My Stubborn Mistress - Chapter 397 Somewhere, Trapped In Time
There is a knock on her door. The ship now began sailing out between the channel. She supposed to be preparing for the escape plan they were plotting, the moment she aboard this ship, wearing a disguise as a man.
But how she could do that? When her body is burning?
It must be the tea. Something added into the tea.
Gladly, she only takes a small volume of the hot liquid. The effect is not fatal. Her vision working all right, and the shivering of her nerves are controllable. She could still fight.
She takes a deep breath: inhaling and exhaling.
Yet, grateful she is, she has a high resistance to anything. The drug won’t take effect that highly. But Levi and Quinn must know that the prince has to try to drug Marivella. But as she pretended to be her, now she suffers a light effect.
Yes. It was her, pretending as Marivella. Happily, they could convince her to leave the ship with Lisa’s help; were Charles and Gene waiting in a carriage somewhere in the port.
Yes. She and Marivella exchanged clothes, and it was Marivella who left from this ship wearing a face veil she made for her. But it is necessary. Even though how she wanted to keep the veil for herself, but she wondered if she could even take it to the future.
Anyway, that was not her main concern at this moment, but to save Marivella. She replaces her, as one day with Levi and Quinn, the time would come, they will mysteriously disappear.
If the prince doesn’t notice the difference which she had a guess he has good instincts. No matter what will happen, the least, Marivella was in good hands hiding.
By now, they surely are away, headed to Spain borders with Charles’s friends to hide at for the meantime.
All that matters now is her acts till to the end. She felt when the ship began moving. They were slowly leaving the port. She must change her clothing, and go to the storage room where Levi and Quinn hiding in a box. They were nailed inside. And so, she must notify Aleksi to free them now. But her body, she began forming alike fever heat.
“Papa, Levi… hang on,” Madison mumbles inside her head.
“Marivella, are you now sleeping? It was me.”
Prince Yoo Joon knocking on the door. Madison pretended to be sleep.
A creak of the door gradually opening and then shutting it back silently. She listens carefully and presses the lids of her eyes when faint footsteps coming closer toward her. She felt when that person sat on the bed.
“Are you feeling sick? What do you want me to do? Anything I could help you.”
Damn you! I cannot forgive you for planning to drug my mother! Madison cursing inside her head. She began sweating. Good thing, she could still control her breathing and her muscles.
She felt that cold palm touching her forehead. But what happens next, she saw his memories.
Stop! Please! Madison begs. She wanted to stop these memories she’s seeing.
“Who are you!? You’re not Marivella!” yelled by the prince.
Stood from the bed, he did a conscious step backward. He hurls grim gazes at Madison’s direction.
“Who are you!” he repeats his question.
Madison gets up and sits on the bed, faces the prince and meeting his glare. She just grinned at him arrogantly.
“Who are you?” she returned the question.
“I was the one who asked you first! Now answer me!” The prince is losing patience with her. “Where is Marivella!” irritably, he shouted once again.
“You haven’t answered me, yet, prince.” Madison made sure it emphasizes the word prince.
“It was you! I knew from the beginning, I can’t trust you!”
“So do I, prince? If you are the prince?” scornfully, Madison sneers at him. “Therefore, I made sure Marivella could leave the ship before you could sail out,” she added.
Prince Yoo Joon recalls something about earlier. Now anger written all over his face like he wanted to crush Madison. “That woman!” he blurted out.
“That’s right. Marivella is with the woman I accompanied, earlier.”
Madison smirked and Prince Yoo Joon was getting pissed for real.
“Do you think you could getaway? This ship could turn back—”
“And I won’t let you do that!” Madison jumps on her feet and attacks the prince. Both of her hands, she pulled his robe; holding him by his collar.
“Despicable! How dare you attack the prince! Once we arrive in my kingdom, I will cut your head off!”
Grabbing Madison’s arms holding his clothes, the prince threatens her.
But Madison fears nothing as she knew that she won’t stay longer in this era. And so, she more likes to taunt him further.
“Really? What kingdom? I know you are not from this era either. What did you do to the real prince?” she sneered, showing that she’s not afraid of him.
“You! Don’t tell me, you can see the future?”
“I can see not only a glimpse of the future, but I could also see a past life.”
“What?”
“Who are you in the past and the future?”
“And who are you to be worthy of my answer? How dare you to look at my past! You have no rights at all!” he shouted at her.
Madison remains to compose, even though her entire body filled with sweat. She went on. “What are you planning to do with her?”
“You don’t deserve to know but die. Huh!” the prince grimace. “Like you are in good shape to fight me.”
“You are wrong. I only drank some— that is why I could still stand on my feet. Besides, what will be their reaction once they heard the disappearance of the future queen if I was here? Marivella doesn’t have a twin sister which I was looked like her mother.”
“Maybe I can profess that you kill her once we arrive in your kingdom, your highness?”
The prince grabs her on the shoulder and pinned her on the table. “I don’t care. Now tell me where did you hide her!”
“Can you not asked a lady nicely?” Madison does not afraid but taunts the prince even more. “Or it is your nature to do it roughly?”
Prince Yoo Joon peering at her with sharp gazes. “You are a piece of shit!”
“My… is this how coward the prince is?”
His grasp on Madison’s arms tightens. But they felt a strong explosion from the front bow of this ship that made prince Yoo Joon staggered toward on the corner of that cabin.
Now freed from the prince’s grips, Madison gathered all her strength and throw a hard punch on the prince’s face while something distracted him.
However, one punch is not enough to knock him to sleep. The prince poses to counter a blow on her, but she dodges it. She kicks him and the prince able to fend her leg. She quickly steps backward and poses to fight.
“You are fighting with the knowledge of modern Martial Art. Don’t tell me, you are from the future.”
“Like you, am I correct?”
“Impossible! Cassandra has no siblings!”
Stunned, the prince realizing he made a huge mistake for bursting out Cassandra’s name… with this; it does reveal his identity. Now, he cannot take it back or make an excuse.
