Chapter Three - My New Life As A Demon Villainess

Back then when I was still reading the novel, it was always from the heroine's perspective.

And I didn't know much about the villainess's thoughts and background.

Now, That I'm in her body I kind of feel sorry.

When I read the novel I always trash-talked Jazaila, I hated her for the reason of her being annoying.

Maybe it's because when reading the novel, I've thought of myself as the heroine and I was so irritated and annoyed of the villainess.

But I didn't know that on her side, her father was actually very kind, despite being the demon prince.

I also noticed where Jazaila's very scary aura came from and obviously it's from her dad.

I don't want to be on his list when he's not in the mood.

Like right now, I didn't know he has this stupid side.

Like, Really. Stupid.

Who the heck, would fall from a deep cliff?!

Just who?!

Well... the demon prince would.

Glaring at my father's face filled with sweat, he took a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his sweat.

And... who would act so calm after falling? Then again, I thought I was about to die.

I could've died not even reaching 16 yet.

Gosh!

"Hm?"

Father looked at me in question. Then he showed a smile.

No. That won't work with me anymore!

I'm mad. Don't talk to me.

I quickly avoided his look and look somewhere else.

Because of my actions, I heard him chuckle. I felt a cloth dapped in my face he was also wiping my sweat.

I slowly tried to look at him, there he smiled apologetically.

There is only one thing I'm envious of Jazaila and that is having a father like him.

In my past life, my dad died when I was around this age like Jazaila right now.

Still in months of birth.

Because I was a baby at that time, I couldn't remember him taking care of me.

I only get to see a picture of him which was put in front of our tv but when I was in 5th grade my mom throws it away.

All this time, there was only my mom and me but once I was in my 4th grade she changed.

She was invested in some bad habits and started to treat me invincible.

I only get to experience my mother's love for just a short time, I became independent at such an early age.

That's why somehow, I envy Jazaila.

In this life also, somehow, I got to experience being taken care of by a father.

But I didn't expect it to be short.

Even now, I am still shocked by what he said a while ago.

He said that we will get separated once we arrive.

That's when I remembered, Jazaila was an adopted child. The duke and the duchess found Jazaila in front of their door.

I felt sad for her about this.

I also felt sad for myself I want to spend more time with a father like him.

Though I don't want to drink what he gave to me a while ago... That was too disgusting.

But now I don't feel sleepy It's like I have a huge tube of energy in stock.

I feel alive.

"We're here"

I looked up at him when he spoke. I then turned to look at the place.

And yes, he's right we are here.

At the duke's mansion.

I don't know but I felt a pain in my chest.

Raising my hand, I try to reach my father's face.

"Hmng"

Hearing me spoke he quickly looked at me, when he saw my hands he stopped for a while and somehow, he looked like he couldn't believe something.

"Hm? What is it, princess?"

He asked as he carried me closer to his face.

Finally!

I pulled his chin closer to me as I tried to pull myself up, I quickly peck his cheek.

Satisfied, I smiled widely.

Well, he deserved it, he's too handsome anyway.

I tried to look back at him-

Pft-

W-What's with that look? Pft-Hahaha.

His eyes widened, and face in disbelief. Right now, he looks so far from being a demon prince.

When I saw him smiled, somehow I feel contented.

"Y-You shouldn't tease your dad, princess"

Sorry, dad but you can't force me, it's my revenge for forcing me to drink that disgusting drink.

We can hear crickets all over the place since it's already night... It was a relief no one saw us here.

"Oh, yeah I have to change this"

I look at him curiously when he suddenly shuts my eyes with his hand.

Then suddenly I saw a flash against the pitch dark and suddenly father opened my eyes again.

Greeted by my smiling father, I just stared at him in curiosity.

What did he just do?

"Now, my princess... you're gonna live your life here in the human world"

Hm?

This is strange, this is the first time I saw him looking sad.

"I've promised your mother that I will let you live your life here that's why be happy without father, okay?"

Jazaila's Mother?

Who is she? The novel didn't give info about her mother, she's a mystery in the story.

Only her father was provided in the story.

Who is her mother?

I flinched when father suddenly takes a step forward while still carrying me.

What... we're going now? Why so fast?

He stopped at the door of the duke's mansion.

Wait-

There are knights on both sides of the door, uhm can't they see us?

We're like here in front of them yet they are still frozen like a stone.

I look up at father when my eyes widened when I saw his hand raises then he suddenly wrote some sign in the air.

I quickly looked back at the knights-

(*Poof)

They're gone!

D-Did father just do that?

My heart started to beat faster when he raised his hand again but now he just showed out his palm.

(*Poof)

Wha-

A basket just popped out on his palm!

Wha-What?

Is he a magician or something?

I wonder if I could also do that.

I tried showing my palm and took a long breath and...

Nothing happened.

Tch, Like I could do that.

I was getting my hopes up for nothing.

I rolled my eyes in Irritation, no fun! I want to do it too.

I stopped when I heard a soft and quiet chuckle, I look up to my father and saw him having a good time.

Seeing him makes me feel satisfied that I acted like a kid.

My eyebrows raised when I felt his thumb on my forehead then suddenly it glows, my eyes widened from shock.

W-What is he doing to me now?

After a few seconds, it stopped, as father caressed my hair he slowly put the basket in front of the door.

He then stared at me.

"Jazaila, I gave you a very special gift once you reach 18 you'll know what it is"

What?

Wo-Woah!

I held my hands tight when I suddenly floated away from my father's arms I looked at him and I was right he was the one who did this.

His fingers seem like writing in the air he slowly placed me in the basket.

Fa-father, wait!

I looked at the spot he was in a while ago, but he's gone.

Where is he?

(*Knock Knock)

What? Who did that-

Father!

I finally saw him he's at the roof, when he saw me looking at him, he did some hand movements like he was sprinkling something.

When he was done he smiled at me.

"Live your life happily, my princess"

My eyes widened when I hear that.

"Igneria, get the door!"

"Yes, my lady!"

I heard some voices from inside that made me lose focus and looked at the door, but I remembered father so I looked back up-

But he's gone again.

He's really gone...

"(*creak)"

"Oh my Lord!"

"My lady, A baby... there's a baby!"

"What?!"

"Are you trick-"

I don't know but I didn't care about the voices right now, my heart feels pain.

This scenario is kind of familiar.

This feeling of being left is so familiar.

This pain is somewhat familiar-

I didn't notice tears were already forming in my eyes...

"wu-wuahh!"

"Oh gosh, the baby's crying"

"Dear, quickly pick her up she must be cold"

"wahhh!"

I cried. Once again I cried after a person left me.

Crying while having the duke family and maids rattle on how to calm me down the whole mansion was all hectic.

That night was the start, the start of my life as a villainess in the novel.

Now, let's start this.
