Reborn As Villain's
Side Story 1: POV Vanessa Sera Ingrid.

I'm beautiful. And I know it.

There was once someone who shouted "Daughter Vanessa as Beautiful as an Angel".

Unfortunately, I don't like that, because. Compared to angels, I am much more beautiful.

It proved how Father and Mother behaved to me. They pay more attention.

"Vanessa, you're really our beautiful daughter".

That's what they often told me, not just them but everyone in the entire staff working at the Palace said the same thing.

(Aaaahh..... Glad to be praised like that. Right, I'm the prettiest, number one in the world and the one everyone loves the most).

From that moment on, I used this advantage of mine to get the attention of others and what I wanted.

But, in order to perfect it all I had to learn various etiquettes that noble girls used to learn.

In order to maintain my good reputation in front of everyone, I decided to study all of it desperately.

From learning to dance, to walking gracefully, to learning the piano and all the things needed to make myself the embodiment of the "Perfect Princess".

The values I got were also very satisfying, even I was also called a genius by all my teachers.

Yes, it is natural because besides being beautiful I am also a genius. I can learn everything very quickly.

Unlike the Ritzia Nee-sama who is difficult in any of her etiquette learning. Even though we are brothers, we have never been close to each other.

Each of us chose a different path. Even in the palace we rarely looked back and spoke.

Yes, I know very well. The reason why Ritzia Nee-sama stayed away from me. Because I always get more attention from everyone than he does.

Naturally, if he hates me. And I don't want to deal with him either.

Despite my bad relationship with Ritzia Nee-sama. I realized that just learning etiquette was still not enough to boost my reputation in public.

Because my goal is to open up just to get the attention of the nobles of this Kingdom alone. I also have to get the attention of the community as a whole.

Therefore, I deliberately included myself to take part in social events held by Nobles.

The plan was a great success.

I read the news in the city newspaper that wrote an article about myself on the front page. And people started praising me as "The Virtuous Princess".

Honestly, I don't like that title because the impression is too tacky to give to a beautiful and perfect Princess like myself.

Well, but I have to hold it in and keep a gentle smile if anyone calls me that.

Thanks to that as well, I have so many supporters in the Kingdom's ministerial council, the nobles are also many who are trying to apply to me. So too with nobles from outside the Kingdom.

Apparently, this glorious achievement of mine has already been heard all the way to another Kingdom. Although this was actually beyond my original plan.

At first, when I turned 14. Using my genius, I want to ask Dad to make me a diplomat abroad.

But, my reputation as a "Good-hearted Princess" first spread abroad.

Well, nowhere does it matter to me. If it ends the same.

(----------)

Today, my Vanessa Sera Ingrid has arrived in Linic city. The center of the Arcadia region.

Why did I decide to go to this area?

A few days ago I was remembering about my social activities in various regions of Ingrid Kingdom.

Not without, the reason I did it. All this I did was to further enhance the good reputation throughout the entire Ingrid Kingdom.

Almost all the regions I have visited, and I have always had the impression and preferential treatment of all the landlords and peoples of the region.

Now, there are 1 area that I have not yet reached, namely the border area adjacent to the Sea and surrounded by mountains, Arcadia.

Therefore, I asked His Majesty for permission to go towards that territory. But, something is very strange.

Dad would usually panic if I asked to go visit another region. However, for some reason when I said I wanted to go to Arcadia, Dad got very excited and even allowed me without much reason.

Well, whatever the reason behind it all is I don't care. What matters is my actions now.

Honestly, as soon as I reached Linic city the center of the Arcadia region. This place is not as special as the other areas I have visited.

Ordinary buildings, the road was ordinary even though it was quite clean. And the facilities in this city are too standard.

Not yet there, the weather in this region is very bad. The blazing sunlight that emanated instantly made my beautiful, white, clean, and smooth skin burning.

And although close to the sea, the wind that blows feels hot and very dry.

How can these people live in such a relaxed environment?

When I tried to find out, it seemed that the Arcadia region was unlike all the other regions in the Ingrid Kingdom.

In other regions including the capital experienced 4 seasons namely spring, summer, autumn and winter every year.

While the Arcadia region only experiences 2 seasons, namely summer and rainy season every year. And even more strangely, this region will be covered with snow only during December.

I just want to go home quickly.

But I have to hold back.

All this in order to improve my good reputation in public and gain the support of the landlords and their citizens.

The day after the break in the Inn we rented, and while waiting for the time to meet with the landlords of Arcadia. I decided to take a short walk in Linic city.

I decided to go out without a bodyguard, and so that I would not be noticed by everyone who passed by. I decided to use a hood to disguise it.

I walked while watching the surroundings. Fortunately, no one really recognized me thanks to this mute.

And because I'm busy walking without knowing the direction, without me realizing I ended up getting lost in an empty alley.

I tried to look around, trying to remember the path I just walked.

Just as I was thinking hard, I suddenly felt the presence of 2 adults from behind me.

And sure enough, when I turned around. I saw 2 adult men with fierce looks and muscular bodies smiling broadly at me.

"Bro, I think we got this tender prey".

"Well, you're right. Not just soft but good quality. If sold, it would be very expensive".

Eh? Waitie? Who do you mean? Don't tell me you're after me.

I started to get scared with these two people, who kept smiling broadly at me. Then one of them grabbed my hand and grasped it very tightly.

"Hey, little girl. Come with us".

"Just calm down, we're not biting, really".

I was scared trying to fight them.

"Let go!!! I don't want to come with you!!!".

With all my might I tried to remove the hand grip from the man.

"Hey, hey, no more fighting".

"PLEASE!!!! WHOEVER HELP ME!!!!".

"HEY, STOP SHOUTING OR I'LL BREAK YOUR HAND!!!".

I don't care if my hand is about to be broken by these two people. So I decided not to stop screaming for help.

"PLEASE!!!!! HELP ME!!!! PLEASE SAVE ME!!!!!".

As I continued to rebel, I kept screaming for help. Although, no one came.

Unfortunately, this action of mine actually made one of those people start to get angry.

"GIRL, DAMN!!!! YOU DIDN'T GIVE ME A CHOICE-".

Unable to finish what he said, from the back appeared a black shadow that directly hit his head.

"DORC!!! WHO-WHO-".

Looking at his partner who was hit, the one man immediately turned his head to find out who attacked his partner. But, just like his partner he immediately got a hit from the shadow figure.

Thanks to the blow, the man's hand released his grasp. At that moment I noticed a shadow figure that had helped me.

He's a boy who seems to be the same age as me with his black hair bushy and a little disheveled.

"You go, I'll arrest these people".

Without even looking, he told me to leave. Realizing the opportunity I decided to leave immediately without saying anything to him.

After that I didn't know what was going on, I kept running in fear without caring about the boy who helped me anymore.

Feeling that I was far enough away, I was finally able to breathe with relief from having escaped from those people.

I plan to return to the inn and rest. And about that boy? Well, I don't care either.

However, when I was about to step. I suddenly felt uncomfortable with all of this. Not to mention the image of the boy kept appearing in my mind.

Because I don't know how to. I decided to go to the guard post and tell them everything I've been through and ask them to help the boy who helped me earlier.

The knights followed me to the place where the boy was. And when we got there, the boy was being severely beaten by the two men.

Seeing that the knights I brought immediately snatched up the two men and immediately brought the boy in for medical help.

Arriving at the inn I used Protas to contact my father. He asked me to return to Algrand immediately.

And that very day, I immediately set off back to the Capital.

A few days after the incident, my father told me something important that the boy who helped me was safe even though he was still unconscious.

But, to my surprise when I was told that the boy was Dylan van Arcadia. The son of Earl Hyoga van Arcadia who runs the region.

(-----------)

A few days after the incident.

I got word from dad that Dylan was conscious of his coma.

Of course I'm glad to hear it. With him back to consciousness, I don't need to take responsibility.

Well, even though he's very kind-hearted because he wants to help me. It was also his own fault for acting strong pretentious against 2 men who were 3 times bigger than his body.

And all of this isn't all 100 percent my fault, is it?

Amidst the relief that I felt my father suddenly say something that really surprised me.

"Vanessa, there's something else I want to tell you besides Dylan-kun's condition".

"Is that dad?".

I tried to smile while looking at the father who somehow seemed very excited.

"Vanessa, I decided to match you to Dylan-kun".

Eh?

"Dad has conveyed this goodwill to your mother and stepmother, both of whom strongly agree with this idea".

Wait a minute, Dad.

"Dad hasn't told Dylan's parents about the engagement. And therefore, in a few days you will go to the Arcadia region as my representative to deliver this good news.".

I am a princess. Princess Royal. Why did you set me up with a noble son who only holds the title of Earl. Supposedly, my fiancee is a prince or at least Duke.

But, it seems that dad doesn't care about any of it. I don't know why he was so excited about this.

During the trip, I kept thinking about what was my reason for setting me up with Dylan. I'm sure this isn't just a thank you. There must be some other meaning.

However, if I think carefully this should also be beneficial to me.

As you know, as the most beautiful and reputable princess like myself. I kept getting many marriage application letters from all the nobles, either those who came from the Kingdom or those from other Kingdoms.

Honestly, I was uncomfortable with all those cover letters, and I also hated the way those who tried to seduce me in various ways. All this time I was confused to find a way to reject them all.

And now I have an idea.

I'll take this engagement and make Dylan my shield from people like them. And if anyone wants to vent hatred on me then let Dylan replace him for me.

I'll keep using her until I'm bored and after that I just throw her away like I do.

Well, maybe it's a cruel reply to the man who helped me. But, if you think objectively like me. It is like shooting a bird with a stone.

Actually there is one small problem that this engagement will not happen if one of us refuses.

But, for me it's not a problem. Because I'm sure Dylan won't turn down this engagement.

I'm 100 percent sure of that.

(----------)

The next day, after I took a break from the trip at the inn.

Me and a few of my bodyguards immediately went towards the Arcadia family's Mansion.

As soon as I stepped down from the carriage, what greeted me was Dylan himself being accompanied by a beautiful big-breasted Maid.

"Welcome, Miss Vanessa. I'm happy to welcome you to my family's Mansion".

"Thank you for the welcome, Mr Dylan!? I'm so flattered that you welcome me".

I express my gratitude, while looking down the body forward like the etiquette of nobles in general.

And Dylan also replied to her by doing the same.

After I took a good look, apparently he was quite handsome for the size of the son of the Earl who lived at the border.

But, I don't know why. Even though he welcomed me very well. I even felt that he was not interested or even lazy to see me.

"Because it's rude to let you be here. Let's follow me to the back garden, the servants have prepared a table, tea and some snacks for us".

"I accept it with pleasure".

Even the way he took me to the park. Looks like a person who has just met a person who is very troublesome and troublesome.

(----------)

In the garden behind the Mansion.

Dylan and I sat facing each other at a table, and in front of them were plenty of snacks and a cup of Tea.

After each tea. I started talking to him.

"Mr Dylan, how are you?".

".... My condition is getting better".

"Thank God, then".

Now I have to draw his attention and make him think that I'm a sincere person.

Then, I deliberately lowered my body in order to "apologize" and gain her sympathy.

"I'm sorry for what happened!?.... If only no one tried to help me!?.... You don't have to experience all this!?.... Again, I apologize profusely".

"On that,.... You don't have to worry Miss Vanessa!?.....It's only natural, we help each other!?...... And you don't have to apologize".

"Is that so!? I'm so glad to hear that".

I showed a relieved expression when I heard Dylan's words. Which means I managed to get his attention.

Good one!? Now it's time for the second step. However, I was immediately startled by the next word Dylan said.

"Then, if that's all you want to say then let me.... ".

Wait a minute, why is he talking as if he wants to kick me out? I have to say it quickly.

"Ethto.... I'm sorry, but that's not the only reason I'm here".

Dylan raised one of his eyebrows hearing what I was about to say.

And this is the time.

"Look,.... I have asked His Majesty for advice. As to what I should do to apologize to you, then they say that an apology alone will not be enough. So, uh,.... His Majesty suggested that you and I get engaged in return for everything that has happened".

Well, now how? Surprised, right? Stunned, right? You must not have expected and been impressed if the most beautiful princess in the Kingdom had come all the way just to propose an engagement with you.

I can tell by the smile you showed me. But, too bad I just want to make you as a shield only no more and no less. And once you're no longer useful, I'll definitely throw you out.

However, I'm sure at least you'll be happy going forward for "ever" being the fiancee of the most beautiful Princess in Ingrid Kingdom.

When my mind was so happy to think everything was going your way. Reality says otherwise.

Dylan who continued to put on a flat face smiled for a moment, then stood up and bowed his body and began to speak. Of course, his actions surprised me.

"...Earlier I apologized to you Miss Vanessa, despite your intentions and your family's excellent........ But, I must reluctantly reject it".

"Eh?"

Wait, what? I didn't hear wrong, did I?

"Mr Dylan can I know why?".

I asked Dylan for an explanation as to why he had rejected the engagement proposal I had submitted to him.

"..... We just know each other, ..it seems very strange that suddenly we are engaged without knowing the habits and personality of each of us...... It's either a good attitude or a bad attitude..... It would be better if we start by getting to know each other...... In the future neither you nor I will be disappointed or hurt".

A very unexpected reason.

He refused, because we didn't know each other? That only? Is that the only reason?

Is he stupid? Refusing to get engaged to me just on the grounds of absrud like that?

I was completely stunned, unexpected and could only be silent when I heard Dylan's reasoning just now.

"So you think we should start by getting to know each other, right?..... ".

I stood with a clouded face, as a sign of being overwhelmed by emotions.

".... Then Mr. Dylan, I'll step down first".

"..... Then let me take you back to the train".

I decided to leave and Dylan drove me back to the carriage.

During the return journey.

I was really very disappointed to be mixed with annoyance at the rejection that Dylan had done.

This was the first time I was completely rejected by someone else.

I kept emitting my angry aura until I didn't stop biting my mother's fingernail tip.

(----------)

The Palace.

The annoyance was still felt, I was completely despised by Dylan. Until this moment I still don't understand why he just rejected me.

Nobles and ordinary people, must be very happy to know that he will be the fiance of a Princess who is the most beautiful in the Kingdom like me.

But why is he different.

Then I began to look back on everything very carefully. Until I draw a conclusion.

That she refused the engagement to me was none other than because she was "buggy".

Yeah, nervous. Surely it's.

If you think about it again, it is only natural. Anyone would be nervous if a beautiful princess came and proposed an engagement to him.

His words about "we should know each other" were just a pretext to hide his nervousness.

All right, to make her not nervous and accept our engagement. I decided from now on that I would often exchange letters with him.

I started picking up some sheets of paper, stationery, stamps and envelopes. I started writing what I was thinking and sending it.

With the letter I sent, she would definitely be happy and start to rethink about our engagement.

But, the reality back does not side with me.

I sent 3 letters, no reply. I think he's still nervous about getting a personal letter written directly by the Princess.

30 letters.

He may be busy with his lessons.

50 letters.

Why hasn't he sent me a reply.

100 letters.

I started to feel annoyed that he didn't repay me. Even so I still send it.

As time went on I tried to be patient as much as possible while continuing to hold back my emotions.

And once the letter I sent stepped on the number 600. I can't hold back my emotions anymore.

"SCREWS!!!!! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!!!!! IT HAS BEEN A TOTAL OF 600 LETTERS I SENT BUT NONE OF THEM HE REPLIED TO!!!! Damn what the hell does he want?".

Then I had an idea, sending one of my servants to work at the Arcadia Mansion while continuing to look for reasons why Dylan did not return the letter at all

After 2 years of being missed, a total of more than 1000 letters have been sent. That's when I found out why Dylan didn't return a single letter from me.

From the maid report I told you to work there. It turned out that every letter I sent him was torn or he burned without even seeing what it contained.

When he was asked, Dylan replied. "I'm so lazy to deal with a narcissistic, caper, complicated and complicated super-duper chick like her".

Heard all the taunts he made for me. It makes me no longer able to hold back my emotions.

Finally, I vented by scrambling all the items in my room until they were smashed to pieces.

This is the first time I've felt insulted.

This is the first time anyone has rejected me.

This is the first time I've been so angry.

This is the first time I've been completely ignored.

It's the first time... I don't get what I want.

"But you're Dylan van Arcadia.... Someday I will definitely repay you..... And make you bow before me".
