Reacting To Death Is The Only Ending For The Villainess

Chapter 2 - Hard Mode Begins!

Penelope felt doubtful as she saw the exact same replica of herself, sitting at the couch with the same dumbfounded look. Suddenly feeling a headache, Penelope turned to look at Fiona with a questioning look.

Fiona noticed Penelope looking at her and her smile just deepened, her foot moved forward as she entered the room with a mischievous smile on her face, "Now why don't you enter... Lady Penelope?"

"What is the meaning of this?" Penelope didn't enter the room as she stood at the door with a frown on her face, feeling confused. Is that woman who she think it is? She feels doubtful.

Fiona didn't say anything and stood rooted at her spot, her eyes forming into crescents as she looked at the doubtful Penelope. Before Fiona could open her mouth to respond, a cold voice was heard..

"Are you the woman who possessed my body?" The original Villainess, who's only ending was death in every route.. Penelope Eckhart spoke with a cold tone while looking at her counterpart.

There was a bit of a momentary silence in the room as no one spoke, quite surprised to have suddenly been interrupted by the one and only Penelope Eckhart.

"...I suppose you can say it like that" Penelope answered her with a slight doubtful look, looking away while feeling uncomfortable.

OgPenelope didn't say anything and just nodded her head before looking back at the cookie that fell on her lap, silently picking it up and gracefully wiping the cookie crumbles that was on her lap.

Fiona cleared her throat and faked cough before a wide grin was plastered on her face, looking towards Penelope before she slightly narrowed her eyes, "...Please, make yourself comfortable"

Penelope looked at Fiona before her pupils moved to look at the silent OgPenelope who was eating the cookies on the table. Really, what has she gotten herself onto?

Meanwhile, everyone who was present at the living room we're in an awkward silence. Having been said, nobles from the Eorka Empire weren't exactly on good terms.

Meeting in such a mysterious place without any prior notice were bound to place the nobles and aristocrats into a deep awkwardness. Without prior notice and prior preparation, it was certainly something that every noble should be careful of and be mindful of their actions, especially since they were at the presence of the royals.

Reynold took a deep breath and glanced at his brother and father who were certainly discussing something. His eyes moved towards the marquis who was whispering to the young boy beside him in complete secrecy.

His eyes then again moved and reached to look at the noble ladies who were silent, each glancing at one another for different purposes. Reynold then again moved his eyes to look at his other side, only to see the crown prince and his attendant, Cedrick discussing something.

Though it was mostly Cedrick who spoke much, however Callisto seemed to not pay any attention to it as his eyes was fixated on the screen, on which the words displayed on it changed.

Reynold disliked the sole idea of him not having anyone to talk to. He simply clicked his tongue and looked at the screen, his eyes blinked in curiosity when the words on the screen changed.

Reynold frowned in displeasure when he read the same words once again. His mind recalled what was stated at the last scene, recalling how the sorcerer called Penelope the 'Villainess' of this so called artifact.

His mind somehow showed an image on which Penelope laid at the ground, with her own pool of blood—

Reynold immediately flinched and shook his head. What was that he imagined just now?! No, it can't be. He must've gone crazy especially with how he imagined Penelope dying.
