My Man Is A Villain, So Am I!

There was once the villainess who yearned for her family's love.

"Oppa, this is my birthday. I'm really, really happy to be out here and meet you." the little girl held on tightly to her big brother's shirt, she was skinny, her hair was dry. If one thing was beautiful, it was her smile and genuine feeling toward her brother.

"Ah..." but it wasn't the same for her brother, avoiding eye contact with her and trying to shake her hand off him.

"Oppa, I want that cake--"

"Is that your sister? I thought she is blonde!" her brother's friend looked at her in disgusting eyes, their gazes at her were like she was a rat coming out of the sewer. Even her brother was there and yet he didn't protect her and just played along with her.

"I'm Tristan-oppa's little sister--" she didn't finish her sentence yet just a little sound of his other sister sobbing, he pushed her on the ground and ran to that other sister who wasn't even his real sister.

Her eyes shook, even tears were in shame to come out at that moment because she knew even the tears of her won't bring him back.

Marinette remembered that scene in her mind, it was a trauma listening to her brother's friend mocking her while she was on her ground with her knee bleeding.

She looked at her brother rushed to Diana and ordered all the maids to bring the doctor to treat her right away but no one cared about her.

Days by days, it felt like she lost something from her. But the word 'Lose' shouldn't be used in that case because she never had anything in her life except a dirty cushion in the dark basement under the duchy and the iron bar she used for looking at the outside world.

Years and years later, she tried, failed, yet tried again, tried, cried, got up, endured, and then a failure slapped right in her face.

"Oppa, I painted this for you. It is me and you." another year came, it was her birthday again, she rushed to her big brother as soon as she was allowed to leave her basement.

She handed over the painting to her brother, but he didn't even take a glance at it.

He walked past her after saying "Stop calling me Oppa."

Her eyes shook terribly, a creaking sound was heard again.

Even those maids were laughing mockingly at her, her brother heard that but again, he ignored her. Her existence was nothing to him, and this house also treated her like she wasn't worth their attention and the salary to take care of her.

She was just an abandoned duke's daughter, outside the mansion, no one even knew about her existence.

That was only the brother's part, the father wasn't much of a difference.

"Papa." "Papa..." "Pa...pa..." no mattered how she called her father, the best he could do to respond to her calling was a glance of hate.

"Tristan, send a teacher for her tomorrow, let the teacher teach her the manner of the noble."

"Yes, father."

"If nothing important, please refrain anyone coming into my room today."

"Yes--" Tristan almost said the same thing again but was cut off by Marinette.

"I hope you do a good work as well today papa--father." the doll she spent half of the year making for her chance to come out this year, she clenched it to subside her pain as she walked away.

On her way back to her basement, all the sounds of praising and laughing filled the hallway. If a female lead existed, then Diana must be the female lead.

And Marinette was the villainess.

+++

"Lady Marinette, you're awake." in the wide room with the big bed inside, a lady with pure white long hair tangled all over the bed, her hands were placed on her stomach, she opened her eyes responding to the maid calling the familiar name.

Her purple eyes were opened to a whole new world, the world she never imagined she would be in. The portrait frames were made of gold, the bed with the soft texture, the sleeping dress which was more expensive than her apartment.

"Anna...?" seeing the black hair and yellow eyes of a woman wearing the maid uniform, she called out that name in hesitation.

"My lady, you're finally awake." the maid looked happy and teary seeing her lady waking up, this maid was the only one coming to check on her the whole time.

"Wasn't Ella supposed to be my personal maid? Why are you here?" she got up from the bed asking the maid while walking toward the mirror at the make-up table slowly.

"The thing is..." the maid answered her with hesitation didn't want to hurt her lady's feeling.

But then she was shocked when she saw the tear of the woman in the reflection of the window start to fall and roll down on the scar on the right side of her face.

"My lady!!"

"Anna..." Anna was waiting in anticipation to answer her lady.

"Nevermind." she dropped the question she was going to ask because all her answers had been answered with just a glance of the diamond engagement ring on her finger.

She picked a necklace from the drawer and handed it over to Anna.

Anna was surprised with her hand trembling with the weight of the necklace embedded with diamond and gold and especially the smile of the woman in front of her who rarely smiled at people.

"This is your reward. I could dress on my own, so you might rest."

"My lady, I can't accept this..."

"I didn't give you to sell it, so don't feel guilty."

"Then...what do you mean by reward?" Anna bowed at Marinette ninety-degree with her hands together giving the necklace back to Marinette.

Marinette put her soft hand on Anna's palm gently caressing the precious necklace.

"Wear it!"

"Pardon?"

"You're my maid now. My maid has to wear something fancy." she said while turning herself back to the drawer full of pieces of jewelry blinding her eyes.

And the scene of the fire crossed her mind, she put back those pretty jewelry. The thing called money, wealth, such that thing was kinda not what she desired to get. The sadness filled her eyes as closed the drawer.

"!!!!????"

In the end, Anna wore the necklace out of Marinette's room, the knight in the mansion almost arrested her for stealing but once they saw the rose in her shirt's pocket, everyone glared at her with envy.

The rose represented the Mortel dukedom, only a few workers could get it.

But that wasn't the normal rose on Anna, it was fused with magic.

And the only who could do that, purple rose too at that was the first daughter of duke Jellal, Marinette Mortel.

Back in the room,

Marinette (Sun-hee)'s POV

It felt real. From the eyes to the toes, I saw everything from these purple eyes, the long silky hair laid down to my waist blew touching the elbow lightly.

The hair was white, it felt like it was out of the world.

HAHAHAHA

I couldn't believe it.

'I'm Marinette, the villainess.'

Her face was soft, her red pinky lip, everything about her was beautiful even the scar on her face.

It was unbelievable when comparing me and her, I had black hair and black eyes but she was like a walking gem in this world, Anastasia.

Talking about the world, I rushed to the balcony of this room.

It was true, everything was the same as the author described, the knight in the Mortel dukedom, sparring sword with each other, and a commander--

"Tristan?!"

Huh!?

I ran back inside my room and closed the door of the balcony.

I really made eye contact with him, the heir of the Mortel dukedom.

The best brother of the novel...

The same white hair and the same purple eyes, that man was admired by every reader and the dream man of the women in the empire.

But to Marinette, he was just her brother in name. There was never a time when he called her sister with love or anything. Even calling her name was difficult for him.

Huff huff

'What is happening?'

My heart felt like it was stabbed right through it, the body was like being burnt alive.

It was really painful to the point I fell on the floor with my head facing the ceiling, I rolled around to subside this burning and agony pain inside the body.

Casting a rose on Anna a moment ago, I was just testing the magic of this dukedom.

The death roses magic, that was what it called. I used it without thinking about the side effect.

I never knew it was painful like that.

After a while, the pain disappeared little by little. Even getting up was a difficult task for me.

I put my hand on the doorknob to help myself get up

I finally regained my composure, I looked at the clock with sweat on my forehead, the hand of the clock pointed at eight.

Of all time I had to wake up, it had to be this.

The day after the emperor engaged me to the second prince of the empire, I knew it just from the engagement ring on my finger.

'I'd better be preparing myself quick ready for breakfast.'

After spending a long time preparing myself, and the chair and the table in the dining room really disappointed me.

Four people in the family and only three chairs were prepared.

They were talking and comforting Diana a moment ago but when I walked in, everybody stopped talking, the brother and the father glared at me just like I was a fly in their eyes while the half-sister turned her head to the other side looking all mad at me.

"My apology, my lady. I really don't know--"

"You don't have to, nanny. And you, go get the chair yourself."

'Wow...'

I should pay no mind to such people, I was already used to this kind of word.

Compared to sitting on the floor eating in my last life, just going to get my chair myself was nothing but,

"Head chef, prepare my food. I want to eat outside." I walked past Tristan to the chef then walked out of the room treating them the same way they treated Marinette.

Even a glance at their handsome faces, I didn't bother to do so.

Marinette's eyes used to be full of affection but now it was just coldness and nothing.

A moment later, my food was delivered to me.

I really couldn't believe it, how could I still see them from here?!

They were still glaring at me with their sharp gaze.

Seriously, just ignore me. I didn't need your love or anything.

Instead of giving them attention, I should think of something for my future in Anastasia.

The world with magic, the world ruled by three main factors, the royal family, the church, and the demon king.

This world could live in harmony because of the promise the empress made with the demon king many millenniums ago.

So I didn't have to worry about one thing, the world won't come to the end and if the case of a demon king coming out of his realm, the male lead will kill him with the plot amour.

Talking about the male lead, he soon will annul the engagement with me when he got all the support from the citizen and his influence rival the tyrant emperor.

The love between him and Diana will be supported from all across the empire after seeing all of their hardworking and in the end, Marinette was abandoned again.

That should be the best route for me, just waiting to be abandoned but no, I didn't have to wait that long.

The thing I said about giving Marinette the happy ending, I will give it to her.

I'll annul the engagement with the male lead and then marry him off with the female lead, gave them a happy ending then I'll find the happy ending for Marinette.

Memory Magic: Ultimate Art Of Memory

Ack!

Again, the pain inside my head was the same as the thing that happened back on earth.

Haa...

The only thing different was how I could see the magic circle around me.

I didn't remember anyone using such magic in the novel, and what was memory magic anyway?

Step step

Was it that person who used the magic on me?

I got up from the table and stared into the man's red crimson eyes.

His eyes were indifferent looking at me, as expected of the emotionless second male lead.

The red-haired guy, Flynn Alfonso, and the knight who was sent to Marinette by the male lead.

"His royal highness request for your attendant, here's the invitation." I could sense someone's gaze in this direction.

What did he want with me anyway? Shouldn't he use this time to console his childhood friend?

"It's an honor." I gradually accepted the invitation, I was taught by the teacher picked by Tristan, I needed to pretend I know the courtesy.

I could see the suffering future ahead of me but I already died once, I'll live this life without regretting anything until Marinette returns.

Right, I should do that. Even in the world in which the grim reaper will be taking my life at any moment. It will still be better than that world...the world which nothing left for me, for Sun-hee there.
