Being an Antagonist in a Novel
Episodes 15. Dangerous village

The two turned to the origin of the voice, Eryk and Zachary dashed small towards the two.

“We're fine, don't worry,” said Audrey with both hands behind her back, she was trying to hide the tools she used to kill the bandits.

“Are you okay? Is anyone hurt? Why is your uniform full of blood??” eryk asked in a row, Audrey scratched her non-itchy nape. He doesn't know how to explain it.

“Ah, I'm fine. I'm not hurt, so don't worry. About this blood, I was accidentally taken hostage by one of the bandits. And luckily, His Majesty saved me and Bella.” Audrey glanced at Xavier, the man just kept silent as he stuffed his sword back into the sword sheath.

Xavier then took the sword Audrey had used earlier and gave it to the girl. “Take this, don't bother me anymore.”

Audrey picked up the sword while babbling inwardly. 'What?? Troubled me? Heh, crazy boy. Who's bothering you!? It's me you're bothering here!' inner Audrey does not accept, it could-can be considered troublesome.

“Eryk, can you help me bring Bella? She seems to be in shock and unconscious.” Audrey turned her head towards Abella, Eryk nodded. He walked towards Abella who was lying unconscious and carried her bridal style.

“Sorry to trouble you,” said Audrey is not feeling good, Eryk smiled faintly.

“No problem, go to your carriage. I'll take Abella there.”

Audrey nodded, she walked towards her carriage and saw the coachman who seemed unconscious. Either because of surprise or maybe accidentally exposed to poison from the ancient stone earlier.

Audrey sighed, she opened her bag and took out a bottle of medicine from her bag. Audrey moved to the driver and opened the bottle.

He then tapped his chin thinking. 'How can he open his mouth??'

Audrey sighed, trying to open the driver's mouth from behind. It was quite troublesome for him to do it himself, but fortunately everything worked out. He could pour the medicine into the driver's mouth.

And not long after, the coachman coughed and woke up. He was about to go down, but realized that the dagger was now right around his neck.

“Don't scream, don't fuck. If you don't obey, your life will float in space! Now, turn around and walk to where the professor told you. If you argue.” Audrey moved a little dagger and almost hit the man's neck.

“Remember sir, my splints are very poisonous. If you get hit just a little bit, you'll die right then and there. If you don't want to be like your friends. So listen to my words calmly,” continued Audrey with a calm expression, she only occasionally glanced at Abella who was still unconscious.

“A-I understand, I will obey and take you to where the professor wants.”

“Ah, we have finally arrived.” Audrey stretched the muscles of her arms, her originally bright face turned puzzled when she saw the quiet atmosphere of the village.

The residents just stared flat from the windows of the house.

'What really happened?'

“Welcome, you children sent by the empire to help us. Kan?” ask a 6-headed man.

“Ah sorry, we are not-”

“True, we are children sent to find out the existence of the poisonous herbal flower,” Xavier replied in a flat tone without expression, Audrey looked at him confusedly.

“Toxic flowers?”

Audrey said, she did not expect that she who was just an ordinary girl was actually sent to complete a mission that was very difficult for her.

“What will I be useful?” audrey asked as she looked at them all in turn, she was doubtful of her own ability. He was afraid that he would burden others and end up failing the mission.

Xavier suddenly clasped his hands silently, a shocked Audrey looked at Xavier's still calm face as if nothing had happened.

“Don't worry, your healing power is much needed here,” said Zachary and made Audrey turn her head towards him, the girl lowered her head and nodded smallly. There was a sense of relief in his heart when he knew his strength would be useful in this situation.

“You all rest first, I will take you to your respective rooms.” The man walked away with his cane, the five of them staring at each other before following the man.

“Please, here's the girls' room. And over here, the men's room.”

Fifthly nodded. “Thank you, mr. village chief,” replied Audrey, the man nodded and walked away.

Audrey looked at her four comrades in turn. “Everything, maybe for today. You can rest as much as possible, tomorrow we will start investigating the disaster that occurred.”

“Can I go around the village?” ask Eryk.

“Your Highness, how is the details of this case?” Audrey turned to Xavier who had just been silent and made no sound.

Xavier sighed. “Day is late afternoon, return to their respective rooms. And do not go out again, make sure to lock the door and do not open it to anyone!”

They all glanced at each other with puzzled faces, yet still nodded and walked into their respective rooms.

After Abella walked in, Audrey closed the door and locked it. He then looked at the two mattresses in the room and walked over to one of the mattresses.

“Bella, you sleep there. Let me sleep here,” said Audrey, Abella nodded with a pale face. The girl seemed to be completely in shock after being almost killed this afternoon.

Audrey put the bag beside her, she then blew the candle on the table and lay down. Audrey pulled the blanket and closed her eyes.

The wind rustled in the middle of the night, a masked girl standing on the roof quietly like a lotus calm on the water.

With the sword sheath tied around his waist, the black clothes were rather tight. And a beautiful red fox mask, her hair was allowed to decompose until it looked very beautiful brought by the moonlight and was buffeted by the wind.

There was an arrow behind his back, next to his hand was holding an arrow.

'The invasion this time, looks like it will be very dangerous.' The girl looked up at the beautiful moon without any clouds.

'This moonlight, it makes me feel dangerous. Will they show up again this time? If true, it would be difficult to save the villagers.' The girl sighed softly, she took the ashes in her pants pocket and threw them into the sky. The ash automatically fell towards him, like a magic. The girl's body was slowly transparent until she disappeared.

'I will search for the source and complete this mission as soon as possible, this village is too dangerous for the residents to live in. And what Xavier said this afternoon, it seems like the night in this village is very dangerous.'
