The Villainess Is Tired

Chapter 9

Waking up, Ashlyn didn't feel the pain anymore. Maids we're in her room waiting for her to wake. "Good Morning, Camille, Ava, Mirya, Nina, and Mina. How's your day?" she asked "We're good my lady" all of them said. "My lady, Ava will handle your schedule. So, you will have two personal maids. My lady also your teachers will arrive later after your breakfast. You and the young master's teacher are the same, My lady." I nodded. "Mirya, you can leave with Nina and Mina. Ava and Camille, they'll be staying. And oh, please tell butler Asher I want Camille to be my personal maid also." Mirya was stiff hearing it but she just nodded. The three that Ashlyn called and the two maids were left. "Sister Camille, sister Ava. How are you? Are the house chores hard for you? I want to talk to the two of you all day." She cheerfully said. Camille and Ava, we're happy that they became friends with the new daughter of the house. She was not like their lady Charlotte. Camille and Ava have a secret, not no one knows except for their lady Charlotte and Mirya.

After the bath. Ashlyn ate alone with no family accompanying her. "Ava, Camille I'm just going to the library. You don't need to escort me. If my teacher is here go to the library and find me there." They were about to stop her but she already walked to the library.

Reaching the library. She saw many books and big bookshelves. She was not fascinated by what she saw because she already saw and gone to the library many times since her reincarnations. She memorized all of the books there including books about business, the empire, etiquettes, manners, knights, and many more. Going to the shelves she was going to reach for the book of manners and etiquettes. There was no small stair to climb on. So, she was reaching and reaching still she can't get the book. Then someone from the back gets it for her, he was much taller than her. "Thank you for getting it. I don't really know why I'm this small. I can't even get the book from that high." She jokingly said. Turning her head, she was shocked at first that it was her brother Ezekiel. But it faded. "Here's your book." He smiled when he gave it to me. Wow, the always plain and cold face Ezekiel can really smile. I thought Ezekiel just smiles at his siblings and father. She said to herself. "Brother Ezekiel, thank you again." Then Ashlyn walks to the table to read. Reading and reading she only did was reading. She glanced at her brother who was writing at the other table. Her brother felt eyes on him, he looked to Ashlyn. And Ashlyn just smiled at him. Ezekiel was about to say something when someone knocked on the door and entered the room. It was Camille. "My lady, young master sorry for barging in. But your teacher is already here, my lady." Ashlyn stands "Brother Ezekiel, I'll be going now. See you at lunch. Hope brother Adrian will eat with us *she waved while walking*"

Camille leaves her lady and her teacher in the study. A man was holding books and was smiling looking at Ashlyn. He was old, he was at the age of 40 in above. His hair was white and it was tied to a ponytail it was shown in his brown colored shirt. "Greetings, sorry for my lateness. Scholar Ronald, can we start our lesson now." She softly said. "It's okay my lady. Now...." He didn't finish what he said. "My lady, today we will be learning about the empire's history. And oh, I didn't mean to be rude my lady. But do you know how to read and write? *he hesitatingly asked*" Ashlyn just smiled "It's okay to ask me that scholar Ronald. And yes, I know how to read and write. Shall we begin?" He nodded. His teaching was smooth and clear. Because of Ashlyn's many reincarnations she already memorized the empire's history even the royal family. So, it's easy for her to answer scholar Ronald's questions. Still, Ashlyn wanted to take down notes. Even if she was titled the 'villainess' in her lifetimes she loves studying. "My lady, did you understand what I lectured to you a while ago?" he asked "Yes, scholar Ronald. I understand everything you said just now. Your voice is calm. Your lecture was as clear as the water." She complimented. Her words throbbed his heart, her words didn't hold lies in her words. "Thank you for the compliment, my lady. Be prepared for tomorrow's short quiz. Excuse me my lady I'll be going now." Ashlyn nodded.

It already reached lunchtime. Ashlyn wasn't excited to eat poison again. She reached the room. The long table was empty. Again, there was nobody to accompany her to eat. When she sat, she heard running in the hallways. She ignored it, she assumed that it was just the maids in a hurry. But then she saw his brothers panting and catching their breaths. "Um, brothers are you alright?" she worriedly asked. "We're alright Ashlyn." Ezekiel plainly said while walking towards the chair beside Ashlyn then he sat leaving Adrian who was standing "What do you mean by alright. You pulled me while I was training. And then you even run fast while pulling me. Is that even alright? Brother, are you insane?" he yelled. Ezekiel just ignored his brother who was still speaking. Ashlyn just giggled while watching his brother still yelling at Ezekiel. One of the maids served him food "Ashlyn, how's your lesson? Is the lecture hard?" he asked before eating "The lesson was not hard to learn." She said shortly. Ezekiel was nodding "If you need help in your studies or lessons come to me. Not to Adrian only knows how to train to be a knight. I don't even know if his head is full of some academics *he said while pointing at his head making fun of it*" Ashlyn just said yes while laughing. 'I wish this happen often.' she said to herself.

"Brother, you pulled me here and just let me stand here." Adrian unbelievingly said. "Idiot, I didn't pull you here just to make you stand there. Of course, I pulled you here to eat with me and Ashlyn." Then Adrian's mood changed. "I'll eat after I finish training with the knights." He became serious before Ezekiel was about to speak, he already walks away. "Sorry." He said while looking down. Ashlyn turns her head to his brother and smiles "It's okay. I know it will take a while for him to accept me as her sister." Ezekiel turns his head hearing those words and just smiled back. 'Adrian, don't do something stupid while Ashlyn is still kind' he said while staring at her come back to eating. Ashlyn felt the pain of the poison, she gripped her dress and bit her lips. To stop her from screaming because of pain.
