The Villainess Rise from her Downfall

Start of as Friends.

Ellesmeere Solar.

"P-Pardon, Your Highness?"

"I said, we could be friends."

Napailing ako agad agad. "H-How could I dare to be Your Highness' friend?"

"Hmm." He looked at me and then slightly smiled. "You're opposing who do I want to be friends with?"

"No, it's just-"

"Drop the formality with me, Lady." I bowed my head and bit my lips.

"I am Prince Claude Eclipse Horne von de Sullivian." He said then smiled warmly at me. He is indeed a kind and gentle Prince, but when he started to act out his moves and plans, misery befalls you.

I kindly smiled which makes him shocked. "I'm the only Lady of the Schulz Household, Ellesmeere Solar A-Augustus de la S-Schulz." I stuttered. The first time I introduced myself being the Lady of this House and used my Middle and Last name. "You can simply call me Elle or Meere, but you can call me anything," I said giving him my nickname.

"Can I call you Solar?" I was shocked once now. It is my Blessed Name.

A noble name also known as the blessed name is when you are a born noble given by the High Priest when you are born. When you are called in your blessed name, it means you are a special one, blessed one, in high regard, and wanted to share a blessing. That is why my twin brother,

"Of course you can, Sir." He laughed when I said that. "I told you to not give me honorifics, you can call me Eclipse." So blessed name basis agad kami, Prince ng Hawthorn Empire niyo sPeEdS lUngS.

"Then Eclipse it is." I remained my composure. Ahh, yawa.

Wait-  Solar and Eclipse? Solar Eclipse? Meant to be ba talaga si Lady Meere at siya? No one noticed since it is not known in this world probably. "Your brother should join us in a while after their lesson, hmm?" I nodded. Avoiding gazes. Ahh, my oh-so-kind-gentle-sweet brothers. "Don't you have a lesson, Eclipse?" Tanong ko. Umiling naman ito.

"I was done months ago." Napamaang naman ako. He's extraordinary. Expected of being a Prince. Well, I was done since I was reincarnated here. I just need to polish myself. "So great," I mumbled in an ancient language.

"Solar, did you just speak an ancient language?" He's shocked again by me.

"U-Uhm." I motioned my hand in my lips saying to hush it. Okay, nilaglag ko ang sarili ko. Akala ko naman kaso ibang lesson yo'ng kanya! Marunong na din siya ng Ancient Language? "Let's keep it a secret, please?" I puppy eyes on him. Of course, it will be a shocked to everyone else to know a 3 year old child (again) know the Ancient Language without a teacher, also, there's no expertise in this Language in the first place.

"I just know it." Wala naman ako idadahilan na iba pa, alangan naman sabihin ko, Lady Meere's knowledge is planted on me eh ako nga si Lady Meere.

"Woah, it's also great but why hide it?" He said. "Let's keep it between us, please? Eclipse? I don't want attention and so."pakiusap ko din, which is true. I don't wanna attract any people nor enemies.

"Of course, you are my friend now and it means you are trusting me." He smiled again, letseng ngiti yan ah. Hindi na ako magtataka kung nainlove si Lady Meere sa kanya. His mere presence shouts purity and you can feel his warm and divine aura and powers.

Matapos namin kumain at magpalalim ng pagkakakilanlan sa isa't isa, naglalakad naman kami si Garden. I smell the roses fragrance but the wind suddenly blows, I tuck my hair in my ears. I turned to the Prince well, he's looking at me flustered.

"Are you okay, Eclipse?" I'm kinda worried. He's still a prince, kung mapahamak pa 'to yari pa ako. He also said we're friends naman.

It's a relief that I've cleared up with the Prince.

"I'm fine, It's kinda hot in there." I looked up at the sky, well it really is.

"Let's go over there, I think they have set up a picnic." I said and dragged him over. "Solar, be careful." Paalala naman nito kaya tumawa ako. It's an under-the-trees picnic.

"I'm glad you're already familiar and comfortable with me." He said as he helped me to sit down. I nodded my head. "Well you're fun to be with and you're my very first friend," I said.

" Eh? How about you brothers--"

"Your Highness!" Tawag nang kung sino man, napalingon kami dito.

"Oh they're here."

"Greetings to the moon who even shines through the darkness, Your Highness." Bati ni Brother Earltone since he's the oldest.

"You may rise, de la Schulz." He permitted them. "Is Your Highness doing well in our Mansion?"

He looked at me. He's confused, I think he was thinking that why did they greet me too?

"It's great. Your little sister keeps me company." He answered after a while. " It's good to hear that, Your Highness. Well, We shall take our leave again. Skylar will also be with you." Brother Ezekiah said. Wow, matino ka boi?

My twin brother quietly sits not too beside the Prince.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Tumango na nakangiti naman ang Prinsipe. "I am the youngest son of Schulz, Ezyreal Skylar Augustus de la Schulz." Pakilala nito. It's also the first time I've heard his voice.

"I am the Prince, Claude Eclipse Horne von de Sullivian." Pakilala din niya.

I didn't greet my brothers? Well. Not anymore hmph.

"Is your lesson hard?" Eclipse laughed at his answer. My brother looks at him weirdly.

"Not really, Sir." I'm smugging my face internally, sanaol nagmumultiply ang brain cells.

Eclipse glance at me then he grimace which makes me laugh. "Ellesmeere." Uh-oh. Sinuway agad ako nang butihing Young Lord.

"It's okay. Solar and I are friends." Pagdepensa sa akin ni Eclipse. Agad na napatingin sa akin ang Skylar niyo. I smile awkwardly.

Hehe.
