Being an Antagonist in a Novel
Episode 59's. Barmy

Audrey stood on the edge in a beautiful blue dress, her gaze so flat and directed towards the dense forest across the ravine.

'T-shirt was my last day, at least. I can do one good thing before my death.'

“Audrey!”

Audrey glanced back. “You've come.”

Neon smile. “You arrive early, there is a per-”

“Don't see me again.”

“What?” asked Neon with a slightly wrinkled forehead.

“Don't see me again, stay away from me and don't remember me, assume this is the last day we met,” Audrey said without turning around.

“Audrey, your joke is not funny!”

“This is no joke, I said what I wanted to say. Stay away from me and never see me again or remember me.”

“But why??” neon asked with an indecipherable look of his face, he stepped towards Audrey but his steps immediately came to a halt when he saw the girl standing right on the edge of the abyss. “Audrey, what. What are you gonna do?” tanya Neon was wary.

“I won't do anything, I brought you here just to tell you that.” Audrey sighed, she turned around with an unreadable look. “So this is our last meeting, never or think to see me again after this.”

“Why? Do you hate me?”

Audrey shaking. “No, I don't hate you at all. I've even considered you my brother, but let me be selfish this time. I don't want to see you again my whole life!”

Neon smiled wryly, she turned her gaze away from the girl in front of him with tears constantly being held back. “Do you know how I've been feeling all this time?”

“I know.”

Two words from Audrey made Neon look back at her. “Is that why you want me to stay away from you and not remember you anymore? Do you think I'll be disappointed when you find out you love Xavier and will kill that guy?”

Audrey looked at him with a slightly wrinkled forehead. “Why are you thinking-”

“I saw it, Audrey. Three days ago, I went to the Grand Duke's residence to see you.” Neon threw away his face with a wry smile, a clear look of disappointment in his eyes. “And back then, I saw you with Xavier.”

Audrey sighed. “It turns out you saw it, but I said it not because of Xavier. The thing I said earlier had nothing to do with him at all.”

“Then why?? Why do you want me to stay away from you so much!?”

“Because.” Audrey hung up her sentence, she closed her eyes for a moment before looking seriously at Neon. “I hate you.”

Neon looked at him in disbelief. “Then, why haven't you said that all this time? Why do you look okay next to me??” neon asked with a trembling voice.

“That's because, I consider you my brother. But you think I'm different, that's why I hate and don't want to see you again,” said Audrey, she bit her inner lips. 'There's no way I'm saying that I'm going to die tomorrow, it's going to make him even more devastated.'

Neon turned around and rubbed his face rough. “Alright, if that's your will. I won't see you or find out anything about you, I promise!” He walked with big strides and left the cliff.

Audrey noticed Neon's back growing farther away and disappearing from the darkness, she turned her head towards the abyss and looked down. “You know, even if you're going to try to see me or look for me. You won't see each other again, someday. This chasm will bear witness to my death.”

Audrey smiling. “Sorry I left without saying goodbye, can you help me? Just once.”

Gina blinked with an innocent face, she smiled. “What do you mean, Miss? You can ask for my help whenever you want.”

Audrey slightly lowered her head with a wry smile, she closed her eyes and regulated her hunting breath. “Please gather all family members and wait for me to be brought, also order all servants not to disturb or eavesdrop on any conversation. If you can, take them to the park for a while.”

“Eum, it's okay. But can Miss tell you what Miss wants to talk about?”

“Let those who tell you later, please carry out my command earlier as soon as possible.”

Despite looking puzzled, Gina still walked out and closed the door.

Audrey leaned back, she let out a long sigh. 'At least, let me see you all before I die.'

ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ

“Does anyone know why Audrey brought us all together?” asked the Grand Duke, his three sons shook their heads not knowing.

“We-”

“Where is Sister Caesar?”

The three turned to the origin of the voice, Audrey stepped down while looking around but could not find her eldest brother.

“Sir Caesar returned to the empire this morning, what is it that you suddenly asked us to assemble?”

“I, would like to thank you all. Thank you for accepting me even though I know I'm not Audrey, thank you for not hating me for lying to you. And thank you for bestowing your affection on me all this time.”

“Audrey, what do you want to say? Why do I feel like there's something weird about you?” ask Damien.

“You seem to be saying farewell words,” muttered Mike and nodded to Damien.

Audrey was silent for a moment, she smiled very thinly. “Sister Mike already understood, I did say the farewell words.”

“For what? Why do you say those words when you yourself do not want to go anywhere.”

Audrey turned to Grand Duke, she stared fixedly at the face that started to show those wrinkles yet still looked very handsome. “Because, I'll go tomorrow,” said Audrey with a sweet smile.

“Why did you leave? Did you hate me for slapping you that day? That day I really didn't mean it! I just can't accept you saying that my sister is dead.”

“No, this is not because of the case of Brother Damien who slapped me. Although without doing anything, I will still leave here and will not come back again.”

“What do you mean, don't joke! I won't let you go or get out of your room for a second!!”

Audrey looked at the three in turn, their gentle smile on her face. A very rare smile was shown by an Alina. “I'll only be out to see Xavier tomorrow, if Brother forbids me. I'd still be gone, if you locked me in my room and tightened my guard. Then I will leave without saying goodbye to Xavier.”

“Why do you want to leave so badly!? Do you want to kill yourself?? Then, I'll empty your room and lock you up! That way, you won't try to kill yourself again!”

“Free.” Audrey snared her words, her teary eyes holding back tears. She bit her deep lips, Audrey touched her chest. “I hope, you will help Xavier to finish off the demon lord. Now, his strength had been sealed completely and he was in a weakened state. You can use imperial power to finish off the demons at once and not have to worry about Raymond's strength coming back.”
