Chereads / The Villain's Puppet / Chapter 8 - So pretty like a little elf

Chapter 8 - So pretty like a little elf

There was a sudden knock on the door at this time. Both Thea and Samantha became stiff as if they were afraid of being caught after doing something wrong. Thea quickly found her voice.

"W-who?"

"Young miss, it's me. I brought your... apple juice."

They heaved a sigh of relief.

"Okay, come in."

After drinking her juice and eating some snacks, Thea felt refreshed. She licked her lips, looking satisfied.

Samantha looked at her without blinking. Thea found it weird.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Samantha grinned.

"I'm admiring your beauty. Were you this beautiful in your previous life as well?"

Thea was indeed a beautiful girl.

She had delicate, fair skin. It looked soft and alluring. The most beautiful part of her body was the pair of light yellow eyes with slight grey in them. Her eyes were captivating. Anyone can lost in her gaze. They were bright like glittering stars. No! Actually, stars will lose to her eyes!

"Your dark brown hair and yellow-grey eyes... they are so beautiful." Samantha praised from the bottom of her heart.

Thea chuckled.

"Of course, my current body is beautiful. But speaking of my previous one... actually I was an average-looking girl with black eyes and black hair. Nothing was special about me. I never even had a boyfriend. No one took the initiative to ask me out."

Samantha side hugged her.

"Don't worry, bestie. Now you're so beautiful like a little elf. You will be in this world for your entire lifetime. So nothing makes you worry. You're good-looking and rich after all. Boys will fall head over heels for you and beg for your love."

Thea laughed but soon she stopped it and sighed looking sad. Samantha was quite upset.

"You're so moody." She complained.

Thea shook her head.

"No Sammy. I just recalled that I can't stay in this world any longer. I have to leave here soon. Thinking of it makes me really sad.

Samantha's eyes were wide open and they looked like they were about to pop out of her eye sockets.

"Whaat?" She blurted out.

Her eyes turned red and her face turned dark and gloomy. No, she really liked the new Thea so much! She couldn't bear to part with her so soon!

Thea hugged her.

"I can stay here if I fulfil my mission. When I came here, I wasn't aware of it. But later I found it out from Siri. She was the one who said I have to leave here if I can't complete my mission."

Samantha was confused about these mixed details.

"Girl, I can't understand clearly. Just explain it from the beginning. Start from how you came to our world." She said, looking like an old, mature aunt.

"Oh, sorry for stopping my story midway." Thea smiled apologetically.

"The hell!"

A boy's anxious voice echoed through the mansion. 

"What the heck?"

The butler and other servants became terrified as they rushed to their young master's room only to see him sitting on his bed, wearing his underwear. The young maids blushed and looked away at the sight of his shameless state. 

"Young master," The butler called out to him respectfully. "What happened?"

"No! No!" The boy jumped out of his bed and grabbed the poor butler's shoulders, shaking him violently.

"Tell me... This is a dream, isn't it? Tell me I'm dreaming!" He brushed a hand through his hair in frustration. His green eyes looked upset and devastated. 

"What are you talking about, young master? I can't understand anything." The butler was so confused. Then he turned towards the servants and waved his hand at them, motioning them to leave the room.

"First of all, you must wear your clothes, young master." He reminded him kindly. 

The green eyes boy looked down at himself, his face blushed instantly. 

"You go outside. I'll change and call you."

"Okay, young master. Call me if you need anything." 

"Hmm..."

Green eyes boy waited for the old man to disappear from his eyesight. His mind was in chaos. 

Suddenly, his phone started ringing, flinching him. 

"What the heck is that?" He touched his phone with a trembling hand. Out of nowhere, he could hear a voice ring through his mind.

'Fool, answer the call. Press the green icon using your fingertips.'

The green eyes boy did as the voice instructed. Soon, a voice of a boy could be heard from the other side.

"Don't panic." He said calmly. "Otherwise others might suspect you. Don't ruin our plan, you idiot!"

Green eyes boy sighed. 

"What do I do? Firstly, tell me who the hell I am!" 

"Let's meet up, bro."

"No, Your High..."

"It's Felix Schwann."

"Ewww... What?"

"I'm Felix. I think you heard it loud and clear."

"Gosh, Felix!" 

"Yep."

The green eyes boy went towards the mirror, carrying the phone with him. 

"Wow, I'm so pretty." He couldn't help exclaiming loudly.

The other party was silent for a moment.

"I'm about to lose my life. Come and rescue me."

The 'I'm so pretty' boy became flabbergasted.

"What?"

He waited for the other side to speak but he could only hear a 'Beep beep' sound and the call was ended.

"What the hell!" The pretty boy threw his phone to the ground. "How am I supposed to search you like this, Felix?... Or whoever you are..."

"Young master..." The butler knocked on his door.

"A boy told me that he wants to meet you. He's currently waiting for you in the living room."

"A boy?" He mumbled to himself before shouting, "Wait a sec. I'll be there."
