CHAPTER ONE
“ I've always wondered... ”
“ Why can't a villain have a Happy Ending?... ”
“ Most of them are only Broken Heroes... ”
“ Something not everyone can see... ”
“ ... ”
?: U-ugh...
A kid with scarlet hair and green eyes slowly opened her eyes as she slowly sits up on her bed.
?: ( Where the hell am I?... )
She looked around and sees an unfamiliar room.
While looking around she noticed her hair and touched it.
?: ( Scarlet hair?... )
As she wondered why her hair was scarlet red, the door slowly opened and as a maid entered.
?: ( Don't tell me that i—... )
Maid: L-lady scarlett... I've come to bring your breakfast...
The maid lowered her head as she walks in, closer to scarlett.
Scarlett: ha?...
The maid flinches and kneeled on the ground.
Maid: I-im deeply sorry, my lady!... Please spare me!..
Scarlett starred at the maid in silence.
Scarlett: ...
AFEW HOURS PASSED BY.
AT THE DUKE'S OFFICE.
A man with scarlet red hair and crimson red eyes, signing some documents in his table.
Argos: What do you mean “the lady's acting different”?
[ Argos Argente O'Hara | 40 years old ]
The man with blonde hair and blue eyes lowered his head.
Philip: I heard from the maids that the young Lady has been acting weird for the past hours...
Philip: The lady hasn't scold her maids and stayed at her room...
Argos continued to sign the documents.
Argos: ...is that so?
Philip: y-yes.. your grace...
Argos: let her be... I'm sure she's just doing fin—
Before argos could even finish his sentence someone knocked at the door.
Argos: who is it?... Philip, could you open the door.
Philip bowed and went to open the door.
Philip: *opens the door* m-my lady? what are you doing here?
Scarlett looked up.
Scarlett: I need to speak with his grace..
Philip: i-is that so?... ( the lady does speak differently ) come inside, my lady. I'll go get some tea for you and his grace.
Scarlett nodded and went inside.
Argos pauses and looks up at scarlett
Argos: what brings you here, scarlett?
Scarlett: ...
Scarlett just starred at her father.
Argos: ...
Scarlett: ...
Philip: ( what is this intense atmosphere... )
Argos sighed.
Argos: Have a seat.
Scarlett: thank you.
Scarlett takes a seat and philip served her some tea.
Scarlett: I'm here to ask permission.
Argos: Permission to what?
Philip: ( so intense... )
Scarlett: to throw me out of the family as early as possible.
Philip: E-eh?!
Argos: throw you out of the family?
Scarlett: yes.
Argos: why?

Scarlett: ...
Argos: answer—
Scarlett: I'm nothing but a disgrace in the duke's family. It would be embarrassing if the duke's name gets dirty because of my immaturity.
Philip: L-lady that's...
[ Scarlett Rina O'Hara | 13 years old ]
Argos: ...
Scarlett: ...
Argos: *sighs* No, go to your room.
Scarlett: Very well.
Scarlett stood up and bows as she goes out of the room.
Philip closed the door.
Philip: Duke, are you alri—
Argos: I don't want to talk about, philip.
Philip: ofcourse...
WITH SCARLETT AT HER ROOM.
Scarlett sitting beside her window looking outside
Scarlett: ( I was hoping he'd agree.. that was a waste of time. )
“ Scarlett Rina O'Hara.. First Daughter of the Duke Argos, who's known to be the hero of the war. ”
“ And here I am, reincarnated into his daughter.. who is supposed to be the second villain in this Novel ”
“ Loving you Unconditionally. Is the title of this Novel ”
“ A story of a woman name Alicia.. the female lead, she was bound to meet the villain at the age of 18 while running away from the monsters. ”
“ Luciano, the main villain.. saved the female lead from the monsters and they became good friends... Not until at the coronation of the crown prince Khalil.. ”
“ Khalil, the male lead fell in love with Alicia at his coronation day.. and that's where Luciano and Khalil fought each other to death just for Alicia's hand and love... ”
Scarlett: How ironic... ( How scarlett is destined to die in Luciano's hand after helping him all the way. )
Scarlett: ( I'm bored.. I miss my work from my past life.. Business woman in the morning.. and a Killer at night.. Assassin or so... )
Maid: ...
Scarlett: ... *tilts her head* what's your name?
The maid flinches and lowered her head.
Maria: M-maria.. your highness...
Scarlett: I see.
Maria: i-is there something you need, my lady?...
Scarlett: can you take me to the training ground?...
Maria: ah.. forgive me, but I cannot take you there, my lady..
Scarlett: Because of?...
Maria: Ladies aren't allowed at the training grounds, it's too dangerous.. knowing there knights training, my lady...
Scarlett: I see. ( That's right.. the O'Hara Residence is one of the reasons why they won the war 5 years ago. Due to hardcore training.. it makes the O'Hara Residence have one of the mighties knights in the kingdom... )
Maria: are you alright, my lady?...
Scarlett: ( it's exciting, I miss killing. )
Maria: ( the lady is more scarier than before.. )
Scarlett: speaking of knights..
Maria: y-yes?
Scarlett: *looks at maria* isn't my first brother a knight?
Maria: you mean.. the young master Noah?...
Scarlett: yes, I heard he's the first captain of Section A1 Achlys.
[ Nicolas Cage O'Hara | 21 years old ]
Maria: y-yes.. the young master is currently at the palace reporting for the current situation at the capital..
Scarlett: *stares at maria* ... I see
Maria: ... ( I didn't know the lady knows about the young master being a knight at the palace.. the young master rarely goes home after all.. )
THE NEXT DAY.
With Maria Walking to Scarlett's room.
Maria: ...
Maria stopped infront of the door and knocks.
Maria: Young lady? I've brought your breakfast...
Maria slowly opened the door and goes inside.
Maria: lady scarlett?...!
Maria saw a dead body laying on the ground and ended up dropping the tray of food and runs out of the room.
Maria: The young lady is missing!!
WITH ARGOS AND PHILIP WALKING AT THE HALLWAY.
Argos: What's with all the noise—
Maria: y-your grace!
Maria kneeled and lowered her head.
Maria: t-there was a dead body i-inside of the young lady's room... She's also g-gone...
Argos flinches as his eyes widened.
Argos: philip..
Philip: right away, your grace.
Argos: Find the young lady, this instance! Gather all the knights and search the whole kingdom!
Maria: ( y-young lady... i hope you're all right.. )
MEANWHILE ON THE TRAINING GROUNDS.
Scarlett with the other knights are having a duel.
Scarlett: *slashed her sword* faster.
Knight: u-urk!—
Knight: Woah! The young lady seems to know alot about swords!
Knight: where do you think she got that talent? Hah!
Knight: another prodigy child of his grace HAHAHAHA!
Scarlett: Hmm.. ( should I try to use.. Aura? Just like what the other swordsmasters do? ) Who wanna go next? I need to spar.
Knight: young lady, how did you learn about swords?

Philip saw scarlett within the crowd.
Philip: y-young lady! What are you doing here!? We've been looking all over the residence for you!
Scarlett: ( oh- I'm dead. )
AT THE DUKE'S OFFICE.
Argos: Care to explain?
Scarlett: Explain what, your highness?
Argos: the dead body and why you are at the training grounds?
Scarlett: I killed the person in my room and it's a training grounds for a reason.
Philip & Argos: !?
Argos: you killed those assassins?...
Scarlett: I wouldn't be here if I didn't, right? Id be dead right now, if I didn't.
Philip: y-young lady.. do fix your tone when you speak to your father...
Argos: ( is this even still my child?... She talks as if she's already an adult... She should be trembling in fear right now.. for a 13 years old.. )
Scarlett: if there's nothing more to add, I'd like to be sent in my room.
Argos: How did you kill those Assassins?...
Argos looked at Scarlett's eyes and glared.
Scarlett looked back and gave back a cold look.
Scarlett: I wasn't your daughter for stupid reasons. It's only normal to Inherit your skills with swords, knowing your blood runs through all over my body.
Philip: ( the Young lady is scary.. huhu )
Argos: ... philip
Philip: * lowered his head* yes, your highness?
Argos: investigate who tried to harm the young lady of O'Hara.
Philip: Right away, your grace.
Scarlett: ( it looks like the queen made a move already, is this because I am the most qualified candidate for the crown princess position?... )
Argos: ... Are you alright?
Scarlett: yes.
Argos: You sure? You didn't get hurt or anything?
Scarlett: ( what's with him? All of the sudden him caring for scarlett? ) Yes, I'm alright and not hurt.
Argos: Hmm alright..
Scarlett: ah, yes. Your grace?
Argos: what is it?
Scarlett: how much money do I have left?
Argos: why ask?
Scarlett: I plan on going out to the capital tomorrow.
Argos: Well.. *takes afew documents and looks at it*
Argos: so far.. you have 660 million golds
Scarlett: *almost choked* !— i-i see. ( That's quite a money.. ) is this money enough to buy a mine in the mountains?
Philip: a mine?
Scarlett: yes, I plan on starting a small business soon, once I've left the resident.
Argos: why do you want to leave so bad?
Scarlett & Philip & Argos: ...
Scarlett sighed and crossed her arms.
Scarlett: I believe I've already said it when I first came here. my immaturity will only out stain to your name.
Argos: ...
Philip: ( ah.. his grace is disappointed... )
MOMENTS LATER AT SCARLETT'S ROOM.
Scarlett: ( I'm bored, there's no fun in this room. )
Scarlett stood up and looks infront of the mirror.
Scarlett: green eyes... ( I wonder.. where's Scarlett's mother.. there wasn't any information about her mother but her name... ) Stella Rosa O'Hara..
“ A woman with green eyes and silver hair.. ”
“ Too bad I got argos's hair instead of hers. ”
Scarlett: Hmm.. ( I heard khalil's hair was silver but after seeing the painting, it was pink not silver)
Scarlett yawned and went to bed.
Scarlett: ( I want to some kill People.. I'm bored. )
Scarlett slowly closed her eyes as she falls to sleep.
While scarlett is sleeping, at her balcony there a guy wearing a hoodie watching her.
THE NEXT DAY.
Scarlett: Let's go, maria.
Maria: c-coming!
As scarlett and maria walk through the hall.
They walked passed by the maids gossiping.
Maid; look at the young lady, she truly have changed.
Maid: I didn't know the lady can be so gadiant!
Maid: let's serve the lady with nicely and not be scared.
Scarlett: ( wonder what scarlett did, so they'd be this scared to her. )
Scarlett and Maria reached the front door, and there they saw argos and philip.
Maria: Goodmorning, your grace.. *bows*
Argos looked at Scarlett.
Scarlett: I greet the sword of the kingdom, duke argos. *Bows*
Argos: be sure to be back right after you've finished shopping.
Scarlett: of course.
Maria and Scarlett bowed for the last time and went inside the carriage.
Philip: will they be alright?
Argos: they should be, after all, you said it yourself. The way all of the assassins was killed is done by a professional.
Philip: you don't mean...
Argos: I want to see if she's telling the truth about killing those assassins.
Philip: but you did have to send Assassins after her, your grace, the young lady might get hurt!
Argos: she won't.
Philip: hmm..
WITH SCARLETT AT THE CAPITAL.
Maria escorted scarlett down of the carriage.
Scarlett: Thank you.
Maria smiled and giggled a little.
Maria: you're always welcome, my lady.
Maria: where should we be headed, my lady?
Scarlett: sword shop.
Scarlett looked around and started walking.
Maria: E-eh? But there are alot of swords in the duke's place, my lady?
Scarlett: All crap.
Maria: s-such words my lady... *Laughs awkwardly*
Scarlett: it's true tho.
Scarlett enters one of the stores.
Seller: My, my well hello there my dear costumers!
Maria: H-hello, sir...
Scarlett: I'm here for a sword.
Seller: A sword you say? Please look around *smiles*
Scarlett: Thank you.
Scarlett and Maria looked around the shop for a worthy sword for scarlett.
Scarlett: ( Swords.. )
Seller: the lady, seems to be interested with swords? Is it a gift for your brother?
Scarlett: Hmm.. No, it's for myself.
Scarlett saw a Crimson bow and touched it.
Seller: I see *smiles*
Scarlett: ( there's nothing to be— ) !?
Scarlett's chest started to pound lounder.
Scarlett: ( what's this.. )
Scarlett looked around and sees a box with red aura coming out of it.
Scarlett walked closer to it as she opens the box. Revealing a Black and Red sword inside it.
Seller: Ah, that sword, that's a fine sword indeed my lady, not everyone gets to touched that due to some magic.
Scarlett: what do you mean?
Seller: I think the old owner of this sword implanted some type of spell to keep it away from those who are not worthy to hold it.
Scarlett: is that right..
Maria: be careful my lady...
Scarlett slowly grabbed the sword and raised it.
Scarlett: Nothing happened— !!
The sword started to glow as images flashed in Scarlett's head.
Maria: M-my lady!!
Seller: oh my... It showed a different effect.
Scarlett's eyes slowly turned into crimrson red.
The seller and Maria flinches.
Scarlett: ( such power... )
Maria: lady?... Are you alright?...
Maria walked towards scarlett.
Seller: fascinating...
Scarlett: yeah.. I'm alright, Nothing to worry about.
Scarlett took a deep breath as her eyes turns back to green.
Scarlett: I'll take this sword and this bow.
Seller: right away, miss.
Scarlett payed and both of them went out of the store, leaving the seller inside.
Seller: ... ( I would have never thought.. that someone will be able to buy something so precious in a glimpse of an eye... ) The lady seem to be worthy...
WITH SCARLETT AND MARIA, OUTSIDE OF THE STORE.
Maria: where are we headed now, young lady?..
Scarlett: ... ( Those images... I cant be wrong.. )
Maria: Lady? Are you sure you're alright?...
Scarlett: ah-... Yeah, I am.
Scarlett: let's go to a clothing—
Before scarlett could even finish her sentence a guy came and walked towards them.
Guy: What's the little spoiled brat doing here?
Scarlett turned around and looking at the guy.
Maria: please don't talk my lady that way..
Scarlett: let's go maria, let's not waste our time.
Maria and Scarlett was just about to walk off when the guy pulled Scarlett's hair.
Guy: where do you think you are going?
Maria: Let go of the young lady now!
Guy: and what are you gonna do about it?
Scarlett: Could you let go of my hair?
More guys started to come as scarlett looks at them.
Scarlett: ( bunch of bastards.. )
Scarlett looked at maria, as maria fell down on her butt trembling in fear.
Scarlett: Maria..
Maria: Y-yes my lady?...
Scarlett: Close your eyes.
Guy: what are you planning to do hah?
Maria: but—
Scarlett: Just do it.
Maria gulped and closed her eyes.
Scarlett: don't open them.
Scarlett took out a small dagger and started to cut the guy's neck.
Guy: a-ack!—
One by one the guys fell down with their Neck bleeding.
Scarlett: ( haaa... Boring... )
Scarlett looked around to see no one.
Scarlett: ( there were just People here earlier.. what happened? ) ...
Scarlett: ( could this be.. )
Scarlett quickly turned around and threw her dagger hitting a guy at the top of the roof.
The magic slowly faded revealing all the people looking at the guy on the roof.
Scarlett: ( illusionary magic huh?.. )
Scarlett looked up at the guy.
Scarlett: you're quite sneaky aren't you?
The unknown guy flinches and quickly disappeared.
All the people started to gossip around them.
Scarlett: Hmm..
WHEN SCARLETT AND MARIA GOT BACK HOME.
Scarlett immediately went to the duke's office.
Scarlett slammed the door open.
Argos & Philip looked at the door with their eyes widened to see scarlett.
Scarlett: it was you, wasn't it?
Argos: ...
Philip: w-what do you mean, young lady?...
Scarlett: well I guess I won't get any answer here. Thank you for your time—
Argos: yes, it was me. Are you pleased now?
Scarlett: ...
Scarlett: stay out of my life just like what you did 5 years ago.
Philip and Argos's eyes widened as they hear what scarlett said.
Scarlett: I don't see any reason why you had to interfere with my life, when you were gone for 5 years.
Philip: lady scarlett that's... The Duke had to go to war that time.. please do understand, it was never an easy decision..
Scarlett: war huh?... Even after he came back from the war, he did nothing but neglected me.
Scarlett looked at Argos coldly.
Scarlett: ( is this how scarlett felt?... ) You have no idea, how they've treated me so terrible for the years that you were absent. You know nothing about me.
Argos: treated you terrible?... What do you mean?...
Scarlett: Find out yourself. Thank you for your time.
Scarlett bowed and went back to her room.
Argos & Philip: ...
Argos: Philip.
Philip: yes, your grace?
Argos: Find out what happened 5 years ago. I need it now!
Philip: yes! Your grace, I'm on it!
Argos: ( just what the hell did they do to my daughter?... )
WITH SCARLETT AT HER ROOM.
Scarlett: ( I won't.. let Luciano and I have death as our faith. We villains deserves an happy ending. )
“ Don't worry Luciano. I'll stay by your side until the end. We'll definitely have an happy ending. ”
“ I won't let you die a second time. ”
Scarlett's eyes turned crimson red and quickly turned back to green.
AT NIGHT WITH ARGOS AND PHILIP.
Philip: Based on what the old maids have said.. the young lady was being mistreated by the head maid—
Argos suddenly crashed the glass on his hand.
Argos: continue.
Philip: they also said that.. the young ladies's old personal maid would whip her up if the young lady—
Argos: Bring all or them here tomorrow.
Argos stood up.
Argos: that would be all.
Philip: y-yes, hour grace... *Bows*
Argos walked out of his office and walked at the hall.
Philip: ( I've never seen the Duke this agry before.. )
AT THE PALACE.

Luke: Heard what?
Knight: Your younger sister, scarlett was making a commotion at the capital earlier.
Luke: what do you mean?
