He/Heroine And My Villainess

HE/HEROINE AND MY VILLAINESS

(THOUSAND TREESS)

"You!" Ken snorts Sir Ben in annoyance. 

"Aiyah, do you want us to get caught?" Ben asks with a smirk. 

"Hemp! Let's go catch up to her!" Sir Ken demand with a firm tone of voice. 

"Nice, let's go!" Sir Ben exclaimed, copying Sir Ken's tone of voice. 

The three of them then stride through where they tied their horse running and ride away in haste to catch up to Angela.

Angela is already thirty meters away from the Marquis residence, and she is now heading back to the Duke residence. Anglea traveled with her horse for fifteen minutes until she then saw the entrance gate to the Duke residence. But before she could get close to the Duke residence, one person with a brown and well-built horse.

Blocking her way, causing her horse to whine, panic, and jump up, which made her out of balance and fall to the ground. Hissing in pain. 

"Ouch..." Angela exclaimed as she holds her butt with a distorted face and stood up at a slow pace. 

"Sorry about that. I didn't think my horse would want to play with your horse," A young man's voice mentions, making Angela gaze up and saw a man who wears a red cloak with a royal emblem to the side. 

Angela got shocked and stuttered from her reply.

"Yo-yo-yo-your," 

"Yes?" 

"Your Pri-prince Adam knight!" Angele mentions. 

"Oh, you guessed it right," 

"You are such a smart young girl, brother. Isn't she smart?" Sir Ben mentions as he pointed his eyes towards the two people at Angela's back who have a pissed-off expression because of him.

"ARE YOU CRAZY? You made her fall to the ground!" Sir Ken complain about Sir Ben's actions a minute ago. 

"Eish! You always ruined the meaning of surprised," Sir Ben reply. 

"What? You call that surprised?" Sir Ken shout in anger.

"Aiyo, why you always talk to me like that, do you like Miss Angela by chance?" Sir Ben reply, making Angela blush and lower her head in embarrassment. 

"What? ARE YOU CRAZY?" Sir Ken puffs from anger.

"Aigo, there's no need to be shy about it," Sir Ben mentions teasing Sir Ken more.

"You, why are you still outside roaming around like a lost dog?" Sir Roy asks, which made the three people surprised and lost. Angela looks at Sir Roy with a confused expression. 

"Are you talking about me?" Angela asks as she saw Sir Roy looking at him with a plain expression. 

"Who should I talk to then," Sir Roy reply with a rude tone of voice, which made Angela bothered and felt offended. 

"You can talk to me and ask me. There's no need for you to use a rude tone over me. I may be a servant, but I am also a person who has mind, body, and heart," Angela mentions, making the three-person surprised for a second. 

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you about my words," Sir Roy blurt out, only realize the tone of his voice is not pleasing. He felt guilty and sorry. 

"Aiyah, let us take it from here, Roy," Sir Ben shouldered Sir Roy. 

"No, Miss Angela. I apologize for what I respond to you. My voice is always like this. I sometimes didn't realize the way I speak out my words. So I apologize for sounding rude to you," Sir Roy mentions, making Angela sigh then smile. 

"It's okay. I accept your apology, Sir Roy," Angela responded.

"Okay, enough with this and that. Let me get straight to the point. We came here for a reason," Sir Ken mentions, which made Angela gaze at him with a curious expression. 

"What is it?" 

"You, why you went to the Marquis residence," Sir Ken ask, making Angela shocked and scared. Angela blinks her eyes three times as her heart beats fast from nervousness.

"Yo-you saw me?" She stutter. 

"Yes, we saw you," Sir Ben joined in with a plain face. 

"Why you guys saw me," Anglea pauses her words as she gasps and suspects something. 

"Did you guys also went to the Marquis residence too?" Angela ask. 

"Yes, we do," Sir Roy reply.

"Oh, what did you guys do there?" 

"We only look out for Lady Vendia to arrived back home. So we then can inform Prince Adam about her safe arrival," Sir Roy explains. 

"Ahh, so that's why," Angela nods with her right hand touching her chin like a detective. 

"Yes," 

"Why would the Prince want to know if Lady Vendia got arrived back home and safe," Angela asked, still curious. 

"That's something we can't tell you about," Sir Ken inserted before Sir Roy could expound and answer Angela's question.

"Oh, I understand. I'm sorry, I am such a nosy person," Angela responded. 

"That's okay, so what is your reason for visiting the Marquis residence?" Sir Ben asks, making Angela faltered. 

"O-oh, about that, I went to the Marquis residence because I want to visit my childhood friend who also works as a maid inside the Marquis residence, her name is Mia," Angela speaks out her lie reasoned.

"You have a childhood friend who works at the Marquis residence?" Sir Roy asks. 

"Yes, I do," Angela answer with a forced smile as an invincible sweat gathered from her forehead because of the nervousness she felt inside.

"Is she one of Lady Vendia maids?" Sir Ken asks. 

"No, my friend Mia didn't serve any masters. She's an all-around servant," Angela answer. 

"Oh, I thought all servants have a duty inside their residence," Sir Ben mentions. 

"No, even in the Duke residence. Not all servants are qualified to serve and do the hard stuff for their master," Angela mentions, making the other person nod and understand their kind of work failed.

"Is that so," Sir Ken reply with still suspicious feeling.

"Is that you all want to ask? I need to go back inside now and tend to my Miss needs," Angela mentions. 

"Yes, that is all," Sir Ken reply with a gentle smile.

"Okay, I will go now," Anglea responds as she leaps up back to her horse with no problem, then rides further close to the Duke residence entrance gate, leaving the three people staring at her figure fading from their vision. 

"Are you satisfied with her answer?" Sir Ben. 

"No, but we don't need to worry about that much," Sir Ken reply. 

"Are you sure?" Sir Ben asks for assurance. 

"Yes, her case is simple. There's no need for us to fret and worry," Sir Ken explains. 

"Okay, if you say so," 

"Emn, let's go back to the castle now and inform Prince Adam," Sir Ken respond. 

And the three of them then turned around to where the Astrod kingdom is heading, then ride away in haste, so they can in from Prince Adam that Lady Vendia has now arrived back home.

Back to the Duke residence, Angela is now striding to the hallway so she can get to Lady Cathlen chamber for two seconds. 

When she arrived, Angela then knocks on the door, and the entrance door then opens in haste revealing Alda impatient expression. 

"Inside, hurry," Alda pace demand and Angela nod in haste then get inside. 

Alda closed the door then lock it so no one can enter. 

"What did Mia say?" Alda asks as she still felt the same emotions and feeling from earlier. 

"Mia, reply that she will do it and that you need to wait at the Marquis residence back yard," Angela delivered all the words Mia says to her as Alda sigh in relief then reply. 

"I see, that's good to hear," 

"And, I also meet Prince Adam knight," Angela mention, which made Alda surprised and felt something wrong. 

"You meet his knight?" Alda ask. 

"Yes, I meet Sir Ken alongside Sir Ben and Sir Roy before I get back home," Angela responded. 

'So, that's the name of his knights whom he ordered to spy to me,' Alda thought. 

"At first, I got surprised and scared because they saw me hanging around the Marquis residence," Anglea mentions, which made Alda jolted from shock and fear. 

"You, they," 

"Ah, don't worry, Miss, I lied to them. They ask me why I went to the Marquis residence. And I replied that I visit my childhood friend, named Mia," Angela explain in haste, making Alda sigh in relief. 

"That's good then, but how come they know that you visit the Marquis residence?" Alda asks, curious. 

"I ask them the same question, and they answer me that they also went to the Marquis residence to wait and see if Lady Vendia already arrived safe to the Marquis residence," Angela explained, and Alda felt like something do felt wrong and suspicious.

'If he ordered his knight to monitor Vendia arrival, then that could only mean that he planted three bugs inside the Marquis residence. This, Prince, what does he want now! Why he planted a spy into the Marquis residence?' Alda thought, annoyed and somehow nervous. 

Alda walks over to her bed while biting her nails with no clue that she bites her nails. Angela saw her bother expression again and strange behavior again. 

"Miss..." Angela called out to her, nervous and worried, but Alda didn't reply as she continues walking back in forth while biting her nails out without knowing.

'If I go to Yerre right now, that three knights would also be... no. I don't care. I want to see Yerre. If they get in the way, then I will,' Alda pauses her thought as she jolted awake and realizes what she's been thinking. Alda halted from walking and held her forehead up, chuckling in a playful tone of voice.

"What am I thinking. This behavior if I show this kind of behavior to Yerre," 

'She will get scared,' Alda thought as she let go of her forehead, then a deep sigh.

"Miss?" Angela calls in anxious and worry.

"I need to control my emotions and my mind. This kind of behavior is not good for both of us," Alda utter in silence while she bites her index nails with a disturbing expression.
