The Villainess Wants To Go Home

Chapter 20 - Dark



Chapter 20 - Dark

I spent 30 minutes listening to the boring conversation between the two. There was times when Ariana

tried to get my attention by flirting with the prince, but I was busy eating my cookies and cake to even

care. I'm not in love with the prince but I despise him so doing all those things of giggling and making

the prince fall for you even more just made me gag.

I looked at Damon who was sipping on his tea when suddenly his eyes shifted to mines. I was drawn

into his gold eyes that enchanted his looks. He looked really handsome, messy jet-black hair swaying

in the light breeze, strong jawline, and his pure milky skin reflecting the sun.

"Is there something matter Diana" he growled slamming his cup down.

"Nope." I said shoving the fork full of cake in my mouth and ignoring his gaze again.

"Actually, they might be something" I just thought of something. Damon is having a difficult time with

dark magic that's going around his kingdom. Maybe I could get some gold from helping him. Not like I

care whether he fails or not I just need the money.

"And that is" he rose an eyebrow, glaring down at me again pissing off me the second time. "I get you

hate me but please stop glaring at me like that it's giving me second thought of helping you" I drank my

tea ignoring the sudden gasp coming from Ariana.

"Diana how could you say something to his highness".

I looked to my side where he was, staring at me shocked but his expression changed into suspicion.

"Help me with what?" Damon curiously said with the same cold voice as he pinched his chin.

"I heard the rumours going around that the dark users are multiplying, and the knights haven't done

anything about it. They even stated that you're working with them." it's true, in the novel people came to

suspicious that the only reason why their crown prince wasn't able to stop the dark users is because he

was part of their cult. It took awhile for the rumours to die down.

I remember in the novel the dark users were a cult of people who believed dark magic is the only

source of power, they worship the orcs for introducing them to such powerful magic just like witches

worshipping Satan. They grow in numbers trying to find the crystal to free the orcs foolishly believing

that Agon the orc lord a supreme user of dark magic would spare them and include them in his army.

They are powerful and wicked people, killing anyone who possess anything other than dark magic.

The Dark users are one of the obstacles in Ariana's way to finding the crystal. They would be my

problem if they find out I'm looking for it or if encounter them.

Damon has spent most of his teenage years finding ways to stop them from entering his kingdom but

come to no conclusion neither could he find a solution now except when he embarks with Ariana to

stop them and find the crystal.

He had a calm expression on his face. "So, you heard the rumours about me being part of the cult

could that be the reason why you agreed with the annulment of our engagement." he smirked placing

his chin on the back of his hand. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Ariana freeze in her spot, unable to

rise her trembling hand to take a sip from her cup. It seems our engagement is still a sensitive topic

towards her.

I gave him a dauntless look.

"Even if you were part of their cult, I still would have agreed to the annulment" I answered his question.

"I take that hard to believe, Lady Diana" he said coldly still not shifting his gaze away from me. I sighed

"Believe what you want, it's not like your words are going to affect me in any way"

"Your highness they are just rumours. They don't know what they are talking about, your doing the best

you can to stop the Dark users. You could just enounce to the people your aren't working with them. It

would solve a little of your problem" Ariana said trying to budge herself in knowing her ridiculous idea

could ruin everything.

"Yes, I could" he pinched his chin in deep thought. "But how am I supposed to announce that when the

whole kingdom is under suspicion".

"I wouldn't even announce it at all" I interrupted them. 'Ariana sweetheart, we don't want Prince Damon

dying in this world because of your stupid ideas again. You killed Edmond, Neil, Lykos and Aspen

already we don't him dying to'.

Damon glanced at me in confusion, eyeing me for any evil intentions.

"You said you wanted to help me. How are you going to help? Your nothing but a noble lady with no

experience in such matters"

'Actually, I have way more experience than you. Plus, I'm older than you by like a year so you should

respect your elders!'

But his talking about Diana. Diana didn't know anything about war, tactics or fighting or how to come up

with a plan. She was just the dumb, unwanted, and foolish daughter of the Grand Duke.

"Whatever don't get my help but don't come crawling back to me begging for help" I shrugged.

He clenched his fist and glanced at me coldly.

"What is your plan to stop them. Diana"

I looked at him sternly in his eyes. "Become what the people rumour you to be".Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Ariana choked on her tea and Damon's eyes widened, dumbfounded of what I suggested.

"What are you implying Diana" Ariana said. "That our prince become one of them. Diana what is going

through your head" she said in a meek voice trying to get his attention, yet the prince still had his

stunned expression and was looking at me when suddenly his expression changed to a realisation.

"I think I know where your headed Diana" he finally understood my intention. The Author wasn't kidding

when he written Damon as a sharp and intelligent character, nevertheless he needed me to tell him

what to do. So disappointed.

"what" Ariana was shocked, I saw her eyes dart to mine with those sinful eyes. I could hint that she was

telling me to stop stealing her spotlight. 'Sorry Ariana but my mouth spoke sooner then my mind".

"If rumours reaches the ears of dark users that your part of them, they will instantly make their way

here thinking its safe." Twirled the fork with my hands getting his full attention.

"Hmm your might be right. That way I'm able to capture them" he rubbed his chin.

"Yeah, but don't jump in too quickly, be patient and wait for your enemy to strike first."

"Then what should I do for now" He asked coldly but his voice hinted he was impressed and fully aware

of my idea. "Send someone loyal to you but someone who's not well known around the kingdom into

town, spreading the rumours even further while he spies around." I kept going on with my plan.

"Then when that is done wait a couple of days before sending another loyal person to you into town

pretending to be a dark user that way you can get reports about their moves easily". Damon monotone

expression was plastered on his face while Ariana's face became pale.

"I presume you know what to do next" I stood up patting down my dress. I was tired being around them

already and I wanted to go back to the mansion.

"I'm going to excuse myself" I bowed, "thank you for inviting me Ariana and thank you for the tea you

royal highness" I was about to turn around when suddenly I heard Damon call my name.

"Diana"

"Is there something the matter" I crossed my hands and stared him in the eyes. He cleared his throat

before he spoke. "The plan." His voice changed into something calm instead of cold like usual.

I rose an eyebrow curious of where this was going. "I would go with your plan" he said confidently as

he rose his chest up. "If it works the way I expect it to, I will reward you". "Thank you" I bowed again.

I looked towards Ariana who sat there with a pale face, speechless. I smirked. 'I warned you Ariana'.

"Ariana thank you for coming but it seems like I have got business to attend to" he said getting up

already fired up to go with the new plan.

"Goodbye"
