The Hero Is My Villain

KABANATA 1

Kabanata 1.

The Archduke's family is known for being villainous for eyeing the throne for so long. I am a part of that family, and that's the truth. My father is the older brother of the current king.

We are a part of the royal family.
 
When the former king died. The one he crowned as the new king was his youngest son. My father, the older son, did not make it. However, his younger brother spared his life, and he is benevolent enough to bestow the title of "Archduke ''on his older brother.
 
That's the end of the power struggle inside the castle. The Azovian Kingdom has gained a new and capable king.

But I know the war is coming again. Between my father and his younger brother, the king.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror. Why did I become like this? I wonder. All I can see in front of me is a face full of coldness and indifference.

Inaayos ng katulong ang aking kulay platinum-blonde na buhok. Today is my 20th birthday at kailangan ko ngayong pumunta sa may banquet hall kung saan ginaganap ang aking kaarawan.

"Young lady, it's done."

Tumayo na ako nang marinig ko ang sinabi ng aking personal maid. Nakasuot ako ng isang red-glittered fitted dress. Ito ang inihanda ni Dad para sa akin.

Kilala ang pamilya namin bilang isang notorius villainous family. Marami na kaming nagawang kasalanan sa mga tao sa kingdom. My father is a corrupt and greedy person. My brother is a ruthless knight who loves to abuse his power to pick on the weak. As for me, I am known for being a cold-hearted person who sees people as trash. There's a rumor that I have the hobby of torturing my maids and attendants.

Hindi ko iyon ipagkakaila. I am really a villainess. Lumaki akong spoiled at nakatatak sa utak ko na lahat ng tao ay mas mababa sa akin. Pwede ko silang tapak-tapakan kahit na anong oras ko gustuhin at walang pwedeng makapigil sa akin.

My heart is already rotten to the core. Sa lahat ng maling nagawa ko, hindi ako nakaramdam ng kahit na katiting na guilty. For me, my actions are justified.

Maraming mga noble families ang mailap sa amin. Wala silang magagawa dahil si Dad ay kapatid ng hari. Kahit ilang beses pa silang magreklamo ay wala silang magagawa dahil hindi pinapakialaman ng hari ang mga bagay na ginagawa ng aming pamilya.

Kaya naman nagagawa namin ang gusto namin.

Tumigil ako sa malaking pinto ng makarating ako. Hindi ako nagsalita at tumitig lang ako sa papabukas na double doors.

"Princess Thanariazha Ashenry Dravovien is entering!" malakas na sigaw ng knight na nasa gilid.

Humakbang ako at walang emosyon na naglakad patungo sa unahan. Hindi ko pinansin ang mga matang nakatingin sa akin.

Maraming mga noble family ang nakatanggap ng aking imbitasyon at kahit ayaw nilang pumunta sa aking banquet ay wala silang magagawa. Hindi nila pwedeng tanggihan ang imbitasyon ng archduke family.

Sa totoo lang, wala akong pake kahit walang pumunta sa banquet na ito. Mas gugustuhin ko iyon dahil makakapagpahinga ako ng maaga at hindi ko na kailangan tumayo ng matagal dito ng walang ginagawa.

Nang makarating ako sa unahan ng banquet hall kung saan may upuan para sa akin ay hinarap ko silang lahat. Kilala ko ang mga taong nandito. It's very important to know every heads of the noble family. Part 'yon ng pagiging royalty.

Actually, hindi ko kailangan sauluhin ang pangalan ng bawat noble family ngunit inutos iyon sa akin ni Dad. I must memorize the names of all the noble families for the future purposes.
