The villainess reverses the hourglass

CHAPTER 42

'Even if it takes half of my life, I can't afford to miss this opportunity. I will use the hourglass over and over to destroy Mielle thoroughly. If you are insulted daily, you will not be able to live in your right mind. And taking away your precious things would be very easy. I will turn the hourglass over, and take away your father, your loved one, and those who follow you. In the end, as you made me poison your tea in the past, I will make you do it yourself, and then, it'll be off with your head.'

"... Haha."

The mere imagination alone made her burst with laughter. When she did so in the middle of class, Mrs. White smiled softly and asked why she was laughing, "Did something good happen for you?"

"Yes, something very good has happened."

Aria glanced at the hourglass, which was within reach of her. Since she hadn't used to it yet, she thought it wouldn't be too bad to use it on Mrs. White.

"What good things have happened to you? I'm curious."

"Do you want to know?"

"Yes, they say that sharing good things makes your joy doubled. I want to share in what good thing has happened to Lady Aria."

She was quite a nuisance. Since her teaching skills were poor, her classes were useless. In addition, she normally bothered Aria by expressing her intentions as she urged Aria to meet her son, Aphon, displaying her insidious, innermost thoughts.

'In the past, you took him, who was pretty hung up to me, away heartlessly.'

Aria still remembered Mrs. White, who had turned up very chilly for her son, who had gotten drunk, after judging that Aria had outer beauty, but that there was nothing to be gained from her. She had left with her son while leaving these words behind: "Do not hang out with such a vulgar girl."

"I met an old fox."

"An old fox?"

"Yes. A very old and ugly fox."

"Is that a good thing?" the very old fox, the viscountess, asked, cocking her head.

"Sure. The fox is very cute. She doesn't know who she is and looks around for anything to gain. It's worth watching her. I'm going to play with her until all of her bones are crushed."

The viscountess's face hardened immediately. It seemed difficult to answer to that statement. That was because the story had been a little horrible and cruel to have come out of the mouth of such a young girl.

"... You must have a cute pet. I really want to see it too."

Nevertheless, she had to agree with Aria because she wanted something.

A fox was not a pet, and she wondered why Aria was raising an old fox, but she did not say such a negative thing.

Aria responded with a smile as fresh as a flower and said to Mrs. White, "You can meet her without even trying."

After her gaze went through the viscountess, it headed to the mirror near the dressing room. It meant that the viscountess could meet her if looked in the mirror. However, it was inevitable that she would have to explain it in a slightly more straightforward manner, as the viscountess didn't understand what she was saying.

"Sometimes, I get irritated. She keeps asking me to see her boy, who has nothing to see. She seems to want to raise her status somehow. She doesn't even know who she is."

Aria wanted Mrs. White not to bother her anymore. She would meet her son eventually and make full use of him. 'Don't you know this makes me want to throw you away?'
