I'M The Villainess Sister
Chapter 04: The Engagement Day

E D N A's

Damnit. Damnit. Damnit. Damnit. Damnit.

I hate my brain more than my tragic destiny. Wh why? BECAUSE THIS DAMN BRAIN IS SLOW TO REMEMBER AN IMPORTANT EVENT THAT SHOULD CHANGE MY DESTINY!

Though I had planned to cancel the engagement and act anarchist at our engagement event later, but stupidly I do not remember that it was today. On my own 10th birthday

Now I understand why those important people came here. They were all 'important guests' Jeffrey's father who came to congratulate us on our engagement

Haaa..... I want to beat myself up.

God gave me a new chance to change fate, but what did I do? I let the rice turn to porridge because of my stupidity. Even though we were children and this engagement was done without a ring, this bond still counts officially in the eyes of the law because it has a strong witness

Fortunately, there was still 10 years before our relationship went to the marriage stage

And I'M. NO. NOPE. MAY. FORGETTING. ANY MORE. FOR THE. FOILING. WEDDINGS.

Brain is useless, please just remember this once. This is not only about us, but also about the lives of many people in this world. If everything goes like what happened in my second life

Okay, looks like I need to calm down first... No need to panic, Edna. All you have to do is get Jeffrey fed up with you and then cancel the wedding like it used to be. Right, I've managed to do it once, doing it twice is no big deal.

I exhaled a long breath of calm and then looked at Jeffrey who was looking back at me, my sneaky grin automatically popped up when I thought of various ideas to bully him. Let's put the boy down until he cries and cancel this damn wedding himself

"Sister!"

"Hm?" I quickly changed the creepy expression on my face earlier with a smile as it was called by my sister who ran over. "What's up, Gretta?" I felt soft as if nothing had happened

"Will my sister get married? Big brother will be the Princess master and big brother will be her Prince huh?"

"No. That terrible thing will never happen." I replied quickly without needing to think, I held onto both of my sister's shoulders and looked at her seriously. "Listen, Gretta. That brother is not the Prince and I will not marry him until anytime. I'll only look after you my whole life"

"really?"

"Yes. I don't need anyone but you, mom, dad, Sophia, and Rery. Hm... Maybe some mansion clerks too, but that's definitely not with Jeffrey Diven"

Gretta winks her plain eyes. "Why? Is that brother mean to sister?" she asked, I smiled thinly and rubbed her hair slowly. I used to lose everything and become the antagonist for choosing Jeffrey, but this time I'm going to sacrifice Jeffrey to protect everyone I love.

"You don't need to know, the important thing is that brother must have saved you this time"

The matter of my feelings for the man is not important, because from the beginning this was only part of the storyline that was not real and would disappear on its own as time went on. I'm sure it is.

Might as well.

"I don't want to be saved brother, I want Prince!" gretta's exclamation instantly awakened me from a brief daydream, my sister looking at me with bulging cheeks of dislike.

I ruffled my waist, "Gretta, big brother told you that Prince is not cool, he is just a son of the King who is spoiled! The prince will never be able to save you" I said

"If the Prince can't, can you? You can't either, right?!"

"Can! Brother must have saved you even if you had to sacrifice your life!"

Therefore please do not die miserably again, my sister. Your brother will give up anything to keep you and our family alive.

"..... I don't like big brother!"

"Gretta, wait-!"

I circulated my gaze when I heard a loud whisper, and confusion immediately struck my brain as everyone stared at me with a haru look. What's the matter?

"Geez, they're adorable"

"You heard that? Her brother said he would sacrifice his life to save his sister! Cutely..."

"Marquis Schnee managed to raise her daughter into a good older sister. My brother would never say that to me even if he was dying"

"I had to ask the Marchioness how to educate my daughter to love her sister like Edna"

"Now I understand why the Duchess Diven chose Edna as her son-in-law's candidate."

My cheeks were hot once their voices reached my ears clearly. Did I say it too loud? Gosh, it's embarrassing to know someone else heard it

"Edna, do you love your sister so much?" two grown women asked me blatantly, their eyes looking at me as if I were an adorable kitten

I opened my mouth, about to answer confidently like any other adult. But the enthusiastic gazes mixed with anxiety in the eyes of the two women made my face feel even hotter. I ended up closing my mouth again then nodded in embarrassment, not used to being treated sweetly like this by strangers

"How much? Can you show us with your hand?"

For God's sake, I'm a 10-year-old! It's ten! Don't treat me like a 3-year-old! It's so embarrassing, especially Gretta was gone earlier with a snack

"I-That's. "I looked in all directions for help, but instead accidentally looked at Jeffrey. Ng's? My forehead reflexes furrowed at the figure standing far enough away from me

Jeffrey Expression.... Looked angry. Whatisthis? Did I see wrong or did he really just subconsciously show his true expression to me?

...*****...

In the midst of the crowd of guests who were anxious with Edna's words, Jeffrey stood up while clenching his hands tightly, his expression hardened as if annoyed at something. The black-haired man did not say anything, he just silently stared at Edna for quite a while before turning around and leaving

The curious Edna intended to chase after him, but it was void when his hand was held by someone. The girl looked over, but Rery did

"Edna" Rery's countenance looked very serious as if he was about to tell the state secrets

"Edna, getting engaged means you'll marry that guy in the future, right?"

"... It should be. Why are you asking?"

"You can't marry the boy" Rery said firmly, pulling the friend's arm closer to him and whispering. "You're my best friend so I'll tell you a big secret, he's not a good kid. You know, since it's a pity to see her we ignored earlier, I kindly suggested her to be friends with me before you because I know you're awkward with strangers, but guess what the answer is?"

"What?"

"He doesn't want to. He said he only wanted to be friends with you and Gretta, but his expression was as cold as when my father was angry. It's creepy"

Edna was silent about her good friend's words. Rery couldn't possibly lie to him because he had known the boy for a long time, but he had also seen for himself what Jeffrey's 'leaking' expression was when he looked at him.

'She must have been upset at my relentless rejection earlier so couldn't control her expression as well as usual.' thought the girl, she then snorted softly. "At first I thought he wouldn't be affected, but in the end he was just an 11-year-old kid who was easily annoyed, huh." he murmured.

"... Edna?"

"Thank you for the information, Rery. Good work" Edna smiled as she patted the happy friend's shoulder, Rery nodded though somewhat confused. "So... You're not gonna marry her, are you?"

"Just be calm, the word marriage will never be in one sentence with my name and Jeffrey Diven up to any time"

".... Huh uh?"

Edna sighed, understanding that the friend who was still pure children did not understand her words just now. "I mean I'll never marry her" explained the girl in a language that was easier to understand, Rery again nodded his head and this time he understood completely

"good. Oh yes, if your mother scolds you, just tell me I'll take the place of the bad boy and marry you. I have no problem doing it, after all we've often been a father and mother when playing house"

"Rery, getting married is not the same as playing house-housing. "Edna's speech stopped when her brain thought about Rery's childish advice seriously. He then raised an eyebrow in shock because it turned out that the suggestion that impressed the origin was true as well

'I never thought about this, but God... Isn't this a good idea? I mean, we have a good relationship, I know Rery's inner and outer nature, I also know he won't betray me in the future, and maybe this one's part of the storyline, he said, but he always protected me and my family, even at the end of the story Rery was willing to sacrifice his life for me.' Edna thought, he looked at the boy in front of him who was blinking innocently and a conclusion that had never been expected before appeared.

Rery is the best husband candidate she can find. In addition to all the things mentioned earlier, Rery is also the eldest son of Marquis Barnard who has a quite distinguished status in the Kingdom

Falling in love and marrying the man will certainly not interfere with the lives of the main characters, then the most important and most important... Maybe later Edna can finally live a normal and calm life with her family

"Rerries... You won't be able to pull your words out just now forever. Are you sure you'll marry me if I'm not married to Jeffrey?" ask Edna to make sure

The black-bladed man nodded, he brandished his pinky finger. "I promise for my little finger. You're allowed to cut off this finger if I lie"

'I just need to keep Gretta away from Prince Genio and then match her up with someone else. In the future Jeffrey will step aside on his own from being fed up with me, and I'm sure you won't be able to protest if Rery replaces him as my future husband. There are no more two evil Schnee sisters, no bad ending for my family.' Edna devised a plan in her heart while linking her little finger to Rery's.

He understands that this promise is only a promise of children and is not strong enough to guarantee his future because Rery could have forgotten the promise he made today in the future, but the girl will do anything to escape her dark destiny.

...*****...

The anniversary event as well as today's engagement ended well. Throughout the party Edna was too busy serving Rery and keeping his sister who played with some children from the invited guests until he completely forgot Jeffrey

The man disappeared with a very suspicious angry expression, and only reappeared when the party was almost over. Then as if there was nothing wrong with his expression earlier, Jeffrey smiled showing off his sweet dimple while sitting next to Edna

"Jeffrey Diven," Edna called out as Jeffrey was about to get into his carriage. All the guests including Rery and his family had already gone home, and the Diven family was the last one because the parents still had things they had to talk about about the future

The girl looked back briefly to make sure that her mother was still busy chatting with Jeffrey's parents before looking back at the figure in front of her. "Don't come to my house again tomorrow or forever"

".... Wh why? I want to be friends with you"

"Don't be silly. I know you don't like me either" Edna cut sharply, she crossed her arms around her chest. "You don't have to pretend to be nice or like me when it's just the two of us"

"I'm not pretending. Besides, I'll also come back tomorrow to be friends with you"

"I told you I don't want to be friends with you. Don't come here again!"

"I'll come tomorrow, tomorrow again, and so on" Jeffrey insisted, provoking Edna's emotions.

"Not come-"

"I'll keep coming until you want to be friends with me, Edna"

Edna chuckled, "Ck, why are you so determined to be friends with me anyway? Did your parents forbid you to play with Eleanor if you weren't friends with me?" her question was upset, subconsciously mentioning a name she was not supposed to know yet

"Don't bring up Eleanor's name. It's my own decision" Jeffrey recalled with an expression that instantly turned dark.

But a second later the man winked quickly when he saw Edna just looking straight at him expressionlessly. "E-Edna, I didn't mean to get angry. "sorry Jeffrey panicked, his hand outstretched like he was about to grab the girl's hand in front of him, but he just ended up pulling it again because he didn't have enough courage. "I'm sorry.. "

"No need to apologize for wanting you to be mad at me or not, I don't care. It's better if you get angry with me and never come here again forever" Edna replied indifferently before turning around and shaking her hand.

"Go away and never come back, Jeffrey Diven"

To be continued....

(*) Bonuses

The Duchess Diven turned her eyes when the corner of her eye saw Edna walking over after talking to Jeffrey, "Edna, what were you talking about earlier? You guys look familiar from here" the woman asked with a gentle smile

"....."

"... It seems like a secret among them that we shouldn't know. Usually children if it is suitable do like to have their own secrets between them" Edna's mother replied with an awkward laugh, her eyes glanced at the princess who was silent with her hands clenched.
