First Lie: The villainess in me (Otome Game)

Never Again

Ah....Here I was again... Crying because of something I had no control over.

This wasn't supposed to happen. I wasn't supposed to feel this much for something that was inevitable.

You see, this is all a game. A game I remembered when I was 8, the time I was innocent and hopeful. I knew the moment I saw my fiancé, prince Nikolis, that I was doomed. I, at first, was ecstatic to have such a amazing and kind fiancé...until I fell asleep that night. I was plagued with nightmares of my demise. In them, I was a girl who played a "otome game" called "To Feel Love Again". In it the "heroine " would meet "capture targets" who would fall in love with her. The heroine was a girl called Sintia Swan. In the game, she would go to Magica Academy and meet various capture targets and obstacles to her love. Many capture targets were high ranking and powerful men, but she was only a daughter of a baron. The otome part of the game was as cliché as it could get, there would be ruotes and the capture targets were all something we've seen done before.

The heroine herself had a special gift... She had a skill called "investigation". It allowed her to view data from items. You see, this otome game wouldn't be so popular if it was just a normal game. This game actually was a murder mystery. In the school of Magica academy, noble children were being killed, one of them being me. This started around the middle of the game. It surprised many people who played the game, but it got them hooked. I was one of those people who couldn't put the game down afterwards.

The sad part is, I died before I could finish the game. So when I woke up and realized my situation, I completely shut down. The fear overtook me. I couldn't eat, speak or sleep. I'm still not completely sane. My family hid my breakdown with a "horrible sickness" and the prince didn't even bother coming to visit me around that time.... I finally realised that the prince was only being kind for appearances sake.

XOXO

Now I am 17, a fresh young lady who is definitely well in the head and has impeccable etiquette. At least that's what all the other young ladies have said to me in tea parties I've gone to.

I am ready to go with all the other noble children to the slaughter house that is Magica academy.

Magica academy is larger than the drawings I saw made it out to be. Honestly I would love this school if I didn't know my fate.

Well you see, Lady Aria, the fiancée of the crown prince, was a gorgeous little thing. Who died a very gorgeous death. At least the drawing of my death was beautiful. I died in my dorm bed... The one I'm standing next to now, my tear stainned gown discarded for a preppy style school uniform. The dorms in Magica academy are well decorated with large beds and medieval European royal architecture.

People had commented I looked better dead on the bed with my pale skin clashing with my red hair and the red of the blood on the bedsheets then I did as little sprites being a obstacle to the heroines love life. I was even wearing a white nightgown. It really painted a picture of a fairy than some devil that was my actual personality. It was the only time in the game I looked actually pitiful rather than ridiculous.

It really is a shame this school had such a uncomfortable feel to it. This place is a perfect royal castle... ghosts of the angered and all. I think the prince is rather cozy with this kind of atmosphere. The halls are big and dark even though it's sunny. The ground floor halls are open and whenever it rains there are number of students who slip and hurt themselves. I do not know why they never fix this issue. Maybe it has something to do with this building being bestowed upon by the royal family centuries ago.. they can't drastically change it without their permission I suppose. When I learned about this little piece of information I wondered if the killer was some sort of old royal ghost granny who hated children and did not appreciate their grandchildren giving the castle away.
