A Tale of the Path to Villainhood

Chapter 2

Sylvia closed her eyes and heard the wind whip around her.

The wind made her hair fly wildly and occasionally whipped her face with the long strands.

Sylvia couldn't help but liken the experience to one of the ticket blower machines at Chuck E Cheese's where kids would desperately try to grab handfuls of tickets out of the wildly blowing air.

But suddenly the wind stopped, almost as if time had been frozen.

Sylvia secretly peeked out of one eye, 'Maybe they messed up the enchantment.'

She saw a bright orb of light, almost brighter than the sun, but somehow she was able to look straight into the light without her eyes hurting.

{Welcome Sylvia, you are to be the villainess for the chosen one.} The orb announced with an almighty aura.

"Alright." Sylvia couldn't help but yawn, she had read the entire plot of the game, this was already expected by her.

{... You don't have any questions?}

"Nope."

{...You do realize that you'll have to give your fiance to her, right?}

"Yeah."

{...And you don't have any problems with that?}

"Nope."

{Can I ask why?}

"Sure."

{...Okay, then why?}

"Cause I don't care." Sylvia said with a shrug.

'Also, I'm kind of dodging a bullet by not being engaged to a yandere...' Sylvia inwardly added.

{What?}

"I only met the dude five times. He's a chill guy, but he's just like everyone else." Sylvia silently prayed to her baby for forgiveness in her heart.

{...That 'dude' is the crown prince of the empire and is famed for his good looks and kind personality.} The orb was strangely fired up and even glowed a bright red color to match.

"Oh, why though?" Sylvia tilted her head.

{What do you mean why?} The orb was confused.

Sylvia scrunched her eyebrows, "Why is he good looking?"

{He's the male lead.}

"No that's not what I meant. I meant, why is he good looking? He literally looks like everyone else." Sylvia physically felt a stab of pain in her gut after saying this sentence. But thankfully the orb didn't seem to notice.

{...} The orb was speechless.

{I spent a whole day making him, and you dare say that he looks like everyone else?}

She shrugged outwardly. But internally she spat cruelly, 'You spent a whole day on him? Pah! I spent months creating him, quit stealing my credit!'

{You know what, usually there's a time limit but screw it, I'm keeping you here. Tell me does this look like everyone else to you?} A photo of a very attractive person was presented in front of Sylvia.

She opened her eyes widely at the photo and then she squinted her eyes. 'Oh! This is one of my other babies! He's looking just as handsome as I remember.' Sylvia inwardly praised.

{Guess who this is?} The orb said proudly.

"... The librarian? Or maybe it's the woodsmith? Or perhaps it's the baker? Wait I got it, it's the blacksmith's son!" Sylvia nodded her head.
