He/Heroine And My Villainess

HE/HEROINE AND MY VILLAINESS

(WHEN TWO DIFFERENT WORLD COMBINE A WHOLE NEW WORLD WILL ARISE)

Mrs. Tilda continued explaining her side with an angry expression on her face. 

"Listen carefully. Lady Cathlen is the character I symbolized myself, and Lady Vendia is a symbol of my illness, which is my cancer. Because I can't live for long and can't even build a family of my own, I created all the things I want to have and want to do before I die into one book and published it before I die. Do you trust me now? " She said, Alda felt a true and sincere feeling about her words, but she still felt unsafe because of her gift again. So she still didn't command Sir Arnold to lower his sword. 

"Are you sure you're not lying?" Alda asked, making Mrs. Tilda annoyed. 

"What do you want me to do then?" She is frustrated. 

"Simple, tell me the publishing month, date and year of this book," Alda answered. 

"You! Hemp! My name is not Mrs. Tilda. My real name is Kaylamae Joy N. Fredo. My nickname in my book is Kemel. I died at the age of twenty and I published my book on September 23, 2010. Trust me now? " 

"No, still don't. People around here told me that you have a special gift that allows you to predict the future and past. So, no, I still don't trust you, "Alda answered with no hesitation, which made Kaylamae cry in frustration in front of her again.

"You! Then what is the use of this whole explanation and confession thing? "

"To prove that you are the creator?" Alda responded with an unsure expression.

"What's wrong with you? I am telling you the truth! " Kaylamae said while tears of frustration kept falling down her cheeks.

Alda felt guilt rise through her when she saw her crying in a mess as minutes passed, and this made her sigh in stress.

She looked at Sir Arnold and signaled him to draw back his sword. This whole time, Sir Arnold had been observing them talking about things that made him curious, puzzled, and confused.

He wanted to ask what it was about, but he could not bring himself to do it because something inside him was saying not to. 

So he still could not understand all the words they were spouting out through their mouths with no pause and consideration of the person who was also with them at the moment.

Sir Arnold sighed while nodding. He put his sword back at his side. After that, Alda then asked him to get inside the bathroom in the guest room for the meantime. Sir Arnold looked at her with confusion and asked.

"You want me to leave you alone with that dangerous person? Are you all right? " 

Alda could feel the anxiousness and worry towards Sir Arnold's words that she could not help but release a light laugh at him and answered with a smile. 

"Yes I am. Don't worry when she starts using her gift. I will shout to signal you to kill her, "Alda mentions, which made Kayla look at her in fright. 

"Y---you, you are kidding right?" Kayla asked with eyes filled with tears and a face full of fear. Alda looked straight at her, then gave out a grin and a playful reply. 

"Of course... no. I am not playing. " Alda paused for a minute, showing her sinister smile. Kayla's eyes were wide open and her body shook from fear.

"I personally came here to dispatch you," Alda confessed, making Kayla's heart stop beating for a while as she felt unsafe inside the room, but she still refused to leave.

Because she wants to know who this person inside Lady Cathlen's body is and how she knows about Yerre, also.

'Why would I leave? I didn't do anything, 'she thought.

Alda ordered Sir Arnold to go inside the bathroom and he nodded, leaving the two of them alone inside the guest room.

Sir Arnold was never worried because he knew his brothers were on guard outside the tall tree in front of the guest room window. He was just afraid that his brother might act without delay and she would be harmed.

Alda commanded Sir Arnold to go inside the bathroom because she did not want him to hear any further questionable things regarding this world and her.

In short, she does not want him to hear anymore secrets she holds in this world. From the time Sir Arnold entered the bathroom, Alda then proceeded to talk further with Kayla.

The guest room was silent for a while as Alda and Kayla remained standing at their place, facing each other as if they had both committed the same sin. Alda's face turned blank as she started to ask Kayla a question. 

"I don't care if you are the creator or not, but answer me honestly with the truth only," she said.

"I am! But you wont even listen! You even said that you would kill me. You! I didn't do anything bad to you. Why must you kill me? " Kayla responded as tears in her eyes slowly dried up and her fear faded away like a passing wind. 

Alda looked at her blankly. Her eyes didn't show pity, sentimental or kindness. Her eyes only showed bitterness and anger upon hearing Kayla's denial.

"Your right. You didn't do anything bad to me, "Alda paused for a minute, then continued with a furrowed brow and a firm tone of voice. 

"But my girlfriends did," she said, which made Kayla buffer and puzzled for a minute, then asked. 

"Girlfriend? Wait, wait. Let me ask you first to clear things out. You are not Lady Cathlen right? " 

"No, this body is owned by her, but my soul is owned by me. So, in short, I'm not. My name is Alda and I am from the mortal world, "Alda answered. 

"Ahh, okay, okay. So you are not a man, you are a woman? " Kayla asked further questions. 

"Yes, I'm a woman. I died and got stuck inside this heroine's body and this cursed world with my girlfriend Yerre, whom you harmed, "Alda answered, which made Kayla choke for a second and process each word that Alda spoke one by one until she gained strength to reply to Alda. 

"By a girlfriend, you mean a friend, right?" 

"Pft! Are you trying to make me laugh right now? The words say it all already, "Alda replied.

"So, your a..." 

Alda looked at her, raised her eyebrows in a mocking way, and replied. 

"What? Lesbians? Yes I am. Why are you grossing out? " 

"N--no, no. I supported LGBTQ people from our world before I died. You know, I also had a gay best friend back then. But, let's go back to the real topic. If you are inside Cathlen's body, then where is she right now? "She asked. 

"I don't know. You have the power to see the present and the past. People say that you can also sneak a peak into people's private lives. Right? Why don't you figure it out on your own? "Alda replied. 

"Are you crazy? Do you believe those false rumors circulating this land? All I know is to talk to a spirit who has not found peace yet and capture them so I can help them ascend to heaven. " Kayla replied, but Alda still doubted her. 

"Then why did you harm Yerre? How did you know that she was not from this world? " 

"Because I dreamed about her. This stupid brain of mine gives me prophetic dreams all the time and is pissing me off, "

"I see then why you harmed Yerre."

The questions and answers continue. 

Because the dream gives me warning that she will ruin the world I created inside this book, which could cause misfortune for my book. So I read some books that contain black magic and I applied it to trace her whereabouts, capture her soul and bring it back to heaven, "Kayla answered.

"So this prophetic shit gives you the idea to harm my girlfriend because your book, which has already been published, will lose its market when the world inside the web novel changes because of her. Is that it? " Alda asked. 

"Yes," Kayla answered within a second, making Alda feel a headache and sigh in stress.

"So, even though you are dead," Alda paused for a minute, heaving a trembling sigh of anger, and continued. 

"You're still worried about your book and the money it earned." 

"Yes, I mean not whole, but yes. My family is poor and I left my bank account in my younger sister's name before I died, because even though I'm dead, the income from my book can still circulate and sustain them, "Kayla mentions with eyes full of sincerity and worry. She continued while Alda only listened and looked at her with anger. 

"My family is not well off. We live in the mountains and my parents only rely on crops to sell so we can have a meal everyday. I have two younger siblings who are seven and eighteen years old. They're both girls. Their names are Mei Lyn and Ashlyn Joy. My parents didn't have an education degree because of their family circumstances. " Kayla continued telling Alda stories about her life before she died to gain trust from her.

Alda felt a certain relief and curiosity as Kayla continued telling her story about her life. It made her anger fade away.

All she said was all true and there was no trace of a lie.

At the age of twelve, Kayla figured that their parents were getting old and their life of using crops to survive couldn't sustain them forever. So she found a way to help her parents.

To be continued.
