I Will Die As The Villainess √

23: The Best Birthday For A Villainess

Malice, hatred, Chaos.

And soon-to-be loyalty, the very thing I expected right now.

"That's enough!" Rayll suddenly shouted as he threw his glass of wine. "What kind of fake rumors are you trying to spread? How shameless of you people to attend my sister's birthday just to destroy her!"

The cool and kind-hearted facade was nowhere to be seen. Eyes full of rage and bloodlust were being released, scaring every single one in this very well-planned birthday party. Celestine, truly your frightened face is much more beautiful than usual.

Everyone, even the prince with the highest authority was shocked and quite disturbed by the explosion of emotions coming from his best friend. People should thank me for this play I started...

"How shameless of you to slander my late mother and beloved sister." He stated, ocean eyes glowing with a murderous aura.

So what he said is true..... He'll protect me...

Thankfully the Duke was nowhere to be seen to stop the madness for he was discussing something with the king at the garden. Everything was moving as expected.

"My mother is nowhere violent! You don't know what you're saying!"

"M-my Lord calm d-down!" A lower Noble shouted and he was immediately met by another glass, thrown towards him by Rayll. Eh, was it my plan to place Rayll next to the table full of glasses?

No, it was Celestia's.....

That plotting maid is the best! I don't even know why I trust her to help me... But at least she cooperated.

"Rayll! I demand you to calm down!" The prince finally found composure as he angrily walks towards him.

"Brother...." Celestine whimpers... Soon tears started flowing down her pale cheeks as she bit her lower lip. "Why? How can you say mother was loving?!"

Oh gosh, ! I'm destroying this family perfectly!

"Celestine you don't know any-"

"Mother! She never loved us remember?!" Celestine cut off Rayll with a shout and some guests gasp in surprise.

"W-whats happening?" A guest next to me whispered in fear and I sense her slightly tremble.

Ah you see, Celestia informed me about something important before this day came. She claimed to hear the Duke's plan.

He was planning to engage me with someone outside the empire to gain more support and power. The parents of my soon-to-be husband are here and the Duke is talking with them.

Since everything about me, from honor to reputation is tarnished, I am completely useless.

Ever since my engagement with the prince annulled, a lot of young master doesn't prefer me anymore.

So what did I do?

I made things worse!

Last night I ordered Celestia to spread rumors about me. Rumors that focus on destroying me and the duchess' image.

If I'm going to be selfishly sold by my father, then I shall gracefully strike and bring the whole family down with me.

With this play, it can stop the engagement from happening. This entertainment right now is more beneficial to me, the Villainess.

"She loved us, Celestine!" He argued as he clench his heart.

"But that night, it was so clear she only loved Knile!" With tears and sadness consuming her usual bright pink eyes, everyone felt pity towards her. Confusion took over the guest's faces and I notice them staring at me.

The heroine scooted near me and tug my sleeves. She sadly looks at me with her sunset like eyes and whispered;

"You should stop them."

Heroine, I think it's time you face someone with different ideas and beliefs. You need to realize I'm the enemy of everything so that the story will be balanced.

A heroine with pure goodness and intent to make the world much better...

And a Villainess who wishes for destruction.

I feel like you've been getting nice and sweet around me, dropping your guard just like that. I don't know what happened to you. Seriously, why can't the characters just stay the way they were created?

"Are you trying to order me around?" I ask, colder and harsher than usual.

She whimpered as she releases my sleeves.

"N-no! I-Im just trying to solve the prob-"

"My lady, I don't think you have what it takes to be an Empress if you planned to use me to stop the fight."

"Eh? A-am not using y-yo-"

"KNILE THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"

I frown physically... Everyone's gazes... They all look at me with unusual faces. I then slowly lift my head to face Celestine. Glowing red eyes met her shining pink orb.

"Sister, Why is it that you always blame me?"

With a frown plastered on my face, the usual cold and heartless eyes were gone and replaced by sadness. I suppose it's time to use emotions to destroy everything.

"I was always blamed when it comes to mother..." I stated, my voice cracking. Crying to gain pity? Should I do it?

"It's because Mother only loved you! Why can't she also loved us?!"

Oh right, crying in front of people is a weakness.

"That's enough!"

Finally, the Duke appeared. I gazed at him and he was back to his usual and stoic face.

I was a bit disappointed since he didn't even bother showing any emotions.

"Both of you, go back to your room!" The Duke shouted with authority and the atmosphere was so intense, more intense than the play I started.

"To clear the misunderstanding, The Duchess did love the three of you." My grandfather appeared next to the Duke, his crimson eyes staring at everyone as if they were a pest.

"I'm afraid the banquet is over." The Duke spoke and soon people started leaving with a startled look. I like how everyone couldn't think straight right now.

"Well then, farewell," Some guest said their goodbyes with voice trembling. Majority looks perplexed and the rest tries to hide their interest.

Fate, I see you're trying to stop my first destruction. That's a bit cruel of you...

But not to worry, I already received the result I wanted.

I can finally reassure that I can use Rayll.

Slowly and gracefully, I walk back towards my chamber while trying to stop my laughter.

The drama destroyed the family's reputation.

A thing the Duke values the most...

And worst, his two favorite son and daughter started the chaos...

Ahaha...

This is hilarious.

Best birthday ever.

Though even so, it's still not my birthday.

Wherever you are, if your still alive, Happy birthday Knile.

It's saddening I'm the only one who knows you're missing.

Though I guess, it's best for you to leave anyway. It's best for you not to suffer anymore.

I think it's also right for me to agonize like this since I killed myself.

I'm a bit disappointed this chapter wasn't well written and the descriptions suck.
