˗ˏˋChoosing The Villainess As My Mother ࿐ྂ
»»🦋»»
Althea Melody (POV)
I'm here outside of Father's house, I'm waiting for a visitor, a friend that lives across my mother Cynthia's villa.
As far as I could remember, her name is Lady Avie, the one with a chubby and fluffy ginger cat that she name him as Finn.
While I was waiting, finally, a carriage stopped right in front of the villa's gate.
" Lady Avie, from the household of Del Rosario family has arrived! "
( Ah, she's here.)
I then saw Lady Avie stepping outside from her family's carriage and she's wearing a light pink dress matching the color of her hat.
" Lady Avie, good to know that you have come here safely." I said with a smile as she was standing right in front of me.
" Yes, I made sure that my cat Finn is also safe, I don't want my dad to eat Finn if I leave him alone in our home." Lady Avie says as I remembered what she have told me before when I meet her.
( Ah ... Good thing she still don't have any idea of what her father actually mean by those words.)
" And your villa is pretty massive and beautiful, if I may say." Lady Avie says as she's still holding her fluffy big cat in her arm.
" Yes, it's my father's home." I said with a smile.
" Come on, I'll show you around! " I said with a smile as she nod her head.
" You can leave Finn to the maids, they'll take care of him while you and I will explore my father's villa! " I said as Lady Avie nod her head with a smile.
" As you wish." Lady Avie says as she then give her cat to Miss Vera, the lady butler of this house and the one that father trusted, well, butlers are supposed to be a male, but Vera is a female butler, she's like the head housekeeper in here.
" Please take care of my cat, his name is Finn and if he's hungry, please just give him milk, Finn loves milk very much." Lady Avie says as Vera nod her head.
After that, I then grabbed Lady Avie's hand and we went inside the house.

" This is our library." I said after I shower her the other parts of the room in father's villa.
" Oh, your library is half bigger than ours." Lady Avie says as I smiled at her.
" And I have a collection of fairy tale books right here in the corner." I said as I showed her the way.
" These are collected by my dad, he thought that I might like reading fairytale stories." I said as I showed her one particular book that I really like.
" And this is the book that I really like reading. " I said as I showed it to her.
" Hmm? But this is not a fairy tale book. " Lady Avie says as I smiled.
" Correct. " I said
" Why are you reading this book? Are you perhaps interested in magic? " Lady Avie says
" Well, I can't say that I'm interested in it, but I just really like reading this book, it gives knowledge and quite helpful if I may say. " I said as she nod her head.
" Interesting. " Lady Avie says
" What's interesting? " I said
" Well, mostly nobles like us around our age, they don't usually read books about magic. " Lady Avie says
" They don't? " I said
" Well, most nobles, I'm not saying all of them. " Lady Avie says as I nod my head.
" But isn't learning magic is good? There are lots of magicians or wizards, even witches around us, most people here uses magic. " I said as she nod her head.
" Well, yes, but mostly half of the female nobles in the society or in this empire doesn't have much interest in magic. " Lady Avie says
" That's just base on what I have observed actually, since I've been going out to socialize other noble kids around my age too. " Lady Avie says
" Mostly the only female nobles who are interested in learning more about magics are those who are blessed to have mana flowing inside them, the rest? " Lady Avie says
" Well, let's just say they're more focus on looking graceful and all, since if they are not blessed with mana, there's only one path they could choose from. " Lady Avie says
" Either become the lady of their household, be a good lady like—that has good reputation and background, always socializing with the other nobles in the society and then get married and give birth to a heir to the man who you married with." Lady Avie says
" Oh... " I said
( Well, as expected in this era... Political or a loveless marriage is pretty common in here.)
( Even a 12 years old girl can already get married to a guy who's way much older than her by five or six years... That's crazy)
( Its even more creepy and crazy if it's a 12 years old girl and she's getting married to someone who's 28 years old! )
( Man... If that happens, I really need to contact the FBI's ! )
" But since you're the Archduke's daughter, Willard Vaughan Crawther, the younger brother of King Leonid Vapor Crawther, who's currently the king of the Khisfire Elzura Kingdom." Lady Avie says
" Let's just say that, maybe you have the talent to pursue and learn magic too after all, your father is the strongest Arch mage that ever existed in the entire continent. " Lady Avie
( Has she been researching my families background?? )
" And he's also the pride of the Khisfire Elzura Kingdom, I've done my research if you're wondering how I know all of this." Lady Avie says as she smiled at me.
" I was just really curious when I received a letter and didn't know that the letter was actually from you, well, until I have read the letter, now I know." Lady Avie says as I smiled at her.
" But Avie, if you were to choose what you like to do in your life, what would you choose? " I said
" I'd like to open a shelter for pets. " Lady Avie says
( Ehh? )
" A shelter for pets? " I said as Lady Avie nod her head.
" Yes, for pets. " Lady Avie says
" Why? Is it because you like pets? " I said
" Yes and I love them because they're all cute too. " Lady Avie says
" Besides, in that way, Finn wouldn't be lonely anymore if I could actually build my own shelter for pets. " Lady Avie says
" Then why don't you make it come true? " I said as Lady Avie looked at me in disbelief.
" What? I can't, my mom won't let me. " Lady Avie says
" A noble lady like me must not do such a thing, my mother have already carved a path for me and I can't change that direction. " Lady Avie says
" Bringing honor to my family is my duty not to become a laughing stock for the society and to bring shame in my family's name." Lady Avie
" So even if I want to build a shelter for pets, I cannot do that as I am not allowed to do such a thing, my family might throw me away." Lady Avie says as I nod my head.
" Well, it's a choice that you make in life I won't stop you from that, it's out of my business." I said with a smile as Avie smiled back.
" By the way Lady Althea, may I ask you a question? " Lady Avie says as I nod my head.
" Yes, you may Lady Avie." I said
" There's a few months left until the academy is going to open its door, have you gone to the holy church to get blessed? " Lady Avie says
" Well, my dad told me that I have to go to the holy church first to get blessed by the goddess before I would enter the academy." I said as Lady Avie smiled.
" Great! I'll be going to the academy too, I'm happy to know that you're going to attend the academy as well. " Lady Avie says as I smiled to her.
" Will see each other more often at school. " I said
" That's right and I can't wait to go to the academy! Especially the upcoming birthday celebration of the second young prince of this empire. " Lady Avie says as I nod my head.
" Have you seen the face of the second Prince, Lady Althea? " Lady Avie says as I shake my head.
" No? Not yet, but maybe in his birthday celebration maybe I have the chance to see the prince face. " I said as she nod her head.
" I have heard the rumors that the second Prince is really handsome, like his older brother. " Lady Avie says as I feel disgusted.
" The older brother of the second Prince? You think he's handsome? He may have a pretty face but that doesn't mean he have pretty personality. " I said as Lady Avie was just staring at me
" What? " I said
" Have you meet the crown prince before? " Lady Avie says as I shake my head as no
( I didn't get to see what the crown prince face really looked like, rather then looking for him, I'm not interested in him.)
( He's the least person that I want to see and be with my mother Cynthia, hmmp!!! )
