The Villianess story: A 100 ways to kill your husband-Chapter 433: A love story that ended before it started

Abrielle thought it would have been more difficult to convince the local seer to help them, but it was easier than expected. Roselia was able to convince him with a few words, and the small family was going through a financial crisis, which made the offer feel like a breakthrough for them.

Litoralia was a coastal town with ports scattered almost everywhere, including one in the nearby town. To avoid being seen, Abrielle gave Roselia’s father one of her jewellery pieces, which he took to a pawn shop to exchange for the local currency since Abrielle didn’t have any on hand.

After getting the money, he was able to purchase tickets for the earliest ship to the continent of Zeravon, where Heliosa was located far from Tharexia, where Dacronia and Litoralia were situated. The two continents were separated by a vast ocean.

Many preparations were made for their departure. Roselia’s father was even considerate enough to convert some coins for them to use during the journey and get new clothes to help them blend in with the style of Zeravon.

Similar to Dacronia, which was the largest kingdom occupying over half of the Tharexia continent, Heliosa held a similar position, ruling almost the entire continent of Zeravon.

Close to dawn, the group began their journey. It would be a long trip from the forest to the port, taking several hours. To reach the port on time without drawing attention, their horses were sold and replaced with a wagon. The wagon, driven by the local seer and Axel, provided a more discreet and comfortable method of travel for Cedric, given his condition.

When the time to leave arrived, Elias was thanking Roselia for convincing her father while everyone else was boarding the wagon. They stood a bit close to the door.

"Thank you for the help. I hope I’ll be able to repay you one day," he said, and she smiled softly at him.

Her eyes lingered on the small group preparing to depart.

"I did it mostly for the gold... and because I could see you weren’t dangerous. I wish you a safe journey to Heliosa," she replied. The door behind them slowly opened, and her father stepped out.

He looked a bit tired from staying up all night preparing for their journey.

"I’m about to set out, Rose. Be careful while I’m gone," he informed her, then covered his head with his hat.

"I will, Father. See you in the morning. And make sure to get some bread from town," she said as she bid him farewell. Her father gave both her and Elias a lingering look before walking off toward the wagon.

"Thank you once again," Elias said, about to leave when he felt a soft tug on his sleeve. He turned to face her. Roselia quickly pulled her hand back, a little nervous.

"I just wanted to tell you something about your future. It was a glimpse, not very clear, but you might consider it a warning," she explained.

Elias nodded, and she continued.

"I see regret ahead of you. This journey might not end the way you imagine. You’ll regret not saying what was on your heart when you had the chance, and not seizing the moment. Once your heart is certain don’t hide it. It’s better to die with closure than never knowing how she felt," Roselia said, leaving Elias baffled.

"What do you mean? Am I going to die?" he asked her. She shook her head, smiled softly, and gracefully turned to enter her small cottage.

"The way the story unfolds depends on how you let your fate go," she said before closing the door behind her.

Roselia leaned against the door, her heart finally free of the weight that had pressed against her chest. A single tear rolled down her cheek, and she quickly wiped it away.

Why was she sad for a man she barely knew?

Their story hadn’t even begun, and she hoped it never would.

"I hope you find your perfect end," she muttered.

Last night, when she saw Elias at her door, she was stunned. It was exactly like her visions.

He had appeared at her door asking for help, and she fell for him at first sight. That was how the vision had gone. After a long while, they would part ways and eventually meet again in the distant future where their fates were tangled together.

But it wasn’t the love story she dreamed of. It was a one-sided love story. She was the only one who loved him. Elias had someone in his heart whom he had lost because he never confessed his feelings. She was doing him a favour by giving up on an unrequited love that hadn’t even begun and changing her fate for his happiness.

She only hoped he understood her message and found a better ending this time.

The wagon wheels rolled along the forest path and eventually entered town. The group was cloaked and seated quietly in the wooden wagon. A single lantern lit their way. The local seer controlled the horse, with Axel seated beside him at the front.

Abrielle’s fingers were intertwined with Cedric’s, her eyes heavy with sleep but still awake. They sat quietly beside each other until they arrived at the port. It was a small one, not very busy, with only a few merchants boarding and unloading goods.

Roselia’s father left the wagon to confirm the ship’s readiness before returning.

"Everything is ready. The journey will take close to 2 weeks," he informed them, then pulled out a letter.

Abrielle accepted the letter from him.

"This is to my master in Heliosa. She’ll be of more help with his condition," he said.

"Thank you," Abrielle replied. She felt Cedric’s grip tighten. She also noticed the look on Roselia’s father’s face. He doubted Cedric would survive the voyage.

"It’s nothing. I’ve already sent word to her, so hopefully it arrives before you do. Good luck," he said, stepping back as they boarded the ship bound for Heliosa.
