I Am The Game's Villain

Chapter 139 Miranda-Edward-Aurora



"What are you doing, Aurora?"

"Ah!" A six year old girl jumped up when she heard the voice behind her. She was wearing a cute pink dress and despite her usual calm expression, right now she seemed panicked.

"M-Mommy…" Aurora turned around and met her mother's sapphire eyes which she shared. "N-Nothing." Aurora shook her head.

"Hmmm…" Edith raised her brow at her daughter's unusual state. "Is that so?" With a green, she glazed through the window where Aurora was looking.

"N-No! Mommy!" Aurora tried to hide but it was too late.

"Oh…aren't they Oryanna's son and Olivia's daughter?" Edith muttered seeing a grey-haired boy who was lifting Miranda on his back. Both of them were talking happily together. "They are really cute together…they are engaged on top of that." Edith smiled but tilted her head when she saw Aurora's gloomy expression.

Aurora was staring at Edward and Miranda with a tinge of sadness on her face.

"My darling…" Edith patted her daughter's hair gently. 

"Daddy told me that he wishes I would marry Edward, mommy." Aurora muttered without turning her eyes away. "As the first Princess of the Celesta Kingdom, I should answer my father's expectations…"

Edith sighed and made a mental note to beat up her husband who was filling useless things inside a child's mind. "You don't have to worry about that, dear. There are plenty of amazing boys of your age out there."

Though Edith said it casually and with sincerity, she had to acknowledge that boys like Edward were quite rare. She could see why her husband was so adamant about having Edward in their family. He was a miracle of brilliance at such a young age, having the formidable Falkrona ancestry. An alliance between the Celesta Royal Family and the Falkrona Household would undoubtedly be potent. Sadly for Charles Celesta, Edward and Draven's daughter were already incredibly close, and their parents had decided to marry them in the future.

But despite all those good gains by creating a bond with the Falkrona Bloodline, Edith didn't seem as enthusiastic as her husband. All of that because of the trouble-magnet that were the members of that family. Especially Edward's mother and father…

"B-But…" Aurora lowered her head. "Edward is…not like the others…"

"Aurora?" Edith leaned closed when she heard Aurora muttering something with a slightly flushed face. "Could it be…" Before Edith could finish, Aurora turned around to run away.

"Hey!" Edith followed after her daughter.

…..

In a spacious and lavish room two elegant and beautiful women who seemed to be in their early twenties were speaking while drinking coffee. There were few maids with them to serve them.

"Then you see this idiot told me that he'd rather fight than sing with me. What a useless husband I say," A woman with tangerine eyes said in an annoyed tone. "I told him countless times that his status as Monarch should not go to his head but that idiot…"

"Hmm. Hasn't Draven always been like that, Olivia?" The other woman with black hair and amber eyes asked with a tilt of her head.

"No. Before he used to be at least gallant but now…not even that…" Olivia pouted. "I wish he takes more time with us. I am alone with Miranda, Loid and Joyca…I am doing my best but they need their father as well…"

"Well, at least Edward is there for the little Myra," Oryanna grinned.

To which Olivia smiled as well. "Edward already seduced my cute and strong daughter!"

"Mom, Aunt Olivia!" Just when they were talking about them, Edward arrived in the room with Miranda on his back. 

"Oh, Edward? What happened?" Oryanna stood up. "Are you already pampering your fiancee?"

"M-Mom?!" Edward blurted out with an embarrassed face.

Miranda though just smiled happily and hugged tighter Edward.

"Myra is injured on her leg, Aunt Olivia…" Edward approached Olivia and gently put down the reluctant Miranda.

"Oh, Myra…" Olivia knelt down and took bandages out of the void to treat her daughter. "I'm sure you overworked yourself to impress Edward…"

"Impress me?" Edward, despite being a genius in many domains, had a hard time understanding the actions of the girl in love with me.

"Oh, Edward…you need to improve in that domain if you don't want to be killed by a girl one day." Oryanna shook her head and pinched his cheeks.

"I don't wachanna chie…" Edward replied with his pinched cheeks.

Then suddenly the doors of the other corner of the room swung open and two girls fell on the ground.

""Ouch!!""

The two girls were familiar to all of them.

"Eh?" Edward turned around surprised. "Elona? And Princess?"

"Big brother!" Elona stood up and rushed to Edward.

"Wow!" Edward caught his sister before he fell on the ground.

"Big sis!" Then Elona jumped toward Miranda and hugged her tightly.

"Elona! Calm down a little, dear." Oryanna pulled off her daughter before she hurt further the injured Miranda.

"Princess, are you okay?" Edward went toward Aurora and reached out his hand. The latter hesitated so Edward grasped Aurora's hand and pulled her up. "What were you doing, Princess?

"We were spying on you, big brother!" Elona admitted with a broad and almost proud smile.

"Ah…" Aurora's face turned beet red and she averted her face when Edward glanced at her as if to confirm his sister's words. 

"Edward enough flirting, dear," Oryanna sighed seeing the young Princess' expression. She would be blind and stupid if she didn't notice Aurora's recent nervous behavior near Edward.

"M-Mom?!" Edward's face turned red this time. She is the Princess!"

"Oh! Big brother is seducing Aura!"

"No Elona!"

"No! Edward was seducing me!" Miranda hugged Edward's arm tightly, feeling danger from Aurora.

"Edward seems like a protagonist with countless wives of those books we had read, don't you think so, Olivia?" Oryanna muttered dumbfounded at the sight of Edward being surrounded by two women and even Elona was on the fray now.

"Hmm. I don't like the prospect of my cute daughter being one of his countless wives though?" Olivia replied with a sigh.

"I don't think Edward will do that to Myra if the latter wants to monopolize him, don't worry Olivia!"

"Hmm. Yes. Edward is a good boy. I just hope he will take good care of my daughter regardless of how many wives…" Olivia leaned and grinned at Aurora. "He has."

"!" Aurora's face, which was already red, turned crimson and she ran away from the room.

****

"Lady Avia?" I waved my hand in front of Aurora's face since she seemed to be in a daze. It was rare to see her like that.

"Ah!" Finally Aurora recovered and looked at me and Elona. "M-My apologies for this disgracious-"

"It's okay Aura," Elona patted Aurora's hand to calm her.

Aurora nodded a few times before glancing at me stealthily or so she thought-

"..." It was a little awkward for me so I stared at my empty plate.

….

….

….

Two hours later, after we ate, we parted away with Elona who suddenly chose to leave us alone with a random excuse. 

What was she trying to do anyway?

If anything, she embarrassed me and Aurora most of the time!

"Amael, please concentrate," Aurora rebuked me when I was lost in my thoughts.

"Ah, yes sorry…"

Aurora and I were kneeling in the middle of nothing. My two eggs were glowing on the ground. Aurora's hands were placed above mine, and both of my palms were on each egg. It was truly embarrassing. I was scared she'd kill me on the spot if she found my identity, and her reaction seemed even scarier. 

I was already tricking Milleia with my identity as Nyrel and now it was Aurora.

The day they will understand who I was…

Oh god…I don't want that.

That situation will surely turn out of my control.

While I was thinking that, Aurora's hands shone gold and a golden magic circle appeared above our hands.

She is really amazing…

She could even use magic circles to alter and use spells…

Something that can only be learned and taught in Sancta Vedelia nowadays.

It wasn't the first time I saw that, but it still impressed me each time I saw it. 

Aurora whispered something, and the magical circle dropped on our palms, encircling the eggs.

"They seem to love you a lot, Amael," Aurora mumbled, a gorgeous smile on her face. I could see her true smile now because she wasn't wearing a mask.

"It's cool then," I replied randomly.

"Cool?" Aurora giggled at my weird word.

I think I understand why David Seaven is head over heels for Aurora and I...  think I understand why I loved her…

[Why are you using the past tense?]

'What are you implying?'

"Amael…" Aurora, still with her hands on mine, met my eyes.

"Y-Yeah?" I stuttered when she spoke so seriously.

Don't tell me she found out?!

Aurora hesitated for a whole minute before opening her lips. "I…I need you…"
