Today is the day of my death.
You ask how I feel when I find out this?
It feels so silly and ironic at the same time. The whole life I've been living is part of the plot of a novel, not as real as I thought
Well, who would have thought their life story wasn't real but a series of words in a novel, right? Moreover, my role in the story was not the main character
I am the older brother of the antagonist who is also the last villain that the main characters must kill in order for them to live happily ever after
As soon as I remembered all the memories of my past life, there were a lot of questions spinning in my brain,
So what about my happiness? I lost both my parents at a young age, grew up several times almost killed by my own relatives who wanted the position of the head of the family I held, then after I began to adjust as the new head of the Schnee family, my dearly beloved sister was put to death for doing evil to the poor Crown Prince's beloved girl, then in the end I also had to die because my revenge plan failed.
The only happiness I had was that when torturing the female protagonist, it could not be called happiness because if I could choose, I would rather live quietly with my family than torture someone
But you know what's funny here? They gave me an antagonist role because I felt a little happy when I tortured the 'good' who had my family killed, but gave the role of protagonist to the people who killed one 'evil' family' for their own happiness
Not very fair.
Well... Even if I don't want to, what can I do? This is my last day in this life, as the novel will soon be coming to save the girl and kill me. It was a waste of this memory coming, it was too late to change anything.
To be honest, it was actually still very possible that I wanted to escape from this fate right now, but I had no intention of saving my life at the last second. What for, too? Gretta, Dad, and Mom are dead. Living alone in this world while seeing the happy main cast is more painful than any torture. I'd better die according to the plot
"Edna Schnee, the Royal forces have surrounded your residence so you better tell me where Eleanor is while we're still talking well"
Ah, they've come. The main cast I once liked in my first life
I turned around, smilingly staring at their handsome faces that looked disgusting now. "Well or not, you're going to kill me in the end, right?"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Really, considering how I used to be so enthusiastic about reading this part makes me angry with myself.
"We have all day, why rush?" my question then went to sit while they were still putting the horses on alert with my movements. "You want some tea?"
"WHERE'S ELEANOR?!"
I squinted to hear one of the two male leads yell, "Gosh, if I knew your nature would be like this, Prince Genio, I must have locked Gretta away as soon as she said she liked you." I said quietly and raised the teacup and took a casual sip
"Don't switch the conversation"
"Why? Do you feel guilty for killing Gretta?"
"Gretta died for her own fault."
I nodded in agreement, "Sure. He died for loving you, and so did Eleanor" I said
"EDNA SCHNEE! DARE YOU TOUCH ELEANOR-"
"Your Majesty, please don't listen to this demonic woman's words. He's just trying to shake your confidence" the second male lead, though, Jeffrey Diven uttered the sentence exactly as I clearly remembered it in the novel and it made me unable to help but laugh ironically as I really did not expect to hear it in person. "I'm sure he has no choice but to let Eleanor live given the situation right now"
"You think I'm gonna take that shit out of fear of death? Pfft... Look, in the end you're still going to kill me, taking one person with me to hell doesn't hurt, right?" I said while grinning cunningly, Prince Genio tightened his grip on his sword with a flushed face holding back the mounting emotions
I should have followed the original plot of the novel and died quietly, but once I met them my anger returned again. I'm not willing to give my life to these unlucky people who killed Gretta
"Prince, you'd better go find Eleanor than continue serving this woman. He won't be able to go anywhere so you can leave this to me" Jeffrey suggested, The Prince nodding in confidence before he turned doubtful upon hearing my words
"You sure you want to leave me with him alone, Your Majesty? Jeffrey Diven was once the fiance I loved the most. He could have let me go with my seduction and let me go"
But with a stiff expression and a gaze that did not move even a little from me, Jeffrey coldly replied, "Please go, Your Majesty. I never put my feelings on him in the slightest so you don't have to worry. I can even slash his head right now if you want him"
Nyuth. I bit my inner lips as soon as I felt my wounded heart hear his words. Though I thought that my feelings for that bastard had completely disappeared by the time he conspired with the Prince to execute my sister, but it turned out that there was still a part of my heart that was just beating for him
Right, I didn't lie when I said Jeffrey Diven was the fiance I loved the most. We've been paired and together since childhood, falling in love with her near-perfect figure is like normal for me
It seems like I even ignored Gretta many times just for the sake of the man. Maybe Gretta's obsession with the Prince was also part of my mistake, if I had paid more attention to him than Jeffrey, he would not have wanted the affection of others
Well... The head of Gretta is already on display at the gate of the fort, soon mine will also catch up so there is no point I regret now.
"So... When are you gonna chop off my head?" I asked after Prince Genio disappeared in search of the parasite. "By the way our mother up there must be crying if she sees our relationship now"
Jeffrey stiffened his jaw while pointing his sword at my neck, "Don't bring my mother's name into this if you don't want your head to float right now"
".... Do it."
"Edna Schnee, I didn't play with what I said just now"
"Me too." I replied as I pressed the blade of his sword against his neck until it drew a little blood from being scratched. "You're right, I can't go anywhere anymore. I give up, just kill me"
"... You can't shake my faith, Edna"
With my eyes closed I laughed softly, "I'm not trying to shake you, I'm trying to beg you to kill me quickly" I said
"Why?"
"I'm tired. I thought I could avenge Gretta, but it looks like I'll have to apologize to her when I meet up soon"
If only I had remembered everything so reborn. When Gretta was alive and my family was intact. I'll do whatever it takes to prevent this from happening. I will not let my family members harass Eleanor Blume or the Prince
"But unfortunately it was only if I had been alone." I murmured softly before looking at Jeffrey again. "Kill me now, Jeffrey"
".... What's your last sentence?" asked the second male lead, Jeffrey Diven, raising his sword up high preparing to slash my head
I squeezed my dress tightly, trying to hold back my trembling body in fear as I imagined the sharp sword slitting my throat in a moment
"If time can be turned back, I just want to save my sister and live with her without bothering you" I said, my tears slipping by themselves as I said those words while looking at Jeffrey.
Maybe I still don't want to believe that the person who will end my life is the man I love the most besides my father
"That's all? It feels too simple for a vile woman like you"
I smiled bitterly and then closed my eyes, "I love you"
And.... That was the end of my life as the antagonist Edna Schnee in the novel "Save You"
...*****...
".... Na"
".... Na Edna's"
Jeffrey's sword seemed so sharp that I didn't feel anything even though he slashed my head
But what is this sound? Her voice sounded like the voice of my babysitter as a child who was sentenced to death by the Prince a few months ago for helping Gretta poison Eleanor
Can we really meet our dead relatives first?
"Miss Edna! You must wake up now or your birthday will be wasted!"
A birthday? Ah, come to think of it, I did die on my birthday.
"It's so sad to have to die on my own birthday" I mumbled, I gasped as I felt something hit my ass
"Good, miss! Why are you saying such an inappropriate thing with your eyes closed?! Please open your eyes and get ready, ladies and gentlemen and ladies Gretta are waiting for you in the dining room"
I opened my eyes as someone told me in a voice like my nanny, and I was made to blink in disbelief as soon as I saw the ceiling that looked like my room before I moved into the special room of the head of the Schnee family
"I.... Where's?" I turned my head, and was again stunned when I saw my nanny actually standing next to me. "You're really... Sophia?"
"Yes, this is Sophia. Besides what do you mean by 'where'? Of course, you are still in the room, not having a shower or preparing to celebrate your birthday. Miss Edna, today you're 10 years old, you shouldn't be cushy-"
"What—10 years? Wh who? Me?"
Sophia sighed then stepped away, I turned my gaze around in amazement. This view is exactly like my room when I was a kid
So this is what we call a flashback to life when we die? But why doesn't the flashback start with my baby time as people often say?
"Well, look at this, lady. You are still a mess and wearing a nightgown" Sophia said making me turn to her again, she brought a fairly large mirror and turned the thing towards me
I looked at my reflection in the mirror. Whoa... I really look like when I was 10
Ah, if only this wasn't just a dream or a flashback of my life but I really went back in time..
"Ouch!"
"Miss, why are you pinching your own cheeks?!"
In amazement I held my cheek that turned red because I pinched it myself earlier. I hesitated to pinch my other cheek, and I was shocked not to play when my cheek felt as painful as before
"Gosh, what is this? This isn't a dream?"
"certainly no. You just woke up"
Not likely... I really go back in time?!
Wait, if that's true then shouldn't it be..
"Sophia, did you say my family was in the dining room?" I hurriedly pulled the blanket and got out of bed
"... Ja. But you can't—Nona!"
Now was not the time to hear Sophia's scolding. I can listen to him again after confirming this.
"Feeding room... It's in the dining room!" I was happy as I ran as fast as I could
If I'm right to go back, if I really go back 10 years...
My family should still be alive!
