Being an Antagonist in a Novel
Episode 38's. Likey?

Audrey's body stiffened, the rant she was about to let out was immediately stuck in her throat as someone who kept knocking on her door suddenly hugged her very tightly. “K-you??”

“Audrey, where have you been? I'm really worried about you.”

The small muttering of the person hugging her made Audrey hold her breath, her face instantly flushed like a boiled crab. Yet she quickly shook her head, Audrey cleared her throat and released the arms of the man in front of her. “Why are you here? Don't you want to be with your new fiance?” ask Audrey cynically.

Xavier was silent for a moment. “Hah? What fiance?”

Audrey frowned. “Are you not engaged to Veronika.”

Xavier blinked innocently, he suddenly laughed out loud. “So you mean, I'm engaged to another girl?” xavier asked in between his laughter, Audrey snorted. He instantly closed the door of his room but could not because Xavier was holding the door. “Quiet, quiet. I'm just kidding, let me in first.”

“No want! You just go there! I'm sick of seeing your face!”

“Heh, really? Don't you miss me?” xavier asked with raised eyebrows, Audrey laughed blandly.

He looked at Xavier with a vexed face. “For what do I miss you? I don't like you myself!”

“Wah, what a pity. Though I wanted to tell you about that girl named Veronika.”

Audrey fell silent, she clucked and instantly closed the door of her room. Audrey leaned against the door and sat on the floor, Audrey hugging her knees. “What the fuck! I don't miss him at all! I don't even remember him, I just. Worried about my family, what if they're okay?” murmured Audrey, she buried her face between her knees and sighed.

'Being close to him is not good for my heart health, I have to stay away from him or I could have a heart attack.'

Audrey looked up, she patted both of her faces. “Aware, Audrey. Be aware!! You can't do this!” Audrey touched his chest. “This feeling should indeed not exist, I must erase this feeling! Everything is just a lie.” He shook his head quickly. “This shouldn't happen,” Audrey murmured.

“Hey, do you miss me?”

Audrey looked towards the balcony. “Er, why did you come here?”

“I heard you're back, so I'm here. Did you miss me?”

Audrey smiled wryly. 'Missed? I never even remember you, I keep remembering someone I should have shunned and avoided.'

“Hey, come. You miss me, don't you?”

Audrey sighed, she stood up and walked towards her bed. Audrey sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed Black and White. “I don't even remember you a day, why did you come back here?”

“Your words are very rude, I'll just ask.”

Audrey glanced at Er. “Go, Er. I don't want to be disturbed, I don't want to see you. You come back and don't bother me.”

“But--”

“Go!!” Audrey looked coldly at Er, she was screeching. Audrey walked up to the balcony of her room and immediately closed the door. “Don't see me again! I don't want to talk to anyone!”

ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ

'Now, I have to find out about Veronika. But who should I ask for help? It is impossible that if I go to the empire by myself and find out, it will arouse suspicion. I have to think of something else.' Audrey held her chin thinking, she sighed softly. 'I'm tired of this world if it's all done. I no longer need to pretend to be Audrey.'

“I'll help you.”

Audrey turned her head towards the voice, her forehead looking furrowed looking at Xavier who was walking towards her. “Why are you still here? I kicked you out.”

Without the ba-bi-bu, Xavier sat next to Audrey. The girl moved away. “Why do you always want to stay away from me?”

“Which word?”

“When you said you wanted to help me, what did you want to help?” audrey asked as she looked at Xavier with a frown. 'There is no way he can hear my heart.'

“Ah, that one. You look like you're being. frustrated? Em, no. Maybe more looks like a lot of pressure, what's up? Just tell me.”

Audrey sighed. “Free, you won't understand my thinking. You better just go there! I want to be alone.”

“I want to tell you something.”

“What?” asked Audrey who was half curious.

“What are you, still want to be my fiancee?”

Audrey is confused. “Hah?”

“Do you still want to be my fiancee?” xavier asked again, Audrey fell silent. He covered his face with both hands.

“No, you already have a new fiance. So don't come near me again and go to your fiancee.”

“Oh, so yes.” Xavier looked down with a sad face. “I think you're jealous because you heard about my engagement, that's why you came straight here.”

Audrey looked at him cynically. “Heh, crazy man. Look, yeah, this is my dad's house. My father's house, what does this have to do with you?” audrey asked as she pointed at the ground she was on, Xavier casually leaned back.

“But this is imperial land as well, so this land is the same as mine,” Xavier said proudly, Audrey rolled her eyes lazily.

“So, there go. I don't want to see your face!”

“Ah, is that correct?” xavier asked with a face raised, Audrey immediately retreated.

“Do not approach! Damn it.” Audrey threw her face while clucking, Xavier chuckled amusedly. He sat back and looked at the two small animals playing.

“Where did you find those two little animals? It seems very rare to find two different species of animals that can make friends.”

Audrey turned her gaze to Black and White. “Ah, I found her while lost in the forest. And for that white tiger.” Audrey was silent for a moment, she looked down. “He helped me while being held captive by the demon lord.”

Xavier turned his head towards her, implied by the sad face that Xavier could see on the girl in front of him. Audrey looked at Xavier and smiled sweetly. “Thank God I can survive, sorry if there were harsh words I said before. It's not me.” Audrey fell silent again, she looked at the two animals and smiled faintly. “Forget it, everything is past.”

“Oh yes, I also want to ask for help.”

“What?”

Audrey sighed. “Do you know Er? He was my best friend since childhood, but I had unconsciously snapped at him. I know I was wrong, but I didn't mean it either. So, if you know where Er is. Please tell him my apology.”

Xavier was speechless, he looked at Audrey with a hard to interpret gaze.

“Ad what? Why are you daydreaming?” audrey asked, Xavier shook his head and smiled faintly.

“Nothing, I just thought a few things. I also know Er, I'll tell her later. You don't have to worry, ok?” Xavier rubbed Audrey's hair gently, the girl's face instantly flushed to the earlobe.

Audrey hurriedly threw her face the other way. “Khem, then. Thank you for helping me.”

Xavier chuckles. “Your face turned red, have you really fallen in love with me?”
