again.

But who knows that mother would be pregnant again after a month...

Sigh...

Thus she got pregnant with me. It was hard for her when she's having me because her body is just starting to heal from the previous child's birth.

Thankfully she gave birth to me successfully after 9 months. But behind of the successful labor. She got very ill to the point she needs to be taken care of 24/7.

Because mom suddenly got paralyzed. Her lower body cannot be moved by her and we don't know why.

I mean they don't know why because I am just borrowing Juliette's body right now.

Mom didn't cry at all. Instead of being sad. She focuses her all attention on me and my brother.

So that's the time Juliette is still kind and the kingdom's angel. And then her mother died when she was seven.

That's where all the rebellion started...

"My, did I bring some bad memories?" The king asked. Father look at the King and smiled.

"No, no. Not at all, Your Majesty."

Though I know that deep inside my father still feels so much grief because of mother's death.

Ahh! If I can just punch this old man across me! I really appreciate him calling me beautiful, ah! Father brings bad memories by himself...

His Majesty just called me beautiful and Dad said I look a lot like mother. So that brings grief to himself...

"Lady Juliette, how are you?" Suddenly the King asked.

I look at him and smiled.

"I am well Your Majesty," I said and bow my head a little.

"That's good. That son of mine is really late! I'm getting impatient!" The King said.

That's even much better!

If the prince doesn't come, that means that the prince doesn't want to marry me! Instead, the king will be forced to set me free!

Isn't that good!

I really look forward to what will happen hihihi~

Deep in my thoughts, something just appear behind my back and kiss me on my cheeks.

"I have arrived Father..."

No way!?
