The Villainess Needs A Hero 

Chapter 07: Breaking Free Part 1

Scarlett Mila

The sun is almost setting and although I am not allowed to go out of my room at this time of the day I still decided to sneak out without the butler noticing. How did I actually do that when I am in fact literally being controlled by the system? It is simple I just trigged an event. Since, I am very much aware of  what is going to happen next in this world since I am the creator and the developer of this game, I was also able to remember what things have triggered the villainess' rebelling actions.

Technically the system announced to me that there was an attack at the Imperial Palace and Sean was was taken as a hostage and my father was wounded. And just then the system gave me choices on how should I conduct myself, and of course I chose the option A, which is to cry and act as a worried little girl although I am really not because I already know the fact that Sean was not wounded because he was able to take down the rebel who dared to take him as hostage. While that father of ours got wounded because he tried to protect the crown prince but I also know that the wound is nothing serious. 

And so because of the choice I made I was able to got out of my room without trouble and here I am currently waiting for their return. This is the last straw actually, if that old man's affection will still decrease drastically including those dimwits affection then I will carry out the plan I have decided years ago. 

Just a few more minutes I could already see their carriage from where I am standing. I composed myself and I keep my face straight as possible but I also made sure that my eyes are teary as possible. Gosh! Can't believe my acting classes in the past will actually help in my survival here.

In just a minute, the carriage stopped in front of me, the door opened and automatically my father got out from it and my two older brothers followed him. I noticed how his gaze shifted on me and he even frowned when he saw me. 

The coachman looked so nervous, I know what he is thinking and that is this man will still hurt his own flesh and blood blaming all his fault and flaws especially the fact that his wife died because of he is too weak and complacent that he could handle anything and everything.

A. Father! You're home! I heard what happened? How are you?

B. Stay Silent

C. Father! Thank goodness you're safe!

I can't help but to mentally roll my eyes because of these annoying options. These are so f*cking cringe. Anyway since this is the last time that I am going to talk to him sensibly, I will break the bindings of this system, I don't care if I will be wounded internally or externally by what I am going to do. Anyway, wounds can heal and not to mention I can also heal myself after every s**t has been finished.

I slowly tried to open my mouth, and I immediately forced myself to speak. 

I can't help but to curse inside my mind and I tried even harder to force myself to speak and just then..

"I am happy that no one got hurt from the rebel attack. What would happen if my brother would end up inside a coffin because you were saving another child father?" - I said. I successfully said and as if on cue the system appeared right in front of me with red capitalized letters

WARNING! A BUG HAS BEEN DETECTED! WARNING A BUG HAS BEEN DETECTED>

And as if on cue I can feel the urge to puke and I also felt something sliced on my legs. F*ck this system is so f*cking brutal. I tasted blood inside my mouth but I know that I cannot let anyone see that I am puking such thing so I decided to swallow it although it is quite disgusting.

I kept a straight face and I saw how shocked my brothers are from my peripheral vision but what almost made me grin is the shocked and angry look on our father's face.

I watched him walked towards the entrance and I was about to be happy that he did not lift a finger on me and I am about to have seconds thoughts when suddenly I feel to the ground and I felt a hot painful pain on my back. 

"You f*cking shut your mouth! You have no right to say that to me" - he exclaimed and that's when I realized that I was really expecting too much. And that I haven't expected him to hit his own daughter with a steaming water magic. 

It was his latest magical invention, to make the water magic he wields boil. F*ck

I grinned on my mind because he only proved to me how worthless of a father he is and that is the reason why the original Scarlett Mila turned into a jealous villainess. I am so stupid to expect that he would act differently because I said the different words he is supposed to hear.

I can see on my peripheral vision the look on my two older brothers' face, however I also know that they cannot do anything so to save their own asses they'd rather see me suffer from the tremendous pain.

"Let's go inside Shawn and Sean. Don't mind that girl" - our father exclaimed and just then they disappeared from my line of sight. When I heard the door closed I immediately stood up and I once again grinned when I saw what the system has for me

Great! This is really f*cking great!

| Scarlett Mila's Room |

After that f*****g confrontation, I immediately got back to my room alone. The coachman was actually about to help me but I strongly declined because he will also anger that bastard father of mine. Which is not good because he has a family to support and he will immediately lose his job if he will help me.

Not to mention this is my battle and this battle of mine will soon come to an end. I am now looking at myself in the mirror and I could see the cut that the system has made to my legs. It is a cut neither short or long but since it is not easily healed by healing magic it is still painful.

"Are you really going to leave this place?" - Alarick asked

"Yes I am" - I replied through our mind link and both of them nod their heads. They support me I know and that is because they have seen how cruel this household to me is.

I looked at the clock and it's already eleven in the evening. It is the perfect time to escape this place without anyone noticing, and I no one would see me having such wounds without anything attacking me. 

I immediately grabbed the bed sheets and blanket that I tied together for almost six months. Since no one comes to my room to clean no one knew that I stole every sheets and blankets I could find in the laundry and keep it here. I could still remember how I struggled those times with wounds all over my body because I am not following the damn system.

But right now it is worth it.

My two wolves carried it, they opened the window and they immediately threw it outside. I slowly walked towards the window and just then the system appeared

I smiled and once again I opened my mouth and I forced myself to speak

"Escaping your clutches motherf*cker" - I said and as if on cue a wound appeared on my right cheek and again there is this red capitalized words that states warning. And my steps are getting heavier than the usual. 

But it's always mind over body so I continued to force myself and every two steps I take I can feel pain on my inside and the warning signs got even bigger and its already blinking.

I can see the worried look on my two wolves but I smiled and I continued walking until I reached the window. As if on cue I immediately puked and I smiled when I saw my own blood stained on the pure white sheet.

Oh well this is only the start and I know I will feel a lot more pain as I go down this trail but I am f-cking prepared for it. So, f-cking prepared especially if it means I am going gain the freedom that I want and I deserve and if it meant that I am not going to die because of my family's own betrayal.

Like f-ck Bring it on system!
