System: Seduce The Villainess

ARC 4.9

Edward's P.O.V

I'm now on my way a gala to celebrate finishing recording for season one.

I'm wearing a black tuxedo with a purple tie to match my eyes.

The gala was in the ballroom at the hotel everyone stayed in for recording.

It honestly looked like something from a romance novel.

I quickly spot Amelia in the crowd. Her black hair stood out in the crowd. As I get closer I see that she's wearing a plain black cocktail dress with emerald earrings to match her eyes.

"Hello miss Lilly."

I say politely. Since that day I haven't spoken to Amelia outside of recording.

"Hello."

Amelia replied.

"Have you thought about it?"

I ask to break the silence.

"Yeah."

"And your decision?"

I hold my breath.

"I agree."

As soon as I hear those words I squeal.

"Yay!"

Amelia chuckles at my ridiculousness. I awkwardly cough.

"May I have this dance, fair lady?"

I ask with a bow.

"You may."

Amelia says dramatically.

Once we start dancing, it feels like we're the only one's on the dance floor.

Is this what Cinderella felt like?

["Cinderella is a fictional character and therefore has no feelings."]

("You totally ruined the moment."(-_-)

I try to ignore Saturn and stay in this dream.

Unfortunately, my dream was cut short by the female lead's voice.

"Good evening everyone. You might not know who I am, but I have been causeing tons of trouble for the cast and crew. I would just like to say that I'm sorry. I don't know what overcame me, but I truly am sorry. I would like to propose a toast to the successful premiere of 'Forever In Love'!"

We all grab a drink and toast.

"Cheers!"

Maddie says before walking off the stage.

Everything is fine after that until Amelia comes up to me.

"Something's wrong, I feel....warm."

("It's the female lead right?!")

["Yes, she hired someone to drug the villainess while she gave the speech."]

("And why didn't you tell me about this?")

["You didn't ask."]

("I really want to hit you right now.")

["One, you can't hit a system. Two, why aren't you taking care of your girlfriend?"]

Saturn reminds me that I need to take care of Amelia. I take her to her room and put her in a bathtub full of cold water.

["You do realize what you need to do right?"]

("I'm only going to do that as a last resort.")

"Edward."

Amelia calls.

"Please...help me."

"Are you sure? There's no going back."

Amelia nods. I pick Amelia up and place her on her bed.

["I'm going to go offline."]

("Why should I be the only one to suffer? This is your fault anyway.")

[System has gone offline]

(-_-)

It's gonna be a long night.
