Sincerely, The Villainess (Dropped)

Chapter 10

This ordinarily maid placed me down just outside the Dukedom's library with hesitation. The maid did not tremble nor looked shaken.

She was just simply hesitant.

Well, that was to be expected since I never once have acted like this. Starting today I would like rumors such as a 'disobedient' daughter would spread. I wouldn't want to be a...

Goody Two Shoes

Just thinking of the mere word made me grit my teeth. How pitying I was- that aside, I wanted to look into Economical books. It wasn't specifically for me turning into a villainess but instead I wanted to help the Dukedom.

When I was betrothed to prince Liam, I had heard Duchess had been living lavishly, the Duke was focused on work and to my surprise the Dukedom had been gaining great prestigious. Well, that idol like life could only lead to downfall.

The Palace was overshadowed.

I had predicted that it would be in such situation and the only defense the Duke could make was "because my daughter is a fiancé of a royal" as despicable as can be when I died the dukedom would probably have been now the so called a disgraced noble.

This might seem cheating but, I will need to borrow one of a genius's creation. Mainly in fashion. Queen of Etheledo Kingdom was economically influential she had years of stylish fashion. This would probably be a big hit to women from all status.

Leather for fashion, mainly a corset for the slimming body figure.

I was lost in thought- for when it comes to fashion I do not want to hold back. This is my pride! I sat down the wooden chair where no one would really notice, took a couple of glances around and browsed into the book. I had changed my mind and found myself being curious about a magic book. A grimoire to be precise.

Before having a clear look at the second page I heard footsteps gradually coming closer. Who, might it be... I noticed that the steps were quite little and took a while to reach me, he was a little boy probably just around my age... who was this!? In my past life I've never met this person. Was it because I chose to go to the library than study? – before I knew it, I instinctively hid behind the tall book shelf. While peeking slightly at the boy I quietly tip toed around just to arrive near the exit.

Luckily that boy was around my age and did not notice me, the boy had silver hair.

Eh? Who was I thinking about... I somehow felt sad and lonely, I did not know why but I was sure it was someone I had little fun with.

"my lady! Where have you been"

Aine ran forward shouting, I had to act villainous... but I couldn't to Aine. I was still far soft and held back. I made the decision to just act as is when it comes to Aine I shouldn't hold back.

"Aine! I don't want to study can I just take a stroll outside..."

"but my lady"

"please"

With cute little eyes of course Aine would fall for it, Aine wasn't that strict anyways. I see her bite her upper lip as if trying to stop herself from blurting out a 'ok' It must be so much of a frustration for her. I then hug Aine as if letting all my strength drown.

"...fine"

Hah! She fell from it, I somehow taught I was actually fit for this. I could play the bad role here. After a long stroll that led to not doing studying at all I was called to dine with the Duke and Duchess. There were none of this occasion in my past life. Perhaps were they concerned about my sudden change; it was just for one day though. The maid with a bob cut opened the door to my room with clothes on her palms, I had wondered if I was going to a banquet- they're taking this quite far.

"your name"

"it is... Leni my lady"

A hesitant response also, she must be new to the Dukedom. It was a possibility since I did not interact with maids that much. I wore a Lolita high waist skirt colored in blue and a normal long sleeved white shirt. I went right to East building of the Dukedom; I was that far away from the main building. The duchess whom wore not such extravagance and the Duke with a lightly brown tuxedo.

Just seeing their faces made me infuriate, I did not say anything and just straightly went to a seat.

"I'm hungry let's eat"

It was like I could read 'outrageous' on their faces. The maids lined up by side was appalled as they looked down the shining floor. But still... I wondered why they suddenly called me to the main building.
