My Man Is A Villain, So Am I!

Chapter 76 - 76: Who Will Save Her? (3)



On earth,

"When will the author release the new volume??!!"

"Yeah, it's too long!!!! We're waiting like crazy!!!"

"Will Marinette survive or not?????!!!"

The number of comments on one forum about the novel 'You're my precious gem.' started increasing day by day and they shared the same motive as they were anticipating for the next volume of the series.

"Ye-Joon, it's way past the deadline now...you should hurry."

Ye-Joon put his hand down in a frown after hanging up, the room was full of paper with scribble as he couldn't make up his mind to write the next plot.

He sighed then walked to the fridge to grab the bottle of water not for himself to drink but for the devastated man sitting in the corner of his apartment.

"Drink some water, will you??"

"Thank..." the man took the bottle and drank it all with one gulp.

He wiped the droplet off his lip then sulked at the corner again.

"I shouldn't agree to write for you at that time. I know this would come."

"..."

"Ji-hoon, are you getting writer block??" the man turned out to be Ji-hoon, he raised his head staring at Ye-Joon then shook it.

"Then why don't you tell me what happens next?? How can I write if you don't tell me what happens next?"

"..." Ji-hoon laid himself on the floor holding his legs, Ye-Joon almost gave up on him at that point. He went to get his laptop then wrote the story by himself since the real author of the novel got depressed.

Two hours later,

"I killed Marinette, Philip, Victor, and Aurora too. Demon Valencia was the one who killed them!!"

Hearing that, Ji-Hoon got up to the desk immediately and yelled at Ye-Joon, "What're you doing??? It's not supposed to be this way."

"Then what??? What??? What will happen??? The readers are cursing me out there as we're talking. Should I wait for you to recover first???"

"You don't know anything!!! I write this story because of her...but now she's gone...who am I going to write for???"

"Then why do you care how this story goes??? Let's just kill all the troubles and then make Diana fall in love with Richard again. It's just a story...it's not like they're real people."

"...no...they're all real."

"What...'re you talking about?? Are you having a fever again??" Ji-Hoon pressed the delete button and all the letters Ye-Joon wrote vanished to the black paper on the laptop's screen.

"It's time for me to tell you the truth."

"...why are you looking so serious?? There's no time for a joke."

"That novel is my past life. And Marinette is the one I love." not a trace of lies appeared in that high school Ji-hoon's eyes. It became difficult for Ye-Joon to tell if it was a lie or the truth.

But he still went along the flow and asked Ji-hoon, "Then who are you in that story??"

"I am...am...******."

"What???!!! And did Marinette love you back???" Ye-Joon chuckled hearing the answer.

"Marinette...she...is the one I always love...but..."

On Anastasia, the northern empire,

"I'm pretty sure it's this way..." the man entered the secret entrance in the mountain, and even managed to get out of the mountain but there wasn't any trace of Marinette.

He ran and ran to the village at the border hoping for Marinette and Valencia to be there, but it was quiet, not a single soul was spotted there.

"Did she return to the empire?? Or she went back to the northern empire??" he was puzzled as he lost Marinette. He sat depressed on the big rock at the corner of the village then pulled out the book in his bag, the one that the destruction gave him.

He burned it without looking at its content.

"I will return to square one again if I use the shortcut...no matter how she's feeling about me, I will accept it in this life..." he turned depressed blowing the ash off his hands.

Victor accepted the book since it will take a long time to deal with that woman, she will persuade him for hours so he took it right away.

There was still a trace of fire in the village, and some supply of the armies but it was like a ghosted village.

"Victor??" a familiar voice called his name, he was glad to hear that voice since it meant Marinette must be there too for that speaker to be there but when he turned to that voice, only one person stood before him.

"Valencia, where's Marinette???"

Valencia became furious with her blood boiling ran to kick Victor as soon as she heard his voice, her nose didn't fool her.

"You dare to ask that, you monkey???!!! Marinette Unnie let herself be arrested for you!!!

"What??!?!!! I only left for a minute!!"

"Some bastards transformed into you and fooled us, that's what happened!!! Now go save my Unnie or I'll kill you."

"What about you??? You're a powerful de--I mean you're strong, why don't you save her that time???"

"She told me to search for the woman named Aurora at the capital."

Victor caught up with everything rushing to the northern empire immediately. But he didn't forget to wave his hand goodbye to Valencia.

'Wait, ahh...I'm so dumb.' he forgot Valencia was blind.

"I'll save her!!!!!!"

"You'd better do!!!!" Valencia yelled back and then continued what she was doing before Victor came to the village.

"Argh...how can she let a blind person search for a person???" she stretched her hand then tried her best to smell for some crow around the village.

But there was none. She had no choice but to trust her hunch and walked aimlessly relying on her nose and sense.

"There's some sort of portal here..."

The Royal Palace of the north,

The man sat on the throne frowned his eyebrows when the blond hair woman walked inside the throne room covered in blood.

Prince Philip's eyes shook as his eyes widen when seeing the person that woman dragged inside the room.

"Your majesty..." she threw the body of the person she brought inside the throne room to her feet then pulled the white hair up to show that face to the northern emperor.

"Did you do it??"

Clink Clank

The blonde hair woman dropped the empty bottle on the red carpet then grinned satisfyingly at the emperor.

"Of course, she's so stupid!!! HAHAHA, she really believed my lies. Why don't we kill her right now?? She's only unconscious at the moment." the emperor laughed out loud seeing how alike that woman was to him when that woman pointed the dagger slicing the flesh of Marinette.

"Yeah!!! Kill her!!!!"

"HAHAHA" Diana laughed and pressed the dagger on Marinette's hands, Prince Philip couldn't stand by anymore and changed the topic.

"Your majesty!!! About what you said earlier!!"

"Ah, right...I was going to marry you to my daughter. And my daughter is none other than the person before you." Diana dropped the dagger was taken aback by the sudden thing the emperor just said.

"Marrying your daughter???" Philip glared at Diana.

"Your majesty, please reconsider!!! I'm already in love with...someone."

"Ah really??? Then you can make that person you love your concubine. There, it's all done. And you too, prince...you don't have any choice but do what I said...if you want the throne, that is."

The emperor got up from his golden throne then walked to Diana patting her head for a moment then left the room. The door was shut, the darkness and an intense atmosphere filled the room.

The only sound was Marinette's blood dripping on the floor.

The light breeze that came from the window made the curtain fluttered, Prince Philip walked from that curtain to Diana.

"Oh, isn't this the illiterate prince???"

"I don't think we meet again so soon."

"So what now?? Do you want to go against Richard??? You think you can win???"

"I don't hate my brother or anything, I only have my eyes on the throne."

"Why wanting something you gave up in the first place???"

"I'll take my leave now...but can you do me a favor??"

"What is it??" Diana dropped her smile after smiling the whole time when hearing the sudden change in Philip's tone.

"I don't want you to kill Marinette, she will be useful for me."

"Hmm?? What if I refuse?? How about this?? Why don't you tell me all your plans first?? I might consider sparing this wench..."

"You..."

"I'm what?? She's nothing to me, I always wanted to kill her."

"If you touch her, I'll--"

"What will you do??? Prince Philip..." Diana turned herself to Philip then pressed her finger on Philip's chest.

"Philip, Philip, the illiterate prince, the stupid prince...you can do nothing except sell your body to me to get some of the northern armies...you have no right in what I'll do."

"You seem to misunderstand something...I don't know how you become the princess of this empire...but that marriage won't happen."

"Yeah, of course, it won't. The only person I love is Victor. You will only be my concubine."

Thud!!!

Diana used her death roses magic immobilizing Philip at once when she noticed the light magic coming from his hand healing Marinette.

"You can't kill her!!!"

"And why not???" Diana raised her voice and then pulled the sword from Philip's waist to stab Marinette right in her stomach.

Arghhh...

The groaning agonizing sound escaped from Marinette's pale lip as her body curled like the letter C enduring the pain.

'Now what will you do, Philip...???'

To be continued....!
