I will not die a Villainess's death

"Hey, where do you think you are going? You will be sleeping in my room tonight so I can keep an eye on you." Eve was not in a good mood currently.

Why was she so annoyed? Because of a damned human named Sara who dared to make a move on Elysia in front of her. Eve had no idea how she had been able to hold back her anger on their way back.

So far, Sara had taken every opportunity to touch Elysia. Sara had done it all, be it a hug or even holding hands.

And the worst part was that Elysia had allowed that to happen.

'I'm sure Elysia didn't even realize Sara was flirting with her. She's far too innocent in these regards.'

However, Eve persevered throughout it all because she understood how little time she would have with Sara and Elysia. Eve would have a justification once they arrived at the inn to split up Elysia and Sara.

Or, at least, such was the situation previous to Sara standing up and convincing Elysia to let her spend the night in her room.

"But I don't want to stay with you. You are scary and I don't like you. I would prefer to stay with Elysia over you."

Sara was whining and clinging to Elysia's arm like a parasite. Her breasts were flirtatiously pressing against Elysia's arm.

'Get your hands off my woman, you bitch.' The more Eve saw the more pissed she looked.

The only bright spot in this situation was that Elysia seemed to sense Sara's terrible attitude and tried to separate herself from her.

"I think you should remain with Eve tonight, Sara. My room will not have empty space because Sora will be staying with my familiar."

"ABSOLUTELY NOT!"

Eve's relief vanished like water in the sun when Elysia said.

Having Elysia's familiar in a room with her overnight was no better than having Sara. the familiar might have taken a childish human form but he was far older than Elysia in reality.

'He's also a male and really cute. Even I can tell that Lord Sorias's adult form will be a gorgeous male. I cannot allow Elysia to fall for him. They are too close as it is.'

The Crown Prince was already enough as a rival. Eve did not want to compete with a familiar as well.

Especially since most familiar-master also ended up as lovers in the end. This topic could not be spoken about in public so not a lot of people knew about it.

One had to go out of their way to find information like this. And children born from those pairs either ended up dying or were born completely humans.

"Eve, are you alright? I know you are worried about this case and you don't trust Sara but we will need her help. Try and get along with her for now."

Eve had never had an urge to get Elysia to shut up before. But Eve really wanted Elysia to shut up before she ended up doing something regretful.

"I have a solution for us all. You human, stay together with Elysia tonight. I will keep an eye on the half-ling. I need to have a few words with her so it all works out."

The only help in this situation came from the most unlikely source. Eve had not expected Lord Sorias to help her out.

But this was the perfect opportunity for her to spend some uninterrupted time with Elysia.

"Whatttttt??? No, I don't want to...Elysiaaaaa please do not make meeeeeee."

"Sara, I think it will be better if you cooperate with us for now. It's only for a few hours so you'll be alright."

Thankfully, Elysia finally gave up on trying to pair Sara up with Eve and accepted this new arrangement. And Sara could also not get out of this arrangement since she had no authority.

The beasts' faces dissolved into indifference as they watched the humans flee the area.

As soon as they approached the threshold of their chamber, the air around them altered and froze over.

Sara didn't even flinch when she felt the seal lock itself in place around her. She knew she was trapped in this room and she will remain trapped here for as long as her lord wanted her to be.

"Seeing as how you are not trying to break my seal, do you know who I am?"

"Of course. No beast in this world will not feel an instant pull when faced with you, Lord Sorias. I can recognize you even if this is our first meeting."

There was no humor and joy in Sara's voice. It was as cold as ice and matched Lord Sorias's tone.

It was the tone of a beast who knew it was in danger.

"I can smell the residual of bestial energy on you but you also smell human. You are a half-ling? Where are your parents?"

"Dead. My parents died long ago so I am alone in this world."

Lord Sorias nodded before he let the seal fall. It didn't seem like the half-ling meant him any harm. She had not tried anything dangerous so Lord Sorias decided to cut her some slack.

As soon as Sara was let go, she let her body fall to the ground and relaxed her body.

"Man, you sure are a scary king. Father did say you were scary but I never thought I would feel like this in your presence. My blood felt like it was freezing."

Sara's joyful personality returned as soon as she was released go, and the first thing she did was complain.

Her blood had seemed frozen in her veins, and her body had shuddered in horror.

"I find you unique as well. You are a beast but your body doesn't carry the same taint as ours. I would even go as far as to say that this world favors you and has blessed your life."

There was a feeling about Sara, one that asked Lord Sorias to protect her. It was quite like the world's chosen one.

Lord Sorias had never expected to find a beast that this world liked.

"Somehow I don't feel very blessed right now. My life had been nothing but trouble this far. First fighting to get acknowledged and not being hunted by unknown people."

"And yet, you survived it all and made your way to people who can help you out. Would you not call it luck?"

Sara scoffed at Lord Sorias's words. Her eyes held bitterness inside and her tone was flat when she answered.

"There are no coincidences in this world. The only reason I made it this far was that someone anonymous temple helped me survive this far. They also pointed me toward Elysia's location."

"And before you ask, I.DO.NOT.KNOW.WHO.THEY.ARE. So do not ask me anything more. I will go to sleep now."

For someone afraid of Lord Sorias minutes ago, Sara was showing commendable courage by falling asleep in front of him.

She knew that she could be killed off but she was choosing to believe in Elysia and her promise of help.

Lord Sorias also did not do anything to her that night. It passed quietly with nothing more to add.

The morning sun was bright. There were no clouds in the sky and the outdoor temperature was perfect for an outing.

In short, it was a pleasant (not good) day for Eve.

She might have laid down in the same bed as Elysia last night but sleep had been impossible to get this night.

Since the bed was not big enough, the pair had to snuggle against each other to make space. This had led to Eve touching Elysia in places she had never dared to before.

Her chest could still feel the warm imprint of Elysia's breasts against them.

As children, the pair had quite often slept in the same bed but it felt different now that they had grown up.

But Eve could tell that it was only her that was having insomnia due to this proximity to the object of their affection. Elysia was sleeping the night away without worries on her part.

'I can't tell if I'm in heaven or hell right now. I wish this night never gets over.'

But no one could stop the passage of time and the night came to an end. Eve had to regrettably pull away from Elysia and gain a head start on her day.

"Sister Eve, there you are. We were looking around for you the whole morning. We saved a portion of breakfast for you."

Eve nodded as she followed along to the breakfast table.

As promised, her portion of food was assembled on the table. It had gone cold but Eve did not mind eating leftovers.

"Did Elysia and her companions eat already? Elysia was not in the room when I came to check up on her after freshening up."

Eve had gone to check up on Elysia roughly after an hour of walking up but Elysia had not been in her room. She must have woken up at some point and decided to start her day.

"Well, we only had one serving left by the time their party woke up and decided to come down for breakfast. So naturally, we asked them to eat out in the town."

Eve felt her heart sink when she heard those words. At the same time, her expression darkened.

She hated how the temple treated Elysia for something that was not even her fault. But no matter how much Eve tried to help Elysia out, the people never listened to her.

"A-Ah! That reminds me. That de-I mean, Elysia did leave a message for you. She asked you to meet her in the town plaza for your afternoon engagement."

The sisters flinched as soon as they saw Eve's darkening expression.

The sisters liked Eve since she had a comforting aura. There was just something about her that gripped everyone as soon as they met her.

She was different from Elysia in that regard who only gave out a revolting aura.

But there were times when Eve looked demonic as well. It was at times like these when Eve lost her temper that she no longer looked like a calamity.

Thankfully, mentioning Elysia usually knocked Eve out of her mood.

"I see. I guess I should head out now so that I do not miss Elysia. I will eat out as well so don't wait for me."

The sisters watched Eve go back to her room. Her food lay on the breakfast table, untouched.

"What should we do with all this left-over food now? Should we donate it to the poor of this area?" the first sister asked.

​ They had lied to Elysia when they had said that they had no food left. But no one wanted to show kindness to Elysia.

"Don't be stupid. Kelvin has no poor sectors. They were all resettled when this town was rebuilt. It'll be better for us to reheat the food and eat it in the afternoon."

They did not hear the halted footsteps, nor did they notice Eve who had decided to listen in on their conversation.

'These people! I cannot believe their audacity. But will deal with them later. I should go out and apologize to Elysia for their behavior.'

Eve knew it was not her fault. She knew that she could not control how people behaved toward Elysia.

But she still wanted to let Elysia know that she had Eve on her side.

And then there was a date that Elysia needed to take Eve out on.
