˗ˏˋChoosing The Villainess As My Mother ࿐ྂ
»»🦋»»
Althea Melody (POV)
Time has passed and today... Is a very special event for me and my beloved lady.
I've been spending quality time with my beloved lady for... I don't know how long, but I love staying and being with her, she's so different from how the story described her to be.
And lately... There are suspicious things that are happening around me.
Like how my father in this world would look at my beloved lady Cynthia with such loving eyes.
And how my beloved mother Cynthia looks at my father with such eyes, it's as if... Something lovey-dovey is going on without my knowledge.
Or am I just assuming things?
But I've been observing both of them, father would disappear at night... But maybe he just has something to take care of,
But then when I'm at my beloved lady's villa, she too, would disappear at night while wearing a nightgown, I don't think it's appropriate for someone who is about to sleep and wearing a nightgown will go outside in the middle of the night... Just to meet my father, right?
And yes, I followed them once... With Keilbuss.
My father does go out at night to meet my beloved mother Cynthia near the lake, but both of them would just disappear into thin air, I don't know where they're going but all I know is that...
Something fishy is going on with them or am I just assuming? But their development... Is it just too soon? Or is it for the better?
Well, it doesn't matter, as long as my beloved mother is not hurt, then everything is fine... As long as the people I care for are safe and are not hurt, then everything will be just fine.
Anyway, today's event is very special.
Mother's business in the capital is a success, the tailor that I'm in contact with has been showing success too, and the dresses and suits are the talks of society.
And right now, Mother has invited a lot of nobles to celebrate the success of her business, I'm happy that little by little Mother is building her image and reputation in society once again.
But... Why did she have to invite her?
" Althea," Auriane says while she smiled innocently at me.
( Why did Mother have to invite her? My older sister from the real world.)
" Woah, I can't believe that Lady Auriane is being escorted by the crown prince~, " A lady says and the others just nod their head with a smile on their face while Auriane, my older sister from the real world was just staring at me with a smile on her face.
( What is she planning? )
" Althea, it's good to see you again..." Auriane says with a smile on her face.
" It's good to see you too, Lady Auriane," I said while looking directly at her eyes.
" You see, I've been thinking a lot of things since the last day we talked," Auriane says and I remembered the day I talked to her in the alleyway.
" I've been thinking a lot of things in my head about what must I do, what is the right thing to do, and how I should do it," Auriane says while I just stared at her.
( What is she planning?? )
( Is she planning to ruin the party that my beloved mother prepared for today's event??! )
( If that's what she's going to aim for, then I won't let that slide! I won't let her ruin my beloved lady's party! )
" What do you want? " I said while I was staring at her and she smiled at me again with that suspicious look on her face.
" First, I want us to have a private conversation, just between the two of us, Lady Althea," Auriane says
" I do not wish to make lots of unwanted eyes while we talk, so I suggest that we go to a quieter place. " Auriane says and my eyebrows crossed.
" And what makes you think that I'd follow you? I'm not a fool, you're already suspicious of me. " I said and she smiled.
" We're just going to have a conversation, just between you and me as a sister, this is very important for me. " Auriane says
" What I'm going to say to you will likely going to be the biggest change of plot in the story, so we must have our conversation in a private place. " Auriane says with a serious facial expression.
" That is only if you're interested to hear what I'm going to say to you," Auriane says, making me think for a second.
( Something that could change the plot of the story...)
( What exactly is she planning to change?? )
( I'm... Curious to know.)
" Fine," I said
" Where do you want to go? " I said and she then smiled at me.
" Follow me, I think I know where we can talk." She says and then she walked away from me.
( Why do I feel nervous? )
I then placed my right hand on my chest, I'm feeling excited and curious about what exactly she was planning and nervous about what she was about to do.
I followed my older sister who's possessing the female lead's body, we went to a quiet place.
And right now, both of us were standing on the bridge and I'm facing her back.
" So? What do you want to talk about? " I said while I crossed my arm and she then turns around to face me.
" Well..." She says
" I've been thinking about what you said before," She says and I just raise an eyebrow at her.
" And I have made my decision as to what I should do and the right thing to do." She says
" Just get to the point, stop beating around the bush," I said
" Well, " she says, and then she started walking towards me and when she was right in front of me, she smiled.
" I think this is for the best, " she says
( What is best? )
" Fern... " She says, calling me by my real name.
" As I thought for a long time... Your existence is truly... " She says
( Truly what? )
" Your existence is truly an obstacle to achieving my goal. " She says
" So? What are you going to aim for then? " I said
" Kill me? " I said with a smile while I was crossing my arm but she smiled.
" Kill you? " She says
" I don't think it's a bad idea, " she says
" If it means that you wouldn't interfere in the story again. " She says and then she wrapped her hands around my neck, choking me.
" I told you, didn't I?! " She says
" That without Cynthia becoming the villain of the story, there wouldn't be a hero, there wouldn't be a female lead! " She says
" You're... Fucking insane, sister. " I said and then I stomped on her feet to get away from her.
" Where do you think you're going fern?! " She says and then she grabbed me from my hair and pulled me back towards her.
" Aw! Let go! " I said
" I fucking warned you so many times to never interfere, right?! But you don't listen to your older sister! " She says while still holding onto my hair.
" So this is what you will get from disobeying me! " She said and then she slammed my head on the railings of the bridge.
( Shit.)
( She's going to kill me at this rate! )
( My big sister who I loved so much in the real world... She's like this? )
I then placed my hand on my head and when I looked at it, there was blood on my hand and so I looked at her.
" Why are you so fucking obsessed with the whole happy ending?! They're not just characters! They are real people you dumbass! " I said but she looks so out of it.
" I don't care anymore if you're my little sister! If you get in my way of achieving what I want..." She says and choked me once again.
" If it means killing you will make you disappear from this world... I'll do it without a second thought! " She says
" Ar-argh... Let g-go of me, you i-insane bitch." I said but she only smiled at me.
" No one is here, no one will help you, even if you shout for help, no one is here to fucking save you! NO ONE will know if you die right here! " She says
( Shit shit shit )
" Sister...*sniff* are you r-really going to k-kill me? " I said faking a tear but she smiled, it seems like my acting won't stop her from doing what she wants.
" Oh, fern. That act of yours, you can't fucking fool me like how you fool those characters I have created, they're all stupid anyway. " She says with a smile.
" But you? " She says with a smile.
" It's better if you disappear right here from now on, " she says
" Ah, now that I remembered it, " she says
" Do you know how to swim, Fern? " She says with a smile on her face and my eyes widened when she let go of me.
I saw her expression, she was staring at me with a smile on her face as if she have won the battle, and I'm falling off the bridge.
. . .
" Ah, oops~ I forgot that my little sister doesn't know how to swim." Lady Auriane says with a smile on her face.
" Well, that's none of my business..." She says
" It would be better if she doesn't come back alive and just dies right there..." She says while looking at the water.
Watching Althea drowning in the water, couldn't even ask for help to save her.
