He/Heroine And My Villainess

HE/HEROINE AND MY VILLAINESS

(THE PLUCK OF IT'S FLOWS)

The world is curling and the days are uplifting, but some were only starting to take their turn to reign. Alda woke up early, and with Angela's help, she dresses in simple attire for the voyage. 

After her preparation, she then instructs Angela to send a letter she made a while ago for Yerre today and tomorrow while she is away, making Angela wonder and felt something is going on. But she didn't ask because she is only a mere servant. She is not allowed to bargain into further information that their master is hiding.

All she can do is be obedient, do the task are given, and be home unharmed. Even though she is worried and desperate to know what is going on, she could not bring herself to figured and be indulged in it. Some things are not worth knowing, for it is only for your good being. Knowing more than what they made you understand, see and know, makes you lost to the battle of helplessness.

Angela nod with determination and confidence with a flush smile engrave on her face. But her heart is screaming with worries and unpleasant feelings. Alda patted Angela's shoulder as she smiles back at her, feeling glad and grateful for having such a trustworthy friend in this world, whom she can count on in crisis and emergency.

Even though she knows, someday she might break their relationship as a friend because of their circumstances. Alda still felt thankful to let this woman inside her new life inside this book. But her feelings didn't last upon remembering that she lied to her precious person in this book, her world, best friend, and lover, Yerre. Her heartfelt turmoil and torture. 

Guilt starts to eat her mind and heart. But Alda could not waver.  She shakes brush her thought about Yerre. Alda has to become metal. 

Alda convinces herself that she must not turn into soft cotton about these fatal matters, or the worst outcomes will come if she let go and become vulnerable to this situation.

She must take courage into her decisions. She must not turn back. No matter how dangerous and unassured the road through it. She has to do this, or else this mere feeling of pain inside her heart. Will be much worst when her lover was not warmer in her arms anymore. 

She could not take to see Yerre lifeless figure. She could not bear it if she loses Yerre. She could never take it, so she will do everything in her power to not let it happened. In order so, she has to dwell in a battle and made a sacrifice to pulled out and kill the poison seeds inside the beautiful growing flower.

She has to take a stand, and the first step is to risk herself. Alda doesn't know what is coming for her when she enters the Voldrone land. She is unaware of all the environment inside. All that she knows is that she must take caution and alertness in the air. Her enemy is an animal who could take action and bit her at any minute. 

Take her soul away with no one even seeing and knowing, like a rat who steals food and move faster than a slot. A rat who goes anywhere with her eyes closed, an enemy who knows nothing but righteousness but has no clear understanding of it. 

She does her work according to her belief and judgment. But she does not know the consequences of it. She was unaware, but she does not care. For some reason, all she wants is a balance of the world to be in place. 

Her belief makes her blind and selfish from the other person's perspective. But for her, all the things she did are only proper because she's putting things in order. 

Alda goes out of her chamber with eyes full of selflessness and courage. She strides to the hallway with Angela, heading towards the dining room full of confidence and positive vibes. 

She convinces herself not to think of anything anymore and only focuses on her goal until she achieves it all and comes home from Voldrone land. 

Upon entering the dining, Angela then left her to do the task that she gives to her. She smiles as she greets all the servants and Lady Cathlen parents with an angelic expression. Duchess Aerwen look at her attired and got shocked as she asks.

"You are not wearing a dress today?" 

Alda look at her then gives out a sincere smile as she replies. 

"No, I prefer to wear pants and simple attire for my travel to the Voldrone land," 

"I see," Duchess responds, then bites the meat she takes within her fork.

"Come sit beside me," Duke Thranduil demand as he pointed the chair beside him. Alda turned to his side then went to sit beside Lady Cathlen father and take some food to put on her plates to eat. 

The room was silent for a bit until Duke Thranduil ask in worry. 

"Are you sure you don't want me to escort you to the Voldrone land?" He asks while concern showed on his face. Alda looks at his face for a while, thinking. 

This man must be thinking how fragile and vulnerable his child is, but I'm not Cathlen. I'm Alda, and I am a woman who does not take weakness into this world. This world is a battlefield. If you choose to be a lump of meat for those ravages, then so be it, but for me. I will not waste my life and be meat. I want to enjoy eating those ravages as well. 

She smirks inside her thought imagining how tasty it is to eat those almighty people with their weakness. Who run the world by cheating on their roads.

'My mother told me not to waste food. So why should I waste such opportunity,' she thought. 

"Father, do not worry. I will be fine. You own the land, therefore. No harm will come to me. I'm your daughter after all," Alda mentions, as she laughs at her by saying such formal words out into her mouths, but somehow she feels proud upon formulating such paraphrasing words into her mind.

The Duke looks at her daughter and feels proud upon seeing her courageous eyes and steel manner. Duke Thrandule nods to her daughter's words. Then their breakfast continues in peace and silence. 

Thirty minutes have passed till their breakfast pass. Alda went back to her chamber to get some light things she might need then put them in their pocket inside her pants. She went to the side of her closet, then take the sword that stands beside it. 

She wore the sword with a belt on the side. Then went outside her chamber once again, striding to the hallway. That lead to the east wing of the Duke mansion. In which all servants are waiting for her with Lady Cathlen parents. 

Alda arrived within two minutes then she greets all ten knight soldiers who will accompany her and two large carriages. That full of the knight kinds of stuff and other things related to her. The knight knell in front of her. Vowing as they spout words to her that they will protect her through and through. 

Alda felt like she is a princess who can't do anything. A princess who only shouts at everything and runs away from things while shivering in fear. She felt uncomfortable. So, she commands all the knights to stand on the ground in haste. 

Lady Cathlen father felt proud upon seeing her taking command like an enhanced soldier in the battle. In the past, back in their world, Alda didn't tell anyone about it except Yerre. She enters five months of training camp, involving military practices and other things to their campus, and from thereon. Alda got enhance of any kinds of survival. 

Her real purpose and aim upon entering the training camp are for the money. So she could have money to spend on buying Yerre birthday present. Yerre hates her using her parent's money, so she finds a way.

In the requirement, if you completed the training camp. Then you will be given a cash worth of XXXXXXX. Alda pursues the training with no consciousness that she already enjoyed everything and learns many things that can benefit her. 

She finished the camp, then buy Yerre expensive things. For her birthday, but that Yerre was still unaware of her gesture and feeling. She felt sad and alone but despite it all. Alda is still satisfied and contented because she got to see Yerre sincere smile and made her happy on her birthday.

A birthday she hates to celebrate for so long, for it is part of the past tragedy in her life. The time Yerre lost her parents is when time she should celebrate her birthday. But tragedy happened, and everything has taken away from her. 

Her happiness, warmth, everything, Yerre was lost and had live in deep slumber in the past. But Alda did everything she can to bring her back to the light, fade all off the pain, fill in all the lost things, and made Yerre complete again. 

It was not easy in the process of it all, she also lost herself, and they both suffer, but Yerre did not let her go, and they both heal together. 

And now they are here, inside this book, still surviving and have an unfair situation. 

Alda gritted her teeth inside as she felt irritated by the thought of their situations, then she proceeds to where Lady Cathlen is standing. With a forced smile, she hugged them one by one and bid goodbye to all servants. 

Alda searches at the crowds, then saw Angela already arrived back home. She signaled her with her eyes, asking if she already handed the letter to Mia. Then Angela nods with confident eyes and assuring smile. 

She sighs in relief inside her mind, then inside the carriage, which has renaissance designs and a sealed emblem of the Duke family. Alda opens the widow to her side, then look at the sky, and she saw an eagle bird flying at the top like it is signaling for her not to worry.

Alda smirks and smiled as she felt glad. The head knight incharged shout signaled to proceed. Then the carriage starts to move to head towards the Voldron land route. 

The birds cry out as it flies up above the clouds while following their march through the roads. Alda continues watching at the bird her people give to her as she voyages to Voldrone land.

The other day, before she and Angela went home, they first went to his people quarters to the town to pass the message, saying that she needs them to go to the Voldrone land first and meet her at the Duke family mansion at night in secret when they arrived.

She gives the instructions and the route to where the Duke mansion is located on paper. After that, the young man, who is still in his early twenties, rides away with his horse into the secluded, dangerous, dark forest and delivers the message that Alda conveys to him. 

The young man succeeded on his mission, then went back home holding a white paper in his left hand that's full of words pointing to Alda. When the young man arrived, he then went inside their hidden quarter ask for an eagle bird that owns by one of Alda boys. Tied the letter in the bird's feet, then fly it away outside as it headed to the Duke residence location. 

To be continued.
