My Man Is A Villain, So Am I!

Chapter 32 - 32: The Female Lead(5)



On the street, in front of the duchy,

Huff huff

"Antidote...I need antidote..." the priest with pale skin and messy long hair walked on the street no longer caring about his image any longer. His life was like a ticking bomb and he knew for sure without Marinette, he will die.

He walked with his long hair covered half of his face to the duchy but his emotion was mixed up when the duchy was destroyed and the conversation of people in front of the duchy.

"Lady Marinette and lady Diana disappeared!!!"

"Did they get caught up in the explosion?? I think no one could survive that explosion, it was so loud even from my house.

He had a slight grin on his face but the stroke in his heart felt the opposite since he won't be able to survive if Marinette died.

The only way to save himself was to find her and force her to give him the antidote.

"Someone!!! Stop that guy!!!" the priest flinched when he heard the woman running after him from afar. Everyone avert their attention to him, it was Irene chasing him. He was going to avoid her by using the shortcut to get off the mountain, he didn't expect Irene to catch up to him fast like that.

He started to run pushing other people out of his way to get away from Irene.

Irene, once she set her eyes on the wrecked duchy and the people lifting duke Jellal's body to the hospital, stopped for a moment but then continued running when she used her special eyes on the surrounding.

There was no one who died in the duchy, she was relieved.

"The new duke was nowhere to be found, where could he be at the moment like this??"

"I heard duke Tristan couldn't do the duchy works and left it to lady Marinette, is it true he didn't want to be the duke?"

"It must be true..."

Irene glanced at those people, that time, unlike the other time when she stood back and stared right into their soul to know what kind of people they are, instead she walked to them.

"How can you judge someone so fast? People like you were just all talk when you couldn't do anything like them!" she no longer believed in such a thing as a good soul or bad soul any longer.

She won't let her eyes cover her judgment ever again.

She left those people and started chasing the priest again.

'Did I hear Marinette?? Isn't that white-haired lady named Marinette? I wonder where is she.'

+++

In the north mountain covered in snow,

Her white hair was blown along with the wind and her eyelashes already turned white from the cold temperature at the mountain.

She hugged herself to make herself warmer, with only the sleeping clothes, her chance of surviving nearly dropped to zero.

Her teeth were trembling, the only thing she could see was snow, snow, snow, and a snow dragon.

'Oh sh*t!!!'

ROARRRRRRRRRRRR

Its size was ten times bigger than her, from what she knew, the dragon was only adult at most with that size but with one of its breaths, the green tree turned frozen and broke in an instant.

It chased after her from the upper mountain to the ground, in its eyes, she was just a toy for it to play with.

She tripped rolling down, her body hit with the big and small rock making her cough blood along the way.

Her head started to get dizzy, the dragon put its claw on her body with its mouth wide open ready to devour her.

The saliva dripped on her hand, and its teeth blocked all her view, but a miracle happened out of nowhere when the dragon took back its intention to eat her. It took her on his body and flew her to the warmer place.

The white-haired woman was confused but she took a deep breath in relief when she survived for another day. She won't die in peace if her death would turn out like that.

On the other side of the snowy mountain, 

The blonde-haired woman with pink eyes was riding on the back of the horse along with the black-haired guy behind her with his arm reached out to grab the leash to ride it smoothly off the mountain. It was the horse found on the mountain that was already attached to the saddle and leash.

His chest was warm as she leaned back on his chest, she was frightened by the sudden change of the thing happening.

She had many things to do but it was all ruined when she was teleported to the mountain full of snow and snowstorm, and especially the snow dragon.

ROARRRRRRRRRR

Ack!!!

The black-haired man grabbed her and jumped off the house before the breath of the dragon hit them, the breath froze the white horse into the block of ice and crumbled falling down the mountain.

"Are you okay, Diana??" he asked her and grabbed her body putting it on his shoulder, and ran off the mountain with the dragon chasing after them.

"Diana??!!" she was super confused but tried to hold onto him because her leg didn't have any energy to run. If it wasn't for him who came to her like a prince on the white horse a moment ago, she would already freeze to death.

"There's a cave ahead!! Let's go in!" she turned her head looking at the cave he pointed his finger at.

But the size of the cave will allow the dragon to get in as well, so she tried gathering the remaining magic in her strange body.

Somehow her body felt light, and not painful like before even gathering the magic energy was much easier.

Death Roses Magic: Poisonous Spike

The rose spike came out of the snow and pierce one of the dragon's wings immobilizing it there as it screamed in pain.

Its scream caused the snow on the peak of the mountain to come toward them, she opened her mouth wide when seeing the big avalanche coming toward them.

And the distance between the cave and them was like heaven and hell.

"Hurry up, you second male lead!!"

"Ack!!! Stop it!!" he slapped her hand which pulled his ear and threw her body in the cave before him and then jumped in the cave right after.

They made it in time but unfortunately, the snow covered the entrance completely.

The cave was in complete darkness not even a ray of light coming in. They both grunted in pain as one of them with her head hit the rock and one of them got a rock that fell on one of his legs bleedings.

"Diana, are you okay??!"

"I'm not Diana!!!! Damn it!!!"

"Did you hit your head with the rock?? Did you even forget your name??"

"You dumb second male lead, shut up!! And stop calling me that name!!" she shouted at him in anger and touched her head softly. It felt like her head almost cracked because of the black-haired guy who threw her.

"Why do you keep calling me second male lead??? I have a name too, it is Victor."

"Yeah, whatever. Just light a fire or something. I can't see anything." she was so pissed off at that time because of all the crazy things that happened to her after she returned to this world.

"I don't know fire magic."

"Neither do I." they crawled to each other following each other's voice and holding each other's hand not to lose each other.

As they were closer together, she could see his face with golden eyes a little. That goes for Victor too, he saw her beautiful pink eyes.

"Now what do we do??" she asked him with her lip quivering in coldness and her body was trembling as the temperature in the cave was even colder than the outside.

Victor took off his jacket immediately once he heard she was cold.

"What're you doing?!!!" she thought he was going to do something awful to her, but instead he put the jacket around her pink dress to keep him warm.

"What about you??" she muttered.

"I'm a commander, this temperature meant nothing." said a man who asked her to share the jacket together a minute later.

Their shoulder touched each other, even the sound of his loud heartbeat, she could also hear.

"Can you make fire?? There're small rocks there."

"You're really weird today, Diana--I mean how can we make fire with rocks?"

She crawled to grab the rock and clashed it together, but after one minute, she gave up. Then she stood up and tried to find a way out of the cave instead of waiting to death in there.

The entrance was blocked by the pile of snow and there was no other entrance. The only thing in the cave was some rock and the body of the tree that grew from inside the cave.

"Diana--emm, my lady...what're you doing??"

"Do I really look like Diana?? Why're you calling me that??"

"It's because--"

She checked all the parts of her dress, and an object dropped on the snow from the pocket hidden on the dress.

"Hm?? Isn't this a lighter?" Victor stared at Diana's face in disbelief knowing she had the lighter the whole time and asked him to make a fire with a rock.

Later on, she picked up the branch of the tree that grew inside the cave to make a fire.

It warmed them a little. When she finally could see something, because of the annoying ponytail behind her back, she put her hair down. That was when she noticed something was off when her hair was blonde instead of white.

"Victor, hand me your sword." Victor handed it to her without refusing, she saw herself in the reflection of the sword.

She felt like she was in a nightmare when she saw the pink eyes blinking in the sword and not purple.

"Can you slap me??" she asked him bluntly trying to wake up from the nightmare.

"Really, did you really hit your head?? Or are you having a fever??" he put his hand on her forehead. She started sobbing knowing something like that happened to her.

'Did I really switch body with Diana???'

She pushed his hand away and slept on the other side of the fire with her heart breaking bit by bit. She was sulking.

The fire started to go off, that was when she woke up again. Her eyes were all swollen, she rubbed her eyes looking at the man snoring from the other side of the fire.

She sighed, "This guy must really love Diana, huh??" she walked over to the tree and picked up more branches to light the fire for him to sleep peacefully.

She put her back at his stomach and her hand on her knees looking at the fire trying to process what happened.

All she remembered was Diana's tears mixed up with her blood creating a spark and overpowered magic energy.

"...don't...don't leave me...let's run...away...together..." Victor was shuttering in his sleep, she stroked his hair lightly with her soft hand calming him down to sleep.

"Are you having a nightmare? So am I...I'm living in a nightmare right now." she put the sword staring at Diana's face. Her face was smooth and soft without a scar.

He grabbed her hand in his sleep murmuring, "Let's leave this place...together..."

He had cold sweat all over his forehead, she ripped off a part of her dress and took a fire torch to melt some of the snow creating water.

She soaked the clothes in water and then wipe his forehead.

She wiped his arm and a part of his chest and yet he still didn't wake up. He really had a high fever at that time.

When she was going to wipe his feet, that was when she noticed his right leg was stained with fresh blood, she touched it and the blood got on her hand.

She glared at him not knowing the reason why, but she felt a little mad at him for not telling him about his injury.

She wasn't sure if she still had the magic, but she put her hand on his leg and later emit the white light on his wound healing it to some point. It was the light magic.

'Good, my magic is still with me.'

Unlike her old body, Diana's body didn't vomit blood after using light magic.

"...let's run away...from everyone...everything..."

"Why do you keep saying that??" she asked him in worry and looked back at the fire.

'Will I get back in my body--' her thought stopped when she accidentally said that Marinette's body was her body.

It wasn't hers...to begin with.

To be continued....!
