The Villainess' Death Game[COMPLETED]

Chapter 9

Various species are dwelling at the surface of this world. Not just the self-centered humans but classes I recognize only from fantasy books, movies, and fairytales. In this world where goblins, dragons, and magic exist...lies the top of the pyramid are the witches.

And this man, what should I classify him as? 

"So basically you're a zombie?"

"Z-zoom-? What is that?"

We are both seated on the sofa in front of each other having tea at the center table and none of us attempt to take a sip.

"Ciel. You don't need to play as my knight. Looks like you're not here for that. What is your agenda to get involved with me?" Kalmado kong wika. Biglang naging seryoso ang muka niya, his face muscle and whole body are no longer stiffed as it is earlier. His eyes became sharp and his face became stoic.

"Lady Myrtle Edelwyse. Up until recently, you've been causing steer to the high society. You've been known as the useless daughter of the most powerful Duke of Etreylia. You lack the ability to control mana, and with that, you cannot wield magic, magical tools have even given up on you..." 

I tried my best not to lose my composure and maintain my expressionless face but his words...Anong gusto niyang iparating sa akin ngayon?

"...our encounter at the cliff. You tried to revive me have you not?"aniya. Parang nalunok ko naman bigla ang sariling dila.

"What is it that you're trying to say?" I asked back. It did not cross my mind that someone would question my ability up until now. Not even did I imagine that anyone would find out that I am not the original owner of this body but a soul from a different world. What should I do if this man finds out about it, I am unsure of what he really is since I still can't manage to open his character profile but my gut is telling me that he is no ordinary passerby.

"Did you perhaps know the immortal witch?" he asked. The wall that I slowly built for defense slowly crumbled.

"W-what?"

"I mean, there are people who got the witch's favor and they gain power with that. It might be possible that you got the immortal witch's favor." Aniya. 

He concluded all of that with just a piece of information. 

"You have a good deduction skill but I have to apologize for I have nothing to do with your witch. Did the witch got you good?" Kinuha ko ang baso ng tsaa at sumimsim doon, hindi na iyon ganoon kainit. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag.

Marahan na napangiti ako, I think being cursed by a witch is much better than being stuck in a game system that might end your life anytime soon. 

Bumaling ako sa kabilang side ng kama. Malalim na ang gabi pero hindi padin ako makatulog. Paulit ulit na tumatakbo sa isipan ko ang mga bagay na pinagusapan namin ni Ciel kanina. I did not force him to submit himself to me and serve to be my knight,he can leave anytime he want cause he only enters the ceremony to have formally audience with me and he succeeded.

The only thing that I want right now is to live a quiet, peaceful, and luxurious life. What's the use of the Duke's wealth if I got no penny to spend?

Buying dresses, traveling, and succumbing to my vices as a woman with this beautiful face. Urgh. I need to enjoy this life!

"Wencieli Ledlucite..." He is a character that I do not know of. Then where did he come from? Being near with me is something that--

"You called for me, Lady Myrtle." 

Kumalabog ng mabilis ang dibdib ko at halos mapatalon ako mula sa kama sa sobrang gulat.

"W-why are you here all of a sudden?!" I was flustered. Naalala ko na ni lock ko ang pintuan kanina. How did he manage to enter?
