I Shall die as the Villainess Once Again!

1

{Elysia's POV}:

I want to close my eyes and wish that everything was a dream.

Elysia opens her eyes.

It's all a dream!

"Elysia Chauvemeur."

Huh? Who is that?

Never mind, it's not a dream. Ugh... the crown prince is sitting across from me with his arms crossed and looking at me. This is so embarrassing! My mother even tied me down onto the chair. 

"Love... were you trying to commit suicide?"

What is this? Is he trying to look nice in front of all these people? Yes! I am trying to die because I know I am dying again. Why is he even calling me love? I felt nothing towards that bastard anymore. 

"Elysia... answer me."

"I would like to disapprove of our marriage." 

The crown prince was shocked. 

"You ungrateful daughter!" 

"Shut up! Mother!" 

Elysia's mother slapped her.

I looked away from my mother as the maids were in shock and gasped. They all left the room. The room was silent now. My mother's hand was shaking as she bit her bottom lip. I could see her face heating up like a teapot about to explode. She stormed off and slammed the door. 

The crown prince was trying to reach for my hand. His hand sightly touched mine, and I slapped away his hand. I looked to the side and said: 

"Whether you like it or not, I am not going to be married to you." 

His face suddenly changed. He looked at me like I was a hideous monster. His innocent pure face expression had turned into an ice cold wall. Oh, how his facial expression changed so fast when everyone left the room. I laughed out loud and spit at his face. I don't care if he's a royal.

He suddenly got up and slapped me. He wiped off the spit of his face. I didn't even flinched. It's not the first time that I got slapped by him. I can't believe I even loved such a nasty man with an ugly heart like him. He left the room with rage as I can see the veins sticking out on his head.

He slammed the door and I was finally free. Yes! I did it! I stopped my own marriage and my death! There's no way I am dying as the villainess again. Ugh... that bastard slapped me so hard that my cheek ripped and my mother's slapped wasn't even that hard. My wrists are red and it created those ropes lining on it now and it stings.

I got off the chair and walked out. The maids rushed to me and cried and was shocked that my left side of my cheek was swollen.

"My lady! Are you alright?"

"Omg! My lady! How dare the crown prince slapped you like that!"

One of the maid reached out a white cloth and pressed the cloth on my cheek to soak the blood. They healed my cheek with care and I was absent from dinner. My mother doesn't allowed me to eat at the family table since she was disappointed of me because I refused to continued on with the marriage with the crown prince.

I didn't care if I was banned from joining dinner with them, I can't even eat in peace because I will hear my mother and father's bickering about who I am going to be married to and who I should not be marrying to. My father never liked the crown prince and disapprove of my marriage with him but due to my obsession with the crown prince, I married him anyway.

It has been 4 days since I declined my marriage with the crown prince. There wasn't any rumor going on since that day and the mansion was quiet. Now what should I do? It's so boring living in this big mansion. All my life I have always been dressing up and going out to shops 24/7 but now that I think about it, what was I doing with my life? Since I have stopped becoming a villainess― OMG! I have totally forgotten that I bullied the crown prince's lover!

This is bad. I even had a bad reputation because of a ruckus that I had caused with her. She's a princess by the way. That time if I  remembered it correctly... Hm... Oh... Ah!... I got it! I went to this ball dance and I was dancing with the crown prince with her watching me. I even had the other ladies tripped her and spread rumors about her being an illegitimate child who was born by mistake and was abandoned.

The other ladies got on her side because she was a royal blood princess and I was just a mere Duke's daughter. So I was kicked out of the ball dance and I lose face and became a laughing stock as I cursed at them.

Elysia shakes her head

What was I thinking back then?

Elysia sighs

Well, I am glad that I had a second chance at life because I want to learn how to bake and cook and owned my own pastry. Let's start learning first and open my own business. I talked with my father about my business and that I will be living by my own. I don't want to be stuck in that mansion forever. My father was shocked.

"Are you even my daughter? What happened to you? Did you hit your head on a brick wall or is there something possessing you?"

I laughed and replied: "Father, I want to do my own things that I could have done before it was too late." He looked at me confused and replied: "Oh... how you have grown into a mature woman." He wiped off his tear and continued on helping with my pastry business.

In the kitchen...

I have never learned how to cook before, I just waited for the head chef to cooked the food for me and get served by the maids. It's my first time holding a knife and I can't even cut these vegetables right. The head chef was worried about me harming myself because it's my first time cooking. I practiced day by day and my head chef showed me a new dessert recipe that he made out of starch.

"My lady, I have a recipe that you should try baking, this recipe is called Pineapple Star Cream Puff."

My eyes sparkled as I see the sketch of the dessert recipe. The head chef was smiling ear to ear that I have interests with his dessert recipes.

"Wow! The sketch that your draw looks so yummy! So what should I start with first?"

We started baking the dessert and it came out looking delicious. This was a secret recipe of his by the way and it tastes so good! I was happy that I have started my life this way but things started to go downhill.
