Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess 333 Agatha 31

It was now witching hours of the night. The moon hanging up high in the sky began to hide through the canopy of the mini-forest in this part of the city. Just a couple more hours and the sun would rise to dawn a new day.

Together with Jiang Li, Margarette was trekking a ragged path, once again hiding her appearance through a thick brown cloak. 

In front of them was a woman flunked by two other hooded individuals. They were acting as guides so they would not be lost in the woods.

Margarette's expression was not that good actually as the royal consort kept giving Jiang Li a glance. The frown was present and could not be erased, not even if the stolen glances that making her annoyed were full of nothing but fear and apprehension.

On the fifth time Agatha stole a glance at Jiang Li, Margarette could no longer stand it. "Stop looking back, old hag." Her voice that was laced with frost revealed her hostility. 

"Old hag?" The one receiving the hostility was startled. Her fearful gaze turned placid, s.h.i.+fting from the youth called James, to the girl next to him called 'Maggie'. What did the girl call her again? 

Agatha, the hooded woman walking in front, barely managed to suppress rage from emerging on her face. 

The villainess was actually not feeling well since this afternoon and she knew it was because of the retaliation of the youth for her disobedience. Even now, underneath her long black robe, she was heavily sweating and shaking from the ever-present pain in her feet. Every step was laborious, akin to the stepping in a sea of needles. Her fear and vigilance of the youth was due to what he did earlier.

Before she got called names by the girl, her mind was on everything that took place almost half an hour ago, the reason why she was doing her best to restrain her temper.

The coven meeting was already over and she, together with her two bodyguards, was guiding the two out of the maze-like forest.

However earlier at the meeting, she secretly pulled up one of the most powerful members of the coven in one corner to ask for help and instigate an attack against the trespa.s.sers. Yet, Jiang Li suddenly appeared next to her, mockingly watching them. They didn't notice his arrival and didn't know when he had started listening to them. If the old witch didn't turn her head to face her, they wouldn't know he was there. When they did notice him, not only her, but even the old witch was scared sh*tless. 

"Planning to attack me?" Back then, he asked with a weird smile that had traces of amus.e.m.e.nt.

On the next second, they saw everyone tumbling down and lying motionless on the floor. Everyone was awake, yet none of them could move. That was when they discovered all the people who had been secretly exchanging signals to attack him had been poisoned, apart from the leader, and of course, the lady sitting next to him.

The twelve poisoned partic.i.p.ants, including the old witch and the villainess, felt despair because even the strongest under the leader had not escaped. The poison spread without even the leader noticing. And they were only cured after the lady beside the youth told him she still wanted to listen to their discussion.

As the memory brought her back to that part, Agatha tried her best to calm her mind and gave the girl who just spoke a good look.

Although she was very much offended earlier, it was a fact that this 'Maggie' had saved many from the youth. This was why she reminded herself to back her arrogance and be more polite. She said in a sweet but chastising tone, "Miss. I acknowledged that you saved us back then, but I still don't think you should speak to someone older than you like that… Remember, the Holon Kingdom citizens are known for their exemplary att.i.tude towards those older than them."

She said that with a smile, even though beads of sweat were all over her face. As long as she was walking or standing, there would be no bloodshed. But the pain of being stabbed by thousands of needles would always haunt her.

"Hmm?" The night was already eerie, but now the atmosphere was tenser. The girl's expression was very icy after listening to Agatha's speech. She continued, "Old hag, I haven't even started showing you how sharp my tongue could be. In fact, I was being polite when I told you what you should stop doing. Yet, you're lecturing me?"

"Miss. I was merely saying you should know how to respect people and be more polite with your words. I don't know why you're taking this negatively," Agatha maintained her warm smile towards the rude girl. 

Seeing her behavior, one of the witch's escorts b.u.t.ted in. "Her Highness words made sense, Miss Maggie. It's you who are suddenly picking a fight and being unreasonable."

"I'm being what? Unreasonable?" Her eyes scared the other witch who spoke.

Narrowing her eyes, the girl asked again, "Hey. I'm really annoyed. What's wrong with me hating the fact that a dirty pair of eyes keep frequently stealing glances at my husband? Should I keep quiet, even though my anger is making me feel like killing her already?"

Margarette kept glaring at the other woman, keeping the cold smile on her face.

Truth be told, Agatha now wanted to do the same, had it not been for her current condition and the latest event. At this point, she was still not aware that it was this girl who made her lie in bed for a week due to bowel problems. Nonetheless, that did not dampen her desire to rip the girl's mouth

h. She hated being talked back to, especially after she made an effort to be civil. She would have long ordered her companions to detain and torture the girl… if not for Jiang Li's presence around. Why was he not putting a rein on the girl? 

"Miss Maggie, I really don't know why you're suddenly acting like this to me. All I want to say is it's not polite to name names to somebody my age," she could only reply, finally hinting about what had started the argument.

"I see..." Margarette coldly laughed. 

'What's with this little lunatic?' The villainess was irritated by the expression of the girl.

While Agatha was once again annoyed by the fact that she had to control herself despite the anger in her heart, the young man was also eyeing her with a cold expression. He was next to Margarette, with no intention to side with Agatha.

Jiang Li knew that it was his wife making trouble out of unfounded jealousy, but his opinion of the villainess dropped a lot after what she did to the maid, so he kept his silence. 

To be honest, had the woman just been obedient, he would even be kind enough to remind her never to argue with Margarette… But now…

He only laughed when the princess suddenly went forward, grabbed Agatha by the collar, and slammed her on the ground. The latter was surprised, letting out a yelp and a moan of pain.

"What do you think are you doing!?" Enraged, the two other witches tried to detain the girl. But then, they found that they couldn't move. Their hearts froze, eyes sweeping towards the youth who could only be the culprit. "Sir?" Jiang Li indifferently met their gazes and shrugged. 

"Old hag." Margarette's voice echoed after the loud violent noise made by the tree trunk's contact with Agatha's back. The girl was coldly looking at the villainess while her hand was on the other's neck.  

"For somebody with no morals to lecture me, I found it very displeasing. Even if you work your whole life to impress you, you won't ever earn my respect. So don't ever talk about it before, alright? And most importantly, don't ever look him in the eyes, hmm? You know, the next time you do, I'll help you remove them from you."

As usual, she did not raise her voice. Yet her words could strike fear in the hearts of those around.

Was the world blind for not giving her the villainess' role?

The real villainess had recovered from her stunned state and began to struggle from the hand of the girl. It had always been a rule that villains would never fail to rescue themselves from leads and would be equally unkillable until the end of the story. So despite the iron-like grip on her neck, she was able to escape from the real female lead of Holon.

"Little b*tch!" After staggering several steps back, distancing herself from the female lead, a coa.r.s.e language accidentally spilled from Agatha's mouth due to anger. "You lowly woman! How dare you threaten me, this kingdom's most distinguished lady! Someone, cut her hand for me! No, kill her for me!"
