My Man Is A Villain, So Am I!

+++

Marinette (Sun-hee)'s POV

The tree branches were almost out as the hours passed by. Even with the warmth, I still felt the cold in the cave. Everywhere I touched was snow and the melted cold water.

There wasn't any sound except the snoring of the guy sharing the same cave with me. I turned my head leaning against the wall staring at the snow blocking our entrance.

It was really quiet and peaceful...but somehow I was a little bit lonely. Was it the heart of the new body I was in at that time? It was throbbing every minute, her palm was rough unlike Marinette's.

Everyone wished to be the female lead of a story, with everything revolving around them, with many people caring for them.

I took a deep breath closing my eyes leaning back against the cold wall, I was wondering the whole time who I was waiting to rescue me.

In the end, it was only myself and I who could get myself out of there. There was no use waiting for someone.

Death Rose Magic: Rose Revolution

A pile of roses grew from the inside of the snow that covered our entrance,  I took many steps back from the entrance and went to  Victor.

I woke him up gently, he was confused when waking up from a peaceful sleep.

We might die in the cave if one thing goes wrong but if we didn't try anything, we'll die from hunger since his stomach has been rumbling for many times then.

I learned the magic from Herod, but I wasn't on his level to levitate it from the ground. I summoned the big rose petal and wrapped it around me and him.

I came out from the rose petal and rushed to grab the fire torch and landed it on the pile of rose I cast. It was set on fire melting all the snow but the smoke filled the cave.

Thanks to the big petal covering us like a globe, we were lucky to survive another day.

"You did it." the snowstorm outside also disappeared when we got out and the sun also rose high on the sky.

"Yeah..." I told him to go before me since I had to do something in the cave, he listened to me and did what I said.

Maybe it was because I was Diana.

The moment he got out, I fell on the cold ground wiping the blood coming out of my mouth to the wall of the cave.

My throat felt dry from the coughing,  I lied to Victor about the big rose petal protecting us from inhaling the smoke but in reality, I inhale the smoke myself.

Turning the smoke into dark energy, the balance between the four magics of mine started to crumble again.

I stayed for a long time in the cave to make sure he won't find out anything about the truth. I took the snow and covered my blood with it.

I had so many things to worry about, if my guess was right, Tristan would get the mission from the tyrant emperor today. I really didn't care...if anything happened to him.

Ack...

My heart ached terribly when I thought of that. It might be because I was in Diana's body. And another thing was Diana was staying in Marinette's body as I was up here in the snowy mountain.

She also traveled back in the past, so it will be impossible if Diana won't try to stop Tristan from meeting his death in this life. But to help Tristan, Diana will have to go on the mission with him in Marinette's body. And that was the last thing I wanted to happen.

[Sun-hee's time remaining: 60 days.]

Using a lot of magic really reduced the remaining time even if I was in Diana's body. So the world only allowed me to be here in at least two months more.

So...I won't be afraid of death. I will go on the mission instead of Diana in her body to save Tristan. I could be killed along with Diana's body facing the target of the mission.

At least Marinette's brother will be saved, and Marinette will be glad. Marinette also came back when I returned to earth, which meant her will to be back in her body was strong so there was no way she would lose to Diana. Marinette will have her body back.

No matter how much I hate Tristan, I couldn't bear what happened to Marinette if he dies.

Aurora improved so much when she stood up against her own mother and brother. With the support of the person she will be meeting, she will claim back her father's property.

Irene will be seeking me when she finishes mourning over her friend's death but Aurora will know what to do since I already told her all the plans. And about the scumbag priest, I didn't care whether he could reach Herod on time or not. If he was lucky, he will get the antidote from Herod since I gave Herod before leaving that night.

For now, my goal was to leave this place and come back to the duchy...duchy...???

When I stepped out of the cave, Victor was standing there looking at the leg of the mountain with his eyes wide open. I turned to look in the same direction as him.

Why wasn't I surprised seeing that??!

The land of the dragon, the mountain covered in snow, and the rich spiritual energy around me.

It was the north empire!!

At the leg of the mountain below us, the avalanche that happened a moment ago fell down from the mountain but didn't cover the palace since it had the overpowered magic barrier protecting it.

If Anastasia, the core empire of the world had the magic energy and the light magic of the goddess of the world, then the north empire, the empire led by the descendant of the dragon, emperor Reyna de Igneel will be the empire of the dragon of the world itself.

The blonde hair blew along with the wind as I stepped on the big rock and sat on it looking at the beautiful scenery from above. Victor sat beside me soon after, he said, "It's been a while since we did this together, huh?"

"...yeah..." I had no idea when was the last time Diana and he did something like this, so I just went with the flow.

I didn't have a single penny on my body, and thanks to my bad luck Diana didn't even wear a piece of jewelry with her that day.

And when I turned to ask Victor, with only a bag and the sword on his waist, he had no other thing.

I felt so hopeless knowing the way back to Anastasia won't be easy especially crossing the border. To cross the border, we had to get past the eye of the dragon protecting the land. The enormous dragon all the way on the other side of the mountain over there sleeping.

It will detect any intruder and summon the army of dragons to kill the intruder at once. And the dragon we faced before didn't even belong to the dragon army. It was just a training dummy for the knight in this empire to train themselves.

How did I get here?? But the important question was how did Victor end up here?

"How are you here, Victor?" I decided to ask him as we descend the mountain carefully.

"I was on the business trip and happened to find you at that mountain."

"...I see."

Business trip...

Smiling innocently at the end of his answer telling me that he was on the business trip, that smile kinda remembered the part I read about him when he pushed Marinette into the pile of snow in the middle of winter.

The leg I used the light magic to heal was walking without hurting, in the last life, he used it to kick Flynn in front of Marinette.

I didn't know when that smile turned to a mocking smile, but that moment, inside Diana's body...I felt safe since she was the main character of his life.

"Wow, how can a person be so beautiful??"

"Are they a couple?? Even the guy beside her is so handsome."

"Kyaa, they are really made for each other."

The murmur of people of the north empire as we walked along the street was quite embarrassing, I chose to keep the distance from Victor but my hand was already locked since he held it tightly ever since the time we walked down the mountain.

I didn't shake his hands off because I knew clearly what was his reason, I could sense all the glare at us, it was ever since we got here. At least twenty people were following us.

The people here didn't use magic much, they relied on spiritual magic to transform themself into the dragon. It was an attribute bestowed by the mighty dragon Igneel.

He was the dragon living in the world even before the goddess descend on the world. And that dragon on the mountain that everyone bowed as they saw him was Igneel.

With the breath coming out of his nose, it warmed the small empire over Millenium. I knew a lot of information about the empire because I have been researching it ever since I came into the world.

The north, the west, the east, and the south, I researched all of them because it will be an important key for me to annul the engagement.

The smell of the food they sold between the street really teased my hunger. I was so hungry, if it wasn't for Victor supporting me, I would already faint.

But the food didn't come for free and right now, we were like beggars.

"Are you hungry, Victor?" he chuckled when hearing my question, I was confused by this guy.

He kept on smiling holding my hand. I tried to shake him off many times but he always told me the excuse of losing each other in the crowd.

"Aren't you the one hungry, Mari--Diana??"

"We should have eaten the flesh of the--" I was going to say dragon, and if I were to say that, my head would already be dropped on the ground but I stopped myself on time and Victor pulled me to the wall putting his hand on my lip to shut me up.

I could see the full view of his red face up close as my back was against the wall and his arm was blocking all my escape. I was in his arm and everyone was staring at us.

"Sorry..."

"No, it's alright." it felt like a deja vu somehow.

We decided to sit on the bench at the park with not a single flower in it, just grass and tree.

A man sat pushed me to the middle and sat beside me, even with a glare of Victor fulling of killing intent, that strange guy didn't budge.

He took a deep breath and threw the white flower to the ground and stumbled over it.

"Why is it so hard to find a flower?!!! Damn it!!" my ears were almost broken because of that guy's screaming. I could see the woman all the way over there looking at him in disgust.

Suddenly, I had an idea. It felt like he was a savior and a light to me in the middle of the darkness.

"Emm...sir..." I was afraid to make a conversation with him with his intimidating aura. I really couldn't believe a woman rejected such a rich man as him.

Well, women in this empire treasure love over money...I really couldn't blame them.

"What?? I'm not in the good mood right now..."

"I see you're rejected--"

"Hey...I don't care if you're a woman, but don't mock me like that."

"If you touch her, I'll kill--"

"Ahahaha!!! I didn't mean that, sir!!" I  laughed out loud to cut Victor's words, if he were to say that, my money will run away from me.

"What do you want??? Say it quick."

"I can give you a ton of flowers!"

"Pfft, even I could only get one white flower...how could you--" his jaw dropped without finishing his sentence when he turned to look at my hand, and what I was holding.

"So~how much will you pay me??" I could run a flower shop in this empire to earn money.
