I Accidentally Kidnapped The Ultimate Villain – Chapter 11

Ch 11

Was it because she was trapped between Lionell’s thick arms? Although he was the one who asked for a goodnight kiss, it somehow felt like he was going to give it to her. So, Aria, feeling uncomfortable with sharing the same breath as him, turned her head away.

“What are you doing?”

“I, you were the one who told me to do it!”

“Are you going to do it?”

“No.”

At her firm answer, his face approached in the direction she had turned her head. He was a dangerously handsome man, no matter how many times she looked at him.

“What is it?”

This time, when Aria dodged in the opposite direction, he was genuinely annoyed.

“Princess.”

“…….”

“Isn’t this too much?”

“It’s… because I need to prepare myself!”

“Does the Princess also need that?”

“Of course!”

She couldn’t bring herself to look at him as he glared at her as if confused, so she averted her gaze. Even when looking far away, she couldn’t help but feel his burning gaze as if he would devour her.

“Then when will that preparation be done?”

“It will never be done!”

“Huh.”

Lionell sighed as if he was dumbfounded and released her from his arms.

“Really?”

“Yes!”

It wasn’t a lie. No matter when he came, she would never be ready. If it were the real Princess Aria, she would have kissed him right away without any preparation. Not just a goodnight kiss, but another kind of kiss.

“Fine. I’ll let it slide this time.”

As he said that and stepped back, Aria felt relieved and grabbed the doorknob behind her. Then, she quickly opened it and went outside.

◈◈◈

When Aria returned to her room, which she had barely memorized, a maid was standing in front of the door.

“Ah, do you know where my father is now?”

“He has just left the palace. Shall I inform His Excellency that the Young Lady is looking for him?”

“Ah, no! It’s okay for today.”

“Yes, then I will come to escort you for dinner.”

“Okay…….”

As the maid was about to leave with a kind smile, she spoke urgently.

“Don’t come into my room from now on.”

“Pardon?”

“Until Bell returns, absolutely no one, neither maids nor ladies-in-waiting, should enter without permission. Understood?”

“Yes, Young Lady.”

If she said this, no one would come in. Remembering the outrageous acts Princess Aria had committed, no one would come even if she said it only once. Until Bell returned, no one was allowed into this room.

‘I should have asked when Bell would be back!’

As she opened the door, not having organized her thoughts, she saw Killian sitting quietly under the bed. The carpet on the floor was red, and its splendor seemed to suit him well.

“Are you just arriving?”

“Yes.”

It seemed like he had washed up, as his condition was neat. But she noticed that he had a cloth around his neck. It seemed like he was bleeding again.

“Are you okay?”

“No. It seems like the wound has reopened.”

She took out the first-aid kit that she had put aside, transferred some cotton onto the tweezers, and soaked it with disinfectant. After shaking it to show him, he slowly removed the cloth from his neck.

“Ugh…….”

A long gash remained on his neck, and every time he swallowed, blood would gush out.

“It must hurt a lot, right?”

“Yes. It’s also a little itchy.”

“How is your head?”

“My head is fine.”

As Killian spoke nonchalantly, she slowly wiped his neck. It seemed painful yet itchy, as he was frowning and trembling.

“What about your memory?”

“I don’t remember anything.”

“Ah…….”

But when she saw him earlier, was there a wound on his neck?

That’s strange.

She clearly checked his head and nose, but when she thought about whether there was a wound on his neck like this, it didn’t seem like it.

If he was hurt this badly, it didn’t make sense that she hadn’t seen it?

No, let’s not be suspicious.

There’s no way Killian would intentionally hurt himself, right? He’s lost his memory and is in a very unstable state. Besides, although she didn’t want to, she was the one who hurt him.

Aria shook her head, thinking it was unnecessary suspicion.

“Princess Aria, were you someone who knew me well?”

“No. I wasn’t that close to Killian.”

“Then why didn’t you send me back right away?”

“Because the Duke has many political rivals. If you go back now, something terrible will happen.”

The psychopathic mastermind wouldn’t have good relationships. He was a figure of fear to his servants, and a target of revenge for some.

She wanted to send him back right away, but if he went back like this, he might kill her later. If he regained his memory, he would take terrible revenge. And if he went back without regaining his memory, he would surely face a terrible fate. She couldn’t do that to someone who was hurt in the head and had lost his memory because of her.

“Even though you said you weren’t close, why are you worried about me?”

“Because I did something wrong. If I hadn’t kidnapped you in the first place, you wouldn’t have been hurt, and you wouldn’t be in trouble, right?”

Aria smiled as kindly as possible while wiping his neck. She could see that the bleeding was gradually stopping, but the cotton was already soaked with blood, so she had to take out a new one, fix it on the tweezers, and wipe again.

She was about to bring the new cotton soaked in disinfectant to his neck. Then, her wrist was grabbed, and the purple eyes that were glaring at her changed to a blank expression again.

“Can you tell me who the guest who just came was?”

“Did you hear everything?”

She remembered that she had left the window open earlier. But to think that he could hear the sound, even though the rooms were at opposite ends of the floor.

“I could hear it because I left the door to the terrace open.”

“Ah…….”

Before she knew it, Killian’s nose was so close that it was hard to make eye contact. So, she looked down and turned her head to avoid eye contact, but he was coming even closer.

“Princess Aria.”

“Yes?”

“Can you tell me who the guest who just came was?”

His face was so close that she moved her body slightly away. Once she was away from his lips, which seemed like they would touch, she could breathe.

The purple eyes she met after averting her gaze were so bewitching that they made her honest.

“His Highness the Crown Prince came.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know. He said he came to see my father.”

Then, she remembered that Lionell had stolen Bell Rosia from her.

To have Bell Rosia stolen.

Even thinking about it again made her dizzy. She had no one to be her informant, and the original story had started twisted. All that was left were the characters’ settings. The main story hadn’t even started.

“Actually, I’m not the Duke’s…….”

“You are calling me by my title again. Please call me by my name.”

It was strange that he was insisting on his name, but maybe he was uncomfortable being called by his title because he had lost his memory.

“Killian.”

“Yes.”

“Actually, I… I, Your Highness…….”

Could she say that she tried to kidnap him but failed? That was a crime.

“Yes.”

As he glared and urged her to answer, she was sweating so much that it was hard to breathe.

“Actually, I was following him around too much! He came to warn me because he was displeased!”

“Is he your ideal type?”

“Not… not anymore.”

He was still looking at Aria with suspicious eyes.

“I’m weak for pretty people, like Killian.”

She didn’t know what she was saying. But when she looked into his eyes, it was as if he was a sculpture made by a god, and she couldn’t help but talk about his beauty.

“Am I prettier than him?”

“Yes.”

“Then do you still like him now?”

She couldn’t understand what Killian was asking, but she felt like if she angered him any more, he wouldn’t let it slide.

“I don’t know. I don’t like him now.”

“…….”

“I know it doesn’t make sense that feelings can be sorted out in just a few days, but now, even when I see him, I don’t feel that excited, or like I’ll die without him.”

Because it’s a different person.

For now, she should pretend that she had given up well, and she should also help Killian recover and send him back.

Her goal was to stay away from the two male leads, go down to the territory, live comfortably, and then leave.

My goal is to live very, very well.

So, for now, she just needed to think about how to sort out this tangled situation.

The original story is twisted, but the characters… what should I do? The characters’ settings seem a bit different too.

The Crown Prince had many problems with his personality, unlike in the original story. Maybe the original story changed, and his personality was also ruined?

While Aria was agonizing, Killian suddenly opened his mouth.

“Am I a disappointment?”

“Ah, I might be disappointed. It’s because it’s the opposite of his kind appearance.”

“Did you like his kind appearance?”

“Yes. I liked his kind and trustworthy appearance.”

To Melina.

Then, he returned to his blank expression again. She was uncomfortable because she couldn’t read his thoughts from his expression. She couldn’t tell what he was thinking, or if he wasn’t thinking anything at all.

“Why do you like someone who is trustworthy?”

“Because I wanted to be his lover? That’s what being lovers is like. Trusting each other and relying on each other.”

“Then, did you try to kidnap His Highness because you wanted to rely on him?”

“I don’t know. I think that’s what it was like back then, but not now.”

The blood flowing from his neck had stopped, so she took the opportunity to gently apply ointment. Throughout the application, he was looking at her face as if he would pierce through her, so she had to be careful not to make eye contact.

If she was disliked for no reason, he might revoke his promise to pretend that nothing happened when he regained his memory.

It was out of fear, but also out of pity.

“I’ll put on a bandage.”

“Yes.”

To bandage his neck, she had to almost hug him. She lifted her arms, wrapped them around his neck, and then wrapped it around again. His breath touched her neck, making her feel strange.

A chill spread from her neck to her whole body.

It felt like cold water had fallen on her.

“Aria.”

“Hah, yes!”

She was startled by him calling her and accidentally dropped the bandage. The rolled-up bandage rolled away and unraveled, and when she reached out to grab it, her hand was stopped by something.

When Aria looked again, surprised by the cold touch, it was his hand.

“What if I do something bad to Aria?”
