The Villainess Proves Everyone Wrong

THE SUMMER FESTIVAL

Chapter Forty

Agh...

Today is the day, the summer festival.

The maids woke me up. "Time to get dress, my lady" they helped me up, I yawned.

I really don't wanna do any of this. Just want to sleep even more.

The maids showered me, and dressed me up like a porcelain doll. I was still half asleep.

"My lady, Please keep your head up" she instructed "y-yes, sorry. Just very tired" I lifted my head up, I looked at myself in the mirror.

She finished doing my hair, I had one thin single braid on both sides of my head.

Heyy, I look good.

I had a big red and black dress, it matched my eyes.

Does it have to be our garden though..? Ugh!!

I walked out of my room, and I met up with Raphael. "Your highness," I smiled softly, he observed what I was wearing "is in not to your liking?" I asked "you look... fine" his ears were hot, I wrapped my arm around his.

"Did we really have to host it in our garden?" I asked "let's just get this over with. And no being childish" Raphael demanded "me, childish?" I asked sarcastically.

We stepped out and everyone was already here. My jaw dropped.

Why so much people!? More than balls that I've went to!

It was a beautiful scenery though.

"Is your father going to be attending?" I asked him, he nodded no. "He's busy," "Helena!" My stomach dropped, it was my family.

I knew they were coming. But it still makes me wanna hurl when I see them.

"My loving family," I cracked a big smile and gave them all a hug, "your highness" the Duke walked to Raphael. "Thank you for taking care of my daughter. I know she can be a handful" the Duke thank him.

Raphael didn't reply to that, "please walk with me" the Duke offered, Raphael looked at me once more, I smiled letting him know it'll be okay. Raphael walked away with Helena's parents.

I looked back at George and Louis, they are glaring at me.

"Try something, I dare the both of you!" I yelled at them. "You think just cause we're with peoples, and especially your husband we're afraid" I took a step closer to them "you should be afraid."

"We know you took the files of our crimes" I didn't react "I knew you were going to find out. So try something and I'll expose you and make sure you'll all get a life sentence" I clenched my fists.

"What happened to our little obedient Helena? We miss that girl" Louis reached for my face but I slapped his hand away. "As I told your little spy, Olivia. I've changed" I said firmly.

"Let's go, I'm thirsty" George said and Louis followed him. I was left alone, I sighed "are you alright, Lady Helena?" Amina asked me, she looked very beautiful.

"Yes" I smiled "quarreling with my brothers. Like every siblings" I added, Amina laughed. "Where's your highness?" Amina asked "speaking with my parents. Don't know what, but I'll stay out of that."
