The Villainess only wants to go home

Chapter 17 - True face

Ariana sat gracefully with her hands overlapping each other on her lap. Her soft brown hair was styled in a crown with small pearl beads on her braids. Ariana had little make up on to outshine her natural beauty, her plump pink lips was glittering from the lip gloss she applied beforehand. Her purple diamond filled dress was beautiful on her for something ancient. I mean she really outdone herself this time.

Yet hidden within all that elegance was the revolting feeling towards me.

Yep me, who seemingly picked out some random dress that didn't fit for the occasion and did her ponytail in a hurry. I was the equivalent of a troll that woke up one morning and decided to go meet the prince. It wasn't entirely the reason to why she still looked at me that way, it was because I was leaning against the carriage wall with my legs spread across the seat and my hands crossed moping around as I cursed myself for agreeing to come along. It's not my fault that the road ahead of us is bumpy and long that my butt cheeks is numb.

I was not lady like, and I didn't give a donkeys ass if Ariana didn't like the way I presented myself. It's not like I'm trying to impress anyone unlike some people. I eyed Ariana.

She can jump off a cliff for all I care.

I looked over to Ariana, she was trying her hardest to keep calm, I could tell by the way she was gritting her teeth quietly and her knuckles were white from gripping her dress to firmly.

I ignored her irritated stares and minded my own business like I always.

"I have never met someone with such poor and disrespectful manners" her voice hid disgust.

I looked at her with a bored expression. "And I have never met someone so deceitful like you" I shot back.

She mumbled a curse under her breath thinking I didn't hear her, but I heard her well.

I wish I could travel through time and stop my past self from agreeing to her. 'Money has taken over my brain'.

~Flashback~

I was out from that horrid room. I nearly died by listening to her fake innocent voice. 'Who was she fooling anyway?' I nearly shut the door completely when suddenly Ariana spoke.

"I will pay handsomely if you accompany me".

What is Ariana planning to do that she's so desperate for me to come. If I was her, I would go by myself to have tea with the prince then to have my sister who was the fiancé to come along and make things so awkward. 'Yet Ariana is willing to pay me to accompany her? how strange of her to do that. This is definitely not the Ariana I read'.

I walked backwards, shutting the door with a slam. Something with this Ariana is very fishy and it's getting on my nerves.

I crossed my hands over my chest and eyed her from top to bottom searching for any scheming intention. Ariana sat on the couch gracefully like any noble lady, she held an innocent face that would have fooled everyone in thinking she was Saintes but to me she didn't look like one bit.

This Ariana didn't look innocent, or kind like in the story but sneaky double-dealing bitch. What is happening, why is the story suddenly like this. Don't tell me this one of those Isekai where the protagonist was actually the villainess the whole time. I was baffled, I was lied to the whole time.

My eye twitched in irritation. Just great, don't tell me I have to deal with her schemes until I leave.

'She probably doesn't want me to come along to tea but just want Diana to feel jealous that her sister and the prince are showing affection towards each other' I wanted punch Ariana's face and cripple it. It's fine since she's evil right? Right?
