He/Heroine And My Villainess

HE/HEROINE AND MY VILLAINES

(I'M ALWAYS BE WITH YOU)

-DUKE RESIDENCE-

While Cathlen is away with Angela, everyone else was busy searching for her,

"How come she escapes without you all-knowing? I can't believe I hire you all as my daughter guard," Duke Thranduil scolding his knight.

"What are we going to do, honey?" Duchess Aerwen asks, impatient.

"Don't worry. I will deal with this matter fast. You stay here in case Cathlen got home, okay?"

"But I want to join the search," Duchess Aerwen insist,

"Dear..."

"Okay, I stay. Inform Prince Adam too," Duchess Aerwen suggest and Duke Thranduil nod,

"Let's move! Follow me! You are all impractical!" Duke Thranduil shouts at his guards to follow his search for his daughter, together with their horses.

-ASTROD KINGDOM-

*Prince Adam Chamber*

Knock

"Who is it?" he asks,

"Is Ken, your highness," Sir Ken replies,

"Come in," he permits, and Sir Ken gets inside his room.

"How come you're here? Did you get some information about Vendia?" Prince Adam ask,

"No, I don't have any information about Lady Vendia yet," Sir Ken answer,

"Well then, why are you here?"

"I meet Duke Thranduil in the town as I gather information about Vendia, and he said that Cathlen is not inside their mansion," Sir Ken explain,

"WHAT? How come? When I left the Duke reaidence. I saw her sleeping inside her chamber," Prince Adam responds, unsettled.

'What is going on?' Prince Adam, doing serious thoughts,

"Vendia," He speaks,

"What? What do you mean by that, your highness?"

"Is VENDIA! Let's go, follow me. Bring Sir Ben and Roy with us, hurry!" Prince Adam grabs his cloak and sword,

"Right away, your highness," Sir Ken replies as he gets out of the room fast.

*TOWN*

"Well? What now?" Sir Roy ask they are now in the town,

"Scattered around and find Vendia inform me straight away, if you all found her," Prince Adam instructed, and they nod, then leave to search for Vendia.

"I won't let you hurt Cathlen this time, Vendia," Prince Adam swore as he starts his search for Vendia in hastening.

"Sir Aloit, what are the things you haven't tried into the town?" Vendia asks, curious as they walk into the town street.

"Oh, I already tried everything because I grow up here," He answered.

"Oh,"

"Yes, instead of asking me about what I haven't tried into this town, what about you?" Sir Aloit said.

"Me?" Vendia confused,

"Yes, you still haven't toured the town yet, am I right?" Sir Aloit figured.

'That is right, I haven't toured this town yet,' She admits.

"Yes," She replies, looking down for a minute.

"Okay, then we will go tour this town today," Sir Aloit declare, excited.

"Eh? but..."

"Oh, don't worry about your frame. We can go buy it later after we tour the town, okay?" Sir Aloit mention.

"Okay..." Vendia still unsure, but she goes with the flow,

"All right! Let's go! Where do you want to go first?" He asks.

"Um... you decide, Sir Aloit because, I also don't know, I lost my memory, right?" She reminds him.

"Ah right, sorry I forgot about it for a while, okay then we go this way," He answers, leading them to somewhere Vendia don't know,

"Okay," Vendia answer,

"Don't worry. I know this town very well, trust me, okay?" Sir Aloit assured her.

"Okay, Sir Aloit, I trust you," She said, not panicking anymore.

"All right, hold my right hand and don't let go, or else you will get lost," Sir Aloit advice,

"What? I will get lost?" Vendia got panic again,

"HA HA HA, don't worry, that will never happen. You got me, okay?" He winks.

"Yes, of course," She smiles at him in relief.

"Come on now, hold my right hand and let's enjoy touring the town, shall we?" Sir Aloit mention.

"Okay, but what about the carriage, Sir Aloit?" Vendia ask,

"Oh, don't worry, the carriage can stay here. We will be back,"

"You mean, will walk?" Vendia asks, having a second thought.

"Yes, why you don't want to walk?"

"No, is not that," She answers.

"Is not fun if we tour the town with the carriage, you know?" Sir Aloit advises. Vendia look at him, thinking then deep sigh,

"We won't get lost, right?" she asks,

"Of course, remember you have me," he reminded her.

"Okay,"

"Come now, don't overthink and enjoy," Sir Aloit suggested, as Vendia remembered her bestfriend.

"It's fine, don't mind them... in my eyes, you're perfect and cute, so come on! Let's have fun catching goldfish today at the festival. Don't think so much, have fun and If you feel uncomfortable, hold on to me, and I will hug you so you can feel better. Okay?" Alda long replied,

"Vendia?" Sir Aloit call and, she gets back to her senses,

"Ah, yes. Sir Aloit," She answers,

"Are you okay?" Sir Aloit asks, upon seeing her space out for a minute.

"Yes," She answer,

"Okay, come hold my hand," She nods, and clasps Sir Aloit right hand, then they strode to the town,

"Sir Aloit, can we take a break for a while?" Vendia demand

"Why? Are you tired from walking?" Sir Albert asks, concern.

"Yes, I forgot I wear heels," She responds,

"Oh, sorry, I also forgot that you wear heels," they both laugh at each other as they rest for a bit, sitting on the bench under the gigantic tree.

"The town has so many wonderful and interesting things they display," Vendia speak,

"I know. Did you enjoy our tour today?" Sir Aloit asks.

"Yes, I do, thank you, Sir Aloit," she mentions,

"Oh, don't mention it. I'm glad you enjoy it," Sir Aloit responds. Then the two of them take a minute of silence, observing the place. Vendia sigh feeling relaxed.

"I love this feeling, so peaceful and free," Vendia blurt out of the blue, looking up to the sunny blue sky, smiling as the fresh wind brushes through her face and hair.

"Yeah, I agree with you," Sir Aloit also looks up to the sky, enjoying the wonderful breeze and wonderful feeling of peace for a while.

"Sir Aloit," she speaks, looking up to the sky.

"Yes, what is it?" he asks, looking up to the sky.

"If ever my memory came back, and you figured out that I did something out of my character right now, will you still stay by my side to protect me?" she asks, which somehow sounds sad. Sir Aloit look at her, bothered and concerned.

"Why would you ask that kind of thing to me Vendia," he asks, worried.

"Nothing, I just wonder if ever, will you still stay by my side Sir Aloit?" she replies, look straight at him with a smile, but her smile somehow showed sadness and pain.

"Well, yes. Why wouldn't I be?" Sir Aloit reply,

"I see. I'm glad to hear that to you, Sir Aloit," Vendia felt glad.

"Of course that is if you won't cast me away," he added, and Vendia laugh,

"HA HA HA, why would I…" She replies,

"You know, Vendia, in this world. There's no such thing as perfection in people. We all have a dark secret to ourselves, even I have one," Sir Aloit speaks.

"You do?" she asks,

"Yes, people see me as a jolly and play full person, but inside I'm not that kind of person," he confesses, looking down to the ground wearing a sad expression.

"Oh, I didn't know,"

"I know. That is why I am telling you the truth about my character,"

"Haha," Vendia laugh, and Sir Aloit felt glad upon hearing her cheerful laugh.

"We all wear a mask to survive into this world,"

"That's…" she can't reply because that is what she's been doing the whole time, wearing someone else mask or life that she didn't own,

"So, no matter what you did," He looks at Vendia, smiling, and continues talking.

"It doesn't matter, because you did it with your reasons, that no one can understand other than yourself," Sir Aloit, she looks at him for a minute puzzled then smiles,

"Thank you, Sir Aloit," she responds.

"Aish! Stop thanking me. I just said what I wanted to say to you,"

"Okay," she smiles, feeling lucky to have so many people who love her and accept her as who she is,

"Are you hungry?" he asks,

"No, I'm just a little thirsty," she answers,

"Okay, stay right there and wait for me, okay?"

"Why, where are you going? Don't leave me here," she panics, and stands up to the bench, then holds his left arm in nervousness.

"HA HA HA, silly girl, I won't leave you. I'm just going to buy us some refreshment drink, your thirsty, right?" he mentions.

"Oh… sorry, yeah I am," she blushes, feeling embarrassed, and lets go of Sir Aloit's arm.

"HA HA HA, is okay, just stay here and wait for me, understand?" he reminds her as he ruffled her hair,

"Yes, I will," she replies, nodding as she sits back down to the bench.

"Okay," Sir Aloit then leave to buy them some water bottle to drink as she waits for him.

"Two water bottle, please?" Sir Aloit ask the owner of the store

"Okay, kindly wait for a while when I prepare your order,"

"Okay," Sir Aloit wait patiently for his order when suddenly he heard someone speak Vendia name on his right side. He got anxious and on alert as he slowly went close to where the voice pointed, unnoticed.

"Do you happened to see the Marquis, daughter around the town?" A man who wears a long black cloak ask the vendor who sale fruit,

"Oh, I haven't seen any royal walk pass by my store today, young man," The old vendor man replies,

"I see. Thank you for your help," The man who wears the black cloak give him one pack of the gold coin then leave. Sir Aloit hear it all and got worried about Vendia leaving her alone. He hurried back to the water store,

"Where is my order?" he asks in a rush,

"Here you go, Sir, thank you," The owner said, lending the two water bottles inside the paper bag to him.

"Here, keep the change, thank you," Sir Aloit pays and leaves.

"Thank you, Sir!" The owner shouts in joy upon receiving too much pay.

As Sir Aloit heading back to where Vendia, he saw the man he saw an hour ago, who wears a black cloak, heading towards Vendia. He got anxious and worried. He fast walks.

"Vendia!" He shouts, signaling Vendia. She then looks up ahead and smiles upon seeing him,

'Vendia!' His mind is in chaos. Sir Aloit can't think straight as he saw the man is now close to where Vendia is standing.

"Sir Aloit," Vendia responds and continues smiling, clueless about the situation.
