The Villainess Wants To Go Home

Chapter 17 - True Face

Ariana sat gracefully with her hands overlapping each other on her lap. Her soft brown hair was styled

in a crown with small pearl beads on her braids. Ariana had little makeup on to outshine her natural

beauty, her plump pink lips was glittering from the lip gloss she applied beforehand. Her purple

diamond filled dress was beautiful on her for something ancient. I mean she really outdone herself this

time.

Yet hidden within all that elegance was the revolting feeling towards me.

Yep me, who seemingly picked out some random dress that didn't fit for the occasion and did her

ponytail in a hurry. I was the equivalent of a troll that woke up one morning and decided to go meet the

prince. It wasn't entirely the reason to why she still looked at me that way, it was because I was leaning

against the carriage wall with my legs spread across the seat and my hands crossed moping around as

I cursed myself for agreeing to come along. It's not my fault that the road ahead of us is bumpy and

long that my butt cheeks is numb.

I was not lady like, and I didn't give a donkeys *** if Ariana didn't like the way I presented myself. It's

not like I'm trying to impress anyone unlike some people. I eyed Ariana.

She can jump off a cliff for all I care.

I looked over to Ariana, she was trying her hardest to keep calm, I could tell by the way she was gritting

her teeth quietly and her knuckles were white from gripping her dress to firmly.

I ignored her irritated stares and minded my own business like I always.

"I have never met someone with such poor and disrespectful manners" her voice hid disgust.

I looked at her with a bored expression. "And I have never met someone so deceitful like you" I shot

back.

She mumbled a curse under her breath thinking I didn't hear her, but I heard her well.

I wish I could travel through time and stop my past self from agreeing to her. 'Money has taken over my

brain'.

\~Flashback\~

I was out from that horrid room. I nearly died by listening to her fake innocent voice. 'Who was she

fooling anyway?' I nearly shut the door completely when suddenly Ariana spoke. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

"I will pay handsomely if you accompany me".

What is Ariana planning to do that she's so desperate for me to come. If I was her, I would go by myself

to have tea with the prince then to have my sister who was the fiancé to come along and make things

so awkward. 'Yet Ariana is willing to pay me to accompany her? how strange of her to do that. This is

definitely not the Ariana I read'.

I walked backwards, shutting the door with a slam. Something with this Ariana is very fishy and it's

getting on my nerves.

I crossed my hands over my chest and eyed her from top to bottom searching for any scheming

intention. Ariana sat on the couch gracefully like any noble lady, she held an innocent face that would

have fooled everyone in thinking she was Saintes but to me she didn't look like one bit.

This Ariana didn't look innocent, or kind like in the story but sneaky double-dealing bitch. What is

happening, why is the story suddenly like this. Don't tell me this one of those Isekai where the

protagonist was actually the villainess the whole time. I was baffled, I was lied to the whole time.

My eye twitched in irritation. Just great, don't tell me I have to deal with her schemes until I leave.

'She probably doesn't want me to come along to tea but just want Diana to feel jealous that her sister

and the prince are showing affection towards each other' I wanted punch Ariana's face and cripple it.

It's fine since she's evil right? Right?

"Ariana" I said coldly.

She flinched a little but kept her composure, trying to keep her trembling her hands in check.

"Yes"

"What is that you really want" I hissed at her. She definitely is scheming something and I'm going to

find out.

She started to tear up surprising me. "Sister I'm worried about your health, you have been very peculiar

lately, so I assumed it was because of your health. I thought you might feel a little better if we meet his

royal highness, the man you love so much" she sniffed.

Her personal maid Isabelle comforted her while giving me a few death glares.

"My lady cares about you and your health don't you have any compassion." She hissed at me with her

green eyes darting me hatred looks. I rolled my eyes. 'Sure, she does'

"It's ok Isabelle. My sister is still having a hard time recovering from her shock yesterday." Ariana

smiled innocently, her green eyes glittering from the tears. The maids around her blushed from her

beauty while I stood there not even charmed by her hypocritical manner. Why am I the only one who's

being the realistic one here.

I would expose her now in front all her loyal maids, but I have no mood to neither do I have the time to

get into drama. My plan is simple avoid everyone and not to get involved.

"Lady Diana why don't you reconsider. It might be nice to leave the mansion for a while" Lilly whispered

in my ear. "My answer is still no" I wasn't going, and I don't like being the third wheel. It's so awkward

and weird just sitting there and watching two love birds be so affection towards each other. No, I rather

watch it on Kdrama, anime or read manga about it.

Ariana looked a little desperate, and she tugged her dress biting her lower lip.

"C-can everyone leave us alone" she said in a meek voice and trembling voice. Her green eyes was

looking down at her shoes avoiding everyone confused faces even mine. 'What does she want to talk

in private that even the maids can't listen'

"B-but my lady-"

"Please" she cut Isabelle's sentence mid-way, as she begged with her innocent puppy eyes. I gagged.

One by one the maids bowed as they left. Once the door shut Ariana's eyes quickly averted to mines.

Her innocent green eyes was replaced by a cold and hatred glare. 'WHAT THE **** AUTHOR. WHAT

THE HELL DID YOU CREATE'

"I know you want to leave this mansion and father's unaware of your actions" she smirked behind her

hand. I froze in my place, it felt like my whole body was hit by a giant boulder.

'How, how did she know?'

I clenched my fist. 'I thought I had made sure no one knew about my plans. Could the tailor back

stabbed me or was it the librarian? Maybe the maids heard our conversation? Shit how did I let this

happen.'

"If father knew, what will he say?" Ariana sipped on her tea gracefully, her aura reflected of one that

has won. It pissed me off. Everything pissed me off.

"Who told you?" I demanded. I need to know who.

"Have you forgotten everything that happens in the mansion reaches my ears. I own this place, Diana.

Everything you do I know".

I gritted my teeth in anger knowing exactly who it was. 'Those bitches'

They must have eaves dropped on us. I should have known. Nothing in this mansion is safe from

Ariana's ears. That nosy son of a bitch.

"But I will reconsider my words if you accompany me to the prince's tea party" she chuckled. Who

cares if she tells Marcus, I'm an assassin I can escape through the night.

"And I haven't forgotten to reward you handsomely if you do come along"

Shit I do need the money as well. I bit my thumb. What to do? What to do? Come on Artemis your

smarter than this, think of a plan to outsmart her.

In the novel when Ariana went to have tea with the prince and took Diana with her because she wanted

to make her feel better it wasn't because of that it was because she wanted to make her feel jealous. It

makes sense now, I wondered why she would take her but I never in my wildest dreams would have

thought that she was a bitch.

Diana poured the hot tea all over Ariana burning her hands, Damon was furious he was about to punish

her when Ariana got to her knees and begged him to forgive her sister of course the prince couldn't

help but accept her wishes.

At that point Diana lost it and bullied the heroine from then on, trying to kill Ariana a hundred times.

Looking at it now, no wonder Ariana forgave her sister a lot, I thought she was just stupid and naïve,

but she just wanted to make her look worse and worse in front of everyone's eyes. That scheming

bitch. THAT FUCKING AUTHOR.

But right now, I'm Diana so nothing's going to happen to her while I'm inhabiting her body and I need

more gold. 'Wait why am I so obsessed with money right? Geez the quest for going home has taken a

toll on me. All I think about is money, money, MONEY'

A brilliant idea struck me. I could do people's command for money and save up until I leave. That way I

have so much that I could enjoy my trip while and this world before I go home. Like a vacation.

Yeah, I need a vacation. When was the last time I took a vacation? Like I don't know 7 years ago.

I shuffled my hair with a long sigh. 'For the gold'

"How much" I cocked my head.

I saw a grin perk against her cheek. "50 gold".

I locked my eyes with her fake innocent eyes making sure she can see how serious I am "I will

accompany you Ariana, but I warn you whatever happens don't blame me"

She beamed with joy clapping her hands. "I knew you would understand".

If I had my desert eagle right now, I would shoot myself right here in the spot.

'**** my life, **** this one as well'
