Chapter 99
Translator: Casbrin
This wasn’t right .
As I walked down the corridor my chest couldn’t contain the irritation that was welling up .
For the last three years I have been killing myself every day .
I ceased contact with Michelie, forced myself even though I wanted to apologise to her, stifled my love of Michelie, all to live this selfish life .
It might seem like it’s been a fun life, but it is just compensation for cutting myself off from Michelie .
And the result has been the betrayal of the people closest to me .
No, betrayal or whatever you want to call it, objectively they didn’t mean any harm, but betrayal is betrayal . Establishing the fanclub etc, they never asked my permission . If I had known about it in advance I would have never permitted it . In the first place why are people even joining this thing? My Behaviour should have been, for a high class Duke’s daughter, absolutely unacceptable . Was it Catalina? Did she pointlessly manipulate my public image?
“Dammit . Don’t be so efficient at such weird things honestly… . . !”
As the questions in my head swirled and fought, I didn’t even try to calm my mind .
When I checked, those two had already left the academy under suitable sounding pretenses . Rona had returned home for a sudden matchmaking appointment, as for Catalina it was said that her older brother is on death’s door .
To go that far…Especially Catalina . A guy like Geist, full of life, don’t jinx him by pretending he’s on the verge of dying . Even if you don’t get along with your sibling, don’t just try and kill them off to get out of school!
They’re excuses are blatant lies, but it’s not like I can easily prove it to the administration . I considered going home to check, but that would just be a waste of time .
I should just abandon those two . They were the closest thing I had to friends, but they acted behind my back and then ran away like this in the end . Thinking about it, It’s time to cast them away .
I need to fix this situation pronto though . Just where did my oh so beloved Destiny run off to? I need to get things back to how they should be .
As my thoughts went in that direction, I slammed into another problem .
Endo as he is now, hasn’t he grown a bit too much?
Endo Edward from Destiny Labyrinth was exactly as he was all those years ago when I met him . Back then only his body had grown, he still had the brains and emotional maturity of a toddler . By interacting with Michelie he was supposed to mature and learn about life . That was how this storyline was supposed to go!
But Endo as he is these days? He just has too much common sense!
I had thought it was fine since it meant he wasn’t as annoying as he used to be…but now that it’s come to this, I can’t ignore his difference from his original character . What caused this? Just, but, what can I do now? I don’t think I can make him revert back that much now that he’s matured this far .
“… . No, things will work out . ”
As weak as I am right now, I could only give myself encouragement .
I am Christina Noir . To perform my role in fate’s script, I was bestowed genius intelligence . To someone like me, nothing is impossible!
So stop hesitating Christina . Anything you can use, use . Just like Christina Noir the evil villainess .
Everything up until now, let’s just pretend that none of it happened . Everything is still going to work out just as it should . This is not the time to be impatient and rush . I just need to slowly and calmly undo each of my errors one by one .
And in order to do that, I headed towards a certain class’ homeroom .
It was not my own class, rather it was a class full of students who had only just entered the academy . Everything will be fine . I had already checked that neither Charles or Michelie were a part of this class .
It was a small class of only ten people . To give each student a great quality of education the Academy had low teacher to student ratios . I looked over the short heads to find the person I needed .
“I’m so happy you’ve called by Lady Christina!”
“Eep!?”
Sure she screamed in my ear, but I can’t believe I, of all people, jumped in surprise .
I was in shock . Cautiously turning my head, standing behind me, smiling ear to ear, was Freesia .
“Welcome Lady Christina! I am overjoyed that you have honoured me with your presence . Do you have any orders? After all, rather than that Michelie, you have a task for me right? I will do anything your order me to . ”
Even though that smile could rival a lady’s mask, it didn’t have a hint of nobility at all . I really have to ask, how on earth did this intense positive minded assertiveness of yours come about from a noble lady’s education?
Also, how come everytime we meet something seems so nostalgic? I just can’t put my finger on it .
Putting that aside, I am in desperate need of a new pawn right now .
“I see . I do have a task for you, but this isn’t the place to talk . Let’s change location . ”
“Yes, Aha! please listen to this Lady Christina! I have become a member of Lady Christina’s fanclub!”
“Leave that disgusting thing immediately . ”
“I beg your-?”
Freesia, who doesn’t seem to understand my words at all, inclines her head as if puzzled .
“What do you mean by… . ahem, speaking of you Lady Christina!”
This strange creature call Freesia continued to trail behind me as I walked . She threw away the problematic topic, even though she obviously had questions, and tried to choose a happier topic instead .
“In the newspaper they handed out at the entrance ceremony, there was a photo of Lady Chris in it! I decided that I must bring it back to my room wit me—”
“Fine, hand it over . I will throw it away . ”
“-Ehhhhh?!”
Taking the newspaper from her hands, I crumpled it up before throwing it into a nearby trash bin .
“Wh, why are you doing this?!”
“Shut it . ”
Tears in her eyes, Freesia was reluctant, but I sharply cut her off . I don’t know how many copies were given out, but each one I find I will personally destroy .
I don’t want to hear about this so called Fanclub . It has become the very symbol of my problems .
My current followers can no longer be trusted . They may not have been malicious to me, nor do I doubt their capabilities . Rather, today has convinced me of the truth . They don’t obey my words .
Freesia though, she doesn’t think at all and instead just accepts all of my words with joy . She is a pawn who obeys my every command, that is quite ideal .
Basically, as long as I can control her well, there shouldn’t be any problems .
“Freesia . I have been entrusted by the Fates with a large responsibility, and take pride in becoming the villainess they have decreed me to be . To achieve this I need your assistance . ”
“While I do not understand what you have told me at all…I will do whatever I can!”
Not having a clue, but will still try her best .
Looking at that pure smile, when I should be feeling guilty for dragging her into this, instead I am filled with an unshakeable worry . Something feels incredibly wrong, did I make a mistake somewhere?
First of all, my so-called fanclub, I will destroy you . And then I will take back the gravity and pride of a villainess .
With the clueless Freesia trailing behind, I set off .
