Villainess Becomes The Knight

Chapter 149 - Strange Emotions Surging In His Heart!

Oliver pov

I was trying to contact the lord when Isabella called me. I knew that little girl was worried about me, but it was true that I would have done that for anyone at her place.

​​

I knew she was a bit proud and snobbish, but she did not have malice in her heart. Her foolish acts were just to protect herself from this cruel world.

I could hear the worry in her words. I wanted to tell her that she was worrying for no reason. I have more sources than she could think of. If i wanted i could rusticate all of them. But I did not want to blow my cover. I have finally found a good place to stay luxuriously while hiding my identity. Who would have thought that I would jeopardize everything like this. But if I could go back in time and fce the situation again, I would still slap the girl, in fact I would slap the preparator too this time.

"I will handle everything. You didn't need to worry, Isabella.'' I finally replied as I walked out of the room. But when I came back to my room and tried to take the letter out from my pocket, it was not there.

My eyes widened as I realized that the letter must have fallen in her room. If she picked it up and read it, then doom would fall on both of us.

I ran back to her room when i saw the knights, "my lady have asked me to bring this papers to her.'' I showed them a ring design. They knew that we were making jewels together and I was in just a few minutes ago. So, they nodded and let me go in.

But when I went in, I saw her crying. There was a portrait in her hands which she hid behind her when I walked in.

She was looking so vulnerable at that moment. Watching her crying, pained me. I did not know why but I felt furious. I wanted to burn those girls to ashes to make her cry like that. But before that I wanted to comfort her. I stood there frozen, trying my best to control the surging emotions. But the last strand of sanity was broken when she wiped her tears, tried to hide them from me.

And before I could understand, I moved closer to her and touched that lone tear on her cheek. It was shining like a pearl under the moonlight. I kissed it gently as I could not kiss her. Wait!!! I blinked at the thought that crossed my mind! Did I want to kiss her!

My eyes fell on her parted lips and I was sure that I wanted to. I wanted to hug her and comfort her and kiss her to take all the pain away from her heart and fill it with love and care.

Once again my eyes widened at my thought. I shook my head, almost jerking to get rid of those thoughts. I could not think of these foolish things that could ruin both of us.

"What are you doing here?" she asked, breaking my lewd thoughts.

Her face was red as cooked crab. She was looking so adorable with that face, I wanted to.. 

I pinched myself hard on my arms to keep myself in control. Why was I behaving like a drunk man!

"I came to give this to you. This is the design I made yesterday. If possible, I want to work on it before going to the academy.`` I replied as I walked away from her and sat on the sofa again where I was sitting previously. I discreetly roamed my hands on the corner and smiled when I found the letter.

I took a breath of relief and put the letter back in my pocket and stood up.

She was busy looking at the designs and I moved out.

"Wait a minute. Where are you going?" she asked and I halted.

"Ummm, i am going back to my quarters, my lady." I replied somewhat confused with her sudden question. I needed to go back and send the letter to the lord.

"Well, did you not say that you want to work on this design before the academy starts. So why don't we work now?" she asked as she moved towards the closet and took out a box of jewels. It was the box in which she kept the raw gold and other gems.

"Now? But my lady, it was already past midnight." I needed to send the letter before the messenger left the vicinity.

"So.. it was not like we have not worked till late before. These are my trusted knights and maids. They would not say a single thing out, much less spreading a rumor. And it did not look like you were sleepy. So why don't we both utilize our time." her eyes were clear now. The traces of tears have already left. Her voice sounded much better too. 

But the red corner of her eye and the portrait that she had hid was still signaling that she was not fine. I wanted to go. I needed to go but I did not.

I nodded my head and followed her to the working area and so did her maids. We both sat and started working. Once again I melted and moulded the gold and she crafter gemstones. Whenever she crafted those stones, there was a strange shine on her face, as if she was finally content with her life. I wanted to make her happy further. 

I was once again surprised with the thoughts I was having. This was the first time I was thinking about a girl like that! Did i.. No! It was because I have sympathy for her. That was it! I assured myself of that thought.

"What are you doing, your hands are burning?" She scolded me and looked down only to see that the fire was too much and the melted gold was falling on the floor while my hands had blazed from the fire.
