My Man Is A Villain, So Am I!

Chapter 30 - 30: Tristan's Regret(8)

+++

On top of the mountain,

"I'm really sleepy, can I go now?" Prince Philip stopped at the moment when a woman suddenly came behind from his blind spot with her sharp blade pressing his back.

"Oh come on, Anna. You scared me." Richard stepped back and walked over the priest's body to the other side from Anna. Anna looked at Richard with her frowning face and a big eye bag under her eyes glaring at Richard.

She still wore her maid uniform at the moment, although her blade was covered with red flesh blood. Not a single drop of her target's blood stained her black and white dress.

"So what should we do with her? Let's hurry up so I can go back to sleep."

"I'll pay you overtime." Richard rolled his eyes and handed a bunch of cash to Anna. A beam of a smile appeared in an instant.

"Thank boss." she bowed to him ninety degrees and started counting her money happily.

Richard took a closer look at Irene, to be sure his magic a moment ago worked, he opened her eyes and it really worked since the mark of his magic remained in her eyeballs.

"This one is safe, she will be a good pawn to me."

"How about that bastard?" Anna glanced at the priest who was snoring on the ground.

"Eh? He's still alive?"

"You're weaker and weaker now to not noticing someone dead or alive."

"But he slept like a dead person."

"Anyway, this woman is really impressive to pull off such magic. Not good as yours though."

"He's my uncle, he's gonna die sooner anyway. Let's just head back."

"You're heartless as ever." Anna took off her black cape and covered Irene who was sleeping shivering in cold and walked back to her boss.

They walked down the stair together under the moonlight, the romantic smell of blood filled the air and the light breeze with the smell of the corpse they killed was wonderful.

"Hey Anna, do you remember--"

"If it's another thing about lady Marinette, I'll quit the job."

"Come on, don't be like that."

"Urgh...what??"

"I have good news and--"

"Bad news first!!" she cut him off immediately and threw the blade without looking to the remaining survivor to death and the blade returned to her hand as it connected to her.

"Flynn will betray us."

"I don't care. That's your problem."

"I keep getting the feeling he's going to betray me just like he did--opp, I almost spilled the tea." Anna looked annoyed not knowing the rest of what he wanted to say.

"So what's the good news?"

"You don't have to be the maid anymore."

"I see..." the atmosphere changed, Anna noticed and stopped her pace then grabbed another blade from the back of her dress.

"I was going to say..."

"Boss, I remember you saying the maid mission was my last mission...I don't want to die now, I don't want to leave my money behind." she smirked preparing for the upcoming situation.

"Anna...you should be obedient...it's a warning."

"Haha, no." the wind blew her hair at that time, she cut her hair off since it blocked her view of Richard. That was exactly when Richard dashed to her with the hidden dagger ready to strike right in her chest.

She threw her hair at him and summoned all her red blade levitating in the air aiming at Richard.

The stair broke from the impact of the dagger hitting the ground.

"Anna, you worked for me for years...you should know my style...I just want to make my comrade rest in peace."

"Shut up, you douchebag. I'm not your comrade, I only need money." she threw the money lighting it on fire, and attached it to her blade.

"Pfft, a new style?" Richard laughed mocking her and clashed all her blades at once with his sword.

Boom!!!

Smoke was everywhere, a shadow leaping around. Anna stood calmly in the middle watching his next move since that man wasn't in her league. That kind of trick won't work on him.

There was no such thing as winning against him, escaping was her only choice.

"Anna, you shouldn't be like this...I was the one who saved you from that dumpster, if it wasn't for me..."

"I don't care, you only trained me as your weapon. Get out of the shadow."

Swoosh

"You should have listened!!!" Richard came in front of Anna, all her blades broke immediately in his range of barriers.

Her eyes locked with his, her trembling hands couldn't resist the magic inside the barrier around his body.

Lost Magic: Hypnosis Command

"Jump from here and die!"

"Ack!!!!!!!" Anna grabbed the hidden dagger of the prince and stabbed it in one of the eyes that locked with him and vanished from there.

"Tsk, Flynn...go after her." a shadow jumped from the tree and followed the bleeding Anna like lightning.

Many projectiles shooted from her behind, Anna dodge them skillfully, the tree on the mountain collapsed one by one behind her trace, she ripped the clothes and used them to stop her bleeding ad could only rely on her one eye to escape.

"Sorry, Anna." Flynn said while pulling the trap he prepared ahead, the spider trap.

Anna burned it but it didn't burn on time, she was caught in his trap. The flesh which made contact with the spider silk burned and turned black.

Anna panted in fear as Flynn approached her closer and closer.

Meanwhile, Richard was sitting on the staircase enjoying the moonlight. He murmured to the beautiful moon, "He just came back and I ordered him to prove his loyalty...I'm such a bad boss."

Back to Anna and Flynn,

"You're only my junior!!!" Anna made her way out of the spider web cutting one of her arms off without hesitation and not a sound of her agony was heard.

It was as if she didn't feel pain.

"That bastard...for him to send Flynn to kill me, he's really prepared." Anna muttered and jumped to the ground running to the street.

Flynn already caught up with her, seeing Flynn jumping on the roof, Anna shed cold sweat and tried to think of the best way of possibilities for her to escape.

"Hey, Flynn!!!! I heard lady Marinette said she trusted you when she was drunk that day!!!"

"What're you trying to say??"

"What if she knew the truth?? Do you really think she would keep you by her side?!"

"...I don't care about that--"

"Flynn, you love her. Just admit it--" Flynn jumped off from the roof, Anna summoned her last remaining blade seeing the opening she was waiting for.

Swashhhh!!!!

"What an idiot." Flynn's body hit the ground on the pool of his blood.

"Who's an idiot?" Flynn pressed his finger on Anna's throat.

"I lost..." her lip was quivering admitting her defeat to be fooled by one of his tricks.

"Here's her head...your highness." Flynn walked back to the mountain and showed Anna's head to Richard.

Richard laughed loudly seeing the smug face of her finally shut up.

"You really did your job well...Flynn. Sorry for doubting you."

"I'm only loyal to you, your highness." Richard picked up Anna's head and threw it in the firepit they used to lit up the darkness.

He patted Flynn's shoulder and walked his way back to the royal palace.

Flynn smiled till Richard disappear from his sight, and then a figure was approaching him from behind.

"How did you--" it was Anna with her head still on her neck.

"Don't ask any questions, go to this place. With your information about prince Richard, they will accept you."

"What about you??! If you keep working for him, you will meet the same fate as me."

"I'm going to die anyway, just go." Anna walked away into the darkness with the map Flynn gave to her.

Flynn glared coldly at the firepit, the head of Anna turned to a skull...the flesh was made by the dark magic which Flynn obtained recently so it burned faster than the normal flesh.

Richard hadn't known about his new magic yet, he won't be suspicious.

"I...love her lady?" he put his hand on the right side of his chest, he didn't notice any strange about his heart like it was pounding or anything.

He laughed it off and returned to where he belonged for now which was his lady's side.

Silly him not knowing his heart on the left side was beating like crazy knowing that fact Anna told him.

Marinette (Sun-hee)'s POV

I suddenly felt a chill all over my body like someone was talking behind my back, I was super tired after talking and venting all my anger on Tristan.

I really didn't want to think about anything even the reason behind all the memories in my mind. It felt like I was Marinette herself.

I walked upstairs to my room, but when I saw the light of the study room was still on. My old habit occurred again, I subconsciously went to the study room of the duke to turn the light off since it was my habit to turn the light off for my father when he passed out from drinking.

When I opened the door, I suddenly felt the urge to cry even though I just cried a moment ago when I saw the man was sleeping on his desk with his works piled up over his head.

"You're still awake?" he rubbed his eyes looking at me from his desk.

"I just came home."

"Ah, really?" he organized his paperwork and one of it fell to my feet. I picked it up taking a peek at its content, I suddenly came up with the best solution right at that moment.

"About all the rumors, if there is another special event, it should delete all the rumors about us."

"I thought of that too. So it's really true that you did all the paperwork."

I was back on earth after the poisoning, so it must be the real Marinette who did that.

"I just wanted to help as much as I could, your grace."

"Your grace...huh?" he stood up from his desk and walked outside the room leaving me there and closed the door on his way out.

"You did a good job. I don't have to worry about you when I'm gone..."

"!!"

I walked out of the room to him, but he already walked to his room immediately without letting me see his face. I could hear the sound of the door locking in his room.

What was he saying??

The sun rose up, a new day began. Marinette walked out of her bed starting a new day after a day of exhaustion.

Last night, she really had a very...very...

"Bad sleep..." she muttered to the mirror in her room, the black circles around her eyes were so clear as the sky outside her window.

Her back ached everywhere, she knew that she dreamed of something last night but she couldn't remember it no matter how much she tried.

The only clue left was her trace of tears when she woke up.

She rang the bell, and a new maid appeared, it wasn't Anna as she expected.

"I'll be your new personal maid today."

"What about Ella??" she was really confused about the sudden change of her people.

"I don't know about the maid Ella, my lady. But I knew that I came to replace Anna's job."

Marinette was super confused and told the maid to get out of her room, she started searching everywhere for her diary.

She was hoping that the real Marinette would leave any trace behind on her diary, but her diary was gone.

Knock knock

"Who is it?" Marinette raised her voice asking the other person behind the door while she was crawling under the bed searching for the diary.

"It's me, I have something to talk to you about." Marinette knew whose voice it was and kept her composure when she walked to open the door for that person with a lovely voice.

"You also traveled back in time...Marinette." Diana shoved the diary to Marinette glaring into Marinette's eyes with hatred.

"...hey...aren't you a little full of yourself lately??" Marinette bumped Diana's shoulder and walked to lock the door.

Meanwhile,

On earth, Seoul,

"Doctor, doctor!!! How is she??" Ye-Joon ran to the doctor in a cold sweat when he saw him walking out of the emergency room.

His eyes kept glancing at the person in the emergency room, his mind was full of anxiety.

"This is the first case for me, for her to be like that...young man, did something happen to her before you sent her here??"

"She was only having a fever, a high fever!!!" he told the doctor.

"I'm afraid to tell you this, but that young woman is in the vegetable state."

"No way...Sun-hee...is in vegetable state??" his lip was shaking in disbelief as the doctor shook his head as he was telling him there was no way for them to know when she will wake up.
