HE/HEROINE AND MY VILLAINESS

(ETHICAL DAY)

Prince Adam is waiting for Vendia's reply through the letter inside his room as he keeps walking back and forth inside his chamber when a sudden knock on his door halts him.

"Who is it?" He asks,

"Is Me your highness," A mature voice of a man answer,

"Sir Ken?" He responds,

"Yes, and I am with Sir Ben, then Sir Roy," Sir Ken reply, and Prince Adam hurried over to the door in opens it with shock written on his face.

"Helloooo," Sir Ben wave him hi.

"WHY ARE YOU TOO HERE?" He asks, worried.

"Hey relaxed, we had something to tell you that is why we are here," Sir Ben reply,

"Ben! Why are you talking like that to his highness?" Sir Ken scolded him,

"I'm sorry, your highness, can we have food first? I am hungry," Sir Ben mentions, and Sir Ken punches his stomach hard.

"Ack! Why you punch my stomach! Ow, that hurts fuck!" Sir Ben complains while he holds his stomach with his right and left hand in pain, but Sir Ken only glares at him. Prince Adam deep sigh.

"Okay, you three get inside already," He mentions as they then get inside his chamber and sit on the separate couch.

"Why you have to punch so hard? Shit! Your such a dickhead," Sir Ben complains from receiving pain in his stomach.

"Shut up. Pain like that is not permanent. You are exaggerating things," Sir Ken responds with an eye-rolled.

"How do you know? Are you the one who got punch into a stomach?" Sir Ben reply, with an electric glare in his eyes.

"Enough," Sir Roy shut them, and the room went silent for a minute.

"Speak the reason. Why you're two here?" Prince Adam mentions, and they nod.

"Lady Vendia went on a silent voyage with her maid and knight," Sir Ben reply, and Prince Adam got shocked.

"WHAT? Are you certain?" He asks,

"Yes, they left a minute ago," Sir Roy responds,

"Yes," Sir Ben inserted,

"For what reason?" Prince Adam ask,

"We don't know," Sir Ben answer,

"Sir Ben and I didn't hear what they are talking about earlier because they're inside Lord Marthen's office. We can't sneak in and eavesdrop inside his office because they have secured guards planted in," Sir Roy explain,

"Yes, and we saw Lady Vendia so happy upon leaving the Astrod land," Sir Ben,

"Is that so by any chance you two heard where they headed?" Prince Adam ask,

"No, we miss hearing their location," Sir Roy,

"If that is the case, do you still remember the root they take?" he asks,

"Yes, we do. But Lady Vendia is still in the town. She hasn't left the Astrod land yet," Sir Ben mentions, and Prince Adam sigh with relief.

"Okay, that's good then. Thank you for informing me," Prince Adam thanked them.

"You are always welcome, your highness. We are only doing our task," Sir Roy reply, and Prince Adam nod.

"You two can go back to her now. Follow her and keep her safe at all times. Fly a letter to me later so I would know where she is staying," Prince Adam demand, and his guard wonder why feeling a bit off.

"Your highness, may we ask why you are concern towards Lady Vendia?" Sir Ken ask,

"Yes, you weren't like this towards her before. In the past, you were so cold like an ice prince, and when someone mentions her name, you get furious like a lion," Sir Ben joins in.

"Well, the thing is, I have a reason. But I never knew that it could lead someone to death," He answers,

"What?" Sir Ben asks, confused.

"Vendia kill herself because of me," Prince Adam straight reply,

"WHAT?" Sir Ken, Sir Ben, and Sir Roy got stunned. Then a sudden knock on the door disturbs them.

"Come in," Prince Adam permitted.

"Your highness, a letter from the Marquis has arrived," The butler mention,

'A letter? But Vendia...' He thought with a suspicious feeling.

"Give it to me," He demands, then the Butler went over to him and give the letter to him.

"Thank you, you can leave now," He mentions, then the butler bow and leaves his room. He opens the envelope and reads what inside the paper.

Letter

I won't be formal because I don't think you deserve it. If you want to meet my daughter, go through me first. I won't let you ruined her life again. I won't sit still and watch her suffer alone if you dare come to her. I'll set your kingdom and the throne you supposed to have on fire till it turned to dust.

Marquis,

Prince Adam read the letter and felt anger. He crumpled the paper.

'How dare he threaten me! So be it! I won't bother his daughter anymore, and I will let her kill herself again!' He thought, angry, but his cousin's words ring inside his head again.

"Why you act so rush?" Sir Albert ask,

"What do you mean?" Prince Adam got confused,

"Why are you letting your emotions eat you away? I told you so many times that it will cost a ruin to your success. Are you even taking my advice inside your head?" Sir Albert scolded him. Prince Adam deep sighs and calms his thoughts down.

'What am I thinking, I understand what this letter means, but I can't stop because my consciousness won't let me sleep unless I apologize and make it up for what I have done,'

"Your highness?" Sir Ken calls out for him, who is spacing out for over 1 hour now.

"Uh-yes, sorry," He stutters and apologizes,

"Sir Ben and Sir Roy have left to follow Lady Vendia," Sir Ken mention, and he only nods.

"Okay, you can go now. I need some time alone," Prince Adam demands, and Sir Ken nod understand.

'Haaa... I wish I have a power that can turn back time. So that I can fix all the things that went wrong,'

"Haaa... haha. I've gone crazy thinking such impossible things. How come it turned out like this? Haaa I'm exhausted,"

'What if I turned you down with kindness back then, Vendia? Will things be different?' He thought, stress.

"Tsk! As if, let's take a nap and don't think too much about it," He utters as he went over to his bed and lays down as he nap.
