The Villainess

Chapter 25

JULIETTE

The grand tea party comes to an end when the pretending Anna never came back and the Prince said that everyone could leave. Thanks to that, Adelle, Liz, and I have a lot of time to talk about the issue between the two dukedoms.

I can't believe that, but I'm not saying I'm believing it either. It's just it's hard to believe. It was based on a rumor that maids spread. We are not sure if it is true or not. It's better to set aside the thought of believing it. The book didn't mention the issue of the two households. The two-family is just a side character after all.

Adelle poke my side that distracted me from thinking. I look at her and make a face 'What!?'

"Here, I'll give you this." I look over at her palm, there's a necklace with a dark amethyst stone.

"Eh, but I already have plenty of necklaces..." I said feeling sad for no reason. It's just I already have anything I don't even need!

"It's not just a simple necklace my friend." She said and put her arms on my shoulders.

I raised one of my eyebrows at her, is she kidding me? Clearly, I can see with my very own eyes that it's an ordinary necklace with a dark amethyst stone.

"Hey Liz, go away." I won't doubt it if there's a day Adelle would get into trouble because of her foul mouth.

"What?" Liz said with shock and betrayal plastered on her face. it's like she had been betrayed by us.

"Ughh do the thing I said to you earlier!" Said Adelle with a hint of irritation.

"Ahh! Haiiii!" Liz stand up from her seat and she suddenly run away from us towards the rose wall maze.

What the hell is happening with these two? There's something they didn't bother to tell me.

"Hello?"

Huh? Where did that come from? And it sounds like Liz who just went away from us a while ago.

I look at Adelle and she's grinning at me. She seems like enjoying something which I don't even know.

"Hello, Lady Julie?" I look at the necklace on my palm and it's glowing now. I move it closer to my ear.

"Hello?" I said.

"It's me, Liz!"

Shock, amazement is written on my face. Liz is in the stone!?

"Aishh, whatever's in your mind it's wrong my friend." Adelle took the necklace from me.

"Liz, come back now." She said and we waited for a few minutes and Lady Liz came back.

"What? You're in the stone awhile ago."

The two just chuckled at me.

"It is entirely wrong Julie, this is called a gemstone. But it is mostly called communication stone."

Ah, so basically. It is a cellphone...

A useless cellphone without a game and a Bermuda app for online dating.

I suddenly remembered the Bermuda app. I downloaded it but I never got the chance to use it. Maybe if I had used it a little bit earlier, I would've experienced the extreme pleasure they called. But of course, the man should work hard to get my sweet YES.

I just sigh at the thought. I should erase the pleasure thing. I'm in the middle of escaping the obstacles in my front, and that is Anna and the prince. Escaping is not a joke in every kingdom. The guard at each gate is very strict. I need to have a fake identification card or steal an identification card from someone who is not a citizen in the kingdom.

Every person who enters and leaves the kingdom is strictly being watched by the royal guards of the king. Spy from another kingdom is lurking around they say.

Although, when I get Rozvette on my side, surely she would make a portal for me. But it's a bit risky. She's still young and as far as I remember. When owing a favor from her I need 100,000 gen for compensation

AN: 1 gen = 1 gold coin

        1 sen = 1 silver coin

        1 cen = 1 copper coin

(1 copper coin is used by commoners. 10 copper coins can be exchanged into 1 silver coin. 50 silver coins can be exchanged into 1 gold coin)

Rozvette, behind her title as the Magician of the kingdom. She has great greed for money. And she doesn't want copper nor silver, she prefers gold. Haaah she's great pain in the ass.

Before I turn 18 or up, I need to escape this kingdom.

In the original plot, when Juliette reaches the age of 18, the engagement between the prince broke off. But in the current situation, the engagement between us broke off at an early age, me 15 while the prince is 16.

And since the prince is showing some wicked sign. I need to bring the remaining two pillars of the kingdom to my side. Which are Peruevia and Hoeveria.

"Thank you for this Adelle." I smiled at her and she just nod at me.

"Oh, and by the way. How much is this?" I curiously said. This thing seems like a very important thing. So it must cost a fortune?

"Ah, don't worry about that my lady. It's not that expensive." She said with blatant proud expression and bold lettering on her forehead spelled PROUD or HAUGHTY

"Non-non Adelle, just say it or I will poke your eyes?" I threatened. I accidentally poke her yesterday and the other day and the day before that day too.

"I told you, it's not expensive, it only costs 500,000 Xen..."
