The Villainess Wants To Go Home

Chapter 3 - Beauty behind the reflection

It has only been 4 hours since I woke up in her body and no one suspected anything off with her

behaviour..................

I think.

My intention is not to get involved with the characters especially with Ariana and Damon, the two love

birds who will be my end if interfere.

I don't plan on staying here either., Daisuke is waiting for me to return and no one is going to get in my

way because if they do the last thing they will see is a knife through their throats.

I'm definitely going to get home and out from this novel world.

My plan is to leave this place before my execution that will occur in 3 months, find a powerful mage

who is able to take me back to my world, 'the real world'. I will be able to leave this place and go back

to my brother's side.

Daisuke wait for me, I'm coming.

My thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door.

"Come in" I answered in a bored tone, still glancing at garden.

The door creaked open and the maids from this morning stepped in. Lilly the girl with the brown haired

tied in a ponytail, Stella the black-haired girl whose hair is tied in a plait. They both had brown eyes,

small figures but Lilly was a slight taller. Her face was covered in freckles and Stella had a mole under

her chin and both have average faces and they looked like they are in their early 20s.

Lilly and Stella are one of the reason to why she was executed. They both betray Diana from the very

beginning of the story. The gossips and rumours of Diana were started by those two and she was too

naïve to think it was Lilly and Stella.

It was those two who snitched to Damon about the cruel things she did to Ariana and that is a part of

the reason to why she was executed. Diana believed that they were on her side the whole time they

served her until the very end when she locked her icy blue eyes with them. Their devilish grins across

their faces as they giggled behind their hands. Diana cursed them before her last breath was taken by

a blade.

What a pity, even your maids were stool pigeons and you were too blind to see.

'Heh'. An evil grin crossed my face. 'but I'm not the foolish Diana you know'

They bowed when they entered Diana's massive and extravagant room but I paid no mind to them and

continued to look outside the window.

"My lady your bath is ready" Lilly said with meek and lazy voice. Her head was down the hall time she

entered. In response I hummed lazily as I got up from my comfy chair. "Your ball gown has arrived as

well my lady. Just like you asked".

"ball gown huh" mumbling those words, the scene of Diana's humiliation at the party in the novel and a

major plot that would occur tonight, appeared in my mind.

She was humiliated in front of the 3 kingdoms of Alphyria then to have her engagement with the Prince

annulled. This outraged Diana, imposing her to slap her sister accusing Ariana for seducing her

fiancé in front of the crowd making a huge scene. The emperor, Lyte Aurum, had enough of her

arrogant behaviour.

She was sent to prison by the order of his majesty for the night due to harming the love of his son and

ruining Damon's birthday banquet.

When she was released the next morning, Diana was the talk of the town. Wherever she went the

whispers didn't leave her ears.

"Is there something the matter my lady?" I gave Lilly a side look, whose brown eyes darted right back

at me with confusion. Something about her makes me want to slap her face that even her crooked

tooth would slap back into place.

"Nothing"

I bathed in the warm petal filled tub with refreshing rose scented steam. I sunk my head lower into the

bath blowing into the water making bubbles rise to the surface.

It's a nice feeling but I miss my bubbly baths though. The foaming surface of the warm water and the

fragrance of the soap. What I will give to be in that situation right now.

On the first day of reincarnating into Diana's life, it's the crowns prince banquet. The place where

Ariana and Damon have their first dance together sparking their love before he declared annulment of

his and Diana's engagement.

I don't know how long I was in the bath when Lilly walked in with folded towels. "My Lady it's time to get

ready. The carriage would be here in 4 hours".

I cringed from the words that escaped her mouth. How long does it take to get ready in the ancient

times? The last I was getting ready for a party for a mission with Daisuke, it only took me an hour and

30 minutes.

I rose up from the bathtub, water sliding down my skin and splashing back in the tub full of warm water.

Looking down I saw my reflection, white fair skin so smooth and delicate, icy blue eyes that will freeze

any heart and silver white hair to match with her eyes. The beauty to outshine all. Just like it described

in the novel.

Diana you're a beauty but a shame no one sees through your horrid personality to see it.

I stepped out of the tub and walked away, with a every step leaving behind wet footprint on the wooden

floor. I brushed past her taking the towel from her hands without even looking at her.

I gazed in the mirror at my reflection while Lily and Stella styled my beautiful locks of silver hair. "Wow

my lady, your so beautiful" Lilly said trying to lighten the awkward atmosphere between us before

tucking away the last lock.

"Mm" I hummed in a bored expression. I'm not stupid. I know you're trying to flatter me so you could be

on my good side the same tactic you used on Diana the past 10 years you served her, gritting your

teeth quietly wishing you served Ariana instead.

I stared at my reflection in the mirror in front of me. Those wistful blue eyes staring right back at me

admiring the beauty she possessed. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

I looked at myself then to my hair. It was styled in a half braided ponytail with strands of wavy silver

locks dangling down my sides.

I turned my head to the side to admire the back of my hair, wavy silver hair pinned together with a navy

blue crystal floral hair comb adjusted to the middle to go with my navy blue ball gown. They did a great

job with the hair but it's a shame they won't be doing such thing sin the future.

I stood up from my dressing stool and carefully made my way over to the tall mirror beside my vanity

desk, trying not to trip over the lace. This dress was so hard to walk in and the corset is so tight I feel

like my lungs are going to burst. I felt like i was walking around like a disabled penguin.

I scanned the dress I wore. My first impression on the dress is....... 'Hideous. Just hideous. What kind

of style did you have Diana? It's like a whole pile of shit thrown together into one to make a whole pile

of dump.'

The skirt of the gown had white floral patterns embroidered with beads within the laces of the skirt to

the waist then corset then to the hoop. Bows and ribbons were sewed around it to make loops in every

side of the skirt. There seemed to be hundreds of layers sewed on the skirt, the sleeves were puffy,

ugly and hot. And what is with the bow in the middle of my chest.

I pinched the bridge of my nose and sighed in annoyance. It's either her sense of style is horrible or the

designs in this world is horrible.

I may not be a fashion designer or have an idea about it but my mother was a fashion designer. She

wasn't famous however her work was becoming well known around Japan. I learnt a few fashion tips

and other things relating to clothes, so I know quite a little bit about fashion. Looking at this

overwhelming gown of shit, I'm having second thoughts of walking into the ball dressing like Lady Gaga

in the 18th century.

"My, what a stunning dress you chosen for the crown's princes banquet, my Lady. I'm sure he will love

to see you dressed so beautifully" Lilly spoke trying to enlighten me with her sweet flattering words

thrown at me. 'Yeah what a beautiful dress this is, mind telling me who made it so I can praise them for

their awful dress designing' I rolled my eyes at my thoughts.

"My lady is there something wrong with the dress? Is it not to your liking" Stella asked as she observed

my expression, she was quite offended from my eye roll but tried to hide from yet i could see right

through. Looking at her from the reflection of the mirror, she was standing beside Lilly like a child

attached to her mother.

"Stella how long time do we have left before the carriages arrive?"

Stella and Lilly gave each other looks of confusion.

"the carriages don't arrive until the sun sets and it's not half way yet but since you ordered to arrive

early at the ball your carriage will arrive probably around this time"

I sweat dropped staring at them with deadpalmed expression. 'On what level of obsessed are you on,

Diana, to see your lovey dovey Prince so early on his birthday party.'

I stared at my dress in mirror again, titling my head as i observed what i was going to do.

"I don't have time to get a new dress but if I mend it a little to my liking it might work however with

limited time I have, I don't think I could get it done by the time the carriages arrive" I mumbled to

myself.

"What was that my Lady?" I looked over to where they were standing side by side each other, looking

at me with confusion written all over their average looking faces and that's when an idea sparked in my

mind. I grinned.

'Heh guess you guys are pretty useful to me. Maybe I can keep you until I satisfy myself with your help

then kill you in the end and make it look like an accident.'

"Lilly get me scissors. Stella get me the sewing kit." They flinched from my sudden bark of orders.

Crossing my hands and arching my eyebrow up, I glared at them making them shiver in terror. "What

are you standing around for. I don't have all day" I said coldly.

They quickly gave each horrified looks before bowing quickly and running off.

Stella and Lily be prepared to feel my wrath.
