The Villainess From My Favorite Manga!

Chapter 1 - Yveria De Bellany

A flaming-red hair flowing like a beautiful river. 

Sharp eyes that would make even the gods feel intimidated.

A beautiful face, more majestic than those who paid the devil to have them.

Yveria De Bellany — The first daughter and the only offspring of the Bellany Duke Family.

Although she was blessed with the appearance and intelligence none have seen for centuries, it inevitably took something more important away from her. 

Magic

Magic in this world is ranked from 1 to 10 and for the first time in history, Yvelia only had a magical power of 0.5 — the lowest history has ever recorded.

Due to this misfortune, she lost the battle for the throne. Beaten by a common noble that had but a magical power of 9 but also a beautiful face, though not higher than Yveria. 

Then...

Why did it come to this??!

The last thing I remembered was binging all the 20 volumes of the "Talent Over Beauty" manga, why did I become the antagonist of the story?!

"Milady, are you okay?" A maid behind me asked worryingly as I turned around, still somewhat confused and asked, "Do you know my magical power?" I asked.

"Ah... I..." The maid was afraid.

Of course,  I remembered Yveria banning the mentioning of her lacking talent. So that must mean I'm already on volume 2, where my magical power has become widely known and my role as a villainess begins.

But I must make sure that I'm right...

"Then... do you know of a girl who has a magical power of 9?" I asked but the maid was beginning to be afraid. I'm sure that she was not ready for such a dangerous choice, I'm so sorry about this. (TvT)

Although looking at her expression, it must mean that the main protagonist has appeared and volume 2 has already started. 

Volume 1 only showed the appearance of Yveria, showing how beautiful and smart she is. We thought at first that she was the protagonist when we saw the last chapter as everything went downhill and the appearance of a girl with blonde hair appeared with the magical power of 9.

The perspective of the story changed entirely as it went from Yveria to the true protagonist — Belle Caste.

A woman of noble birth, yet commoner in ways. Her family has the lowest noble rank of a baron, yet her beauty began to attract even the prince and the other male leads that appeared in the story.

In the end, Yveria was stripped of her title of "Duchess" and became a commoner with no home. While Belle married Yveria's Ex-Fiance — The first prince, Markos Light.

"This is troublesome... if I follow the story, I'd be thrown to the streets..." I muttered as I could only get mad at Yveria who threw her responsibilities away from me!

"Okay... I've decided." I muttered as I ordered the maid to buy me some things that would be useful later.

"Are you sure, milady? This theme is still undeveloped, not one has studied this for centuries!" The maid gave quite a warning, of course, she will warn Yveria for practicing a theme no one wanted for centuries.

But that was a problem of the previous Yveria, not me! 

"I'm sure... go get them for me." I said.

"Y-yes, milady!" The maid bowed before leaving as she went in a hurry. I sat in my bed as the thoughts in my mind have all agreed with this decision of mine using my knowledge of the manga.

Theme or Thema is what you call a subject in which a person dedicates his/her life towards. Every mage has a mission to study magic and thus they are the same as a scholar.

The most common Thema that people usually study is the elements, which 80% of the citizens study because of its simplicity but there are other unique Thema that are expensive/rare/inherited that makes them unique.

The Thema that I'm about to get is a subject no one has studied for a long time, so it became underdeveloped and those who dared to try it lost a hand or lost their life; because that is the consequences of stepping in the dark.

If you were to try something you know nothing of, be prepared for the consequences.

Thanks to the fact that I've read the entire novel, the Thema which became the strongest is all inside my mind — The Thema: Summoning!

"Milady, I have brought everything you asked for!" The maid showed up to me, who was already in my sleeping wear. 

I became serious for a moment since this is the first time I tried magic, so it feels foreign, "Did you keep it a secret?" I asked the maid.

"Yes, I did! I made sure no one knew me when I bought it!" She answered.

I smiled, somewhat relieved that it may bring trouble once everyone knows the Weakest  Mage is studying the Hardest Thema, "Good Job... Joy is it?" I asked.

"Y-yes,  milady! Thank you for remembering my name!" She was bowing somewhat flustered as I remembered that nobles usually don't try to remember their servants' names because they were like sardines in a can, too many to remember.

"I see... Joy. From now on, you will become my noble maid. Your salary will be tripled and move your little sister here inside the mansion as my esteemed guest." I proposed.

I looked at Joy as her eyes became somewhat watery as I saw her tears flow out her eyes. I thought I remembered her wrong as I ran towards her and tried to comfort her, "Did I say something wrong?" I asked worriedly.

"N-no... I never knew this day would come. Thank you, your highness, I will not forgive the debt you gave me!" She started to kneel in front of me as even I was shocked by the sudden progression.

I remembered Joy from the story, the only maid that ever stood by Yvaria's side. She was a maid that never came on top because of Yvaris' blind for revenge, she didn't see the people who wanted to support her.

She was last seen on Volume 15 because of her sister's death, she suddenly disappeared and was never seen again.

I touched her hair and tried to comfort her and said, "Thank you for being here with me. I have never once forgotten your presence beside me." I told her as she was present even in Yveria's birth at the small age of 10, where she began working in the Bellany Family.

"Then... can you stand guard outside my door? I don't want anyone to interrupt me." I told Joy as she looked at me seriously, with bits of tears hanging at the edge of her eyes.

"Please be careful milady. I want to stop you but I don't have the power, but I will believe in you! Please do shout if you are in trouble, I will help you quickly!" She said as I nodded and smiled to her sweet sentiment.

... Now, let's begin the start of my new life.
