Reincarnation: Villainess' Chosen Path

R:VCP | Chapter 26: Snow White

It was yet a wonderful day again for class. Yet all the students attention weren't on that but instead.

"It's almost time for the cultural fest!"

"Yeah!"

"I wonder what would be the theme this year?"

"Hmm. I'm quite wondering about that too."

"Really? Me too!"

...

...

"Cultural Fest huh." Luna whispered.

In the Otome Game, the theme that the school gave for that years [Cultural Fest] should be [Fairytales] if she remembered it correctly, and if nothing out of the ordinary happens this time it should still also be [Fairytales].

And at that time from what I remember because of someone's suggestion to play Cinderella, someone nominated Belle to be the heroine and then the choices appeared.

The choices was:

[Agree to their offer shyly]

[Reject the offer politely]

["I'll need to think about it" Then peek at Luna worrily]

Was the choices that have been shown.

Now thinking about it the last choice seems to be too much. But then again Luna was really a bully that time, so I guess Belle was pretty much afraid to even think about accepting their offer.

In the end as a player who played the game to experience the romance. I ended up choosing the first choice and after that the role of the heroine in the play then naturally ended up being Belle. And as everyone already predicted the Prince naturally ended as Jacob.

But now even if I do know what will happen... I still ended up feeling quite excited since this is also an event where everyone can finally see the Heroine, Belle, and Jacob's budding romance.

And faced with the declaration from Jacob, to everyone after the play.

That he only wants Belle alone and no one else, and to prove that he even kissed Belle in front of everyone! That was jaw dropping!

And as the Villainess, Luna, was then again become a source of ridicule and laughing stock by everyone.

Hmm... from what I remember I think Luna was also still wearing her stepmother costume that time, wasn't she? She was really quite evil with that dress. Though if the dress was altered a little, it would really do become a high quality dress!

'Thinking about it is really quite exciting!'

'What's exciting selene-sama?'

"!!!" Just then hearing the voice inside her head, Luna was frightened by this and that made her leap. And as she realized what she did it was already a step too late.

Everyone was looking at her as if they we're seeing a joke. Luna was embarrassed but covered it with a slight cough and she acted like it didn't affect her at all. She nonchalantly sat back down gracefully, and as everyone seeing her no longer moving nor making noise everyone also then started to continue their chatter.

'Sorry selene-sama...' A moment later Asteri apologized after realizing what he just did. He felt despicable for causing Luna to be looked at and laughed at like that by everyone.

Luna was silent for a moment then sighed. She was really frightened and also embarrassed but since she was already used to this in the end she just brushed it off by saying.,

'No worries, Asteri. Just remember don't do that again.'

'Yes Selene-sama... I promise!'

'Good.'

Then Luna then continued thinking about the plot, while waiting for the other characters to arrive.

•••

A guy with a red hair and closed eyes was leaning inside his limo, he was undeniably handsome with that indifferent face of him. Bathed by the sunlight that shine through the window he looked like a perfect sculpture.

If anyone saw him right now they would might even definitely lighten their breathing, afraid that once they make too much sounds it might awaken this handsome young man. But in truth this guy wasn't actually asleep, but instead he was talking to someone.

'You said that the 'others' who are like me is in the university. Is that it?'

'Yes. Lord'

'....Then can you tell me who they are?'

'No, Lord.'

Alistair was a little bit irritated to the person he was talking to. Since after meeting this person who was actually...

...his sword.

No, actually it was Crown Prince Alistair's sword.

This sword from that day on have started telling him about the 'past'. Past that he couldn't even tell him just yet. Which made Alistair, who already has many questions, to be buried with another bunch of questions.

Such as:

Why not tell me now?

Why not now?

It was just plain confusing for Alistair. Especially since after seeing that 'memory' where a young lady who looked exactly like Luna, but was called as Selene by Crown Prince Alistair.

In the end who couldn't help but thought.,

'Was that the Ethereal Fountain Spirit in the legend?'

Since in the stories and histories that have been passed on by the royal family is, the only person that the Crown Prince Alistair that time was the Ethereal Fountain Spirit, which name was Selene.

So wouldn't this mean that...

"Luna and Selene... have the same appearance?"

'I can't tell you yet, My Lord.'

"Urgh!..." Alistair g.r.o.a.n.e.d in frustration while clutching his head in annoyance. While squinting his eyes, he looked at the ceiling of the car while frowning.,

"Even just that it's still a "no" ?"

'Yes'

"Yes?"

'No.'

"Argh!! Quit making fun of me! And really can't you just talk naturally, don't speak inside my head."

Alistair roared, but in the end he just sighed and looked outside the car's window. A little while later muttered dazed., "I wonder if my moonpuff's already in school..."

Aima, the sword, looked at his master who was in daze and couldn't helped but lament., "You're still the same as ever Lord Polemos....."

' "I wonder if my moonkiss' already home..." With a sigh a young man with a long flaming blood red hair muttered while lying on the grass looking at the moon. While his sword lying by his side, quietly rolled his eyes. '

Alistair heard Aima whispering something he couldn't catch clearly. While still looking outside he offhandedly asked.,

"What?"

"... Nothing." Aima quietly rolled his eyes at his Lord.

"Oh."

With a half-hearted answer Alistair, who was still in daze, continued to look outside the window. While Aima on the other hand sighed in resignation.

He was now in his invisible form which was convenient for him so others won't be able to see him when he wanted to go out and do something. Especially since who wouldn't be shock seeing a sword flying everywhere, right?

So aside from being a sword, he can also transform into his human form as long as he like to. In his human form he was a young man with a serious yet handsome face, stone like gray hair, and red blood scarlet eyes. He can also become transparent and invisible as long as he wants to.

Thinking about it, it was already been so long since he was able to transform into his human form again, didn't he? From what he remembered... The last time he did would be.....

—Oh, it was that day.

A flash of killing intent suddenly appeared in his eyes, yet in a flash it also then disappeared. Suddenly remembering about the past and that person, Aima couldn't help but have a thought.,

Sooner or later when the time is right...

Your blood will shed;

Your retribution will soon come...

So wait for it...

...Zjion.

Wait for it.

"Interactive Snow White."

As the words left Sir Demeter's mouth the whole class was silent. Then a moment later.,

"What!?"

"Snow White!!"

"Yes!"

"I'll be the mirror ~"

"I'll be a the dwarf!"

"I'll be the witch!"

"Then I- I'll be the apple!"

"...."

"What? Or would you rather want me to be the dove?"

"....He has a point."

"Yeah point taken."

"....But I want to be the dove..."

"..."

...

...

With everyone's endless chatter and talks. No one noticed Luna who sat there, face dumbfounded.

Luna: ...Excuse me?

'Wait, wait, wait! Shouldn't it be Cinderella!? Why did it suddenly turned into Snow White!?'

How could it be different!?

Shouldn't it be a drama!?

Why did it became an interactive play!?

Why!?

How!?

Meow!?

With Luna's fretting thoughts, Asteri couldn't help but say.,

'Maybe your professor changed his mind?'

Luna was silent for a moment then asked back.,

'.....Then why did he change his mind then?!'

With a moment of hesitation Asteri half-heartedly guessed.,

'...Maybe his fond of Snow White?'

"....."

Luna: [Wanna hit someone .jpg]

Luna wanted to calm down for a moment but...

...Fate seems to didn't want her to.

"I nominate Luna as Snow White!"

"!!!"

She didn't even have the chance to take a breath yet but a big bomb was already dropped at her.

Luna: ....Meow?

Everyone: .... Who am I? What am I? Where am I?

Belle: [Proud .jpg]

Luna really wanted to reject it. Really, really much wanted to reject it.

But wouldn't it be weird?

Especially since isn't she acting as a villain right now? Shouldn't she show a happy, proud, and arrogant expression since she was able to stole the role that supposed to be the Heroine's?

Then why does she feel like crying!?

But she wasn't even able to decide yet but the other had already decided for her.

"I agree!"

"It's really suitable..."

"That's for the best"

From Belle's nomination to Dahlia, Ivy, and Camille's support...

Rest of the Class: ....

Can anyone stand up against them?

Looking at the silent and agreeing (oppressed) face of the class. Sir Demeter shrugged.

"Then there you have it. Luna will be Snow White in this play. As for the Prince—"

Poor sir Demeter he wasn't even able to finish what he wanted to say he was already cut short.

"I nominate classmate Alistair!"

"Sir Alistair!"

"It should be classmate Alistair."

"Yes that should be right."

With the Heroine and the rest of the Villainess saying it with a smile...

The rest of the class: ....

We weren't even able to open our mouth yet...

We weren't even able to open our mouth yet!

Even if you ignore our a student rights!

But you shouldn't ignore our human rights!

Looking at them with a bright smiling face was Belle., "It shouldn't be a problem right?"

The rest of the class: That smile... Too bright! It burns!

Jacob was about to say something, but the other Capture Target stopped him., "Just let them be, lest it'll make Belle angry again."

Jacob looked at Damon, Damon also looked at him. In the end he didn't do anything since he know that Damon was right.

Every time he did something wrong to Luna, rather than making Belle happy and grateful to him it only leads her to despise him. Which he clearly didn't understand. Since he was clearly protecting Belle from this woman's schemes. Yet Belle keep protecting this woman.

But in the end he really can't get bring himself to get angry at Belle. Since he loves her... Really, really love. So of course right now he can only do his best to double his effort in protecting her from this woman's evil scheme.

Even though he really wanted to be a pair with Belle in a play... Sigh he can only forget it for now then.

•••

The other Capture Target was also quite quiet today. From the looks of them they seem to have finally understand some things that they weren't able to understand in the past.

One of it was...

Their infatuation towards Belle wasn't...

... voluntarily.

Maybe it wasn't really even real...

•••

Luna wasn't able to react to all the bomb shocking news that was thrown at her. Even right now she still felt that her brain was overloading.

She even felt that her hard earned reputation of being the cold queen will soon be destroyed to how fl.u.s.tered she is now.

She tried not to think too much. Saying.,

Ahh... It's fine. He won't accept.

He won't accept.

He really won't accept.

Truly won't accept.

Surely won't accept.

Definitely won't accept!

He won't! He won't! He won't!

He won't—

"Okay."

He— what?

'Ermm... Selene-sama sir P— I mean sir Alistair agreed.'

"..."

'Selene-sama?'

Luna looked at that rambutan guy, slowly, in the eye.

Her eyes clearly saying: What are you doing!?

Alistair looked at her and smile innocently: What?

Luna felt her eyes twitching non-stop. But Sir Demeter didn't care about the issues. Since someone already nominated...

Belle: of course!

...and the nominee agreed.

Luna: I didn't! TwT

Then there's no problem.,

"Then Luna and Alistair, as Snow White and the Prince then it's settled. Then let's assign the others too....."

Luna didn't hear anything anymore. She just have this urge to cry and ask why!?

Why did the story change!?

•••

"Let's make things fast. Snow White will be Luna, the Prince will be Alistair, the Evil Queen will be Belle, and the deceased King will be... Jacob." Sir Demeter looked hesitantly at the smiling and satisfied Jacob, who's role was only was a dead person. Thinking.,

'...'

'...'

'.....'

In the end Sir Demeter end up not thinking about anything, and only end up saying a sentence to himself. That it was bad to judge people's own aesthetic. And with a slight cough he continued giving some roles.

"The mirror will be Ivy, the huntsman will be—" looking up from his papers sir Demeter saw the girls pointing to Camille, then he look down as nothing happened. "—Camille. And the dwarves will be Hac, Fia, Sally, Liam, Spade, Damon and..." He looked at Dahlia.

But before he could even continue. Dahlia, who saw this, was faster than him., "I want to be the Vulture!"

Everyone:.....

Dahlia: [Proud .jpg]

"What? It's just crowing once or twice. I can do that" with c.h.e.s.t up and arrogant look she declared.

"..."

Seeing this, Sir Demeter coughed and continued reading, ignoring the gloomy look of a certain Capture Target.

"And Waine. The seven dwarves are done, then... Then let's discuss the design and—"

"—cough."

Sir Demeter looked at Dahlia. Dahlia looked at him with a proud look. He looked back at the paper and continued to read.

"Again the design and—"

"Cough!"

Sir Demeter looked again at Dahlia, and Dahlia looked back at him. With a sigh.,

"The vulture will be Dahlia." Sir Demeter looked at Dahlia, Dahlia smiled, clearly satisfied. Seeing this Sir Demeter finally continued. "And the rest since there isn't other role will have to be, again listen, will be assigned to the design and planning dep—"

"Sir?"

Sir Demeter looked up again seeing it wasn't Dahlia, but instead a boy with a frail yet timid look, he eased his tone and asked., "Yes?"

The boy was hesitating but seeing sir Demeter's patient look, he finally have courage to open his mouth and said.,

"Well... Can I be the dove?"

Everyone: "..."

Dahlia: Yow, seems I'm not alone~ [Pleased.jpg]

Sir Demeter:... "No."

In the end Sir Demeter was able to start talking again. And this time no one cut him out again, and he was able to finally say what he wanted to say to the class.

While the Heroine and Villainess were happy to see their plans work: (~^-^~)

And the Capture Targets have their own thoughts: (-_-°°°)

While Alistair was happy to play with his moonpuff: \(^~^)/

And Luna, his moonpuff, was quite blank: (•–•)°°°

The rest of the class:...Don't we even have a human rights!? (TwT )

[Forced to be laborers.jpg]

No one: .....I really want to be the dove... honestly.

The rest of the class:...

•Chapter Ends•

-----------------

[Before The End Start]

God Realm

"God of Underworld? Why do you come here?"

A handsome man with an autumn orange red haired asked the pitch dark haired God that was approaching him. Behind him was his vast forest garden, which no matter how fast the time runs, will only be in Autumn Fall season forever.

"I know you felt it too."

"Felt it?" He smiled ignorantly.

"Autumn God."

"..."

"..."

They both end up staring each other. In the end, the Autumn God gave up.

"Sigh. What do you want?"

"Your help."

"My help?" He looked up surprised.

"Yes, your help."

He looked at the God of Underworld a moment and shrugged.

"...Why me? There are other Gods that can help."

"Because your the only one who can do it."

He looked at the God of Underworld.

"What do you mean?"

"There's a prophecy."

"..."

"And your brother is one of the chosen ones that was chosen."

"..."

The God of Underworld looked at him seriously and solemnly.

"Aki, the Msymeoir— no, the 3000 world itself. Needs your younger brother."

"..."

"You need to bring him back."

"..."

"You need to bring the Winter God back."

"...He won't..."

The God of Underworld stopped talking and looked at him silently.

"He won't come back."

Autumn God looked at God of Underworld and smiled helplessly.

"Theos, you know he doesn't want to come back. He won't come back. The death of her... Made a big impact on him. Ntamon won't come back—"

"—He will."

"What?"

"I said, he will."

"You..."

"Ntamon will come back, and so does she."

"...What!? What do you mean!? Isn't she dead? Ntamon even buried her ashes... Wait, don't tell me her soul didn't... disappear?"

God of Underworld smiled and nodded.

"Un. So you need to bring Ntamon back. Because someone else will bring her back."

As the God of Underworld said those words he left.

"Look for him, and wait for me to bring them all back...."

As the God of Underworld's silhouette disappear. Autumn God still hasn't come back to God yet.

The day the Goddess of Flames, Natalia burned herself in a never-ending heart of fire, until she turned into bits of ashes and disappears.

The God of Winter, Ntamon at that same day... also lost his will to live. And disappeared from the eyes of every citizens of the Msymeoir Kingdom. Never ever want to return again.
