He/Heroine And My Villainess

HE/ HEROINE AND MY VILLAINESS

(TOP OF RAVEN)

After four minutes, Alda and Angela then stride out to the Duke's residence in silence. 

Alda locks Lady Cathlen chamber door, and Alda uses the terrace wood ladder to go down without anyone seeing it, while Angela strides back to the hallway to go out to the Duke residence with her horse.

Once Alda got down from the terrace. She then strides close to the barn, where horses live, hiding from all the guards, whose patrolling around her area. 

Alda is inside the barn waiting for a chance to escape with no eyes looking.

"Aiyo, this is hard but,  I don't care," Alda mentions as she peeks through the barn door while listening to the sound outside and observing the people from the inside.

Alda decided not to disguise herself today because she does not feel like doing it. Instead, she demands Angela to help her escape in silence.

"Angela, I'm not going to do a disguise game today," Alda mentions. 

"Huh? But if you don't disguise yourself, everyone will see you," Angela responds with concern. 

"There's no need to fret. I have a plan," Alda replies with a smile. 

"Oh, then, what is your plan, Miss?" Angela ask. 

"Tell the head butler that you will be going out to town for a while to buy the things you need," Alda mentions, making Angela listen to her words with a plain expression. 

"Then, after that, if the head butler permits you. Come back to my room, and together we will escape," 

"I will escape through the wood ladder on my terrace while you stride outside Duke residence at a normal pace with your horse. Make sure you won't cause any suspicions by your behavior," 

"Erm..." Angela whine in nervousness.

"Don't be nervous, let's meet in the backyard in front of the stone door to the garden. Because that's where I will be using to get out to our residence, " Alda continues while Angela also continues listening to her words. 

"Erm... okay, Miss, but if you're not going to do a disguised plan today. Then you mean to say that we're going to ride my horse to get to the Marquis residence?" Angela mentions. 

"Mn, that's the plan," Alda answer. 

"Erm... but I still worried, Miss, there are guards everywhere," Angela speaks out her nervousness to Alda. 

"Aiya, don't worry. We will be careful," Alda responds with an assured smile, making Angela sigh in relief and out of worry. 

Back to the present, Alda saw that all the guards already passes through her location and now far away. So, she took this chance to go out to the barn and hurried towards the Duke gardens to get to the stone door.

When she arrived, Alda then hurried to push open the stone door. Get inside and close the stone door again, leaving no trace of escape.

"Miss!" Angela shouts out to her in relief while she's four meters away from her.

"Ssh! We're still not far from our residence," Alda responds, shushing Angela because they still can be heard outside the residence. 

"I'm sorry, Miss," Angela apologize as Alda went close to where Angela, then leaps up to her horse, making her face the back of Angela. 

"Let go of your horse leash. I will command your horse instead," Alda propose in a firm tone of voice, which made Angela's heart feel a ping warmth emotion. 

"Mn," Angela reply then lend the leash of her horse to Alda. 

"Okay, stay in balance," Alda reminded Angela to maintain her posture and balance in her horse because Alda plans to make her horse run in haste. 

"Mn," Angela answer.

"Okay, let's go," Alda replies while her left hand reaches to Angela's waist, securing her not to fall while they ride away at fast speed. 

"Miss?" Angela called out from surprise as she blushes and felt bashful to Alda unexpected actions.

"Hm? What's wrong?" Alda ask. 

"Em... nothing," Angela answer, but inside her heart, she felt something wrong and weird. 

'What's wrong with me today. Why do I feel something I could not explain?' Angela thought, confused and frustrated.

"Stay in balance, Yah!" Alda reminded, then smack the horse butt with her right foot to start moving and running at fast speed.

The two of them then stride towards the Marquis residence for fifteen minutes. 

On the other side of a place, Mia helps the others. To clean and attend to their master's needs for a while before she goes back to her chamber to the servant's quarter to rest for thirty seconds. 

After that Mia, then changes into comfortable clothes to go out and meet Alda outside the residence. When Mia, done she then went outside her quarter and made her way to the Marquis garden. 

"Haaa," Mia deep sigh as she scanned and wandered her eyes through every corner inside the garden to make sure no one is looking and no one sees her, leaping up to the garden wall to meet someone outside the backyard.

"The goes is clear, let's meet her now," Mia mentions as she saw no one is patrolling around her area, then she leaps up from the garden wall using the skills her parents taught her ever since she was a kid and landed outside the residence, waiting for someone to arrive. 

Mia waits for five minutes outside until the sound of someone else horse can be heard nine meters away from her. She turned her head to the left and wait for the horse sound to get closer.

Not long ago, the sound gets closer, until at last, she saw the expected person she wants to meet tonight. 

"Mia!" Angela shouts out to her childhood friend as they arrived in front of her. 

"What's up," Mia answers while she help Angela to goes down to her horse. 

"Thank you," Angela thanked her as she now on the ground, standing with Alda beside her, who wears a daring smile. 

"Greetings to you, Lady Cathlen. My name is Mia, Angela's childhood friend," Mia introduces herself to Alda, who scanned her up and down.

'She has clement features and a fit body that is good for fighting. Aiyo, I somehow felt jealous,' Alda thought. 

"Miss?" Angela calls her out to her thoughts. Alda, blink three times and jolted her gaze away from Mia, who looks at her puzzled. 

"Are you okay, Miss Cathlen?" Mia asks, concern.

"Uh... hahaha, yes. I am fine. I apologize for spacing out for a while," Alda responds with an awkward laugh. 

"It's fine, Miss Cathlen, come on, let's get inside now," Mia proposes with a gentle smile. 

"Uh, but wait," Alda halts her from walking. 

"What is it, Miss?" Angela ask. 

"I have an important matter for you to check out for a while before we proceed inside," Alda mentions pointing to Mia. 

"Me?" Mia asks with a surprised expression.

"Yes," Alda answer, then continue her words with explanations. 

"Angela told me that the three Knights from Astrod kingdom were here to spy at Lady Vendia, under Prince Adam's command," Alda mentions, which made Mia shocked and frown. 

"The Prince?" Mia ask still processing the information and the name of the person. 

"He did what NOW?" Mia asks, not caring about the formality of her words. 

"After I had done giving the letter to you. Prince Adam, knights Sir Ken, Sir Roy, and Sir Ben, pretend to have to meet me earlier by accident on my way back home. To know my reason upon visiting at the Marquis residence," Angela joined into their conversation. 

"I ask why they know that I went to the Marquis residence earlier, then they answer that they were there spying and waiting for Lady Vendia to arrive back home with her knight, under the Prince's command," Angela explains, which made Mia's blood boil and feel a wave of anger. 

"HOW DARE HE!" Mia burst out from anger. She knows what Vendia has been through, all the Marquis servants know, and they all despised the Prince because of it. Even though the Prince didn't do anything harmful to them, hurting their masters is like harming them all already. 

"Mia," Angela got shocked upon seeing her childhood friend burst into intense anger. 

"Oy, chill out. I still have not finished reciting my request to you," Alda mentions, which made Mia look at her with a frown, making Alda flinch and jolted from surprise.

'Aiyo, aiya, I feel pity for the Prince because before he could step inside the Marquis residence. His head will fall off to his body with no seconds,' Alda thought, feeling sympathy towards Prince Adam but also satisfied, upon knowing that all the Marquis servants despised the Prince so much. 

"What is it," Mia ask within her angry tone of voice, making Angela worried. 

"Mia, calmed down," Angela mentions as Mia turned to face her with a frown and angry expression. 

"I'm sorry, I can't control my anger when I heard the Prince meddling around our Miss life once again. Our Miss suffer a loss and almost lost her life. We can't afford to let that happened again. We all suffer because of it. So I apologize if my behavior cause unpleasant feeling toward you both," Mia mentions within her anxious tone of voice. 

"Aiya, don't worry. I can assure you that what happened before will never happen again," Alda reply which made Mia frown and look at her with an angry feeling.

'Uh... hahaha, I forgot. This body of mine, this character is the reason why, ugh...' Alda thought as she felt awkward and unpleasant towards Mia's gaze at her. Mia deep sigh and calm herself.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to look at you that way, Miss Cathlen. I apologize," Mia mentions with an apologetic tone of voice. 

"Aiya is fine, Jaja," Alda responds with a dry laugh.
