The Villainess

Chapter 13

JULIETTE

I woke up without getting a wink of sleep at all... I don't even get a wink and then I woke up? I'm so stupid... I get up with my disheveled hair. I walk towards my table and brush my hair looking at myself in front of the mirror.

I am definitely beautiful with my silver hair and violet eyes... But as I recall the prince hates my silver hair like an old man or woman and my terrifying violet eyes that only my family have. I don't know but why is it going this way... The prince is giving me clues that he's falling for me which should not happen...

I'm not dense...

I already feel sorry for the author because I'm changing the plot of the story and I'm praying to saints to make the prince go away from me. Yet why is this happening!?

I put my brush down and sigh.

Today I need to see the queen's condition under the king's order and of course because of the deal. I went to my closet and pick my dress for today when I go to the castle. I know that my maids should tend to me.

But I woke up earlier than them, it doesn't bother me when no one tends to me. I'm better off alone. That way I can relax. I walk into the bathroom and prepare to take a bath. I filled the tub with water and then put a nice fragrance into it.

It is Lavander.

I stayed there and relax a bit. But when I was about to doze off, the bathroom door suddenly opened.

"My lady!!!" Elsie exclaimed as she looks at me in horror. She was also out of breath as if she ran a thousand miles.

"What?" I said tilting my head to my right side.

"Why are you up so early? You should've called for me so I can tend to you." She said clutching her chest.

"I am okay. It's okay if you do not tend to me." I smiled at her.

"Well, that's not possible miss! I am a maid and it is my job to make everything comfortable to miss!" She said pouting. I chuckled upon seeing her cute cheeks.

"You're a family, not a maid. Everyone in Fitoria estate is a family, not a servant got it?"

She was about to say something when I Shush her and continue my nice time in the tub. When I finished. I wore the dress that I picked for myself.

I braided my butt-length hair after I brushed it. Then Elsie kept on nagging me to put at least light makeup on my face. Since she said at least light make-up. I agreed to it. I look horrible with a cake-up face. So I'm not really fond of makeup.

"Elsie, please tell them to prepare the carriage," I said as I kept on looking at my face, looking if some of my makeup is smudge off.

She bowed and then walk away. So I am the only one in my room right now. I stand up and walk towards the closet. I hid my supposed to be weapons here wrapped up in a clean cloth. The things are only small so they perfectly fit the shoulder bag I have.

A bag that I requested to be made in a boutique and the design is made by me. Elsie was so shocked and amazed by it so I requested to make another one for Elsie.

"My lady, the carriage is ready," Elsie informed. I stood up and started to walk out of my room.

The coachman offered his hand for me to get in the carriage and I smiled at him. They closed the door and both Elsie and the coachman went in front to get started. I insisted on letting Elsie with me inside but she's so stubborn as a rock!

So in the end. She ended up sitting in front of the coachman...

***

Our ride just took 30 minutes since we are a little bit close to the castle. I went out of the carriage and a man with so luxurious attire welcomed me.

"Greetings my lady. I am Chris Amoral, the prince's right-hand man."

It is indeed Elsie's love interest. I look back and saw Elsie blushing like a tomato.

Chris is a very kind man with blonde hair and green orbs. And on top of that a Marquis, and the top student of Assassin Academy. Who wouldn't fall for such a guy? If I could I'll marry him instead of the prince. But that'll make Elsie sad.

So Nah...

And he doesn't meet my standards as a man. Maybe like the prince but not exactly the prince. Yes of course I love bad boys but I am not into a sadist, like the prince. And cold too...

"Lead the way," I said and he smiled at me and make way for me.

For I assume towards the Queen's chamber. The Queen is currently locked up in a tower where only healers and royalty members can enter.

We are almost on the top and I can hear a woman's cough. It must be the Queen. Chris gestured me to enter and so I did. I enter and saw a large bed with a very thin layer of cloth covering the whole bed.

I went in and saw the Queen is in pain. She is covered in sweat and her wounds are bleeding. She is indeed in a critical condition right now...

"Who?" the Queen murmured without opening her eyes.

"I am Juliette, your majesty," I said and curtsy in front of the Queen.

"Juliette? My son's fiancé-- *cough cough*"

I rub the Queen's back and she stopped coughing.

"What are you doing here child? You must get out. Or I will get you infected. 3 maids are already in the same situation as I am right now."

"I will cure you Your Majesty so please hold on."

I take out the mask and then take out the pain-relieving creams. I apply the calamine lotion on her majesty's skin. And then next is I put pain-relieving creams on the wounds.

"I feel light now... And my wounds do not hurt anymore."

"That's great Your Majesty. I will be nursing you from now on."

And I bet I'll lose this battle...
