There were already a lot of people in the plaza de rinos when I got there. I had no one with me other than the two guards that mama had brought with me. I went to the very center of the plaza where there was a high stage that was actually made for use in hanging. I don't know how much blood has been spilled in this area as long as I know it's too much for the color of the blood to spread on stage. I looked around and noticed a crowd of people. I tried to peek at what was there and I realized it was the Royal family surrounded by royal guards. Here is the king and the four princes and three princesses. I suddenly stopped walking when Luke and I caught sight of each other and we stared for a few seconds. The heartbeat quickened especially when Luke suddenly stepped closer but he also suddenly stopped and looked away. I was suddenly bored with myself. i should be angry with him, I should be angry with the whole royal family but here I am now, greedy with a beating of the chest because of Luke's simple look.
alissa's POV
I slowly opened my eyes as I felt the dazzling sunlight meet my face. The weight I felt and I could feel the coldness of my body even though I was already wrapped in a thick blanket.
"Young miss Alissa?" I looked at the familiar woman who called me.
She's Lina, my personal maid. "Hmm?"
Lina looked at me almost with tears in her eyes. "You're finally awake"
I slowly got up and at the same time a towel suddenly fell from me. I looked at the towel before looking at Lina in surprise.
"Young Miss Alissa, you have a high fever, so I had to put a wet towel on her lately" I suddenly looked at Lina.
"Past days?" How long do I sleep?
"You fainted after kneeling in front of the palace young miss. And because of that, you lost consciousness and your fever was high for three days"
Gradually I came back and remembered what had happened. i remembered kneeling in front of the palace then suddenly i remembered why i did that.
"S-si papa, what happened while I was asleep?" I noticed that Lina's eyes were suddenly sad
"Sad to say young miss, but the hanging of General Knoxx continues.there were those who testified and gave proof that General Knoxx was planning to revolt. "
"That's bullshit! Father would never do such thing, he is very loyal on serving our country !It's obvious that they just framed up papa because they wanted to oust papa from office "I was held tightly by my blanket.
My father, General Knoxx. Is one of the greatest general of all time. he never loses a war against the enemies of our nation and he always puts the welfare of the people living here in the kingdom of Bauxacel first so the people have great respect for our family. but all that honor and success brings envy to other noble families.
"Didn't anyone help and tell the truth?" I asked Lina.
Our family has made many friends in the past. the Knoxx surname had a great influence especially on military power because we were of the race of generals.
"Many people want to help general knoxx, Young miss. But it's hard to fight the Royal family" said Lina who widened my eyes.
"Royal family ?they did it all? "I asked him.
I suddenly remembered Luke's last words. 'Stop it already, you can't do anything'
Is Luke also behind all this?
"No one knows young miss, But I have a strong suspicion that the king is afraid because of the size of the influence of the Knoxx family and he is afraid that at any time the throne could be taken from him so there is a good chance that he is the mastermind of all this "
I suddenly laughed to myself. To think that I knelt in front of the palace for three days to beg the king to help my father but he also turned out to be the mastermind of everything. How cruel. The king and the crown prince luke, doesn't deserve to be the ruler of this nation.
"ALISSA!" I almost jumped in panic when I heard mama's voice from the door.
"Ma" I smiled at him.
He ran towards me and hugged me tightly but I was suddenly surprised instead of happy because when I woke up mama suddenly cried.
I pulled away from her embrace and looked into her eyes that were now red and swollen and I was sure she had been crying before.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
Mama shook her head before smiling at me sadly. "Yung papa mo alissa, today is his execution"
I was suddenly stunned and tried to understand what mama said. I suddenly stood up and walked straight out of the room when mama suddenly stopped me.
I tried to pull my arm that mama was holding but she tightened her grip on me even more. "Let me go, I'll go save father myself"
"There's nothing right Alissa can do, this is the decision of the king himself" cried mama said.
I bit my lower lip. Lina was right, it was all the king's doing, and I wouldn't be surprised if she also conspired with Luke to refuse to help me.
"Then I'll just kill him" I said even though I knew in myself that my ability was weak and I had no opponent against the thousands of guards protecting the royal family.
"Alissa" mama pulled me up and held me in both arms. "Promise me you won't do anything stupid"
I didn't say anything, I couldn't promise him that I would do nothing and just watch them kill papa who did nothing wrong.
"Alissa" mama called again. "Please, if you find out, maybe I'll lose you too"
I pressed my bite to the lip before I slowly looked back at mama. "Promise me, you won't do anything"
"I can't just let him die" I said. My tears are already forming.
"me neither, but we can't do anything now. It's too late" Mama hugged me tightly. "Even your dad's friends in high positions didn't do anything ... So please Alissa, I don't want to lose you too"
I buried my face in mama's chest and nodded. I won't do anything ... for now.
"The execution will happen in two hours in the middle of the plaza ..."my hand went numb when I heard where the execution would take place. In Plaza De Rinos, the execution of those accused of treason is often carried out where the whole town can watch the execution.
"I'll go" I said before parting with mama. I want to see the events in person. I want to see who are the people who have the courage to watch papa be executed without feeling guilty.
Mom sighed. "Alright, but I can't be with youI can't see the events "
I nodded to him before entering the cr to take a shower and get dressed. When I came out, I saw my idiot mama still in my room while sitting on my bed.
I approached mama and said goodbye before hugging her tightly. and I had no idea, that that was our last meeting.
"I'm gonna show you that a side character can be the main character too."–Herabella Venturi "I beg your pardon?" “You want me to what?!” I asked aloud what a God had said to me. Is he serious right now? “You want me to save… the villainess?” "Over and over again? Do you want me to repeat? Save Princess Melusine Ondine, try not to let her die. ” I slapped his forehead and held him on his shoulder. “Look here God… whoever you are. What you are requesting of me is very impossible to happen. ” Where I said to him. “Well that’s why- “Do you want to break the flow of the story? We are in a novel, a very famous book.

Ah yes, some random God reincarnated me as a side character to save a villain.
I gulped then I looked in his lips back to his eyes. "W-what if I let someone touched me?" I boldly question. I just want to see what he's reaction will be. His eyes darkened. There's no shining ruby ​​colored in his eyes outline but only dark red which makes me stilled in my spot. I sighed as he held my hip tightly close to him. Our body collided and it create a very weird impact. That makes my heart react. "I'm going to take you before he can even tear your clothes off. And that ever happened my Princess. Your eyes will roll in pure ecstasy and your body will weakens in infinite rounds My Princess," I was devastated again when I heard his captivating voice. There was something in him that makes me really affected. The way he said those words. I can feel something in me was burning with unfamiliar feelings but one thing was sure. My body was responding to him.
