May The Villainess Cry
prologue
Mina stepped into the cold study, her father didn't even acknowledge her, but she was used to it.
Mina
Why did you call for me father?
He looked up from the papers...
Mina's father
You'll finish your studies in Europe.
Mina
Don't you have a heart father? It hasn't been that long since she died. How could you send me away?!
Mina's father
The death of a low-born like her doesn't have anything to do with our family.
Mina's father
You'll forget about her.
Mina
(This is enough. I can't anymore)
Mina
How could you insult her?
Mina
She was my only friend, MY ONLY!
Mina's father
I wouldn't have let you meet her if I knew who you were hanging out with.
Mina
Stop saying that!! She was better than all of you! What have you done to me except to bring me pain!? Tell me!!!
Her father glared at her, Mina glared back for the fist time in her life.
Mina
She was my family, the only one who cared for me all these years.
Mina's father
Don't talk to me like this Mina, it's not how I raised you.
Mina
You never did father. I raised myself.
Mina
You were never there in the first place, what do you know about me other than my name?
Mina's father
That's enough, go to your–
Mina
(You don't want to hear the ugly truth, but this has been my life, and you've made it worse.)
Mina
I begged you to help with, her operation.
Mina
If you only had helped a little.....just a little. She would have still been alive.
Mina didn't look at him, she held her cheek as her father realized what he had done.
Mina's father
You..you overstepped, I didn't—....
Mina
That's right father, this is who you are.
Mina
You heartless bas****.
Mina
Do you know how it felt when she was crying and asking me to stay?
Mina
Or when she was asking me desperately to do something? But I couldn't. She was dying and I couldn't!!!
Mina
I couldn't do anything for her aside from holding her hand.
Mina
IT WAS THE ONLY TIME I ASKEW FOR SOMETHING!!!
Mina
BUT YOU DID NOTHING! NOTHING!!!!
Mina's father
*steps back*
Mina
Do you feel guilty? Annoyed? It doesn't matter.
Mina ran out before he could catch her.
Mina's father
Mina! Come back here!!!
Mina's father
*Runs after her*
Mina's father
Mina stop we will talk about it!!
Mina
(There's nothing to talk about! She's gone!!!)
Mina
(I hate you. I hate you. I hate you!.)
Mina
(You ruined my life. You ruined everything.)
Mina
(Why was she the one to die? why not me?)
Mina's father
MINA!!! MINAAAA!!!
Mina's father
DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES!!!!
Mina
(what are you saying?)
Mina
(Mary must've been in so much pain...)
Mina
(Maybe this is the best thing that could've happened. )
Mina
(Will we see each other again if there is another life? Even if it's in hell or haven......)
The image of Mary stained her mind as she bleed, Mina smiled, closing her eyes.
Mina's father
Mina!! No! Wake up!!.....
chapter 1
The girl opened her eyes and saw an unfamiliar ceiling, she stood up from the bed with difficulty.
Eloise
(Hospital? Where am I?)
Eloise
(Why is the celling so flashy??)
Eloise
What kind of psycho put me in this room?
Eloise
Am I hallucinating...? Or is this a dream...?
She saw something move...
Eloise
(Who is that? Why is she starting at me?)
Eloise
Erm......You know it's rude to stare at someone for so long
Eloise
(Why is she imitating me?)
Eloise
(Wait, that's a mirror.......)
Eloise
(Logically that means it's my reflection, and I don't look like that.)
Eloise
(So I'm most definitely dreaming.)
Eloise
It seems I was reading too many novels with Mary.
Eloise
Now I'm even dreaming about them.
Eloise
Is this a lucid dream?
Eloise
Could Mary be here too?
Eloise
Everything looks and feels too real though.
Whispers reached her from outside the door, she listened in.
maid 1:........The lady went crazy yesterday
Maid 2: I know, you've heard too?
Maid 1: of course, everyone knows.
Maid 2: Even I, a maid could have behaved better than her.
Eloise
(Wow, I hate when people talk behind someone's back, even if I don't know that person it still feels irritating. )
Maid 2: But that's irrelevant now, since she's the only daughter of the Duke, I'd be surprised if she received punishment.
Maid 1: She's so arrogant. I wish someone could teach her a lesson.
Eloise
You two sound like two noisy mice, get your gossip elsewhere.
Eloise
At least have the courage to say that face to face.
Eloise
If you don't then at least shut up.
Eloise
Don't you have anything better to do?
Eloise
(I can't believe there are people like them even in my dreams. They're everywhere. )
Both maids: Y-Yes my lady!
The maids ran away frantically.
Eloise
(They were talking about me??)
Eloise
(I understand it's a dream and dreams don't make sense but why do I have to be insulted even in my dreams?)
Eloise closed the door, went inside, and lay on the bed feeling a pain in her head.
Eloise
I can't believe I already have a headache.
Eloise
(Who is it this time..)
Zena
I've come to help you wash up, my lady.
Eloise
Did I tell you that you could come in?
Eloise
then who gave you permission to come inside? want if I didn't want you to come?
Zena
It will not happen again.
Eloise
(Am I being too harsh? But kindness can't be used with a certain kind of people.)
The maid began brushing Eloise's hair, but she was doing it wrong...weird...
Like the pain and pulling was dome on purpose.
Eloise
What are you doing?
Zena
I'm brushing your hair my lady, like the usual.
Eloise stood and glared at her.
Zena
what's wrong my lady? Are you hurt anywhere? should I get some medication?
Eloise
(I've received this treatment before, it's nothing new.)
Eloise
Whom are you brushing the hair of? A dog?
Eloise
If you brush your hair like that then, I'm surprised you're not bald yet.
Eloise
Or do you do this only to me? "Your lady"?
Zena
It's a misunderstanding my lady, it was you who asked me to do this.
Eloise
( I could punch her.)
Eloise
Remind me then, what exactly did I ask for?
Zena
My lady: asked to always have a perfect appearance and if not I should help you by reminding you and maintain it.
Eloise
Look at me. Look, I look just fine as I am, you're not helping one bit, useless and hurtful, that's all you are.
Eloise
I mean you must be blind if you can't see it by yourself.
Zena
M-My lady, your behavior..
Eloise
Me? It's you who should mind your behavior.
Zena
T-this is not how a lady should talk.
Eloise
You are crossing the line.
Eloise
You, what's your name?
Eloise
Zena, you are a maid aren't you? I am the lady here. So why is it that I have to be treated like this while you should be respected by me?
Zena
M-My l-lady I apologize I promise it won't happen again.
Eloise
You keep saying that.
Eloise
why should I forgive you? If I forgive you will I forget all the things you did to me?
Eloise
(This is what I always wanted to tell them, my family, the people around me. Always.)
Eloise
(It's just a dream anyways...)
Eloise
I can just fire you can't I?
Zena
MY LADY PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!!
The vase broke into pieces on the floor.
The door opened and man stepped in, grabbing Eloise.
Eloise
(It hurts!........???)
Eloise
(Even before when the maid was brushing my hair it hurt.)
Eloise
(Can people feel pain in dreams?)
...
Even after what you did yesterday...you're still at it?
...
Haven't you learned your lesson!?
Eloise
.....(who is this idiot now?)
Eloise
Eloise.....Eloise Shereny???
Eloise
(THAT Eloise Shereny? the villainess??)
chapter 2
The villainess of the novel: shades of love.
Which she forced Mina to read because she was too enthusiastic about it.
Mary
Did you read it?! did you!? did youuuu!!!?
Mina
I'm about to be done.
Mary
The first kiss scene?
Mary
hehehe I know you too well.
Mary
Means you're actually at the start.
Mina
I don't mind spoilers.
Mary
I'll tell you all about the villainess because I like her!
Mina
The villainess? not the heroine?
Mary
Oh, right, you've just started so you won't understand.
Mary
but.... I really like her.
Mary
Ah! there are too many reasons!
Mary
I'll tell you the biggest reasons
Mary
When she died, while facing death and hatred, she didn't lower her head she had hope!
Mary
Rather than feeling hatred towards the villain who killed her she felt pity. At the end, she said they weren't that different after all.
Mina
But didn't she hate the heroine?
Mary
I would've hated the heroine too if I was her.
Mary
I wanted her to have a happy ending.....(She reminded me of you, Mina.)
Mary
I'll stop now! I can't spoil everything!
Mina
But you already spoiled me so much.
Mina
Don't be. You made me curious, I'll finish reading it by tomorrow.
Mary
No, don't stay up all night! It's bad for your health!
Mina
Don't worry about me, worry about yourself, you should go out and—......
Mary
You know......it's because I can't....
Mina
Who would even go out with this weather? It feels like an oven and you know I hate summer.
Mina
I'll be cooked alive if I stay out for too long.
Mary
Yeh right! you look like you ran a marathon every time you come here in summer.
Mina
Hey, now, don't make fun of me.
Mary
And you smell like a monkey too!!
Mina
Come here I'll tickle you to death!
That one thing that made Mary wish for the villainess to have a happy ending was...
It was simple, desperate even.
[Do you think that you'll get their love so easily? It's not possible, and I am the proof of that.]
The heroine did get their love easily, she just had to exist.
The villainess had all the right to hate the heroine, who got everything she wanted every time.
While the villainess only wished for one thing, which she never got.
Mina became that villainess.
Eloise
(I am Mina....just Mina..)
Eloise
(And this person....)
Red hair that almost resembled blood, and eyes that pierced like a beast sucking you inside.
Werty
Have you finally gone crazy.
Eloise
(Except, his are full of hatred right now so I can't get sucked in. )
Eloise
(Wow, I'd say he came from hell just because he's too hot for heaven's shake.)
Eloise
(For all I know in novels all good looking guys must root for the heroine. And the only one who looks like this in the novel is him, Werty Shereny.)
Werty
Eloise Shereny, after what you've done at yesterday's Ball you still plan to trouble father?
Do you know how many rumors are circulating around?
Werty
You dishonored the name Shereny by your stupid silly actions.
Eloise
*Clenches her fist *
Eloise
(Ah.....this is truly....just the same as my past life.)
Teacher: Just be honest Mina and everything will go well.
Mina
She and her friends provoked me first.
Mina
what I did was self defense.
Mina
(Good thing I know how to defend myself.)
Teacher: More than 5 students are saying you were the one who began the fight. What's more credible?
Mina
That's because those 5 "credible" students are all her friends.
Mina
But I guess you won't believe me anyway?
The teacher rolled his eyes, glaring.
Teacher: I've informed your father but since he's busy your brother will be coming. I hope you'll learn a lesson from this.
Mina
(No matter what I say you won't believe me.)
...
*opens the door angrily*
Mina
(He didn't even let me explain....)
Mina
(Just like father.....You really are his son.)
...
*Turns his back at her*
...
I apologize on her behalf sir, I'll make sure she learns a lesson.
Teacher: Ah...y-yes d-do so please.
...
We're going home now, Father will have a little discussion with you.
...
Don't you feel bad for always troubling us?
Werty
*grips her wrist tighter*
Eloise stepped back, forgetting the broken glass....
She stepped on it but held it in, it wouldn't matter to him anyways.
Werty
Don't you feel guilty for always troubling us?
Eloise
(You pice of trash, I can't believe this.)
Eloise
Don't you feel at least a little guilty for entering a lady's room like this?
Eloise
I've just woken up. Can't you see?
He looked at her clothes, realizing.
Eloise
Barging into my room first thing in the morning.....
Eloise
And continuously insulting me without even hearing my part of the story.
Eloise
Why don't you just use your hands at this point?
Werty
*let's go of her wrist.*
Werty
....I'll be waiting, prepare yourself and come eat breakfast.
Werty
I'll sent some maids t-
Eloise
(Not with my legs being in this condition.)
Eloise
I. WONT. BE . COMING. FOR. BREAKFAST.
Werty
father will be there.
Eloise
Then tell his grace that I don't feel well.
Eloise
Now, get out. This is MY room, my lord.
Eloise
Yes? my lord, please get out of MY room.
Eloise
*points at the door*
Eloise grunted walking carefully to her bed.
Eloise
You may come inside.
Eloise
Good, it seems you've learned your lesson.
Eloise
Do you know how to treat wounds?
Eloise
*points at her legs to show Zena*
Eloise
Can you treat this?
Eloise
SHHH!!!! No one has to know aside from us if I discover that anyone other than us, if I hear about it I will fire you.
