Fate or Faith

"My Lady it's time to get ready for the banquet." said a maid, as she started to brush my hair which whereas dark as the night sky.

I looked at myself in the mirror and I must say in this life I have got quite a pretty appearance, even though I am just 8 years old I can say that I am going to be quite a beauty in the upcoming years.

"My lady, My lady.." said a maid with a restless expression on her face.

"Yes! what were you saying?" I said as I looked at her and I was already able to guess what the situation is. I smiled towards her as I rose from my seat and went towards the room located at the end of the corner.

I opened the door only to see two helpless maids and a little naughty boy aka my younger brother.

"Ashton," I said as that boy turned his head towards me with a bright smile as his green eyes meet mine, his brown hair shined because of the sunlight. Anyone would say that He was an Angel for a second but actually he is a little devil.

"Big sister Irene you are here! I missed you so much!!!" He said as he ran towards me and gave me a tight hug.

Whenever I felt like this life is a Dream this little devil makes me realize that it isn't a dream but a reality that I have already started living in and, without realizing 8 years have passed, and this little brother of mine is going to turn 5 today.

But that doesn't change the fact that he is a devil I feel bad for the maid's who look after him.

"Ashton why aren't you ready yet, it's your birthday today," I said as I patted his head.

"I don't like the clothes they are girly," Ashton said.

"Huh, girly How come??" I said as I looked at his clothes. It was a pair of light pink tuxedos with some flowery embroidery in them.

" This isn't girly at all and I think it will suit my baby brother, you see pink doesn't look good on everyone so you are special," I whispered the last part in his ear.

"Really!!" He asked with his big puppy eyes.

My brother is indeed cute, I thought as I nodded my head and singled the maid's to dress him up.

"My Lady, you too need to get ready." a maid said. I nodded my head and followed her into my room.

After trying tons of dresses finally my overall look was completed with a light green off-shoulder gown and a hairpiece in the shape of a star. After that little makeup was applied to my face, it took almost 2 hours for me to get ready.

"It's so tiring..." I said to myself but then again today is an important day except for Ashton birthday it's also the day when the novel officially starts.

Today is the day when the three main characters meet for the first time and also the day when the doom of Winter Family begins.

Today the novel ' Who is the villainess?' that I am living in starts. The novel was a tragic love story about Violet Mèdèè Carter the female lead, Alan Uziel Stewart the male lead and of course the villainess Rose Athene Willson which took place in this once peaceful Solar Empire. But as the story progressed the peace was soon broken and bloodshed started.....

"My Lady you look so pretty!!" said a maid. "Yes, no one could compare to your beauty." said another maid.

"Hehe, thanks it's all because of your efforts," I said with a bright smile. I rose up from my seat and exited my room.

"My Daughter looks so pretty today!" Raymond Zissel Winter aka My Father said.

"Thanks a lot, but I think daddy looks more handsome!!" I said as I looked at him he didn't have a muscular built like the other daddies mentioned in novels but had a face anyone would be fond of.

" Haha really," Father said as he giggled.

"Father, are you going to escort me to the hall?" I asked.

"I wish I could but you see I have a little business so your mother and I will enter a little later. So I was thinking if you could escort your brother and enter the hall before us." Father said as he patted my head.

A little business I wonder what it is but right now entering the hall is more important, "Sure I would do that." I said. Father smiled towards me and went towards his office which was located on the other side of my room.

"Brother Are you ready it's time to enter," I said as I waited outside his room.

"Sister Are you here you escort me!" Ashton said as the door opened, he was dressed in his pink tuxedo his hair was sliced backwards which showed his pretty face. Sometimes I really think Fuck the male lead my brother is more handsome.

"Sis...Sister why are you looking at me like that" Ashton said as he looked at me with a scared look on his face. Damm, I must have started grinning without realizing it again, I am a noble lady but where is my composer.

"OH I wasn't trying to scare you it's just that my brother looks so handsome today I am pretty sure many young ladies out there are going to fall head over heels over you!!" I said as I pinched his cheeks.

"Sis... Sister what are you...saying!!!" He said as his face became pinkish. So cute!!!! Even when he is embarrassed he looks no less than a cute puppy. I wonder how great he will look once he reaches adulthood.... right adulthood....my heart it felt cold suddenly.....when I remembered the content of the novel...In the novel, Ashton never reaches adulthood as he dies young due to an underlying disease that had no cure.

"Sister, what's wrong? Are you sick?" Aston asked as he touched my face.

"Ash my dear brother.." Saying that I hugged him, even in my past life he didn't live for long....one more thing that I found out about this world is that My past life and this life are like parallel lines. whatever happened in my past life are bound to happen in this life too maybe that's the reason why I was reincarnated inside this novel because Irene and Lilly had both gone through the same pain....but not this time....cuz this time I will save them this time fate will lose against me.

Is what I thought.....But...

" Young Master Ashton is coughing out blood....someone help.!!" A maid cried.

"ASHTON....my child.." Mother is on the floor crying.....

"Someone call the physician!!!!" Father screamed.

"Sister..." Ashton said with a weak voice as he coughed out more blood.

Am I going to lose Against Fate again????
