The Villainess Wants To Go Home

Chapter 15 - Dragons

My peaceful slumber was interrupted by the chirping of morning birds. I buried my head under my

pillow hoping to block out the noisy birds from outside.

"Daisuke shut those birds up please" I unconsciously called out for my big brother.

There was no answer from my brother making me a little worried. I rose my head from the pillow and

turned my head in the direction of the door. My heart ached when the realisation of waking up in a

novel was not a dream but reality.

"So, it wasn't a dream after all" I yawned, rubbing my eyes to fully wake me up. I glanced around the

fancy decorated medieval room and remembered the events from last night.

'I wonder if Ariana is still in Diana's room'

I slid my legs out from the blanket and got off the big bed, I walked towards the bathroom to wash

myself up.

I finished washing up and slid under the same dress as last night since there were no clothes, I was

unable to find in the wardrobe that suited my taste.

I made sure the room I used was left like how I entered. Opening the door, I took one last glance at the

cleanroom before taking off with my journal in my hand.

I strolled through the huge corridor passing by dozens of maids and butlers paying them no mind as

they bowed their heads respectfully, disgust hidden under their bows.

Finally reaching Diana's room and listened carefully for any sign of life in the room. I heard nothing and

their presence didn't linger which meant she had already left last night.

'I guess all about having to stay all night was just you blabbering nonsense' I rolled my eyes at the

stupid conversation between the maids and Ariana I eavesdropped on last night.

I turned the doorknob with a click, I entered the room like I owned the place which I kind of did since

whatever's Diana is technically mine even though I'm inhabiting her body and stealing everything she

owns to selfishly find my way home but it's not like she's here to stop me.

I wasn't surprised to see Stella and Lily dusting off the shelves and patting down the bed.

They quickly paused what they were doing when I stepped in, dropping to a bow, they greeted me a

good morning.

"My Lady, Diana where have you been all night? You got us worried sick of your unknown

whereabouts" Stella's voice showed concern and worry yet she still couldn't fool me with her fake

worried tone. I didn't answer either looked her way, continuing to the reason I came back to Diana's

room and that's to change my dress to something else considering the fact the dress nearly tripped me

over a couple of times when walking to the library and Diana's room yesterday and today.

"Good morning to you both" I greeted them a morning as well but I was still cold towards them. "Please

bring me a new dress for me to wear" I ordered.

"As you wish my lady" they both lowered their heads with courtesy before making their way to the

wardrobe in the far corner of the room.

"I want the dress to be simple not over board with ribbons thank you" I told them from across the room

where I was sitting on the bed.

Even though I would look through the wardrobe myself, I'm in no mood to go through that vile wardrobe

filled with hideous looking dresses that will unreliably over power my perfectly good sense in fashion.

"My lady would you prefer this" Lilly revealed me a pink dress that had a few ribbons and sequence on

it. Looking at was revolting. I hate the colour pink; it reminds of me of Barbie having everything in her

'life in the dreamhouse. I shivered in a disgusted manner. 'I was close to walking into the ball dressed

like Lady Gaga in the 18th century then to look like a muffin lady now Barbie. I wouldn't be surprised if I

had to dress up like a Sexy Kim Kardashian who decided to change her whole wardrobe into a

medieval era'

"Absolutely not" I huffed.

Lily nodded in my response and hung the dress back whilst Stella took another dress out.

"How about this one my lady" she hovered the dark green dress filled with dozens of sequences. It had

a few laces and ribbons but it was the simplest one I've seen. 'How come I didn't see that yesterday?'

"That doesn't belong to me" I spoke.

"Lady Ariana came to your dorms last night to have a chat but you were not present. Lady Ariana

fancied the dress you tailored for the Crown Prince's ball so she borrowed it and replaced it with this

one. She told us to inform you about it" Lilly explained the situation to me. I rose an eyebrow at the

sudden statement.

I crossed my hands and gave them a watchful stare. 'Ariana fancied my tailored dress? Has this bitch

been scavenging through Diana's closet without my realisation? This isn't the Ariana I read in the novel,

yes, she may stick her nose in places that should be kept out but she never goes through Diana's

personal belongings. Ever'

I like the fact she admired the dress I remade but borrowing it without my permission, that's just

crossing the line. I wasted precious time altering it to the way I like it and I never even got to wear it at a

special occasion.

I sighed shaking my head. Why should I care about some lousy dress anyway? It's not like I'm taking

the dress with me. At least she left me a dress that I can wear that isn't hideous. That I can thank

Ariana for.

"She can keep the dress for all I care" I gestured.

Lilly and Stella gave each other questioned looks, they must have expected me to flip out and go on a

rampage to her door yelling at her to give the dress back. I rolled my eyes at the thought of it and

ignored the looks the two gave each other.

"Just get a me a dress that reaches my ankles" I said, already lost my patience towards picking a dress

out. Wearing Ariana's dress is just making me feel uneasy and I feel like somethings unexpected is

going to occur if I wear it. I don't know what but I trust my gut feelings then my desire to walk out

dressing like a normal medieval European noble lady then a big oversized frosty decorated cupcake.

"Yes, my lady"

"hmmm" I narrowed my eyes at the gold, Silver and copper coins stacked on the coffee table. I piled

them in order of expenses for my journey through Alphyria.

I need to be smart with my money or I might run out without even getting close to going home. The

no.1 assassin of the 21st century was found sitting on the streets begging for money. I waved that

scene away. I'll make I don't become poor by then.

Copper coins is worth little out of the 3. With 100 copper coins being the equivalent of 1 silver and 100

silver which that is the equivalent of 1 gold coin.

Gold coins are rare amongst the lower states of the Hierarchy with the Emperor having access to gold

through and through. What can I say, he is the emperor, he ought to be rich anyway.

Looking at it now, I need transportation if I'm willing to go quicker but there are no cars or planes in this

world. '**** I hate ancient worlds'

It suddenly hit me. 'How can I be so forgetful?' I slapped my forehead.

This world uses dragons to go to destinations oh and don't forget the flying horses but dragons are

common in this world, some are friendly and some are not. Having a dragon in this world is everything,

to taming, riding and even breeding. Each empire has their own elemental dragons.

Yet you just don't randomly and go get a dragon, each breed is assigned for every status. Peasants if

they have the money to, can buy a dragon yet can only receive a weak and small dragon which in

Alphyria are called Parvus Dragons. They are the weakest and smallest dragons out of the five

specious.

The other 4 are, Mediocris Dragon coming after the Parvus dragons. These dragons can be afforded

by merchants or farmers or sometimes nobles however they are used for labour or training and even to

breed and sell for extra money. Fortis dragons are only used by Knights. Ignis dragons are rode as

traveling dragons like taxis if you ask me. The last of all are Regius Dragons. These dragons are rare

to come by and only respond to royal bloods or branches of the royal blood lines. Getting one to

respond to you is not going to happen if you're not of royal blood yet catching a wild one can give you a

good amount of money to give a full life vacation if sold to the black market.

However, like my world where animals are treated harshly only for beauty, dragons are hunted and

killed for their beautiful scales and organs which people say can cure any illness. Which is absurd.

In my case it would be difficult to get a dragon since all the dragons Diana encountered rejected her

thus making her a laughing stock. 'Great. This has just made things even more difficult for me'. I don't

want get me started on Ariana. Nearly all the dragons in the stables wanted to be with her since the

light magic residing in her attracted them. Her status grew which got the attention of the Dragon Prince.

Lykos the crown prince of Drakon.

That's the prince I need to stay away from the most. He has nothing better to do then to be an arrogant

cocky bastard with a foul mouth. He made Diana cry a few times and humiliated her as well.

He will just make me lose my temper and I trust me he doesn't want to see me loose my temper. It

didn't end well to the last person who pressed my buttons.

Yet he was killed by Damon because of a misunderstanding. No pointing any fingers.

**** you, Ariana.

Marcus who was an excellent dragon rider in his time was very proud of Ariana.

Diana was outraged, jealous of Ariana. She plotted revenge for the humiliation. Diana drugged the

dragon she rode and trained to go crazy one day when Ariana was riding. Ariana nearly died but thanks

to Lykos and his magic she was saved. No one found out who did it because Ariana forgave Diana

before they even finished the investigation.

I cried for the poor dragon that was being dragged into human mess. He just wanted to fly peacefully.

To be honest I only started reading the trilogy because of the legends, mythology and the dragons in

the book not the story itself but still a great book.

*Rumble rumble* I placed my hand on my stomach. "I'm starving where is my breakfast".

Lilly and Stella left to get my breakfast 30 minutes ago and still haven't returned. They better not be

trying to poison me; I'm not supposed to die until 3 months' time.

*Knock Knock*

Speak of the devil. 'That must be my breakfast' my stomach rumbled again. "Ok. Ok. Stomach be

patient the food isn't going to run away" I smacked it, silencing it.

"You may enter" I answered the door.

The door swung open with Lilly and Stella trailing in a trolley filled with my breakfast.

'Yes food. Glorious food' I drooled at the sight of the food, I frowned when I realised the food that were

served to Diana were always bland and distasteful. "****" I grumbled pinching the bridge of my nose.

'First the horrible treatment now the food. WHY THE FOOD?'

"I have been eating this crap for 2 days now" I uttered under my breath so they won't hear me.

"My lady your breakfast" Stella said. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"You may leave" I shooed them away so I can at least enjoy my meal peacefully even if it is horrible

without there annoying presence.

"Lady Diana. Lady Ariana has asked permission to see you for a chat" Lilly spoke.

I rose an eyebrow. "Does she want another dress. She's welcome to have all the dresses in my

wardrobe for all I care"

"N-no. That is not the case my lady" Stella shook her head.

'I don't have time for her to come here and have a heart-to-heart chat with me. It will just piss me off' I

scowled at the thought of her irritating gentle green eyes staring at me with a fake sweet smile. I don't

think I could keep myself from slapping her.

"Please tell her that I'm very busy and cannot talk to her right now" I waved them away.

"But my lady she said it's very urgent" Lilly sounded determined which made me wonder.

'What could Ariana tell me that so important' I looked at them suspiciously as I rose an eyebrow. I saw

a hint of sweat form on Stella's brow, she was looking down avoiding my eyes while she fiddled with

her fingers but for Lilly, she stood firmly with her hands in front of her skirt, her aura imitated a person

of undaunted.

I sighed in defeat. "I'll inform you when I'm free"

"I will let Lady Ariana know." They bowed before shuffling their way back to wherever they came from.

I looked over to the food that lay on the tray. It was displayed beautiful and the smell was rather

appeasing, odd for bland food.

I narrowed my eyes at it. 'Are they trying to poison me by poisoning my food and luring me to it by

making it look appetising' my eye twitched from annoyance.

"They wouldn't poison Diana. Would they?" I scratched my head in thought.

I approached the trolley and inspected the food. I picked up a fork and started to poke the pancakes

decorated with whip cream and berries which was kind of odd because they didn't do it the last past

two days I was here. 'But still, nothing out of the ordinary'.

I have been checking my food these past two days. A habit as an assassin.

Always check your surroundings, your belongings and your food. You never know what may kill you.

I sliced a little piece of the pancake with one of the forks I chose on the trolley and placed it on my fork.

I embraced myself for the horrid bland taste on my tongue as I shoved the fork in my mouth.

The sweet taste of pancake melted in my mouth. My eyes widened in confusion. 'What did I just eat?' it

was the same old disgusting food from yesterday or the day before, it rather tasted like actual

pancakes.

I took another bite. The luscious taste of the pancake melted in my mouth again, the soft, sugary of the

pancake on mouth made my eyes water in joy.

"Thank you" I clasped my hands in bliss. It seems like the chicken sandwich from last night that I made

to them paid off.

Mother always told me that if I show just a little kindness I will be rewarded.

'Sweet soft pancakes are my reward for being kind to chef and staff in the kitchen and making them a

chicken sandwich even though I threatened to break the chefs hand. Thank the lord'
