The Villainess

Chapter 20

JULIETTE

"Oh, my isn't that right Lady Juliette?" I was driven out from my Lalala world when a lady from I don't know mentioned me. I looked around me and I saw the other noble ladies looking at me behind their fans.

"Oh yes, it is." I happily said with a smile on my face, even though I don't know what they're talking about.

I am currently at a party being hosted by the Saintess or should I say Lizbeth Lin Archam. When I heard her name. I remembered she's half. Her mother is from another nation while her father is a Marquess of the Kingdom.

Although she is not a daughter of a duke, her aunt is the Queen of this Kingdom. The Archam family is keeping a low profile in the meantime. Shortly a war will occur and amid the battle. Secret knights from the Archam family arrive to help the Kingdom to defeat the Southern Kingdom.

And then the Saintess which is Lady Lizbeth helped to heal injured soldiers with her magic. In that way, she became the saintess like what she ever dreamed of.

"Lady Juliette?" for the nth time I was driven out in my Lalala world again. I kept on spacing out for an unknown reason. I can't focus at all.

"Yes, Saintess?" I covered my mouth and gave an awkward smile to Lady Lizbeth.

"I apologize, I was having tea with the current Saint before coming here. I wish you forgive me for I was rude for accidentally calling you Saintess."

"No need to apologize, My lady, everyone commits such mistakes. I know the goddess will forgive us if we realize what sin we committed."

Lady Lizbeth smiled warmly at me before sipping her tea. If I am the dangerous prince. I would take Lady Lizbeth as my wife the future Queen. Sadly, they're cousins.

She passed all the requirements. She's calm, she's beautiful, kind, and from a good background. Though that makes their relationship i****t. A cousin for cousin? Nah...

I need to befriend Lady Lizbeth. She can help me escape from my death flag shortly. When all of us grow up. I will tell her that I was from another world called earth. I'm sure she will believe me. Because right after she was appointed as the saintess. She can hear the oracles of the goddess in this world. Then right at that moment, she was called "The Gifted One"

"Isn't the weather nice my lady?" I started a conversation. She look at me and she was shocked for I have started to talk.

Like who wouldn't? Juliette has pride that everyone hates. If I am a daughter of a baron and I have this kind of attitude, I'm sure that noble daughters of Earl and any high-ranking nobles would dare to lay a hand on me.

When I first step my foot in this garden, almost all of the ladies stare at me with rage. I don't know what was that for but I'm sure, that the other nobles hated me for what I did to the prince.

Maybe sooner or later, they will create a nickname for me. I don't care anyways, if they want they can throw themselves in the prince's arms.

*rolls eyes*

"It is indeed." Lady Lizbeth replied. I took a deep breath and I look at Lady Lizbeth with serious eyes.

"Lady Lizbeth, do you trust me?" I blurted out of nowhere. Of course, she wouldn't trust me. Hell froze if someone did.

"Of course I do lady"

Ah? Hell froze...

"May I know what's the reason?" I curiously asked. No one has ever trusted this brat then why?

"I had heard some rumors about you My Lady, but I paid no attention because it is not my place to judge you. You may have your reasons to do that and I have no reasons why I should not trust you." If Juliette was here, She would burst out crying. During the time of her stay in the palace. All she did was weep. The King doesn't have any affection towards her. Nobody trusts her too. She was lonely all her life.

"Thank you." I gratefully said as I warmly smiled at her. A little number of tears formed at the sides of my eyes.

"You are always welcome."

"Do you mind If I come here to visit you, My Lady?" I asked. As I said, I need to take her on my side.

"I have no problem at all."

"Good! You can call me Julie!"

"You may call me Liz too!"

And at that moment I have someone I can call a Friend...
