The Villainess Wants To Go Home

Chapter 9 - Money

A tall handsome man sat behind his desk in his large office staring down at his paperwork unfocused

on what he was reading. His long slender fingers tangled in his jet-black hair while his piercing golden

eyes scanned the inky words over and over again but could not get what he was reading.

"tch" he slammed the paper on his desk in frustration. His thoughts were all over the place. First, it's the

dark magic that has been leaking around his kingdom, still haven't found a way to stop them and now it

was Diana's unusual behaviour this morning.

The Diana this morning was not the arrogant lady he used to know who she always clung to him

begging for his attention. The aura that surrounded was nothing but cold and bitterness towards him

and her parents. She showed no respect and her manners weren't like a ladies which she should have

been taught since young age. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Though her reaction and behaviour towards the engagement which she spend years desperately trying

to keep it alive and make it work between them even if it was just a political marriage was shocking, he

nearly choked at her response.

Damon had thought she would refuse his request, flipping the table in anger and crying her eyes out

and pleading for him to reconsider but she did no such thing and accepted it nonchalantly while looking

into his eyes that held determination and hatred 'When did that bitch have the guts to stare at me like

she did with those hideous eyes of hers'.

It was like she woke up one morning and became a whole different person.

Nevertheless, staring at a crown prince like that would have had her eyes burned out but he let her go

because she agreed with the annulment and punishing would have gone too far.

But what dumbfounded him the most, is to how she knew the reason to why he came.

A long-frustrated sigh escaped his lips.

"What has the world become" he pinched the top of his nose.

*Knock Knock*

A sudden knock came from the large double doors that was in the far back of the room.

"You have permission to enter" he answered coldly while staring at the door with wolf like eyes.

The door creaked open and a young man with eyes of green and hair brown like the trunk of a tree,

popped his head in. His beaming eyes spotted Damon sitting in the far corner, the same cold demonic

aura surrounded him yet this time it was 2 times the coldness.

"Seems like the prince of Aureum is not feeling very happy today." he said with a teasing manner "Has

the annulment of Diana taken a toll?" Edmond mocked, walking in like he owned the place.

"Edmond I wouldn't go there unless you have a death wish" he shot a few daggering eyes at the young

prince who smiled awkwardly with a sweat drop down his forehead while he shuffled the back of his

brown messy hair.

"Hahah. Let me guess she flipped the table, threw a couple of fits before bursting into tears and ruining

your good-looking suit with her smudged and snotty face"

Damon would have sighed as in yes but that is not how it occured.

"That would have been the case however the unexpected behaviour of Diana is what got me baffled"

"Would you care to explain to your trusty old pal" he bowed, teasing the irritated prince across the

room. Damon narrowed his eyes at him.

"Why is it that you have come here?" Damon dodged his question.

Edmond scratched his head in thought. "I might have forgotten my reason of coming here".

The crown prince rubbed his temples in disappointment at the forgetful young prince of Terra.

Sometimes he wondered why he had placed him as second in command for the black spades. Maybe

his decision wasn't such a great decision after all.

"Has that small brain of yours decided to take a vacation or does it need me to bash it into a pile of goo

so it can start too corporate again".

"I remember, I remember" he waved his hands nervously, terrified of the idea. "We have report from the

night spades".

Damon shot up from his seat and his expression became serious. "Tell me"

"Where does Diana hide her stash of money?" I pinched my chin, roaming around the room as I

rummaged through the places that Diana might have hid her money.

I searched under the bed but could not find a chest. I looked behind the portrait but did not see a vault.

I searched through her cupboard but still could not find box or a chest holding valuable gold or notes or

whatever this ancient world uses for money.

'You may have been a stupid, naïve, and a dumbass bitch but you really are a great hider' I crouched

down and peeped my head under the vanity desk but my luck, there wasn't any box of money

anywhere.

I groaned in frustration, plopping myself on the floor and crossing my hands like a pouting child.

"Diana you're just making my life harder as it already it is" I mumbled as my brows twitched in

annoyance.

I slammed my fist on my palm remembering who might know where Diana hides her money. "Maybe

Stella or Lilly might have a clue on where Diana's money is"

I raced to the bell that was lying on the bed side table. I ran like my life depended on it just for a stupid

stack of money but I need that stupid stack of money.

Yet it was a stupid mistake. My feet got caught under the rug and I tripped, it felt like the world stopped

and my fall slowed down in slow motion letting me watch in 4K how I face palmed the floor.

BANG

I lay face flat on the floor like an idiot. As a no.1 assassin this is just embarrassing, so glad none of my

comrades aren't here to witness my clumsiness or they would have not let it go for a very long time

especially Daisuke. That brother of mine would have reminded me every day of my embarrassment fall.

Daisuke peeked his head from the doorway, he narrowed his eyes at me. "Sister, you eat that donut,

you will become one. A round, big donut with a giant hole in the middle and you will roll through the

street squishing people in your way as you roll your way to Krispy Kreme's for another chocolate

covered donut"

My donut was an inch away from my mouth as I glared at my older brother who was smiling at me

cheekily.

"You don't get yourself a girlfriend, you will become a miserable, wrinkly old man and no one will love

you then. Ever!"

"Who needs love when you got this" he had hint of fire in his eyes when he revealed his phone in the

air like he was waiting for thunder to struck down on it and make it some powerful weapon.

I rose my eyebrow in disbelief "Your hopeless"

"Pffft Daisuke you hopeless being. You better have found me a sister-in-law before I return or I will

destroy that mighty phone of yours" I mumbled to myself. That brother of mines is never good at talking

with girls. He could just smile at them sweetly and they would fall head over heels in love but then he

will make it awkward right after.

'don't worry Daisuke. When I return home, I'll look for you a loving wife since your useless at finding

one. I will make sure you two will end up happy forever and have adorable kids running around. She's

going to be someones loyal, trustworthy, beautiful and smart woman who will never leave you for

another unlike Itami'
