The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 207 Villain or Cannon Fodder?

Meanwhile, Lucinia and Mo Li were enjoying themselves in the village, unaware that the King was planning to make them the next ruler. The two were looking at children running around, playing in the plaza of the village. The sound of the horses as they dragged the carriage echoed inside the village, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone.

"How many villages are near the house?" Lucinia asked.

"Hmmm. Ten small ones. There is a big town couple of villages away from the house. The witches live there... visiting the place is not a very good idea for vampires."

"Whoa... Whoa.... Your grace... a carriage with the insignia of Prince Gavril is in front of us." The Coachman announced. This was enough to ruin Mo Li’s mood. He didn’t wait for Lucinia to utter another word he instructed the coachman to just take them back to the house.

Just like Mo Li, Lucinia’s face instantly darkened when she heard Gavril’s name. The system clearly told her that he was no longer the Villain. Was it ... because of love? She snorted at the thought.

’Bee... can you tell me who was the new Lead now? Can you determine if Gavril was really demoted from his prestigious role?’ she asked the system without hiding the sarcasm in her mind.

[Bee cannot tell unless the host was in close proximity with the new lead and Villain.]

She sighed. She was already expecting that. However, hearing the system answer her like this was just... reminding her how helpless she really was. In the end, Lucinia lowered her head, hiding the irritation in her eyes.

Why would Gavril suddenly arrive here? This place was hours away from his palace! Did he found out about Mo Li rescuing the male lead? That should be impossible. After a couple of minutes, they finally arrived back in the house. Mo Li held her hand as they went out of the carriage and waited for the Prince’s carriage to arrive.

"Your highness.... May I know why you decided to visit our simple abode?" Mo Li asked without waiting for the Prince to leave the carriage. The action was disrespectful, but how could Gavril show his authority in front of the Duke? He was nothing but an ant compared to the Duke’s might. Gavril gritted his teeth inwardly before he held his hand towards the carriage.

Lucinia immediately looked at the pale white hands of a woman that walked out of the carriage. It was the female lead! The woman looked beautiful in her red and black dress. Her lips looked like apples, her eyes were especially enchanting as she smiled at Lucinia. "Please forgive our sudden arrival. I just... I have to ask the Prince to come here so I could properly thank the Princess for saving me on that banquet." The smile on the female lead’s face was very beautiful. Even Lucinia thought she looked like an angel dressed in a vampire costume.

Kidding.

Lucinia was laughing internally. She didn’t miss the dangerous glint in the eyes of the woman. This should be the soul inside the body. It was no longer the original female lead. "I— I couldn’t seem to remember this miss?" Lucinia frowned before she turned her attention towards Prince Gavril. "I don’t think... you introduced me to any of your wives before." She countered, looking like an innocent sheep.

She wasn’t sure why this woman was here, but she was certain that this woman was not here to do something good.

"She is my only wife... younger sister. Princess Cassandra."

"Cassandra the name is as enchanting as her face." Lucinia faked a smile. "But I can’t seem to remember saving a certain Cassandra. Perhaps I am getting older?" She looked at the woman and smiled. "Or... maybe you got the wrong woman?"

Cassandra shook her head. Smiling, she continued. "How could that be? I remember you when you saved me from that Duke."

Lucinia narrowed her eyes, acting as if she was trying to recall what happened. Then she widened her eyes, mouth agape— a reaction that almost made her husband laughed out loud. "You— You are that little servant?" Surprise was written on Lucinia’s face as she looked at her older brother as if silently asking him to explain the current situation.

Of course, Lucinia was pretending to be someone who doesn’t have any ideas of the current affairs in the kingdom. To everyone else, Mo Li and her, went to this place to have a honeymoon and enjoy their time together as a married couple.

"I married her a couple of days ago." Prince Gavril shortly said. "She is my main wife."

"Your highness... I was not aware!" she faked another reaction. "I could have sent some wedding gifts to the newlyweds!" She then walked towards Cassandra and cupped both of her hands. "Please forgive me. I hope you didn’t think I was unkind and unwelcoming. I was not aware that my brother married you." She then pulled the woman for a long and tight hug. "Welcome to the family... little sister." A beautiful smile lingered on Lucinia’s face.

"Your highness... thank you," Cassandra said after Lucinia’s hugged her.

Lucinia only beamed as Mo Li invited everyone inside the house. On the outside, she looked really kind and happy. But on the inside, her mind was already analyzing the possible reasons why they were here. It seems that this reunion was not making Prince Gavril happy, but because of his little wife, he was forced to come here and see the Duke— which Prince Gavril hated so much.

Ah... Love... was such a mysterious thing.

Who would have thought that the cold and heartless Prince would actually fall in love with a teenager? Who would have thought that person that could melt Prince Gavril’s icy heart was the feisty and innocent female lead? Of course, this person was no longer the female lead.

Now the only question that Lucinia could ask herself was....

Is she going to be the new villain? Or just another cannon fodder?
