The Villainess Wants To Go Home

\~Spades P.O. V\~

The cloak figure placed his palm on the hard rocky surface feeling the coldness seep through his glove and to his skin. The motion of the ground felt uneven to the touch then it was on the left side of him.

"What do you feel Master? Does their presence still linger beneath the earth?" another cloak figure spoke from behind his white plain mask where the black eye sockets were the only features carved on.

The man rose up as his cloak met the ground beneath him. He scanned the surrounding of the cliff side, the tall trees that reached to the level of the cliff as their green leaves that only grew in the springtime of the years gently flowed with the rhythm of the wind and the small, shaped triangles of the mountains were seen in the far distance.

The man walked towards the edge of the cliff feeling the breeze light against his skin and the fragrance of the fresh green forest lightened his lungs at each inhale of the clean air he breathed in yet there was something faint and murky lingering within the scent of the forest and it trailed north.

It didn't sit right with him.

"Master?" another cloaked man called out to the superior who stood still, eyeing the far horizon in deep thought.

A huge gust of wind blew towards them pushing their hoods off their heads to reveal their hair.

The master whose brown oak coloured hair that danced in the wind smirked beneath his mask "It seems like our runaway noble is heading to Ventus"

\~Artemis POV\~

I trailed through the forest ground without making a single noise as I stepped with the sleeping fox tucked tightly within my arms. Stepping over moss covered stones making sure I wouldn't, I followed the sound of the distance stream.

Demarcus followed beside me. I could hear his soft breathing in my ear and the light stomps he took. I stole a side glance over to him and I realised how beautiful Demarcus was under the sun. He had dangerous looking horns growing out from the side of his head, there was spiky spines that grew out on the back of his head, but they were like hair slicked back and two little horns grew from the end of his chin.

He was a magnificent shade of gold that glowed whenever he went under the sun but what attracted me the most was those deadly emerald reptilian-like eyes of his that was focused on what was in front of us when he suddenly gave me a side glance. I wasn't ashamed of staring at him creepily that I didn't bother to turn my gaze away.

"Is there something matter, Artemis?" he spoke in a soft tone, his emerald eyes now glancing my way.

"You look very handsome Demarcus" I wanted to stretch my hand out and pat him but couldn't because of Homura in my arms.

I could tell by his softened eyes he was thankful for the compliment. "Thank you Artemis and you are one of the most beautiful human girls I have laid eyes on" Demarcus sounded genuine, but I already knew that Demarcus would never lie. Dragons don't lie, it's not in their nature to.

"I appreciate the compliment but this isn't my body so I can't take it as my own." This is Diana's body that I took over; she has the right to hear how beautiful she is not me. I felt my gut twist from guilt that I was hearing these sincere words from a dragon and not the fake words of her maids.

However, I wonder if Demarcus would have said the same thing if I was in my original body. Would he think I'm beautiful as well?

A sudden huff of warm air blew down at me startling me out of my thoughts. "I wasn't talking about Diana; I was talking about you"
