Being an Antagonist in a Novel
Episode 4's. Bad news

“Audrey son, help us.”

The sound of sobs, cries for help and also the fishy smell of blood made Audrey freeze instantly. He stared with trembling eyes the corpse of a man lying stiffly in front of him.

Audrey sat in front of the body. 'No, no, no!! Brother, you can't die right? You're still alive, everyone's just kidding, right??'

Audrey smiled bitterly. “Kak, this is a lie, right? please tell me this is a lie! everything is not true, it is just an illusion! Y-you guys are okay, right?? I-sister, please answer me!!” Audrey shook her stiff body with flowing tears, her chest felt extremely tight.

“I heard, flowers in the garden of heaven can cure any disease. It can even revive the dead.”

Audrey looked behind her, two strangers talking to each other. Around her the two were surrounded by a bright light as if all the places Audrey stepped on were dark, she could not see the faces of the two. But could clearly hear the conversation of the two.

“Ah about that, I've heard the rumors. The flower in the garden of heaven is indeed a medicine and the key to life, but with such a precious flower. It will not be easy to get it.”

Audrey looked at her second voice, she stood up and staggered. “Stop, please stop,” Audrey murmured when she saw the two getting further away, her steps getting slower until she fell to the ground.

'I have to, get those flowers!'

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

“Nona Audrey!!”

Audrey opened her eyes with a glare, she looked at my Lixi who had been trying to wake her up. Her tears suddenly flowed and made Lixi flutter.

“Miss Audrey, what's wrong? is anyone sick? whereabouts? did I hurt you? am I interrupting your sleep?” she asked, Audrey got up and rubbed her face. He then looked at Lixi with his sweet smile.

“I'm fine, probably because I missed another Damian sister.”

'Again, again and again. Why do I always dream of the destruction of the Audrey Family? the dream was different, and every time I experienced it. Everything seemed real and natural, let alone the pain.' Audrey touched his chest.

“Nona Audrey? Are you not feeling well?” lixi asked worriedly, Nonanya never experienced anything until someone poisoned her.

“I'm fine, just a little dizzy. Maybe later it will be better, can you please give me a glass of water? I feel thirsty.”

“Good Miss, please wait here for a moment!” Lixi ran out of Audrey's room, while the girl got up and leaned back. He was daydreaming, confused by the dreams he had experienced in recent days.

'The flower of the garden of heaven, I have to find out about the flower!'

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

“Ayahanda, Sister cousin. Are Brother Damian and the others going back very long?” audrey asked, she hasn't even changed the pajamas she used.

“Audrey, what's up? Do you miss them?” Audrey nodded small, she lowered her head. “I miss them, very. very much miss them,” Audrey muttered.

“Very bad, I'm still here you know! don't you understand how I feel when you miss them?” Audrey looked at my dear Renzo, seeing the gaze of the cousin's sister made Renzo immediately wrestle with his own mind.

“Oh yes, this is a letter from Akademi.” Renzo handed her an envelope with a flower stamp, Audrey shifted it slowly as if she was not interested in anything. He stared at the begging Grand Duke who was grappling with his documents.

“Ayahanda.”

The Grand Duke turned his head towards Audrey with a frown. “What's up, baby? why does your voice sound raucous and weak?”

The Grand Duke seemed to be considering his decision, he sighed softly and looked at Audrey. “Alright, I'll-” The sound of knocking the door makes Grand Duke's speech cut off.

“What's up?” renzo asked in a cold tone, not liking it because someone immediately cut off the speech from his beloved cousin's father.

“Pardon my sassness, Young Master. Sir, and Miss Audrey. But there's a letter from the empire.” Audrey who heard it suddenly ran towards the bodyguard and snatched the envelope in her hand, she impatiently opened the envelope and left the two men behind confused.

After a long silence, the clear crystal could no longer be contained.Tear drops immediately flowed and fell onto the floor.

“K-sister Damian,” Audrey muttered in a quivering tone, she threw the letter and immediately ran out.

'Hahaha, that letter is a lie, right? that's a fake letter! sure, surely Brother Damian is fine!!' Audrey ran as fast as she could to the stables, she picked up one of the horses and rode it. Audrey jerked the horse bridle and quickly headed to the imperial palace.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

“Sorry Miss, you must not enter!” Several servants tried to stop Audrey from entering the palace.

“Let me go! I want to see Brother Damian!!” scream Audrey. “Sister Caesar!!”

“Let him go.” all the servants instantly lined up and bowed respectfully, Audrey stared faintly at the man who was none other than Caesar. “K-sister Caesar, where's Brother Damian?” audrey asked, Caesar hugged her tightly.

“Jawab brother! where's Brother Damian!!” Audrey tried to rebel and let go of Caesar's increasingly hardened embrace. “Trust Audrey, Damian will be fine. She, she will only fall asleep long enough!” Caesar took off his embrace and looked at Audrey who had been crying a mouthful.

“Sister will try to find a cure to get rid of the poison, Audrey. Now, Damian wants to see you.” Caesar rubbed Audrey's cheeks gently, he smiled faintly and pulled Audrey's hand gently to follow him.

Audrey just kept quiet as she followed Caesar, her mind now filled with anxiety towards Damian. Caesar opened the door to Damian's room, Audrey immediately ran out and knelt in front of Damian who was silent with her eyes closed.

Audrey forced a smile on her face. “K-brother Damian, this is Audrey. Damian's sister misses Audrey?” Audrey touched Damian's cold hand, Even the man's hand had turned blue due to the poison spreading.

“Why did this happen? Audrey doesn't want any of this, Audrey just wants you. Brother Damian wake up, we go home. Father and Mother are waiting for us.” Audrey held a tightness in her chest.

“Sister Damian--”

“Nona Audrey--”

“Shut up!! You guys should be able to heal Brother Damian! butwhat?? you guys just shut up and do nothing!” audrey shouted to vent the resentment, anger, disappointment, and sadness mixed in her heart.

“But Miss Audrey-”

“Get out of here!!”

Caesar sat down beside Audrey, he pulled his sister and hugged her tightly. “Quiet, Audrey. Damian will be fine, rest assured. Damian won't be weak and he'll definitely live for you, so don't give up. Audrey, Damian would be sad to see you like this.” Caesar tried to calm Audrey down with the words that appeared in her brain.

“Sister, Brother Damian. Dia-”

“Already yes, Damian will be fine. Audrey, she'll be fine.”

Audrey gave a small nod, she looked at Damian with her crooked eyes. 'Brother Damian, I will. I'll do anything to make you safe! even though I had to resist even if, since childhood. I was always on the bridle, treated like a doll. Until I kept a secret, and everything I wanted. I locked everything in the barn, a key I thought would never come off again. But ever since you were, ever since you were, I've always felt happy and like the world was so good to me, but now. The world again wants to seize one of my powers.'
