Reverse Villainess

Next Destination.

Now that Reiren and Eliphia were willing to listen, Aurora needed to find a way to convince them to work with her. It wasn't that easy.

They asked a lot of things that she was forced to tell them the truth, mostly.

First, who she was, and who her companions were.

"My name was Aurora Starlight, the only daughter of Viscount Starlight from the kingdom of Avalonera," Aurora said.

"My name is Ruby," Ruby said.

"And I'm her knight, Rita," Rita said.

Reiren and Eliphia nodded.

"That sounds normal enough so far," Reiren said.

Aurora smiled. "What were you expecting exactly?"

"Something that explained why you came here, why you know us, and other stuff," Reiren said, not holding back anymore.

"I see," Aurora said. "Fair enough."

"No, sorry," Aurora said. "I don't have control over this, so my knowledge of the future is limited. And it doesn't happen all the time."

"Oh," Reiren said, disappointed.

"So, it only works on big events or something?" Eliphia guessed.

"Yes, but not always," Aurora replied.

Eliphia looked at Aurora. "So the reason you know us was...?"
