The Reason I Have To Be A Villain - Chapter 1

Do you ever wake up one day and find yourself sitting on a pile of debt?

Have you ever spent your fresh twenties just working to pay off that debt? I have.

I died in an instant to pay off all my debts and live a new life, and after I died, I possessed a villain in a novel.

I might look pitiful like that. But it was simply bad luck.

However…

Unexpected Mission

‘Anastasia Solen’s weakness is being hot!

Spray her with her hot water!’

Accept/Reject

Every time a translucent window opened which was only visible to me, I felt sorry for myself.

~*~

My death was in vain.

When my debt of ten years was finally settled, I called my parents.

While on the phone talking, they were pouring out all kinds of swear words.

I was so distracted by the sound of my phone that I was hit by a car without even knowing it was coming in my direction.

I felt the sensation of a broken body and slowed breathing.

At the end of my blurred vision, I could see.

I’m dead.

But somehow, that wasn’t the end.

The darkened view suddenly brightened, and I felt as if someone were pulling me out of the water.

‘What?’

Before I could figure out the situation, my palm hit something.

“Ahh!”

“Oh, my hand!”

The feeling of my body breaking disappeared, and only a sharp pain remained in my hands.

I grabbed my palm right away. It throbbed as if I had been whipped.

What the hell!

Someone fell in front of me like that.

I was speechless to the point that I fell down after my palm had hit the person.

‘People would think I hit you!’

I closed my mouth when I saw the color of the fallen person’s hair.

It was silver hair that’s only seen in movies, and in addition, her clothes were not considered normal.

‘Wait, come to think of it, why am I here?’

I was hit by a car just a few seconds ago. Where the hell am I…?

“Lady Blair, what are you doing?”

A low and serious voice was heard during my confusion.

As I turned my head, I saw a blonde man and a man in a formal uniform.

‘Wow… crazy. His eyes are red.’

His natural red colored eyes that didn’t look like a contact lens made me speechless again.

The man approached the fallen girl at once.

“Anastasia, are you alright?”

“I’m all right, sir. Never mind.”

Anastasia? Sir?

A word that was out of the blue and somewhat familiar.

I knew without looking in the mirror that I had a stupid look on my face.

What the hell is this? Is it a dream?

Nothing could explain this situation except a dream.

Then the man that was addressed as ‘sir’ looked back at me with cold, dull, dark red eyes.

It’s been several years of my social life being thrown around here and there. It was not difficult to find out that the man’s eyes resembled a person who looked at me like an insect.

I see. That man hates me.

‘No, why are you here? Who are you?’

The man opened his mouth

“I won’t say too much. Stop making a fuss and go back.”

Thanks to the man who said it was my fault, I was filled with resentment.

No… she slapped my palm!

I knew it was rude to say this at the beginning, but I looked at the woman nervously because of my resentment,but it disappeared like snow when I saw the girl’s red cheeks that were about to burst.

‘Why… Why is that woman’s face so swollen?’

My throbbing palms, the fallen woman, and her puffy cheeks.

Piecing them together could be interpreted in two ways.

My own palm slapped that woman’s cheek.

Or…that woman… was beaten or…

A shock came as if someone had hit the back of my head.

‘To hit a woman in the first place…!’

It was truly shocking. Finally, my legs began to shake.

What should I do? First of all, I need to apologize…

“There…”

“Lady Blair.”

But before my apology could even come out, the blonde man intervened.

“Can’t you hear me? Go back.”

Unlike a while ago, this time it sounded like a threat as if he was going to do something if I didn’t go back.

Naturally, I was terrified of him, so I turned around and walked away.

A large and colorful garden opened up for the first time. Thanks to that, I couldn’t understand this situation any better.

Where am I and who are they? I must have fallen on the road, so why am I here?

Even as I took steps, my toes and heels hurted. As soon as I looked down unintentionally, my face crumpled.

It was because I could see my body wearing a fancy dress and uncomfortable heels.

I looked at my unusually stiff-looking hand, and touched my face with that hand. Plus my hair.

Then there were things that flashed through my head like lightning.

Anastasia. Your Excellency. Lady Blair.

After a few reflections, I realized that those were not the first words I had ever heard. That…

It was like something I’ve heard or seen in a novel I once read.

“Ah, maybe.”

While muttering nonsense, I gently pulled the hair behind my back. I didn’t have black hair. It was a light coral that reflected in the sun and looked exceptionally splendid.

A color that others call coral.

At that moment, whether the strength in my legs was gone or I was  unaccustomed to the shoes, I fell over.

I heard some shouting from behind, but that didn’t matter now. As if I had fallen, I jumped up and grabbed the hem of my long skirt and walked back at a quick pace.

I saw a woman and a man with surprised eyes. If I’m not wrong, those two…

As soon as I approached them both, I opened my mouth without holding my breath.

“Anastasia? Anastasia Solen?”

“Ye-yes?”

“And you, Aiden Burwars?”

“…Burwars.”

“Oh my God!”

As soon as I heard the man’s answer, I screamed and jumped.

Because…

A situation that could only be seen in a novel has happened to me!

The most important thing is that I’m possessed by a novel!

Since they kept calling me Lady Blair, I think I possessed a villain called the great madwoman of the kingdom of Maconia…

I don’t care! I’m going to have to get along with the heroine from now on.

Can’t I stay?

The heroine is none other than Anastasia Solen, who is now in front of me. Reflecting on that, I stopped spinning and looked at her.

She was as beautiful as described in the novel, even though her hair was slightly tangled since she was spinning with me.

Especially her clear golden eyes.

She looked at me with a confused look.

No, no.

My heart was strangely full. A feeling of excitement

I couldn’t help but hug her. I could feel Anastasia’s stiff body in my arms.

Normally, she would have left right away, but I hope she would let it slide today.

‘I heard that luck comes after a lot of hard work.’

But then I didn’t know. It wasn’t just a happy thing to possess a villain.

It was the next day when I found out why Blair had behaved so badly that she was called the most insane woman of all time.
