HE/HEROINE AND MY VILLAINESS

(TO MY ONE)

Angela is walking through the town street with a long cloak covered her entire body. She turned to the left side of the alley and bumps into someone familiar.

"You," Sir Arnold utters.

"Sir, um. I-I am he-here to deliver a message fro-from," Angela keeps stuttering from nervousness and Sir Arnold's deep sigh.

"Is okay, relax, I won't hurt you. I don't want to hurt a craven person. I can understand and read through the situation. I'm not a crazy person also, understand?" Sir Arnold mentions,

"I-I'm sorry, I understand," Angela apologies, stuttering.

"Is fine, continue," Sir Arnold mentions then Angela nod as inhale and exhale calming herself down.

"The miss, want you all to meet me outside the Duke mansion tonight," Angela elaborate,

"Why?" Sir Arnold asks,

"She has something to talk to you all," Angela answer,

"Why can't she come here herself?" Sir Arnold mentions,

"She can't. The Duke and Duchess won't permit her to go out because they caught her sneaking out," Angela mention, and Sir Arnold got shocked,

"SHE WHAT?"

"Like I said. Gather your people tonight and wait for me outside the Duke mansion. I will fetch you all to let you all pass through the gate without a problem," Angela responded,

"Okay, is that all?"

"Yes, that's all. I will go now," Angela replies, then leave without receiving his reply.

-DUKE RESIDENCE-

*CATHLEN CHAMBER*

KNOCK

"Who is it?" Cathlen ask,

"Miss," Angela responds, outside her door. She then stood out to her couch and went over to the door, pacing.

"How was it?" She asks,

"It went well, Miss," Angela answer, then she sighs in relief.

"Oh, thank god. Come on, get inside," She mentions, then Angele went inside and sat on the separate couch.

"Did you get scared?" Cathlen ask,

"Yes, but Sir Arnold said. He doesn't have an urge to hurt a craven person, and I then relaxed hearing his words," Angela answer,

'Ahh... so she knows,' Cathlen thought as she then laughs.

"Hahaha, why are you cute, Angela?" She mentions laughing at her as Angela felt embarrassed in front of her.

"Don't laugh at me, Miss. It was honestly scary," Angela complains, and Cathlen laughs more. She laughs for five minutes, then sighs.

"Ahh... that was a merry laugh, it made me forget all the stress and problem, thank you, Angela," She mention.

"Your welcome, Miss. I'm glad it made you happy," Angela responds, fake sobbing.

"Hahaha, you could become a famous comedian, Angela," Cathlen mentions, and Angela pout.

"Miss..." She complains,

"Hahaha, okay, I stop teasing you now," Cathlen respond as Angela smile at her,

'Is good to see you like this, Miss,' Angela thought while she looks at Cathlen with gladness.

-DINING ROOM-

Cathlen is having dinner together with her parents in silence, but one person opens up the conversation.

"How are you, Cathlen?" Duke Thranduil asks, breaking the silence inside the room.

"I am fine, father, as always," She answers, showing no interest.

"What did you do today?" Duchess joins in the conversation, pointing the question towards her daughter. Cathlen stops eating and looks at them.

"As always, I stay in my room eating, sipping tea, and reading books," She answers, smiling as her parents feel bothered by her reply.

"Are you angry because we didn't permit you to go out today?" Duke Thranduil asks, concerned.

"No, I am not. Why should I be angry? You only want what is best for me, right?" She answers, denying what she feels. And her parents sigh in relief.

'I am angry, but there's no need to be angry for long because I already found a solution to my problem,' She thought,

"Thank you for understanding us, Cathlen," Duchess mention, and Cathlen nod with a fake smile on her face.

"Don't worry about it so much, mother," She replied,

'Because that's a parent must do, being cautious towards their daughter's safety. But I need to find someone who holds dear to my heart, so I am sorry if I disobey your both securities,' She thought,

"Come, let's continue eating now," Duke Thranduil proposes, and they eat dinner in peace.

After the dinner, Cathlen prepared herself with Angela,

"Miss, why don't you sneak out and meet them instead of letting them in here?" Angela asks,

"Because I don't want to cause panic again, you know what happened before, right?" Cathlen reminded her, and Angela nod remembered.

"Your right, but are you sure about this, Miss?" Angela asks for assurance,

"Yes, I am," She answers without a second thought.

'I do not need to think twice to do dangerous things. Because all of this is for Yerre and me. I will risk my life to see her again,' She thought,

"Okay, Miss. I will then go back to my quarters to prepare," Angela mention and Cathlen nod.

"Okay, do you still remember the plan?" Cathlen ask,

"Yes, I do, Miss," Angela answer,

"Good, remember to relax and don't be afraid, understand?" She reminded her,

"Yes, Miss," Angela answer, full of determination, and Cathlen sigh in relief.

'I hope so because if you mess this up, we all be fuck up,' She thought, stress.

"Go now,"

"See you later, Miss," Angela responds, and Cathlen waves her hand as a reply. Angela then leaves the room.

'Yerre, I hope you are doing fine. Don't worry will meet soon. I can feel it,' She thought while looking at her glass window with a light of the moon reflecting her shadow inside the room.
