Even Though I’m the Villainess, I’ll Become the Heroine! - Chapter 1

The sound of the door opening was heard behind her back.

Perhaps she hurried up the stairs, since her breathing was also hard.

“Hey, Cha Min-joo!”

‘I looked back at the call of the voice. I saw a face that was so hateful that my teeth grit.’

“Cha Min-joo, w-wait!”

The woman who found Min-joo at that height began to tremble and turned pale.

Her lips were red and thick, calling her name.

The woman had an angelic face, as if all the loveliness of the world were put together.

Her cheeks were flushed whenever she was shy, and her voluminous eyelashes all went well with her.

Of course, that face didn’t look lovely to Min-joo.

“You’re not really trying to fall off, are you? You just sent a letter to surprise me, right?”

The woman took the letter out of her arms.

It was a letter left by Min-joo like a suicide note to curse her.

The face of the woman, who held the letter lightly with her index finger and thumb as if she were picking up a dirty object, turned redder and redder.

“Do you think you’re gonna scare me if you do this?”

“Lee Su-yeon.”

Min-joo called her name flatly. Su-yeon’s shoulders trembled.

Her eyes were filled with self-pity, turning a blind eye to all her misdeeds.

The anger that lay deep in Min-joo’s stomach wriggled dynamically.

A resentful heart grew angry, and anger soon resigned.

There was no one beside Min-joo anyway. No parents or friends to protect.

‘Do I need to live while grinding my teeth?’

‘Can I dream of the future happily as long as I pass this period without a hitch?’

Min-joo shook her head while asking herself questions.

“You know, I thought about it.”

Min-joo did not have the confidence to live now. There were no regrets for not continuing such a ditch-like life.

If life was a novel, she wanted to finish this book and leave for the next story.

She wanted God to do so if he existed.

“If I were to be born again, I would love to be born in the same world as you. Let me be born and raised in the same place as you.”

Every time she continued, Su-yeon trembled less.

Min-joo smiled and whispered the oath she had hoped for.

“So that I can take my revenge on you.”

The wall touching her back was very low. The height was easy to jump off.

Su-yeon must have noticed it, too, and began to run with a pale face.

“Wait! I said wait!”

“Listen, Lee Su-yeon.”

Knock, knock.

At the sound of someone knocking on the door, Dahlia turned her head.

After finishing up, the maid also stepped back.

Appearing at the open door was an old butler.

“Miss, the Count is waiting. When you’re ready, we will show you to the reception room.”

“I got it so get out.”

Dahlia deliberately threw a cold answer.

There were also faces she could build that were as bitter as possible.

“What?”

But the butler looked surprised. Dahlia clicked her tongue because she thought it was a disaster.

‘What is it? Should I have thrown that candlestick? I should have done something bad, you know!’

This was the greatest difficulty given to Dahlia at present.

Dahlia Margaret was the most beautiful and evil woman in the Empire, but Cha Min-joo was not a wicked woman.

She was just a high school student who devoted herself to her studies in a normal and calm manner.

I couldn’t regret not seeing a single weekend drama because I was so focused on studying.

If she’d watched a soap opera, she’d know how much evil she’d have to do in this situation.

For her, all that was bad was raising her eyes or screaming.

“My, can’t you hear me? Get out!”

Dahlia, whose face was half-red, squeezed out her voice.

“Oh, I see. I’m sorry, Miss.”

The butler hurried out of the door and left. Even after being left alone in the hallway, the confusion in his mind continued.

‘The rumor that the lady has become weird is true! Even at the age of five, she couldn’t stand it without throwing things.’

The butler groped his forehead with a stunned look.

There was still a scar that had been struck by a candlestick that Dahlia threw for knocking on the door while she was taking a nap at the age of five.

It was unbelievable that the girl, who had such high pride on her back with the power of the Count’s family, suddenly became gentle.

‘In addition, on the day when an unwanted sister came in like today, she would have had to run wilder…’

The butler shuddered lightly, imagining badly what was about to happen.

* * *

Dahlia, finally finished dressing up, managed to calm herself down and set out into the hallway.

The butler, who had stood still in the hallway, found her and came straight up.

‘I was a bit annoyed earlier, but it’s kind of like that…’

Dahlia hesitated to look at the butler’s face.

As if to prove his age, her feelings of guilt increased when she saw his gray hair and wrinkled forehead.

“Dahlia!”

That’s when a loud voice hit her ear. Dahlia was startled and smacked herself up.

Someone opened the door and started stomping.

It was her father, Count Videl Margaret.
