The Villainess With No Happy Endings

Chapter Twenty-Two - The Regrets Of A Family

 It was a rather awkward situation I was in currently, sitting in a room with all the love interest and Erik. Eli was by my side and holding my arm tightly while looking up at me with worried eyes. Erik kept looking at me as well but would always look away when he realized I notice him looking. He wanted to say something to me but he was scared, he will always be scared.

"OMG! Why the fuck is the air in this room so awkward? It reminds me of that time where my parents caught me naked with an innocent maiden from a really important family. Well... She wasn't innocent anymore after what we did... Hehehe..." Drucilla was also in the room with us and she didn't really help at all with getting rid of the awkwardness... Why did she bring up something like that?

"Sometimes you really need to stop and think to yourself, should I be saying this? It will help you out so much." Everett entered the room pushing in a cart that was filled with drinks and sweets. He shot Drucilla a firm stare before he went to place a drink in front of me with a cake. He gave me a small smile when I picked up the drink he served me, it was hot chocolate.

"Also what did I tell you so many times, clean your sword after you use it! You are no longer a child who is using it for the first time. Do you know how hard it is to clean scabbard? You can't keep replacing it." Everett looked at Drucilla with an annoyed glare as he sat down next to her on the couch she was on and she just flipped him off with a smile on her face.

"Why are we still here? Shouldn't someone be coming to take us home soon?" Erik didn't try to be polite to the two adults in the room. He was untrusting to them and I really don't blame him, they still didn't tell him that they were family.

"Wow, this brat really looks like sissy husband. The eyes are kind of like her but that is where it stops. I really dislike that! He should look more like her than that stoic dick." Drucilla looked annoyed as she looked at Erik and Everett let out a hum in agreement. I could see that Erik was confused about what they were saying and look at me for a second before quickly looking away.

"We should introduce ourselves to you guys. We are from the Dallarose family. I am Everette and that idiot over there is my older sister Drucilla. We are the aunt and uncle of Aurelia and Erik. Due to reason, we can't allow you guys to go back home since the people who kidnapped you are still very much alive." I could feel Eli put his face into my arm when he heard that the people who kidnapped us were still lurking outside.

"Why should we trust your words and how do we know you aren't just lying by saying you are related to the she-demon!" Colton looked annoyed and he was glaring at me quite harshly. Even though I helped him escape he still couldn't let go of his childish hatred. He is so annoying and so short.

"We can prove what we are saying is very much true. We have secret messages from this group of people planning out this kidnapping. We also know that they are working for someone who is also causing trouble for us as well. And we have many pictures of Aurelia and Erik's mother when she was growing up." Everett didn't look concerned at what Colton said and calmly spoke with an indifferent expression.

"Now, now~ It is time for the little princes and Erik to head off to their room now! Me and my cute little stone face brother have to talk to Aurelia about something that is only for her ears." Drucilla got up from her seat and clapped her hands in front of her with a smile on her face. She looked at the males in the room and waited for them to get up as well.

Eli looked reluctant to leave my side but after I gave him a nod he decided to get up and head over to Drucilla. The other princes followed his lead with cautious expressions. The only person left sitting was Erik who didn't look like he wanted to get up at all.
