Chapter Five - My New Life As A Demon Villainess

Celebration...

Did this kind of event happen in the novel?

Wait, since the novel is from the heroine's perspective, of course, it didn't state in the novel.

Then... this life is real, apart from the novel I thought it will all follow the novel's flow.

I know that there are other people in this novel, and they have their own lives.

But I didn't know that, since this is my first time.

Who would've thought that I would reincarnate in the world of the novel I loved to read?

Having maria tying my ribbon I couldn't help but stare at her.

The novel didn't mention her but why? She is this pretty she can even pass as being a supporting character.

"Hm? You need something, young lady?"

I quickly shook my head surprised by her sudden question, I guess I stared too much.

Shen then carries me and put me in the bed, I sat while she held my waist.

Pulling out a sock from a box beside her she then put it in my feet.

The maids started early preparing for the party and maria here helped me to prepare.

Not helping- but basically, she's doing all the job.

Since I still can't manage because I'm a baby, I feel sorry for being of no help to her.

The other maids noticed how I favor her I tend to stare and smile at maria a couple of times and maybe that's how they got a clue that I like her.

Maria was then assigned to me from now on.

"There, we're all done young lady" Maria who is clearly satisfied with what she's done, flashed a smile at me.

I looked at my outfit, having a blue dress with a black bow I can see that they really did match my outfit to my eyes and hair.

Well, It's cute.

I delivered a smile to maria thanking her for dressing me up.

"s-so cutee"

I heard her whisper. I was then weirded out by how she looks eyeing me and all blushing.

Y-Yeah, she also has this weird side.

"Now, why don't we go to the party, young lady?"

She held my back as she carries me.

I just nodded at her in reply.

Actually, I have never experienced a party being held for me before.

In my past life, my mom and I would just eat outside, sometimes she would just call me by phone.

Rine would also just give me a present at school and treat me to a café.

I never experienced a big celebration held for me.

It's a first.

Maria carried me through the halls as I glanced at the walls and the interior of the mansion.

This is also my first time... living in a rich house.

Just look at every corner you can see different vases with gold in their outer design and even the frames.

I didn't know they were this kind of rich.

"It's the young lady"

Suddenly I hear whispers around that made me glance at the corner where I saw servants and maids of this mansion.

When they saw me looking at them, all of them quickly bowed their heads.

What-

I'm not the king, why are you all bowing at me?

This is so strange.

I'm just an adopted daughter to the family they are serving, why are they bowing?

Is this how people greet higher people back then?

Since this story is set somewhere in medieval times. Ah, right! They have this unbalanced treatment- I mean hierarchy.

Where they treat people differently based on their identity, whether you're a commoner, noble, aristocrat, or royal.

Like nothing happened, maria just walk straight with a sincere smile on her face.

This kind of treatment is a little scary.

I'm sure, In the future, I'll still not get used to this.

Ah-!

I suddenly hear voices of people from afar not just that but also glasses clinking.

Multiple laughter and whispers.

I feel weird- no scratch that I'm nervous!

Waaah! Isn't this too early? For a baby to meet different people. And from what I heard, it seems that there's plenty of people who came.

T-That... why?!

Also, Jazaila was disliked and hated by many people in the novel and the reason was the fact that she is an adopted child of the duke clentaz.

W-What if... I'll meet people like them there?

Ahhh! Then I don't wanna go!

Oh- right I'm still a baby.

Psh, how many times did I forget that already?

I'm still an infant, I can't speak to them or interact with them... I can just stare or smile at them.

Then maybe they'll not speak badly of me? Who would speak something bad in front of a cute baby?

Right? None.

Well... I'm not sure but it's worth a try.

Yes! I'll do my best... In smiling!

"Maria, am I right?"

Hm?

I heard a soft feminine voice calling maria.

"Ah! Yes, that's me your grace... I've dressed the young lady"

When I saw maria bowed I quickly look at the person who called her.

Ah- It's my foster mother, Duchess Riolasa.

She smiled sweetly at maria before her eyes went to me.

For a while, I just looked at her strangely when I noticed she was still staring at me with wide eyes.

Did she malfunction?

"A-Are you alright, your grace?"

I tilted my head to the right, finding her actions strange.

I was taken aback when she suddenly covers her mouth while I saw her eyes sparkled.

These people in this mansion are all so weird.

"Oh my, you look so cute jazaila!"

Wai- What?

"Isn't she?"

"I agree your grace, the young lady is indeed very cute"

Why do you have to include very? Wait no, that's not what I'm shocked about.

"Can I carry her now?"

"Of course, your grace"

The duchess held my back as she carried me into her arms. I looked up at her, beautiful auburn locks, light brown eyes, light pink lips, and such a sweet and warm smile.

(*gasp)

She's literally an ideal mother!

H-How can this be? Do these perfect people only exist in novels?

"You're so cute~"

Ehe. yeah, I get that a lot.

"This dress suits you, it matches your eyes, and the bow matches your hair"

S-stop it, it's embarrassing.

"Ah, your grace... will young lady be okay? Her face's so red"

"Oh. Ahaha, she must be flustered"

She giggled.

Yes, because of the two of you, I'm very flustered right now, that's why duchess please stop with the compliments, I'm not used to hearing those things.

"Many people are waiting already inside the ballroom, should we go jazaila?"

"..."

Carried by the duchess to the ballroom, I'm shocked by what she just said.

I heard her, she said jazaila.

My name- no, the villainess- but I'm the villainess now- oh, yeah like I said my name.

But how did she know my name?

The demon prince didn't even talk to them, I was only found by them in front of their door.

How did she know my name?

(*applauses)

Eh? Why are there suddenly applauses?

Since a while ago I just keep on staring at the duchess that I didn't notice-

Ack-!

Their this many?!

How can I not notice?

Standing in front of these many people I just noticed that we have arrived inside.

From the looks of them, they're mostly nobles, some I don't recognize what status they are from and what they're wearing.

I gulped when all eyes are all on me, I feel like being in a closed room with multiple CCTV cameras watching.

Scary.

I felt cold no- I think my body is cold with these stares focused on me, I think I might faint any moment.

C-Can they just stop looking? I'm-

Ahhh! This sudden embarrassment, no.

This is my version of hell!
