My Man Is A Villain, So Am I!

Aurora's POV

You...

You...swear you will return the necklace when you're done...

How...how...dare you break the promise??? 

No...no...I...

Huff huff

My leg felt numb, all the buildings I ran across looked the same with the red roof, the sky was blue but the thing chasing after me was gray. All the thing in the world was colorful but it kept chasing me devouring every bit of color from me.

The pink hair turned black, and the blue eyes turned black.

I stumbled over the rock, the fresh blood still attached on my knees but I got up and ran because if I didn't run, that thing will devour me whole.

"Aurora!!!! Give me back the necklace!!!"

"I will!! I will!!!!"

+++

Huff huff

"Young lady, you will catch a cold sleeping here."

"Ah...thank...thank you."

Thank goodness it was only a dream, I completely forgot about the necklace. To think it appeared in my dream...

I got up from the table at the library and went for one more search to find the book leading to some secret of the empire.

It is the only library, if I can't find anything here, then my last choice is to go investigate in the royal palace.

I gulped seeing the knight in the dragon form walked with the spear back and forth even though it was already midnight.

Hmm...

There's something kinda strange about all these history books.

<Dancing in the moonlight~No one look good and nice~As you babyyy~>

Who played such music in the library???

Anyway back to the topic, in each and every history books I read (Skip the useless part), to sum it up, some part of the history was missing.

The question is...

Where did the dragon come from?

Two, why did the dragon bestow their power to human beings in this empire?

And third, why does the dragon stay so obedient despite its cruel nature?

Haa...

Secret, what's the secret this empire is hiding?

<Your eyes are like a gem, I would smiling beam when I laid my eyes on you~babyyyy>

I can't focus because of the music.

"Excuse me, sir...sir!!!"

"Yes, yes??" he played the music with some sort of magic orb, he wore glasses had a beard. He really looked like someone who even read the book on the toilet reminded me of Sun-hee.

"Can you turn it down for a little bit??"

"Hah...my name is Ali."

Why did he yell?? And when did I ask for your name?

"I said...turn the volume down please!!"

"What??? You want to dance??? Who stops you??"

"No!!! Turn the volume downnnnnnn"

"Turn the volume up!!!??? Okay!! It's a piece of good music, isn't it??"

Forget it...

I picked up the book then went to hid behind a bookshelf at the corner to use the weather magic and turned my body to wind and escape with the book.

It was really convenient magic except my magic relies on the MP right now.

My MP(magic power) is really low.

I should find a way to increase my status and my level at that. And the best way to level up is...

Complete mission...urgh...

Alright, I'm a reader. I have the clue on my palm but there's still a missing piece, let's find every possible answer.

One, the dragon was tamed by an emperor along the line.

Two, the dragon and human made an oath.

And three, a human was able to defeat the dragon.

Clink Clank

I heard the sound of the sword clashing at the remote alley on my right side, two people were fighting fiercely, one with the sword and the other one with the alcohol bottle.

I should ignore it.

I didn't choose the swordmaster thingy, so it's useless for me to fight against those talented swordmen--

Victor???

Ah...why can't those characters just stay in one place???!!

Before it was Marinette and Diana, and now Victor ended up here too???!!

Who else, the first prince??

Seriously...

Weather Magic: Rain! Fog! Combine!

"What's going on???!!!"

"What in the world???!!!"

"What's this water??? Where does the water fall from???!!!"

Did these people never see rain??

I didn't know the consequence of summoning rain in the empire surrounded by snowy mountains...all the light of the house turned on, and everyone came to the street gathering to take a look at the rain.

I changed my body to wind and then went to carry Victor's body from...Diana??

Her eyes...are blue...

"What--"

She looked scary as the blood on her hands keep dripping as she was chasing Victor, her hand holding the broken bottle, every drop of blood mixed with the rainwater, yet her gritted teeth really showed that she wanted to kill Victor.

If I didn't have the weather magic, I would be stabbed in the neck by Diana.

"I'm Aurora...you know...emm...we met once...at the square...yeah, yeah..." I told him my identity as we stood on the rooftop after escaping from Diana's claw.

"...you're Marinette's friend..."

"Yep...yep!! You're bleeding. Let me find something to wrap your wound."

"It's not important, I need to find Marinette." he held the wound on his right arm by himself even though I insisted on helping him dress the wound.

I thought Diana loves Victor, how did it get so messed up?

"Let's find her together, but we need you in the best condition. You're bleeding right now, it might get infected."

"...fine..." he took his own handkerchief and stretched it to wrap his wound. It only took a minute, yet this guy was so stubborn on finding Marinette.

I want to find her more than you...

"Alright, let's go...emm...do you even have any idea where she is?"

"..."

"You don't know, do you?" I shook my head in disbelief.

"She might be in the prison..."

"How many prisons are there in this empire?"

"Two. One underground."

"You checked the underground, I'll check the other one."

"Got it."

Meanwhile,

Marinette's POV

"That dragon is moving again, your highness."

"I know...maybe I should pay the mighty dragon a visit."

Ah...

<Dancing in the moonlight~No one look good and nice~As you babyyy~>

A rock fell down hitting the glass of the glasshouse, thanks to the music playing, the insiders didn't hear it.

Philip glared at me, but I pretended as if nothing happened and moved closer to listen to what they were talking about.

It might be an important clue--

Drip drip

Huh???

"Philip!!!!"

"Your majesty...it's raining!!!"

Huff huff

"What in the world??!!! How did it rain??!!!"

Urghh...

The emperor rushed out of the imperial garden to take a look at the rain while I grabbed the rock with my own life on the line with my one hand.

"Did I just hear something...?"

"!!!"

Please don't notice...

Just a few inches more, if he turned in our direction, Philip's body would get exposed.

Huff huff

His eyes stared right into mine, Philip was ready to let go of my hand but I still hold onto his. My hands felt numb and the other hand grabbing the rock was bleeding.

"Oliver, hurry."

"Yes, your majesty..." the light turned out, I finally got a spare of time to breathe in relief. I grabbed his hand and brought him back up.

The rain made the rooftop slippery.

"I can heal myself, you know..."

"You can heal your wound, but that didn't mean you won't get hurt--" 

"Is your hand okay??? You're bleeding...seriously...you should have gone back to the capital when I told you."

I kept getting deja vu.

Light Magic: Blessing of Goddess

The wound was healed by the light and pure magic of the first prince.

"Thank...your highness."

"I'll go my way now...don't follow me."

Alright, alright!!! Stop with that glare of yours.

The fog got thick from the rain, I barely saw his back in the rain as he ran in the other direction.

Urgh...

"I wasn't hurt by this wound...prince..."

Cough cough

I tied my clothes tighter to prevent the blood from the wound of my stomach from bleeding. My light magic didn't completely heal the wound on my stomach and the wound opened again when I saved the first prince.

No time to whine about the pain, I need to follow the emperor. If he'll go to visit the dragon, I can't miss that chance.

There must be something happening behind why the dragon moved out of the sudden.

I ran in the same direction as the first prince with caution, I didn't even dare to look at the ground because it only made me feel more frightened by it.

"Why are you here again...?"

"Shh!!" I shut his mouth with my hand. Luckily, I made it on time before the emperor and Oliver switch their place.

Olive who disguised as the emperor rushed to the citizen to calm them about the rain explaining it as nature.

"You might don't wanna see this..." prince Philip smirked at me pulling out his sword.

He really has the same thing on his mind.

"I'll pull some string behind you. Make it in one cut."

"Suit yourself."

Swing...

Death Roses Magic: Rose Vine

The vine wrapped around Oliver strangling his neck as the prince swung his sword beautifully cutting that guy's neck.

Oliver's head dropped down the ground, but in everyone's eyes, it was the emperor of their empire instead.

"Two birds...one stone."

"Catch the criminal!!!"

Death Roses Magic: Rose Monsters

I grabbed Philip's hands after I summoned three monsters made of roses to stop all of those knights. There was blood on his hand, and my hand was the same as him.

I looked back at the head of the one who died by us, starting at us with a grudge unable to rest in peace.

Death Roses Magic: Rose of Love

It was the spell I used to summon roses for the guy who had that face, it was that face that I got to know...

Rest in peace, Oliver...

[Must protect...his majesty...]

[I didn't die...didn't die...his majesty needs me...]

[I haven't got to torture Marinette yet...I need to...need to...]

My eyes widen when seeing the soul floating on Oliver's body was still kneeling and staring blankly at the task list he always carried around with his lip murmuring those words--

"Don't look, stay strong...Marinette..."

A big warm hand was put on my eyes which were filled with tears, I bit my lip watching such a thing...the eyes which could see soul was a curse...how am I gonna kill someone if I keep seeing that???

"...I need my eyes to see the road...you can relax now..." I put his hand back down but his hand was still grabbing mine tightly not letting it go.

His hand was slightly shaking, I stared at his eyes...I was reminded of how he cried in my dream.

...I can't seem to understand you, prince...

To be continued....!
