HE/HEROINE AND MY VILLAINES

(BITTER)

"Yes, you can rest, for now. I already planted fifteen people in case something bad will happened," Sir Albert calm him,

"Thank you, why would you become King instead of me? You are a perfect candidate for it," Prince Adam mentions, and Sir Albert laughs at his words then looks at him, serious.

"Well, I may be wise, good at scheming and planning, but I am too easy to get lost to where I am heading, which is not beneficial for the people into this kingdom," Sir Albert respond.

"Is that why you give up your place and title as a royal prince of your father's south kingdom before?" Prince Adam brought up the past, and Sir Albert didn't deny it as he nods. Sir Albert was the third son of King Astrodon. The South King of Alfendra, the land full of crops and mystical creatures.

"Well, I have two older brothers, so my father doesn't need to worry about it, and yes, having everything means you are blessed but for me is a chained for it holds responsibility and high expectations to all people who saw you as powerful as god. And that life is not meant for me," Sir Albert answer,

"How can you say that without thinking twice?" Prince Adam asks, curious.

"Well, let's say I already saw the vision of it, and someone help me to clear it for me," Sir Albert mentions, and Prince Adam deep sighs.

"Good for you. I wish I could also choose what I should do to my life, but I can't because I'm the only son," Prince Adam mentions, and Sir Albert looks at him like he saw himself to him.

"Don't worry, I am here, and I will help you through it, but I must remind you that I won't live inside the castle-like ever, okay?" Sir Albert responds with a bit of a joke to brighten the atmosphere inside the room.

"Yes, I know, and thank you," Prince Adam smile at him,

"Don't thank me yet. You still face a problem, you know," Sir Albert mentions as he pointed outside his store. Prince Adam then deep sighs, showing a stress expression.

"Hahahaha, don't be too obvious you will hurt your father expectations," Sir Albert added,

"Well, if this is the test, then so be it," Prince Adam reply,

"You can get through it. But what about Lady Cathlen? Is your father also planted shadows to her?" Sir Albert mentions, and Prince Adam again felt pain inside his chest upon remembering what happened between him and Cathlen.

"Well... I don't know. I haven't checked on her since..." Prince Adam could not finish his sentence.

"Since?" Sir Albert asks, unaware.

"Since she told me that she wants to break our engagement," Prince Adam answer,

"SAY WHAT?" Sir Albert got shocked.

"Yes, she says it out loud without thinking twice,"

"Well... um... that is surprising,"

"Yeah, and I also think that she is hiding something from me," Prince Adam mentions,

"What do you mean by that?" Sir Albert asks, getting intrigued by his cousin's words.

"Well, I supposed to visit her in silence at night, but she is with people I didn't see before, and she can fight," Prince Adam mentions,

"What? Are you sure you're not dreaming?"

"I know, is hard to believe it we felt the same, but once I saw Sir Ken's neck, it has a bruise, and that's when I knew that all of it is not a dream, that is real,"

"Then?"

"Then I went to confront her about it..."

"So?"

"She didn't deny it then think that I am looking down to her,"

"Looking down?" Sir Albert got confused.

"Well, I ask her why she knows how to fight and where she learned it, then she answers, are you looking down on me?" Prince Adam continues talking and explaining as Sir Albert listens to him.

"And I answer her I don't. Then she told me she wants to break our engagement. That she doesn't want to marry me anymore, and she didn't let me explain," Prince Adam ended his speech. And Sir Albert looks at him with a question mark expression.

"You know... I still can't comprehend all of it, so all I can say is that. Talk to her once again, and you don't have to worry about Vendia. I got it under control. You can stand down for now and let your father's shadow fade itself,"

"But you know he will not stop,"

"Well, what do you want us to do?"

"I want them to reveal themselves and put a hole in their net,"

"What? How?"

"Well, I want you to put a clone on me,"

"Huh?" Sir Albert asks, confused.

"What I mean is when I visit your store tomorrow. I need you to hire one of your people to act like me and got out of your store. While I stay inside your store and when they're gone, that's when I escape and went to follow Vendia,"

"Are you crazy? You think, is simple to do what you want? If that happened, uncle might blame me for it," Sir Albert answer having second thought into Prince Adam's plan.

"But cousin, please," Prince Adam beg,

"No, let's stick to my plan. You stay put and do nothing, leave it to me,"

"But, I want to drift off my mind into his eyes and grip. I want to live like a normal person for only two days," Prince Adam confesses, and Sir Albert looks at him, still indecisive.

"Fixed your problem with your fiance first, then I will do what you want,"

"But..."

"So, you mean to say that you will go after Vendia not to protect her but to make yourself feel freedom for a while?" Sir Albert ask,

"Yes," Prince Adam answer, not denying it, and Sir Alber deep sigh.

"Okay,"

"Yay!"

"But, fixed your problem with your fiance first," He repeated,

"Yes, I will," Prince Adam answer smiling.

"Good, so what should we do after this?" Sir Albert asks,

"Well, like you said. I will stay down and let you take care of everything," Prince Adam reply,

"No, not that idiot. After this talk, what should we do?"

"Oh... nothing,"

"Huh?"

"I will go back home and take a rest, then visit Cathlen tomorrow to fix the problem between us,"

"Okay, go now," Sir Albert waves his right hand,

"Ouch, you're pushing me away already?"

"Yes, because all you brought to me is stress," Sir Albert savage reply,

"Well, you didn't stop me, see ya~!" Prince Adam responds and goes out of his store without receiving his reply.

"YAH! This ungrateful idiot..." Sir Albert shouts his complaints.

'Well... his right through,'

"I can't deny it because I saw myself to him and because of it. I decide to protect him," He mumbled when a person came inside his store wearing a smile on his face.

"Well... hello... how are you, Albert?" Butler Sed mentions and Sir Albert got surprised upon seeing him.

"You... why are you here?" Sir Albert ask,

"Oh, you remembered me? I thought you already forget about me..."

"How could I? You are the one who replaces my father's sister from the King's heart,"

"Oh... but your father's sister is the one who replaces my place first, and you know that," Butler Sed reply, smiling, not affected by Sir Albert's words.

"What is your reason for being here?" Sir Albert ask,

"Well, my husband's son came by, so why can't I?" Butler Sed reply, smirking.

"Take whatever you want to buy inside my store and leave," Sir Albert replies as Sed went over to him, then leans close to his left ear.

"Take care of helping him. I support you," Butler Sed mentions, then winks at Sir Albert as he then walks away and leaves the store. Sir Albert got stiffed into his place for a second, then got back to his sense.

"Hahaha ha, these crazy people," He mumbles within his laugh.
