Chapter 4: Be a true Villainess
Abrielle was questioning herself about how she got into this situation. She was not even lucky to become the heroine but instead the villainess. She should have given the villainess a less tragic ending.
Thunder had abandoned her and she was surrounded by the royal guards. She could not understand why the royal guards were alerted of her escape. From what she remembered the prince was met to arrive close to evening. Since in Darconia, their weddings are at night.
The horses circled her blocking all her way of escape. "We have no intentions of harming you, Lady Abrielle, but if needed, we might be forced to use force. " One of the royal guards said. Abrielle had failed to escape and now her back was aching from the fall.
Today was a shitty day; despite her reluctance to follow them, she had no choice. There was no way she would be able to escape them, although there was a secret of Abrielle she could use, but it was a trump card she had to save for later.
Her hands were clenched by its side, and despite her frustration, Abrielle's determination didn't change. She would change her fate and survive this plot. After all, she was the creator. So she thought.
