Fake Antagonist
Chapter 29 ~ Soothing Group Chat

"Huh? Who wants to get married?"

"Of course you are, honey."

"Who's the guy?"

"Who else if not your fiancee Aldric."

Huh huh?

Evelyn grabbed the two hands of the princess who was still looking at her questioningly.

"Why all of a sudden?" That was all Alice could say, her mind suddenly deadlocked.

"Mom doesn't know why either, your daddy set it all up."

Silent.

The two just stared at each other, Alice did not know what to say and Evelyn did.

Alice's eyes were already glazed over, "Mom," she softly looked as she looked at the mother deeper and deeper.

"Why not ask me before?" he continued with a hoarse voice.

"You know how your daddy is, dear. He doesn't need our opinions or our rejections." Evelyn tried to give her understanding, she knew her daughter was still in shock over this sudden news.

"But you still have to ask me!" alice protested with a voice that began to rise. His hand took off the grasp of the mother who did not feel giving any warmth.

"I'm young, Mom. Eighteen years old, just got into college. My future is still long, and you want me to get married just to enrich yourself, huh?" his stranglehold began to spiral out of control, he got up from his seat and looked at the mother angrily.

"Alice dear, that's not what we mean. Precisely if you marry Aldric your future will be more secure."

"Hahaha, no Mom. Don't make my future an excuse, you just want to satisfy yourself. If you think of me, you will ask. What I want, what I live, what and what else. But not right? You didn't ask me about my wishes at all. Everything you set up, everything you choose if I don't speak to ask."

Alice laughed, her tears unstoppable. Perhaps this was Alice and Ayla's anger at once, the girl's emotions were now uncontrollable.

Evelyn was silent, her tears falling when she saw the princess crying. He realized that what Alice said was true.

From childhood not once did he and Barnett ask about the life of the princess, about what she wanted, what her ideals were, even the simple question of what his daughter was doing was rarely said.

Both hands raised, eager to embrace the frail body that is now crying. But the princess retreated, still with a sigh Alice turned and ran out. He wants to find peace now.

While Evelyn was fixated, only one word could her lips say, "I'm sorry."

Arriving outside Alice saw Yos' uncle sitting on the park bench, "Uncle, I want the car keys" he said quickly.

The confused uncle Yos could only obey the lady, eager to ask her why she was crying but she stopped when she saw Barnett walking out with a face full of anger.

Alice, who saw her father catching up, quickly ran towards the car that was still parked in the yard.

"Hey, Alice Lawrence's. Wait!" squeak Barnett hard. But the car was speeding towards the gate.

The man did not stay silent, he also got into his own car and chased after the princess who had almost reached the gate. Alice pressed the remote button and the gate automatically opened, after successfully exiting it she pressed another button that made the gate lock automatically.

Barnett who was left behind hit the steering wheel. It does not have the same remote in the car. Even more upset when remembering that this gate is the result of his own creation, and now even make it difficult for yourself.

He contacted the bodyguard and asked him to open the gate, after opening the trail of the princess was no longer visible. And he could only exhale his coarse breath.

...

Alice was able to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Barnett who had not managed to catch up to her. Now the goal is only one, namely the boutique. His father must not have known this place, and for a while he would have been safe.

Until at the boutique the situation had been deserted, there were no more people there. Alice went inside, then sat down on a long sofa in her room. His face was still sad and his eyes were still red and slightly swollen.

Amongst that turmoil he remembered only one voice, a voice that could always calm him down. He picked up his cell phone and dialed a number with the name Old Man Kaku.

Tuttts.

The call rang, but until the call ended Alice got no answer. His face looked disappointed, but he could not dissolve. He picked up his phone and contacted his colleague, Darier.

"Hello." The call is connected the second time it sounds.

"Rier, my parents are coming home" said Alice to the point, with Darier he should not beat around the bush or he himself would get dizzy later.

"What if they go home?"

"Ck, they want to marry me."

"What's?".

"They want me to marry Aldric."

"I don't know either, but I'm sure this is the man."

"Calm down, I'll help you under any circumstances."

Hearing Darier's sentence, the girl was finally able to develop a slight smile. It sucks sometimes but this guy is always there for her.

"Tomorrow we start a mission with Valerie Brown."

"Hm."

"Wait, where are you now? You can't run away from home, can you?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Yes what? You escaped?"

"Hem."

"Jeez, where are you now?"

"I'm in a safe place."

"Ck, are you alone?"

"No. I'm with Alice."

"Are you learning to joke with me?"

"Absolutely not, I am Ayla and now with the body of an Alice."

"Oh, my goodness. Already, you be careful. I want to go to sleep, don't bother me anymore" Darier said heartlessly and switched off the phone.

Tut's.

Alice stared at her phone in disbelief, the man's infuriating fashion rising up again. But although a little upset can not be denied also if the man has restored a little mood.

Thinking that he will start his mission tomorrow, he then makes a group chat containing Lucy, Kiara, Darier and himself.

Lucy: Wow, young lady, where are you going? You have no idea how angry the great master is.

Lucy starts a conversation with her trademark, nagging.

Alice: I'm in an ordinary place.

Lucy : Good.

Kiara: Where are you, Lice?

Alice: A safe place.

Darier: Woi, I told you not to bother me, right?

Lucy : OMG, Darier Simpson?

Kiara : ...

Darier : Why? Am I a ghost?

Lucy: I just didn't expect that young master Simpson would join us.

Darier: No way, Alice and I have been partners for a long time. You're the only ones who don't know.

Lucy : Alice? Why not tell me?

Alice enjoyed reading these messages, at least her sadness gradually recovered. His face is now not sad anymore, only the remaining part of the eye that is still somewhat swollen.

Kiara : Alice...

Alice: Yes, I will tell you later. Now let's discuss the mission for tomorrow.

They also discussed what would be the first plan in thwarting this marriage plan. The existence of Darier makes the atmosphere more colorful, especially with Lucy who was originally chatty. While Kiara and Alice who are more quiet only occasionally chimed in.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Tbc.
