Villainess Rules of Survival

Young Duke

Anais Isla.

Oh, he slowly bowed in greetings. I smiled and also do my part.

"I greet the only sunshine of the Empire, our Princess." Shit, who is this guy? It's the first time I met him.

Only sunshine huh, there's another one already.

"Pardon my rudeness, I am the young Duke of von Lacreima, Riverous Zephyr von Lacreima." The Young Duke? I never got anyt chance to have a conversation in my past life with him.

I've heard he suffered so much by the lost of his both parent in an accident and got the title of Young Duke when he was 9, I was five that time, so he's 11 now and I'm 8.

I also heard, our family really supports him aside from being my Uncle Dad's student and Brother Archer's friend.

I smiled widely. "Hello, I'm Anais Isla Ecletté vain Harrington." Magiliw kong pakilala.

He blinked so my smile grow wider. Well, everyone thinks of me as still a villainess even if I'm just a child. Whatever, nakakamatay pagiging pakielamero.

"Yeah, my mother is so beautiful and very kind." Baling lo ulit kay Mom.

"I've heard about you from Archer." I looked at him in surprise, oh? Brother Archer telling him about me?

The reflection of the moon radiates his face. Wow, such a handsome beauty. He has this soft white color of hair with his bloody red eyes which is so captivating.

His face is so maamo!

I also learned he protected my family against to those people who started to hate them just because of me. I totally owed him a lot even though we're not that close.

Nag-usap din kami, nasabi niya na nakikita niya ang portrait ni Mama sa Mañor namin. I smiled thoroughly. He's also like part of our family.

"Thank you." Seryoso kong sambit. His bloody red eyes met my aquamarine blue eyes.

"No, I thank you." Naguguluhan akong napatingin sa kanya. I wonder kung nagalit ba siya or what sa akin in my past life.

My face has the expression of why, ngunit ngumiti lamang ito. Wow, his eyes become like a droop eyes with wine. He's a beauty!

"Islaaa." napatingin naman ako kay Brother Archer na papalapit sa amin. Ngumiti ito nang makita kaming magkasama ng matalik niyang kaibigan.

Bumati ito at tumingin sa statue ni Mama. "Hi, Mama. I miss you." Yes, mama din ang tawag niya kay Mama kasi tinuring niyang anak si Brother Archer. Pero Minsan Auntie ang tawag niya.

Nakita ko naman na nakangiti lamang sa amin si..uh? River?

"Let's go." Yaya nito kaya nagsimula na kaming maglakad pabalik sa bulwagan.

Gusto ko muling umirap nang masilayan kong masaya na masaya si bruha sa piling ni gago, wow, match made in heaven. Si Austine kasi kaibigan 'yang si Nathan na gago.

Nagpaalam na si Riverous kanina sa amin, wala naman talaga siyang agenda kundi u-mattend lang because of the invitation.

Napansin kung napatingin sa akin ang ilang, ngunit wala naman akong pake.

"Darling." Pagtawag sa akin ni Uncle Dad at hinawakan ang kamay ko, natutuwa naman akong inabot ang kamay niya.

"Are you now done?" Tango ko dito. I already said that I'll stay  here then visit them.

Nakita ko na may nakatitig sa akin, si Nathaniel usbaw.

Ano tini-tingin tingin niya? And for the nth time, gusto ko umirap. Pansin ko na lalapit sana siya sa akin ngunit nahila agad ni bruha ang wrist nito at patuloy ang pagdaldal niya kaya napatingin sita rito at napabuntong hininga.

I secretly smirked. Nagtataka nga ako e, sa huling buhay ko nagpakatanga ako sa kanya. Medyo semplang ako do'n ah. 'Di hamak na soooobrang layo ng agwat nila ni River sa mukha, at mas lalo na sa ugali.

What I mean is, may iba pa naman pero nagpakatanga pa ako sa hindi ko deserve. Nagpa-uto ako sa mga taong akala ko kaya akong mahalin.

But, they all just see the worth in my usefullness.

Naiiling ako sa naiisip. Wow, I just lost myself for just the attention of the worst people.
