LILA: THE CURSED VILLAINESS

20

A thing most females do when they're sucked into the same reincarnation trope thingy is that they always find their answers to how they came to a new world at the temple or church.

Well, not always.

Some of the cliche females don't even bother looking into it at all. They simply accept their new life and do whatever.

Not our villainess tho.

Lila looked out the carriage window, the city was beginning to come into view as they made their way to the divine temple. This was the city meant for the rich and noble. The city is filled with all kinds of expensive restaurants and shops for the nobles to spend their money, the streets are made out of polished stone, and the sidewalks are made out of marble. A commoner could only live here if they worked for a household.

Such a city was where the divine temple was located. In the middle of a rich city like this where snotty arrogant and selfish nobles and come together like birds to spend whatever money they have for some little gratification.

The carriage stopped for a moment to be let through by the Empires knights who guard the entrance, then the carriage was let through into the city.

SSHH—!

Lila quickly pulled the curtain to cover the window to avoid anybody looking in. Normally Lila would never care to come to a place like this, but she needs answers.

Lila isn't coming here to find a way back to her old world. What is there left for her? By the time Amanda was abandoned by her brother, she and her brother were already enemies of the state. The whole state were after them both because their monsters and experiments came to light. Their faces were everywhere; the news, posters, billboards, social media, etc.

Amanda who couldn't handle the abandonment and pain her brother inflicted on her decided to turn him into what he became.

A monster.

A creature so sickening that it showed who he was on the inside. Amanda turned him into one of the many creatures they've made together.

He was no longer human.

Lila looked down at her hands, memories of how he looked, his coarse and distorted voice, his disgusting smell, his entire form. That man was no longer her brother whom she loved so dearly.

He was a monster that was created by her own hands.

There's nothing for me in that world.

Lila came to accept that quite easily. Her body was probably at the bottom of the ocean, slowly disappearing into nothing by being exposed to the elements under water.

Nothing was left for her. As if the world didn't want her back.

Not that she could blame them.

Lila is glad she's no longer that person anymore.

The trip to the temple isn't to find a way back to a world that doesn't want her. It's answers to how she came here when she specifically killed herself to face whatever punishment she had in hell. So she could rest, so she could close her eyes and never wake up. Such a thing sounded like pure bliss after living a life as somebody's puppet.

But it's as if the gods purposely want her to suffer more. Now she's in a entirely different world then her own, inside a stupid novel she read that she hardly even remembers. It's as if they're toying with her. They left her in a entirely different world with no answers or clues or anything. Just her by herself.

I just want answers.

I just need answers.

Maybe then I'll stop having nightmares at night.
