CHAPTER ONE: WHERE AM I?

    CHAPTER ONE


    “ I''ve always wondered... ”


    “ Why can''t a villain have a Happy Ending?... ”


    “ Most of them are only Broken Heroes... ”


    “ Something not everyone can see... ”


    “ ... ”


    ?: U-ugh...


    A kid with scarlet hair and green eyes slowly opened her eyes as she slowly sits up on her bed.


    ?: ( Where the hell am I?... )


    She looked around and sees an unfamiliar room.


    While looking around she noticed her hair and touched it.


    ?: ( Scarlet hair?... )


    As she wondered why her hair was scarlet red, the door slowly opened and as a maid entered.


    ?: ( Don''t tell me that i—... )


    Maid: L-lady scarlett... I''ve come to bring your breakfast...


    The maid lowered her head as she walks in, closer to scarlett.


    Scarlett: ha?...


    The maid flinches and kneeled on the ground.


    Maid: I-im deeply sorry, my lady!... Please spare me!..


    Scarlett starred at the maid in silence.


    Scarlett: ...


    AFEW HOURS PASSED BY.


    AT THE DUKE''S OFFICE.


    A man with scarlet red hair and crimson red eyes, signing some documents in his table.


    Argos: What do you mean “the lady''s acting different”?


    [ Argos Argente O''Hara | 40 years old ]


    The man with blonde hair and blue eyes lowered his head.


    Philip: I heard from the maids that the young Lady has been acting weird for the past hours...


    Philip: The lady hasn''t scold her maids and stayed at her room...


    Argos continued to sign the documents.


    Argos: ...is that so?


    Philip: y-yes.. your grace...


    Argos: let her be... I''m sure she''s just doing fin—


    Before argos could even finish his sentence someone knocked at the door.


    Argos: who is it?... Philip, could you open the door.


    Philip bowed and went to open the door.


    Philip: *opens the door* m-my lady? what are you doing here?


    Scarlett looked up.


    Scarlett: I need to speak with his grace..


    Philip: i-is that so?... ( the lady does speak differently ) come inside, my lady. I''ll go get some tea for you and his grace.


    Scarlett nodded and went inside.


    Argos pauses and looks up at scarlett


    Argos: what brings you here, scarlett?


    Scarlett: ...


    Scarlett just starred at her father.


    Argos: ...


    Scarlett: ...


    Philip: ( what is this intense atmosphere... )


    Argos sighed.


    Argos: Have a seat.


    Scarlett: thank you.


    Scarlett takes a seat and philip served her some tea.


    Scarlett: I''m here to ask permission.


    Argos: Permission to what?


    Philip: ( so intense... )


    Scarlett: to throw me out of the family as early as possible.


    Philip: E-eh?!


    Argos: throw you out of the family?


    Scarlett: yes.


    Argos: why?


    The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.


    Scarlett: ...


    Argos: answer—


    Scarlett: I''m nothing but a disgrace in the duke''s family. It would be embarrassing if the duke''s name gets dirty because of my immaturity.


    Philip: L-lady that''s...


    [ Scarlett Rina O''Hara | 13 years old ]


    Argos: ...


    Scarlett: ...


    Argos: *sighs* No, go to your room.


    Scarlett: Very well.


    Scarlett stood up and bows as she goes out of the room.


    Philip closed the door.


    Philip: Duke, are you alri—


    Argos: I don''t want to talk about, philip.


    Philip: ofcourse...


    WITH SCARLETT AT HER ROOM.


    Scarlett sitting beside her window looking outside


    Scarlett: ( I was hoping he''d agree.. that was a waste of time. )


    “ Scarlett Rina O''Hara.. First Daughter of the Duke Argos, who''s known to be the hero of the war. ”


    “ And here I am, reincarnated into his daughter.. who is supposed to be the second villain in this Novel ”


    “ Loving you Unconditionally. Is the title of this Novel ”


    “ A story of a woman name Alicia.. the female lead, she was bound to meet the villain at the age of 18 while running away from the monsters. ”


    “ Luciano, the main villain.. saved the female lead from the monsters and they became good friends... Not until at the coronation of the crown prince Khalil.. ”


    “ Khalil, the male lead fell in love with Alicia at his coronation day.. and that''s where Luciano and Khalil fought each other to death just for Alicia''s hand and love... ”


    Scarlett: How ironic... ( How scarlett is destined to die in Luciano''s hand after helping him all the way. )


    Scarlett: ( I''m bored.. I miss my work from my past life.. Business woman in the morning.. and a Killer at night.. Assassin or so... )


    Maid: ...


    Scarlett: ... *tilts her head* what''s your name?


    The maid flinches and lowered her head.


    Maria: M-maria.. your highness...


    Scarlett: I see.


    Maria: i-is there something you need, my lady?...


    Scarlett: can you take me to the training ground?...


    Maria: ah.. forgive me, but I cannot take you there, my lady..


    Scarlett: Because of?...


    Maria: Ladies aren''t allowed at the training grounds, it''s too dangerous.. knowing there knights training, my lady...


    Scarlett: I see. ( That''s right.. the O''Hara Residence is one of the reasons why they won the war 5 years ago. Due to hardcore training.. it makes the O''Hara Residence have one of the mighties knights in the kingdom... )


    Maria: are you alright, my lady?...


    Scarlett: ( it''s exciting, I miss killing. )


    Maria: ( the lady is more scarier than before.. )


    Scarlett: speaking of knights..


    Maria: y-yes?


    Scarlett: *looks at maria* isn''t my first brother a knight?


    Maria: you mean.. the young master Noah?...


    Scarlett: yes, I heard he''s the first captain of Section A1 Achlys.


    [ Nicolas Cage O''Hara | 21 years old ]


    Maria: y-yes.. the young master is currently at the palace reporting for the current situation at the capital..


    Scarlett: *stares at maria* ... I see


    Maria: ... ( I didn''t know the lady knows about the young master being a knight at the palace.. the young master rarely goes home after all.. )


    THE NEXT DAY.


    With Maria Walking to Scarlett''s room.


    Maria: ...


    Maria stopped infront of the door and knocks.


    Maria: Young lady? I''ve brought your breakfast...


    Maria slowly opened the door and goes inside.


    Maria: lady scarlett?...!


    Maria saw a dead body laying on the ground and ended up dropping the tray of food and runs out of the room.


    Maria: The young lady is missing!!


    WITH ARGOS AND PHILIP WALKING AT THE HALLWAY.


    Argos: What''s with all the noise—


    Maria: y-your grace!


    Maria kneeled and lowered her head.


    Maria: t-there was a dead body i-inside of the young lady''s room... She''s also g-gone...


    Argos flinches as his eyes widened.


    Argos: philip..


    Philip: right away, your grace.


    Argos: Find the young lady, this instance! Gather all the knights and search the whole kingdom!


    Maria: ( y-young lady... i hope you''re all right.. )


    MEANWHILE ON THE TRAINING GROUNDS.


    Scarlett with the other knights are having a duel.


    Scarlett: *slashed her sword* faster.


    Knight: u-urk!—


    Knight: Woah! The young lady seems to know alot about swords!


    Knight: where do you think she got that talent? Hah!


    Knight: another prodigy child of his grace HAHAHAHA!


    Scarlett: Hmm.. ( should I try to use.. Aura? Just like what the other swordsmasters do? ) Who wanna go next? I need to spar.


    Knight: young lady, how did you learn about swords?


    Scarlett: Just experience *swings hers wooden sword with her left hand*


    Knight: the young lady seemed to be a genius when it comes to swo—


    Philip: All knights start gathering!


    Knights: what happened secretary philip?


    Philip: the young lady is— !


    Philip saw scarlett within the crowd.


    Philip: y-young lady! What are you doing here!? We''ve been looking all over the residence for you!


    Scarlett: ( oh- I''m dead. )


    AT THE DUKE''S OFFICE.


    Argos: Care to explain?


    Scarlett: Explain what, your highness?


    Argos: the dead body and why you are at the training grounds?


    Scarlett: I killed the person in my room and it''s a training grounds for a reason.


    Philip & Argos: !?


    Argos: you killed those assassins?...


    Scarlett: I wouldn''t be here if I didn''t, right? Id be dead right now, if I didn''t.


    Philip: y-young lady.. do fix your tone when you speak to your father...


    Argos: ( is this even still my child?... She talks as if she''s already an adult... She should be trembling in fear right now.. for a 13 years old.. )


    Scarlett: if there''s nothing more to add, I''d like to be sent in my room.


    Argos: How did you kill those Assassins?...


    Argos looked at Scarlett''s eyes and glared.


    Scarlett looked back and gave back a cold look.


    Scarlett: I wasn''t your daughter for stupid reasons. It''s only normal to Inherit your skills with swords, knowing your blood runs through all over my body.


    Philip: ( the Young lady is scary.. huhu )


    Argos: ... philip


    Philip: * lowered his head* yes, your highness?


    Argos: investigate who tried to harm the young lady of O''Hara.


    Philip: Right away, your grace.


    Scarlett: ( it looks like the queen made a move already, is this because I am the most qualified candidate for the crown princess position?... )


    Argos: ... Are you alright?


    Scarlett: yes.


    Argos: You sure? You didn''t get hurt or anything?


    Scarlett: ( what''s with him? All of the sudden him caring for scarlett? ) Yes, I''m alright and not hurt.


    Argos: Hmm alright..


    Scarlett: ah, yes. Your grace?


    Argos: what is it?


    Scarlett: how much money do I have left?


    Argos: why ask?


    Scarlett: I plan on going out to the capital tomorrow.


    Argos: Well.. *takes afew documents and looks at it*


    Argos: so far.. you have 660 million golds


    Scarlett: *almost choked* !— i-i see. ( That''s quite a money.. ) is this money enough to buy a mine in the mountains?


    Philip: a mine?


    Scarlett: yes, I plan on starting a small business soon, once I''ve left the resident.


    Argos: why do you want to leave so bad?


    Scarlett & Philip & Argos: ...


    Scarlett sighed and crossed her arms.


    Scarlett: I believe I''ve already said it when I first came here. my immaturity will only out stain to your name.


    Argos: ...


    Philip: ( ah.. his grace is disappointed... )


    MOMENTS LATER AT SCARLETT''S ROOM.


    Scarlett: ( I''m bored, there''s no fun in this room. )


    Scarlett stood up and looks infront of the mirror.


    Scarlett: green eyes... ( I wonder.. where''s Scarlett''s mother.. there wasn''t any information about her mother but her name... ) Stella Rosa O''Hara..


    “ A woman with green eyes and silver hair.. ”


    “ Too bad I got argos''s hair instead of hers. ”


    Scarlett: Hmm.. ( I heard khalil''s hair was silver but after seeing the painting, it was pink not silver)


    Scarlett yawned and went to bed.


    Scarlett: ( I want to some kill People.. I''m bored. )


    Scarlett slowly closed her eyes as she falls to sleep.


    While scarlett is sleeping, at her balcony there a guy wearing a hoodie watching her.


    THE NEXT DAY.


    Scarlett: Let''s go, maria.


    Maria: c-coming!


    As scarlett and maria walk through the hall.


    They walked passed by the maids gossiping.


    Maid; look at the young lady, she truly have changed.


    Maid: I didn''t know the lady can be so gadiant!


    Maid: let''s serve the lady with nicely and not be scared.


    Scarlett: ( wonder what scarlett did, so they''d be this scared to her. )


    Scarlett and Maria reached the front door, and there they saw argos and philip.


    Maria: Goodmorning, your grace.. *bows*


    Argos looked at Scarlett.


    Scarlett: I greet the sword of the kingdom, duke argos. *Bows*


    Argos: be sure to be back right after you''ve finished shopping.


    Scarlett: of course.


    Maria and Scarlett bowed for the last time and went inside the carriage.


    Philip: will they be alright?


    Argos: they should be, after all, you said it yourself. The way all of the assassins was killed is done by a professional.


    Philip: you don''t mean...


    Argos: I want to see if she''s telling the truth about killing those assassins.


    Philip: but you did have to send Assassins after her, your grace, the young lady might get hurt!


    Argos: she won''t.


    Philip: hmm..


    WITH SCARLETT AT THE CAPITAL.


    Maria escorted scarlett down of the carriage.


    Scarlett: Thank you.


    Maria smiled and giggled a little.


    Maria: you''re always welcome, my lady.


    Maria: where should we be headed, my lady?


    Scarlett: sword shop.


    Scarlett looked around and started walking.


    Maria: E-eh? But there are alot of swords in the duke''s place, my lady?


    Scarlett: All crap.


    Maria: s-such words my lady... *Laughs awkwardly*


    Scarlett: it''s true tho.


    Scarlett enters one of the stores.


    Seller: My, my well hello there my dear costumers!


    Maria: H-hello, sir...


    Scarlett: I''m here for a sword.


    Seller: A sword you say? Please look around *smiles*


    Scarlett: Thank you.


    Scarlett and Maria looked around the shop for a worthy sword for scarlett.


    Scarlett: ( Swords.. )


    Seller: the lady, seems to be interested with swords? Is it a gift for your brother?


    Scarlett: Hmm.. No, it''s for myself.


    Scarlett saw a Crimson bow and touched it.


    Seller: I see *smiles*


    Scarlett: ( there''s nothing to be— ) !?


    Scarlett''s chest started to pound lounder.


    Scarlett: ( what''s this.. )


    Scarlett looked around and sees a box with red aura coming out of it.


    Scarlett walked closer to it as she opens the box. Revealing a Black and Red sword inside it.


    Seller: Ah, that sword, that''s a fine sword indeed my lady, not everyone gets to touched that due to some magic.


    Scarlett: what do you mean?


    Seller: I think the old owner of this sword implanted some type of spell to keep it away from those who are not worthy to hold it.


    Scarlett: is that right..


    Maria: be careful my lady...


    Scarlett slowly grabbed the sword and raised it.


    Scarlett: Nothing happened— !!


    The sword started to glow as images flashed in Scarlett''s head.


    Maria: M-my lady!!


    Seller: oh my... It showed a different effect.


    Scarlett''s eyes slowly turned into crimrson red.


    The seller and Maria flinches.


    Scarlett: ( such power... )


    Maria: lady?... Are you alright?...


    Maria walked towards scarlett.


    Seller: fascinating...


    Scarlett: yeah.. I''m alright, Nothing to worry about.


    Scarlett took a deep breath as her eyes turns back to green.


    Scarlett: I''ll take this sword and this bow.


    Seller: right away, miss.


    Scarlett payed and both of them went out of the store, leaving the seller inside.


    Seller: ... ( I would have never thought.. that someone will be able to buy something so precious in a glimpse of an eye... ) The lady seem to be worthy...


    WITH SCARLETT AND MARIA, OUTSIDE OF THE STORE.


    Maria: where are we headed now, young lady?..


    Scarlett: ... ( Those images... I cant be wrong.. )


    Maria: Lady? Are you sure you''re alright?...


    Scarlett: ah-... Yeah, I am.


    Scarlett: let''s go to a clothing—


    Before scarlett could even finish her sentence a guy came and walked towards them.


    Guy: What''s the little spoiled brat doing here?


    Scarlett turned around and looking at the guy.


    Maria: please don''t talk my lady that way..


    Scarlett: let''s go maria, let''s not waste our time.


    Maria and Scarlett was just about to walk off when the guy pulled Scarlett''s hair.


    Guy: where do you think you are going?


    Maria: Let go of the young lady now!


    Guy: and what are you gonna do about it?


    Scarlett: Could you let go of my hair?


    More guys started to come as scarlett looks at them.


    Scarlett: ( bunch of bastards.. )


    Scarlett looked at maria, as maria fell down on her butt trembling in fear.


    Scarlett: Maria..


    Maria: Y-yes my lady?...


    Scarlett: Close your eyes.


    Guy: what are you planning to do hah?


    Maria: but—


    Scarlett: Just do it.


    Maria gulped and closed her eyes.


    Scarlett: don''t open them.


    Scarlett took out a small dagger and started to cut the guy''s neck.


    Guy: a-ack!—


    One by one the guys fell down with their Neck bleeding.


    Scarlett: ( haaa... Boring... )


    Scarlett looked around to see no one.


    Scarlett: ( there were just People here earlier.. what happened? ) ...


    Scarlett: ( could this be.. )


    Scarlett quickly turned around and threw her dagger hitting a guy at the top of the roof.


    The magic slowly faded revealing all the people looking at the guy on the roof.


    Scarlett: ( illusionary magic huh?.. )


    Scarlett looked up at the guy.


    Scarlett: you''re quite sneaky aren''t you?


    The unknown guy flinches and quickly disappeared.


    All the people started to gossip around them.


    Scarlett: Hmm..


    WHEN SCARLETT AND MARIA GOT BACK HOME.


    Scarlett immediately went to the duke''s office.


    Scarlett slammed the door open.


    Argos & Philip looked at the door with their eyes widened to see scarlett.


    Scarlett: it was you, wasn''t it?


    Argos: ...


    Philip: w-what do you mean, young lady?...


    Scarlett: well I guess I won''t get any answer here. Thank you for your time—


    Argos: yes, it was me. Are you pleased now?


    Scarlett: ...


    Scarlett: stay out of my life just like what you did 5 years ago.


    Philip and Argos''s eyes widened as they hear what scarlett said.


    Scarlett: I don''t see any reason why you had to interfere with my life, when you were gone for 5 years.


    Philip: lady scarlett that''s... The Duke had to go to war that time.. please do understand, it was never an easy decision..


    Scarlett: war huh?... Even after he came back from the war, he did nothing but neglected me.


    Scarlett looked at Argos coldly.


    Scarlett: ( is this how scarlett felt?... ) You have no idea, how they''ve treated me so terrible for the years that you were absent. You know nothing about me.


    Argos: treated you terrible?... What do you mean?...


    Scarlett: Find out yourself. Thank you for your time.


    Scarlett bowed and went back to her room.


    Argos & Philip: ...


    Argos: Philip.


    Philip: yes, your grace?


    Argos: Find out what happened 5 years ago. I need it now!


    Philip: yes! Your grace, I''m on it!


    Argos: ( just what the hell did they do to my daughter?... )


    WITH SCARLETT AT HER ROOM.


    Scarlett: ( I won''t.. let Luciano and I have death as our faith. We villains deserves an happy ending. )


    “ Don''t worry Luciano. I''ll stay by your side until the end. We''ll definitely have an happy ending. ”


    “ I won''t let you die a second time. ”


    Scarlett''s eyes turned crimson red and quickly turned back to green.


    AT NIGHT WITH ARGOS AND PHILIP.


    Philip: Based on what the old maids have said.. the young lady was being mistreated by the head maid—


    Argos suddenly crashed the glass on his hand.


    Argos: continue.


    Philip: they also said that.. the young ladies''s old personal maid would whip her up if the young lady—


    Argos: Bring all or them here tomorrow.


    Argos stood up.


    Argos: that would be all.


    Philip: y-yes, hour grace... *Bows*


    Argos walked out of his office and walked at the hall.


    Philip: ( I''ve never seen the Duke this agry before.. )


    AT THE PALACE.


    Knight: Yo, Luke! Have you heard?


    Luke: Heard what?


    Knight: Your younger sister, scarlett was making a commotion at the capital earlier.


    Luke: what do you mean?


    Knight: I heard there was some wizard who tried to harm her earlier this morning.


    Luke''s eyes widened as he flinches.


    Luke: Does captain knows about this?


    Knight: He should have... Hes the one assign at the capital after all...


    Luke: ( what did you get yourself into now scarlett... ) Alright, thank you for telling me.


    THE NEXT DAY. WITH SCARLETT WALKING AT THE HALLWAY.

    Scarlett: is that so.. ( I guess this should be alright... I''ll practice my swordsmanship aswell.. ) alright, let''s go.


    MEANWHILE OUTSIDE OF THE DUCHY.


    With philip waiting at the gate.


    Philp: you''ve comeback, young master luke..


    Philp bowed as a man with scarlett hair and crimson eyes came inside on a horse.


    Luke: ...


    Luke looked at one of the windows of the mansion.


    Luke: Where''s scarlett?


    Luke went down from his horse and looked at philip.


    Luke: Also, I need to have a word with father.
