Voyage Of The Villainess

Chapter 219 - Volume 6.28 Part Of A Web (3)

It had been an hour now since Hyun Jae was waiting in the living room while Dorris started to cook. She couldn't help but slumped her head on the table. Her eyes looked quite tired. Well, she woke earlier in the day. And things were quite hectic added to the disappearance of Malaya.

'If it is her, she will be fine. I always believe that. But she lost her memory right now.' Hyun Jae sighed for an umpteenth time. 'Just where are you right now, Malaya. You really have a habit of disappearing.'

While deep in her thoughts, someone suddenly held her right shoulder. Hyun Jae thought that it was just Dorris.

"Dorris, are you done cooking? I can help arrange the dishes..." However, when Hyun Jae turned around, her eyes widened, completely horrified.

"Ahh!" 

She immediately stood up, just in time to catch Malaya in her arm. She was severely injured and had burn wounds. "Hyun Jae, please help those two first," Malaya said with much difficulty.

That was when Hyun Jae noticed the other two people with Malaya who were more injured than her. 

"I'm fine, Hyun Jae," Malaya said as she slumped on the ground. "I have drunk some healing potion, you can heal me after them."

Hyun Jae clenched her fist, as she immediately went to the two people who were with Malaya. She held both of their hands and started healing them.

"Hyun Jae! What happened?!" It was Dorris who came running out from the kitchen after she heard Hyun Jae's scream.

"Lady Malaya!" Her face was horrified as well when she saw Malaya on the ground with severe wounds. Then Hyun Jae was healing another two people who were in such a worse condition than Malaya.

She immediately ran back to the kitchen and grabbed a pale of water and a towel. Then she hurriedly ran back towards Malaya. Malaya drank another healing potion, but strangely the burns she received were slowly healing.

"Milady, what happened?!" Dorris immediately ran to Malaya's side. And dipped the towel in the water. Then she twisted the towel, to drip water to Malaya's burn on her right arm. While it was slowly healing due to the effects of the potion.

"I think I met the people behind the self-destruction incident," Malaya said.

Hearing this, Dorris' eyes widened. "Milady, are your memories back now?" Dorris said with teary eyes.

"Yes," Malaya said. "Sorry that I made all of you worry again." 

"Milady!" Dorris threw herself into Malaya's embrace. "I'm glad your memories are back now. I'm so afraid that you will forget about us forever."

Malaya flinched when some of her wounds were pressed due to the sudden hug. "Do-rris," she croaked.

Dorris realized her mistake, and immediately released Malaya from her hug. "Ah! I'm sorry Milady!" 

Malaya just sighed. "It's alright. I'm happy to see you again, Dorris." 

"Ehem." Both of them stared at Hyun Jae who was now standing in front of them.

"They are already fine," Hyun Jae said. Malaya looked at Lamar and Dandras, and as Hyun Jae said, other than their tattered clothing, none of their burns remained.

'She healed them this fast,' a relieved smile escaped Malaya's lips. 'Hyun Jae has gotten stronger now.'

"I'll heal you now." Hyun Jae as she grabbed Malaya's right arm that had wound. Malaya flinched when Hyun Jae pressed the wound harder.

"Ah-Hyun Jae, it's a little hur..." Malaya paused when she saw Hyun Jae releasing some menacing aura. She seemed completely angry about something. And Malaya knew instinctively that the cause of that anger was her. She remained quiet when Hyun Jae started the healing process.

"Dorris, the food you are cooking." Dorris' stupor was cut off as well with Hyun Jae reminding her that she was still in the middle of the cooking. She immediately ran towards the kitchen, leaving Malaya and Hyun Jae alone.

The air was filled with an awkward silence. But Hyun Jae broke it first.

"I will not ask you why you disappear after you regain your memory. But why do you always need to do these things?"

"I just need some time to think," Malaya said with a sigh. "I'm planning to come back after a day or so."

"Then at least you should have left a note, so that you regain your memory." Hyun Jae sighed as she finally let go of Malaya. Malaya was now completely healed. 

"I'm sorry," Malaya said. "I acted without thinking again."

Hyun Jae sighed again. "I thought you're more mature than this, Malaya. I hope none of these will happen again."

Malaya smiled helplessly. 'Hyun Jae has grown more mature now as well.'

"So you are finally back?" 

Both of them turned to see Iris entering from the entrance door. 

"Yow, Iris." Malaya raised her hand. However, Iris walked fast to her and smacked her head. 

"Ouch!" Malaya rubbed her head.

"So you're memory is back now." Iris sighed. "And you let me walk to that hot desert just look after you. Then when I reached far away in the desert, my moth, suddenly started to revert back here."

Malaya braced herself for another sermon. However, Iris simply walked up the stairs up to the second floor. "I want to take some nice cool bath right now. I'll talk to you later." She said leaving the two alone again. 

Hyun Jae helped Malaya to stand up. "Now, only Kayden is not here." 

"Ah right, he was looking after me," Malaya said as she looked down. She remembered how eager she teleported away from him. This made her quite nervous now. Then her hand started to unconsciously go to the talisman to her bag.

Hyun Jae immediately saw this and grabbed Malaya's bag away from her. "I'll be confiscating this for now."

"Eh," Malaya was surprised by this. However, seeing Hyun Jae's menacing aura, she kept her qualms inside her. Then Hyun Jae started pushing her upstairs as well. 

"Now that you are patched up. Go get new clothes in your room. I'll prepare your bath as well." 

However, the two stopped when another person that they expected to come, arrived. It was no other than Kayden.

Both Malaya and his gaze met. And the air once again was filled with awkward silence.

"Kayden, you're back!" Hyun Jae said, breaking the silence again. "Malaya has come back and her memories have returned now."

Kayden remained expressionless as he looked at Malaya. However, he simply turned around and left without saying anything to her.

Malaya tried to call him, however, she stopped herself from doing so. 'He is probably very angry with me right now.' She clenched her fist. 'And I can't blame him for that. I deserve to incur his wrath for being such a coward.'

"I'll go get new clothes now," Malaya said as she climbed upstairs. Seeing this, Hyun Jae sighed then her line of sight turned towards the two unconscious men Malaya brought. 'Ah, we completely forgot about them. I'll just ask Dorris to help me teleport them to the vacant room here.'

---⚓⚓⚓---

The sun has finally set, when the first person to gain consciousness was Dandras. He immediately sat and checked his body for injuries and burns. However not only had his clothes changed but there was not a single trace of burns and wounds in his body.

He remembered Lamar, however to his relief, Lamar was lying beside him. And his clothes had already been changed and there was no sight of wounds and burns on him.

Lamar slowly opened his eyes.

"Lamar," Dandras called out to him.

"Dandras,"

"Yes, it is me."

Lamar sat up as well and clutched his head. As he observed his surroundings, they were completely in an unfamiliar place. "Where are we?" He asked.

"That is what I still don't know."

The two were immediately alerted when the door suddenly opened. Dandras immediately defended Lamar behind him. 

"Oh, both of you are awake now." It was no other than Dorris. "You don't have to be wary of me. I'm one of the servants, serving under Lady Malaya."

Hearing Malaya's name, Dandras finally let his guard down. "Is she the one who brought us here?"

"Yes,"

"Who is Lady Malaya?" Lamar asked. His expression held complete confusion.

"Ah right, you lost consciousness when she met with us. She is the one who saved us from the scorpions and saved us again from those masked people. We owe our lives completely to her now."

"Since both of you are awake, may I ask you to join us for dinner?" Dorris asked.

"Can we really?" Dandras asked, a bit embarrassed. They already owe so much to Lady Malaya and they were still asked to eat with them.

"It's alright. Dorris has prepared quite a feast for that idiot's coming back." 

The three of them turned to Iris who had a scowl on her face. "And there are some things we want to talk about with you with the issue regarding the capital." Then she walked out without hearing their response.

"That's Iris. Lady Malaya's trusted friend. She has quite an attitude but she is a good person." Dorris said seeing both Dandras and Lamar in a daze.

"Ah, it's alright, we don't mind!" Both the two said simultaneously.

"If you may, I'll guide you now to the dining area," Dorris said with a polite smile on her face.
