It's better to lie than telling the truth and die

It was the first time Anne stayed outside overnight, that also with out telling her parents beforehand.

' Geez.. What should I tell them? If I tell them that I slept with Caesar they will sue me. ' She took a deep breath and looked straight at Duke's eye.

" Angela was feeling unwell so I gave company to her. Sorry, I did not report to you earlier. "

Duke Alfred frowned at her explanation and said, " Are you sure ? Because Alex told me that he never saw you when Angela was coming out from the palace. "

She turned her towards Alex who was giving a bright proud smile which was screaming that ' I am a loyal knight of Frostwood duchy. ' Now Anne was in trouble. She had to quickly make up another lie. "To tell you the truth I was actually with Austin Parker. You know what? Angela... "

Before she could complete her statement, Duke barged in and said, " Austin actually left with Angela." Now both the Duke and Duchess were giving death glares at her. They were potraying with their eyes to tell the truth.

She looked at Alex again. ' This jerk! Why did he has to tell all these things to Daddy. Think Anne, think. ' "Ok I am telling you the truth... I drank wine yesterday. Then i tripped over and hit my head. After that I passed out. They carried me to the restroom, I spent my night there." 'What the.. why did I have to say that I tripped over. Sob sob. '

The duchhess took a sigh and hugged her. She stroked her head and said, " It's ok that you drank wine but be careful next time. "

The duke coughed a bit and said, " Now return to your room and take rest. "

When she returned to her room, Lily came running to her. " Miladyyyy. " She made her sit on the chair and asked her, " Where did you get hurt when you tripped over yesterday? Let me check. " She did not want Lily to check her so she resisted . In all the struggle the cloth form her neckline loosened up showing the hickeys. Lily was so shocked and stared at her hickeys so intensely that it seemed that her eyes would pop out from her eye socket. She asked her in a serious tone, " You probably did not only tripped over. Don't tell me an octopus visited you while you were asleep giving you all these hickeys."

The beans were already spilled out and there was no point in hiding it anymore and they were really close so she did not hide the truth from her anymore. She told her the whole story.

After hearing all the story Lily was quite awestruck and why won't she? Anne's first love was found to be a scumbag and now she had spent a night with 'The Blood Craver of the Battlefield' . She asked her, " Milady, it's ok that you want to be a villain lady. But isn't it too much to mingle with the greatest villain of Frostia? " She paused for a moment and took a sigh. " Now what's done is done. In whatever ways you have to null this relationship. " Anne nodded.

Lying on the bed she ordered Lily, " Send a servant to Angela's residence and inform her to meet me near the entrance of the fair today. I wish to visit the fair with her today. Also tell her to dress up like a commoner. "

That night, she dressed up humbly but elegant. Slight rosy lips with open hair which was glowing with the mystic moonlight. Her peach gown really suited her devine appearance. She did not let Alex accompany her because letting him beside her was like being under a watch dog. Well, it was really not easy to convince Alex. But when she told him , " Sirrrrr, how can I, the student of the greaaaat Alex be in any kind of danger?! " . Alex was a man weak to complements and so he agreed.

She was standing near the gate when someone whispered in her ear, " Hey, what you doing? "

She flinched and when she turned around to smack that person she found out that it was none other than Angela.

She sighed. "Angela , you will really give me a heart attack one day! ". She then closely stared at her face and said, " You look pale. I heard you puked on Austin yesterday."

Angela trying avoid her gaze said, " Do not even ask. I can not even look at him. Tsk. "

She giggled. She patted her shoulder and said , " It must be hard for you. He is your crush after all. "

Angela was in love with Austin for a long time. She may be brave in all the other matters but in case of love, she is really a coward. She could never confess him. It was pretty obvious that she was in love with him. And when Austin came that day to ask for a dance with her, it was the best chance to progress in their relationship . But she puked all over him. That's some pretty second hand embarrassment.

" Uhg. Why did I even agree to drink with you . " She narrowed her eyes at her and asked, " I heard you tripped over yesterday. But how the hell you passed out yesterday? "

Angela was unaware of the scandal Anne did that day. It was because everyone in Frostia is afraid of Caesar. He is no less than any demon in people's eye so they dare not to gossip about the matters related to him. For this reason, the Duke and Duchess were also unaware of the truth.

"Well.... ".

'Huh? Why is she hesitating. There must be something. ' She grabbed her shoulder and asked, " Tell me truly what you did after I left. "

"Ok, ok. I am telling you. " She then told her the whole thing.

Anne quickly hugged her . "Our life is really a comedy of errors. I puked at my crush and you messed up that that devil. But wait - " She pulled her back. "Is he hot? "

Anne replied her , " Does it even matter if the tiger is good looking or not, when you are the rabbit who is counting her remaining days before she gets to be the meal of that tiger. "

"Uhg. Our luck is really teribble. I will pay a visit to the Church after the end of this festival "

" Me too. "
