Being a Novel Antagonist
Episode 21

Carrol Residence, Carroll,

Somehow Agatha felt familiar with the girl told by Wim. But the thing is, he has absolutely no memory of the girl. If Agatha tried to remember, her head would break. Finally he decided to pry information about the girl to the person he trusted the most, who else if not Lucy.

"Lucy's here, I have something to ask you."Call Agatha who is sitting in her study chair.

With a smile and deft steps, Lucy approached towards Agatha. He lowered. "What's wrong Miss?"Throw-out.

"Do you know anything about a girl named Adelin?" Agatha asked directly at the point.

Lucy's eyes are perfectly rounded. His hands and feet were sweating coldly. "I-I don't know, Miss." Nude with nervousness.

It's weird that Lucy shouldn't be that sweet. After all, if he expresses so then it is certain that he knows the Adelin I mean.

"You're lying, aren't you telling me honestly, do you know that?" Agatha frowned and stared intently at Lucy.

Lucy who felt that gaze became even more clumsy. That look was like Agatha's old gaze. However, Lucy must remain appropriate. "I'm not lying, I really don't know about the girl." Said again.

Agatha was able to sense that Lucy was hiding something. But he won't intimidate Lucy, so he may have to figure it out himself. The red-haired girl looked back to thinking.

"No-Miss if I may give advice, Miss should not find out about the girl. Miss, you better focus on Mr. Lucius."Lucy looked down inside and played her fingers. "That's. I just want the best for Miss." The girl named Lucy.

"Hmm your advice sounds good, but still only I can manage myself."Agatha smiled mysteriously which made Lucy for the first time in weeks, shuddering in horror.

***

Agatha returns to find out, if Lucy ever finds out about Adelin. So Adelin must have a relationship with this family. That's how Agatha thinks. This time he plans to find out through Anastasia. That was why at this time, he invited Anastasia to enjoy tea in the garden of the residence.

"This type of tea is the best." Anastasia murmured after sucking a little tea in her cup.

"Sir Ana, I want to ask you a question."

"Hm? Just ask." Anastasia still doesn't budge from her tea. He went back to sucking his tea.

"Did you know anything about a girl named Adelin?" Lontar Agatha. Hearing that, Anastasia choked and started to cough.

"Don't mention that name again in this residence. That name sounds very taboo here." Anastasia's voice with her clenched hands held a feeling that was difficult to explain. He then got up from his seat and was about to leave.

"Don't go first, explain why." Pinta Agatha's.

"I don't care." The blonde girl walked away. But a few moments later, he came back. "What's wrong, brother, did you change your mind and want to tell me." Agatha.

"No! I just took my fan." Reply to the girl while plucking her fan and leaving Agatha again.

The red-haired girl sighed. "Huh don't I need to think about that huh. After all, I only intend to live peacefully in this world." He started to give up. However, he accidentally heard some servants who were hankering.

"Hey you heard earlier, the third young lady mentioned the name 'that person'." Whisper waiter a

"really? Didn't the duke master already forbid it. How did the third Miss know that name?" The servant b.

"I also can't imagine if the duke knows." Reply to waiter a.

Hearing the waiter's conversation, Agatha became even more curious. Why is the name Adelin so taboo?Did the girl make such a big mistake? That's what keeps raging in Agatha's head right now.

Out of curiosity, Agatha decided to re-investigate by coming to the city library. I don't know what brought him there. Maybe because of his instincts. And also, if he was only limited to reading books in the library of the Carrol residence, then it is certain he would not find anything.

Seeing the reaction of Lucy and Anastasia as well as the servant's conversation, Agatha guessed that everything related to the girl named Adelin must have been deliberately buried inside from the Carrol residence.

This time Agatha did not invite Lucy at all, she only invited Diaz as a protective knight if something bad happened. However, Agatha still asked the knight to wait outside.

Agatha entered the library which was lined with glistening wooden walls. He was quite amazed when he saw such a large bookcase lined up neatly.

Where to start.

"Ep...Excuse me, can you show me where the books are about the Carrol family?"

"I'm one of Duke Carrol's children." Said Agatha while showing a plaque bearing the gold eagle. The woman immediately believed Agatha's words. He allowed Agatha to enter a special reading room.

The woman opened a room with a special key. "Please.According to the rules, you are only allowed to read for thirty minutes. There will be a sign if it's thirty minutes" the servant explained.

"All right." Said Agatha origin mengiatyakan.

The woman rushed away, while Agatha walked into the room.

"Crazy! Thirty minutes looking for a book in this big room." The girl muttered after observing the size of the room.

He immediately searched for books needed for investigation. But after fifteen minutes of searching, he found nothing.

Agatha was really tired. "I found nothing at all." He said while breathing heavily. With a body that staggered from fatigue, he again walked around the bookshelf. However, his leg slipped and hit the wall.

Agatha soon realized something. The wall sounded quite loud, but the wood around it looked very sturdy and strong which was impossible to sound loud.

He immediately approached the wall and sure enough after being touched, the wall gave off a ray that turned out to be sealed by something. Then he seemed to think. The next second he immediately showed the plaque of the Carrol family sign.

The wall slowly opened and a small room with many books was dusty as it was not maintained. Without hesitation, Agatha immediately entered the room.

"Guye,uhuk." The scattered dust made the girl burned repeatedly.

His eyes immediately looked in all directions and fortunately he found the book he was looking for - the history of the Carrol family. Agatha took the book and blew it away first so that the dust would be slightly reduced. When she finished, the girl opened it and read the book.

In the book explained the origin of the family formed named Carrol. There was nothing strange, until Agatha opened the thirtyth page. There it is told that the descendants of Carrol to VI in destiny right to have a pair of twins. Where one foretold would lead to a great fortune and the other predicted to destroy the Carroll's descendants.

Agatha did not understand. Though he and his older brothers including the descendants of Carrol to VI. Why there is no twin at all.

Teng, teng, teng.

The large bell in the room rang, a sign that it had been thirty minutes. Agatha took the book and hid it under her shirt and then came out. The wall door he passed back was tightly shut by itself.

He came out of the room and made sure that the woman guarding the library didn't see him. Or rather look at the book he's hiding.

Due to her hasty steps, Agatha accidentally bumped into someone.

"Oh." Agatha's small body fell down while the person she hit didn't even move.

"Be careful." The voice of the man who turned out to be Lucius. Agatha looked up, looking at the figure in front of her. Lucius was seen reaching out, so the girl thought Lucius would help her up.

Unfortunately, what happened was beyond a doubt. Lucius could not help Agatha but take the book of the fallen man. As a result, the girl stood up by herself.

"Greetings Your Majesty, I'll let you go first." Said Agatha quickly while bowing and occasionally cleaning her dress.

"Wait."

The girl immediately slid in full of question marks.

"Tomorrow when the biggest parade is held, will you be watching?" Lucius asked doubtfully. This was the first time he had asked Agatha.

The grand parade that sheila means? Obviously follow!

"Yes I'll come. Em...Then, I'll excuse Your Majesty." Agatha immediately turned around and left the library.
