The Villainess Needs A Hero

Chapter 14: I Just Want A Peaceful Life

Scarlett Mila

"Master, why do you have to change your hair color again? Red is so much better than black" - Aesir asked after she finished dying my hair black. I asked her to dye my hair before I could show myself to the townspeople since I have already completely made up my mind to become a legitimate villainess of this world.

And by doing so I need to change my hair color again to erase my identity as the 'red-haired Scarlett' and I already decided that my name wouldn't be Scarlett but I'll use my second name instead which is 'Mila'. I actually don't like that name but I don't have a choice and it would be pretty much troublesome to come up with a new name because all my assets are named after 'Scarlett Mila'

And I will have trouble in my assets if I decided to come up with a new name and transfer my assets to that identity because the duke and the treasury will more or less need to verify my identity by looking for people who could testify that I am an legitimate person of that identity.

I really did not expect that this world also have such system to prevent frauds and identity theft. Tsk I can't believe how those employees of mine made this world so complicated and has lots of features. If only I knew that I will die that night and be reincarnated to this world I should have made the game a whole lot easier and in favor of my character when I finally reincarnated.

"Imagine if I walk around with my hair colored red, people will instantly suspect that I am an illegitimate child of the emperor and I don't want to be called at the palace. Having my hair colored with black will lessen that possibility, however it will surely attract the attention of the nobles but they will not recklessly summon me to the palace. They would rather watch my movements." - I said and Aesir nod her head which means she finally understood why I decided to change the color of my hair.

It is really such a pity that I need to let go of my hair colored red but I can't do anything about it. Maybe I'll just color my hair again -- oh I guess I cannot do that because after two years I'll probably return the original color of my hair. 

I stood up from my seat and I stared at my own reflection on the mirror. I touched my newly dyed hair and I am actually quite satisfied of the results. I actually feel like I am seeing my past self right now. My hair in my past life is as black as this one because I really never dyed my hair before although some of my friends told me that I look good with certain colors such as Brazilian brown, ash gray or even peach. And my hair is also as long as the one I have now, it is neither too long or too short. 

Well, three years ago my hair reached my hips but I decided to let Aesir cut it short because it is so troublesome to take a bath with such long hair and also I don't want to always ponytail it. 

"By the way, Aesir, Alarick" - I called out their attention and when I turn around to look at them they are already back to their wolf form. Well, the two really prefers their original form than taking a human one. And it's kind of understandable since they neither like or despise human beings. Well, they made it clear to me years ago that they like me as their master and they also made it clear that they dislike the human beings who tries to destroy the balance of this world. 

But when they said that years ago, it actually got me thinking that what if I am part of those people who destroyed this so called balance since I am technically not from here. I actually don't know what is the plan of the heavens by bring me here? Like they made me experience s**t then what? they are going to make me some heroic villainess that is going to restore the balance of the world? Like seriously?

If I would be given a chance to talk to whoever that is who delivered my soul to this game I would instantly curse him or her. 

"What is it master?" - Alarick asked as he lick his paws which made me roll my eyes subconsciously. 

"From now on you don't have to call me master, especially when you guys are in your human form. You could call me Mila until we finish our business here and after that you can call me Scarlett or Scar whatever you like" -  I said and as if on cue the two looked at me with their shocked expressions. Well, we've been together for almost seven years already and I already memorized every expression they have in their wolf form. 

"That's not possible master! It is against our boundaries as your familiar!" - Aesir exclaimed

"Yes, you are our first master after five hundred years  and we cannot just disrespect you by addressing you with your name" - Alarick exclaimed as well which made me roll my eyes subconsciously for the second time around. Tsk he's pretending again. I know that being a black noble wolf he is quite arrogant, he is full of himself and the only person he respect is Aesir since she is a guardian as well.

He looks lowly of human beings, knights, emperors and magicians. He sees them as a prey that he could hunt anytime. And he is like that when I first met him seven years ago. He actually underestimated me but that's alright, past is past anyway and I have already proven and tested why he is so proud of himself because indeed he is powerful and the title of a  guardian suits him very well.

But still I'd rather let him call me by my name because these two calling me Master for seven long years already is making me feel weird. It makes me cringe. 

"What? Do I have to use our familiar contract to make you two say my name?" - I said while I raise my right eyebrow at them and the two groaned.

"Fine" - both of them said, however they still groaned because agreeing to what I am asking is clearly against their will. But because they fear the contract they agreed to it.

Our familiar contract is typically what binds them to be my familiar only until the day I perish. I can use it to order them to do something even if it is against their will. I can ask them to kill all the people around here using the contract and if I use it, whenever they think or try to disobey my orders they will experience extreme pain. 

And because I know that fact, I haven't tried using it against them because the three of us already have a strong bond that a contract does not really matter. If they want to be free after I finish all the act of being a heroic villainess then I could immediately do that. 

Tsk I honestly just want to escape my fate of getting killed by my own flesh and blood and by being accused of something that I really did not do. 

All the finding the source of the problems around here is just a side quest for me. A side quest that I need to accomplish first because when I solve that s**t then I would instantly avoid being accused of things that I haven't done such as killing my own mother, controlling monsters to attack and kill people and many more.

After all of these has been accomplished I just want to live a peaceful life as hmm an ordinary person? no I prefer living a life of a villainess now because it is undeniable that I have lots of perks of being one. Pfft if someone is playing this game, I am sure they will surely be pissed off because of me as the villainess, because I am surely going to make them, the leads of the story experience hell.
