Reincarnated in the Villainous Lust System!

Chapter 91: Catching up with Bella



"Why does he have to go? He\'s my guard". Damon protested.

Prince Juan made a show of looking around the bedroom.

"What do you need protection from?" He asked.

"That\'s not fair." Damon said. "Besides it doesn\'t matter, he\'s my guard and he stays".

I kept quiet and watched as they argued about me. Truth be told, I didn\'t mind leaving the room, it was exhausting boring and I could already think of what I would do with my free time.

"The chief of the royal gaurd is here and he will protect the two of us if necessary". Prince Juan said with a finality that showed there was no room for argument.

Damon sighed and looked at me apologetically.

I didn\'t need to be told twice, I jumped to feet and left the room hastily, grateful for my escape.

As I shut the door behind me, I didn\'t head to my room, instead I headed out the passage.

I had an old friend I wanted to visit.

I stepped out of the door to the wing and headed out the palace.

When I stepped into the common guardroom, I was greeted with the comforting aroma of food.

I went to the counter and sure enough, Bella was standing there, arranging dishes.

She stiffened as she saw me, then she continued arranging the dishes.

Undeterred, I walked up to the counter with a smile on my face.

"What are you doing here?" She asked with a roll of her eyes.

"I came for you actually". I replied.

She scoffed.

"Is there a reason why you\'re scoffing?" I asked her.

"I wonder". She replied sarcastically.

"Are you mad at me?" I asked even though I already knew the answer.

Bella scoffed again and said nothing in response.

I rubbed the back of my head guiltily. "Okay, I can tell you\'re mad at me, can I just know why?"

She still said nothing so I decided to try a tactic I had learned walked well on humans. The walkaway method.

I sighed dramatically and turned around then I started to walking off slowly.

Bella took the bait then. "Why have you ignored me all these while?"

I smirked. Her asking me the question meant she didn\'t want me to leave, which in turn meant she still wanted me.

Of course she did. Everyone did now.

I didn\'t turn around fully, I turned only my head and looked back at her.

"You know the answer already". I said to her. I\'ve been extremely busy.

She scoffed. "You weren\'t too busy that night".

"It was an anomaly". I replied. "Just like today is."

I turned back fully this time. "You were always on my mind, trust me. Training and guard duty has just been exhausting".

Bella pouted sympathetically. "I can see the shadows under your eyes".

I nodded dramatically. It was one of the things I had come to learn from women as I interacted with them, they gaslighted themselves for you.

It was hard to comprehend and even harder to explain but women somehow would look at scenerio you were obviously at fault and manage to convince themselves you weren\'t.

That only happened if they liked you however.

"The only reason I\'m free today is because I got promoted". I said.

Bella perked up. "You did?"

I nodded. "It\'s a long story but I\'ll tell you all about it later tonight".

Her lips pulled into a frown, the corners of her mouth turning down in a display of displeasure.

The lines around her eyes deepened, her brow furrowing as she stared at me with a look of distaste.

"Tonight". She repeated.

I nodded. "Yeah".

"We\'re not meeting tonight," she declared, her voice firm and unwavering.

Her words hung in the air like a challenge, the weight of their meaning heavy with her determination and resolve.

She allowed the silence to linger, letting the full impact of her decision sink in as she held her ground, her eyes meeting his with a look of finality.

There was no room for negotiation, no room for argument.

"Why not?" I asked in a whiny voice.

"You don\'t get to cast me to the side and just come back for me whenever you want". She replied. "Besides I\'m meeting someone tonight".

I smirked when I heard this. "Cancel it".

"Cancel what?"

"Your date tonight, cancel it and come meet me instead". I said.

She rolled her eyes. "You\'re crazy".

"Maybe". I replied. "But you\'ll do as I said".

I started to walk off. "I\'ll be here when the time is almost midnight, I expect you to be waiting for me".

"That won\'t happen". She yelled at me as I walked off.

****

It happened.

At midnight when Damon relived me of duty, I stepped out of the palace and headed to the common room.

I met Bella sitting on one of the carts near the door.

I smiled when I saw her, looking beautiful as ever, with her blonde hair shining in the pale moonlight.

"Look who made it". I said with a smile and offered her my hand.

She stared at me with slight anger but took the hand.

I pulled her up and yanked her towards me for an embrace.

The sudden movement shocked her and she gasped as her body collided with mine.

"What?" I smirked as she relaxed into my hold.

"Nothing". She said.

"I missed you". I whispered into her ear.

"Me too". She breathed back and I felt my member jerk up.

I tried to calm it down, it wasn\'t time yet.

I pulled away from the hug. "I have my own room now, come I\'ll show you".

"You do?" She asked, fairly surpised.

"Yes, it came with perks of the promotion". I said.

"You said you were going to tell me about it". She purred.

"I\'ll tell you on the way". I said and dragged her forward.

As we walked towards the palace I realized a fatal flaw in my plan.

The guards would probably not let a random girl enter the palace.
