The Villainess Won't Die

Chapter Six



WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO OPEN THE DOORS I stopped and took a few steps back, waiting. And when I recognized the aura of the person coming in, I hugged her the moment she set her foot inside. Catching her by surprise. "Are you alright, Your Royal Highness?" Damn, why is she still using those honorifics with me at this point? "Did you have a nightmare?"

"Ah, Kate, I did... The worst and longest nightmare of my whole existence," and living like that was indeed a damn nightmare. "I thought I would never wake up," and that almost happened, seeing how I died back there. For Mikla's sake, it gives me goosebumps just thinking about what I felt when the ruby-red-eyed executioner was beheading me. I took three steps away from Kate and passed my hands on my neck, swallowing hard. Fuck... I don't want to go through that again! Not again. And for me not to have my beautiful head separated from my precious neck, I can't let myself get caught when I kill the important people who did that to me. Because I'm sure that I would have the worst death than that if I were to get caught murdering the 3rd Imperial Prince or the fucking Empress.

And thinking about the executioner again... why did he apologize to me like that? Why did he seemed to be so hurt? What grudge did he have with Christopher to have such a murderous aura when he came closer to him? Moreover, why did I feel so familiar with his gaze on me?

Ugh, I need to stop overthinking those things, or I'm going to lose my mind again.

When I focused my attention again, Kate was staring at me, worried. "Did anyone die in your nightmare, Princess?" It's easier to ask who didn't die.

Nodding, I said, "Yes... A lot of people died, Kate. Most of them were innocents caught in the chessboard of the masterminds of all the disgrace that happened there," my voice got a tone raspier. "So much blood was spilled," by my hands. Seeing me like this, she came closer and passed her thin fingers through my braids, and stopped on my cheeks, then she pinched them. "Ah, that hurts, Kate! What was that for?" I faked the pain and complained.

"If it hurts it's good," then a kind smile appeared on her lips. "The pain is sometimes necessary for you to know that you are alive," damn, she may not know but this was the best moment for her to say that to me, considering that about an hour ago I was dead. "That was just a bad dream, okay?" Coming closer, Kate kissed my forehead. "We are all alive here. No one is dead. And nobody is going to die either."NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

How I wish that was true... But I don't have the right to think that. It won't change anything. The only thing I can do to not let it happen, is stopping Dalilah and everybody else that might play a role on our sphere downfall.

I hugged her again and she giggled but surrounded me with her arms and kissed the top of my head. Something my mom never did to me. Well... not never, but the last time that happened was when I was around 4 years old, before I had my magic stolen from me.

"I thought your period had ended two days ago, Princess. But it seems like your emotions are still a roller coaster," my period? Wait-

That's a good information.

If I remember correctly, I first menstruated at the end of the sixth month of the year I was going to turn fourteen. And mine came before Dalilah's which pissed her off and she got mad at me, making me feel guilty for it and I even apologized for something that was completely out of my control. Although hers came a month after that.

It's embarrassing to think of that now that I know everything she did to me. Especially knowing that at that time she hadn't brainwashed me yet.

Anyways, I need to know when is this. How much time do I still have before my birthday. Turning to met Kate's pink-ish eyes, I voiced my doubt, "Kate, what's today's date?"

"Oh... It's July 3rd of the year 279 in the Caspien Calendar1!"

My birthday is on the 3rd of December. That gives me, exactly, 5 months until my 14th anniversary. I can do a lot of things in that amount of time.

"Why?" She questioned, curious.

"I just woke up a little bit lost in time," about 13 years in the past, to be precise. "And my emotions aren't like that because of my period, silly. My nightmare's at fault here. It made me wake up shaken like this. But I'm fine now." Sigh. "Anyways, why are you still using honorifics with me, Kate?"

That made her giggle. "Come on, we've already talked about this, Princess," did we? My memories are all messed up, so I don't quite remember that.

"So what? I'll insist until you give in," thank Goddess I could come up with that at the same moment, otherwise, Kate would start worrying about my memory too. And I don't want that, because she already worries too much about me. "The same goes for me!" Uh? What is that supposed to mean?

"What?"

"I will keep calling you Princess and Your Royal Highness until you accept that this is my form of respecting and caring for you like almost no one does! They are all disgraceful and dare to call you by your birth name, without even being close to you. All of them disrespect you and it makes my blood boil like a volcano. Especially because they don't do the same to your twin," she seemed disgusted and that made me chuckle. "Sorry... I know how much you love her and-" ugh. "I'm tired of Dalilah's acting as if I was a servant who has to do everything for her, Kate. Yeah, I love her," though my hatred is getting bigger now, "but she doesn't seem to love me. I can't just keep wasting my time with someone who apparently doesn't give a fuck about me, neither seems to want to see me happy."

Damn, I hope my words were convincing enough, because I can't have people still thinking I'm Dalilah's shadow. Because I have my own light and it's my time to shine. Plus, if they know that I don't want to be around her anymore, the people who doesn't like her will, very likely, approach me. And I need that to happen.

Kate must have been too shocked by my words, because she didn't even blink for a whole minute, only with her jaw on the ground. "Are you joking?" Yeah, she may use honorifics with me but her way to speak is not formal at all. And I'm not complaining, especially because she doesn't get mad with me cursing, once she does the same. "Don't fucking joke like that. I almost fell for it, Princess!"
