"This is bad..this is bad..this is bad" I mumbled as I kept pacing back and forth.
"Rachel, calm down. Everything will be okay" My Mother said as she clutched both of her hands.
"So you're saying that you made Sebastian lit up a fire there and the rest was all because of you?" My Father said as I nodded.
He released a big sigh as he sat down. "Then why did he shoulder all the blame?"
"Because that will make a good accusation when I'd get execute/exiled in the future!" I wanted to say it but I can't let them know that I have gone insane, trying to predict what will happen in the future.
Also...I don't want my male leads to be killed. I may be trying to avoid my doom but I don't want them to die just so that I can have my carefree and long life.
"The crown prince is here" An attendant announced to us as we all stood up and greeted the prince.
Ever since I woke up, he came to visit me every day. I even thought that once he saw me from the first time he visited me ever since I woke up, it would all be like: "How are you's" and the "Do you feel pain all over your body?" and the cliche sentence "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you"
But then, this is James we are talking about. Yes, James Gracheart, the arrogant and devilish prince.
"Ray! you still woke up? what are you made up of?!" The blonde-haired boy said as he opened the door to my bedroom with a loud bang.
"T-the prince?!"
He stomped angrily at me as he pointed "Not "The Prince" James okay?"He said as I nodded hesitantly.
We remained silent as he crossed his arms, clearing her throat. Once...twice, then the third time he spoke up. "D-do..."His head was hanged down as he said that.
D-do?
"Do you..." He gritted his teeth as he tried to search for the words he wants to say.
Do you...wait, has he heard about Sebastian? Well, of course, he had connections I guess, so of course he knew.
"Yeah, I heard," I said.
"Do you know about Sebastian's well being right now?" I asked.
"W-well....he's okay, I guess?" He asked, unsure. He was hesitant but that faded when he raised his head, pointing at me again.
Now that I think about it, he yelled at me for being irresponsible and accused me for trying to kill his friend!
WHEN did they become friends? I haven't seen them converse or anything at all!
"So what are we going to do Ray?" The prince said, or should I say, James. Ever since I woke up, he said that I should call him by his first name because we're "Fiance's" and mind you, I'm trying to break our engagement, but he insisted.
He even asked for help from my mother which she replied with an "Oh my, that's wonderful. The both of you would look more like fiances"
And Dad insisted. So, I have no choice!
I stood up and left the room. I have to meet up with Sebastian" I thought as I walked towards the prison cell, where he was held as a captive.
If he'd die, then I wouldn't know if the flow of the story will go with me, or maybe the heroine will use this against me in the future! Who know!
"Sebastian!!" I yelled as I got neared him. He was shocked to see me as he stood up and pointed "W-why are you here?!"
"I am here because I can go wherever I wanted!" I said as I stood in front of him, behind the bars.
"Did you make another trouble again?"
"What?! I would never do that!" I said as he stared blankly at me and nodded, not convinced at all.
Dang, I never even did anything wrong this time.
"Hey, Sebastian..." I trailed off. He sat down at the cold ground as he looked at me.
"What is it?" He asked as I grabbed the bars in front of me.
"Why did you try to shoulder all of the blames?" I asked. He thought for a while and smiled.
"I don't know...It just came out to me" He said. "I'm glad you're alright though, I heard that you were asleep for 3 days?" He questioned as he shrugged and laughed it off.
I still don't know if this person is insane or not. His life is at stake and he's laughing like it's nothing. I should get away with this person fast, he's not good.
"Are you not afraid of death?"
"I am afraid of death, but you know...if you'd shoulder those blames, that will rise up to rumors and gradually it will ruin your reputation and I...
don't want that" It was silent, but I can hear what he said. I see he does care. I smiled at myself and banged my head at the iron bars.
"W-what are you doing?!" He said as I groaned in pain.
"Don't worry! I'll definitely find a way for you to avoid your punishment!" I said.
"I'll definitely stop those who want to behead you! you hear me?!" I yelled as I pointed at him, who was shaking.
"B-beheaded? Lady--" What? He didn't know? I shouldn't have said that out loud! This will only make him more afraid!" I thought as I saw him shake.
"D-don't worry, Don't be afraid, I'll find a way!" I reassured him as he opened his mouth to open.
"Lady--"
"I have to go now! More guards will be coming here. Later!" I said as I ran to the room where I left my parents and the prince earlier, and surely they were still there.
"--As I told you, everything's going to be fine. You all are overreacting" My mother said as I burst in.
"Also, Sebastian is going to receive his punishment this time around, shouldn't we be there to witness it?" Mother said as she stood up.
Wait what?! This time around?!
"Sebastian's getting his punishment today?!" I shouted.
"Manners, and yes--"
"Bye!" I said as I dashed outside, as my father kept his pace with me, along with James.
Surely, the execution will happen at the town, out at the public so we took the carriage to go there. My mother tried to catch up with us, panting.
"W-where are you guys going?!" she asked as she tried to catch her breath. We don't have time so we left without her "Wait! Wait for me!" Mother said as we heard a loud horn at the town.
"No no no no"
People were starting to pack up as we tried to move through the crowd.
"The moment had arrived. We will be beheading this---"
"STOP!!" I yelled as I stepped down. Immediately, the whole crowd started whispering. I tried to not shield myself in embarrassment. Why do I feel like someone's getting married and I'm the intruder trying to stop the wedding?
I inhaled sharply as I shouted once again. "Sebastian Camps is my personal butler, whether he committed a crime or not is for me to decide!" I shouted as the crowd went silent.
"My daughter is right," My father said as he stood next to me.
The announcer started to shake when he kept on glancing at us and to the paper, back and forth.
"Wait, personal butler? Sebastian camps? That old man?"
"Yeah the one who committed an assassination to the Beucaire family"
"But that wasn't his name at the poster"
Was what I heard.
"Elliot Vallemont and Rachel Vallemont! What are you both doing here?!" A familiar voice shouted at us. The both of us who heard our names stiffly looked at the woman who was gripping to the reins of the horse that she was riding.
"Um...trying to not kill Sebastian?--" I said as a man came into view with guards around him. He looked like...My eyes searched for the poster and I saw a poster that said:
"Jules Brawn will be beheaded for assassinating the Beucaire family"
"Who told you that Sebastian is getting killed?"
"Father," I said as I pointed to my father who also pointed to the Vallemont mansion and said a "Jackson"
"Duke, I didn't said that, if I did, I would've begged you to save my son now wouldn't I?" A man that looked like he was at the age of my father said. He was wearing a formal attire and looked like Sebastian...a lot.
And wait what?
"Really? Then I must've heard it wrong..."My Dad whistled as he tried to walk away.
He's really Elliot Vallemont. Ediot(Idiot) Vallemont
