The Villainess Wants To Go Home novel Chapter 23

I was walking along the corridor looking for the training ground where the future knights and knights trained.

The reason why I'm heading that way because I need to borrow a cloak. Diana had no such thing in her closet, everything was dresses, corset, or shoes yet nothing to cover myself in the crowd.

I wanted to ask the staff, but I knew they would ask questions, scowl, and then notify the duke which I'm not risking it. You can't be too careful with people especially the ones that hate you. They really have things to say or do to make you in trouble.

The knights however in the mansion only care about getting stronger and getting a powerful dragon to ride. Never really cared what kind of dramas that occurred in the mansion. So, they might help me *cough cough* Diana.

Lilly and stella would snitch on me to Ariana and I don't want to deal with her anymore neither would I ask her for a cloak because then she will ask me to question me again but any way, I doubt she has a plain brown cloak like a commoner, she would definitely have a fancy one which I don't want because that would bring attention to me.

After I done that, I had gotten a cloak I will go to Ariana and receive me gold.

Finally reaching the training grounds I watched under the blazing sun how the men trained under the heat, sweat pouring down their foreheads as they collided their blades together some with wooden swords.

They were sure strong with their well-built bodies and fast. The author did state that knights from the Aurum empire were the strongest, people from far wide would make their way here to get trained by them, but I was obviously stronger and faster in a hundred different levels even with this weak body I'm able to take them down without using any blade just my bare hands. Once again thank you Hiroshi sensei.

I examined them one by one trying to look for one that would gladly let me borrow a cloak and maybe a bag. If they have one and willing to share.

Some of them were younger then 16 while other were older all had stern and masculine faces, from old to young, wrinkly to smooth nevertheless none looked like they would share their belongings with the used to be bad-tempered noble lady, Diana Glacies.

Why am I bothering with this when I can just steal a cloak? I'm the no.1 assassin of the 21st century with amazing sneaking skills, I can sneak in broad daylight and in the dark and never get caught why am I suddenly relying on people to get things for me.

'Seriously, this place has taken a toll on me'.

I hid in between the leaves of the tree, staring at a wide building that looked like an old asylum from my world, white walls, and a blue roof. It looked kind of old but still sturdy enough for a couple of hundred people to stay, eat and rest.

'Hmm so this is where the knights and guards stay.'

I looked towards the door, two knights stood guard, nodding every time a couple of men or a man walked out.

"Defiantly can't go through there" I whispered.

I searched for an opening. So many windows but which one.

I scanned some more when I spotted an open window in the furthest corner and my luck it was on the bottom level making it even more easy to sneak in.

"Bingo" I smirked.

I jumped down landing on the grass without making a single sound. Ninja skills.

Now all I have to do is alter my dress to my sneaking even more light.

I ran and hid behind a few bushes so no one can see me. I closed my eyes, feeling the earth beneath my feet, feeling for any presence nearby. A skill I learnt from Takashi Sensei; he was a master of listening to the earth and carefully listening closely for any sign of intruders or people.

When I didn't hear or feel any presence nearby, I started what I hid for.

I ripped the skirt clean off with my bare hands, yeah with my bare hands. Revealing the crinoline frame. I hated wearing this it just made my but look bigger.

I pulled it over my head and threw it in the bushes. Now I was bare feet with my undergarments. Taking the fabric of the skirt I wrapped it around my waist making a skirt but not a long or a short one but just the right size to sneak around. I looked down at my little heeled shoes. I didn't need to take them off, I can walk silently even with heels. I'm an assassin of course and assassin trained by master coming from families of modern-day ninjas.

I looked around and found a door behind me, no presence was felt in their so barged in, shutting the door behind me.

I glanced around to see wooden crates stacked up against each other. "This is defiantly the storage room" I mumbled.

"~The rooster wakes up one morning and goes cock a doodle doo~" I cringed at the horrible singing that was getting louder. "~Cock a doodle doo~" he was singing some awful child nursery rhyme. 'Dude, how old are you to be singing these songs. 5'

The guy stopped behind the door, and I immediately knew he was going to come in. Quickly making a run for cover, I leaped behind a bunch of crates quietly without making a sound.

The door swung open and in came the horrible singing man.

"~hmhmhmhmhm, the man goes to the cock and goes bark bark~" he sang as I heard his loud footsteps getting closer, I rose an eyebrow in confusion. 'Bark bark? When did a human bark at a rooster? Shouldn't that be a dogs job?'

He finally stopped his rusty and creaking singing. "No, I think that's the dogs line".

'No shit sherlock' I rolled my eyes.

"Now what was I here for" he was quiet for second, seemed like he was thinking.

"Oh, yeah. I need to get the flour for tonight's meal. ~hmhmh~" he hummed while his voice faded a little. I peeked a little to see where he went, and I saw his back side. He had messy brown hair and commoner style clothing of white top, long simple brown boots, and brown baggy pants.

He bent down and picked up a sack of flour before halting it over his shoulder and walking out as he whistled his dumb nursery rhyme.

'I never want to hear a man sing so horribly again. My ears are already bleeding'.
