Being a Novel Antagonist
Episode 39's

A peaceful afternoon atmosphere, the birds perched on the branches of the trees without chirping. The cold swept across the surface. A horse-drawn carriage carrying Agatha broke through the crowds of residents who were doing their jobs.

The horse-drawn carriage came to a halt in a three-story luxury restaurant. Agatha came down, she was wearing a pastel-colored sleeveless dress and a necklace with sapphire diamonds that matched her eye beads.

He stepped inside the restaurant. It seemed, the place had been booked all over because there were no customers inside and there was only a man accompanied by two bodyguards sitting quietly. Lucius sat on a chair with a long table in front of him.

"Your Majesty. I went to the palace and you weren't there." A girl with unraveling hair and a pastel-colored sleeveless dress outstrips Agatha. He sat down with Lucius.

Agatha did not recognize the girl because of her back position. Without further ado Agatha approached Lucius. "Greet Your Majesty." Agatha cried with bowing of the body.

Lucius nodded and the girl who posed familiarity with Lucius immediately turned her back. To Agatha's surprise, "You...Sheila??" It was mixed with questions.

The girl named Sheila nodded gracefully. "Yes right, Miss." His ideal.

Agatha thought. How could in a few years, Sheila's look changed rapidly. In fact, he looks more like a noble from the upper class. But....Waita minute! Agatha opened her eyes. The dress they wear is the same color. What a strange coincidence.

"Do you want to spend this week with Me or Sheila?" Agatha asked a little. Actually the only letter sent was herself or Sheila as well. The girl doesn't like it when Sheila slips between her and Lucius. Yes really! in Agatha's eyes, Sheila was already considered a shame. A life that disturbs his peace.

Lucius sighed. "I'm just inviting you. But I don't know why anyone else came here." It was Lucius who made Agatha relieved.

"Your Majesty can we just be alone and can you ask this uninvited person to leave?" Press Agatha while glancing towards Sheila. Agatha had not even sat down yet, while Sheila was leisurely sitting opposite Lucius who was in fact very disrespectful. Because Agatha's position as a noble was far above Sheila's.

"Miss, you have it. Sheila just wants to join His Majesty." The girl with the white mane of maturity was sad and almost cried. Agatha furrowed her brows from realizing something. It turned out that Sheila had already begun to learn basic ethics by referring to Lucius as 'His Majesty' and not 'Master' anymore.

"What's the point of asking Lucius to drive Sheila away." A voice came from the direction of the door. Suddenly, all attention turned towards that person. A middle-aged man with a crown perched on his head and a thick jacket on his shoulders walked in accompanied by two bodyguards.

"Greetings Your Majesty the King." Agatha bowed forcedly. Just to meet the etiquette.

"Greetings to Princess Carrol." Reply The King. "Listen to Princess Carrol, I asked Sheila myself to come here. So please don't throw it away." Said the King with sharp eyes.

Agatha realized that look. The aura of hatred that was released was so strong that it made the feathers stand up. "I dare not Your Majesty. I say so thinking that Sheila came here of her own free will because His Highness the Crown Prince did not invite her." Typal Agatha with a bow. He did not say a word of apology, because for Agatha his actions were quite right. Again, Agatha already knew the king's rotten intentions.

"Princess Carrol you're good at evading like your father." The king's words were accompanied by laughter.

"Then you guys quickly order and enjoy the trip this time." Reciprocity.

Agatha simply nodded and took a seat near Lucius. Sheila looked envious of her. The girl gritted her teeth. Wanted to throw a protest. But before that, Sheila glanced towards the King and played eye code. The King signals Sheila to stay in her seat and not move. The girl then just sighed.

They finally ate the appetizer.

"Anything you hear, a Rhodesian prince tried to revolt and depose his crown son. Rumor has it, he died and died in the war, you hear it's Princess Carrol?" The king began to spread the bait, hoping Agatha would be provoked. The king learns of Steven and Agatha's closeness because Sheila told him.

Agatha was silent for a moment. He put his fork and spoon. "Is that Really Your Majesty? I don't really believe in rumors and I'm sure His Majesty the King definitely doesn't like rumors either."Carefully followed by a smile.

But the King said that Steven rebelled and not seized territory? Agatha thought to herself in heart.

The king looked in annoyance at Agatha. "Hahaha Princess Carrol you're absolutely right, I'm only discussing this because so many people are talking about it."Reply to the King with a clumsy laugh.

They ended up eating without a tucked-away conversation.

"Your Majesty the King, I'm very grateful to have earned the honor of having one table with you. I want to linger here, but there's something I have to do." Agatha started to stand up and continued. "I'm leaving Your Majesty. Greetings." Throw it and get a little nod from the King. Apparently the king could not bear his frustration, evident by the look in the eyes.

Agatha then left the restaurant.

"It's so hot there." His murmur was small.

"Miss Agatha! " Squeak one of the men from behind. Agatha. Squinted towards the mysterious looking man in black clothes and black hat. He never felt he knew that man.

"Miss I know you don't know me. But there's something important I need to talk about."

Agatha furrowed her brows hearing the man speak seriously. "Yes. Say." The curious reply.

"You know Mr Steven, don't you? He's gone! Don't ask me why I know this. Your own master asked to meet you and give you this before you are gone." Said the mysterious man while thrusting a ruby red necklace engraved with the letter A.

"You lied. Did the King of Corinth pay you for this?"

Agatha frowned"But that was impossible! Because this morning I received a sur-" his speech was cut off.

"I! I wrote the letter on Mr. Steven's orders.!" He cut Agatha's sentence.

"You lied! I can't believe it!"

"Your little girl you're so stubborn." The mysterious person said a very familiar sentence. Made Agatha widen her eyes. "Where do you know that phrase?" Ask Agatha while gripping the mysterious man's shirt.

"Sir Steven told me to say it if Miss doesn't believe that she's gone from this world." Reply to the man in black.

"That's impossible!!" Agatha.

"That's the truth, Miss. Forgive me for following you all this time. I'd like to tell you about this, but I don't have the courage." Reply with a sad face.

"You lied! You must be lying." Ketus Agatha. He immediately went home on a horse-drawn carriage and asked the coachman to immediately take him to the residence.

Arriving at the Carrol residence, Agatha ran into the room quickly as if being hunted by something. The girl reopened the letter that Steven had given her this afternoon. He read it carefully.

"Lucy! Lucy!" Screeched Agatha with a panicked tone of voice.

"Yes Miss." The curly-muddled girl immediately present nervously.

"Where do you keep the other letters from Steven?"

"I keep it inside the nightstand, Miss." Reply Lucy with her head down.

Suddenly, Agatha hurriedly approached the nightstand and opened. He ransacked his contents and took all of Steven's letters. The girl then compared the handwriting between the letter and the other letter.

"No! This is impossible." Agatha's voice shook after researching , it turned out that the two letters had very different writings. That means the words of the mysterious man were true. How could Agatha not have realized that earlier. Agatha was confused as to what to do. It was so calm, so calm that the sound of the wind was buzzing in his ears.

"What's up, Miss?" Lucy ventured to ask after seeing Agatha's shocked face.

"Lucy, have you heard that Prince Rhodes is dead?"

"Yes Miss. But that's just a rumor. According to the rumor, the corpse of the Prince of Rhodes was hidden because it was considered a traitor who had rebelled." Bright Lucy. Lucy is the source of information.

"Traitor?"

Lucy nodded. While Agatha sat on the bed and gnawed her head. He regretted why he didn't ask Steven why he was following the war. Agatha also regretted why she did not heed Steven's presence and instead hoped that Steven would immediately step aside from his life.

Now that everything had materialized, why would he not even be happy.

"Lucy, if there's two choices between you going after someone who doesn't want you and fighting to get his heart or accepting someone else who really likes you wholeheartedly." Agatha asked in frustration.

"Miss, I will accept people who like me with all my heart. Because it's hard to find one like that. But, that's just my opinion, miss is free to make a choice." Reply Lucy carefully. She knew that her Miss's question had just been related to the situation the Miss was in.

"Well, now tell me, the news that the Prince of Rhodes is gone is just a rumor and has not been proven. Don't you?" Agatha asked with sharp eyes. Lucy nodded. "True, Miss." Reply then.

"Alright then I'll ask the duke to let me go to Rhodes."

"But Miss."

Agatha ignored Lucy's words. It continued walking through the Duke's room.
