The Reincarnated Villainess

#2 THE ORIGINAL

"my lady, I heard the prince is visiting today?" Maria, my personal maid asked while she brushed my hair

"I know! So I must look dashing today Maria. I need to be beautiful so the prince will fall for me and ask me to marry him. Oh how I yearn be his fiancee" I grinned up to my ears while imagining him and I marrying each other in the palace. Today, Prince Lucas is visiting, together with his father, King Alphonse. I must continue to impress the prince so he can see how much attraction I have for him.

"My lady, here are the clothes you are to wear today" seeing the familiar shape and colour of the dress held by that incompetent maid infuriated me so much. I stared at her from my mirror with so much disgust. I hated it when mother hires new maids for me. She can just give me one of her maids, I'm sure they're much easier to have than these useless ones.

"Are you retarded? You must be stupid and blind! Or you just wanted to embarrass me for wearing that dress again" She flinched after hearing me "I wore that same clothes 5 months ago when I went with father and mother to the palace. I can't wear those clothes again. What will the prince think of me?! I am the only daughter of the De Armallia! I need to look my part!" I jumped out of my chair and headed to the closet, passing by the maid while giving her a glare. She better be careful not to annoy me again, or else, this day will certainly be the last day she works in our mansion.

"Take that dress, I will wear that" I pointed at the pale azure long and puffy dress for the maid to grab.

"My lady, are you certain you are to wear this dress?" One of the maids stupidly asked me when I was about to leave the closet. "What I mean my lady is that, the dress is too long for you, you might have an accident. I am only considering your safety"

"No. I will wear the dress. It suits me very well and I'm sure the prince will like me on the dress too" I went back to finally change. And within few moments, a butler came informing the short arrival of the King and prince.

She hurriedly went to the main living where she knows her family will welcome the father and son. Upon arriving the room she was immediately glared at and teased by her elder twin brothers on a respected manner. The cold Ryle ignoring her at all cost and the annoying lyle who'll tease her whenever he can. She cursed at them inside her mind while trying to maintain her composure despite her annoyance for being in one room with her brothers increase. She only need to ignore her brothers, because in half a year, they will depart to the academy, which means they won't be in the mansion as often. She looks forward to the days when these two devils in her life disappears.

"Athy, oh, athy. You do know the prince will never be interested on a brat like you" Lyle teases her, she felt her cheeks flinch temporarily ruining her bright smile "I mean look at you" and he laughed, laughed so hard he was holding onto his stomach. Athanasia wasn't able to hold her anger and lunged at her older brother, teasing her to no extent.

But, like an instant vision, she knew this won't go well. The door opened, revealing her parents, the king and the second prince entering the main living. As this happen, she stepped on the hem of her dress. Her older brother moved to his right to avoid her. And she hit the table at the back of his brother.

"ATHY!" Everyone panicked when blood pooled from the head of the child laying on the floor, and little by little, athanasia's consciousness faded.

"Sakura nee chan..." sakura kept hearing the familiar cries of children. They kept calling her name, but no matter how much she wanted to look at the source of the cry or respond, her senses were no longer helping her. Everything continued to fade. And the voices, died little by little.
