Chapter 1: The World of Teliyah.

Scarlett's POV

The morning came after the realization, I'm the villainess of the otome game titled [Magical Love Romance].

Meaning death's door will come knocking once I turn eighteen, that's where every person who has magic will be attending a special privileged school for every magic wielder there is in the country.

The heroine will choose her match, her love interest and decide what to do by then.

All I know, whoever she chooses I'm destined to have my head be thrown onto the pits of hell.

I need to stop my death flag from happening.

"First thing's first." I looked through my room, the pink color blinds my eyes because of how... childish it is.

While it's the past Scarlett's favorite color, its certainly not mine and I would prefer this room to be a color fit for nobility. I have to start changing some things around here.

I walked forward towards my closet and slammed it open.

"Elise!" I called out to my maid that was standing guard outside of my room all morning, she was baffled of how I acted before most likely-

I was acting polite and even said the word 'please' when I asked for her to bring some porridge. Of course, now that some of my memories of Scarlett's returned I can see that was nothing out of normal for the original villainess.

I could hear her knock three times before entering.

I glared through the closet and began taking out all of the pink clothing that I had. "Pink ribbons, pink dresses, pink underwear, pink jewelry- hmm... pink everything."

I'm afraid that I need the whole closet to be refurbished.

The creaking of the door being opened gained my attention. I held one of the pink dresses and walked towards Elise who looked flabbergasted as she watched me. "Every pink item that I have. Throw it, burn it, sell it, give it away. I have no care of what you do. I want all of the pink clothes out of my sight." I ordered with a clear voice and her eyes seemed like it was about to cry.

"M-My lady! What happened?! Isn't this one of your favorite dresses?! Are you certainly alright?!" she reached out to my forehead all worriedly but then there was a sudden look of fear in her face.

She bows down to the floor and yells, "I'm sorry! I should have never touched you without consent, my lady! Please have mercy and I'm willing to be slapped again for your forgiveness-"

I bit my lip at the gesture of a middle aged woman begging and bowing down at a child, I felt horrible. Scarlett De Chevalier was certainly a rotten egg, no doubt about that. There were tales of how she punished her maids and servants by beating them with hard slaps.

My hands gripped themselves on instinct, my judgment of my other half becoming clouded.

For such soft hands, it seems they can still hurt innocent people in the story.

"Ugh..." I groaned a little as clips of the memories came back slowly bit by bit. It was true, I did hit Elise before. More than once... and she still stayed by my side after all that? Even in the original story, it seems that she was the only left of her staff... that stayed.

I shake my head trying to regain focus as I turn to my maid. "Elise. That doesn't matter to me, all I want to do is take out my old clothes for personal reasons. It just doesn't suit my tastes anymore." she stopped at my words and I reached down to help her up. "However, what I do not forgive is you dirtying your uniform by kneeling like a savage. Do not do it ever again. That part is also unsightly."

This maid blinks in confusion, standing up. "You will not punish me?" she questions with her leg wobbling slightly.

"No." I told her and handed her one of the pink clothes on her arms and smiled. The sudden gesture of smiling seemed to further shock her.

"T-Thank you, my lady. You... seem different today." I could see her hold the fabric in her hands more tightly.

I sighed and tried to dismiss the last part of her sentence. She seemed to be happy with getting away with the punishment so I motioned for her to move because time is of the essence. "Now can you take all of this junk out of my room? You may call on other maids to help you as well. I believe you'll be taking out a lot of clothes and I want them to be gone as soon as possible."

Elise fumbles and almost lets go of the pink fabricated dress, it was full of gems sown at the sides and I'm sure that one dress is worth half a year's salary of a common worker. "R-Right away, my lady!"

She leaves the room in a rush, perhaps to tell the other maids to help her to fix my wardrobe.

I looked around some more, eyeing the pink paint of the room. It really made me feel uncomfortable, but on the side there was a huge shelf with books. "I didn't see you last night. Did you belong to the hands of the villainess as well?" I muttered towards the books that had everything including politics, magic, and diplomacy.

I realized that even if Scarlett was a rotten girl to the core, I have to admire and respect her past capability of being studious and had an intelligent side while I played through the game.

It was rumored before that she wasn't that obsessed with the crown prince before, but when the two met it was something more of a love at first sight. Therefore Scarlett became delusional and did everything in her power to be arranged with the crown prince, also known as one of the male leads of the story.

She kept adding twists and turns to the plot that everyone hated because it made the story hard to beat. I remember the pain in my eyes and I tried to garner points late in the morning. I couldn't give up and planned my strike of attack on Scarlett for two days.

I had to try five more times before I managed to beat her to get to the crown prince.

"Speaking of which." I looked for an empty notebook or anything that I can write on from the shelf. "The world building of this otome game. I should note it all down in a journal so I won't forget and get distracted by my own temporary goals." my hands brushed through the top covers of the books, eye reading the titles imprinted on the front.

My hands stop through an empty one, and as if by luck has it. It was an empty book, it was practically yelling to write on its blank pages.

I took it out of the shelf, the book beside it tilted to the right and I moved towards the desk. I pulled the chair out of the table, and I sat down.

"There should be an ink and quill in the cupboard if I'm not mistaken." The memories that came back were all a bit hazy so I wasn't too sure.

Scarlett's memory didn't include pens in this world. So that's a shame, I'll have to settle for a feather that is easy to spill, hard to wash ink.

I pulled the cabinet and there were the materials I needed. It was neatly lined and organized. I can't believe that the past villainess was an organized person but- "It seems I was right." I took the ink and quill placing it onto the table.

"First," I held the quill in my hands with a soft grip dipping the tip of it into the ink. "I should get started from the very beginning." I muttered to myself writing the game title at the very first page with a cursive font.
