Beautiful Villaines
Chapter 9. Memories

Roxa was stunned with a mind that was busy dodging. Her beautiful brain recalls the contents of the novel titled ‘The Villain’s Dead’ where there is a name that is also quite important is Felix Theodore. Yes, the film was originally adapted from a best seller novel glimpsed by a director.

With a handsome face, an alluring lip line and smile, straight and bushy golden blonde hair, and beautiful silver beads, the definition of the man is so exactly the same coupled with their same name. Not wrong anymore! The man was indeed a second male lead, the second male lead, Felix Theodore.

Roxa is like dealing with Leonardo DiCaprio as a young man, the man who plays Jack in the movie Titanic.

‘Ouh, I was like Rose at the end of the ship while stretching out both hands with her,’ his mind that actually imagines the scene at the end of the ship with Jack while enjoying the pounding waves and the breeze of the wind. Lucky if only as breezy as the wind of syahdu inhaled. What if the smell is bad?

Ok, we return to the handsome figure who is sitting in front of Roxa!

Felix Theodore, the second great wizard after Liam Demente de Dias. It made him a figure who was so idolized in the Magic Academy and made him feel quite burdened. In fact, after his high-class mingling debut began, Felix also received the attention of the noble girls who wanted to be close to him.

In addition, Felix is also a friend of Roxa since a long time as well as a man who also loves Catherine, the female lead character. Yep! He was destined as a second male lead and the storyline remains the storyline. The female lead will be paired with the male lead.

While Felix who saw Catherine fall in love with Liam is only able to keep his feelings in silence. The man could only protect Catherine in the back as a form of her sincerity.

‘Ugh! Too bad a handsome and nice guy seems to have to end up being a sadboy.’ Roxa regained her senses and became increasingly busy in daydreams.

“What are you thinking?” Felix's barithon voice breaks Roxa's reverie.

“Ah! Ti-no.” Roxa regained her senses and practically looked back at Felix's face.

“Do you feel unwell? Does anyone hurt?” Felix stared fixedly at the emerald girl's bead eyes with such a close distance.

Roxa frowned, felt a little awkward, and reflexively turned her face, “Everything feels so foreign. So do you. I'm sorry, Felix.”

Seeing Roxa trying to dodge, Felix then pulled both corners of his lips and smiled shadyly, “No problem. You will remember it soon.”

“I'm not sure.” Roxa muttered softly, but was able to be heard by Felix.

“Do you want to bet?”

“Betaruh?”

“I can help you remember it, recall our friendly relationship.” Felix said confidently while glancing.

Back popping twitching on Roxa's forehead, “How to? How can you be so sure?”

“Discover your hand.”

“What?”

“Said you get your hands. Why do you like to make me talk twice.”

“Ba-okay.” Stretched out Roxa's hand slowly. A look of astonishment was clearly visible on her beautiful face even though she remained obediently following the man's orders. What exactly is he going to do?

“Concentrate and close your eyes.” Felix said seriously while holding Roxa's palm with one hand.

Roxa obediently followed what she was told. Her two eyes closed until her beautiful emarld eye bead was perfectly closed. He began to concentrate.

Seconds passed by without anything happening. Until suddenly, he can see a picture like a cassette that rotates in the brain. An unfamiliar landscape that looked like a wilderness. Snow fell heavily to cover the land and some large trees towering.

“Wuah! What did I just see?” Roxa suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Felix with a look of surprise.

Felix was also surprised when Roxa suddenly opened her eyes, without cueing and orders from her. “Memory. Just now all you saw was a.” memory

‘Hm, memory? Real Adelaide Roxana memory?’ Roxa sat down with an unbroken look at Felix.

At this very second, Roxa really believes that the out-of-the-box thing related to magic in this world is real. Just incredible! He was unable to speak.

“Close your eyes again and let's continue.” Felix gave the order with a smile.

Roxa who was still filled with shock nodded slowly then returned obediently closing both eyes. Until finally, a memory suddenly entered the head.

✨✨✨

The atmosphere and setting looks like a wilderness. It was snowing on a clear morning. The tall trees were towering and covered by a white layer. And, a cold so pierced into the bone. Yeah, that's all that's now getting in Roxa's head. A shadow that is so amazing it spins like a cassette tape.

“Aaaargggh! Go you, Goddamn it!” A girl dressed in an academy uniform screeched as she had just fallen down on top of a layer of snow. She is Roxana Adelaide who has just entered her first semester at Hoover Academy.

Right now, in front of his eyes was a bear monster staring intently at him. Large bodies like bears in general, dense white fur, and both red eyes blazing a sign that he is a monster clan.

“Hocus Pocus!” Roxa recited a spell with a trembling tone of fear. But, there is no change. The monster remained roaring loudly and walked towards him with a hungry face.

BRUKK!

Suddenly someone threw the monster's head with a wooden rod. Yes, that person is Felix and this is also his first semester of being in the academy. Felix was walking through the forest in search of firewood until he heard a scream.

The bear monster turned around with an increasingly angry face. His groans were so loud and quickly ran over to the figure of the bully. With a lightning motion the monster shot out a claw towards Felix who fell flat on his back, preparing to tear him apart.

However, Felix managed to dodge by rolling on the snow until the claw landed on his back.

Roxa who saw Felix in danger then took a large enough wooden rod that had previously been thrown into the head of the bear monster, “Hei! Whatever your name is, catch this!” strangle before throwing the wooden stick.

Felix catches him and prepares to attack with the help of magic at the end of the rod. It was pushed hard into the trunk and thrust into the shoulders of the monster in one strike. The blood of monsters also spilled. However, the monster was not easy to fall, still thrashing and roaring loudly.

“Hocus Pocus!” Felix's last touch casts a spell that Roxa had also previously cast.

However, the spell was not to kill but to tame. The bear monster that was previously filled with anger, slowly calmed down to sleep. The red color in his eyes had turned black, returning like a normal bear in general.

Felix folds one leg then extends his hand slowly to gently stroke the white fur of the bear lying before him.

“Are you okay?” Felix looked back, looking at Roxa who was now walking towards him.

Flat. Just a flat face shown by Roxana, “You shouldn't have helped me. Your back is injured.”

“No problem.”

“I don't like to see someone get hurt just because of me.”

Felix smiled, “That's not what you have to say at a time like this. You just have to say thank you. Then as for my back, can't you help me treat it?”

Roxa did not answer and still showed a flat face even though both hands were trembling. He saw Felix's back that was spitting out fresh blood and a scar of a bear that pierced through the academy uniform to his skin. It really made her feel scared and guilty.

Felix who realized Roxa's fingers were trembling then stood up, “Mantra it .. You have to say it rhythmically to impress the exotic strong pressure. That way, the spell will work.”

Roxa slightly widened her eyes then turned her face away quickly, “I know. But you don't have to tell me because what happened just now was just a mistake,” he said a little haughty.

Felix chuckled, “Alright,” he replied then turned around with both hands dragging the bear's feet.

“Where will you take him?”

“Piter. I heard his house is around here somewhere. He was the teacher who taught at Hoover's final semester. Maybe he can treat it.”

“To be too good is sometimes also quite troublesome,” sneer Roxa although he also helped drag the bear's feet with both hands.

Felix smiling, “Felix. My name is Felix,” he said introducing themselves as they dragged the feet of bears together.

“Oh,” Roxa replied briefly, without interest.

“Roxana Adelaide daughter of Duke Shancez, right?” guess Felix is on target.

“I only got to hear it.” Felix replied casually with a smile.

Undeterred by that smile, Roxa still maintained a flat expression, “You must have heard my name from the disciples who gossiped me behind.”

Felix is a little surprised to find Roxa who turns out to be a warm conversation by the students of the academy. Because they talk about it not in a positive connotation but in a negative connotation.

The haughty woman was ungrateful, the cold and arrogant woman, the stiff woman never smiled, until the demonic woman who happened to look beautiful. Yes, the various nicknames are embedded in Roxa who is always aloof as if picky friends.

“I hear you from them a lot, but it turns out you're not as bad as they say. I should have seen you myself from the beginning.”

“There is no point in seeing me because no one wants to be friends with me.”

“If so, will you be friends with me? Being alone seems pretty boring.”

Roxa was wide-eyed and a little surprised. This was the first time that someone had made friends after getting a haughty behavior from him.

“Friendship with me will be more boring. Forget it.” Roxa answered coldly with both hands still dragging the bear's feet with heavy, exhausted breaths.

“But not by being friends with me because I'm quite fun.” Felix didn't give up and glanced at the joke.

“I don't need your kindness. Just give your kindness to this bear.”

“But you owe me.”

Roxa frowned and looked at Felix questionlessly. What debts? As he remembered, he had never snatched the young man's gold coins.

“Treating my back. I'm like this because I helped you.”

“Oh.” Roxa back flexing face and giving a flat expression, “Yes, I will treat you.”

“You will also help bring this bear on Piter?”

“Ya.”

“And treated me at Piter's house?”

“Ya.”

“And be my friend?”

“Yes. Uh! No!”

Felix chuckles, “You've agreed to it, Roxa. From today you are my friend.”

✨✨✨

A pair of eyelids covered in lashes have now opened. The beautiful emerald netra is now back in sight with its vibrating pupils. His gaze locked onto the man in front of him.

“Wuah! Great!” Roxa muttered lowly. “What did you do just now is magic?”

“Ya, it's magic.”

Roxa fell silent, nailed, and mute. This was the first time he had seen a miracle even though the moment he first arrived in this world and woke up in Roxana's body was also a miracle.

Just now .. Felix has shown a memory where they first met until finally became close friends.

“Can you show me the others? Like how I relate to both my parents and other friends.”

“Cannot. I can only show you a picture of where I am in it. In a sense, the memory you passed with me.”

“Ah, so it seems.” Roxa nodded slightly disappointed before returning brightly, “But still, just what you did was amazing, Felix!” he said while clapping his hands. ‘No wonder if she will become the second greatest witch after the male lead.’

Felix was silent and watched Roxa for a moment.

Roxa who felt stared fixed to be wrong behavior, “What's wrong? Something wrong with my words?”

Felix shook his head then smiled faintly, “You are that happy just because you saw the memories with me? Looks like after the disaster happened you became a quite different figure.”

“Different?” Roxa. “Nothing different from me. Maybe it's just your feelings. It's all just because I can't remember everything.” Roxa flat-toothed exactly like the picture of the original Roxa haughty figure that he saw in his previous memory. He is now back to testing his talent in acting.

There's no response.

Felix remained silent and observed Roxa deeply. I don't know what he noticed, but it made Roxa a little agitated.

‘Did he realize it? Realize that I'm not the real Roxana?’

Oddity suddenly sounded from Felix's mouth, “I just didn't expect that a memory loss could turn someone into a slightly unexpected person.

“You mean?” Roxa confusion.

“Usually during the trip you will always keep quiet and enjoy your books.”

“Ah, I still enjoy my book.”

“Not a boring book but a romance novel? It ... a little beyond expectations.”

In that very second, Roxa's eyeballs barked wide and almost out of his songket. In a hurry he hid his book behind his body. Her face was flushed with embarrassment, “I-this ... my mistress who mistook her. I-I just felt a little curious and read it because there was nothing else I could read.”

Felix smiled elegantly, “Ya, it's okay.”

Roxa breathed a sigh of relief because it seemed like Felix believed her lie. He did not want Felix to think badly of him for reading romance novels. Even worse, what he read was a forbidden adult novel genre 21+++.

Really he did not intend to destroy the prestige of the original Roxana elegant and classy into a fake Roxana perverted and bulging. Come on, instead of fixing destiny, it's going to make destiny worse.

“Sometimes I'm also curious about Duke playing with his servant. That's what's written in the title of the book. Is it a hot novel?

JDURERRR!

Roxa turned wide again. It turned out that Felix had read the title of the book he was carrying. “No, Felix. Looks like you've misunderstood. I don't understand what this book means. My holy brain can't reach him.”

“But your holy brain has read it to almost the last page.” The rarity of Felix's mouth was again heard.

“Are you mocking me now?” Roxa started frowning, annoyed.

While Felix actually reeled and increasingly wanted to tease the girl.

Previously, although the original Roxana was often quiet and arrogant to him, but Felix also still liked to tease him because he knew that the contents of the girl's heart were not as cold and hideous as it seemed.

Roxa frowned with an annoyed throbbing face. This was the first time someone dared to ridicule him and laugh at him right before his eyes. He shook his head and only saw Felix who kept laughing with his body bouncing because the road was uneven.

“Stop, Felix! Trust me, you're really annoying.”

“Oh, no. Ii'm sorry. But can I borrow your book? Pfffftttttt!”

“It looks like our friendship story is enough to get here.”
