The Villainess's Regret

Cause & Effect

Question: How easy is it, to become a villain? Villainess, in my case.

Answer: Saying and doing the right thing in the right place and the right time to the right people. That easy.

All I want is to live my life. Nothing more, nothing less.

To become a villain, one has to have a motive against the hero.

Who is the hero who decides I am the villain? How rude. Shouldn't they discuss with me first before one-sidedly giving me a role as the antagonist? Who says they are the protagonist?

Why am I the Villainess? Why am I not the Heroine?

Isn't she the one who comes and disturbs my peaceful life? If she doesn't involve herself in my matters, we will not have become enemies, will we?

Is it my fault for not managing my people better?

My friends. My love.

The very same people who slowly change sides.

Those who are with me are now with her.

It is inevitable, isn't it?

At first, it is nothing serious.

She cuts in my queue. Naturally, I tell her off for doing something like that.

The second time, it is just a coincidence.

I aim my half-finished drink at the trashcan. The rebound of my failed shot hit her.

Again, it happens.

I am talking with several people when someone pushes me. I return the push which causes her to fall and drops items made of glass.

And so on.

Somehow, people start accusing me of harming her on purpose.

Do they not wonder why I would do that?

"Aren't you just jealous of her?"

"Jealous? What does she have that worth my envy?"

"A lot. Beauty, patience, grace, wit, friends,"

"Are you mocking me?"

"All of what happened may be accident or coincidence,"

"I have no intention to involve myself with her at all,"

"Regardless of your intention, you two always cross paths,"

"It is more like she crosses my path,"

"When will you actively cross her path then?"

"Did you not hear what I said?"

"What will you do if I go to her side too?"

"Is that a sign?"

"From your perspective, she is trying to rob everything from you,"

"If you know and still want to be by her side, go ahead,"

"You know what she is trying to do,"
