Blankly looking at them as I made my seat, I noticed their obvious displeasure upon seeing me. But, it didn't move me. I don't give a damn about these people.
Now that I realized I have been reincarnated here and cannot die because of the casualties, I planned on getting away from here and from them.
I have no intention of getting along with them. I will just wait until I turn old and die. I could also die from illness or an accident. Whatever.
I don't want to live in a place that would remind me of him. Of my greatest love that... fell down.
I heard a loud cough from an old man. I shifted my gaze to him, still unfazed. He stared at me intently.
"You, my ungrateful child. Thanks for making a scandal in the main palace; now I have to deal with these issues," he said with utmost sarcasm. I continued to look at him.
He smirked with annoyance and hissed right after. "I don't know what's wrong with you. You were never this silent and calm. Is this because you just discovered that your fiancé wants to break off your engagement?" he asked.
I sighed. Then, that's totally fine. That would make me happier. I still do not know who I am in this story, so I don't know how I will react.
But if what he said is true, that's a relief to me. I will just live my life out here alone until I die. That's no problem for me.
I still showed no reaction as I stared at them. He was annoyed with me. I know. But I chose not to speak. He asked the guy beside him, whom he just called "Sean."
"Check my daughter's condition," he ordered firmly. The man, who looked like a doctor, nodded before approaching me.
Sean. His name sounds familiar.
He placed his palm on my forehead. I was just staring at them like nothing. Lifeless and indifferent.
Later on, he faked a scoff in his professional way as he told the old man regarding my condition. "The Madame is completely fine. There's no need to worry about her physical health, but Duke Eléftheros, I suggest that we should check her... mental condition," he almost whispered the last words.
I heard the old man curse loudly. I was just staring at him as I watched him raise his brows at me with disgust. "You're so pitiful. I told you not to let your love for that man reign over you. Now, look where that got you,"
"I don't want to have a daughter who has mental disorders. Fix yourself. Stop giving me more problems," he said and left our table.
The doctor remained standing beside me. He hasn't said a word. I don't need his presence either. I stood up and planned to leave there.
"As much as I hated you, I cannot leave you unchecked. I think this is your karma for hurting Innocence," he said coldly. I didn't speak.
They're just fictional characters, anyway. And as I heard him say those words, I just realized something about him.
So, he is Sean Riel Halves. The famous young doctor who has fallen in love with the female lead. But because he can't have her, he ended himself by hanging due to depression.
Huh. What a great way to die. If only I were in his place so that I could die immediately.
I nodded at what he said about it being my karma. I know. I think this really is my karma. There's a part of what he said... that I was hurt.
But I shook my thoughts away. I must focus on my plan of getting away from them. So that my life here will end quietly but full of longing.
I left there. I didn't look back at him and quietly walked away. It was a matter of time before I reached a field full of blossoming flowers.
I stopped. I was more struck to feel the waterdrop above my head.
It was... raining. In a field full of flowers.
I was scared to admit that this scene... is familiar. So familiar that the flashed memories in my mind started to play like a recorded tape in a loop.
"Please take care of yourself," Mikael said as he handed me his umbrella. I was fazed by the moment. I was dancing on the grass full of flowers under the rain. He saw me.
But I fell in love at first sight. He was the same. We clicked. We fell in love with each other. We included ourselves in our future and plans.
"What is that?" I asked him. He chuckled a little. He looked at me before placing the book on the small table. "It might cringe you that your boyfriend is a fan of fantasy romance novels," he laughed.
I immediately shook my head. I'm a fan of it too! "No, Mikael! I find it cute!" I said quickly. He nodded before kissing me on the forehead. "I'm a writer. I wrote a story with my favorite genre and it was inspired by you," he said tenderly.
I was happy about it because I found it romantic. Imagine. A man putting you as the subject of his story. It's cute! So when he published his work, I was the first one who read it.
I was the first to read it. I was the first to support it and I was the first to be his fan.
His story became my favorite. I read it several times.
Eventually, he proposed to me. We planned on marrying each other. I was at my happiest moment.
But then, things really must have to go on their own ways.
Because the day our wedding was supposed to be held, he... died. Exactly on the day we were supposed to get married. It was a tragedy for me. I couldn't eat or sleep properly because I couldn't accept it.
I only lived right after because I was seeking my end. Two years later, I was shot dead in an ambush. I thought it was over.
But no. I woke up in this place that would remind me greatly of him. A place where he built his imagination because of me.
I wobbled. I sat down in the mud and fell on the cold ground.
I still don't know who I am here. But as soon as a man who was covered in black clothes approached me with an umbrella in his hands... I think I just got the answer.
Deja vu.
Halaya Xye Riguel was reincarnated as Malaya Eléftheros.
I am the... villainess.
